HE MAY LIVE MoNTBs.
A gentleman who. is thoroughly conver-
SAINT with Grants ailmelt said Tonight:
t'The marvellous Improvement in the gem
erals condition is n9s at all surprising to
me. He may live two or three weeks ant!
he may live two or three months. If he
survives till the early part of the summer
he will be taken ont of the city, to noun
tains probably, as do net think the sea
air would agree with him. If he had
strength enough, I think he would like to
go to California. If he improves in the
same ratio during the next four days he
will be riding in the park this week. He
does not require so much morph1a now;
only six drops of the solution were injected
Tonight, instead of the customary ten drops.
He partook of three varieties of nourish-
ansnt to-day, and the general being in a
facetions mood alluded to the food as his
thres courses.

RUSSIAN NEWSPAPERS FOR WAR.

ST. PETERSBURG, April Morning
newspapers throughout Russia, with very
few exceptions, commenting on the recent
battle between the Russians ard Afghans
On the Rushk river, are very beiiicosa III
their utterances, and charge Earl Dufferin
and Sir Peter Lumsden with provoking war
| by advising the Afghans to advance on
Puli-Khisti, which British officials knew
was part of the Russian territory. The
Afghans, they say, also fully understood
would never have attempted to advance
their pickets TO that point unless strongly
urged to do SO by British officials. The
war party fully endorse the assertions of
those newspapers and are very pugnacious
over the affair.
RUSSIAN VIEW OF THE BATTLE.
ST. PETERSBURG, April IO-The Journal
of st. Petersburg says that Gsneral Kom-
aroll;s return within his lines after driving
off the Afghans indicates that the Russian
attack was caused by the hostile action OF
less serious aspect and becomes merely an
accidental conflict, difficult to avoid con-
sidering the extremely strained condition of
affairs and proximity of the Russian and
Afghan outposts. The Journal expresses
the hope that the conflict will not interfere
with negotiations now i'll progress between
England and Russia.
CABINET COUNCIL.
LONDON, April 13.-l P. MA cabinet
meeting, summons for which were issue d

the ministers, and the resuit of the council
is awaited with anxious eagerness.
After the rising of the Cabinet Council
this afternoon Earl Granville, foreign Sec
retary, sent long dispatch to the British
minister st ST. Petersburg. The govern
ment has received Official dispatches, fully
confirming the report of the Russian ad-
vance 10 force.

THE STEAL RECOMMENDED.

The joint committee on water works
and public grounds TO whom was referred
the communication OF Mayor Sharp in
reference to certain land and water power
privileges, said to belong to Mr. Joseph
g. Kingsbury, in City Creek canyon. have
made their report. After three weeks OF
hard thinking over the water supply Of
Salt Lake City and how TO increase and
improve it, this joint committee have
recommended the purchase OF this land
and these water rights. Why three
weeks should have been taken to
make this report upon cut
and dried thing is hard to see.
The report says that "they have
waited upon Mr.. J. G. Kingsbnry, the
owner OF the lands and water privileges
in question and that Mr.. j. G.
Kingsbury will dispose Of the same to the
city for $4,000, OF which sum he demands
$4,000 to be paid him upon delivery OF {
good and sufficient deed, and the balance

in three equal yearly installments, draw
ing interest at the rate of per cent per
annum from date of completion of pur-
chase until paid" The amount OF error
in this part OF the report is truly surpris-
ing when the time consumed in preparing
this report is considered, and the compo-
stion of the committee is also considered.
The committee may have waited upon
Mr.. Kingsbury for forms sake, but the
committee err most grossly when they
say that Mr.. Kingsbury is "the owner oi
the lands and water privileges in ques-
tion." Mr.. Kingsbury merely holds "the
lands and water privileges in question II
in trust for the Church of Jesus Christ ol
Latter-day Saints.
Two weeks and half before the com
mittee made their report on this matter
the DEMOCRAT exposed the steal, and told
the exact price that was to be paid fol
"the lands and water privileges in ques
tion," and that price was the same as
that which this precious joint committee
found that Mr.. Kingsbury would take
We ask how it could be known that the
committee would report that they coult
secure this property for $4,000
Because the whole thing was cut ant
dried before the Mayor even sent his
communication to the City Council, and
this we can prove; and we challenge the
Mayor, or any member of the City Coun
Gil, or any man, woman or child in Sal
Lake City to deny it. And this commit
tee appear 80 wondrous wise, and seem t.
have such deep insight into financia
matters and the future needs Of the city
and would make people believe that they
are so anxious for the welfare of the citi
zens! The Mayor and City Council o.
Salt Lake City are truly noble and honest
men, and never thought enters thei
minds, that is, their official minds, bu
that is calculated to benefit their masters
the taxpayers (0, whose servants the!
are. If the wicked in heart think that |
big steal has been perpetrated, let thu

THE MEDICAL METROPOLIS.
Philadelphia Losing Her Former
Pre-emincncc.

