VISITING COMMITTEE.

The hospitals for the insane are visited once a
month by one or more of the three members of
the visiting committee. They go unannounced,
visit all the wards Of the hospitals unaccom-
panied by officers or employees, listen to all
complaints, investigate all charges of abuse
or wrOng-doing, communicate freely with
the patients, and are thus able to obtain a
very complete and accurate understanding of
the entire management Of these institutions.
The current report Of this committee contains
many matters of interest aud suggestions Of
value. The general conclusion is that these
hospitals are very carefully and humanely
managed, and are doing very thorough and in
every way excellent work.

Fires That Firemen Hate

" Do you know how half of the most dam
gerous fires start?"> asked an old fireman of a
reporter.
Both stood IL. the hall Of west side dwell
ing and q woman had just gone into the
basement with wooden box filed with hot
ashes.
Swell, continued the veteran without wait
ing for an answer, ''that woman illustrates it
to perfection They will put ashes in box
or barrel and then take them down to the
cellar. The first thing you know live coal
in the ashes sets fire to the barrel, and then
you have a fire which makes an awful lot of
smoke and may be suffocates somebody.
Then, again, it makes a fire bad for the
firemen to fight, for they cannot locate it. 1t
is down a cellar, and the cellar is filled with
smoke. tell you the Gremen use plenty of
'cuss' words when they are called to a fire
like that. Always put ashes in tin vessel"
and a passing car carried the speaker away
toward the quarters of his engine company.

ILLINOIS,.

1t is worthy of comment that in the
election figuring that is being done this
year Illinois is being classed as one of
the doubtful states, something that
hasn't been done for nearly thirty years.
Heretofore the Republicans have
counted ON Illinois in a presidential
contest as reliably as they have on Penn
sylvania or Kansas, and the Democrats
never questioned their claim. This year
it is different, and there are good rea-
sons for it.
Naturally Illinois belongs in the DEM
ocratic column. Her vast agricultural
interests make her so, and the only
reason she has not taken her proper
place in line with the anti-monopOly
and anti-protective forces long ago was
because of JOHN A. LOGAN'S influence
in Illinois politics. The Republican
leaders realize that the death of Gen.
LOGAN sundered the strongest cord
that held Illinois to the Republican
party. They likewise realize that by
natural gravitation the state will go
Democratic this year unless the Repub-
lican party can make change of base
and occupy Democratic ground. Hence
the vigorous effort that is being made
by the Illinois politicians to push
GRESHAM for the presidency. The
fact is that Judge GRESHAM is more of
Democrat to-day than Republican
He is in accord with President
CLEvELAND'S low tariff and anti-mo-
nopoly views, and it is asserted by those
most Intimately acquainted with him
that if he is nominated at Chicago OH
protection platform, such as Mr.. BLAINE
advocates, he will promptly decline the
nomination. If GRESHAM is nominated
on a platform of his own construction
the Republicans may save Illinois, but
in doing so they Will lose the manu-
featuring states of the East. Unless
GRESHAM is nominated Illinois is just
about as safe for the Democrats as Ken
lucky or Texas

GRAY'S DEMOCRACY.
The Man Whom Indiana Calls a
FaVorite Son.

The mantle of Hendricks, so long
''the favorite son" of Democratic
Hoosierdom, is said to have fallen on
the shoulders of Isaac p. Gray, the
Pennsylvania Quaker who has man
aged to crowd to the top of Indiana pol
tiles over the shoulders of such men as
Voorhees, and Mcdonald. 1t Indiana
is to be permitted to fill the sec
Oud place Oh the national Demo-
cratic ticket, Gov. Gray's friends
think he is the man for the place, and
until the discussions in his party ranks,
which developed the late bitter letter of
ex-senator Mcdonald, Mr.. Gray was
locked OH for the honor with much favor
all over the country. The fact that he
was oncea Republican has lent piqu-
aney to his candidacy, which was form
ally started as long ago as the 18th of
January, when he captured the Demo-
cratic conference at Indianapolis and
secured from its committee on reSolu-
tons Straight-Out Endorsement. In
the early part OF April the Democratic
state convention repeated the indorSe-
ment.
Isaac p. Gray was born in Chester
county. Pa. His ancestors were men,
bers of the Society of Friends, his great
grandfather having come over with
William Penn and having been mem
Der of the general assembly from 1854 to
1892, when Penn was governor of the
province of Pennsylvania. Gov Gray's
parents moved to Ohio in 1886. Gov.
