OUR GOVERNMENT

INSTITUTIONS.

It ia customary, at this season, to give special attention to the needs of the unfor- tunate, the poor,the iofirm and ill. A few observations concerning our Hospital tor the Insane, Poorhouse, Jail and otber public institutions will, theretore, we feel sure, receive the attention of readers of Tax Examiner.

The visitor to the Hospital for the Insane will find the institution clean throughout, and considering that a hur. dred and eighty unfortunates, not to speak of officers and assistants, are pent up within its walls, the rooms sre, taken for all in &.i, wonderfully free from offensive smells- The supervisor aud matron are es idently efficient officers; and for wholesome food and safficient clothing the patients are apparently in no need. The bread made by Mr. McDonald is particularly worthy of note. It is always good. But the want of more room is painfully evident. Think of ten single beds in one room and that not a large one; snd alike disproportion between breathers end space throughout the building. According to the contract, signed in the early part of the year, the addition to the Hospital, so badly needed, ehonld now be in occupation. But while

bricks and timber and other building materials lie scattered about the grounds, noteven the foundation of the building has yet been laid. Somebody has blunder” edi—the contractor says he didn’t,—and the hospital remains greatly over-crowded. In the opinion of many persons- and these among the beet informed—th : n: w building ought not to be attached to the old one. It should be detached and made a recepti- cal for the poor, with wards for incurable idiots and those simple inoffensive persons who now, unnecesearily, contribute towards the over-crowding of both the Hospital for the Insane aod the Poor House. Perhaps the Government will—seeing the old con- tract is “‘off”—reconsider the matter and have pew plans drawn to meet the condi- tions in thecase. The chief needs of the Hoepitaljfor | nsane seem,to be (1) more room> and (2) better provision for the cure of in- sane persons who are curable. How can it be expected—how is it possible—that the mind diseased can be cured by taking the

patient from howe to a hospital in which he or she is at once placed among, and compelied to

live among, #lot of luaatics ? No physician, even the most «kilful and attentive, could be successful in his treatment under such circumstances. But the physician for our Hospital for Insane cannot possibly be particularly attentive to those patients who are curable—because he is not resi- dent in or cear the hospital. Upon this point a radical change is evidently needed, aad in order that the change way be made

a vew building must be erected. The imamediate erection of anew building is, therefore, essential to tbe fulfilment of the grand object of the institution—the cure uf lunatic personas.

The poor house is an institution that is deserving of more than passing notice. | ia located at Brighton, adjoining the

forms a part. It establishment dates from 1869, when it was instituted by the Coles Haythorne Government. At its incep:ion Sergeant Allen was appointed master, and he bas discharged the duties of the im office ever since. Indeed, if the position were vacant tomorrow it weuld be exce¢¢- ingly difficult to find a man who would discharge its duties with greater regard for his employers interests and with more consideration and feeling for those who are under his care. He has an able COadjater im the person of Mrs, Allen who looks

after the women inmates. A <fepresentative of Tae Exawixer

and was kindly shown over the place by )

Sergent Allen. He found the various apartments clean and neat in every par- ticular, and considering the large number

; Of inmates the air in the rooms was very

good indeed, The rooms are comfortably heated, and the beds warm clothing,

are provided with In many instances, how- blankets have better days, and the necessity of procuring a supply of new ones seems to be pressing

Another matter that requires attention

is the bathing of the inmates, As the iv- mates come inthey are bathed and made as clean as possible, aud every succeeding week the operation is repeated. But the one bath tub with which the institution is furnished is located in the extreme end of the building and can only be reached by going outside the place. Thisis not an easy thing for the older and more infirm of the inmates to do, especially in the winter season, and there is a good deal of com-~ plaining in consequence. | There should be bathrooms off each ward, so that al) the inmates may receive proper attention at regular intervals and in the interest of tne health of all concerned.

