THE SURGEON GENERAL.
Annual Report OF the chief Medical
Officer OF the Army.

Omcer OF the Army.
The surgeon general of the army in his
annual report to the secretary Of war says
that an increased amount of appropria-
ton for the purchase of artificial limbs
and appliances for the next fiscal year Is
necessary. He speaks OF the apparent
hardships in carrying out the laws for
furnishing trusses, and recommends that
the existing law on this subject be SO
amended as to correspond with that re-
lating to artificial limbs. Medical and
hospital ssppSss we're Ci isfHySe and tsss tss
cost vr tne supplies during the current
fiscal year will probably exceed that by at
least S25, ,O00. He renews the suggestion
made in his last annual report, that con-
gress so legislate as to permit the sales of
medical supplies to civilian employees,
Tho total number OF deaths am ong white
troops was $50. or 12 per 1000 of mean
strength. an, increase Of 2 per 1000 over
the rate for the previous year. The
number Of white soldiers discharged for
disability was S3S. The total number of
deaths among the colored troops was 90,
or 10 per 1000 Of mean strength, which
is l per 1000 lower than the death rate of
the previous year. He notes the fact
that this is not only the lowest death rate
yet reached among the colored troops
since their organization, but that it ia the
first time the rate has fallen lower than
for white troops-the usual average diff
ference being 3.2 per 1000 OF mean
strength in favor of the latter class. The
number of recruits examined during the
year was 6.263 white, 453 colored, and
23g Indian scouts The number reieoted
was 2,04l white and LAG colored.
During the year there were added 144
new specimens to the collection of the
army medical museum. making total
OF 0, Ia specimens now in the museum.
During the year 1888 visitors registered
at the museum. The additions to the
library included 1000 volumes and $500
pamphlets. The medical and surgical
history of the war will probably be COM
pleted and ready for issue In about year.
This work is in tho hands of Surgeon
Charles Smart. The surgeon general
expresses hope that action may be taken
during the coming session Of congress to
provide fire-proof building for the army
medical museum and library of the sur
geon generals office, and that immediate
steps be taken to secure safe depository
for these valuable collections, now in
constant peril from tho dangers which
surround the present unsuitable building.
He recommends the enactment of law
providing that the hospital stewards be
composed Of two classes-those appointed
by the secretary of war to compose the
first class and those appointed by the
commanding officer to compose the sec.
ond class, the former to receive $50 and
tho latter $25 per month.

The case OF Kettner, the German saloon
keeper, held for the shooting of Thomas
O'Brien at Silverbrook, in this city, is one
which deserves the careful attention of the
State authorities, On the one hand the act
does not bear on its face the evidence of the
deliberation essential to charge of murder;
on the other hand it is certain that homicide
has become prevalent and comparatively
venial oflense of late years. Already the
issue has been raised of the political rather
than the judicial aspects of the trial. More
concern seems to be expressed over the ques,
tion of the German vote than the wrong
which the peace of the community has sus,
tanned. The prospect of the exercise of the
gubernatorial prerogative is discounted, ever
| before the accused had been placed on his
| trial.
In the light of the IIarrigan case sucl
speculation is very natural, but it is altogethe
wrong. The bald question is-Did Kettue
kill O'Brien? If so was the act justified b,
selfdefense? If not, what is there to inter

fere with the proper course of law in such
mattersP
Kettner is on his trial before his fellow
citizens, and it is not right or fair that the
circumstances of the case should be in any
way discussed or reviewed till the Court has
pronounced its decision. But this much
may be safely said The keeping of deadly
weapons by saloon keepers is a practice
almost universal, and il is in the last degree
dangerous to the public safety. From the
very nature of his trade, the saloon keeper
is liable to have his temper aroused on short
notice and at times when his yalor gets the
better of his discretion. He may be sober
man, but he is not always so. His custom
ers may be sober men but they are seldom
so.Among the large crowd of habitual drink
ers, there are certain number probably a
considerable reponderaace-who carry CON
cealed deadly weapons. Here are all the
elements which invite a fatality and it is no
argument that ifa customer violates the law,
the saloon keeper must provide the means
of taking the law into his own hands. If we
must have saloons and drinking dens, there
should be special legislation making it an
often Sc punishable by a long term of impris-
ment Without the option of fine, for custom
ers to carry concealed deadly weapon in
saloon, or for the proprietor to have such
weapon on that portion of his premises in
which drinking is resorted to.

Tnn I,rnnn Dollar.

Notw outstanding the fact that the Trade
Dollar question has been too long neglected
by the Government, it is better that Con-
gress should indefinitely postpone the con
sideration Of the matter than rush into the
net spread by the brokers and Spectators
who would have them redeemed at par
When tile war against the coin was inaug-
urated a year or SO ago, it was Immediately
perceived that Corner might be created
by taking the trade dollars at par, banking
them for their full value, and F'tulning the
money round' in way to secure the specu-
lator against any possible loss. For example
hand found u ready market for them by
accepting trade dollars in payment. Persons
who would not otherwise have made pur-
chaSes haStened to get rid of their trade
dollars on what seemed favorable terms.
Thus if A sold a hundred dollars worth of
goods, receiving hundred trade dollars at
par in payment, he was nominally out of
pocket some fifteen cents on the dollar, or
about SIS ON the whole transaction. But
inasmuch as he could deposit the money on
full credit at the bank or Immediately turn
it over" again, and in addition get rid of
goods otherwise unstable, besides having
the opportunity Of iiSinsa bis own profit on
all possibility of loss but able to make an
immediate profit out of the transaction.
Again the brokers who accepted the
deprecated coin at par found abundant
opportunities Of disposing of them at profit
if not at full value-in the emigrant
bureaus Of Europe, and even i'll Canada and
the territories. 1t is difficult to believe that
any loss has been suffered by the war
against the trade dollar save by the work
ing men and employees generally who had
accepted them at face value previous to the
Inauguration Of the crusade against the coin.
For these reasons, we hold that if the
trade dollar question is to be finally deter.
mined by tile redemption Of the coin, sucl
redemption should be at the deprecated
value in operation at the time when the
brokers and merchants were buying then
up. These persons have already derived ont
profit from the enterprise and it would be
false policy indeed which robbed tile artisan
to furnish the financier and specnlator witt
a double profit.
