Ala, professional dispute between two
medical men ended in the death of one of
them. DR.. J. D. s. Davis and Dr.. VIM.
Locke Chew differed radically in their ideas
as TO the appropriate treatment of certain
disease, and discussion of the subject at
the Birmingham Medical Society brought
them into such heat that they quarreled
when they reached the street, and DR.. Davis
shot DR.. Chew so that he died. It is 1uite
possible that DR.. Davis viii die before his
natural time, so that his advantage in the
argument is only temporary.
Doctors are not likely to adopt this san
culinary method of solving professional dis
putes. What is the use Of killing each
other when they are at liberty to prove in
contestably the correctness or the reverse Of
their line of treatment on the public-and to
collect fees for SO doing? Anyone can see
that the proper course for Drs. Chew and
Davis would have been to have taken each
a patient suffering from the disease in ques-
tiou and to have subjected them to the two
different treatments. The doctor who killed
his man would have been proven wrong in
his theory; or if both patients died the doc
tors would have known they had to read up
their subject still further.
Now DR.. Chew is dead of q common gun
shot wound, and DR.. Davis is likely to die
of strangulatiOn or fracture of the vertebral
column; both very we'll known as causes of
death. Their decease can contribute moth
ing to science, We trust that the doctors of
Pittsburg will stick to the old conservative
practices, and acquire knowledge at the
public's and not their own expense.

sTANLEY,s IACKALs.

Stanley has come to light in safety, after
extraordinary perils, with no end of valua-
bic information about Central Africa and
stories of adventure innumerable. We ad-
NIT his right to all the glory man can give
him; his reward for so much suffering, we
trust, will be substantial, and we own to an
eager desire to hear from his own lips the
story of his journey. The pith of the matter
is that the world stands ready to honor and
give audience to the lion, but it does not
care cent about the jackals who, as usual,
come in to snatch what scraps they can from
the lions feast.
The efforts of the two New York news
paper correspondents to steal by hook or
crook share in Stanley's triumphs are too
ridiculous to need much reprobation. We
remember very we'll under what auspices
and with what significant innuendos the
man Stevens set out to find Stanley
He was not only going to find Stanley but
to lay bare all sorts of queer things which
were keeping Stanley out of sight 1t
was pretty broadly hinted by the paper
which employed Stevens and his little
bicycle that Stanley's reasons for staying in
Central Africa were not above sus-
picion. Slave trading and ivory dealing
were profitable, it was suggested. The
other correspondent was sent out to find
Stanley with a grand flourish of trumpets.
These worthy fellows are now disputing
which of them shook hands with Stanley
first after he had discovered himself
Neither correspondent got far enough from
the coast to anticipate Stanley's own an
nouncement of his arrival on the skirts of
civilization. Consequently under all the
circumstances the jackals had better take
themselves off while the popular eye is
filed with the lion. They may escape in
convenient kicking by an early retreat; and
certainly Stevens ought to feel grateful if he
does not feel the lions fangs.

rHE FARMERs ANn LARoRERs.

The union of the Knights of Labor with
the Farmers Alliance, which appears to be
practically agreed upon, is based on the
natural community of interest between the
important bodies which they represent. Que
body represents the mass of labor in the
manufacturing and mining industries; the
other the great agricultural industries. In
other words the alliance, if put on q
proper foundation, has the significance of
organizing the great mass of the workers of
the nation against the privileges which
favor certain forms of organized capital to
the disadvantage of the masses.
The Knights of Labor do not, of course,
represent the entire body of Industrial labor,
nor, indeed, does the Farmers Alliance in
clude all the farmers of the land. But if
these two organizations can frame a plat
form on which their respective interests can
unite, they will be able to command the
support of the great mass of both interests.
Such a union means the practical union of
the working people of the United States;
and the main criticism that can be made
against it is that it might as well be union
of the whole nation, in which case the Gov
ernment is the proper organization for it.
The basis on which the union is to be formed
presents no very easy question. Each party
is so welded to ideas of its own that the
amalgamation of them is not likely to be
any simple task. On the other hand, the
best guarantee against the adoption of
economic heresies is that the peculiar ideas
of one side will be checked by the interests
Of the other. The knights of Labor for
instance have lately been very strongly
affected by the land tax theory; but the
farmers, as the class which would be most
burdened by such tax, will be slow to
adopt IT. On the other hand the resolution
of the Farmers Alliance adopted yesterday
formulated distinctively revenue tariff
scheme; which the industrial labOrers will
not be likely to indorse.
A union which supports the true interests
of the farmers and lsborers supports the true
interests of the whole nation. The outcome
of this alliance will be watched with the
utmost interest, and may possess possibili-
ties of the greatest magnitude.

