The Wheeling Iateli,gencer 10 It's
advocacy of Sen ate Bill No. 80, for
the suppression Of quackery 10 the
practice of medicine in this State,
says "Such safeguards for public
health exis. in most Of the States,
aud they are eminently proper IN
every State in the Union. AS fast
as quacks are driven out OF one
State by legislation, they flock to
States where there is no restriction
OH their pract CO, aud thus it hap
pens that territory like West
Virginia gets considerably more
than It's share. At the very best,
the science OF 10 edicine is an mex
act science, but It's practice in the
hands ef a charlstan becom g doubly
uncertain and dangerous, and it is
the duty OF a State 10 protect its
citizens against the impiricism OF
men who are thinkers to-day aud
doctors TO- morrow. No man has a
right TO practice medicine who has
not qualified himself for his duties
by reasonable course Of study, and
1t would really be no hardship to
say that no mau-should have such a
license who is not a graduate Of
some reputable medical college.
Even the best schools manufacture
Phynclahs at an alarmingly rapid
rate, bat they have the merit Of
teaching by actual demonstration
and experiment the anatomical fea-
lures OF the sciences. The pathoog
zeal information which they impair
10 OF course to be found mainly In
the standard works, but all intelli-
gent persons know the difference
bstween teaching by precept and
example day by day and learning
by dry and oftsntimes very msagre
aud crude reading in an office.
Physicians should 10 the first place
be men of general education, re-
sulting IN disciplined and developed
minds, and IN the next they should
have enjoyed the advantages OF a
prescribed course Of study and drill
Ia their profession, Even after be-
ing thus prepared for his work a
young doctor ls net the safest biped
in the world to turn loose IN a com
munity. lie lacks the experience
that eliminates conceit and brings
men to a realizing sense OF the fact
that life IS short and art is long.
We trust that the Legislature
will pass either the bill that has
been introduced, or ONE other bin
that will prove effective against
quackery."

Mr. Lowell Tired of the English
Mission.


WASHINGTON, February l3.-Mr.
James Russell Lowell has informed
the President that he desires to be
relieved from his post at the Court
OF st. James. He writes that while
approaching the honor that attaches
10 the position, and while enjoying
his work, he iesls that he has been
long enough abroad, and that he
could better crafty HE tastes could
be return to literary employment at
home, which is mere congenial to
him. 1t is the custom of foreign
Ministers to tender their resigna-
ton at the beginning of an Admins
tration. On this account the Prssi-
dent will not retire Mr.. Lowell.
The tender is merely formal, for in
nearly every case the Ministers are
Immediately reappointed. Mr..
LowslI's resignation will be under
stood to be rendered, and to General
Garfield Will be left the appoin tment
OF his snccessor, probably early in
the Administration.

Party Leaders,

Nothing IL more certain than that
the people just now do great deal
more thinking in political matters
than they ever did before. Men no
longer act in blind, unreasoning
way. but are beginning to discuss
measures for themselves and act in
accordance with the logic Of their
own reasoning. Profound statesmen
find it extremely difficult, therefore,
to impress the masses with the i'm
Portanco they once assumed in pub
lie sfflirs, not because they are less
trusted and respected, but because
those who are deeply interested in
the maintenance OF good govern
ment have determined to practice a
little craftsmanship for themselves
There was tims when political
magnntes simply gave thu nod and
all who trained with the n promptly
fell into line, bat in the sharp crit
iclsm that now follows every public
uttsrance men first try TO satisfy
themselves of the merits Of a ques-
ton before their acquaintance is OBJ
tanned. The world ia iull of iuJe-
pendent thinkers, all striving after
truth, and the great temple of pub

