One Of the most important things
done by the National Medical Associa-
ton, during its recent annual session,
was to increase the time for a regular
course of medical study from two to
three years, with the double object of
raising the standard of medical pro-
ficiency, and reducing the number of
doctors annually turned out To make a
living in some way off the public.
At present there is no limit to the
aggregation of medical colleges, or the
number of medical students, save incli-
nation and the time necessary in order
to obtain a diploma; and the conse-
quence is that the country is already
flooded with incompetent, incapable,
inexperienced doctors, who live from
hand to mouth, who realize no higher
obligation than pOcketing their fees.
and whose actual interest it is to keep
people sick instead of making them
well. If the science of therapeutics has
made any progress, it is in teaching
physicians how little they know; how
very uncertain all remedies are that are
not in accordance with Nature, and its
fixed, inevitable laws. If they have
learned anything, it is that there are no
such things As special drugs for the cure
of special diseases; but that when the
body. or any part of it, has become dis
ordered, Nature itself can do more than
any doctor toward its restoration, and
that the most that can be done is to
make the conditions favorable for a
cure, and no. put any obstacle in the
way. through our ignorance or previous
habits.
What patients usually demand of
physicians is that they shall be cured of
certain symptoms. The doctor, there
fore, attacks the symptoms, and often
succeeds in changing their character;
but this does not always cure the dis
ease; on the contrary, it is not unfre-
quently the cause of its assuming a
more dangerous form. Time and pa
tience are required to cure disease that
has assumed so decided a shape as to
exhibit marked symptoms; for it may
work a long time in secret before this
occurs. So when doctor or a drug
Processes TO cure disease in this touch
and-go fashion, it is safe to set them
down as frauds, and the chances are
greater without their help or interfer-
ence.
The tendencies of the race are toward
health; there. is twenty-five per cent.
less of sickness now than formerly, con-
'idering the increase of population; and
i the more doctors we have the more
healthy we become, we shall not feel
Inclined to quarrel with them; but
we have strong suspicion that it is in
spite of them rather than by their help,

For use in telegraphy, aluminium is
found to possess double the conducting
power of iron, and it can be made into
extremely thin wires. The high price
of the metal and the difficulty of large
production are. of course. great OBJ.
stacles in the way. But, as appears
from the technical journals, it can at
least be produced in quantities suiii-
Gent to give an alloy with iron suit
able for use as telegraph wire,
thinner and better conducting than the
ordinary wire. The light weight OF
such wire gives it special value for
certain purposes. With regard to the
production of aluminium in quantity
sufficient for the purpose, it is thought
that the tolerably abundant chrysolite
found in Greenland might furnish the
raw material, and a reduction of it il

iron or zinc ore, would perhaps be
practicable.

There is trouble in the mining re-
gions of Perry county. The colored
miners are willing to work, and the
white strikers are opposed. The af-
fair assumed such serious features
that the Sheriff ASKED for troops, to
protect life and property. The troops
we're provided. On Sunday the
striking miners made an attack upon
the soldiers and miners. The troops
opened fire, and many were wounded,
no-e seriously. The miners then re-
treated to the woods. More troops
were sent, and on Monday the situa-
tion was more peaceful.

Major Nash to Leave Us.

From the Cheyenne Daily Sun.
By direction of the secretary of
war Major w. H. Nash, of Camp
Carlin, is ordered to proceed TO Bos-
ton, Mass, and relieve Major Nc
Clure in the duties of purchasing
and depot commissary. Maj. Nash
will leave here in about two weeks,
when his successor, Captain Elder
kin, of Yankton, is expected.
During the four years and half
that the Major has been static ned at
Camp Carlin, his peculiar duties
have brought him into general bus
mess relations with our people, and
we venture to say that none have
had dealings with the gentleman
who have not felt assured of his in
tegrity and fairness and pleased with
the uniform courtesy shown them.
He was one of the first commissary
officers to discover the superiority Of
western -four, and to purchase it.
Now all the -four used in this de-
partment is the product of Colorado,
and most of the hard bread also.
By this change the Government OBJ
tanned better article without addi-
tional cost. In other matters the
Major has been able to serve the
Government and the west, one of
which was in calling the attention of
eastern capitalists to our grazing
fields. The government was bene-
fitted, inasmuch as beef can now be
purchased at less cost.
The Major has taken live interest
in his official duties, just as If there
was q work for him to do, and he
resigns the trust with some reluc-
tance. He says that he never spent
a pleasanter four years at any post
than at Camp Carlin, and although
assigned to the "Hub" he regrets,
on many accounts, the change.
On the part of our citizens we are
fully warranted in saying that the
departure Of Major Nash will be wit
messed with universal displeasure.
He has won our respect as an officer,
our esteem as q man, and in the
social circle he and his estimable
lady will leave void, not soon to be
filed.

