A Text from Alabama.

There seem to be two classes OF critics to
whom the nomination OF Mr.. ADLAI E.
STEVENSON OF Illinois for Vice-President of
the United States Is unsatisfactory.
First. there are the Mugwumps. Some OF
these people are already manifesting great
mental perturbation for fear that STEVEN
son may prove drag upon the ticket.
Well. IL he is any drag at all. he will be
that very desirable sort Of brake which will
prevent the Democratic coach from tum-
bling to destruction of the precipice Of
Mugwumpery.
In the second place. our Republican
friends. the enemy. find fault with Mr..
STEVENSON because he Is not true friend
Of civil service reform. They like to call
him the Axeman or Hcadsman. When the
Republicans. however get on to this sub
ject Of civil service reform they would do
well to turn the strong search light OF truth
upon their own political performances
under the present Administration. AS an
illustration there Is before us public doc
ument. being Report No. l.747in the present
session Of the House OF Represent atives, In
which Mr.. ANDREW. from the Committee on
Reform In the Civil Service. sets out u few
interesting charges made by prominent
Republican leaders In Alabama concerning
the management of their own party In that
State. Here Is an extract:
Resolutions unanimously Adopted ~ hs Republican State C.~
ronion held In Montgomery, Ala. april rs. 1899.

In reading our New Orleans contempora.

In reading our New Orleans contempora-
ries we constantly discover evidences OF the
growing prosperity Of that great old American
city. We read Of tho increase Of its popula-
ton. of the enlargement OF its commerce. Of
the new enterprises undertaken by its citi-
zens. OF the introduction Of desirable indus
tries. OF projects for the erection Of public
works. and OF many other things that are very
encouraging.
We rejoice over every evidence OF tho devel-
opment OF the sunny city near the embou-
chure Of tho Mississippi. The city OF New
York salutes the city OF New Orleans! Nav
New Orleans flourish! The American people
are proud OF the Crescent City OF tho South.
Fortune and power to our honorable contem-
poraries printed there!

Once upon time. when tho English
statesman GLADSTONE was ask ed to speak ut q
dinner party he arose from his chair and told
the company that after-dinner speeches were
not in his line. SO we learn from narrative
in the London Caterer. written by oae OF GLAD
STONES admirers. Mr.. HOWARD PAUL
We are sure that this remark OF GLADSTONE
will be justified by any American who has
| ever heard him make an aftcr-dinner speech.
His speech on every such occasion is very GER
tain to be just what 1t ought not to be-a pro-
digious display OF erudition. or SOLEMN SER

Tho Privilege OF Medical Witnesses.
Section ss4 OF the Code Of Civil Procedure

Section ss4 Of the Code Of Civil Procedure
OF this State is in these words:
"a person duly authorized to practise physio
gerry shall not be allowed to disclose any inform Alton
which he acquired In attending patient in profes.
sional capacity and which was necessary to enable
him to act In that capacity"
Confidential communications to clergy
men and to attorneys and counsellors at
law are protected by similar provisions.
There are few subjects which our courts
are more frequently called upon to consider
than the claims Of witnesses and litigants
under these provisions relating to the
privilege Of professional men. So far
as physicians are concerned. the ten
dency Of the decisions has not been
by any means uniform. The courts
have seemed to incline at one time to great
strictness in shutting out testimony. and ut
other times they have manifested q dispo-
sition to open the door wider and exclude
nothing except what was confided by the
patient to the physician alone. and would
only be made known to the world II the ply
stefan were allowed to tell what he had
learned from the patient.
The present trend OF the decisions Is
toward less stringent application Of the
statute than has sometimes been insisted
upon. In q life insurance case just decided
by the Court Of Appeals. Chief Judge EARL.
speaking for all the Judges. declares that
there Is nothing In our statute to pre-
vent doctor from testifying that partic-
ular person was sick and was attended by
the witness as physician. The court also
held that q physician might testify as to
the date when he was called upon to attend
such patient professionally. and how
many times he attended. and whether his
visits were daily or hourly.
A case might easily be imagined in which
no evidence OF illness at all could be ad-
| duced except by such testimony as this
from a physician; and under these circum-
stances the knowledge OF the doctor Us to
the fact OF illness and its duration, as indl-
Gated by the number OF visits. would seem
to come within the literal prohibition Of the
statute. According to the Court OF
Appeals. however. while doctor cannot be
obliged to testify as to the nature OF per.
sons illness. no may be compelled to
disclose the fact that the person was i'll and
consulted him or called him rs physician
and he must also tell how long he continued
to see the patient professionally.

Tho New Chairman.

Tho Democratic National Committee has
selected Mr.. WILLIAM F. HARRITY Of Penn
sylvania to be Its Chairman. This Is the
place which used to be filed by Mr.. BEL
MOTT. and for the last four years it has
been filed by Mr.. BR1oE.
We have already stated some Of the OBJ
jections to Mr.. HARRITY's appointment.
In the first place. he has made himself ex-
ceedingly unpopular with the Democracy
Of New York There Is probably no man in
the country who Is so Objectionable to
them. Governor HILL especially has a
right to regard this promotion as an insult
TO himself: and we may be sure that In the
vast array OF Governor Hills devoted
friends. who are to be found In every part
OF this State. some will feel themselves dis
posed to resent 1t.
Moreover, Mr.. HARRrTY has had no expe-
Hence that can qualify him for tho task he
has now assumed. All that he knows Of
politics he has learned in Pennsylvania.
and even there he has never conducted q
State campaign. He has had control in
Philadelphia, and he has distracted and d.
vided the party. and brought the Democ-
racy OF the State into such q condition that
the Republicans now count on electing two
thirds Of both branches Of the Legislature.
and on gaining five members Of Congress
and giving HARRIsoN q larger majority
than BLAINE had in 1884.
But what 10 done Is done: and We can
only appeal to the Democrats Of New York
not to allow an event so disagreeable to
them to cool their ardor or check their Ia
bors In behalf OF tho Democratic cause. The
stake In this election Is far greater than 1t
has been In any other since the civil war. II
the Democracy are beaten. the Republicans
under the lead Of Gen. HARRISON will give
MS Force bill with all that 1t implies. In
the face Of such danger what matter is 1t
whether we like the Chairman Of the Ma
tionAl Committee or dislike himp Let the
, utmost be done to carry New York and
elect the ticket. No Force bill No Negro
