That Doctors Law.
WICHITA, April %, 1879

Ed. EAGLE:-In Your last issue of
April oath, assuming to answer my COM
munication as touching the medical bill,
you say you do not propose ODE forced
into discussion about the matter, as it
is entirely out of your line of business.
Allow me TO say, by way of preface,
that have not the least desire to draw
You out in & discussion of this charac-
ter, bat as you have undertaken TO rec
tify a few mistakes, which you say
have made, / beg liberty to reply. The
circular referred to. (Which You state
you never saw, and yet it bears the inn
print of your Office, you declare asserts
the exact facts but slight difference
exists in the reading of said circular, by
your adding the letter after school,
which very much modifies the assertion
made by the president Of said associa-
ton. do not deny that the allopaths
did secure the passage of the law, and
ostensibly for the protection of the peo-
pie against quacks. The law is good
one, and we only wish it understood
that the different schools are recognized
and have the same privileges under the
law.
You seem TO think that the people
will soon learn to discriminate as to the
value Of those certificates, not only
from the character and standing of the
different boards. bat from the character
Of the certificates themselves. In this
you think the peoples power of dis
elimination Is good and will still be
growing better, but before this law was
enacted they were moi competent to dis
criminate between an educated physi-
clan or quack, and needed the protec-
ton of the law. Has the people, them
selves, ever demanded such protection!

of medicine who have Rade'this demand

different schools of practice are, as a
rule, unknown by the people. That is

the suceees the physician has, and by
other methods; as | have described
above.

ORGANIZE.

The following remarks on organi-
cation we take from the Point Pleas.
ant Register, and commend them to
the careful consideration Of our Dem
ocratic readers. although the cleo
tion is a year off in this State, yet
we advise the Democrats to begin
now to perfect their organization, par
ticularly in this county. To make a
party successful there should be a
thorough organization, and at all
times a unity of action and feeling
among it's members. When the con-
test comes there should be no antag-
onism among the leaders, and to avoid
this there should be a pleasant riva.-
nv in the selection of candidates TO
place upon their ticket. If conven-
tions are conducted in this spirit there
will be no trouble in conciliating all
sides. Where q party is based upon
certain stable and well grounded prin-
ciples, the members of that party
fight for those principles, and there
can be no compromise except between
parties holding antagonistic views
Compromise means mutual conces-
sions on the part of opposing ele-
ments, holding diverse principles
Consequently if we are Democrats
from principle, and are unit on
those principles, then there is nothing
to compromise.
If we come to consider the offices
to be given out, then we concede that
there is necessity for Cancellation, if
we desire harmony in the party and
success at the polls. Because few
men may be able to manipulate con-
ventions, it is no just reason for them
to select their personal friends for all
the offices in the gift of the people.
If such course should be pursued,
there would be fair grounds to count
on certain defeat, for the party would
then lose the aid and assistance of
good and valuable leaders, who would
likely say, "You have nominated your
friends; now elect them" Any one
can now see how injurious such a
course would be to the party.

H RAILROAD.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Con-
pany having secured control of the
road bed of the western end OF the
Brownsville and New Haven railroad,
from Brownsville to Vance's Mill, it
is proposed that when the Pittsburgh,
Virginia and Charleston Railroad
reaches Brownsville, to lay the rails
to Vance's Mill and then connect with
the South West Pa. Railway at or
near Uniontown. They will then push
on the work from Oliphant to the
Monongahela, thence to Morgantown.
The reasons for taking this route in
stead of going on up the river from
Brownsville are that the distance will
be no greater on account of the great
bend in the river;) the Vance's Mill
route is nearly all graded, and more
over strikes more coal and ore; it al
lows of shorter outlet to the east
from Western Virginia.-Genius Of
Liberty.

LAST year an effort was made here

LAST year an effort was made here
to pay the Methodist minister's sal
airy in monthly instruments. The
plan was decided improvement over
the old way, but still it left a large
amount to be raised at the end of the
year. For this year the payments
will be made weekly, each person
being furnished with 80 small envel-
opes, one for each Sabbath, in which
the weekly amount is to be put and
deposited in the basket. If this plan
is adhered to it will certainly be bet
ter than anything yet tried and will
obviate the Notifying necessity of
calling upon the public congregation
for large deficit at the close Of each
wear. This deficit has in the past
been paid by very few Of the best
members and is was simply an i'm
position that they had it to do. There
is no one SO poor that they cannot
give at least 5 cents each week. That

The Cremator Cremated.

DR.. F. J. LeMoyn, the cremationist,
died at his residence in Washington,
Pa, Tuesday Of last week, in the Slst
year of his age He was a firm adj
vocate of the theory of cremation,
and, in order to carry out his ideas
and introduce his theory Of dispos-
ing of the dead, built q retort at
Washington, for that purpose, in
which some three or four bodies were
cremated, with results satisfactory to
the Doctor, but to the general disgust
of the public. In order to carry out
his wish, his body was cremated in
his own furnace, Thursday. With
him, no doubt, dies the theory Of Gre
nation, as well it ought.
The body of DIR. LeMoyn was lit
tie over tire hours undergoing incin-
Grafton. The furnace was heated hot
ter than ever before.

During the month of September
last, fifteen thousand eight hundred
and fifty two immigrants arrived at
New York City, and during the year
which ended September 30th the to-
tai number was one hundred and fif-
teen thousand four hundred and four,
an increase of nearly forty thousand
over the corresponding period year
ago, From this statement it seems
the tide of immigration is gradually
increasing with each passing month.

The Post>ofice Department is max
ing some lively times lately. In his
war on the lottery companies, and re-
fusal to deliver mail to them, the Post
master General will be sustained by
public sentiment; but in one of his late
orders about imperfectly addressed let
tiers, Deacon Key has raised a very
large sized hornets nest about his earf.
Under this order all postmasters are
forbidden to forward letters not adj
dressed to the exact designation of the
post office and State for which they
are intended. A letter addressed to a
certain number and street, New York
city. or to Boston or Chicago, will not
be forw arded, but must be returned to
the dead>letter office, or to the writer,
if he is known. The postal clerks
know that Chicago is in Illinois; but
Mr.. Key thinks 1t is better that they
should assume not to know anything
about it, and that the writer should be
punished for emitting to PIT the State
on his direction. Heretofore letters so
addressed that the destination was well
understood have been sent along, but
hereafter postmasters and clerks are to
be just as ignorant as they can. The
Post-office Department is maintained
for the convenience of the people, but
Mr.. Key thinks ii is simply kept up for
himself and employees to draw their
salaries. II used TO be the pride of the
Department that even badly or imper-
fectIy addressed letters promptly found
their destination, Now the P. NJ. G.
fiatters himself that it takes pretty
smart man to so address a letter that
the authorities can not find some ex-
cuse for sending il to the deadsletter
office.

Their success in Ohio will prove the
rock upon which Republican hopes
touching the Presidency will founder.
Their beginning this early to exult in
in solid Republican North, will dis
gust those OF their tiers who have
hearts, between this and 1880, and
send them bodily over to the party
which does not seek power by fostering
sectional and race hatreds,
