The Tewksbury Alms-House.

Notwithstanding the horrible dis
closures made by witnesses in the
investigation Of the management of
the Tewksbury alms-house, the
Boston Herald is so far moved by
partisan spirit as to say that.
''Thesievidence IN the TewAsbury
alms-house investigation shows not
only that the aims was well
managed, but that its management
was steadily improving under the
wise supervision of the commission
of health, lunacy and charity. In the
last year the inmates were better
cared for than ever before, and
there was nothing of any conse-
quence to complain of. The evil
dence upon which Gov. Butler re-
lied has been shown to be of the
most worthless character, and the
clap-trap about the freak of medi-
cal student who had piece of hui
man skin tanned, which has moth
ing whatever to do with the man
at its true value. Gov. Butler, who
showed at Harvard that he knows
how to behave well, ought to come
out squarely and acknowledge that
he was mistaken about the Tewks-
bury almshouse, and show his will
ingness to make the amends honor
able" Gov. Butler will do nothing
of the kind. He has proved that
the inmates were inhumanly treated;
that dead bodies were sold to medi-
cal colleges; that the property of
the dead was confscated by atten-
dants; that human skins were
tanned, and that this awful state of
affairs continued for years without
any attempt being made to change
the management of an institution
that was a disgrace to Amesican
civilization. The governor was not
mistaken about the alms-house, and
consequently will not admit that he
was, even to please the Herald,
which can see nothing good in any
thing he does.-Banner.
