1t is disputed point, the effect the
abolition of the state board of health will
have upon the medical profession;
whether it will prove boon 20 the
euacks or destroy the profession entire
ly. The law requires that practitioners
shall procure certificates from the state
board of health before engaging in the
practice. We can see way out Of the
dilemma for the profession in the cities
of tia first class, i. e., they can get per-
ms 10 practice from the metropolitan
police commissioners. or if not from
them, certainly from the executive
council at Topeka where all police power
for the state viii be concentered and
whence it viii be retailed on application.

But, guess it doesn'n matter much. No
body or community in this great COM

EDIsoN,s CAREER.

Gath in the Enquirer.
Mr, Edison is one of the great Ameri-
cans. 1t is to be doubted whether this
race has ever produced his equal. Com
pared to other American invensors who
have realized great fortunes he is almost
like man of demigod origin. The work
of Fulton was one simple device to take
another mans steam engine and get a
power applied upon an arm to turn pad
dle-wheels Fulton made other develop
ments and he was an able man; but
nothing matured to speak of except his
steamboat. Edison Is perfect Pan
among the powers of nature. 1t is relat-
ed of the god Pan that he once came out
and sat on a mountain and played his
pipe, and such was the effect of the mu-
sic that the stones, rocks and inanimate
things began to change until they assum-
ed the likeness of men, and thus society
was made by music. Edison was a
newsbOy with an electric brain. From
selling newspapers he got to telegraph
operating. His instrument would sug-
gest things to him. and other things he
would read gave him suggestions. He
rather lost the reputation for stability as
an operator, because his mind was in
quest of ideas. He began to read the
scientific books; he was poor and almost
luscious of his poverty because he had
no extravagrances.
Finally he turned out some extraordi-
nary things in connection with electrici-
ty, multiplying the power of wires and
making them useful from opposite ends
at the same time; storing up power along
great circuits SO as to redouble it and
keep it moving. His greatness, however,
became visible to people at large
when the experiments were made
in the vicinity of Boston with the tele-
phone. 1t proved in this case that
philanthropy was the true route to dis
cover it. Persons engaged in the tuition
of the deaf and dumb found their way
to experiments npon the transmission of
sound by electricity. 1t has been said
that the telephone capitalists are set of
tyrants and ought to be. burned. and yet
their patents are on the eve of running
out, and it has been much better for
society to have subscribed to its own
laws and paid for the property used
rather than steal discovery in the greed
of the burglar or highwayman. The
general patents of the telephone COM
pany can be taken by anybody within a
brief time, but there cannot be taken
from them the patent organization they
have made and the combinations OF
forethought, which are craftsmanship.

The New States.

The New States.
From the Boston Herald.
The Democrats in congress are IN dan
ger of getting themselves into discred-
liable position as regards the territories
applying to be made new states. The
Republicans may be wrong in refusing
to admit New Mexico because of its pre-
sumed politics, but the attitude of the
Democrats toward Dakota and Washing
ton is utterly indefensible. 1t is con-
ceded on all hands that they should be
made states of the Union. There is no
decent reason then why they should not
be admitted on their merits. To refuse
to do this because some other state is not
admitted. is to take ground for which no
possible defence can be made. 1t is not
only wrong to keep them out, it is fool
ish also. They will be in the Union in
evitably in less than a vear-perhaps In
very few months. There is nothing
gained in any sense by postponing the
time of their admission.

At last the learned counsel for the
London Times have arrived, by cir
cuitous route and easy stages, at the
''nub" of the case,-the famous ParnelI

Times solicitor told in part the story of
the obtaining of the letters, the payment
for them, the submission of them to an
expert (who, we suppose, is to be called

"Crime in Ireland etc. With regard
TO the specially eliminating letter which
the Times published in fac simile and
which Mr.. Parnell promptly denounced
as forgery, the witness testified that he
believed it to be genuine,-the body of
it in the handwriting Of Mr. Parnell,s
secretary and the signature written by
Mr.. Parnell himself. As Solicitor
Soames was not called as an expert, his
personal belief on the point is not likely
TO carry very great weight.

places included in the list showed de-
crease in financial transactions, and at
three of those it was small-less than s

decrease of 60 per cent. but this is not a
fair index to the legitimate commercial

yet fully recovered from the reactionary
effects of it's wild speculative furry of a

The Dakotans have pursued a novel
mode of revenge against Governor
Church, with whom they are at swords
points, by expunging Church county
from the map and rechristening it Nc
Cormick county. To add to the bitter
ness of the insult, it happens that Secre-
tary Mccormick Is Governor Church's
most ardent political enemy. But even
this, it seems, has failed to bring the OBJ
streperous governor to terms. The con-
test is as bitter as ever and matters of
