THE Philadelphia Press, through its cor
respondent, Mr.. Franklin Burr, first brought
Senator Malone into notice. 1t stands by
its protege and says, speaking of Fridays
debate in the Senate: The scene between
Senator Voorhees, of Indiana and Senator
Malone of Virginia. was of kind now be-
coming too much in vogue in a body which
has been held in high esteem by Americans
as the most dignifed of Legislative assem-
blies. Neither Voorhees, nor Malone is to
be held blameless in this matter. Both vio-
lated parliamentary decorum in a manner
that should have been reb ked by the gavel
long before the two Senators came to the
point of ''fghting TALK. SO far as there is
room, however, for sympathy or excuse, they
must be extended to the plucky Virginian
For weeks he has heen subjected to every
form of insult and insolence from one Dem
ocratic Senator after another, whose delib-
crate purpose seems to be to goad him to
desperation, if not violence. So far he has
stood his ground bravely, developing mean
while capacity for demolishing the whole
array of Democratic brllies, either in mass
or in detail. Mr.. Voorhees, may have more
backbone than some of his associates, but
he viii ge5 off no better than Hill, Brown or
Johnston. The odds are still on the side of
the Virginian. and every day he rises in the
esteem of his countrymen.

Mr.. A. G. CAMPBELL, who holds the Ger.

has written d letter to the President on the
subject OF polygamy in which he says:
"This is not question of religion. 1t is a
question of government, of law and morals.
Mormonism is increasing and spreading in
all the Territories and in many States of the
Union. 1t already influences the politics of
our youngest State, Colorado. 1t claims 10
hold the balance of power in Idaho, and is
making great he adway in other Territories
soon to become States. In Utah alone
thousands of children, born of Mormon pa
rents, are growing up with no other educa-
tion than Mormon schools can furnish, with
the Book of Mormon as their text book of
morality, and the necessity of living their
religion and paying their tithes imposed
upon them as the first duty of hfe."

AS to Mr.. William E. Chandler's qualifi-

ence of opinion. As to his qualifications for
the practice of politics there is none. In the
case appealed to that court of last resort,
the people, his views may be of consequence.
He predicts that 'The South will split up
and in four years time three or four of the
electoral votes of the South will be cast for
the next Republican candidate for the Presi-
dency, whom he thinks, too, will be nomin-
ated without struggle-that is, fight be-
tween any of the factions in the party. The
issue of free trade will be forced, too. upon
the Democracy. The Republican party will
favor protective tariff. In the Eastern
States such an issue will give strength to
the Republicans, and while in some of the
Western States the Republican vote on a
high-tariff issue might fall off, it will not
amount to 3 per cent"

Names Medical School,

The Medical School of Maine is now on
its sixty-first annual course, and more stu
dents are in attendance at its lectures this
Spring than ever before. From its estab
ilshment, over half a century. ago when less
than dozen pupils lthered in the minia-
ture amphitheatre in old Massachusetts Hall
down to this time when over a hundred
ma accommodations in the capacious lee
ture rooms of Adams HALL, the institution
has been noteworthy. 1t always kept well
abreast OF the times. OF late it has forged
ahead of its fellow schools.
There is in the country to-day but one
medical school whose entrance examin-
alton is SO rigid. There is not one whose
final examination surpasses it in intelligence
and conscientious thoroughness. 1t is we'll
equipped, its library is large, it's anatomical
and pathological collections extensive, and
its recitation and operating rooms admira-
bly, arranged. Above all, its faculty con-
ssts OF thoroughly trained students and able
practitioners. Even in the matter of clinics,
where it has been supposed to be weakest
it is well to the front. At one clinic the
last session of the school, sixtv-three pa
tients presented themselves for treatment in
the medical and surgical depar tments, and
the average was fifty.
The school has been brought up to its
present high state of efficiency by the ardu-
GUS and incessant efforts of it's faculty. aid
ed by the active and intelligent sympathy
OF the medical profession throughout the
State. The intent has been to advance the
standard of medical education. The result al
first was to reduce the number of students.
Men went to schools where no entrance ex-
animation was required, and where the final
examination was made easy To an insti-
tuition largely dependent upon tuition fees
the loss of pupils was serious. Men found
it hard to get into and hard to get
out OF, and SO went elsewhere. But the
management persisted in its good work. In
time people began to recognize the fact that
a diploma from the Maine Medical School
meant something that it was valuable
thing and an evidence that its possessor
was good student, well-grounded in his
profession and having practical knowledge
OF it. The result is that the attendance.has
steadily increased of late, and that this year
the number of students is larger than ever
before. Every State in New England is rep
resented.
it's pleasure, as well as duty, to ac-
knowledge the benefit the institution has
been to the community in raising the stan
dard of medical knowledge and in requiring
OF those to whom it grants its diplomas a
thorough training in the theory of their pro-
fession, considerable empirical knowledge
OF it, and respectable share of general in
formation. The increasing success of the
school-which suggested this ARTICLES all
together agreeable to contemplate.
