The New York SItuatjon,

The New York Herald, which strongly
advocates the election of Cleveland, com
ments editOrially upon an expression of
opinion from correspondent, travelling
through New York to note the political
tide, who writes that the Republican
party will come down to New York with
10000 majority. The Herald notes that
the battle of the parties is to be fought
out In New York city which is not at
all new discovery, upon the prevalent
theory that New York will decide the
presidential contest. The city is always
potent to decide the state ; the one being
Democratic and the other Republican,
New York is much more strongly Re
publican than Pennsylvania and the
one Is Democratic and the other "A
Republican state because the chief
cities are 30. There is nothing new we
say in this situation but when news.
paper, urging the Democratic cause,
finds that seventy thousand Republican
state majority is to be overcome in New
YORK and Brooklyn, there is plenty of
II terest in its suggestion that the Demo.
cratic party cannot afford any monkey
wnK IN those cities. The whole country
is interested and has right to speak in
protest against the disturbance in the
Democratic party in New York over its
local nominations, 1t takes no stock in
the assurance given the national Demo-
cracy that the local fight will not take
anythlr 8 from the presidential vote. And
there is good ground for its fear. If
Quay and his select band of accomplished
political sneak thieves cannot utilize the
situation in New York city To reduce
Cieyeland's majority, they will prove
very unworthy of their reputation; which
ID not to be expected. 1t is certain that
they will not be deferred by scruples or
poverty from improving the opportunity
offered them by the Democratic fight.
Ihey have nominated a mayorilty can
didate for trading purposes only.
Ihere is abundant opportunity in
New York for the exhibition of Demo.
cratic leadership and unsefsh patriotism.

dacy endangers the national ticket he

p0nent expresses his readiness to do SO.
but the mayor seems obstinate. We do
not believe that one who has been so dis

VINO Is SO sincere Democrat, will

A Lancaster LibrarV,

The cornerstone Of another great H.
brary was laid in Philadelphia on Mon.
day. Philadelphia has one great library
bearing the city's name, founded by
Franklin and occupying buildings on
Locust near Broad street, and far ont
South Broad. The latter branch, though
having one OF the finest buildings in the
city, is but little known because of it's
location. The Mercantile library. nearer
to the business centre, is more of a
mercantile enterprise for the cir
culation of all sorts of fiction, and
hardly reaches the dignity of an
institution of learning. The Uniyersity Y
library just founded starts with good
supply OF valuable and solid literature,
Doth classical and scientific, and it has
long been practically useless because of
she need OF q librarian and building.
Meanwhile Lancaster gets along after a
fashion, with few small libraries known
TO comparatively small number of the
people, and the college has fair pueleus
for good collection which has only fast
been rescued from oblivion and cleared
Lancaster daily intelligencer. [volume] (Lancaster, Pa.) 1864-1928, 1888-10-16

of the dust of ages by the volunteer
labor Of Professor John b. Kieffer. If
some benevolent millionaire happens to
be charmed with the idea OF giving a
library to Lancaster, the city will be duly
gratihed and proud, but there seems TO be
small hope that our people will make any
effort TO help themselves in the mater.
The cheapness of books and the immense
amount of reading that may be bought
In the shape of Sunday paper help TO
explain the prevailing apathy on the Ii.
brary question. Many reading people
have organized book clubs, which give
them the best of new books and the
pick Of the magazines at low cost.
Under these circumstances it Is hardly
surprising that no effort has been made
to found public library, but the shifts
so made are poor substitutes for such an
institution. The work would not behalf
so expensive or difficult as it appears on
its face, for with proper induce
ments the small libraries existing
might be secured for the new one,
A building might easily be planned to
offer good society rooms TO organizations
having books,and 80 they could be drawn
together under one roof, while the city
and the college, in return for the free use
OF books by students, might be counted
on for some help. OF course, nothing
very luxurious or perfect could be ex-
pected, and in a central part Of town, to
accommodate the societies and get plenty
of light, it might be necessary 10 put the
books up near the roof and depend on an
elevator.

The Doctors Quarrel.

The perils of greatness are again ex-
omplified in the case OF the dead Emperor
Frederick, the noble. That he was killed
b his doctors may be reasonably as.
oumed and In truth is proved by
their own declarations; whether Mac.
kenzie did IL, as the Germans say,
o. they did it, as he Gays, it remains upon
their own evidence that he was their vic
tim. And probably they all had hand
a it. The chief responsibility rests upon
Mackenzie, as the emperor died in his
hands and after he had given the world
Eeason TO believe that he could save him.
Mackenzie needed defense, but the vol
ume which he has printed is as ineffective
- his conduct of his patients case. He
made bad job Of both. His volume is
made up on the principle that the best
defense is attack; and he wades into
the German doctors furiously, taking
special delight in showing that they
know nothing Of laryngot, my. That is
where he is strong. 1t is his speciality,
and he seems to think that it is about the
whole Of medicine and surgery. 1t
ID the art of examining and treat
ing the throat, down which the
operator looks by the aid of mirror
and on which he operates with forceps.
The trouble being with Frederick s
throat, Mackenzie, who enjoyed the first
reputation as a throat treater, was sent
for and then he and the Germans dis.
cussed whether it was cancer, and he took
. piece out, and it was found not to be,
And the Germans say he took a healthy
piece from a wrong spot. 1t was year
or more before it was agreed to be can
Ger, and during this time many doctors
had looked down the poor patients
: $hroat innuGaeFaS,e times, and It had
been 70 abused among hands that it
would be almost a wonder If cancer had
not been blought on as Mackenzie says
It was, by the bungling Germans treat
ment, and as other people may think,
perhaps by his own.
And what an exhibition IL has all been
of the misfortune of greatness for if
Frederick bad not been a prince, "a country
doctor would have told him that he had or
had not cancer and would have killed or
curei him off hand, without subjecting
him to torture from regiment of
doctors. The case reminds one of Gar.
fields, where a great lot of competent
and incompetent doctors got mixed
up, with the bad ones genera l.
on deck, and a net result of
death and tremendous bills. We have
the same in the emperor's case, with the
addition Of doctors quarrel of the first
class, accompanied by the freest exposure
OF confidential consultations and an ex
hibition of lack of magnanimity and
self-restraint, which is not creditable to
the profession.
