> 16 THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, MARCH 20, 1881 “OLD PEOPLE’S HOME. Answer of the Managers to Mrs. Blodgett’s Petition. Her Own Disobedience of Rules the Reason for Ousting Her. ‘About a week ago a petition for manda- yaus was filed in the Superior Court by a Mrs. Blodgett against the Old People’s Home, asking for a writ of mandamus to compel the ofticers of the institution to restore her to her former position as an inmate of the Home. Yesterday the answer of the defendant was filed, nm which the charges are denied seria- tim, and the little peccadilloes of Mrs. Blod- gett are dished up with true feminine relish, but in a way that will hardly be svothing to the feelings of the petitioner. After adiit- ting the main facts as to the organization of the Home, the answer states that the institu- tion is a purely charitable one, main- tained by the gratuitous services of the Boards of Managers and ‘Trustees, and by gifts from time to time by charitable individuals. They deny that it hhas $200,000 worth of. property, and that beyond the grounds and building and some unproductive real estate besides, its only assets are $21,000 worth of bonds yielding an annual income of $1,200. All the remainder of the funds necessary to support the sixty inmates must be derived from voluntary contributions.. The scheme of the Home is to provide a home for persons over 60 years old, Without referende to sex, race, creed, or na- tonality. who never have been public pau- pers, but it is denied that they are under any Tegal obligation to name any particular per ‘son, even though he or she may fall within this particular description “or to re- ceive the petitioner, Moro than this their duties are limited to the extent of their means, and_ they cannot _be. compelled, even were they bound to provide a home for all persons over G0 years old, etc. toadmit more than they could care for. Even now the expense of supporting those who became inmates before petitioner large- Ty exceeds the revenhe derived from the money and property belonging to the institu- tion. ‘The services of the Boards of Managers are wholly gratuitous, and the Jatter insist that they are not bound by law to contribute either time or money to the sup- port of any of the inmate that they have the rizht to resign at any time, even if the Home should be closed in consequence; and that itis their right to refuse also to give either time or labor in such Home to any individual inmate. They deny that they have $50,000, but admit that such sum was given them by the Chicago Relief & Aid Society in aid of the sufferers from the Chi- cago fire, of which Mrs. Blodgett is not one, and that’ such money was expended in buy- ing the fot and erecting the building where the Home now is. They also deny that as a condition for such gift they ever agreed to give Mrs. Blodgett a home, though they did ddmit her as an inmate about the same time. Such admission was entirely gratuitous, withoyt any consideration, and imposed no obligation on them to continue the support Jonger than they chose, and gave no vested right to her to demand such continuance. in the conduct of the Home certain rules and regulations have from time to time been made, obedience to which is incumbent on all the inmates. These rules, it is claimed, Ars. Blodgett has repeatedly and persistently, Tefused to obey. and when remonstrated with hias declared she would not comply with. For instance, she_has constantly insisted on taking the Key of her room with her when she went out visiting, thouzh according to the nueshe should have left it with the Matron, and has openly said she would ‘not obey any such foolish rule. Then again she has violated the rezulation forbidding her to go into the Kitchen or the servants’ rooms, and has protested she would go there as often and stay as long as she chase. Some time ago the Board of Managers changed her place at table, but she refused to take the new seat. declaring she had had one contest with the Board and had, been vic- torious, and did not fear them. ‘The Vis ing Comuuttee then labored with her, but ‘with no success, and she subsequently made the matter worse by taking her meals several times with the servants. Mrs. Blodgett’s language, it is further claimed, was anything but praper, and her remarks were more noticeable for their vigor than politeness. Finally. atter remonstrance on remonstrance had been made by the numerous Boards end Committees of ladies which manage the affairs of the Home, advantage was taken of Mrs. Blodgett’s temporary absence to declare she had been dismissed, and a curt note to that éffect. was sent to her. This action of the Board of Managers, the answer asserts, was in no wise dictated by malice or a desire to inflict personal injury, but was rendered necessary in justice to the peace and hap- piness of the remaining inmates. The de- termination to expel was reached with regret and hesitancy, and only when the Board be- came eunyinced longer indulgence would be ‘unjust. - In conelusion, it is urged that even should Mrs. Blodgett become a public charge by reason of her expulsion, that in no way gives her any right to admi The managers .and trustees render gratuitous assistance to such aged and infirm people as they may select; no one has any legal claim, nor any one more than another any moral claim. and no one can by any means gain any vested right to a support, They Have the right to makesuch rules and reau- Jations as.they choose, and to expel an in- mate for non-compliance therewith. ‘There are now seven or cight aged persons, proper objects of the institution’s “assistance, who are waiting, but who cannot be received awing to lack of funds, and as between such and all applications for admission it is the richt of the managers to discriminate, leaving out and ta in, retaining and dismissing Such persoms as they may select. And, hav- ing thus shown, as: they think, abundant reasons for their action, the defendant asks to have the petition dismissed, WHAT SIDNEY THOMAS SAYS. i" To the Editor of The Chicagn Tribune. _Cuicaco, March 19.—Independence has become acrime. To receive insults without resentment, and abuse without murmuring, are the conditions of peace at the Home. The price is indeed great, ‘The average citizen would not endure it, let the result be what it might. What would have been the con- sequences to old Mrs. Blodgett to-day as this terrible storm from ‘he lake and the north sweeps over this city if there had been no charity- outside the Old People’s Home? ‘What cared the Matron for her fate as she closed the door against her? This old army uurse night have perished in the storm on the - prairie, and no thanks to the officers of the Old People’s Home ef Chicago that she did not But her useful life is not to close yet; The door of mercy is shut, but the ates of jusiice are wide open. She. will return to the Home asain, not asadespised pauper, tobe isolated, but as a Queen to be honored. When she dies the city will mourn her loss, and the children of soldiers, with their penny offer- Ings, will place a headstone at her grave. And long after the names of her oppressors Shall be forgotten her memory will cherished and the story of her life told over and over again with kindness by those who shallin all the future be inmates of the Home.