sTAELEY's EXPEDITION ENDED.

The safe arrival of Stanley, Emin Pasha
and their respective forces at Zanzibar closes
Stanley's fourth great achievement in
Africa, which is in many respects the most
remarkable Of his record. While his other
explorations were so successful as to arrest
the attention of civilization, none of them
have been 50 marked in the attainment of
their object through years Of trials, reverses,
difficulties and dangers.
The end OF the expedition is further nota-
bic in the fact that the bringing off of Emin
marks the abandonment of the outpost of
civilization which that gallant German has
50 long held at the sources of the Nile. 1t
is to be hoped that the latter has not sur
vived all the perils he has gone through to
meet death by an inglOrious tumble at Zan-
zibar. However that may be it is true, that
with the end of bis Governorship. the only
secure foothold of civilization in Equatorial
Africa is along the Congo and on the zanzi-
bar coast.
Is the heart of Africa to be abandoned to
the Arab slave traders, or win civilization
unite in Strengthening and extending its
hold on the Dark Continent?

PITTsBURG SATURDAY, DEC. Z, 1889
CoMMENTs NoRTH AND soUTH.

If anything were needed to remind the
country that it is % years since the war the
character of the comments upon the death
OF Jefferson Davis would suffice. AS chief
actor in a rebellion which cost the country
so terribly in life and treasure, and which
left a legacy of bitter sectional feeling, it
might be supposed that even the maxim of
speaking nothing but good Of the dead
would not restrain the expression of severe
judgments from many quarters in such
case. Yet thA marked disposition so far
shown by the Northern press, and even by
union veterans, is rather to pass over the
dismal and tragic chapter in silence; to
dwell more on the services the deceased rem
dered in the Mexican war and in the civic
service of the Government before secession,
as we'll as upon certain known amiable per-
sonsl traits and notable qualities of mind,
the possession Of which by Mr.. Davis was
undisputed.
The exhibition of this spirit is even more
significant than would be different tone
1t means simply that there is but a common
Judgment everywhere through the world
and the consequences which followed; that the
questions connected Herewith are forever
settled; that what, for so long, has ceased to
be in controversy or issue among the living
need not be reopened in discussion over an
open grave 1t is not to be supposed that
any estimate or opinion can possibly be ex-
pressed of Jefferson Davis which would
not be Influenced by recollection of the
reasonable enterprise in which he engaged,
and which chiefly made him conspicuous
before the world. But the expression of
opinions in the North is restrained by
feeling of magnsnimity in the presence of
the dread arbIter who closes all human
books and sends the grsvest and lightest of
accounts before the Highest Tribunal for
review and Judgment.
In the South there will, of course, be q
more ELUSIVE expression of sentiment
Though the new generation there, as we'll as
what remains of the old, can contemplate
the most eventful period of the life of the
deceased, with no different conclusions from
those entertained in the North, there will
still be the very natural feeling of personal
loyalty in death to the leader whom the
Southern people, mistakenly or not, did not
cease to admire when living and over
whelmed with disaster. That is no more
than is to be expected. The North will un-
derstsnd the sentiment, and place no ungen-
erous or mistaken Interpretation upon it.
