COUNTING THs VOTE.

The Electoral vote has been counted
and SO quietly that the country could
hardly have known what was going on,
This shows how completely the political
excitement of last fall has evaporated,
The contrast between the state of the pub
lie mind directly after the Presidential
election and its present condition is
sufficiently curious. Then the air was thick
with disturbing rumors of the purpose OIL
the Democratic National Committee tc
contest the vote of New York, and there
were apprehensions lest civil war should
grow out of the audacity of those men.
Now there is not SO much as a whisper Of
doubt, and even the Georgia vote did moi
provoke debate in Congress. The situa.
ton in fact has been thoroughly accepted,
and those who were most excited three
months ago are the most placid and in
different to-day.

empirical, but it does not follow that no
special education IS required for its proper
and safe practice. To assert that doctors
often make mistakes is not to demonstrate
that quacks are as trustworthy as regularly
qualified practitioners. To open the door
to quacks BY refusing to prescribe qualif-
cations for the professional practice of med
icine is to encourage murder and robbery.
The State may not be justified in attempt
ing todefnethe nature of the qualifications
required for the practice of medicine, but
it certainly is justified in prohibiting those
who have no qualifications from practicing.
Any special medical education might be
admitted, but where there has been no
such education the line should be drawn.
Miraculous healers are delusions, and it is
quite safe TO leave them out of the count.

THE DAYS WORK BILL.

The bill to have all work on public
buildings done by the day instead of by
contract is practically measure to deprive
the State of the advantages of an open
labor market. As the State means neither
more nor less than the people, this is there
fore to force the taxpayers to pay two
prices for al work done upon public build
ings. This is manifestIy improper and
against public policy. The bill, however,
further threatens to give increased power
to the most dishonest class of politicians,
and to erect in San Francisco a regular
Boss Tweed regime. 1t Is consequently a
bad measure in all its implications, and it
ought to be defeated
