Honor to Whom Honor is Due.

A very suitable thing was the placing in
the Reception Room at the Maine General
Hospital of the portrait of DR.. J. T. Gilman,
whose zeal and devotion have done so much
for the establishment and success of this be-
nefcent institution. The picture is life
size head photographed by Lamson and fin
ished in crayon by Lennon. 1t is an ad-
mirable portrait, giving with striking fidelity
the Doctors strong, kindly face, and the
steady, penetrating eyes with which he
seems to look through patient to discover
the inmost secret of his malady. Hundreds
will remember with pleasure and gratitude
this look of discovery, the corroborative
questionings and the subsequent wholesome
counsel and medication. DR.. Gilman has
crowned by his untiring work for the cause
Of humanity as represented by the Hospital,
a long, useful and good life. 1t may be said
without risk of cavil that to him more than
to any other man is due the existence of
this most helpful means of alleviating the
sufferings of poor humanity.
The thought of how much we owe Dr.
Gilman in this respect calls to mind others
whose unselfsh service we do not, perhaps,
always fully appreciate. We refer to the
physicians and surgeons whose time and
talent is give to the Hospital without mon
ey and without price. The gentlemen COM
posing the medical and surgical staffs are
the most eminent and successful of our pro-
fessional men whose regulations, attained
in private practice, do not need the support
of Hospital work. Yet they give much of
their valuable time, frequently amounting
to two or three of the best hours of the day,
to the charitable and humane task of caring
for patients in the Hospital. 1t must be
that there is something in the medical pro-
fession which disposes the more worthy Of
its practitioners to afford gratuitous help in
cases of need, for we should hardly expect
gentlemen Of other professions to devote
time and labor day by day and year by year
to general charitable work. There is some
thing more exacting in this constant giving
of personal service, than there is in money
contributions for humane purposes, or the
occasional attendance upon the meetings of
some charitable association, good and praise
worthy as these objects are. But these ply
sicians sacrifice their own ease and comfort
to the good Of others and add largely to the
sufficiently trying labors of a profession
which draws greatly on the nervous and
vital forces. Solet us give praise and honor
TO these unselfish men who are always doing
so much for others and whose ability and
devotion have raised the reputation of the
Hospital to its present high standard.

The Presidents Condition

The bulletins bring nothing but good
news from che Presidents bedside. Every
day S me improvement is noted in his con-
dition. He has now no fever, his appetite
is good and growing better, his wound is
healing and he begins to take an interest IN
public affairs. All these are hopeful signs
and point to recovery. The physicians,
cautious men. knowing that unforeseen ac-
cidents may occur, do not yet pronounce
him out of danger, but their conversation
indicates that they consider the probabili-
ties all in favor of his complete restoration.

BRAp1.Auon presented himself at the desk
Of tile Speaker Of ths House Ut Commons
yesterday and offered to take tho customary
oath. Objection was at once raised by the
Tories, mud Dsadlangh wRs obliged to With
draw to tho bar OF the House. Mr. Labou-
chere, who champions BraalauKll's causo will,
characteristic zeal and courage, then asked
AIr. Gladstone whether the Government
would give l,im my facilities for pushing
his bill providing for the substitution Of all
affirmation for MI oatl in ti,a case of those
persons who are elected to Parliament aud
who have conscientious scruplcs agafnst
making oath, aid l,e added that If facilities
were granted Mr. Brndlaueh would not
press Ills claim to Ills seat pending tic dis
cussfou Of the b1l. Mr.. Gladstone replied
that he could not well give the desired fuc!ll-
ties, owing to the urgent character Of
tho Irish Land bill. but afterwards
modified his statement by saying TINT
he would permit the bill to bo dis
cusscd at ,nusntng sitttnRs Of the
| Commons. This seemed to satisfy Mr..
Labouctcre and Mr. Rylands, another Ut
BralIaugl,s champions. It Is probable,
therefore, that the nolsy atheist will subslde
for while. The success Of Laboncllero's
Oaths bill, however, seems very doubtful.
1t will be stubbornly resisted BY all the
Tories and some Wtigs In the Commons,
and it Is more than likely that It vii! be
thrown out by the Lords. The Government
can hardly afford to make 1t party measure,
as such course would certainly lnure to the
advantage Of tbs Tories. who haye already
evlnce&l decided inclination to make polit
