TIE SOLDIERS, HONE.

Senator Carpenter has performed a good
service to the Army in moving an investiga-
ton into the management of the Soldiers
Home. This institution ought to be con-
Quoted in strict conformity to the objects
for which it was founded, and its income
should not be disspated in providing sum-
mer residence for the President and his
family and soft places for influential officers.
There is nothing which does the Army more
harm than such sinecurism as the Governor
should not be managed by an Army officer,
for no one can understand what is needed
better than an officer who has served much
with troops in the field. The laws governing
appears in the Army Register to show who is
in command there, and it is alleged that
there is no proper system OF accountability.
We do not doubt that the officers in charge
are and have been entirely free from sus-
picion of corrupt administration. But if the
funds which really belong to the old soldiers
have been used to furnish quarters for Off
GERS or for the President and his family, ii
the produce of the grounds have. been made
use of to subsist these establishments, it il
plain that petty abuses exist which cannot
exist without scandal which is an injury tc
the Army that can in no degree be compen
sated for by having nice place and pleasant
residence for single favoIte of the Admin

A CITY HOSPzT1L NEEDED.

The general public are not aware that,
while possessing great variety, perhaps too
great, of charitable institutions, the city of
Washington has nopublic hospital. Numer-
Gus cases come under the notice of the police
authorities where hospital treatment is
needed, and for which there is no place
available but the almshouse hospital. Major
Morgan, while Superintendent, called atten-
tion to this lack in his official reports, and
we may add that the Commissioners have
long felt and still feel the need of centrally
located hospital under their own direct
control. Among the class of cases for which
no proper provision can now be made are
those of dipsomana, and there is probably
no city in the country where men of some
character and social position, but who have
become addicted to drink, come more often
under the notice or into the hands of the
police, when it is equally obvious that their
condition needs RESTRAINT and treatment and
that they ought not to be sent to the work
house.
The fact is that the whole system of chari-
ties which the people of this city are taxed
to support needs overhauling and bringing
under some central head. Large appropria-
tions are annually made ont of the District
treasury for the support Of charitable insti-
tutions Of which the official representatives
of the people and custodians of their funds
have no knowledge other than what ordi-
nary citizens have. The Commissioners
have no supervision of these institutions,
no voice in their management, and can re-
quire no account of their expenditures. II
follows necessarily from this lack of system
that there is absolutely no means Of deter
mining what are the just proportions OF tn,
charge which these various independent
charities ought respectively to put upon th'
general fund raised by taxation. But t,
substitute any central and general supervi
sion and control would interfere with th,
dozen different little principalities, will
their separate managing cliques, whicl
exist in jolly Independence, and would doubt
less be vehemently resisted by most of them
Nevertheless, it is painfully evident that a
no distant day the need will be seen for sonl
arrangement by which the expenditure q
public funds for such similar objects as ar
aimed at in most of these hospitals will Ia
brought under some systematic supervision
Probably the best plan would be to have
Board of Charities and Corrections, wit
power to inspect and audit expenditures
and TO report to the Commissioners. Mear
while, it is greatly TO be desired that "
should have a city hospital directly col
trolled by the Commissioners and all IL
more because such hospital would afford
means Of comparison with the economy or e'
travagance ofthe management of the other il
stitutions supported either wholly or partl
from the District revenue, SO that the props
appropriations for each of them could
more accurately judged. We believe lare
sum could be saved in the future by takin
such step and following II up With SON
measure to bring all the public charities
the District under central head.

the PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRACY

4 HG TEAMS T. ' u ANfh fpEhOt I +.
Last weeks curiosity in Pennsylvania
politics was a sudden desire by the Randall
Vaux-Tilden faction for love-feast with the
Wallace regulars. A simultaneous cry for
harmony went mp from the politicians who
have been intriguing like beavers and lying
like devils to gain control of the coming State
Convention for the twofold purpose of polit-
ically entombing Senator Wallace and put
ting the Pennsylvania Democracy into their
pockets to trade on at Cincinnati. Like the
busily circulated lies about having elected a
majority of Tilden delegates, this harmony
| talk is started for effect. II Is trick. As
| ex.SheriG McGowan, of Philadelphia, said
| Thursday night
| 1t means that General IIancock's friends have
elected very decided majority of the State delega-
lons, exclusive OF the Philadelphia delegates, and
that consequently the Philadelphia Tldenites viii not
have the distribution OF choice seats In the State Con-
vert ton. They therefore asking the privilege Of
occupying of the window lodges In that Convene
| ti0n.
The men who would not have scrupled at
seating the Vaux boilers from the party in
Philadelphia, If they could have mustered
strength enough, have changed their tone Of
boasting for one of entreaty, and now hope
to persuade their victorious opponents not
to take the fruits of victory, by adopting the
unit rule and sending an instructed delega-
ton to Cincinnati. They even hope to i'm
pose on the fears of the country delegates and
get their bolting faction recognized by di-
viding the Philadelphia seats with it. We
do not believe they can succeed in either at
tempt. There could be no better way to en-
courage boiling than to pay premium for
it 10y ousting regularly elected delegates to
make way for the boilers. If part of the
Vaux men are to be seated for Philadelphia,
why not treat the Allegheny contestants in
the same way! In fact, why not divide the
cake wherever those beaten for delegates
want some badly enough to ask for it
The cry for harmony is most ludicrous,
considering the source from which it comes.
General Hancocls's friends have not heaped
, abuse upon any of the leaders of the oppo
site side, and have stirred up no faction
fights. Senator Wallace has not replied il
kind to the bitter and unmeasured abus,
that has been heaped upon his head. They
4, have nothing to apologize nor atone for, ant
nothing to retract. Their delegates hav,
been elected by conforming to the rules o
q the party, and they do not propose to b

: have their course dictated by those who's
failure to get the places they have sought

The survivor of the American Civil War
now and then runs across things In English publca-
tions which excite smile at the peculiar backward
of real war. We find In late British mails example
OF this In the speech of Colonel Stanley, Secretary OF
State for War, In submitting the army estimates to
the House OF Commons. TIc said:
There is another point In connection with the medi-
cal service to which should like also to draw aiten-
tiOn. In the recent attack S0cOcOenis $ camp the
