he then turned his attention to the In
dams. He would not discuss the policy OF
the Government, but he could not help re-
ferring to its snbecility in treating them as
a foreign nation. They had their pow
vows and war dances and were regular
pests. Look at the homes desolated, the
men massacred and women sacrificed by
the Indians. Sentimental gush was out OF
place in speaking OF them. What was
needed was strong policy. Yet one could
not help being attracted by these c1lidren
of the forest and plain. He spoke OF their

WEAvER's HOPES.

The spectacle OF candidate for the Presi-
cehcy making statements for effect which
he can hardly believe himself TO be trne ia
not inspiring. Should Mr. Harrison or Mr.
Cleveland say that they felt confident Of
election the sincerity of neither would be
questioned. Each has so much ground for
hope that conviction would not seem an i'm
possibility. But when Mr.. Weaver saws he
is sure OF an election it is hard to give him
credit for sincerity. Well-informed poll
ticlans who have no personal interest in
the matter DO not consider Weavers chance

eiuefation. No one. possibly excepting him.

There are two factions of newsboys in the
city. viz /: the uptown newsboys and the CITY,
front newsboys. They met last night at
937 Mission street. They were enthusiastic
and boisteroHs. The ferry newsboys ac-
cepjed an invitation and retired from the

eleeting the following officers: Robert
Bernard, presidents; Thomas Farrell,
vice president; Edgar Eisfelder, sec
fetary; Willie Tucker, assistant sec

What Doctors Cannot Do.

A strange address indeed is that de-
livered by Professor Hermann Moth
nagel, of Vienna, before the Association
of German Naturalists and Physicians.
Here is one of the most learned physi-
clans in the world talking to a body of
men only less scholarly than himself.
And what does he say?
This, for one thing: The various dis
eases of the blood, ailments that pass
through different phases and stages, the
innumerable host of diseases of the
nervous system ''to this time have fur
nished no more opportunities for real
cure than the soil of Alaska for the sue
cessful cultivation of the date palm"
Infectious diseases must run their
course and all the doctor can do is to
support the patient meanwhile by nour-
ishment and hygienic measures.
"Whichever way one turns he will
strike limits" Diseased conditions may
be arrested in their initiatory stages
sometimes, but after they have culmi-
mated never The pathological condi-
tions which cause calculus may be ar
rested sometimes, but after the calculus
is formed nothing but the surgeons
knife can take it away.
No doctor can cure malaria while the
patient remains in malarial districts
Alcohol, morphine and bromide relieve
temporarily the pain in certain diseases
but never stop the disease itself.
To sum up: Disease must heal itself
The painful symptoms of the sufferer
are natures effort to right the system
and put it to working correctly. The
doctor can only endeavor to sustain the
patient while nature does this work 'by
dietetical, hygienic and climatic inau-
ences; here by the removal of excitants,
there by methodical stimulation of the
matter changes of the nervous system"
