unless IL has been strengthened with

ideal Christian life comes from The new

justification for the action of the trus-
tees.
The hospital has been open only a
little more than three months, but the
results already achieved are encour-
aging. 1t is young, and it needs many
things to make it the complete insti-
tuition which the trustees and superin-
tendent desire it TO be. One of its
most obvious needs IS a library; and
here is an opportunity for Worcester
people to do a good work In such a
reading community as this, there must
be an abundance of summer novels and
periodicals which have outlived their
usefulness at home, but which would
be warmly appreciated by the people
on Rutland hill. Contributions of this
sort are much desired and can be made
with but trivial exertion.

THE RUTLAND HOSPITAL.

The Sunday Spy presented the first
complete account that has vet been
published of the workings of the state
hospital for tubercular patients at
Rutland. This is an institution in
which the people of Worcester county
should be interested It is not largo
enough to accommodate all classes and
conditions of men, nor does it seem
likely that the legislature would make
an appropriation large enough to es-
tablish an asylum Tor everybody who
might desire admission.
In the absence of specific provisions
in the statutes, the trustees were COM
PEELED to choose between the various
classes of patients 20 be received at
the hospital. In deciding that only
durable patients should be treated and
in charging the very moderate price of
$3.50 week for board, the trustees
adopted a conservative course and a
policy that is calculated to work the
greatest good to the greatest number.
If the legislature desires to appropriate
money enough TO make the hospital
strictly and absolutely an eleemosy-
nary institution. well and good; but UNI
til it does so, there, seems to be ample

Gen. Eagan's outbreak has done more
10 dlscredit the war investigating board
than all previous evidences or hints of
partisan bias. There is a general dis
position to consider that its belated
demand for a revision of the commits
sary generals testimony does not atone
Tor the blunder of allowing him to read
without protest in a nominally secret
session the statement which he after
ward gave in full to the press. Another
result of this extraordinary episode is
an emphatic demand for a thorough
reorganization of the arnv before +ha
force is in any degree increased, 1t is
recognized that the line officers are all
right, but the Eagan episode has re-
newed the outcry against the staff. and
that means the war department. If the
present tone of the press Is maintained
1t should result in the withdrawal of
Secretary Alger and the ousting of his
faVorites. Very seldom has there been
such unanimity concerning matter
which in narrow sense might not be
considered as menace to the welfare
OF the country. The truth is, in a
juster sense. Gen. Eagan's offense
vitality affects the public interests, for
1t demonstrates the utter disorganiza,-
ton of the military arm of the govern
ment and the ascendancy of low life
in the department. If Gen. Eagan shall
prove to be the means, unwilling
though he be, of an efficient reorganiz-
alton his disgrace may yet prove a
blessing in disguise.
