road built. We think they do; it is only
a question of ways and means. But
really where the State pays about half
the whole expenses of constructing a
model road. the idea of any hesitation
or quibbling as to the county bearing
the remainder of the cost is ridiculous,
more especially as the State is to take
and maintain that road when once
built, thus relieving the county of a
considerable cost, and one that prom
ises to grow larger unless a permanent
road is built on that line by someone.
But the sum needed is so small that
distributed over all the county it will
be trif1ing in it's items. Consequently
the county should act at once and let
work begin on the actual process of
construction early next fall, as can be
done, If there are no obstacles thrown
in the way. At least the construction
of the roadway should begin not later
than next spring. Meanwhile there is
no reason why the title to the right Of
way shall not be cleared up, the con-
veyances made the engineering done,
the plans for the bridges drawn and the
stone for them cut. All that can be
accomplished prior to building the road
itself

1t is well known that the provision
for our Ministers and Consul Generals
abroad is so narrow that most of our
all the time. In other words, America
does not maintain herself abroad with
honor, so far as the ornamental ana
social sides are concerned. Our Minis
tiers can scarcely be hospitable so closely
are their funds scaled down.
In our navy it is the bitter complaint
of the officers that not enough is allowed
them for entertainment of visiting dignl-
taries, and for ceremonial and social
purposes, to do the honors Of a thirty-ton
yacht Some of the naval officers have
said that a large part of their naval pay
has to go to meet these social demands
for which the Government should pro-
vide.
The result of this niggard character
positions only to the rich, who can afford
to supplement them with private wealth
when the position ought to be such that
the poorest man in the land could feel
warranted in aspiring to the places.
When Austria entertained the Postal
Congress it set a pace that makes our
entertainment to-day of that body ap-
pear threadbare and dusty. Excursions
took the delegates over a good part OF
the empire, they were shown the indus
trial centers, the most productive re-
gions, the best cities, the collections of
art, the great mechanical centers, the
museums of natural history, the mines,
the railways, the rivers and the business
markets. They were taken into the
Austrial Alps and spent three days
there One enthusiastic delegate on that
occasion shouted, This is noble and
grand What entertainment. But wait
until we go to America and see her Won

and outside of planked-shad dinner, a
trip down the Potomac, visit to the
Treasury Department and a social meet
ing with precious few people present, the
delegates from the great nations of the
world may be sent home with very
| little knowledge of this country and
only a mean conception of its hospitality
extent and resources-all which is not
lflattering to American pride. 1t is still,
hoped that several of the big railway
companies will open their hearts and
take the delegates to Niagara, over the
Blue Ridge, to the great lakes and to
some of the leading cities and show them
something of the general character of
the middle West and the East and New
England But this is all in doubt. The
truth is, it will be wise to take our guests
so far that they will get a correct i'm
preston of our resourceful strength.
What they will see in and about Wash

idea that we are weak where we are
strong.

Will science never pause in it's dis
closures and its warnings to "be on
guard? Now about one out of five
people have at some time or other, or
are now, afflicted with some form Of
rheumatism; it is believed that one in
twenty have it to an uncomfortable ex-
tent, while one in fifty have it with
more or less severity. If, therefore,
fectious, we must stand clear Of our
rheumatic friends and acquaintance,
and no more serve them by massage of
their sore joints and aching muscles.
Dr. Jaccoud, a French authority, holds
that the disease is infectious. He is
strong in his reasons for the belief, and
in a recent clinical lecture published in
the journal de Medicine and alb
stracted in the British Medical Jour
nal' he sets them forth at some length.
The Journal says:
Jaccoud pointed out that in very
many cases of rheumatism some pre-
ceding local process has been observed
which may serve as a point of invasion
to the organism, whatever it may be,
which is the cause of acute rheumatism.
Among these by far the most import
ant is tonsilitis, and a striking fact is
that the organisms found are exactly
the same as those found in the tissues
which are the seat of the lesion. For
this reason the pharynX, the tonsils,
in fact any tissue showing a lesion,
may allow the organism to enter, and
case has been quoted in which wound
of the foot seemed to be the lesion to
blame. Although nothing definite is
known concerning the origin of acute
rheumatism there is such a series of
circumstances connected with the dis
ease that its bacterial origin is rendered
practically certain. Jaccoud looks up
on the infectious nature of rheumatism
as beyond doubt when its mode of evo-
luton, its diffusive character and the
mission from mother to child before
birth are taken into consideration. One
such case is recorded by Jaccoud him.
self in which a mother suffering from
a severe attack of rheumatism gave
birth to child who in twelve hours
developed pyrexia with pain and swell
ing of the points, all of which gave way
to salicylate of soda by the end of
week. This evidence the author looks
upon as strongly showing the infectious
nature of this disease.

that. Not long ago a woman was ia
ken suddenly i'll in a New York hotel
A doctor was summoned but he refused
to treat her because the man with
whom the woman came to the hotel
was not her husband. 1t was a case
demanding speedy action, and before
another doctor could be summoned the
suffering woman died. These facts
brought the scandal to light and mem
bers of two families were disgraced and
Inundated who had done no wrong.
The refusal of the doctor was in vio-
lation of the code of his profession
That requires that the suffering shall
have immediate attendance no matter
what their social standing. 1t is a
question of human woe and of life and
death, not one of morals and propriety
so far as the doctor is concerned.
Another case was that at Albany,

shame upon an innocent family. Now
no one contends that the guilty shall be
shielded or the dishonest go unwhipped
by justice. But it is demanded that the
physician as the repository of secrets
shall hold them sacred when he be-
comes their recipient in the discharge of
his duty as a doctor. The law itself
respects the confidence reposed in him.
and refuses to compel him to testify to
those things he learns in confidential
manner in the course of the exercise Of
his functions as a physician.
In each of these cases the doctor call
ed in violated the code of ethics Of his
school, a code society has approved and
confirmed. In neither case will any
punishment inflicted right the wrong
done. The world has not been bettered
| by the violation of the code, but the
medical fraternity has taken distinct
harm. The announcement of the men
who We're recreant to duty will of
course tend to deter others from violat-
| ing the code and to that extent will be
| beneficial, but it will remain that the
profession has been disgraced. The
physicians obligation to preserve secre-
cy is not dissolved because he discovers
that the patient is not true to moral
codes He has nothing to do with them
in such cases. His duty is to relieve
human suffering, and save human life
! If he can, no matter who the party
treated is. If physicians are to go about
lighting up all the immoralities they
| discover in their practice they will
have their hands too full to pay much
| attention to the daily advances their
profession is making. They will become
preachers and meddling reformers rath-
er than healers and friends of human
Iity.

San Bernardino Sun: The wool grow

lighted with the prospect that they are
to get protection, must not expect to feel
the effects Immediately. Latest inves-
legations as to the supply of wool in
stock in this country show that the
amount of foreign woods in the hands
of the manufacturers is sufficient for at
least seven months supply, and that if
the present enormous importationS con-
tinue, as seem probable, they will prob
ably have a full years supply on hand
when the new law goes into effect. This
is a deplorable fact, but it is one of the
numerous misfortunes attendant upon
the existence of the free trade tariff law
now upon the statute books, and until
it can be gotten rid of there can be no
getting rid of its depressing effect.
