WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 29. HON. 8. HEKOERSON. In electing Hon. Eb. Henderson to the office of auditor of state for two consecutive terms the Democratic party of Indiana evidei.ced a discernment in the highest degree creditable, for it selected the right man for the right place. In these days of official malfeasance, when the public mind is experiencing continual unrest, integrity seems to have acquired an importance unknown in the olden time. And it is alike creditable to the Democratic party and to Mr. Henderson that in his administration he has contributed largely to the restoration of public confidence which distinguished the Government during the halcyon days of the past. A man of a thorough business education, of ripe attainments in all matters pertaining to the welfare of the State, familiar with the wants of every section, and with the laws designed to aid in the development of its vast resources, he brought to the office of auditor a legislative experience which, combined with rare executive ability, has made his official career a brilliant success. And in retiring he leaves its affairs in such perfect order and completeness, as evidenc

ed by his reports, that his successor will have no trouble in mastering every detail, end in going forward without embarrass' ment Mr. Henderson, as a politician, is shrewd and far-seeing, readily combines forces, analyzes opposition, estimates accu rately the formidableness of obstacles to be overcome, and is therefore a foeman who commands the respect of opponents. In the prime of his manhood, it is safe to say that the Democratic party of Indiana will have further use for his superior abilities, and that, though now a private citizen, further official honors await him. He retires from office, as have done others who have recently laid aside their official robes, with the assurance that the party which honored him is satisfied with his official career. GENERAL HANSON, THE AUDITOR OF STATE. One by one the standard-bearers of the Democratic party in ths late campaign in Indiana are taking the official positions conferred upon them by the Democratic party. The first to assume control of the office to which he was elected was Attorney General Woollen. Next in order was Secretary of State Shanklm, and to-day General Manson assumes control of the office of auditor of state. General Manson requires no eulogy at our bands. He is known throughout the State, and the better he is known the higher is the esteem in which he is held; for, whether viewed as a soldier leading his command to battle, and bearing his form to the iron hail of the enemy, or in the halls of Congress contending for principles essential to the perpetuity of free institutions, or in the quiet walks of private life, he is found to be the same generous-hearted man. Broad in his views, catholic in his professions, hocest in his opinions, faithful in his friendships and true to every trust, he fills the full measure of a man and a citizen. With a courage that never falters and a fidelity that never swerves, it is not surprising that he fills a large space in the regards of the people of Indiana. Popular in his manners, genial as 8 companion, eloquent in his public addresses, he attaches the people to him and holds them as with hooks of steel. Such is a bare outline of the man who for the next two years, and we may add the next four years, if his useful life is spared, is to bp the Democratic auditor of state. He will fill the bill, and his official acta, no matter how searching the ordeal may be through which they may be called to pass, will demonstrate that in all regards he is "Satis peur ct san rrprcxtche."

MICHIGAN'S SHAME.