There are 49 persons in the institution at

the present time. These occupy all the regular beds, and during the past three or four days four beds have beea added. The largest room is 27x17 feet, and in it there are 14 male inmates. In another room, 26x17 feet, there are 10 male inmates. In two rooms, 26x17 feet each, there are 19 female inmates. There are four inmates in a rcom 9xI7 feet, and one sleeps in the washouse and another in the hall. The ages of the iamates range all the way from 14 to110 years. The oldest fe- male mmate, Mrs. Owen Murphy, is said to be 110 years of age, and the oldest male inmate, George Cannon, is said to be 108. Both have been inmates of the poor house for a good many years. During the year Ll persons have been admitted to the in- stitution, and there have been 7 or 8 deaths: Of the present inmates 26 are Roman Catholics and 23 are Protestants.

Among the inmates are two boys, each about 14 years of age, who ought to be ip a reformatory.or some such institu- tion. There are aleo twelve or thirteen older inmates who are more suitable subjects for an insane asylum than a poor house Some of the latter have already been in the asylum, and tbeir ac.ions at times would seem to indicate that they should be there yet.

Despite the fact that the accommoda- tion is 80 overtaxed, there is no sickness in the inst tution other than that caused by old age and infirmity, a circumstance which speaks volumes for the care taken of the place and its inmates by Mr. and Mrs. Allen.

The diet of the inmates is wholesome, and the supply is not stinted. They get soup, meat, potatoes and bread for dinner five times a week, and on Wednesdays aud Fridays they get fish and potatoes, with Tea and bread and butter For

ever, the seeu

bread and tea. is given for eupper each night. breakfast each morning oatmeal porridge with bread and tea is the bill of fare.

As the reporter was passing through the different rooms the inmates were interro- gated regarding themselves and their surroundings, and they promptly expressed their satisfaction at the manner in which they were treated by those in authority in the institution.

Queen’s County jailis another of the Government’s institutions that was called at by the reporter. He was met at the jail gate by Mr. McNeill, the assistant keeper’ and courteously taken over the place. Everything wae found to be clean and neat and the prisoners seemed to be enjoying» the best of health. There has been no stone breaking going on in the jail for two

prisoners are called upon to perform is the carrying of coal, shovelling of snow, scraty, bing, and such other light work as may

be necessary about the institution. The

term “hard labor,” so far as the jail is con-

cerned, is a misnomer.

At the time of the reporter’s visit there were seventeen prisoners in the institution. Of these twelve are serving out sentences, and five are awaiting tria! inthe Supreme Court. There are no women prisoners. Phree of the prisoners awaiting trial are boys ranging in age from fourteen to sixteen years. The rooms occupied by the prisovers were found to be clean and comfortable and the inmates seemed to be enjoying the warm fires provided for them. One of the pr'soners of a literary tarn of mind has embellished the wails of his room with poetry and mottoes of various kinda. Overthe door he placed the words “In God we Trust,” and over the shelvea containing the eating utensils, etc., the proverb “Waste Not Want Not.” {n another part of the room, surmountiug an apchor, arethe words “Faith, Hope and Charity.”

That portion of the building fronting on Sydney Street, was erected some seventy yearsago. About 17 or 18 years since an ex'ension was made to the building, which materially increased the accommo- dation for prisoners and keepers. The older portion of the building is badly in want of repair. Indeed, unless some at- tention is given to the outside front there will soon be none of the clap- boarding left. The fence surrounding the institution

also requires attention. It . may, however, be the intention of Premier Warburton to carry out

his idea of having the jai! removed outside the city limite.

Mr Harvie, the keeper, and Mr. McNeil! the assistant jailer, both discharge their duties in a painstaking and capable manner. Miss Harvie, the matron, is also moat assiduous in the d.seharge of her duties.

+e —Hon. Mr. Sifton 1s in Wasbington— at the public expense—arranging for inter- national! relief for the sufferers at the Klon- dike,—though the telegrams intimate that there is no want of food, no suffering, and no need of reliet! But Mr. Sifton must

have his turn at rubbing shoulders wita the Washington politicians,

—A Montreal telegram to the Guardian | reports: “Archbishop Bruchesi arrived from Rome today. In an interview he! said the principle of the Catholic Church is Catholiceducation and if Sir Wilfrid Laurier saw fit to adopt legisiatioa restor- ing the rights of the miaority in Manitoba the hierarchy would stard by him, other- wise they would not.”
