An Old-Fashioned Statesman.

+. It Is apparent that various influences.
some sinister. some merely hostile. are at
work to prevent II possible. the reappoint-
ment OF the Hon. WILLIAM STEELE HOLMAN
as Chairman OF the House Committee Of
Appropriations. Mr.. HOLMAN has not
stood in the way Of jobs and spendthrift
appropriations for SO many years without
making great many enemies. These en-
mites. created by his adherence to the pol
icy Of economy. are as high an honor as any
Democratic statesman need ask for.
An Irresistible wave Of extravaganza, In
fact the rehuence OF the tidal wave OF the
first Billion Congress. overwhelmed Mr..
HoLMAN's efforts for moderate appropria-
tons In the Fifty-second Congress. He was
not sustained by his party. He was not
able to get fulfilled the promises to which
he had comInitted his associates.
In the presence OF an embarrassed treas
ury and Of grave general financial excite
ment and distress. the necessity OF econ
omy will be more than ever urgent upon
Congress. After the lessons OF adversely.
the Democrats will see. 1t Is to be hoped.
the Importance OF retrenching expenditure
and stopping waste. The disappointment Of
Mr.. HOLMAN would be an earnest OF econ
omy. a sign not to be falsified. as 1t was In
the last Congress. by the size OF the appro-
priation bills. Mr.. HOLMAN can be depended
upon to keep these bills down IL the Demo-
Gratis will support him.

Medical Men as Witnesses.

A remarkable law concerning the ex-
animation OF medical men as witnesses In
negligence suits went into effect in this
State at the beginning OF this month.
Itrelates to the testimony Of physicians or
surgeons who are attached to any hospital,
dispensary. or other charitable institution.
Who're such man Is required to testify In
all action for the recovery OF damages for
personal injuries. IN respect OF informa-
ton which he acquired in attending a
patient at the particular institution to
which he Is attached. the new statute
requires that the testimony shall be
taken before a referee instead Of being
given In court before the Judge and jury,
as has always heretofore been the practice.
However, the Judge OF the court In which
the case Is pending is empowered at any
time. Notwithstanding the fact that the de-
position OF the medical man was taken bo-
fore referee to mako an order requiring
his examination upon the trial.
Tho precise purpose OF this change In
legal procedure in reference to medical wit
Eo-srs is not plain. Probably, however. the

idea OF the Trainer Of the law was to relieve
hospital surgeons and physicians from the
burden OF having to attend court at hours
when 1t lie inconvenient for them to
leave their duties at these institute
tions. But 1t is to be noted that moth
ing is said in tho statute about the place
where the referee is to take the testimony.
and 1t might we'll happen that 1t would be as
difficult for a doctor to obey summons to
appear before q referee at his office as 1t
would be to obey similar summons to at
tend court.
One objection TO tho new practice con-
templated by this statute is that 1t will
compel juries In many cases. so far as the
evidence Of doctors is concerned. to render
their verdfcts upon dispositions which are
read to them. instead OF upon the oral testi-
mony Of witnesses given in open court. Tho
appearance Of witness. his demeanor. and
his manner OF testifying, always afford the
utmost aid to an intelligent Jury In passing
upon his credibility and the weight which
ought to be given to his testimony; and 1t
is a serious matter to withhold this add and
to substitute evidence which 10 read by
lawyer from a written or printed document,
for the evidence OF the witness given by his
own word OF mouth in the presence OF the
court. AS has we'll been said by an eminent
Judge. "all witnesses look alike In print"
We suppose it may be argued In support
Of this enactment. that physicians and sur
geons ought not to be called away from i'm
portant cases where life Is at stake. In order
to dance attendance in the courts. often
times unnecessarily by reason OF the re-
peated postponements Of trials. No doubt
there Is force in this suggestion.
but we think 1t will be found upon
inquiry that our courts are very indul-
gent toward physicians whose engage
ments render 1t difficult for them to attend
at any particular time. and that adjourn
ments are often granted and testimony is
frequently taken out Of order 80 as to ena-
BILE doctors to appear as witnesses without
detriment to their practice.
But. II it be true that medical men re-
quire the protection Of such a statute. why
Is 1t confined in Its operation to such OF
them only as are connected with hospitals.
dispensaries, and charitable institutional
1t would seem that these doctors are the
very ones who could most easily obtain
assistance and find others to take their
places In case Of an enforced attendance in
court. while the private practitioner. who
has no hospital work. might find 1t very
difficult at short notice to procure the aid
OF another physician or surgeon to look
after critical case under his charge.

We are not familiar with the Illinois
StlGraoisL but we are disposed to think well
OF 1t, since 1t contains a fable concerning a
certain island infested by donkeys whose con-
tinuous braying disturbed the peace:
"a valiant knight who heard of them said to his
fellows: Come let away and stay these pesfsrous
braying donksys. SO that the island may have rest.
So each brave man buokled his trusty sword. aud
away they went. When they landed on tho island
they were met by OF its wise mon. who on learn
ing the intention Of the knight warned him that tina
donkeys were immortal and could not BIO killed 'whatr
said the knight. DO you tell me that and my brave
men cannot silence these donkeysr Forthwith the
knight and his laid about them. right and left

they win be alive tomorrow. But replied the knight

pleasure, the same as If they were not there"
There Is pretty nearly as much judgment in
this fable OF the Illinois .Su6raOist as In any OF
the fables OF the immortal EsoP.

The Economic Revolution.

we.copy elsewhere this morning some
statements. chiefly from Republican
sources. which are designed to show that
tho election Of Mr.. CLEVELAND and the
economic revolution involved In the estab-
lishment Of the principle briefly expressed
in the phrase. Taxation for revenue only"
are directly responsible for the tremendous
storm in business and In industry which
has ragged during the last three months.
We do not admit by any means that this
enormous calamity is due to these causes
and to no others. But suppose 1t really were
SO: What then2
When in November. 1892. the people Of the
United States. by an overwhelming major
ity. declared their approval Of the doctrine
proclaimed at Chicago that according
to the Constitution Of the country.
no taxes can rlghtfully be levied
for any purpose except for revenue
only. and coupled with this the further
declaration that protection Is fraud,
robbery Of the many for the benefit OF the
few. they inaugurated q principle and
revolution which in the initial stages OF
their realization must be attended by
symptoms OF pain and distress. the same as
every other great natural event. The
old methods were condemned to be banished
and to die out: the new methods were
clearly expressed and described; and the
solemn order was given that they should be
introduced and established. Now, while no
one except the fanatics Of Republicanism.
can maintain that all the evils the countryis
at this moment suffering from. are the result
OF last November's voting. he must be a
double coward and treble fool who would
expect or admit that the work should be
left in Its present incomplete condition be-
cause Of the unfavorable circumstances
which have appeared.
No; there can be no turning back without
shame: there can be no compromise with
out dishonor. The revolution must be car
ried through. The experiment must be
completely. fairly. and lastingly tried; and
the people who have decreed that this shall
be done. must confide in the blessings that
will result from the new system to compen-
safe them. and more than compensate them.
for the Inconvenience which attend the
early stages Of the mighty change.