Star tl ins. Disclosures Concerning the Asylum for the Insane at Kalamazoo. A Rid American Field for ' Mdextrous Author "Hard Cask" the of AmWoman as a Ministering Angel to Women A Terrible Grass-Widow. "Sever Mind, Dn. Kewley." Port Huron (Mich.) Commercial. The story published below is not intended as a newspaper sensation. It is a plain recital, made and published wholly in the interest of the poor dependent inmates of the Michigan Asylum for the Insane at Kalamazoo. It is from the lips of Mrs. Henry Kewley, of Port Huron, who was an inmate of the asylum for five years, and whose sanity and reliability are fully vouched for by a host of persons. Mrs. Kewley says: I was taken to the asylum about 11 years ago. I was really insane at the time, though I was improving and probably never would have been sent there if my husband had been a loyal, honorable man. I remember that I soon noticed cruel treatment of tne patients in hall No. 15, but I was melancholy and wrapped up in my own troubles, so I took but little notice of it at the time; it did not disturb me much in my then frame of mind, ONE CRUEL FRACTICB the attendants indulged in was that of reaching down and jerking patients' feet from under them. Sometimes the fall occasioned the patient great pain. About fire weeks before I went to the asylum I accidentally ran a needle into my right foot and it re-1 mained there. It often caused me pain, and I was anxious to get rid of it. Some two or three months after entering the asylum I was standing looking out of a window. As I stood there I felt the needle pain me, and the idea occurred to me that perhaps I might be able to forc9 it out, so I rasped my foot against the base or mop-board two or three times, with that object only in my mind. I had not noticed that my clove kid shoes had made marks on the white base board, but one of the attendants a grass widow Lecty Ogden by name had. "What are you doing, Mrs Kewley," she said, and poiuted to the marks on tho wall. For the first time I now observed the marks and stooped a little to examine them, when the attendant quickly jerked my feet from under roe and 1 struck fairly on my bark. The shock almost stunned me and I could not have got up immediately if left alone. But Lecty called her sister, Louise, and at the sarue time threw herself on my chest. The two put on the "leather inuff" to secure my hands, and buckled a heavy belt around my waist, drawing it so tight as to interfere with my breathing. They then assisted me to rise, and, as I ga-ped for breath, they forced me to walk, pulling and dragging me a dis tance of about 40 laet to a bed room, known as Mrs. Headers room, ihe room was known as Mrs, Header's room because she was kept in that room and strapped down to that bench in the day, and olten to the bed at night, for two and a half years. HRB HAND BECAME DEFORMED from the constant restraint. She was finally removed to a more violent hall, and died there. Dr. Hurd, now of the Poatiac asylum, told me that aha did-gain her senses before death. Once in a while daring her suffering in our hall I loosened the belt which confined her hands and let her work the muff off herself. I did not dare be seen touching her. They did not feed her enough, and she often begged me to bring some food from the table. 1 Old eo several times, but was put under the "restraints" and ordered to desist. This was not bv the doctor, but by Mrs. Ogden and Mrs. Csffrcv. The "muff" is something like a lady's muff in shape, but festensthe nandssecurely . Inside that room they fastened me Inas-ttiog posture near the open window. I coulJ move my feet but not my hands or bod v. A mixture of sleet and snow was falling which blew in at the win dow and settled on my shoulders. I was given no breakfast. I saw no one and was given no chance to explain, and I was left there until eight in the evening without food. The snow ou my back, ou the seat be side me, on the lloor at my feet was more than an inch thick when 1 was released. At six Mrs. Ujden came ana onerea mo food. but would not rele&se my hands nor loosen the band around my waist. I objected to eating out of her hand, and said that I could not eat any way unless the belt around my waist was loosened. She refused to do either. I offered to clean the marks from the bateboard if she would release me, but she said she would show them to Dr. Palmer and he would order me kept where I was for a month. I then asked her to lower the window, and she said I deserved what I suffering; she would teach me not to do it again. When she finally did release the belt around my wtus t at 8 p. m., and the rush of blood that ensued caused me to fail to the lloor helpless, she. GBASrED ME BY THE HAIR and dragged me out of the room. She then called her sister, and they proceeded