Indications of More Active Business in

The movements in the Washington financial
market during the week were principally in

dends and a casting around for reiayestments.
While transactions were as limited as hereto
fore. there are signs of little awakening.
What business was done showed the firm
ness Of the market. ana when taken in con-
nection with the bid and ask d prices reflects
q decidedly sanguine sentiment.
Rates for money remain unchanged at 8
per cent. for call on collateral loans and
per cent. on mercantile discounts.
The showing OF the Washington banks at
the close Of 1894 Is an excellent one. The
National Metropolitan Bank and National
Capitol Bank showing especially large In
creases in deposits.
Local merchants report large volume ot
Christmas trade. fairly satisfactory because

speaking of "ouacks.,

EDITOR TIMES: In your paper of January 2,
I find an article headed, ''Driye Out Quacks, :"
also an editorial based upon the article The
first purports to be an interview with DIR.
Woodward. Permit me to offer some crit-
cisms upon the statements of DR.. Woodward.
And first, l desire to ask who are quacks?
The dictionary definition is "a boastful pre-
tender to medical skill; an empiric." Accept
ing this definition as correct physicians of
all schools are quacks, whatever their preten-
sions to medical lore may be, for the reason
that medicine is not an exact SCIENCE but
simplya system OF empirIcism. or experiment.
Is it proper that one class or school of quacks
should be permitted by law to monopolize the
business of experimenting on the people and
the profits arising from the business. to the
exclusion OF others who possibly may be su-
perior TO them in those natural gifts with
which all true physicians are endowed?
The present dominant school of medicine,
allopathic, is founded upon the dogma that
to cure one disease it is necessary to create
another of different sort, hence the most
potent poisons are relied upon as the chief
medicines. This being true, it is important
that they should be thoroughly educated in
the matter of how much OF their deadly poi
sons they dare to give. But if physician
does not give poisops at all; but, instead, re-
lies upon the curative powers of nature and,
perhaps such simple remedies as act in har-
mony with the laws of the human system his
quackery is not very dangerous.
Plumbers, druggists, and dentists cannot
be properly classed with physicians, as the
business of each of these is more nearly a
scientific art; hence there can be some rule
by which their qualifications can be deter
mined such as does not apply to physicians.
Physicians however. who compound their
own prescriptions ought to be up in phar-
macy and toxico!ogy, as in that respect he is
exercising the functions of a druggist. The
illustration, therefore, given in the interview
is iar-fetched and faus as an argument
DR.. Woodward is made to say that the three
medical societies of this city are unit as to
the necessity of regu,ujng the practice of
medicine, the only question being one of
method. This is true; but the method of the
Eclectic Medical Society differs radically from
that of the Allopathic and Homeopathic So
cieties. The Eclectics favor entire freedom to
all schools of medical practitioners, and ask
that each individual practitioner shall be held
to strict personal responsibility for any act
of malpractice or mistake they may make,
and that the courts of the District, instead OF

Daniel, as we all know, passed some time
in lions den and came out unscathed. But
not even Of Daniel is it reported that he wrote
poetry while he remained in the uncomfort-
ably near neighborhood of the noble beasts.
In this respect Sig. PolRzzi, an enterprising
Florentine journalist. has gone one better
than Daniel. By way of advertising his paper
he undertook to enter a cage containing four
lions. and TO write there ''ritornello' on any

WAITING FOR THE HOUSE,
Senate Committee Anxious to Close in on
the Union Pacific.

the Union Pacific.
Washington, Jan. 8.-The senate COM
mittee on Pacific roads today heard a
statement by E. Ellery Anderson, one
of the government directors Of the Un-
ion Pacific railroad, with special ref
erence to the possible foreclosure Of
the first mortgage and it's effect upon
the governments interest. The COM
mittee decided to take no action until
after the house shall act, but viii then
be prepared to deal with the question.
The members Of the committee We're
generally of the opinion that the Ques-
ton was Of sufficient urgency to JUS
tify its immediate consideration and
little room was left for doubt that it
would be taken up but for the general
feeling that any action Of the senate
committee or the senate itself would
be futile unless the house had already
acted. 1t was stated that bills We're
already in course of preparation for
the foreclosure of the first mortgage on
the Union Pacific road because of the
default in the payment of interest and
the opinion was freely expressed that
unless some action should be taken
at this session the United States would
ment in the road. Efforts will now be
directed towards securing action by
the house and it is stated thatthe house
committee on rules has virtually
agreed to give the Pacific railroad COM
mittee day in the house soon after
the disposition Of thee urrency bill.

Grand Jury Thought to Have Dealt Cent?

washington Court House, o. Jan. s.
The Fayette county grand jury is now
hearing the evidence bearing upon the
so-called riot of October Il. when troops
were called out by Sheriff James F.
Cook TO protect William Dolby, d ne
gro rapist killed five citizens and
wounded twenty others. The coroners
verdict declared the killing unjustifia-

on Sheriff Cook and Colonel A b. Colt,
Of Columbus, commander OF the troops
1t was the general belief here that
Cook and Colt would be indicted for
murder of manslaughter, but that i'm

SEES MILITARY GRANTS IN 1T.
Anti-Revolutionary Bill to the Emperors
Hand in any Event.

Berlin. Jan. S.-The reichstag reas-
sembled. today and resumed the de-
bate on the anti-revolutionary bill.
Herr Auer said that the government
introduced this measure so that in
event Of its expected rejection there
would be a pretext for a dissolution of
parliament, in order to obtain from a
new parliament increased grants for
military purposes.
The reason assigned for not intro
ducing the bill, that the existing penal
laws were inadequate, was not war
ranted. Auer declared that such ar
guments were always used when if
was intended to curtail the liberties of
citizens. The anti-revolutionary bill
he insisted, was solely directed against
the social Democrats. Auer concluded
with the assertion that the Agrarians.
anti-Semites and lineal theologians
could be easily struck by the bill. Not
every one agreed that thre was neces-
sity for protection Of the monarchy.
Large numbers of Germans, he added.

rule. which betokens national decaden-
cy. The debate on the an-revolutiona-

WOULD DO MOST ANYTHING.
However, Senator Jones Doubts If There's
Patriotism Enough.

Washington, Jan. S.-There has been
more financial talk about the senate
today than at any time during the ses-
sion. 1t has been stirred up a great
deal by the recent publication in the
newspapers of various schemes of cur
rency reform and the near approach of
a vote in the house on the pending bill
Senators who have predicted rather
freely heretofore that there would be
no currency legislation, talked in a
more favorable way today and limited
at a possibility that something might
be done, though they did not know how
or what.
Senator Jones of Arkansas, a member
of the finance committee, was asked if
he was not Of the opinion that there
was no possibility Of currency legisla-
ton.
Possibility" he answered. well,
now, / will say that this is my view.
do not think that there is any prob
ability of legislation. 1t is possible.
however, that conditions may arise
which will bring men of very diverse
views together on common ground and
that legislation without political or
personal advantage, purely patriotic
in its nature, might be enacted. l do
not think this probable. For my own
part, l would sacrifice a great deal to
SCI Ou Tic STOunO.
Even TO the acceptance Of a bond
issue?"
Yes, even to a bond issue"
What else would be necessary"
We would have to do something for
silver. We could not legislate in the
currency question without doing some
thing for silver"
DO you consider the necessity great
for currency legislation"
Most emphatically. Thee ondition
OF affairs, though, may induce the SEN
ate to do something, may induce the
house to accept something, that will
tide the country over"
Senator Jones said that this feeling
was shared by many other senators.
1t is such sentiments as these which
nave been freely expressed today that
mas given an indication or inclination
toward some financial legislation as il
seems possible
