THE PRESIDENTS TREATMENT

Some time ago DR.. Hammond said: "The
fact that the surgeons did not Immediately
ascertain the Presidents exact condition has
done more than anything to kill him. 1t is
neglect, nbumau neglect, that will kill Pres
dent Garfield" For using the above very
strong language DR.. Hammond has been Sc
verely blamed by many eastern journals. 1t
has even been intinated that lie will be court
martialed for using language that compro
misses his superior OH Ger, Surgeon-Generai
Barnes. But more recent developments in
be Presidents condition appear to have
modified the feeling against him. The old
doctor, from the first, commended that the
President should be tire ated like any other
patient, and that his surgeons made a great
mistake in not extracting the ball immedi-
ately after he was shot. In view of the treat
ment he was receiving the Doctor has always
held that Mr.. Garfield would not get we'll.
How much of his adverse criticism of the sur
geons in charge is due to the modification he
experiences on account Of his preferred SER
vices in the case being declined or how much
is due to his knowledge of surgery,
int alone can tell. But il appears
there are many other prominent sur
geons throughout the country who are dis
posed to entertain views similar to those ex-
pressed by the blunt, plain-speaking old doc
tor. From our latest dispatches it seems
there ale grounus for much Of the complaint
which has been uttered in the East. Not
Withstar ding the ott-repeated assurances of
Or. Bliss that no symptoms of pyemia have
shown themselves in his patieut, tn. state
ment OF the fact by DR.. Boynton that the
President is now suffering from it will be ac-
cepted by the public as The immediate cause
OF his present discouraging condition. But
why DR.. Bliss and his associate physicians
have rot informed the public of this is one
OF those things which, to a layman, is past
hndlng out. 1t has been charged that his
SUI geons have all along taken a rose-colored
view OF his case that they have overlooked
certain symptoms that would have led other
physicians to pursue a different line of treat
ment, and that had they pursued it their
patent would now be on the high road TO
recovery. Whether there is any foundation
Tor these charges We do not presume to say,
but that they have failed in their efforts to
save the life Of their distinguished patient is
now too painfully apparent. In view of the
failure the people should be pardoned if they
manifest a want of confidence in those who
have had charge of the case.

WHAT RAILROADS WILL DO.

In the earlier days of Illinois, Wisconsin,
Iowa and other Western States when the
farmers grain was raised a hundred miles or
more from a railroad, the production was, of
necessity, limited to the facilities of transpor.
tation and the ability to place the product on
the market. hence the amount produced was
but a little more than sufficient to supply the
needs of the producer. The supply was
measured by the estimated demand for it, and
farmers in ohlt-of-the-way places were con-
tent with a bare subsistence upon their poor
ly cultivated acres. Such things as reapers
and steam threshing machines were then un-
known among them and the cradle, fail and
tanning mill prepared the grain for the mil
ler's work. But times have changed since
then. With the advent of railroads came new
farming implements and machinery. A rev.
olution was worked upon the farm. HI old
cradle and fails were consigned to the un-
used barn lofts or left to rot in fence corn
ers. The smal grain fields were enlarged
and covered a larger area of virgin soil and
their products rapidly increased until to-day
their immense harvests are SUPPLY ng
bread for the world. Villages, towns and cit
les have sprung up where but a few years ago
the ploughman's whistle and the COW boys
call were the only sounds that awakened the
the echoes of the surrounding forests. It is
almost unnecessary to state that this great
change has been brought about entirely
through the stimulating effects of the rs.il-
roads of the country.
What they have done for the agricultural
sections of the country they will dc for the
mining regions. They will produce as great
a change in the volume and profit of mining
and work as great a revolution in the coun-
try in which it is carried on as they have pro-
duced in the profit OF farming ard in the gen
eral prosperity of the once rural districts.
When lines of railroads penetrate our mining
regions we will see that change definite v
marked. Hundreds of locations which now,
with the cost of moving the ores to distant
smeltels or markets, that cannot be worked
to a profit, will Immediately become
valuable and command the IA tention of CAPT.
talists and engage the labor and skill of
miners. Machinery and all mining supplies
will be transported speedily and cheaply up
on the ground and all character of ores quick
ly converted int" cash. Our grand stretch of
mining country, larger than some of the en-
pires OF the east, rich in the precious metals,
will respond to their presence and add count
less millions to the wealth Of the nation. They
will open the doors to the energy and capital
OF the East. They will bring thousands in
our midst who are seeking Investments for
their idle capital. They will build up new
cities and cause our waste places to he filled
by a thrifty, conten'ed people. They will
break our isolation and bring us in contact |
with the outer world. In word they will
make Montana the the great North

Ills Argument fur Telegraph aud Rail-
road CansOiilNt NtIUMs.

New YoRK, Feb. 22.--The Herald
prints long interview with Jay Gould
in relation to railroads and telegraphs.
lie says: ave found the American
Union could not compete with the
Western Union. We did our best to
fight it, but there was nothing left in
the interest Of the public and our in.
terest but consolidation. Take the sit.
uation as it was the Western Union
had between nine and ten thousand
Offices nearly three-fourths of its op.
erations are in one way or other con
nected with different railroads. The
railroads pay them for their services.
They act as operators OF the
companies and the Western Union
1t is system Of cooperation between
the railroads and the Western Union,
and the public gains by the con,bina-
ton. The American Union, except
between certain points, was cut oil
from that TO compete with it, the
American Union had to pay salaris &
in places where the Western Union
was relieved from that burden. OF
where that burden was SO 81 ,ht il
could scarcely be taken into consider
alton. Upon investigation OF thu
whole subject we found we could not
in the end stand the compe' lion. Will
our limited service we found we were
paying almost Us much in salaries a
the Western Union. with its far mor'
extensive and broader service. 1t wa
competition that would have proved
ru,nous in the end, and impaired tn
telegraphicservice of the coun r., there
by hurting business. 1t could no
possibly so on. The consolidation
came, and the public is benefited. Al
parties are benefited. The telegraph

than it ever was.
