INSANITY IN THE COUNTBY.
Wisconsin Joda-e Lars Its Increase
to Free Urllverr of Mall.
County Judge John Cbloiiek of Man
towoc. Wis., makes the interesting as
sertion that In his opinion the growth
and extension of, the rural free deliv
ery system Is an Indirect, but prolific,
cause of Insanity.
. He reusons that It prevents the so
cial gatherings heretofore common In
the rural sections, where the village
IKiNtoill.-e was the rally point a"1' Kcn
eral conversational exchange station,
and thereby causea life on the farm to
be more lonely, dreary and Isolated,
In supiKirt of his theory be cites the
fact that there have been more insan
ity cases before the Manitowoc probate
court during the last quarter than dur
ing any corresponding period since the
court waa established. Judge Culoupex
further says:
"I think the rural mall route Is do
ing more than -anything else to cause
the Increase In Insanity in tne country,
Before that was Inaugurated people
aathered at the postofflce, at the coun
trv store, at the neighbors'. People
saw more of each other; now they get
their mall every morning; everything
la brought to them; they lesd a se
cluded life, sometimes not seeing any
one for many days. It Is the lone
someness of the thing that drives peo
ple to the madhouse.
"The farmers' wives are the ones
more particularly affected by thla new
condition. Insanity Is Increasing at a
rapid rate In the rural communities,
and especially Is this true among the
women. In our last report the propor
tion of women cases was much grester
than that of the men. Nine out of teo
cases In this country come from the
country districts."
It Is a common complaint among vil
lage grocers anil merchants that the
It. F. I. system Is a great Injury to
their trade and tends to make rural
villages dull and dead, by remqvlng one
of the chief Incentives which brought
the farmers to town.

of the Western Federation ol Miners,
the Chicago lawyer said the actton
of Steunenberg In asking for United
States troops to quell riot and the
establishment of martial law In 1899
was unjustifiable aad had properly
stirred up Immense feeling lu labor
circles against the governor.
Mr. Harrow's argument, unfin
ished when court adjourned, devel
oped into an appeal tor labor aa
against capital, and a denunciation
of all opposed to the unions. He held
an audience startled and open
mouthed as one after another the
sentiments poured from his Hps. His
attack on Orchard was expected, aud
in this respect he fulfilled and sur
passed the limit of sensation., Three
hours were given to Orchard, and It
was only when vituperation, physi
cal force and words were spent that
Mr. Harrow now turned to James II.
Haw ley.
The State of Idaho came In tor a
large share ot Mr. Darrow's denun
ciation for the purt it has played la
the prosecution. Culture, education
and wealth each in turn were de
scribed aa constituting a combination
against which the worklngmen, the
uneducated and the poor -must ever
be opposed. Mr. Harrow sneered at
the universities as purveyors of cul
ture. "And what Is a cultured man,"
he cried, "but a cruel tyrant al
ways?" Reaching the climax of hla denun
ciation In sympathy for the working
class and hatred for the rich, he as
sailed the Constitution of the conn
try, and cried: r
"The Constitution! The Constitu
tion. It Is here only to destroy the
laws made for the benefit of the
poor."
Mr. Harrow s defense of labor
unions and ot union men waa pas
sionate and his eulogy of the West
ern Federation eloquent. Lovingly
he touched on the beauty of self-sac
riflce found in the "struggle for hu
manity where only the worklngmnn
is found," and then, with the bitter
est sarcasm, bis voice pitched to the
highest note and arms unralsed, he
heaped abuse upon the selfish rich
and upon the administration ot the
State ot Idaho.
