Brice's Latest Lie.

The lasr audacious and preposterous lie
at New York, says the Dayton (O.) Jour
nal, il an utter peryersion of part of Hon.
Chauncey NJ. Depew's response TO wei
come fro1n his friends on his recent return
from Europe. The Brice bureau mutilated
Depew's speech by substituting General
HarrisOn's name for Clevelands. as used
by Mr.. Depew. For instance, Mr.. Depew
said that he met a prominent Englishman
in England who hoped Cleveland would
be elected because his administration
would be more favorable to the tariff
Brice bureau audaciously says that the
Englishman said Harrison. Among not
able things said by Mr.. Depew in his
speech was the following, which no dem
ocratic paper will quote:
lone thing, nv friends, that impresses an
American abroad more than any other is
the infinite superiority of our economic and
industrial system, especially as he realizes
that the whole Continent is an armed camp.
He sees there l0s0Oo,0O0 men at the conf
mand of government for war purposes,
with all business based on the need of being
ready for the greas war daily expected. He
sees all the young men of Europe in the
barracks or marching on the highway, with
the women driven into the field of labor.
He sees half the population daily drilling
in the art of murder, and the other half
taxed to support them in their hideous work.
When YOU see this picture and then compare
it with cur country, with an army invisible,
except with the aid of a microscope, and
with a navy that canal boat can run down !;
when you see a system under which no bur-
den can be put upon the people, save that
which they willingly bear to meet an honest
debt incurred in a war for their preserya-
ton; when you see everything harmoulzed
to work out the best development of the
country and the highest improvement of its
citizenship, then you feel when you come
back that truly there is no place like home.
Loud applause.

is the result of class legislation, fostered
by protection, which was originated and

Wholesome Regulations.

The most strenuous efforts will be
made in several States, including New
York, to improve the medical profess
sion. 1t is beginning to be recognized
that tho present loose plan OF allowing
mere tyros to practice on the public
health is dangerous, not only to indi-
viduals, but to communities. The
council of the medical societies of New
York City and county recommends,
among other changes, that a minimum
age be fixed, under which no one can
practice as physician, dentist, or phar-
macist; that not less than two full years
OF study be required; that prelimin-
airy studies be required equal to
those required of students admit
ted to law school; that no medical
school be incorporated without
specified minimum capital that will in
sure their ability TO thoroughly teach.
and no student shall DO licensed to
practice who does not reach n grade of
at least seventy in a prescribed course
Of study. All courses Of study must
include botany, chemistry, physics,
anatomy, surgery, physiology, hygiena,
microscopy, a5 well as obstetrics and
diagnosis. This form will be COM
mended by every one who seeks q

risk Of securing mere charlatan.-
