DR.. GIddinrs RssIrna.

The resignation of DR.. Giddings of the
Waterbury asylum was placed in the hands
of the trustees last Saturday and it was
formally accepted at a meeting of the
board held Wednesday. 1t will take eff
feet as soon as his successor can be decided
on by the trustees. 1t is understood that
there are three prominent candidates for
the place. Among them DR.. W. N. Thomp-
son, for several years past first assistant at
the Brattleboro Retreat. DIR. Thompson,
standing on the threshold of middle age, is
just at the time of life when, with his
careful training, ample experience and un-
doubted executive ability, he would bring
to the duties of the superintendency all Of
a young mans zeal and enthusiasm, and
determination to win success. He is
warmly supported for the appointment by
the Brattleboro physicians, including DIR.
Lawton, the Retreat superintendent, and
by his other Brattleboro friends. 1t is un-
derstood that decision as to the appoint
ment may be reached at a meeting of the
trustees to be held next week.
The Waterbury asylum seems now to be

Some of the newspaper writers are en-
tertaining themselves just now with a
story that Major Mckinley is not friendly
to Thomas b. Reeds election as speaker of
the next House, and that an effort will be
made to give the place to Gen. Grosvenor,
McKinley's personal friend and one of his
active supporters and campaign managers.
Such a story has no basis of reasonable
probability. Because Mr.. Reed was Nc
Kinley's rival for the presidential nomina-
tion it does not follow that unfriendliness
existed between them, and it is conspcu-
ously true that Mr.. Reed did everything
possible to assure Major McKinley's cleo
ton. He set the keynote for the magnif-
cent result in his own state of Maine. In
due time he went upon the stump in the
great states of the middle West, and then,
at the critical time, just as the campaign
was closing, lent the powerful aid of his
voice and presence to keep California in
the Republican column. No one need
fear that Mckinley will commit such an
act of political unwisdom as to try to pre-
vent Tom Reeds election as speaker of the
Fifty.fifth Congress. The president-elect
knows very well that in the speakers chair
Reeds power and influence will be greater
than even the presidents own in carrying
through the legislation that will be essen
tial for the success of the new administra.

AsYIum SAFEGUARDS.

The Boston Transcript, noting the scan
dal at the Waterbury asylum, gives this ac-
count of the safeguards which are thrown
around the Massachusetts asylums to pre-
vent cruelty or abuses in their manage
ment:
"The regular visitors of the institutions
are the individual members of the Board of
Lunacy and Charity, in addition to a spec
ial committee of the board, the inspector of
charities, the superintendent of indoor
poor, the governor and the members of his
council, committee of the legislature, and
the local trustees of the different institu-
tions and the medical staff of each. In ad-
dition to all these, with any of whom the
inmates of an asylum can talk freely, they
are provided with writing materials and
locked letter boxes, so that they can at all
times write to the Board of Lunacy and
Charity or to others, without hindrance
from the superintendent or other officer OF
the hospital. Letters written by inmates
are invariably forwarded to their addresses,
except in the case of those coming from
patients notoriously erotic; their letters,
in the interest of decency, have to be sup
pressed.
"The inspector of institutions is required
10 maintain IuOIOuBu ONoIslSub VI all INC
insane hospitals; the superintendent visits
all of them upon special business, but
keeps his eyes open to what is going on
generally, and listens to all that is said to
him by the men and women under treat
ment; there is a committee of the Board
of Lunacy and Charity which visits the
institutions at stated times, and the indi-
vidual members of the board have author
ity to visit them at any time; the governor
and council make an annual tour of exam
ination; the legislative committee on Pub
lie Charitable Institutions visit each of the
hospitals in the course of the session, and,
in addition, as already mentioned, there
are the local trustees, the medical staff and
the letter box"
Some of these precautions, like the visits
of the governor and the legislative COM
mittees, are purely perfunctory, but ON the
whole the system seems to be very thor
ough. But in Massachusetts and Vermont
the main thing is to have supervisors who
supervise, and other officials who, in the
first place, are instructed in their duties
and who, in the next place, perform them,
