NOT DRFRNsELFss.,


 It has been the fashion for long time to think and to gay that this country has no coast defenses and that its coast is at the mercy of any foreign power which happens to take notion to attack 1t. But there is at least one prominent naval officer who does not choose to be- in the fashion in this re- spect. First, he says, the rife guns which are now being made at the Washington navy yard, and with which it is proposed to arm all our; monitors, excel all other guns in the world. They surpaas eall other guns In the material put in them, and they haysa greater initial velocity. Then there are oar monitors. The monitor, haa revolationized navel war fare. It is the model of the best fighting ship afoat to-day. One of it's advantages is the very small target it presents to the enemy. free board is not more than fourteen inches. It is good floating battery for harbor defense, and is just the thing for fighting in smooth water. While not invul- nerable, it is difficult to penetrate, its turrets being heavy and of small dimensions. It has no special speed, but Is easy to handle. Our other means of defense are torpedoes, which are exploded either by contact or fired from a station on the shore. The advan- tage of this means of defense is the speed and comparative ease with which these mines can be placed. Swift torpedo boats also can be used to advantage, having a speed of twenty-two or twenty-four miles, with noiselees engine.
 This is cheering. It indicates that we need not be scared to death while the other defenses that have been decided upon are being prepared,

MEDICAL EDUCATION.


 A report has been made by the Illinois and much that is interesting is to be found in 1t. It is cheering to see that there has been such decided advance made in the training of physicians during the last ten years. In 1882 there were bat 32 medical colleges in the United States that sxacted educational requirements for entering upon the study of medicine; in 1882 there were 101 out of 116; and now there are III out of 126. In 1882 there were but colleges in the United States that required attendance on three or more courses of lectures; in 1886 the number was 2S, in 1889 it was 34. and now 1t Is 51. The average duration of the lecture terms also has been notably in- creased. The good results accomplished may be asoribed to the state boards of health, to the practitioners of the three schools of med icine, represented in the American Medical association, the National Institute of Home- opathy and the National Eclectic Medical association, and to public feeling that the average doctor of the present day should know more than he does.
 There are altogether too many medical schools in this country, and not less than eight have been started during the last two years. It is small minority only of the present schools that are properly equipped for medical teaching, and the majority of our schools in order to get students must hold out inducements that cast Q stigma upon medical training and di- plomas in the United States. Fortunately some of the schools die. In the present Illi- nois report are named 149 extinct medical colleges, including eighteen that were fraud- ulent; there are yet living four fraudulent schools and three that have suspicion stamped upon them. This is the only coun- try on earth where there are more dead than living medical colleges. and the only one in which medical diploma mills flourish as bus iness organizations. Most of the new med- ical colleges are in the South, which is already rich in low-clsss medical colleges. Atlanta has four, and Louisville, which had four, now has five. In addition to its real estate boom, Chattanooga has a new medical college; Knoxville has one also; Memphis, which already had one too many, now has fun

Two HousehoId NuIsances.

A man wants to have 6 few hundred dol- lars worth of bric-a- brac to know what . nuisance an open cabinet is; he wants @ wife that will worry snd fret, and toll with ner- vous fingers to dust and keep fresh frail bits of bisque and falence which a servant would SO ruthlessly nick, to know what joy there is in glass door, what comfort in the in- closed sides of china closet, says the up- holsterer. The biggest nuisance the average housewife has to contend with is dust. One of these days some one will invent snug fitting mopboard moulding, which will cling close to the surbsse of room, where the carpet border joins it, and prevent the nest ing there of carpet beetles and moths, to say nothing of dust and shreds from the sweep ing. This point and the open cabinet are two nuisances to look out for.

 Obstinate nose bleeding Is frequently one of the most difficult things to check. Sev- eral aggravated cases have lately occurred at the hospital of the University of Pennsylva- nia. As as last resort Dr. D. Hayes Agnew tried ham fat with great result. Two large cylinders of bacon were forced well into the nostrils and the hemorrhage ceased at once.
 Among the many associations and leagues with eccentric titles that have come into existence in London of late years one of the most practical calls itself "The League of Kindness" This league, which has branches in various parts of London, concerns itself chiefly with providing clothes, which the poor may purchase at nominal prices. and toys for distribution among poor children.

 A man named Fields has just died near Danville, Kentucky, who, though sixty- seven years old, never slept night out of the house in which he was born, and never ate but one meal away from home. He was only twice outside of his native county, and then only for an hour each time. And he doubtless felt quite as much pride in all this as Stanley does in his African travels.

