Thero aro about one hundred hos- pitata for tho fnsane, publle and private, fn the Unlted Btates, and all of these, with the excep- tion of two or three, have been buiit In the lnst fitty years. meet snpually for the cxchange of views sod experfenco, This Assoclation has taken the Jead (n shapiug public opinlon upon the subject of Insapity, snd the proper treatment, both from the medical and legal point of view, The members_are men of conslderably more than arerago ability, nnd work has been done for Lhe insane which descrvea grateful rocoguition and spplause. Thero fs, however, a current of pop- qular dissatisfaction with the Assaciation, which {s not entirely without foundation, The Asso- clatfon bas laid down certain principles with ro- spect to the construction and organization of hospitals for tho Insane, to which it adheres, “without modifieation, In spite of the fact tha the character of these fnstitutions hns mdlull‘{ changed within the lnst twenty-flvo years. quarter of o ccntufiy * pgo * an {nsanc <nospital was regarded and employed simply a4 8 place of cure, but, with the fncrensed intorest ugen by the publie in the welfare of the insang «papulation, thicss fnstitutions have now become refuges or homes for the chronlc and Jucurably fnsane class. . Itls obvious that, if tho pecple ofthe United States intend to support at public cost all thelr pauper insane, sotue means of oc- complishing this work at a comparativety smull expense niust bo devised, otherwise the burden will become too great to be borne, at Ieast cheerfully, But” the mode of construction recommended by tho Assoclation of Superin- tendcnts involyes o very large original vutlay of money. In a paper by Dr. y ot ‘Phifadelpuin, read at the mecting of the Associntlon in Bt. Louis last sprlnr:, be estimated the e(‘:mpur and rensonable cost of a well-appointed hospital for the Insane at 21,500 for_cvery patieut accommodated, or lerM for 600 patlents, ‘The cost qf somo of ‘the bospltals recehtly bullt In Massachusctts, New Jersey, New York, aud Oblo has been double this_cetimate, almost. 1If the expense were unavoldable, {t night Do endured. Dut the Association Insists that provision shall be made upon this scale of expeuse, not slinply for tha curnble insaue, who renaln in the Instl- tutlon for o l‘umpm’nt_‘\'cl)‘ short perlod, but for +the chronic and hopeless tases as weil, the mu- ority of whom, perhaps, must reinain for life or remanded to the mercles of thoavernze kecper of 8 country pour-house. The position taken by tho Assoclation on this subject is undoubt- zi{l)‘ one ot honest conviction, founded on the personal experienco of the members. The ro- form which the public demands cannot, tu the nature of things, be uflumd to originato within the Assoclation, but nust be forced upon it Ly the pressuro of outside sentl- ment und opinion. It appears probable that tho lead jn tho néw miovement will bo taken by the varfous State Roards of Public Charitles, who arc also organized into an organization, and aro devoting inuch v,hn_}gln]xht- ¢80 Boards, fromn their closer relation with the tax- ayers and with- the Stato Leplslatures, have gc{lur upportunities for knowlng TIM BTATE OF IUNLIC OPINION on this subject than thy Buperintendents of bospitals are likely to have. Thelr function of general supervision of all public aud private charity within the limits of a Btate, thelr cqual knowledge of tho work necomplished lg"nll the Btato [nstitutions, and their personal visitation of county jails and almshouscs, nceessarlly glve them o broader view of the whole of publicald to the dependent classes, The cars of theso clusses, fncluding the Insaue, the {diotic, deafl and dumb, the biind, the paupers, the criminals, the orphan, and abandoned aud neg- lected ehildren, the epileptic and otber victling of misfortune, copstitutes n busincsa in jtself, which renuires for its successful prosocution o bigh degree of professional ekill’ and experi- ence. Public charity is, iu fact, an undeveloved selence, and its administration will in timo take rank with the other learned professions. An eflort s belng mado at tho fnstance of the Ilinols State Board of Public Charitics to sc- cure In the new Insane Hosplial at Kaokakeo somo modification of the plan of organlzation and commtruction as down~ by the Asgociativn of Buperintendents. «The Kan- kakeo Hospital was created by tho Legtsla- ture at its ecsslon lnst winter, Altor corre- spondence by a cammittecof tho Housa with all the County Clerks n the Btate, a great majority «of whorn repurted that the neceseity for {t was urgent, and that an appropristion for this pur- vose would boe approved Ly them and by thelr assoclates in the County Governments, This necessity arised from tho fact that there are 4,000 insane porsons in this Btate, not morathan hait of whom can be cared for in the exlsting hospitals, and of the rest a very large nuinber are outhe county farmns, where favilities for trealiog them properly are very equate, 1t will ba seen that the question which presses {or solution {s not une of provision for curable caacs, but for the chronic (nsane. Auny one of the Btate Hospitals could receivo and ears for all the curable cases in tho Btate, {f the press- wre for the admisslon of rables was not so great, )y chronle cases are so dangerous or utherwise 1roublesomo that they caunot be re- fuscd house-roum in the bospitals without sub- | Jeetlug tho oficlals and the Stato and county suthoritics to the gruve charge of Innunianity, Tho question (s asked, Why not chnage tho ex- ting hospitals fnstead of building another onud ‘The musweris* Firat, vur existing hospltalssre probably too large alrcady, 'Tho care of flve or six hundred fnsano patlcuts 18 4 great respunsi- bllu{ to be Juld upon a single Buperintendent.

The water-works and gas-worka arc at the edge of the river, which runs in front of the Hoapital nt the distance of about a quarter of a mile. In the organization of this plan scveral very great difficulties have presented themselses, of which the principal are as follows: [low to feed the patients; how to warm these detached wards; and liow to guard against nadue expos- ute to the weather nnd ngalnst escapes in pass- ing from one bullding to another, cape- cially at night. These dilficulties hnve been overcome, in part, h{v tha ar- rangement - of underground food-passages snd by tunnels for steam-pipes. In part, by separate kitchens and henting apparatus, and by lighting the strects ot nignt. Objection has been made by Buperintendnuta to the increased labor on the Buperintendent’s part, which tho- adoption of the village plan seems to entall, But this will Lo compenanted, in part, by the Increased responsibility and elhx:lenzy of sub- ordinates.

The last is an fmportant con- slderation, Inasmuch as the State carries its own firo risks, That » now departure in the method of car- ing for the {nsang Is inevitable, and ot no dis- tant day, is bsolutely certolu, The State of Iilinois may as well hiavo the credit of leading ofI lo the new movement, 1f successful, it wil Do an honor to the State, and the little Town of Kankakce may yet become famous in the annals of philantbropl¢ endeavor.

The truth {s, while we should .have manifeat- cd, on all suttable oceasluus, a deternsination to Urinz_ about resumption at the earliest day practicable, the passage of the act fixing so carly o time, withour putting in motion the neeessary machinery for preparation aud readl- ness, wos most nnfortunate,—unfortiunate for our party and disastrous to the buelness of the country, It did no good, except to showa determination, and lins resulted jn. untold njs- chlef, aud {ndividunl miscry- and loss.

The rcason was that that dollar was not mentioned fn the bill. It woa abolishied by omitting it from the st of colus, which alone were authorized to beeoined. Judge Kelley and Uen. Garfleld, who voted for and sup- ported the bill, and the Preshilent who approved it, never knew for years nfterwards that such o trick had been practiced on Congress.
