Triumphs in Surgery.

Cleansing of the wound itself was al
most a surgical heresy few years ago.
Fouled bandages were the rule, and the
thicker and more abundant the dis
charges the more ''laudable" they were
considered to be. Hence in the older
works on surgery the so-called '1auda-
BILE" pus was as much a sign of safety
rs it is now of danger. Cleanliness Of
instruments, now a prime considera-
ton, was then entirely ignored. Often
times the same instruments would be
used at different times upon the dead
as we'll as the living body. and n cele-
brated operator of that day was accus-
toned to hold his knife between his
teeth when his hands were temporarily
employed in the wound. If cut heal
ed rapidly it was a rarity sufficiently
great to court fact. The former result
was rather an accident of cleanliness
than the deliberate acknowledgment of
what SHOULD have been the rule. Con-
sequently the most careful surgeons
those who possessed instructive habits
of neatness and cleanliness-were the
most successful

Ia This Anarchy?

The day of retrenchment or the day
of ruin for this Government is awaiting
the people of the United States in the
not remote future. We shall very soon
step from the nineteenth into the TWEEN
tieth century. We shall carry with us
either the germs of dissolution and de-
cay or of life and conserved energy.
To avoid the former and secure the lat
ter the American people should begin
at once in the household, in the fac
tory. in the counting room. in the man
agement of great lines of transporta-
ton. and in all other interpretations OF
capital, to practice something of the
economy and frugality which charac-
terized our New England ancestors.
The cost of local governments must be
lessened. Administration of county
and city and village affairs must be
made more and more businesslike and
economical. In short the fixed charges
of American citizenship must be cut
down.. Sterling Morton, in Forum.

Six and a half millions OF the people |
last election that it was the duty of !
the Government to coin silver as well |
as gold, and give relief from the pres
ent scarcity of money to the full ex-
tent which the unlimited coinage of
both metals can furnish. But we go
farther. and deny that the Government
is confined to metals. or to paper, or to
any other commodity, for material
upon which to stamp or print money.
There is not civilized government in
existence which has not at some time
stamped or printed on paper the law
which made it full legal tender money.
This proposition was declared to be
true in the mixed money case 300
years ago, and it was also declared to
be true by our own Supreme Court in
the legal tender cases. In view of these
facts. those who contend that the COM
modify gold alone must be used for
money, and that the people must have
no money if the combination which
has cornered that commodity will not
The whole trouble is the failure of the
Government to perform it's duty.
We ask what is the reason why the
Government has failed to perform its
duty and furnish an adequate supply
of money? The reason is that the same
men who have cornered the gold in the
world have control of the Government
of the United States, and it Is for their
interests to confine the money of the
world to the commodity which they
own or control. Why do the people
elect Presidents who belong to the gold
combination? We answer because the
gold combination controls all the mon
ey in the world. and can hire the press
and any other invention which can be
used to spread or circulate lies and de-
ceive the people. Besides, when they
are not able to fool enough of the peo-
pie to make majority. they have thus
far succeeded In buying or intimidat-
ing the required number to make II
possible to count a majority for the
gold trust.
What then, is the remedy? We an
swer there is but one remedy, and that
is the ballot If the people would take
the matter into their own hands, anC
see to it that their votes We're counted
they could elect a President who does
not belong to the gold combination anc
who would not sell out to that comb
nation. Relief can come in no othe
) way. If the people will not do this
times must grow harder and harder
until barbarism takes the place OF tn

Women as Breadwinners.

1t has been argued that the projected
cotton factory at Birmingham should
be encouraged because 1t would fur
nish employment for women. If not for
children, says the Labor Advocate.
This Is true. but to force women into
works of any kind is delusion. and 1t
will be found that the adoption of this
course plays conspicuous part In the
subversion of our organic law. Every
woman who stands behind counter
forces some man to become a tramp!
by the sweat of thy brow shalt thou
eat bread" was the command which
God gave man. to whom he spake an
other command equally as specific, but
quite different in it's nature. We rea-
sonably infer, then, that God intend
ed man to earn the bread, while wom-
an should play Il different part, which
he had mapped out for her to perform.

making tramps and disqualifying WON
eli for housewives, and now comes the
cotton factory. asking us to bind it to
our children-our flesh and our blood
and its agents declaring it a place
where the poor widow may earn hon
est bread. Away with these MARIANA
thas in disguise. Let our women who
are forced to earn a livelihood return
to their domestic duties for themselves
or someone else, let our state provide
for the education of our children, ant
before another two decades shall hav'
elapsed we will find ourselves pros
porous people; the men will have &C
quired the employment which tn
women will have deserted, and Thereof
be given a means of support for them
selves and the women who hilbert
have impeded their progress.

Failure of Private Ownership.


We hear a great deal from stockhold-
ers and Wall street organs about the
advantages of private ownership as
contrasted with Government owner
shop. But look at the condition of the
railroads of the country where the
principle of private ownership has had
full sway from the beginning. The
most fragrant incompetence is every
where manifest. The railroad mag
mates are themselves admitting that
their properties are run down. The
managers continually make the gross
est blunders. The commerce of the
country is perpetually disorganized
and thrown into confusion, and every
now and then the situation gets so bad
as to be intolerable.
Then the Government Is appealed to
and 1t proceeds to set matters right.
Thereafter things are little better I'M

Chinese Laundries Denounced.

There are ten Chinese laundries in
this city. and not one of the proprietors
of these employ American labor, says
writer in the Sioux City Union Advo-
cate. Not one of them contributes to
the prosperity of this city or its inhab-
itants. Not one of them contributes
in the slightest degree to the success
of the trades unionists' struggle for
fair wages and equitable conditions.
On the other hand, there are quite a
number of American laundrymen here
who do all in their power to assist
union labor; who pay taxes, employ
American help at fair wages and in
vest their earnings here at home, natu-
rally contributing to the laborer's
cause.
And yet the Chinese laundries are
quite largely patronized by working
men and the working classes! The
union man who is foolish enough to
support these yellow-faced proprietors
of suualid laundries is not only incon
sistent, but he is injuring his own in
terests, himself, his family. He Is
recreant to union principles and is
aiding in his own degradation. He can
not. with justice, demand fair wages
for himself when he refuses to patron
ize those who sympathize with hin
and who pay fair wages to his com
rades in other trades. When he crosse
the threshold of the Chinese ''washee'
he confesses his betrayal of unionism
