TITS MCKINLEY AND HOBART.

The expected occurred at St.
Louis last week, and William McKin-
ley of Ohio was nominated for the
presidency with rush and great
majority. He received more than
two thirds of the votes on the first
ballot and hearty unanimous vote
after his majority was announced.
Garrett A. Hobart of New Jersey was
put in nomination for Vice President,
receiving very large majority on the
first ballot. Mr.. Hobart is very sue
cesful business man, has had the ad-
vantages of poverty in youth, arough
experience in acquiring his educa-
ton, gradual success in his business
start, and a greater and increasing
prosperity in worldly and business
affairs until he is one of the greatest
men in his state. For reasons New
York had to be out of the contest and
it seems best to take some eastern
man with record which would add
strength to the ticket. The platform
is an excellent one; it is strong for
protection, speaks for the gold
standard, and is firm for the Monroe
doctrine, the independence of Cuba,
and for just administration in re-
gard to pensions.

Newport, June %.

To England and America Behring
Sea has proved a sea of troubles. The
Feals, young and old, have been the
occasion of disputes, the mass of
which were settled by the Tribunal of
arbitration. There were few
cases, not eanvassed by the Tribunal,
which are now covered by a new
treaty. Though the convention was
concluded last February, the treaty
was only recently transmitted in
completed form by the President to
the Senate. The text, in nine arti-
|cles, recites the case and the condi-
|tions of treatment. The high con-
|tracting parties agree to refer the sew
|eral cases of alleged seizure to COM
mission of two, one chosen by each
nation, to meet in Victoria, British
|Columbia, and San Francisco, their
decision to be final. The cases in which
they fail to agree shall be reconsider
ed by the contracting parties and then
referred for final settlement to an UNI
pire. This treaty promises to remove
from the two nations all the Behring
Sea difficulties.

One can understand the canon of
the medical fraternity which forbids
advertising and the general attitude
of reputable physicians toward any
thing savoring of quackery. In pro-
fession SO intimately connected with
the public health and human life, it is
to be expected that conservatism and
certain forms Of etiquette would be
strictly adhered to. But it is difficult
for the lay mind to appreciate such
opposition as is now going on among
New York physicians to the trial of
Bellevue Hospital of promising
treatment for inebriety, the introduce
ton of which to the hospital has been
authorized by the Commissioners of
Charities. The medical men hold that
patent medicine should not be ad-
mitted to a city institution, the ques-
ton of it's efficiency seeming not to
enter upon the merits of the case. 1t
would appear to the unprofessional
mind that an effectual remedy should
be permitted, when prescribed by
physician in good standing, whether
it is patented or not. 1t would seem
that it's intrinsic merits should be it's
gauge. AS matter of fact, numerous
patent medicines have been accepted
by the profession and are regularly
prescribed by practitioners, who have
been forced to admit their usefulness.
If the conservative element would be
more liberal in investigating patent
medicines, it is likely that fewer
fraudulent or hurtful connections
would be on the Market rGUeler.

In the past, Germany has been a
great buyer of wooden stuffs, mostly
from England; but Mr.. Manhagan,
our consul at Chemnitz, draws the at
tention of the American government
to the efforts the German manufac
terers are now making to supply their
own markets. Though Germany will
still purchase from England and
France, the quantities are likely to
grow less with each year. Germany
has the skill, industry and capital to
meet the demands of her own peo-
pie.

llANIaI1fPORFANT MATTER.

Mr.. Editor.-It is currently reported and
appears to be fact that in the recent eau
bus in Charleston to determine who that
Town would present as a candidate for
County Senator, whether j. B. Holton or
DIR. G. s. Human, the issue was the school
#ystem, the town system VS.. the old dis
II riot system. Dr.Hinman has been known
from the first as a friend of the present
Fystem, and many voted against him in
hat caucus for that reason. 1t is said that
bIr. Holton was asked to define his posi-
may be incorrect. If so, they should be
corrected The voters of the county should
know the truth. Will not Mr.. Holton de-
line his position fully on this question?
I'VE do not believe the people of this coun-
ty desire now a repeal of the present law,
Ind return to chaos; they desire to give
he present system a fair trial, and with
bome needed amendments we believe the
General verdict will be in its favor strong
". 1t is certainly proper that the public
6hould know Mr.. Holton's true position
Ind then act accordingly.
We sent an article similar to this to the
Express and Standard last week, in order
hat more time might be given for, explain
htions, but that paper seems to have refus-
I'd us a place. Thinking that had not
asked anything unreasonable, and hoping
/ he MONITOR would not attempt to sup
press or prevent the free course of import
bnt public information, ask you to give
/ his place. Respectfully Yours,
d. M. CAMP.