to take off my clothing. Their violent behavior attracted the attention of another patient, Mrs. Blakely, who never appeared insane, and did lots of knitting and sewing. Sue grasped a chair and struck them, saying, "You have frozen and starved her all day, and you must, let her alone; you shan't tantalize her any longer." They then left me, jerked her feet from under her, jumped op her, pulled, mauled and pummeled nntil they had subdued her. They then put on the muff and the restraint beltaround her waist and jerked her into the room. I was too weak to assist her, or I should have done so. She was left in the room and with the restraints on all night. I afterward asked her whether they kept her fastened on the seat all night, but her answer has escaped my memory. Every day the atrocious conduct of the vixenish attendants shocked my nerves. Probahly no day pas?ed in whicu some act of tyranny or brutality was not practiced which should sever be seen in the treatment of criminal?, much less in an asylum tor the insane. It was in tbe fall that I went to the asylum. During the winter a new hall was finished off. and in the spring I was transferred from No. 15 to the new or No. 14 hall. Not many weeks afterward I saw a horrible crime committed. Between 10 and 11 one Boring morning I was sewing cn one aide of the ball. It was chilly, and I was on a bench near the str am coils which ran alongside the wall. Beside me sat a patient, by name Mrs. Hamilton. This lady was very melancholy always, and had a habit of chewing paper as gum. She was doing so that morning, wben an attendant, familiarly known as Miss Emma, but whose surname I forget, noticed her and said, "Mrs. Hamilton, what are you chewing?" "Paper." "Have I not told you not to do that?" (boxing her ears violently. ) , "I don't know as it does any barm, and I will chew it whenever I can get it" (rising and shoving Miss Emma.) The latter jerked Mrs. It's feet from under her, and as she fell herbjod cajug la contact

with the iron steam-coils, making a noise

that seemed to me to sound as loud as the report of a pistol. Mrs. H. gave a shriek of anguish, and any woman deserving of a place among human kind would have had mercy. But Miss Emma , THREW HERSELF OS THE WOMAK'S CHEST and called to another attendant, her sister, to bring the restraints. Mrs. Hamilton struggled so frantically that they desisted from their efforts to put them on, but tbe two ruthlessly dragged her across the hall and dashed her into a bed-room, slamming and locking the door. I bad struggled to maintain my composure, remembering from former experiences that I could do nothing but get into trouble myself. But I was cutting a dress for Mrs. Hamilton, and after she had been in tbe room about 10 minutes I told Miss Emma tbat I wanted to try it on. She answered that she was writing a note, and after sending it down to the office to be mailed she would open it. S'te finished the note, went down stairs with it, and after aoout five minutes came back and opened the door. We both started back with horror at the pitiable sight presented. Mrs. Hamilton had turned tbe bedstead, a small oak frame with nailed hoop Iron slits, on one end, had torn a strip from a sheet and UCKO HER-ELF. She was dead. Miss -Emma pathetically clasped her hands together "U, my Uod. what shall I do?" "Help me to cut her down." said L and I took tbe scissors, which I happened to have in my pocket although contrary to rules and we cut her down and laid tbe body on the mattress. Miss Emma seemed overcome, and so I ran down the hall and called out to Miss Caffroy. who belonged to No. 15 hall, telling her wbathad happened ana to can tne aoctor. Doctors .rainier and Marshall came up immediately. I went into the room, and when they came in, I started to tell what had happened, but was inter rupted by Miss Emma; and Dr. Palmer, with an aggravating shaking of the fingers, said. "Nevermind, Mrs. Kewley, never mind; go to your room." "If you will examine her head, doctor, you will probably nnd her sknll broken," said I, honing to arouse his sensibilities and be directed to tell my story. "Mrs. Kewley is very much excited, Doctor," said Miss Emma. "CO TO TOUR ROOM, MRS. KEWLEY," said Dr. Palmer; "you are excited; go di rectly, or I shall have you taken there and pnt under restraint." I hey led me away, as also all the other patients, and locked us in the dormitory, a large room which was originally intended as a sitting-room. Mrs. H. was carried away tbat night, in accordance with the usual custom, and .buried, or her body sold, I never knew which. Afterward, four or five times, I approached Dr. Palmer and attempted to relate what preceded Mrs. Hamilton's death, but he would say, with a wave of his hand and a shake or working of his lingers: "NEVER