THE DOCTORS FOLIIRs AND A
CASE IN POINT.


A doctor has saved woman's eyes in a
neighboring town by operating, and sue
cessfully, for cataract. We would give his
name but the doctors convention, which
sits here to-day, would raise the very
-. about it. It's disgraceful for "regu-
lar doctor" to let the public know that he
is master Of his art. Quacks fill the land
with certificates and labels and placards, and
the wise doctors see the people drugged,
and ignorance Outstnpping them in fame
and in money getting, and their profession
is constantly losing caste because there is
and can be, under existing codes of medi-
cal ethics, no sympathy between the press
and physicians. As a profession they ig-
more and condemn the press, and the press
is hardly more kind to "pill peddlers. I"
They are the losers in every case, as illus
trated even now in the case of the surgeon
whose light, however brilliant, Is hidden
beneath a very small half bushel Some
years ago when che present code Of medical
ethics was adopted the press was IN its swad-
ding clothes. It had neither money nor
power nor universally of influence. Even
the politicians and stump speakers were then
its masters. Then the doctors were stronger
than the press; but now, since both profes-
siOns have grown in intelligence, in influ-
ence, in responsibility and in attainments
that old code, which ostracises newspaper
power, should be rescinded and the regular
profession, instead of the patent medicine
vendors, should ally itself with the news
papers Of the country. The press has moth
ing to gain by It; but the profession every
thing. II pays most TO sell drugs for Aver
and Bull and fOr other doctors who arc not
doctors, but the necessities of society and
OfSthe medical profession demand that its
educated members should have access to
thOse agencies Of professional power and
usefulness, without which most respects
bic class Of men, of rare attainments and
personal worth, can never be known or
properly valaed. Lawyers win all social
and political and personal hOnoFs, while
the doctors 60 into voluntary exile and

obscurity, while their usefulness Is equally

o. the Governor and Of the Legislature and
other great questions that involve the *.
istence Of the State. Either have no Leg
ialature, or leave it free to dispose Of facts
and necessities affecting the chanQefuI in
tercsts and aspirations and fortunes Of ever
progressive communities. Do not practi-
caly disfranchise the Legislature. What
ever is made constitutional law is final and
deemed irrepcalable, and to the very extent
that trainers Of organic law descend into the
sphere Of lawgivers, they restrict popular
freedom and create a despotism. Their
business is, on the contrary, to create a sim
pie, pure republic. As to other matters
than this, discussed by Mr.. johnson sue
cessiye generations Of Texans will be ouite
as wise as himself and his constituents. and
very certainly will not long endure restric.

Mr. johnson would have the convention
substituted as permanent institution for
biennial legislatures. If this be his pur.
pose his speech is a very proper one and
not otherwise. OHs' A1u

AAcoSPrS county, illinois, has a court
house worth and actually costing 500. 600
But AacOnpin county fell into the hands Of
the Philistines, and the people now owe
5000, 600 for that court house. The cir
cult court orders the county to pay, but the
county refuses, and the spectators and
thieves demand the pound Of flesh. There
IS no mercy shown taxpayers. Property in
the county, because of this indebtedness is
iessened IN value; taxpayers fall in arrears,
and the thieves in Office curse the default
ing taxpayers, " and thus are illustrated the
beauties Of rabbIe-ruled corporations even
in the blessed Northern States. Infinitely
worse is it here where there is a specially
elected and chosen and colored mob in
vested with suffrage solely for the purpose,
under the present Constitution of Texas. of
rObbiDg towns and counties, and making
property yalueless.

The Legislature did not make sheriffs
and administrators advertise in the lao-----
aud wTuowz-and orphans and debtors are
still ruthlessly plundered and remorselessly
robbed. Dirty notices that nobody can
read are pasted to trees, barn doors and
jails, and thieves sneak around and deci-
Pher the horrible scrawls and speculate in
the woes and losses Of the poor imposed
by Legislative demagogism. The law, as it
is, was made that the dear people might
think that their brave representatives didn't
care copper for the press, and only sought
to save the money Of the poor and unfor-
tunste. But the little game has utterly
failed of its purpose, and the law as it ex-
lists is as infamous and unfortunate in oper-
alton as corrupt in its origin.

THE WAR WITH mRXICO-uOVv m

Grant VIII appropriate a wide district Of
Mexico. It will divert public attention
from the Arkansas drunken fiasco, and
from the stupidities and crimes Of that
empty-pated rough, Phil Sheridan. Amer
leans have a weakness for land-stealino
and Mexico is helpless. Lerdo does His
utmost, but knaves and thieves on the bor-
der are irrepressible, and Mexico must
pay for it, and Grant will win a deal Of
fame. The woes of Louisiana and Arkap-
sas viii be forgotten in the cleaning of
the silver mines of Mexico, and the Ameri-
can people, if war and easy victory ensue.

done the helpless and weak and impover-
ished government of Mexico. Senators are
already en- route to that country. They are
advised Of what is coming, and may make
investments in coffee and sugar and silver,
and the States and towns in which this
property is bought will be annexed, and
the property escape the operation of our
blessed tariff laws. It would be fearful
commentary on the morals of American
statesmen If Grant have furnished
them government steamer with which
to practice magnificent scheme Of
smuggling, such as was planned when
Grant went for" San Domingo. In
the meantime the white fellows, thieves
and outlaws who play the part of Indians
and Of Mexican highwaymen along the Rio
Grende will also ''play trumps." They
are ''proving up" endless claims for robber-
