Political.

1t is stated that the republican committee in
Chicago have resolved to erect a new and
spacious hall for the accommodation of the
approaching convention. The preliminary ar
rangements are all i'll striking contrast with
the preparations which are made at Charleston
for the reception of the democracy.
The steamer r. s. Spalding has been char
tered to convey the New England delegates to
the national democratic convention at Charles
ton. The price of tickets including the whole
time of absence from Boston, has been fixed
at 500.
The republicans Of Fitchburg have elected
the delegates to the district convention Jas.
B. Lane, Tyler Younglove, Gardner Farrar,
James T. Styles, George L. Towne, William
Winch, VIM. Kimball, and James r. Welman.
The Templeton republicans have chosen L.
N. Smith, Col. Henry Smith, Col. A. Lee, and
Geo. p. Hawkes.l
According to one Charleston paper, the
Charlestonians, during the sittings of the demo
cratic national convention, will keep an espe-
cial eye upon their doors and spoons, which
will be very pleasing reflection to the demo
Gratis who are looking about for their next
meal.
Two of the Virginia congressional districts
chose delegates, Thursday, to the Charleston
convention. The delegates of one of them
are favorable to Hunter, the others are unplede.
Gu Out are supposed to be of the same predilec-
tons.

STRIKING CoNTRAsT.-By the annual report of the
Massachusetts General Hospital in this city and the Nc
Lean Asylum in Somerville notice that the whole
number of patients admitted to both during the past
was 1911, and that the expenses 1913 7S9 The num-
Der admitted during the period the Boston In
dian Medical Institute in Bromfed street, was 1929 at
an expense of only about $4,000 These figures show
that the number of patients admitted the Indian
cal Institute was nearly onefth larger than the
Der admitted at the Hospital and the Mclean Asylum
counted t0gether and vet they treated less than
one half the expense These facts and the here
presented the strongest arguments be pro-
duced in favor of the institute" and cannot fail to at
tract the attention of all interested in such matters
Had we space to enter into the different modes of treat
ment and the relative number cured contrast would
be still more striking 1t is well known that many dis
eases especially those of Cancer have treated
cessully at this Institution after they had without ben
EFT, visited the hospitals in New York well as in New
England. We have recently examined their records,
and conversed with many of their patients and know
whereof we affirm. The privilege is extended to
all who wish to investigate the merits this important

CITY AND COUNTY,

STEAM FIRE ENGINEs.-0n Thursday, this week,
a committee of City Council, consisting of AL
dermen Draper and Thayer, and Messrs Valentine,
Goes and Chamberlain of the council, visited Provi-
dence to examine the steam fire engines now owned
by that city. They were accompanied by the outgo-
ing and incoming chief engineers, Porter and Hud-
SON. and in Providence they received the most cour
teous attentions from the chief engineer of the fire
department of that city, who afforded them every
opportunity to see the working of the engines The
result was unanimous opinion in favor of "Silsby,
Mynderse, Co.'s Improved Steam Fire Engine"
sometimes called the 'Senaca Falls Engine because
it is manufactured in that place. Providence has
two engines of this kind, and that was manufac-
tured in Philadelphia. In the Senaca Falls ma
chine the steam engine has the popularity of rota
ry notion which makes its operation very easy and
beautiful. The report is that this machine is very
admirable, and superior to the other as to make
comparison almost out of place The cost of it is
about $780,
