THE RIVAL SCHOOLS.

The "irregular" physicians have
combined and excluded the ''repu-
lars" from all the offices of the medi-
cal board. IL will strike the aver
age citizen that by taking this step
the irregulars have done precisely
what they denounced the regulars
for trying to do, when they were
fighting the first medical bill intro
duced in the legislature. After
working up a fund Of public SYM
pathy, and obtaining the passage Of
a bill that was supposed to embody
the principles of fairness, they com
blne, and by reason of superiority of
numbers, proceed to grab every
thing In sight
Perhaps II the legislature could
have forescen this game of grab, 1t
would have passed measure quite
different from the present law.
1t will not take the irrcgulars
long to learn that they have made
an error. The weight of public sym
pathy will now be with the all,,-
pathists, aud the irregular combina-
tion will probably discover that they
have hurt their own cause.
These squabbles between the rival
schools are not calculated to inspire
public confidence and respect for the
medical profession. There Is danger
that By and 10y the people will begin
to place some faith In these declara-
tions and counter-declarations of the
inefliciency of the rival schools.
That effect would have been appa-
rent ere this, did not illness make
towards of us all.
No long ago the national assocla-
tion of one Of the schools OF medi-
cine held its annual convention in
San Francisco, and one OF the papers
there discussed was "Climatic Ef-
fects on Consumption" During the
discussion of that paper the widest
diversity of opinion was developed.
Some Of those in attendance asserted
that high attitudes We're best for
consumptiyes; others preferred the
sea level. Some favored the dry
climate of the interior; Others pre-
ferred the moist climate of the sea
shore. some advocated sea voyages,
but this was also disputed. Now
all of these diversities were among
physicians of one school. Where
there is such IA wide difference of
opinion In the profession, is it not
natural that many people should be
deceived by quacks, who stick to n
single dcclaratlon-that they can
cure the patient?

GENERAL PRINCIPLE.S.

When jurors disabuse their minds
Of belief that IL man must kill
three or four of his fellow men bc.
fore he should be punished, we shall
hear Of fewer murders. Too often
the commission of an atrocious or
unjustlfiable murder Is followed by
the plea that the homicide had nev-
or killed u man before, and therefore
the machinery Of the law should be
stopped, and he turned loose with
out the infiiction of punishment. 1t
matters not what may have been
the career of the offender: He may
have kept vile resort, and been en-
gagged In the violation of the laws of
the land at the time he killed his
man. If he can show that this was
his first victim, even though that
victim may have been debauched by
himself, up goes more or less of this
false plea of morbid aud danger
GUS sympathy, Ii Is well to pom
der upon these matters and to look
ut them In the light Of reason
and experience. What proper
ton of those who once shed
human blood pause there? That
Is n question that every reader can
answer for himself. Who has not
heard 1t asserted as truism thai
man Is like n tiger I'm his thirst for
blood; that once the stain of muir
der is dyed into his soul he becomes
more dangerous and morbid than
ever before, and seldom halts until
he has repeated the crime? Expert
ence only serves to make him more
wary, and 10 teach him new tricks
In the evasion of the meshes of the
law.
There has been too much of this
dangerous sympathy In the past. A
man who kills fellowman is either
justified In that act, or he is not
justified. The law says he is
justified II his life was In danger, or
he was In danger of great bodily
harm at the time of the deed. II he
was insane, then he was not respon-
slble for his act, and should be COM
mitted to an asylum. Otherwise,
the only question for determination
Is the measure of his oiIense and the
character and extent of his punish-
ment. These are well-establislied
principles of law, and they ought to
oe known and needed by every citi-
zen.
In every prosecution of a murder
trial the antecedent character of
neither the accused nor the victim
cuts any figure when the factum
of guilt has been established, and
every prosecution should be dis
posed of regardless of any such mis-
leading plea.

THE JNDLN.

Slowly but surely the Indian is
taking on the customs and babila-
ments of civilization. Although
the red man aud the coppcr-colorcd
sauaw have long been wearing gar
ments fashioned after those worn by
the whites, they take not kindly to

IGNORANCE OR MALICE.

