The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1888-04-16


Louisiana will be told that the tariff must
be arranged for the advantage of American
sugar, the people Of Virginia will be told
that the tariff must be arranged for the ad-
vantage of American tobacco and the peo-
pie of Pennsylvania will be told that the
tariff must be arranged for the advantage
of American iron, and the people of Ken
lucky will be told that the tariff must be
arranged for the advantage of American
whisky, and the people of Ohio that the
tariff must be arranged for the advantage
OF American wool, while Massachusetts and
Connecticut will be promised protection for
manufactures, and all the monetary inter
estS, North, South, East and West, will be
told in each neighborhood that the taxes
and tariff will be fixed to suit them, ire
spectlve of anybody else; and, the Presiden-
tial election over, all will settle down as it
was before If you think that all this dis
cussion in public places is from any desire
of the welfare OF the dear people, and not
for political effect, you are grievously mis-
taken
Go into all occupations and professions,
and If you want to know how much jeal-
ousy is yet to be extirpated, ask master
builders what they think of each others
houses, and merchants what their opinion
is of merchants in tho same line of busi-
ness in the same street, and ask doctors
what they think of doctors, and lawyers
what they think of lawyers, and ministers
what they think of ministers, and artists
what they think of artists. AS long as men
and women in any department keep down
and have hard struggle, they will be
family praised, and the remark will be:
"Oh, yes; he is good, clever sort of fell
low" "She is rather yes, somewhat, quite
well. may say tolerably nice kind of
woman" But let him or her get little
too high, and off goes the aspiring head by
social or commercial decapitation.
Remember that envy dwells more on
small deficits of character than ON great
forces, makes more Of the fact that Domi-
tian amused himself by transfxing flies
with his penknife than of his great con-
quests; of the fact that Handel was a glut-
ton than of the fact that he created imper-
ishable oratorios more of Coleridge's opium
habit than of his writing "Christaben and
The Ancient Mariner;' more Of the fact
that Addison drank too much than of the
fact that he was the author of the Specta-
tor; more of a mans pecadilloes than of his
mighty energies, more of his defeats than
of his victories.
Look at the sacred and heaven-descended
science of healing, and then see Dr. Mac
kenzie, the English surgeon who prolonged
the life of the Crown Prince of Germany
until he became Emperor, and | hope may
y
years govern that magnificent German ma
ton, than which there is no grander. Yet
so great are the medical jealousies that DR..
Mackenzie dare not walk the streets Of
Berlin. He is under military guard. The
medical students of Germany can hardly
keep their hands off of him. The old doc
tors of Germany are writhing with indigna-
tion. The fact is that in saving Frederick's
life DR.. Mackenzie saved the peace of Eu-
Tbat.o np ft,fa an
either side the ocean that did not fear for
the result if the throne passed from wise
and good old Emperor William to his mex
perienced grandson. But when, under the
medical treatment of Dr. Mackenzie, the
Crown Prince Frederick took the throne, a
wave of satisfaction and confidence rolled
over Christendom. WHAT shall the world do
with the doctor who saved his life2 oh"
cried out the medical jealousies of Europe,
destroy him; of course, destroy him."
What a brutal scene of jealousy we had
in his country when President Garfield lay
dying. There were faithful physicians that
sacrificed their other practice and sacrificed
their health for all time in fidelity to that
deathbed. Drs. Bliss and Hamilton and
Agnew went through anxietieS and tolls
and fatigues such as none but God could APP
preciate. Nothing pleased many Of the
m adica profession. The doctors in charge
case knew better than those who agonzed
over it in the sick room for many weeks. |,
who never had anything worse than q run
round on my thumb, which seemed to me at
the time was worthy all the attention of the
entire medical fraternity, had my own ideas
as to how the President ought TO be treated.
And in proportion as physicians and laymen
were igno ant of the case they were sure
the treatment practiced was a mistake.

from that in which it was supposed to have
been lodged about two hundred thousand

tors in all cities who would rather have the
patient die under the treatment Of their
own schools than have them got well under
some other pathy.
Yea; 10 at the clerical profession.
am sorry TO say that in matters Of ieal-
ousy it is no better than other professions
There are now in all denominations a great
many young clergvmen who have a faculty
for superior usefulness. But they are kept
down and kept back and crippled by older
ministers who look askance at these rising
eyangelists. They are snubbed. They are
jostled. They are patronizingly advised.
1t is suggested to them that they had bet
ter know their place. If here and there

Grafton and divine force, go past the seniors
who want to keep the chief places, tho
young are advised, in the words Of Scrip
ture: "Tarry at Jericho till their
boards are grown" They are
charged with sensationalism. They are
compared TO rockets that go up in a blaze
and come down sticks, and the brevity Of
their career is jublantly prophesied. If it
be a denomination with bishops, n bishop is
implored 10 sit down heavily on the man
who will not be moulded; or if a denomina-
ton without bishops, some of the
older men with nothing more than
their own natural heaviness and
theological avoirdupois are advised

and presbyteries and associations and CON
ventions there is often seen the most damn
able jealousy. Such ecclesiastical tyrants
would not admit that jealousy hal any pos
session OF them, and they take on heavenly
air and talk sweet oil and sugar plums and
balm of a thousand flowers, and roll up
their eyes with an air of unctuous sanctity
when they simply mean the destruction OF
those over whom they pray and shuttle.
There are cases where ministers of religion
are de elict and criminal and they must be
put out.
But in the ajority of cases that | have
witnessed in ecclesiastical trials there is a
jealous attempt TO keep men from surpass-
ing their theological fellows, and as at the
Presidential elections in country places the