For many years past Philadelphia has
been famous as a training-place for doc
tors, and has believed herself to be the
medical metropolis OF the United States.
Her schools are Justly famed and some OF
the instructors in them have acquired
worldwide celebrity. Nevertheless, SO
far as mere numbers go, she is now ex-
celled by both Chicago and New York.
OF the total number of medical students
in the country, New York now has 14.9,
Chicago lib, Philadelphia 1913, Cincin-
natl 81, and St. Louis 4.3 per cent. OF
graduates the New York schools have
| furnished 13 per cent, the Chicago schools
| 1913 per cent, the Philadelphia schools
81 per cent, the Cincinnati schools Ga
per cent, and the st. Louis schools per
cent These figures are furnished by the
Chicago Ne,gs. They need explanation,
for the Chicago schools have now much
larger number of students than ever be-
fore, and it is hard to see where so large
percentage OF Chicago graduates come
from. The increase in attendance at the
Chicago schools in seven years has been
40 per cent. In 1877 Chicago was out
ranked not only by New York, but by
Philadelphia and Cincinnati also.
According to the same authority, the
total number of medical students in the
United States has increased in seven
years from $500 to ,779-nearly AZ per
cent. Students Of the regular" school
have increased from 1000 to 1885
nearly "a per cent. Students of hom9o-
pathy have increased about 16 per cent,
and eclectic students about the same. In
Chicago, however, the regular" school
has gained only "a per cent, while the
homeopathic has gained 45 per cent.
That city has two large homeopathic
schools and twice as many homeopathic
students as any other city. Cincinnati
has the most eclectic students, followed
by Chicago and New York. Philadelphia,
Chicago, New York and Baltimore have
schools for the medical education of
women only, and rank in the order
named.
1t appears, therefore, that the honors
are divided. While Philadelphia is the
allopathic headquarters, Chicago the
homeopathic and Cincinnati the eclectic,
New York has the most schools of all
sorts and the most students. Chicago
may be, as its inhabitants confidently
predict, the medical metropolis OF the
future, hut New York holds that place
now, and will probably continue to hold
it while longer.-New York Mail and

THE long expected revelation OF Chaun-
cey w. Depew, some intimation OF which
was given in a speech TO the Chamber of
Commerce OF New York last summer,
about the unrecorded work OF General
Grant, has been made. Whatever the
other merits of this revelation il has the
important one OF being interesting. Mr..
Depew's revelation will generally be taken
with grain of salt, and the grain will
not be a small one. If Mr.. Depew is to
be believed, Andrew Johnson was the
biggest fool that ever lived, and had
neither brains nor determination. The
story about Johnson's wanting to be adj
mitted to the society of the Southern
aristocracy, and his feelings OF hatred to
them because he could not be, is, in our
opinion, pure stuff and nonsense. And
then the yarn about Johnson wanting to
issue proclamation for the States re-
Gently in rebellion to send Senators and
Representatives to Congress because the
Southern leaders were willing to admit
him to their society when he had got to
be President OF the United States and
they themselves We're without power or
prestige and defeated, is "too thin" His
revelation will succeed in creating Il dis
cussion If nothing else.

" EDMUNDS ELECTED CLEyE-
LAND"

There is u growing opposition to Sena-
tor Edmunds in Vermont. The grounds
for this opposition are amusing. 1t is
said that Edmunds elected Cleveland. If
such is the case the country should be
grateful to Edmunds. The New York
Sun says that Ex-Governor Smith, of YER
mont, is an aspirant for Senator Ed
munds' seat in the Senate, and that he is
making still hunt to secure it. OF course
the avowal is not made, but there is a
conviction to this effect that cannot be
downed. The friends of Ex-Governor
Smith declaim very strongly against Ed
munds, and the overpowering charge
they bring against him is that one
speech from Edmunds in behalf of Blaine
would have elected him. On the suppo-
sition that one speech from Edmunds
in behalf of Blaine would have elected
him, it is a most fortunate thing that the
speech was not delivered. Had it been
delivered it would have been "One
speech Edmunds" like "Single speech
Hamilton" But it is pure nonsense to
say that one speech from any man would
have elected Blaine The weight which
the people OF Vermont attach TO anything
that Senator Edmunds may have to say
is owing to the fact that Senator Ed
munds' integrity and high sense of recti-
tude are such that his endorsement OF Il
man or a measure is such as to be an alb
solute guaranty OF the man or measure
so endorsed. Had his endorsement
been given to Mr.. Blaine, no doubt but
that it would have had very considerable
influence with many, but not so much in
New York as in New England, and it was
upon New York that his election
turned The test of the Republican
party rs to mans politics is
getting to be whether or not he
voted or stumped for Blame. The
thing for the Legislature of Vermont to
do now is to pass resolution OF censure
upon Senator Edmunds for not making q
speech last year in favor of Mr.. Blaine
