About 5000 physicians Of New York
have banded together and gone on a
strike against free hospitals, dispensarlcs
ana clinics. Their movement has been
so far successful as to cause the lcglsla-
ture OF New York to pass a law by which
It IS right to reduce to a minimum those
things which thesc physicians regard as
evils.
They point out that In the year 1895
100000 persons had free treatment and
medicine In the city OF New York. They
estimate that II each Of these persons
had called a physician and paid him $500
rs minimum there would have been a
handsome sum OF S2.iOO,O0O to be divided

When this woman heard of her promo

asked that this woman be promoted in

II was an odd request; It must have

stranger as to his name he failed to catch

Under Prcsldcnt Clevcland's admins.
tratlon the secretary Of war issued IL
censc to Archbishop Corrlgan OF New
York 10 cree. Roman Catholic chapel on
government ground at West Point.
There was a question about the proprIety
of this grant and the present secretary Of
war asked an opinion from the attorney
general.
The opinion OF the attorney general Is
that under the law this grant cannot be
made. II is unlawful to grant the use Of
government property for longer term
than hve years, and the attorney general
holds that In the very nature OF the case
permanency is Implied in the request for
a license to erect Roman Catholic cha
pei at West Point,
The attorney generals opinion has
raised hostile criticism from some Of the
Roman Catholic clergy. Fortunately.
there can be no accusation OF sectarlan
bias in this matter. Attorney General
McKenna is hlnself.a Roman Catholic
But ne was not called on to decide this
case as a Roman Catholic. II came TO
him as the attorney general of the United
States and he decided It according TO the
law as he understands H.
1.-THE attorney general had been Pro-
testant. or II, being Roman Catholic,
1t had been proposed to build Protes-
tant chapel at West Point, in either case
there might be a pretext for such accusa-
lions as sectnrians like to bring against
persons belonging to other communions,
Happily there can be nothing Of this
kind growing out OF this case.

s,rIlinr Garment Makers,

A few Of the striking garment makers
In New York have won their fight, but
their places have been more than taken
in the striking ranks by others Just as
eager to get bread for their labor. There
are now more than 10000 strikers. Their
demands are for a work-week Of Nifty
nine hours, nearly ten hours a day for
six days. FirEt-class operators demand
SIS a week; second-claSs operators de-
mand Sl2 a week: basters SIS week;
baster's helpers Si2 a week; pressers $40
to 3lI week: flnlshers $40 to SIG week.
There are various grades OF work for
which demands are made much lower.
but these are the principle branches Of
the work, and for the others figures are
not given. Surely these demands are
not unreasonable. Much OF this labor Is
skilled and wages ranging from 50 to SIS
weak requiring skilled and hard work
could not be considered high.
II clothing could not be sold at Its pres
emit prices, II. these wages be paid, let the
prices of clothing be made high enough
to enable the men and women who pro-
duee Il to make a living
Living in New York IS much higher
than It Is in Wheeling. and ye; the wages
demanded by the New York garment
makers would mot enable a man TO live
and support family in nabob style in
our own modest city. II ever men and
women had Just cause to strike, the gar
ment makers Of New York have it in full
measure.

Judge Murphy was trying case In

defense did his best to intimidate the
attorney for tHe prosecution, and the
prosecuting attorney retallated with all

a pitch that the attorney for the pros

Murphy interrupted. sayinE:
