have been a peaceable and law
abiding citizen of this city since the
opening and have never carried any
kind of weapon, my name does not ap-

were outrageous in the extreme to be
publicly searched without any au-
thority of law, there having been no
complaint made in writing and in the
absence of any warrant issued upon
which such search could be lawfully
made.
Have we any rights that these petty

anything be had said in supporting the
bill should be misunderstood by the

apology for tho language just used or
the matter would come before the
house He would allow nobody to
talk that way to him.

Foolish ECONOMY.

The case of the battle-ship Indiana.
which is about to be sent to Halifax to be
locked by her builders, illustrates in
most forcfble way the silly economy that
Is often practiced by Congress towards the
naval and military establishments of this
country. 1t Is one thing to build q strong
modern navy, and another thing to provide
sufficient accommodations for its care and
repair. How awkward 1t would be for the
United States to be in sudden need of
great dry-dock in case of disagreement
with Great Britain! With the port of Hall
fax closed to our vessels. there would be
absolutely no place for these monsters of
the sea. They would soon become useless
except as harbor boats; floating batteries,
incapable of use beyond a days run from
Store; mere hulks fitted with great gums
No navy is complete without an equip
ment Of docking facilities sufficient to take
In the largest of Its vessels. 1t would be
about as futile to provide hundred war
ships and not authorize the employment of
a single sailor to man them. The New
York dock Is so shallow that it Is difficult
to get the Columbia over the sill. The
great dock at Port Royal is practically
useless except to the smallest of the Ships
owing to the presence of a sand-bar near
the entrance that can be removed only at
enormous expense. The next Congress
should appropriate literally for a great
dry-dock that would accommodate not
only the largest ships now afioat, but the
largest that may be built within a quar-
ter Of a century or more, and locate it at
some point where 1t will be safe from the
enemy and yet convenient to the coast
Washington. with the Potomac improved
as it should be. would be an ideal location
for such dock.

Scrutiny of Drugs.

From one place and another word comes
occasionally that the country is being over
whelmed with drugs This is the hey-day
of patent medicines" and the shelves Of
the druggist are filled with an entirely diff
ferent class of stock from that which he
carried few years ago. Not only the drug
gist. but the physician. Is complaining that
there is too much self-doctoring. The cheap
processes of manufacture have enabled
chemists to flood the market with nos
truns, specifics and cure-alls. that are in
tended to supplant the regular practitioner
Of medicine and to enable the poor patient
to remedy his own Ills. 1t Is to be feared
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1895-09-17

that the danger Of this new era in materia
medica overbalances the good that comes
from the ease with which common rem
edies may be obtained by the poorer peo-
pie. It Is q fundamental fact In medicine
that the personal element Is in reality the
strongest factor In disease, and that con-
stitutional differences usually explain the
reasons for cure In one case and fall
ure In another while the diseases are prac-'
tically of the same nature. These consti-
tutional differences cannot be manifest to
any but the intellects that are trained to
detect just such elements in disease. 1t is
therefore dangerous for the amateur physi-
clan to prescribe, especially as there is
little care exercised, comparatively speak
ing, in the preparation of the alluring
wrappers and descriptive instructions that
accompany the nostrums that are within
such easy reach. There is probably great
virtue in many of the specific remedies
that are placed on the market, and doubt
less much good is wrought by their use but
unquestionably the public health would be
safer If there could be some national SUI
pervision over the preparation of these spe
cifics and of the literary matter that ac-
companies them to the hands of the con-
sumer In fact, there Is such a governmental
remedies in Germany, and the system has
been productive Of the best results. The
plan to be followed will not be complicated
nor severe on the largest Of the drug-pro-
ducing manufacturers, who would doubt
less welcome the change from the present
system of indiscriminate chemistry and ad
vertisement. A national commission or
board attached to one of the executive de-
partments here at Washington should be
given the authority to make chemical
analysis of all patent products. and to
stamp them with their approval or disap-
prevail. Secret processes and formulate
would Of course be protected Of necessity,
but a system of Endorsement could easily
be devised to enable the government to
characterize in an official and unmistak-
able manner the exact value Of the COM
modify. The manufacture and sale of re-
medal agents without the official approval
should be punished. The hardship of such
a system would fall upon the fakirs, the
manufacturers of dangerous goods and the
producers of cheap and worthless imita-
lions Of staple articles. While there might
be some objection to interfering with the
prerogative Of the people to dose them
selves by restricting the output Of dan
gerous remedies, the ultimate effect of such
legislation would undoubtedly be beneficial