 A great deal of pity is felt in this favored land for the people of Germany who are go heavily burdened by the cost of their big military system. Our pension appropriation of last year, with the deficiency provided for by the present congress, amounts to a sum a little short one hundred million dollars, or about the same ss the annual ordinary cost of the German army. The Morrill, pension bill, passed by the house on Wednesdy by great majority, would, if it should become law, add to our present pension charges a sum estimated at about forty million dollars yearly, or considerably more than the Ger man army budget, including ordinary and extraordinary expenses.

IT is pleasing to find that Herbert p.
Rolfe regards rather favorable the TRI-
BUNE's suggestion that he be nominated
for state senator. OF his qualifications
we are sure that he has no doubt. He
deemed himself fit for probate judge in
1887 wheE sent to Helena to aid the Gas
cade county bill he readily consented to
accept office under it The party must not
do II. P. Rolfe the injustice of %supposing
that because he makes no personal can
vas he will decline. Indeed, we feel
warranted in saying that he will accept.
So if Dan Mckay and Will Hanks wish
to do a graceful act in favor CT a veteran
they will waive their claims until 1892
when they can have the pick of the nom

THE Inter Mountain of Butte sees fit
to say: "The Bozeman Chronicle rises
to remark that Helena is Mt part of east
ern Montana; the Great Falls papers
swear it is no part OF northern Montana;
the Missoula press %repudiates the idea
that it is western Montana, and the Dill
Ion Tribune is quite sure that southern
Montana doesn't want it. What a miser-
able, forlorn and deserted old town Hell
ena must be!' And for all that the In
ter Mountain would give the congress
man to Helena, which has already the
governor, two so-called senators, the as
say office, the land office and the chief
postofice. Does our Butte contemporary
suppose that we are still a territory and
that Helena is the hub of Montana? We
may not understand the intricacies of
Butte politics, but a newspaper is seldom
wrong in unfolding its W district and
the reputable politicians thereof.

FRIENDS OF LABOR.

In all the platforms of the season there
is probably none that will be so accepti-
BILE to workmen generally as the follow
ing extract from the democratic platform
of the Indiana democrats:
We applaud the eight hour law; IL law
to prevent "blacklisting;' u law prohib.
iting "pluck-me" stores; laws for the
protection of coal miners; and a law pre-
venting the importation of Pinkerton de-
tectives, and the repeal of the republican
Intimidation law of 1881. As manifesto
lions of the steadfast friendship of the
democratic party to w%orklngmen, We
point to these laws AS evidence that oul
friendship to American labor is not con
fined to words alone. We denounce the
employment of Pinkertons by the railroad
corporation in New York in the pending
contest with employ es, and hold it to b,
the duty of state and local officers every
where to prevent such usrrptation by
capital of the police power of the state
We are in favor of arbitration as the only
Just and fair method of settling labor
controversies, and we demand OF the mex,
legislature the passage of II law creating
a permanent tribunal OF arbitration fol
that purpose. We insist that labor has as
good a right to organize in behalf of pro.
lection as capital, and that labor organi-
cations should be placed on perfect
equality before the law with the orgapi.
cations of capital known as corporations
These sentence demonstrate what has
always been true, that the real labor
party of the United States is the demo.
cratic party. In its ranks labor finds
sympathy and protection.

THE Inter Mountain, which quotes per-
%sonally the opinion on silver OF II leading
democrat and would make the party re-
sponsible therefor, is earnestly invited to
watch the following declaration from the
Indiana democratic platform of August
30, 1890: "We denounce the silver bill,
so-called. recently enacted, as an ignomin-
ious surrender TO the money power. II
perpetuates the demonrtlzation of silver
and the single gold standard, whereas the
interests Of the people require the com
plete reconciliation of silver and Its res
toration to perfect equality with gold in
our coinage. We demand the free and
unrestricted coinage of silver upon the
basis existing prior to 1873" We give
the date because 1t is in the light of today
that men and principles Of both parties
should be judged. 1t Is not what men
said and did some years ago, but what
they would do now that concerns the peo-
pie.

"The Festival of Labor" as Labor day
might be called, was celebrated with due
honor yesterday here. At an early hour
the streets bore a holiday aspect. The
sons of toll in Sunday attire exchanged
hearty greetings and prepared to spend
the day pleasantly. The motor line en-
joyed much public favor. Workmen
and their families took trips over that
Belt route in large number. The banks
and most of the large business houses
closed at noon. The liberated clerks
added to the number of pleasure seekers
and as the day advanced the streets be-
came very crowded. Many people as
sembled ut the railroad, where the mel
odious strains Of Germ & Davenport's

town was more orderly throughout
the day and evening. Every one conced.
ed that Labor day was a success.
