Guard Medical Corps.

The regular monthly meeting Of the
Society of Homeopathic Physicians
and Surgeons was held at the Windsor
last evening. The paper of the even
ing was presented and read by DR.. B..
H. Ogden, on the subject of "PelvIc
Deformities." There was considerable
discussion over the bill recently in
troduced in the legislature by Senator
Cronkhite, which amends the act pas
sed in 1895 entitled an act to organize
a medical corps in the national guard.
Under the present law it Is claimed
that the homeopathic physicians and
surgeons are not recognized by the
surgeon general. The amendment to
the law makes it mandatory that
portion of the medical corps shall be
graduates of the homeopathic medi-
cal colleges.
The principal features OF the amend
ment which is urged by the homOeo-
pathic physicians and surgeons reads
as follows:
There shall be medical corps in the ma
tional guard of the state of Minnesota under
the direction Of the surgeon general, to con-
sist of one o. medical director. with the
rank of lieutenant colonel: five 90 surgeons
with the rank of major, and eleven Old as
sistant surgeons with the rank OF first lieu
tenant, except that an assistant surgeon, who
has served as such for five consecutive years
shall be eligible for promotion to the rank
Of captain, as hereinafter provided OF this
COTpS lnefe snail De commissioned by the
commander-in-chiefo Of the national guard
Of this state, the governor Of Minnesota
two surgeons with the rank of major, and
four assistant surgeons with the rank CT
first lieutenant, who shall be graduates Of
homeopathic medical colleges and duly ad-
mitted to practice medicine and surgery IN
the state of Minnesota, and the said medical
corps shall consist Of two-thirds Of allo-
pathic and one-third of homeopathic physi-
clans and surgeons, to be commissioned as
hereinafter provided. When any portion of
the national guard of the state of Minnesota
shall be by the governor ordered out for
duty service during the annual encamp-
ment for instruction or for parade, quelling

one-third of all medical officers detailed for
such service in encampment,. parade, to
preserve the peace with brigade, regiment
battalion company of infantry, bat
TALON or battery of artillery. under orders
and in service, shall be surgeons of the
homeopathic school of medical practice Of
said medical corps. Provided that in case
of an increase in the number Of state troops,
the number OF the medical corps shall be
enlarged in a ratio Of three medical officers
to a regiment and one medical officer for
single troop of cavalry or battery of artillery.
The bill is now in the hands of the
senate committee on military affairs.

MAY SLIP UP ON KING.
To-day, However, VIII See Markham
Corporation Attorney.


The meeting Of the common council
to elect James E. Markham corporation
attorney, and Joseph King superipten-
dent of police patrol telegraph, has
been called for 8 o'clock this afternoon.
The selection of a member Of the as
sembly for member of the board of
abatement, will also come up. At the
recent caucus Assemblyman Albrecht
was selected as the candidate for mem
Der of the board Of abatement 1t is
probable that the caucus nominees will
be given the places, although there is
some question as to whether the mem
berS who voted in caucus for King as
superintendent Of police patrol tele-
graph, will all stick.
Assemblyman Daily, being asked in
regard to whether the action of the
caucus in reference to the busting Of
Macaulay would be ratified by the
common council this afternoon, said:
L am rather inclined to think that
1t Will not. A great pressure, by mem
bers of organized labor, has been
brought to bear on the Republicans
and Democrats alike. In addition to
members of labor organizations, urg-
ing me to stand by Macaulay, was a
large number of Irish Americans, who
claimed that the Irish have not been
recognized by this administration, and
that Macaulay ought to, at least, be
left alone, being an expert in his line
and one who takes no part in partisan
politics. [ regret very much that the
nationality question ever made its de-
but in politics. but it has and does,
and will continue to until our public
schools are so conducted as to inculcate
into the pupils patriotism and the
beauties of American citizenship. An
other thing that is, to some extent,
brought into politics, is mans re-
hgion. That is mans own business
and not his neighbors. SO far as 1
am personally concerned l don't care
what mans religion is, as long as he
is a good American citizen, believing
in the uphOlding and maintaining OF
our American institutions at any cost.
L am not, however, a member of any
church, and 1 believe in the COM
plete separation of church and state
"Macaulay has been injustly assailed
and enormously, too. He is backed
by the best citizens in the city for the
place, and the only thing his enemies
have against him is that he is a
Democrat. That is a poor excuse 1T
seems to me, to discharge a man from
a position that ought to be kept out
Of partisan politics as long as the man
tends to his business and looks out for
the city's interest. Such a man is

to stand by the action Of the caucus,

man. Were it not for the pressure
brought to bear on me would stand
by the action Of the caucus There
are others who will do the same. 1t
would be better for all concerned to
let Macaulay serve until next March,
