The DEMANDS OF THE SOUTH.

We cited the cases of Georgia and an
Alabama paper of influence in the Demo.
cratic party, last week, demanding that the
South shall assert itself in the party next
year and insist upon the right to name the
Presidential nominee. This bit OF courage
has amazed the Northern Democrats, but
it has encouraged other Southern journals
to speak boldly. The most recent of these
ptterances is made by the New Orleans
States which says the Southern Democrats
are agreed that they must be permitted to
name the candidate they think best adapt
ed to further their own interests. 1t then
proceeds to say "The South must no
longer be political nonentity in the
house of its own party. It's 1876 electoral
votes entitle it to the first position, and
make it sufficiently powerful to enforce
what it demands. The Democratic party
is in the South, not in the North or West,
and the principles of the Democratic party
are more in the agricultural interests Of the
South than in the manufacturing interests
Of the North. Il is but Just and proper,
then, that the head of the Government
should be in sympathy with the Southern
people and friendly to their interests. 3"
This is well enough for the States TO say,
and creates CONSERVATION among the New
York and Indiana managers, but let it be
understood, in passing, that the men of the
Republican party have no animosity
against the South, and are as friendly to
the agricultural as the manufacturing In
terests of the land. The idea that North
ern Democrats have SO diligently fostered,
that the Northern Republicans are arrayed
truth in it. Let the Southern people dis.
abuse their minds of the belief that the
Republican party is in any sense whatever
an.agonistic to them or their local inter.
ests. It is representative of principle, and
if the South will present man who will
better carry the principle up TO its highest
possibility than Western or Eastern man,
the Republican party will take him as its
candidate. But, as alleged, that the De-
mocracy cannot win in 1884 without the
South is perfectly clear, and it is there
fore natural and to be expected that the
Republican party should turn its armed
political front in that direction and
equally it is natural and just that the
South should demand to have the chief
voice in the Democratic National Conven-

TWO EXAMPLES,

At Newport, r. l.. they have Sanitary
Protection Society. The report of DR..
Rives, the Recording Secretary, is just out.
1t shows that the efforts of the Society
have resulted in greatly improved condi-
ton of the public health. The whole peo-
pie approve the Society, which has brought
about complete reform in house and town
drainage, and the additions made by ex-
perience and test to sanitary science are of
the highest value. At Concord, n. H, a
vigorous effort was made early this year to
abate nuisances, clean foul drains and re-
move all probable cause of disease. The
efforts were resisted some stubborn peo-
pie could not see the necessity for action,
but it was persevered in, and now, at the
close of ak months, the enforcement of
sanitary regulations has had such . pos.
tive and perfectly apparent beneficial
effect, and has go decreased sickness and
death, that no man is to be found who
will confess he ever opposed the reform.
atory work. Zymotic and malarial atiic-
tons have disappeared, foul odors 10 longer
poison the air. cesspools and pits are pre-
vented from breeding disease or contain
mating the atmosphere, and the town
drainage is rendered harmless. Il is hardly
necessary to add that Sacramento can ac-
complish all the two towns named have
accomplished. It is merely a question of
disposition and determination.

fore, exactly what the Colonel means is set
forth in seven distinctly numbered para
graphs. In brief these state that what the
Colonel holds is that in the past, large
ranches cultivated by men with ample
capital, were more beneficial to the State
than if they had been held by squatters IN
small tracts, without means to improve the
land. There is no occasion TO take issue
with this historical recital and hypothet-
icai statement. Second, poor pioneers on
dry lands, without means to irrigate,
would have been ruined by dry years.
Very likely. Third, had they raised
crops on small tracts they could not
have pastured stock without fencing,
and so could not have made profitable
settlements. Whatever this means we
are willing to admit it, Fourth, small
farms are better for the country
now than large ranches, and large posses
sions should be subdivided when deemed
feasible, etc. Which expression enrclls
the Colonel on the anti.land monopoly side
and closes the debate with him. Fifth,
large ranches have by the application OF
capital produced millions of dollars worth
OF grain in California on lands that other
wise would have remained unproductive.
Concerning which the question in hand has
nothing to do. Sixth, large ranches in the
past have paved the way for the develop
mento thickly- settled communities. which
have been located upon them, etc, and
have thus been Of benefit TO the commerce
of the State. As to that, it is wholly i'm.
material. We differ with the gentleman
a. to the fact. The large ranches have, as
we read the history Of the State, retarded
development and hindered the settling NJ
of the country. Lastly, he fayors subdi'
vision of large ranches into small farms a:
fast as the demand for land is apparent
Says the Colonel LIST the papers send
us out the settlers; we viii sell them
choice lands at reasonable prices" TIC
which we reply that the ability of the
large holders to make the offer, is the con
fession OF all the evils Of land monopoly,
Let the large land owners first subdivid'
and grade prices, and then invite the
immigrant, and not await his arrival tc
drive bargain with him. 1t is clear thai
the Colonels coon has come down, and the
future peace OF Mr.. HOLSTER will be un
disturbed.