MIND, MRS. K EX LEY, be passive, be" passive; we know all about that. Don't disturb yourself. If you ever want to get well, don't brood over these things." And he never allowed me to telt tbe facts. What Miss Emma told him I never knew. But in two years more or afterward I was down in No. 10 hall, cutting out suits (they were .preparing for theatricals), and while at work, in company with the matron, I told her the wbole story. She evidently told the doctor as soon as she met him, and within two or three days I had reason to know it. Occasionally I had been given the privilege of visiting hall No. 10, and I knew many of the patients in that hall. So a day or so after, I saw Dr. Palmer in hall 14, where I belonged, and I went and asked his permission to visit ball No. 10. "I would like very much to permit you to go, Mrs. Kewley, - BUT YOU WILL TALK." "Talk, doctor? Of course I talk; but what do you mean by tbat remark? to what have you made reference?" "Well, the other day you" told the matron about Miss Hamilton, and the patients might have overheard you, and such things are likely to excite them." "Doctor, I told the matron that story because I thought she ought to know it, but no patients could have overheard us, and I know enough not to tell such things to them. It could do no good." He did no-, permit my visit at that time, and after that he was very strict with me; never let me go out alone; rarely allowed me to go to the entertainments, and never as I then reasoned if a large attendance of townspeople was expected, for fear I would get a chance to talk to people I knew. If by chance I talked with an outsider he would always come and sit near me and listen. He would permit me no liberty. I was not allowed to go to the laundry, as I bad previously done. I n.ed to go one afternoon previous to that and assist at the laundry. I was not given tbe letters written to me by my daughter Fannie, neither were the letters I wrote sent home to her, except some written on scraps which I smuggled out through tbe gentle hearted lady who managed the laundry. By agreement, I sent KOTES WRITTEN OS STRAY 8CRAP3 OF PAPER and fly leaves torn from the books allowed me, in my bundle of clothes to her, and she forwarded them. One of tbe attendants told me confidentially tbat if I wanted my letters to reach the outside world I must praise up the manner of my treatment. I must lie if I would be heard. So I wrote on the white margin of newspapers or on such scrapi of paper as I could get. Occasionally I ued to go to the library, get a book to read, and then tear out the blank sheets in the front or back and write on them. These sheets and scraps reached my daughter. The absence of letters written on ordinary paper and sent in the ordinary way, which she expected in answer to her own which never reached me, had made my daughter anxious, and when she received these scraps so strangely irregular she becsme very suspicious of the asylum, and determined to come and see me. She came, was met by Dr. Palmer, who, she has since told me, treated her politely, but told ber that I was very excitable and that she must not see me; that if he allowed it I would not get over the effects of it for months. She pleaded so hard to see me, asking him to let her see me, even at a distance, that he finally told ber that he would let her see me upon one condition that she should take me right back home with ber. THE SECRET OF THIS DODGE lay in the fact that my daughter had written to the institution about once a month, and among other news which she had requested them to tell her mother was the news that the family at home had broken np housekeeping, etc., which, of course, made it plain to the doctor that it would be very inconvenient, if not impossible, for her to see her mother on the condition laid down. Not one word of tbe news sent in ber letters was ever told me by the doctors or by their orders. I only learned through John Haslet t tbat my daughter had been to see me. He said that sQe took the disappointment so much to heart that he felt like crying over her misery, and loneed to tell her my situstion, but Dr. Puluier watched every word and he had no chance. And yet at tho very time of ber visit I was as sane and strong as I am now, as I was aiso when Dr. Pace was turned away on tbe same pretext. A TRAGIC INCIDENT occurred in the fourth year of my stay. Mrs. Rittell was a patient who had bad, melancholy spells, but no violent ones. She used to wash dishes, mop the floors, aweep and make beds. She had long auburn hair tbat reached nearly to her feet. One day Miss Lemon, one of the crnelest women I ever saw, told Dr. Palmer (I heard her) that the woman's bair smelted musty, and asked leave to cut it off. It was given after soma remark tbat it "seemed too bad." Bat Mrs.