1t is q common boast with Demo
Gratis that as many Democrats as Re-
pubhcans went forth to battle for the
Union. This is q question easily
settled. The vote Of the soldiers in
the field, for president, in 1854, will
do 1t. The candidates we're Lincoln
and Mcclellan. The vote of the
Ohio soldiers stood as follows: Lin
coin 4l,646; Mcclellan 1874. The
soldiers from Gallia county returned
the following vote: Lincoln GIT; Nc
Clellan 145. The truth is, that
"forcible compact" was, in very gen.
eral sense, the work of Republican
soldiers.

Tho Republican meetings held through
ont the county last Saturday evening
we're grand successes.
The attesdanse was large and enthu-
siastic 1t every point.
The meeting At lincoln school house
in Harrison township, addressed By W.
3. Matthews wss too large for the house,
which necessitsted an outdoor meeting,
A good band OF martial music helped to
enliven the crowd. After the speech a
Garfield and Arthur club was organized,
by the election Of Vim. Markins Pres,
MAJ. John. Leaper Vice-Pres.. Chas. ".
Clark Sec'y and Leroy Dickey Treas.
The meeting adjourned to meet at the
Harrison townhouse on next Saturday
evening, Sept. the s5th. The meeting
at Yellowtown addressed by C. W. Bird,
Esq, aud G. J. Switzer, Esq, was q
ronsing good meeting. The house, the
windows and the door-yard was full.
About fifty ladies were present. Both
gentlemen made good speeches, and the
crowd went TO their homes well pleased,
and determined to roll up good major
ity In old Clay for Garfield and Arthur.
At the Willow School House 10 Hunt
ington township, the meeting was too
large to be accommodated in the school
room, and they had to adjourn to the
large church building near by, which
was still Inadequate to accommodate the
people. There was large presence Of
ladies, which always Indicates Republic
can success. The meeting was address
ed by D. W. Jones, Esq, DR.. w. w.
Mills and Capt. B. Martin. Quite q
number Of additional names were OBJ
tanned to the Huntington township GAR
field and Arthur Club. The boys were
out with their band, which added enthu-
siasm to the occasion. Old Huntington
has never faltered in her duty since the
organization of the Republican party and
now as In the past will stand true to the
colors, with the chances of an Increased
majority. The report that the Hunting
ton Republicans are going TO scratch the
ticket this fall Ia all buncombe. They
are not made of that kind of stuff.
The meeting at Kygerville far exceed
ed the expectations of the most sanguine.
There were over three hundred persons
present. The meeting was opened by
w. H.C. Ecker, Esq, and Hon. John
W. Mccormick, and closed by q string
enthusiastic speech by John s. Giles,
Esq, o.. Pomeroy, Republican nominee
for Member of the State Board of Equal
ization. Mr.. Giles took for his text the
first resolution of the Democratic plat
form, wherein they pledge themselves
anew to the doctrines and traditions of
the Democratic party, as illustrated by
the teachings and example of long line
Of Democratic statesmen and patriots. |
He exposed the nature and character of
these traditional doctrines and teach
ings and showed the injuries they have
done to the country In the past, and the
ruin they would bring upon the country |
in the future il the Democratic party |
should obtain control of the govern
ment. The Porter Cornet Band was
present and furnished excellent music |
for the OCCASION; also good band Of
martial music. Cheshire township and |
precinct will walk up with their usual
majority.
