ES vi q'uite as much interest to the aver- age man as how lawyers treat each r-rther at a closedâ€"doors ‘police'court‘ :ase. Moreover, by meddling in this- ,-ase council exposes the town to a. ansuit that will make serious 81% .l'itions to the already bulky deficit; There is little doubt that if. Messrs. Steers and Hopkins are fined. then-9 iorily defend itself. With this quite natural after-ttbeâ€"fact clamor for jus- tice we have some sympathy, but no action now can wholly redeem the situation. By ordering one of its number to lodge an information, council has shown courage, and an inclination to meddle that is worthy of pandering vote-hunters. If council wouldmind its own business, its business» might be better done; and after all that is That the Steers-Hopkins fracas was a disgrace nobody denies, or that it deserves punishment; that it has not been punished, justifies a good deal of criticism that has been directed against the delay. Col. DeaCOn cannot escape a great deal 01' the blame for the whole un- z'ortunate uccurrence. By allowing Mr. Steers to direct his irritating Banter toward Mr. Hopkins all thro- ugh the examination, and Without a word of reproof, the colonel failed to maintain the dignity of the bench or the decency of a court-room, and recipitated. the scene that followed. When the insult and assault had been exchanged by the lawyers, the magis- trate was again remiss in not fining them on the spot. Slunmary vindi- cation of 'the court’s honor is the only dignified sort. Going about afterwards for some one to lay an information in cold blood can never take its. place. The bench must not solicit defenders; it must peremp- gar-d institutions of that sort. A glance at the report shows further that oxer I“ per cent. of the total (iays' stay ()1' patients at the hospi- tal was ongoyed by those who paid nothing; 51 per cent. by thoSe Who paid only 40 cents a dayâ€"whereas the average cost of maintenance was actually $1.46 per day per patient; 3!) per cent. cost $1 per day and on- ly 7 per cent. the highest $2 rate. When it is kept in mind that the board has rigidly adhered to the ;po- licy of placing patients in the class- es that their ability to pay woul-dj warrant, it will be seen that the hospital is ministering chiefly to people whose means would not ordi- narily all'ord them hospital treatâ€" ment, and. thus fulfilling the purpose .)I' its founder and laying; heavy :laims upon the sympathies, appre- ;iation and support of the communi-o 'Ihe work done by the hospital is no less gratifying than its financial statement. To those who take only a passing intervst in the hospital, it will he a surp'l‘isc to learn from’the report. in another comma, that 148 yatfents were treated there during the past ten months, and that of thess only fin- d‘ivd. It indicates ‘ a 1. hut there was a pro- nounced unaasiness lest to maintain the institution heavy grants fro-m the town and County would be reâ€" quired. The grants made this year have been quite within reason, and that with them the hospital has been giile to meet the expenses of its first year gives reason for the hope that they will not need to be increased in the future. The balance on the right side of the hospital statement is. all the 111()re,gra1tifyin-g because it was obtained ‘without the govern- ment grant, which has yet to come. That from its revaL-s the Ross Hosyital has paid all the expense of maimr-nance for the past. ten months of its oycx'aéion. is a fair indication that, its suctcss is assured. This will cum: as ad-istinct relief to those who had four for the. financial features of the institution. There is no doubt Mr. Jackson, the new officer, comes to his position onjOying a very large measure of public confidence. He is a. man of sound. judgment, high ideals, and ample legal knowledge.
