The Opinion Of an ex-
Infirmary Director.
MAI. Mc3rcOm Expresses his
Opinions. =

On last Monday morning. a re-
porter of the Sentinel in search of
additional facts concerning the
(mls) s)management of the county In,
frmarY and CHI dren's Home, met
on the stree y, Mr.. Nal. McBroom,
who is well known citizen Of our
county and was for six ye.rs nom
Der of tho Board of In6rmary d..
rectors, and was largely instrumrn-
tai in securing The organization of
the Children's Home.
We informed Mr.. McBroom the
object of our mission, and he read =
lily assented to make statement of
the matters of which he had knowl-
edge touching the affairs of the In
Urinary and Children's Home.
His statement was in substance
as follows: I have not much per
sonal knowledge of the present man.
agement of the Infrmary ; lam &C.

perintendent, and have always and
do now consider him a very good
friend of mine. He served as di
rector upon the same board of which
l was a member being a member
before l came in. l very soon learn
cd that the board permitted great
cruelty towards the inmates of the
ln6r,nary, in allowing the Super
intendent to::whip them with any in
strument that came to his hands |;
such as black snake wagon whip.
l at once objected to this, and it
ceased during the time, at least while
I was q member of the board. l
am we'll acquainted with the man
Golding. He is not blind at all,
and is much more able to work thsn
I am. He is younger and stronger.
1 work hard almost every day, and
don't know of any reason ,.hy he
should not.
l am acqualnte d with Maria
johnson. Mr.. Black who has
made statements through the Senti-
mel is a truthful person. and
his statements entitled to credit
Two years ago my daughter was
teach r at the Childrens' Home, and
through her | learned so much of
the treatment of the inmates, as led
me to go personally to MIR. Shaw
and MIR. Polling of the board, and
MIR. Nixon the Superintendent, and
protest to them against the children
receiving such treatment as they
did. The children had nothing for
breakfast but fried mush, IN chunks
about as thicb as my tand and
hardly warmed through sometimes
they were allowed teaspoonful or
two of milk; for dinner they had
boiled meat and a little bread for
supper bread and sorghum molass-
es, or tomato butter-this Was their
diet without any variation. The
children nearly all had the Itch
Mrs. Smeltz was matron at the time. |
My daughter and Rebecca Clinker,
who was COOK at the time, are
witnesses of the facts l have given.
l think change should be made
by all means, for | am satisfied
there is a good deal of truth in the
charges that have been made.
My opinion is that Mr.. Nixon is
not Fl man for the place. He is
a man of no feeling. He should
retire at once.

Why the Major x ept out of Politics.

"Ay thC AAeJOE kASpt Out O1 k-OllSlCSs
On the principle OF ''giving the devil his
due" the true reason why the Major was "out
of politics. this year should be stated, at loast
as it has been told to us.
On the morning after the Argus building had
been burned down, Col. Benton came down
the street, and, on hearing the news, expressed
his deep regret, accompanying it with the
statement that "the collapse Of the Argus
would be public calamity, not only to Fargo,
but to all Dakota and the Northwest" and a
day or two after lie sent the Major his check
for very respectable sum. As, for some time
before this, the Major and the Colonel had been
at ''Outs," and the former had never let slip a
chance to touch up the latter in the columns
Of the Argus, this generous deed touched the
big heart Of the Major, and when, at the be-
ginning Of the campaign, the Colonel came to
him and said that lie had but one favor TO ask,
and that was that during the coming fight the
Argus should confne itself to political warfare,
and that lie hoped nothing would appear in its
columns that would hurt the feelings Of Lis
wife and family, the Major grasped him by the
hand and assured him that he need have nc
fear Of any mud-slnging or personal attacks
during bis candidacy. Aud this is the current
reason given why the Major was "out of poll.
tics''-a reason that reflects credit upon both
parties in the generous transaction. Cassezto,l
