Christian Science.

Ine 60called " Christian Science " OF
faith cure is Mt last receiving severe criti-
Cism from medical men. Liberal and
wise men Of science have freely admitted
the possibility Of faith cures in certain
cases, though assigning different cause
OF recovery, and they have had very little
to say against the harmless and often
efficient labors of the Christian scien.
lists with patients suffering from dis
eases Of hysterical origin. The horrible
case Of a fanatic who allowed her daugh-
ter and child TO die for want of simple
attention, has at last aroused the meJica'
fraternity to sense of duty in ~, =. -,
ter, and vigorous protests srains, w.. % ,h.
craze come from J, gsss;r,ora "s"i'' WIG
>aS0thiDg can more powerfully con.
tribute to the overthrow and conGne-
ment of "Christian Scientists" to
the field Of hysteria and imagi-
native sickness than an expose OF their
methods and principles. The patient is
required to believe that he is not sick,
that there is in reality no such thing as
sickness, and on the perfection of his
faith that he is well, his cure depends.
To appreciate the force given to this
paradox one must endeavor to obscure
his intellect as far as possible, ard escape
from any glimmering or common sense.
The Medical Register selects as sample
"a Prayer for Dyspeptics," published
recently in the Medical Itdcr, and said
to be taken from the "School of Primitive
and Practical Christian Science" This
prayer addressed to the Holy Reality 1"
begins with protest Of belief in the
presence Of that reality in every fibre and
atom and in the stomach of the patient.
We will not try to be such hypocrites
and iniidels as every day of our lives to
affirm our faith in Thee and then imme-
diately begin to tell how sick we are, for.
getting that Thou art everything, and
Thou art not sick, and, therefore, that
nothing in this universe was ever sick, is
now sick, or can be sick"
The patient then prays for forgiveness
for having talked about his headache or
the lump in his stomach, and for having
thought about medicine. lie axis for
help to believe that it is silly TO be sick, &,
absurd to be ailing, wicked to be wailing,
atheism and denial of God to say : / am
sick Help us to stoutly affirm with our
hand in Your hand, with our eye fixed on
Thee, that we have no dyspepsia, that we
never had dyspepsia, that we will never
have dyspepsia, that there is no such
thing, that there never was any such
thing, that there will never be such
thing"
1t is hard TO believe that a person whose
mind is not impaired by disease can see
anything but blasphemy in this miscalled
Christian Science. and whenever it
pretends to deal with cases requiring sur
gical aid, the law should interfere.

The chief Justices salary.

The appointment of Melville w. Full.
Ter, as chief Justice of the supreme court
Of the United States, again raises the
question of the meagre pay given to an
officer who in his eminent position and
onerous duties Is exceeded by no jurist in
the world. The kind of man who prop
erly fits into the chair Of chief justice is
hard TO find. He must have rare legal
versatility, great grasp of mind, and
disposition to adapt himself to the ever
changing, upward growing condition Of
the most energetic people under the sun.
When such man is found, conspicuous
alike for integrity and ability, he should
be well recompensed.
But he is not. The head of the United
States supreme court is paid a salary of
e10, 800 year, which is mere bagatele
TO the earnings of any of the eminent
lawyers Of the leading American cities.
The acceptance of the position Of chief
justice involves large pecuniary sacri-
fee as rule, for those who are thought
Of for the placaare of such distinction as
to derive great revenues from their pro-
fession. This sacrifice should not be re.
Quired. The chief justice Of England il
paid 900 year. Nor il it needful iC
60 across the ocean for an instance OF
hberality to judges. The supreme court
judges Of New York get eli 800 year
the superior court judges $4,000, and th'
common pleas and general sessions sl20W
each.
Il is a great wrong to give these judge
more than the chief justice of the su
preme court Of the United States. Thi.
country is rich enough to pay its inter.
prefers of the law salary in proportion
to the Importance of the duties assigned
to them. With an overlooking treasury
the present year would be proper one in
which to make the change.

THE proposed organization Of a naval
reserve is agtating the soul OF tho New

quite delightful to go out In his yacht and

weather as a sailor OF the naval reserve. He
might wear plenty OF brass buttons, and
fly quantities OF bunting, ana burn barrels
OF ofpowder coming back to New York as
the militiamen used 10 return from their
picuics in the days when our state troops
existed for their own amusement. Secre-
tary Whitney will speedily rob their dream
OF Its romance II his naval reserve il estab.

wanted, while encouraging the building OF
pleasure craft that may be- used in naval

THERE is conspicuous difference be.
tween the conduct Of Senators Voorhees,
and ingalls,, showing the wide margin be.
tween the conduct Of q gentleman and one
lacking gentlemanly instincts. Senator
voorhees,, In the heat OF passion, was led to
refer to brother senator In language un.
becoming to any legislative tribunal, and
his first temperance In the Senate was the
signal for manly apology, which fully
covered the oflense committed. Senator
ingalls,, In the heat Of sectional bitterness,
traduced the memories OF two brave Union
soldiers, who, being dosd, were unable to
speak for themselves. Tho offense was
greater than that of Voorhees,. The latter
apoloRized to the living. The former failed
to make amends for injustice to the dead.
1t Is great difference between them.

The Bill Opening the Sioux Reservation
Runs the Congressional Gauntlet at
Last.
WASHINGTON, March 22-The Sioux res
eryation bill has passed the senate. The
bill as sent to the conference committee
is essentially the same as passed the
house, and no doubt will be agreed to
readily. The clause preserving cash an
nuities is valuable, not only to Indians,
but to the contiguous country, because it
keeps goodly sum of money circulating
annually. The allotment of land in sew
crafty is another feature which has been
successfully battled for, and will hasten
civilization and political economy ideas
among the Indians, besides giving more
land to the public domain without re-
curing legislative conflicts to secure the
same. The clause granting school-houses
to the Indians is not only beneficial to
them, but will tend to materially aid in
securing their consent to the ratification
Of the measure. The Dakota contingent
are happy

days, but his condition was not consid-
cred dangerous. His death was there
fore unexpected, and causes great con-

The remains will be embalmed and

them.
Morrison Remich Waite, the seventh
chief justice of the United States, was
born in Lynn, Conn.,, on Nov. 20, 1916,
and is now II years of age. He entered
Yale college when quite young, and
graduated from that institution when
81 years of age. He afterwards
studied law and began to practice his
profession in Maumee City. He was q
member of the Ohio state legislature in
1e49, but declined repeated nominations
to congress. In 1871 and 1872 he was
one of the counsel of the United States
before the tribunal of arbitration at Gen
eva. In 1878 he presided over the con-
stitutional convention Of the state of
Ohio. In January, 1874, he was ap-
pointed chief justice of the United States
and has since resided at Washington.