S—<$————$—$ CIVIL-SERVICE REFORM. An Association for That Purpose Formed in Milwautce. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, MiILWavuKEE, March 19.—The formation of a Civil-Service Reform Association here, in which a number of prominent Democrats have united with about an equal number of liberal Republicans, is believed to be the mark of a new era in the history of the Democratic party of Milwaukee and Wiscon- sin, and perhaps of the National organiza- tion, Asentiment has existed among the better element in this State for some years that there is neither mental satisfaction nor pecuniary profit in holding together a politi- cal structure so unsavory in reputation and so inharmonious. in all its proceedings. Tue Turpuse struck this cord the other day in its addtess to Col. William F. Vilas. The article upon the young Madison politician has created profound im- pression throughout the State. While it re- ferred to Mr. Vilas individually, it appealed to thousands of others who were sired by Democratic fathers, but whose political and business interests have naturally tended to make them Republicans. The old-time lead- ers in this city have drifted away from the party in spite of their repeated confessions of faith, Our Democratic bankers, mer- chants, and farmers, who appreciate the need ofasound financial condition and a clean Government, have little sympathy “In common with the Bourbon organiz tion, which, in addition to its taint of disloyalty, has stood upon every side of every important issue in the conduct the present time. Gen. Brage’s position in Congress and Col. Vilas’ position in the Grant movement last spring are among the best po- Jitical illustrations of this idea. ‘The demand for a reorganization of the Democratic party under the new name finds ready response in Wisconsin. The increasing Republican ma- Yorities here prove the inability of the old party to hold -progressive people. Such business men as IL L. Palmer, John Johnston, Michael Bodden, __A! jexander Mitchell,’ George H. Paul, Edward C. Wall, and B. Leidersdorf,- who in| the past were known as active Democrats, have now either left that camp or are so un- demonstrative that no one can tell where they ‘stand in politics. Such are the men who are organizing the Civil-Service Reform Associauon, of which Gen, Winkler nas been chosen President. There is a strong like- Jihood that political discussion in the new body will support the principles of the Re- publican party. ‘The constitution of the As- sociation shows that it is pledged to the establishing of a system of appointment, promotion, and removal in the Civil-Service founded upon the principle that publ c office is a public trust, admission to which should depend upon approved fitness. To this end the Association will demand that_appointments to subordinate executive offices, with such exceptions as may be expedient, not inconsistent with the principle already mentioned, shall be made from persons whose fitness has been ascer- tained by competitiveexaminations,open toall applicants properly qualified, and that remov- als shall be made for legitimate cause only, such as dishonesty, negligence, or inefficien- cy, but not for political opinion or refusal to render party service, and the association will advocate all other appropriate measures for securmg iniegrity, intelligence, | efficiency, good orden and due discipline in the Civil Service. The conditions of membership are vholly independent of party preference, biit, while the ostensible object is Civil-Service reform, the actual result will be to give the Democracy anew name end a new start in the world.- : SUNRISE ON THE PACIFIC.

Wusos. It is very gratifying to know that W. W. Kimball, for twenty-two years the acknowl edged representative of the piano and orzan interest, considered as a department of the general commerce of our city, has now car- ried the relatively new. industry of organ manufacturing beyond the conditions of periment to a magnificent National success. There is no manufacturer in the United States now able to compete successfully in Western domains with the ‘Kimball’ or- gan, a strictly and distinctively “ Chicazo make,” whether for schools, concert-halls, churches, lodges. or the private parlor, while the territory of trade is rapidly widening in all eastern, northern, and southern direction: It is certainly the handsomest, and, mechan ally, the best constructed organ of American manufacture, while its admitted preference among the great organists of the country would seem. to evince a like superiority in the wsthetic or purely musical points.