Rittell objected and resisted desperately, but three of tDem, Miss Lemon, Miss Welch and another, after putting the mnff on her hands

threw her on the lloor, and struggling with ber. pounding, choking, cutting and slashing, managed to get it off. I do not know whether they sold it or not. It was a popular color and beautiful hair. DuriDg tbe struggle poor Mrs. Rittell was bruised blai k and blue, her face and neck swollen and distorted. They wonld hold her nose and strangle her; they would raise up and SLAM EES HEAD DOWN AGAI56T THE FLOOR. . Becoming almost frenzied on witnessing the sufferings of the unfortunate woman, I seized a chair and threatened to strike if they did not stop. Bat I dared not strike, and one of them came and shoved me out of tns room and shut the door. Wben they got done tbe poor woman was reduced to idiocy, and I believe never improved. I saw her clasp her bands before ber face in an attitude of supplication, and say: "Please, God, let me die. "Please, God, let me die." She was a Catholic, and previous to this used to pray and sing in the night quite loud. This annoyed Miss Lemon, and I have peen ber come into tbe room (there were four beds in the room) and choke her to stop her. Sometimes she would throw the quilt over ber head and smother ber to stop her. Often she would bite Mrs. Rittell's hands UDtil the blood would run. I have examined them in the morning and seen tbe marks. After the cruel hair-cutting experience I only saw Mrs. Rittell for two or three weeks, during which time she did not know anything. They had made her ten times as insane as before. I supposed that she bad died, for one night I heaid them come to her door and carry her away, just as they always did those who died of disease or were killed, and I saw her no more. On asking about ber the next morning, I was told by Miss Lemon that her broi her had come aud got her and taken her to Detroit. I then thought, and thick now, that she died, and tbat her death was entirely due to the horrible treatment she nnd an dergone, for she ai constantly sick and vomiting after it, and never did aDy work again in the asylum. RETRIBUTION. One victim of Mls Lemon's cruelty. whose name I forget, was in tbe habit of siogiDg at night, and Miss Lemon would choke and abus? her. She told me of this abuse. Once when Miss Lemon was chok ing her, she bit the end of the middle finger on that lady ring band. A few days alter erysipelas set in and tbe finger had to be amputated at the end joint. The poison followed np and an amputation took place at the second joint. Even this did not save her, for erysipelas followed into her hand. which got spotted, purple and black, and ber arm and hand swelled up terribly. She bad to go to Ann Arbor, and the finger was taken out up to her wrist. Her punishmant was great, hut l think not greater than herdeeus merited. Once she saw me watching her motion" tor i aid watch her as 1 would a snake, She wanted reveDge, for ehe feared and hated me, so she picked up a large new Bible which lay on a hot air Hue in the wall and threw it out of the window. Tbiswas about the time of the morning visit of Dr. Palmer. She went down and got the Bible, wet. wracked and ruined, and told the doctor that I threw that book out of the window. I told him tbat did not: that ebe did. He said, "Oh, no Miss Lemon wouldn't do that." He ordered the restraints put on me, and they were kept on two or tnree cays. ANOTHER TRAGEDY. One custom in the asylum was that of car rying the medicine to the patients and forcing unwilling ones to drink it. This was natural enough, but it led to this tragedy: I was folding clothes in the hall near the room of one of the patients who aiwavs objected to the medicine. This night Miss Lemon. Miss Caffrey and Miss Welch were together. Miss Lemon was in haste, it seems, and was in tending to go down town. When the woman refused, she and assistants threw her on her back, put a wedge between ber teeth, held her nose and poured her medicine into her mouth. She strangled and expired. I heard the words, "I believe she's deatfTsay nothing' about it till morning." I never saw her afterward ; and I heard the usual heavy tread of tbe pall bearers the next night. The death of a patient was never told to other patients. I can not pretend to tell the half of the I inhumanity tbat was practiced on the stricken inmates of the Michigan Asylum for the Insane during the five years of my incarceri ation. The history would fill a volume, and would startle proud and intelligent Michigan from her reverie about peace and progress and charity and prosperity which our good governor seems to feel pervades the State. I do not know what CRIMES AND WRONGS' are hidden in tbe secret histories of the other halls. My experience only gave me a knowledge of three or four halls. No. 1 2 hall must have been even worse than any I knew about. Often I could hear cries for mercy, "O do stop beating me;" "Do not kill me;" "Stop mauling me." with shrieks aad cries that made my hair stand on end. But I do protest against the asylum remaining under Dr. Palmer. I beg, I implore tbe governor and legislature to relieve tbe poor inmates from his charge. I demand it in the sacred name of helplesi and afilicted humanity. I plead in the name of womanhood; in the name of manhood; for the sake of Christianity and civilization, that steps be taken to prove or disprove my story.
