T1,TIoNs is well that attention is being
sdirected to this subject Partial investigations
t already mad, IN various States go to prove
that saaprant abuses are often tolerated. In
connection with one Of the State institutions Of
Illinois, recent disclosures serve to confirm the
impression that the need Of reform in the
management Of asylums almshouses, PRISONS
DC, is urgent throughout the country. La
Pennsy lyania the Governor recently appointed
a commission to, make Investigations, and the
result is now given. Not only arc paupers
sold to the highest bidder in some parts of
that State, after the fashion before known to
exist IN, New England, but instances OF shock
ing inhumanity are by no means rare In the
insane department of the Adams county poor
house there are three men and 4one woman
who have been confined to the floor with heavy
cha1os worn bright by constant use, for TWEEN:
ty five years and over; and, in the same insti-
tuition, there are two men chained to hfty-slx
pound weights, which they are obliged to
drag after them wherever they move. at the
Franklin county almshouse one patient over
eighty years Of age, has been chained Tor
twenty years, and two others are occasionally
confined Five counties are named In which
; cells are in the basement, dark, damp, filthy
and ill ventilated, no ground attached, no en-
ployment given, no instruction, no religious
servicesson any day of the week, and gambling
and drinking to excess No language IS 100
severe in condemnation of practices so dls-
sgraeefuttoa Christian civilization.
