WHAT a MIG COUNTRY WE AXE.

Very few people have thought OF, or
rather seem to understand the vastncss
OF the United States, and fewer still
crease of population in this country from
year to year, unless the figures arc
brought TO their attention. The Manu-
facturers' Record III recent article
showed the wonderful growth of our
population, saying that in 1850 the popu-
iation was 501O0,000. and in 1890 1t was
$500, 000-an increase in ten years Of
l2,iO0,OOO. With a, similar ratio OF in
crease 1t says that In fifteen years we
will have something like 100000 900.
The same journal furnishes the infor-
nation that III 1850 the amount of cap
ital invested I'm manufacturing enter
prises was s2,790.272OOO. and this in
creased by 1896 to sG524.47O.OOO. The
number of hands employed in 1880 was
2,732, 900, and they received in wages
yearly s9iT 1853 900 In 1880 the number
of hands employed was l.7l1,S32. and
their aggregate wages was s2,2S2, S2S 900
When It is considered that there are
millions of people employed In other in
dustrics and trades outside of manu-
factures and that millions of dollars arc
paid In wages to them. one begins tC
form some idea of the greatness of thu
country. Besides. think of the vastness
of the country in the area of terri
tory, and think of what population w,
shall have should all of our cities ever
grow to be as big as London and Il:
thickly populated None of us will liv,
to see that day. to lie sure. but then
may this no, be the case before the en-
shall come?

and Boston speeches. Is entirely without
foundation. and the Minister character
lies the story as ridiculous
AS the Baltimore Sun remarks, there
Is no reason why the Ambassador
should give up his post because che
small minded politicians OF the Republi-
can party are trying to make party
capital out Of his utterances. Their
action has not the approval of broa j

that he should vacate his post 10 graft

MEDICAL ETHICS ARE QUEER.
The Wickedness of Advertising Depends
Upon Who Does 1t.

(Erom The London Truth.)
The anomalies, absurdities, and mys-
teries Of medical professional etiquette
with regard to advertising are strikingly
and amusingly illustrated by an action
which was tried at Manchester Assizes
On Friday.
Damages for libel were claimed by DR..
Kingsbury of Blackpool against medi-
cal journal which had charged him with
conduct wholly Incompatible with the
honor and dignity of the profession, +"
and held him up to "medical reproba-
tion" for allowing himself to be adyer-
tised as the physician of two hydropathic
establishments.
For the plaintiff several medical wit
nesse expressed the opinion that he had
done nothing unprofessional. For the
defense several other menu ers of the
profession tooG the opposite view, and Ii
was in the cross examination of two of
these gentlemen that the fun came in.
The first of them WAS Sir Dyoe Duck
worth. The plaintiffs counsel put to
him the fact that Sir B. W. Richardson
was advertised rs consulting physician
to an institution in Leicestershire. Sir
Dyce disapproved of this. 1t was then
pointed out that the witnesses own name
and his private address appeared on the
widely circulated prospectus of an insur-
ance company to which he was consult
ing physician. To that Sir Dyce could see
no objection.
The next witness was Sir W. 7. Stoker
He was asked what he thought of ply
sician's name and address being given in
an insurance prospectus. He said he
fh0nQh SO If will no
that Sir Dyce Duckworth condemned Sir
Is. W. Richardson, Sir w. 7. Stoker con-
demned Sir Dyee Duckworth, and both
agreed in condemning DR.. Kingsbury.
Having impartially considered the con-
fiicting views as to medical etiquette with
jury came to the conclusion that DR..
Kingsbury's professional character and
been unjustly aspersed. and awarded him
100 pounds damages.
1t has always seemed to me that there
is good deal of humbug about the OBJ
jections of the bigwigs of the medical
world to advertising. Nearly all are
guilty of the practice themselves in one
way or another, and some are as eager
for newspaper puff as the veriest quack.
What an interesting revelation there
would be, for instance, if the editors of
my daily contemporaries were to disclose
the sources of the paragraph which ap-
pear whenever some more or less distin-
gnished parsonage is i'll. and the name of
his doctor can be insidiously given the
benefit of little publicityl But some
how the heads of the profession have got
hold Of the idea that what may be light
and proper on their part may be wrong
and unprinoipled on the part Of humber
practitioners. The attacks which are
made upon the latter whenever they are
supposed to violate the proprieties of
the profession by advertising" will,
however, be somewhat risky after this
Manchester case.