MALPRACTICE,
a Notorious Specialist in q Bad sorape.


Dr.. Joseph Fl. Jossslyn, specialist, hsv-
ing his ciiice at 226 Suffer street, San Fran
cisco, was arrested Wednesday by detective
Rogers On charge of felony in having per-
formed an illegal operation. Toe victim is
Mrs Mary Emmonp, wife of William III.
Emmons, a printer, residing at 1904 Powell
street, End her case is so critical that it will
be almost miracle if she RECEIVERS. She first
found herself in delicate condition about
two months since, aud against her husbands
wishes, it is said, determined upon getting
rid OF her prospective offspring. Bent on
this design, it is charged that she visited
JosselyD, in company with a female friend,
and asked him his charges in such case
He demanded $50 as his fee. Mrs. Emmous
declared this to be beyond her means, and he
reduced his price to $40 She again pre-
tested, and finally ne consented to perform
the operation for $50, two-thirds of which
was paid down. the remaining $40 to be fur
nished as soon as it should come into the We
mans possession.

J. r. Rogers responded 10 accordance with
the orders of the Chief and at once begSn "a
searching investigation of the whole affair.
Dr.. Dennis candidly told Mrs Emmons that
he believed her to be within few hours of
dissolution, and advised her to make full
statement of the revoltiug transaction. She
did so, and it was reduced TO writing ard
signed by her in the presence Of witnesses.
During the whole time the doctor was slim
ulsting her with brandy. hypodermically in
iscted, and, strange TO say, as soon as her
statement had been completed, she seemed to
commence TO rally, and by midnight was
much better. During the afternoon DIR. Der :
mis- made an examination and found a large
portion OF the placenta, or after.birth, still
clineing to her womb. He removed this,
which stepped the hemoTrhaCe, and now the
foolish woman has a chance fer her life.
Armed with her statement, Detective Rogers
commenced search for further evidence, in
which he discovered sufficient strength to
warrant him in arresting Jcsselyn end Mrs.
Vandsrpool yesterday On charges of felony.
JosselYn furnished So. 0c0 bail after an hour's
Imprisonment. with the following surstiea :
R. p Lewis, So goo; J. w. Pearson. 81, 500.
and b. Z. Josselyn, his brother, 81. 500. He
makes an emphatic denial Of the entire mat
ter, and sayc he neither knows Mrs Emruons
Professionally or otherwise. He also claims
that his arrest Is the result Of conspiracy on
the part of jealous physicians Of another
school to ruin his practice. Mrs. Wander
pool is still in custody, her bail being the
same az Josselyn's.
Mrs. Emmons was for several years resi-
dent of Sacramento, where her husband was
employed as a compositor

On the 26:h of July, JosselyD, by the use
of an instrument. relieved Mrs. Emmons Of
two, months feius, and for dAv or two
shs sulfere no Ill effects. Then DR.. Mary
f. Vanderpool. of 15l7a Market street, who
seems to have been associated with the case
at the start. CANA more sctively into it, and
was booked as Mrp. Emmons' nurse" The
patient began to suffer some Ill effects from
the operation, and the Vanderpool woman
administered powerful sstringent, with a
view to removing the placenta. This failed,
and she thrust her arm into the unfortunate
woman's womb, with view to tearing it
away By force. In this she was only partly
successful, and the reeult was that Mrs. EN-
mons was thrown into high fever snd suf
fered from 8 hemorrhage that speedily caused
her case TO assume & very serious aspect.
Then her husband became alarmed, ard at
2 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon he called in
Police Surgeon Dennis and DR.. Bruck. The
former at once assumed charge, though with
scarcely hope of saving the wonan's life.
az there was so little blood and vitality left in
her that she was absolutely helpless. On
making diagnosis of the case ne had no
trouble in sscerssining the cause of his
patients illness. and after relieving her to
the extent of his ability be sent to polioa