earnest worshipers, who seek TO
know the right as a proper standard
Of duty. This critical examination
by the people is not only confined to
party principles, but extends to men
in their capacity as party leaders.
Ii IS clear that the existence Of par
ties in notion carries with it the
necessity OF what are called leaders,
men who are just as essential in
keeping up and maintaining party
principles and party efficiency as
generals are necessary in tie con
duct OF well-organized army.
Without Leaders parties would be
mere uuorganizsd bodies, just as
armies without officers would be
more undisciplined mobs. OF
course, the people want wise, saga
cious and competent men to lead
them, and these they will cheerfu!!y
follow into the thickest of battle. 1t
sometimes happens that disappoint-
ed partieans attempt to gain as
tendency by attempting to over
throw trusted leaders under the
speclous cry OF reform. In doing
this, il they succeed, they simply
substitute one set of leaders for
those who are deposed, and the only
gamers by the change are the new
and untried men who seek power
ohly to secure public stations
Fortunately the great men DO not
care for such transitions of power,
but as general thing prefer the
old leaders who go often led them
on to victory. In the last national
struggle, in which the Democratic
party sustained a signal defeat, it is
charged that serious mistakes mark
ed the Democratic campaign, but it
lie much easier to see this now than
when the great battle was raging.
The errors that were committed,
however, we're onty errors of iudg-
msnt, and being such may hereafter
be avoided. The Democratic party
Is stronger and more compact to-day
than 1T ever was before in the ma
tons history, and under the guild
ance Of such competent leaders as
the Democratic masses will. send to
the front in their future national
struggles, that great party may out
OF this nsttIe danger pluck the flow
er safsty.-[Ex,

de wise thing. This thing of Civ
ing a quack full privilege of killing
people unfortunately and with
impunity, for which any other class
OF people would be led to the scat
fold, should be ended by the en-
forcement Of just and strict laws ;
and, the sooner the better.
No doubt there are many good
physicians in the Slate who are not

the case, there are many more who
are not graduates who know moth

about FIVE times as many as they

work injustice to few but by it

THE AUTOPSY

Of the deceased President demonstrated
that the learned surgeons were all at
sea as To the location Of the bullet. 1t
was found a foot or more from where
they thought it was; in fact felt it with
their fingers and found it by an instru-
ment! The fact that the ball was found
in a perfect sack, encysted, shows how
strong and kindly nature was. The
ball struck the spinal column, but not
the spinal cord, and the small frag-
ments of bone dislodged in that quarter
do not seem to have caused dangerous
irritation.
1t would seem then that the surgical
treatment of the President was based on
a fatally false theory; ana the autopsy
shows no vital organ seriously injured
by the shot
The Cincinnati Commercial says:
"Now the question arises whether the
treatment Of the supposed wound did
not cause the remarkable secondary
hpmorrhage which carried off the illus
trious patient ON the eightieth day Of
his illness. 1t is something more than
a yentWesome suggestion that the deyi-
ces tor keeping open the wound the
tubes, the use of the knife, the flexible
catheter the washings, and dressings
and rnsings, ofwhich we have heard
so much in the bulletins, may have done
the deadly mischief"
"It is a CHASTITY thing to think of the
solemn committee of physicians filling
the Presidents room while his wound
was dressed, and the flexible tube
was poked into the yielding flesh Of the
sick man, three inches at first and fl
nally fourteen inches in direction OPP
posite from that taken by the ball Is
this, under the eyes of the human race,
the best that can be done by the repre-.
sentatiyes Of American medical sci.
ence?"

THE LATE LEGIsLATURE

WAS largely Republican in both branch
es; but Notwithstanding all this the
Republican State Convention that met
at Cleveland and re-nOminated Charles
Foster for Governor, avoided all refer
ence to the General Assembly.
The Democratic platform on the other
hand, adopted by the convention that
nominated Mr.. BOOkwaIter, condemns
it, for Its incOmpetency, hypocrisy, its
unnecessary and heavy increase in the
taxation and for the passing of uncOn-
stitutiOnal acts and for its re-organiza-
tion of the benevolent institutions of
the State, solely for the purpose and as
medium for the purpose of spoils.'
