Thera will doubtless bo timo for & fow more remarks and suggestions concorning this insti- tution bofore the much-nceded roformation takes placo, One pleasant day Inst weok o visit was made to the County Insano Asylum and the Alms Houso by s dologation of four members from tho # Frionas' Missionary Committeo” of the Twon- ty-sixth Stroot Mooting, viz.: Joseph Joues, Ruth Pickoring, Ann 8immes, and R. P. Gifford, ‘Wo wero kindly rocoived and shown to the dif- foront apartmonts of ench institution, thero Boing no roluctanoce on tho part of the managers 0 asslat ua in our observations. Tho Awsylum and its arrangoments pave ws much eatisfaction, and the steps in progross for its furthor improvement nre nucnum{(lhm. But tho picture prosontod by the Alms-House, wns gloomy cuough, and flilod our minds’ rocollections, 1t is 1ot our purpose, in offoring these remnrks, to chorgo our county suthoritios, or auy ono olge, with noglect of duty, but we desiro to submit o few suggostions to our thoughtful and earnost ronders, hoping it may bo the menns of awalen- ing sympnthy aud promptivg to more dofinito action in tho matter before us, Thoso who have bolped so lminly to raplonish the County Trons- ury, during tho past fow months, shonld now conio forward with their patitions for the right oxpenditure of thesa contributiona, "I'ho condition of our Alms-Houso ealls loudly upon every citizen to speak aud act, notonly from cousiderations of sympathy for the suffar- ing and dying, but for considorations of right polioy for the hiving. 3 As o live and progressive county and clty, lot ns prize those things which will prave favorable to our progrossion. Letus be wise in our de~ cision, whether o grand snd expensiva Court- House will conunand moro rospect for us than a commodious and well-regulnted hospital. For it i8 the hospital wo waut to speak of in our talk about the Alms-House, believing that tho first step of improvement will be tho removal of tho sick from the closo and unbealthy gonfinemont they are now subjected to in the lattor place. The reason for their being there is, perhaps, very woll known, from the fact that tho present nccommodations at_tho Arnold Stroot Hospital aro nltogothior insufiicient. y We desire first to call attontion to the impor- tauce of holping thoso who cannot help thom- selves, and if this is dono at the Alms Houso tho results will be fayorablo to all other condi- tions of oxtremity which wo flud thero, If tho 6paco now ocoupied by the hospital cases could bo clonred to-day for tho accommodation of tho cripplod and tho sged, the bonefits of even_this ono stop would bo groat, ‘The officers, physi- cisug, and carctakers labor under many disnd- vaulages in providing for tho sick by thus nmwdmf paupers and hospital pationts under oua roof. “Iio_cooking dopartment is oarried on for Alms-Tfouse purposes, on a sealo adaptod to tho Wanta of paupars, sud it cannot bo expaoted that such an arrangomont -will ever meot the nocossities of the sulforing sick. Tho medical dopartment presents tho same icturo of inconsistency, aud the long, wakeful ours of days aud nights, of months and yenrs, find no solico in g\p[)roErlntn proscriptions, bos cauo tho sutloror is in tho Alms-Ilouse, and not in the Hospital, Would that maro of our Christian poople in Chicago wore visitors at our so-called public charity institutions to soo for themselves. Read- jug roports may teud to help our opinions movo Torward, but to bo oyowitnesses of the suffering within our llmits is romothing which plays upon thie botter chiords bf our nutures aftor thio nows- pn{)cr ia thrown asido, 5 Hollow-citizons, lot us plend for o now hos- pital which shall stand a8 a monument to show that Cook County is not without n groat sympn- thizing heart in the midst of her commorcial progress, Then, after wo ghall have visited our new nnyml, wo will call nb the Almp-Iouso ngain and suggest more space and better ventilation dirst, and then s woll-organized system_of ngri- m\llu_l‘n\ and mechanienl iudustry.
