THE SOUTH STUNG.
It's Representative Democrats Feel That
the Crisp Insult Hits the section.

It's Representative Democrats Feel That
the Crisp Insult Hits the section.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Southern con-
gressmen are quite clannish. 1t was many
years before the Democratic caucus would
consent that southern man should be
permitted to be a candidate for Speaker.
II was urged that the fact that he was a
southern man would injure him before
northern Democrats. But they have fl
nally elected q southern Speaker. The
southern men, even those who are not
particularly friendly to Mr.. Crisp, feel
outraged at the action OF the Reform
Club.
They seem to apply TO their section the
insult as intended for them, and not
merely for Mr.. Crisp as an individual.
The result, which is already apparent, is
that the opponents OF Crisp in the man
agement of the Reform Club have over
shot their mark, and that they have con-
tributed more to the success OF Speaker
Crisp than they could had they resorted
to any ther tactics.
The southern men are particularly sem
sitive on all points OF honor. They at
tach great deal OF Importance to what
they consider the conduct of a gentleman.
And they denounce as ungentlemanly,
and as the violation OF the ethics of all
reputable club life, the treatment of
Speaker Crisp by the Reform Club on
Saturday night.
1t is possible that the Henry George
free traders, who so boastfully declared in
the presence OF Grover Cleveland that
they were on top in the Democratic party,
and that the next House must be organ
lied in accordance with their advanced
radical views, may have destroyed them
selves at the outset.

THAT INVESTIGATION.
Particular Work Assigned to the Ways
and Means Committee.


WASHINGTON. Dec. 14.-Speaker Crisp
got the leading members Of the ways and
means and appropriations committees
yesterday to agree that the Investigation
which representatives OF each committee
contended should be made by 1T. as to the
condition of the treasury and the pros
poets of the revenue. should be made by
the ways and means committee.
Accordingly, a resolution to that effect
went through the house subsequently
without objection.
Speaker Crisp and Chairman Springer
hope to make the results OF the inquiry a
basis for future tariff legislation. for they
still believe that in some way an extra
session in the spring will be brought
about at which such report by the ways
and means committee OF this congress
might be so utilized.
Those members OF the house who
know that Mr.. Cleveland does not pro-
pose to have a spring session Of Congress.
II he can help it, do not, of course, take
the same view of this proposed investi-
cation. The men who desire spring
session regard this investigation itself as
likely to aid them In thesr effort to get
one by disclosing sdch a state of the
finances as will make it absolutely neces-
sary.

WE LOVE MEDICINE.

Doctor Says That Americans Are n
Nation of Drug-Takers-
think Americans should be described
as a nation of medicine takers. The re-
turns from the sales of patent medicines
are astonishing, but no general practi-
toner is at all surprised at this, because
he has long since learned that hypo-
chondria exists almost universally, and
that medicine taking Is the great do
light of an enormous percentage Of
mankind, says a physician in the St
Louis Globe Democrat
One great object doctor should have
in view is to cure with as few doses as
possible, and believe that ninety-nine
out of one hundred medical students
commence practicing with this idea be-
fore them. If their experience is like
mine they have somewhat let down in
their efforts in this direction, and IL
they have unot done SO they have Ger
tainly offended quite large number of
patients
There seems little 10 choose between
the sexes in the matter Of o desire TO
take medicine regularly, and 1t is often
impossible TO persuade an apparently
rational-minded patient that a cure has
been effected, that no more medicine Is
needed and that nothing but good diet
and careful habits are required 10 build
up the constitution.
A number of doctors save themselves
from falling from grace by prescribing
a harmless tonic after effecting a cure,
but those who pride themselves in dis
posing of cases by aid of dozen doses
or less seldom attain any great popu-
larity.
The often quoted and much vaunted
practice in China Of paying physician
while his patient is well and stopping
his pay during sickness could never be
introduced successfully into this coun-
try, because so many people who are
perfectly well are prepared to file affi-
davits that they are dangerously sick,
that no doctor under the China regime
would be able to earn his board.
