( ) The people ' of the state can llttlri Imagine thehcrious Ktralts the Home for the rrlendlcts ban IK en put to by reason of the most peculiar manipulations of the * ham reformers. Klnc-o the Sth of July , 1M > 7. the Initltiitlon lias not received a cent ftom the slate ap propriation made by the lctlr.ituiu for Its upport , and thu policy of starvation adopted by the state ofllclals lias reduced 1lir Homo to a really destitute state The pliickj vomen of the 'o icty arc still 1 holding the fort , ' but the attendance of the liiBtltuilou has dwindled from 175 down to llfty. and these- helpless Inmates , alonp with thi' cmplojcs of the Home , are on purb short rations that their condition would brlni ; pity to the heart of any person except reform ofnclalb , who are now known to have no pity. The Ileo reporter visited the Homo to day and went throiiRh every department f om collar to KJi'ret and Inspected every tine of the little- children and aged women that the state hotwo reformers arc starving to tnal < n thp "pel capita" figures eniiio out light. The main building wa- ! first vlsittd , as It In hero that the Inmateb are now all bunched together with the exception of the Ilttlo babies u' ' the nurscrv. In tlio main building there have been no upalrs for 'wo ' or throeuyears and the proputy \ getting In very bad shape. The steam pipes and vmter pipes are defective , the luie floors aie broken In places , the plastering Is fall ing oft In some of the rooms and man } of the 'vludow panes are broken , t > o that the chill autumn wind finds ita way Into every part of the building. There IR a need of repairs overvwhero and unless , some thing Is done the building will nut be lit for habita tion during the cold weather. Tin matron CYpTaliied that this condition ot affairs w m unavoidable , as everv cent tlir- society has been able to get during the lost eighteen months has been used In puivtiasing the bare necessities of lit" .

The grecnhouiip , which was one of the pleawnt fe-aturiH of the place ? In thi > past , btis also goue to dccaj Many of tin' panes of glass arc broken and thi steam pipes are In Aiich Blmpc that no hca can bo sent Into the building. Lait night the oOi'urs of the Home leall/ed that thcie would be , i bard freeze and they covered up the plant nnd flowe-B with such old rarpctn and rag's as thov cou'd spare for the purpose , but the frost wrought sad havoc with the pfant. , FO that a greater part ot them are ruined. In the nuiseiy there- were nineteen little ones , their ages ranging from u year and a Jialf to flvo years. At " o'clock today , when the visit was made- , there were ten of these little ones nslcep In their crlln. all uncon scious of thi ) fact that the state is In "re form" bands , and that vast amounts of money were being saved by thc > only honest men who ever Inhabited the state houso. In waiting hours It is probable that the chil dren have a realization that there Is some thing happening tomewhere In which they have no part , and they may imagine nt times that the wind coming through the broken panes la a little more chilly than ,1U IB In tho. carclilllv appointed .private offices of Porter of Mori lek and Uncle Jake , but they niako no complaint. Amonti those asleen In the cribs is one llttln colored child , sold to bo the brightest In the Institution. Two Ilttlo twins lay near by , so much nllko that even the nurses have hard work to tell which Is which The Hlory Is told that a year ngo a man c.amo up the walk to the homo carrying a Ilttlo ono under cqch arm nnd told of the death of the mother and of the homeless and help less condition of the two Ilttlo babies. In his hour of trouble ho had turned to thu homo as the best refuge for his Ilttlo ones , nnd the small sum that he Is nblo to pay every month helps to support them. These two , as well as all others In the mil scry , are In good health , and the cases of sick ness hnvo luckily been scarce since the- tlego began , as the saving policy of the re formers precludes the pajmcnt of doctoi bills. The nursery Is In a wooden building , heated by a stove , und u little colder weather rill drive the Inmates to the main building There .ho others are now hovering togethei f The society 1'as no money to buy coal with and the little that Is on hand has been deBated - Bated during the last three days. \Vhat tliu < lillilri-n Ciui Imm. The school building and boys' dormitory are entirely deserted , Ono of the worst fea tures of the siege is that no teachers can be employed and the childien get only the Instruction that can bo given them by the nurses and overworked aud unsalailed o Ul cers while they rest. There Is ono room containing the blackboards , booKs and Ilttlo desks for llfty puplK but the dust has settled down upon everything there where a child's voice has not been lie.ml for .1 jear past. Near by Is the chapel which Is not utetl aud In another part of the building i Is the Kindergarten room v Ith its materials for the Instruction of llttln ones , but no teacher baa licen cmplo > cd for a jear nnd I the room Is closed up. 'rne friendless children ; dren can get their Instruction now bv climblnK to the upper floor of the main building. There they can look across to the ntate house where Undo Jake sits nnd brags how he Is "standing up for the children o ' ! Nebraska. " Looking a little further west they can see the dome of -courthouse , under which sits the county treasurer won dering when the h > pocrltic.al old fraud will get around to pay the ta\es that luvn been past due for twenty-throe years. The chil dren are at perfect llbcity to look at these two , buildings and wonder about the * tall domes that biirmoun * them , us the \lowlnq i of things with their > outhful crs In ru CNpenso to thc > ta\pa > ers and the "per capita expense" of the state Institutions Vreps right on being reduced.
