tablished, both in the male and female department; also training schools for the attendants, and regular Sabbath school services have teen established. It is f irther shown that the patients are given every opportunity to write to their friends: they are given books and papers and periodicals to read; they have pastimes and games; they have music and dancing and gymnasium exercises. In fact everything that can be done to divert them is done. Lawn games, such as croquet, foot-ball and base-ball in the summer time are encouraged, The members of the Civil Service Reform Association, Mr. Morton and Mr. Howland, were put upon witness stand and examined by the counsel for the committee, and it was shown in heir examination that they signed their printed report, which was used as a campaign document by the Republican party in the last campaign, without having nersonal knwowledge of the facts stated in that report. It was shown by several witnesses whose names are mentioned in that report that they did not give the information which it is claimed tnat they gave in that report, notably Mr. Francis Burt, of the Brooks Oil Company. He denied in toto the charge which appears upon page nine of that report.— Mr. Roth denied in the face of Mr. Howland’s assertion that he (Mr. Roth) had ever talked to Mr. Howland at all about the institution. — It was shown that the menu ers of that committee, William D. Foulke, Oliver T. Morton and Lewis Howland, had spent in all their investigation not to exceed five hours; that not over two hours of this time was expended upon examination of the records; that the only records they examined was some correspondence and Superintendent’s r sports and ward reports. It is the deliberate opinion of this committee that the Civil Service Reform Association was not all justified in making the report referred to.

The report of William O. Foley, who was appointed as an expert book keeper appointed by the committee to make a full exam!..ation of papers, books, records and contracts of said institution is filed herewith as a part hereof. It appears from said report that the books and recerds of said institution have been neatly and correetly ke. t; that all the funds of said institution have been accounted for and properly managed ;thatthe board have been economical aad prudent in th»ir administration of affairs, and that the papers pertaining to the busiaess of said Institution are properly filed and presented, and that the books, oapers, co ntracts and records are kept in a workman-like and busi-ness-like manner, that the books and vouchers of said institution balance and agree with|those kept by the Au ditor es State.

Your oemmittee reports that this institution is the noblest charity in this State; that the officers connected with it are gentlemen of good character wbo have used every endeavor, so lar as their means w.il allow, to make thia institution efficient and the pride of the State. Some improvements are necessary These have not been m ide simply because the means placed at the command of tue offi cere of tne Institution have been limited We would suggest ffiai t here ought to be built a l irge laun-

dry; that t’.e Institution ought to be securely fenced, and that a more commodious bakery ought to be built. We do not believe the charge I»true that because said Institution has bees run upon a partisan basis its efficiency has been lowered, and no suggestion has been made to this committee by witnesses who were capable of judging, and whose opinion was call ed for. of a system that would be better than the pi event one. The objections made to the present system are slmp'y that the Institution is used for party advantage. Tois is true only in the sense that Democrats alone are employed there; but there is no evidence befoie this committee that the Democrats employed are inefficient, incapable or dishonest; and we do not think tnc mere fact that the employes are Democrats makes a. y difference in the management or efficiency of the institution. In fact, if the emploves were Democrats and Republicans equally divided there would be more danger of political differences and political discussion leading to the inefficiency >t the attendants than there is now. when all are of one political faith. The charge that the Trustees have procured appointments for political favorites without regard to efficiency is not true. The charge that Senators and Representatives recommended appointments is true, but there is no evidence whatever that these appo ntees were not efficient. In fact, Dr. Fletcher testified that they averaged as well as his own, and that he yfus thankful for recommendations of this kind, because it was impossible from his own personal knowledge to make all the appointments necessary and provide sui able men. In con* elusion your committee finds,

1. T at the material charges male by the Civil Service Reform Assorim. tion of Indiana against the manage* meat of the Indiana Hospital for the Insane, except as to the politics of its officers and employee, are false, and ihat their publication to the world was unjust to that institution and manifestly a cowardly and brutal disregard for the public heart which beats so warmly for her unfortunate wards.

2 That while some of the persons conducting tho allet ed civil service reform investigation may have been de.uded into the belief that It was pro hono publico, yet guided by the hand* of adroit and designing politic clans, they were made a “cat’s paw” for the Republican State Central Committee; and their report, made on the eve of the campaign of 1886, was not founded on truth, bnt was made for part.san and corrupt purposes. 3- That the inmates are supplied with good and wholesome food in abundance. 4. The present management is 08yeciJly characterizedhvith a humane and wise regard for the prrsonal camforts of its patients; orueitv «r the appearance of crueity is not tolerated.

5. The patients, their clothing, beds aud bedding; the w.ards, halls and dining rooms are models or purity and cleanlfness. The sanitary co - ditjon- in general, is of a high order of excellence. 6. The barbarous custom of sub* jecting the inmates to mechanical restraints and brutal punishments have been entirely abandoned. 7. Day schools, Sunday schools, theatrical performances, daily out door drills and exercises, lawn games, training schools, musical entertainments and other means of enploying the minds of patients and putting them under pleasant influences have all been established by the present management. 8. The manage nenthas been prudent, honest and economical. The per capita cost of maiutaing patients for the past year is less than ever before.

9. The charge that cholera hogs have been killed and used for food is maliciously false and wholly unsupported by the testimony o. a single witness. There was some evidence that some few hogs out of a drove of about IbO died, presumably, according to some witnesses, from cholera There was little authentic testimony, however, even tending to support this proposition. The testimony of Superintendent Fletcher, Mr. Hunt, the butcher, Mr. Jamison and others, who cut o.en and exam>» ined the hogs which died, all deny that they were afflicted with 3kiolera. The evidence conclusively shows that there never was a hog suffering from any disease slaughtered for use in the Institution. No one of all the witnesses examined pretends to claim x to the contrary 10. It has been charged that maggoty butter was used in the Institus tion. Thia is a sensational aud malicious lie The evidence shows that in October, 1886, butter containing insects was sent to Wards 1, 2 and 3 of the female department; that so soon as this fact was discovered the butter was removed. The above case is the only instance where such butter has ever been placed upon the table of any of the wards, and this was clearly an oversight, corrected as promptly as discovered. 11. The water supply for domestic and fire purposes, by reoeat change* male by the present Board nt Trustees, is now abuEdMt and of a pure quality. 12. Concerning the charge of bad iron in the boilers, the evidence c*hcltioively shows that the iron was

charcoal hammered No. 1, 55 000 ten eile strength, quality, and fully up to contract: that they are now in use and doing good service and capable of withstanding from three to five times the pressure r quired of them. 13. That the books are perfectly kept, an t the finances of the Institution properly ajeouated for. The Committee desires to say that throughout their arduous labor every opportunity for the closer into the books, papers, contracts, method.- and affairs of rhe Institution has been afWrded them oy the mem* bers of the Board of Trustees, Superintendent Fletcher, Dr. Thomas and other officers, all of whom seem ed especially anxious that the investigation should be thorough, searching and final.

The Institution is, at all times, open to the public; and this Committee joins its officers in requesting thut all persons having an interest in its honest, faithful and humane management visit the smile, that they may see an i know Jor themselves. And to the end that the truth of this report may i e verified we invite the several * Beards of County Commissioners of this State to appoint six reputable citizens of their several counties equally divided in politics, to visit ant examine into the management of aid institution, which persons so selected shall have the power and privileges in making such investigation as may be necessary to a full, true and complete finding, and th<* they shall report the facts back