When thcbIinneapolls Tribune as
serts that three-fourths of the popu-
lation OF Washington Is concentrated
in the cities and larger towns, and
that this state has little land directly
available for agricultural purposes,
and that Is very sparsely settled, 1t
II either talking about II subject that
is entirely Beyond its depth, or IL Is
seeking u check the stream of i'm
migration by false declarations about
this state.
Those familiar with the bright
prospects Of Washington (aud they
were never brighter than at the pres
enU will be amused by the efforts of
the Tribune to check the confidence
Of Eastern investors and home-seek-
ers in the future growth OF the state.
The assertions, coming as they do
from city that has suffered more
or less by reason of the change in
the current of Immigration that is
now so well diverted toward the Pa
citic Northwest, are entitled to small
weight. 1t ~ natural that Mime
apolis should look with disfavor
upon the prosperity of Washington
natural but not generous. She has
enjoyed the vivifying effects of the
stream Of Immigration so long that
her people had begun to entertain
the belief that they possessed II sort
of preemptive right to 1t.
When the census returns are In
they will appear quite different
from the imaginary statistics conf
piled In the editorial rooms of the
Tribune. They will show that not
one-half of our people live In the
towns. They will also show that there
are remarkably few idle men about
the cities, and that instead OF taking
years of the future for the mcchan-
les and laboring men now here to
obtain steady employment, the sup
ply right now falls short of the de-
mand. They will also show that In
addition to supplying the home de-
mand the farmers Of Washington's
fertile soil are sending grain and
flour to Europe by the shipload, and
this in the face of the fact that the
home demand in this state Is much
more active than In "a purely agrl-
cultural state, because we have to
supply thousands Of miners, lumber
men, cattlcnen and manufacturers.
In this connection it is proper and
Just to ask the Tribune to answer a
simple little question. II, rs IL as
scrts, our cities are throngcd by Idle
men, for whom there will de no en-
ploymcnt for years, how are we to
explain the fact that the mechanics
and laboring men Of Washington
are receiving higher wages all
around than are being paid In Min
nesotn? The law Of supply and de-
mand regulates these matters to n
nicely. And perhaps the Tribune
can tell us why wages are higher to-
day all over this state than they
were two, three or four months after
the great fires ut Spokane Falls, Sc
attic and Ellensburgh? Until the
Tribune can offer u satisfactory ex-
planatiou of these facts, the general
public will be justified In entertain
Ing belief that the Minneapolis
paper docs not know what IL Is talk
ing about.

RELIGIoUS AIBERTY.

The supreme court of the United
States will soon bc called upon, for
the first time, to pass upon the con-
stitutionality of the Sunday laws.
II. Nj. King, citizen of Tennessee
is n member of the Seventh Day
Adventist church, Christian de-
nomination that holds as one of its
articles Of faith the observance of
Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath, in
place Of sunday, Mr.. King is n
farmer, and was indicted for quietly
working on his Gown promises. At
the trial II was not shown that any,
body had been disturbed, but the
strained moral sense of the commu-
nifty had been shocked by seeing
work performed on Sunday.
The defendant was first fined SO
and costs by a justice of the peace,
which fine he paid. Then he was
indicted by the grand jury of Obion
county, aud on his second trial was
convicted and fined s75. The Ma
tional Religious Liberty Association
then came to the rescue of King, and
the case was appealed to the supreme
court of Tennessee, which affirmed
the decision of the lower court. The
case now goes to the supreme court
OF the United States.
No contest of deeper Importance
has been carried to that tribunal
within n quarter Of century. The
REVIEW does not hesitate TO stamp
1t with the true stamp and to de-
nounce II as an assault, by sectarlan
bigots, on the great principle OF re-
ligious liberty. We greatly mistake
the spirit OF the American people If
they fail to speak out quickly and
sharply; and we shall be surprised
IL the supreme court of the United
states fails to ovcrrule the decision
of the lower court and hand down
nm opinion that will forever estab-
lish that principle, and render il
safe from the assaults Of bigotry and
intolerance. In all America there
Is not class OF people more law
abiding or God-iearing than arc
