LONDON; WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7.

Trot Asioastion for Improving the Condition of
lie Sick Poor I. Workhouses ogress very oppor-
tunely before the public. The sufferings of invalid
peoples have at length taken deep hold on the
mamma mind, and on urger cry for reform some
from every section of society. Our workhouses are
already hospitals, ia the sense of being filled with
tin sick and infirm, and a movement which aims M
providing the former with proper hospital attendance
is so remocable and humane silo command the
sympathies of all interested in the poor. The cease
of neglect and cruelty broiled Io light during the
bst few month. form, it is grestlylto be fasted,
but en bagnifimat per-centego on the number of
whiek the public never hear; and it is impossible
for an impartial thinker to give attention to work-
house discipline without arriving at the convic-
tion that our parochial system is rotten at the core,
and needs a revision whichlehall be at once stern,
sharp, end decisive.

The new Association proposes to seed new
hospitals, and to remove the six thousand sick
paupers now in our London workhouses into
them ; to furnish these hospitals with qualified
ammo and au efficient medical star ; and to pro-
vide the morawy funds by a general metropolitan
rate. We cordially agree with these gentlemen as
to the horrible inefficiency of existing arrange-
ments, and as to the vast boon which would be
conferred on the six thousand poor invalids they
propose to benefit. As a matter of expediency,
log the leaders of this important movement are
perhaps wise in limiting their attention to smite
were, and in excluding from their care the idiots
and imbeciles, the old and the chronically infirm.
It is of course easier to deal with sir thousand
people than with thrice that number, for the
serious obstacle to improvement--expense--is

materially lammed ; while the support of political
economists lends practical aid to the sympathy of
the charitable, if adding to the available labour of
the country, by more speedily restoring the sick
pauper to health and strength, be one of the main
features of the scheme.

There is, however, another side to this ques-1
Lion, and one which we shall take leave to con-
sider. The duty of this course is the more argent,l
from the error fallen into by a contemporary in its
issue of yesterday. After commenting upon the
objects of the new society, and airily patting on
the back "the good people who met at Willis's-
" rooms," with the assurance that the task before
them was far simpler than they seemed to think,
our contemporary gravely informed the public that
the lunatic and the idiot were now transferred
from the workhouse to the asylum. The state-
ment implied is beat met by the fact that in the
workhouses of the metropolitan district alone there
are at this time 1,800 idiots and im-
beciles. Of the 10,500 old and infirm inmates
of the same houses, we have authority for stating,
fully one half require medical attendance. Thus,
while giving efforts on behalf of the acutely
sick our hearty co-operation and support, we
earnestly hope for a comprehensive measure which
shall include every reform aimed at by the
new Association, whilst remedying the flagrant
evils besetting the treatment of the old, the im-
becile, and the infirm, evils with which it does not
attempt to cope.
As an example of the sufferings which would
not be touched by anyaction limited to acute eases,
let us cite the instance of kfarrirew Mutt. This
pauper was admitted into Shoreditch Workhouse
on the 17th of July last year, and was discharged
on the 22nd of the following August. The work-
house medical officer certified that Mutt, we, suf-
fering from " chronic mania" at the time of his
admission, and justified his forcible expulsion five
weeks later by saying he was "cured." Mutt's
wife swore at the official inquiry subsequently made
that she had been sent for, and in spite of protes-
tations, tears, and entreaties, was compelled to
remove her insane husband from the house to her
lodgings. A few days afterwards he ran away,
was discovered in the dead of the night breaking
windows in the City, declared to be a "wandering
" lunatic," and forthwith sent to the County
Asylum. The authorities of the City of London
Union, in whose district he was found at large, and
the authorities of Shoreditch, in whose district
be had lived for many years, squabbled as to
which should defray the cost of his keep, or there
would have been no official inquiry, and no public
investigation. As it was, though the man was shown
tobe mad at the time of his expulsion, no one was re-
primanded or punished ; and, from the facts elicited
at the inquiry, and its result, it seems clear that a
workhouse master and doctor, or a relieving officer
and doctor, have but to act in collusion to expel or
refuse admission to the insane poor.

The public voice calls for some assurance
that the helpless inmates of workhouses shall meet
with fair and just treetops* and thou. remov-
ing six thousand of theii nuraber int" WOW'
would be a step in the riglif dlopetion, i,t simnikl
be remembered
beats,oe *ice
of idiots and imecile of agotl and i*m,
would be left unrelientil. ple4ineWn
from the same stock, Ate as senidble to pain and se
susceptible to proper treatment as the rest ; and
we see no-good reason for their being left to the
tender mercies of pauper nurses, and deprived, as
now, of proper medicines and suitable food. The
truth ia, the power of dealing with and providing
for workhouse inmates is at present in the bands
of men incapable of using it properly ; and while
welcoming the efforts of the Sick Poor Association
and approving its aims, we should hail still more
warmly a well-tionaideced proposal for comprehen-
sive, instead of partial, parochial reform.

HOW REVOLUTIONS ARE EFFECTED.,

secret penes, told Prince Couak gimit a was
lelf‘ar against him, and would break o the
night; that the army was won over, and than. the
guard of the palace would take the initiative. The
Prince at aloe summoned the oommandant to his pre-
Genes, and ordered him to inspect the different posts
with a view of ascertaining the correctnees of the 1
information. At the same time he ordered the
Prefect of Police, Belohinaa, to adopt all the re-
quisite precautions during the night. The com-
mandant and the Prefect of Police saw the Prince
an hour later, and assured him that there was no
necessity for apprehension. At 2 o'clock in the
morning the Prince returned from a visit toldadame
Obrenowitch, followed at a distance by several of
the conspirators, who were disguised an night
gouda. The Prefect of Polioe was during the
interval engaged in playing for large stakes with
others of the conspirators, who allowed him to win,
thus diverting his attention from his duties. At 4
o'clock the conspirators entered the palace, and
forced the Prince to sign his abdication."
