When Mr.. Cleveland used to take
his pleasure trips on U. s. vessels, at
the expense of the government. there
was nothing too denunciatory for re-
publican newspapers to say of him for
doing SO. But now that Mr.. Mckinley
does the same thing, these newspapers
take an entirely different view of the
matter. and can see in it nothing at all
reprehensible. Circumstances alter
cases, to be sure, but such an alteration
as the one referred to, is really re-
markable.-Alex. Gazette.

Mr.. Charles Catlett, of Staunton,
Va, has published in the transactions
of the American Institute of Mining
Engineers his paper on the hamburger
and the hand-drill in prospecting
work. He has in his practice found
the tool of immense value in prelimi-
nary work. Mr.. Catlett believes that
most failures in mining may be sum-
med up as want of sufficient prelimi-
nary investigation and prospecting. :"
Especially is this true, he says, in the
South, where the absence of glacial
action has left everything covered with
a thick layer of decomposed material

FREE MEDICAL SERVICE.

No less hfgh an authority than the
president OF the Queensland Medicai
Association proposes that "thc country
be divided into medical districts unoer
doctors paid by the state. 10 look AFTER
the health OF all the people, the money
for the purpose 10 be raised by poll TAX
Of g n year, which, It is estimated VIII
provide a fund that will enable the o'a'e
to pay s. so for the lowest medical saia-
rles." "A New South Wales laDo'
league" II is added. has declared tn"'
the practice of medicine should DC
national service"
The Charleston News and Courier re-
CARDS the proposed scheme win u''-
qualified approval and commends II ac-
cordinpiv 10 the careful consideration
-, lo,e, of social reformers in TINS
country"
I, may come TO this In the course OF
time Already. in cities, the puphc
authorities and various business anu
charitable organizations provide lreo
medical service for thousands OF persons
To such an extent has this gone, pro-
tests are often heard in the North against
the work of free dispensaries-where "
is alleged that many who really are aoie
- nav for medical services are treatea
without cost. Remonstrances are also
heard there. and here too. against 'he
course Of such druggists as prescribe ior
sicI, or ailing persons. Upon the o'he'
hand IL is frequently urged that tie
ro,c,lar rates charged by physicians DRIVE
much practice from them mat '"''
,nipht receive if lower prices preVaiied'
The Dispatch cannot go so far as 'ne
News and Courier does in approving inc
Queensland scheme, but if put into opera
tion in Queensland we shall watch II
with great interest. The Australian
ballot system has produced great changes
in political affairs. and possibly 1t may
he that country's fortune to abolish
doctors bills However. the physician
has no such easy thing in collecting MS
fees that the lawyer has.
Courts allow lawyers vastly more IMAM
they are willing to allow doctors-skiii
ond time being considered. So, too. the
average man pays more cheerfully Tor
q suit won for him than for services
rendered him by a medical expert. All
this is well-nigh inexplicable; but the eX-
nerlences of hundreds Of obseVant men
attest its truth.

MP CAGES DREAM.

Secretary the Treasury Gage in MS
speech Tuesday night at the banquet OF
tho Cincinnati Commercial Club, took an
ortinistic view Of the situation. lie de-
clarod that the revival of industry was
near. and that with the establishment Vi
q revenue law sufficient to bring into the
treasury an amount adequate to meet
tho reasonable needs of our government
ord with the establishment OF our
finances on a sound and enduring basis,
nothing now foreseen could decay the
recovery of past losses and the inaugural
tion of a new forward movement along
the lines of material advancement ana
social progress.
No doubt Mr. Gage Is as sincere as he
is optimistic. But where are his hsures
70 prove that the Republican tariff pohcy
will bring in sufficient revenue to meet
the reasonable needs OF our govern
mont? The Senate tariff tinkerers
showed that the Dingley bAl would not
do If and now the experts are demon
strating that the Senate bill, even with
IFS duty on tea and increase OF internal
revenue tax on plug tobacco, cigarettes
and beer. must fail as revenue pro-
ducer. The reason of this, as has been
reneatedIy pointed out. is that the duties
on articles in commonest use are so high
as to be prohibitory.
Touching the establishment OF our IL
nanccs upon a sound and enduring OASIS

roform As far as the demands OF bust
moss are concerned, nothing could be
more unsound than the present system

the contrary, it has developed STEADY

There is no more ground for believing

| for believing that they are honest IN as
sorting that the object of their tariff
policy is TO raise revenue. The sooner
the masses recognize that until the Re
uublican party Is driven from power they
need not expect either currency reform
or tariff for revenue as distinguished
from tariff for the trusts and the mono
polies. the better it will be for the coun-
try. Indeed, not until the masses shall
have recognized this, need they hope fol
a realization of Mr.. Cages dream.

Cured this afternoon at Valley Stream,

of twenty-one excursionsts from the
Green-Avenue Baptist church. Brooklyn,
which had started out for days out
ing through Long Island. was struck by
a train on the Long Island railroad at
the Merrick Boulevard crossing, ana
these were instantly killed;

Some of the dead were frightfully
mangled. The body of Lester L. Roberts
was ground TO pieces. The body OF
Miss Burch was also badly mangled.
The train that struck the tally-ho was
bound east from Mineola. 1t was not
running fast when the accident hap
pened. and accounts differ as 10 whether
the whistle was blown. 1t is also mat
ter of dispute whether the bell was be
ing rung. 1t is claimed by some that
it was, and that the merry party on the
coach was making so much noise that
the driver could not hear the bell The
double team of the tally-ho had crossed
| the track and had the front wheels OF
the coach upon the rails when the pilot
of the engine was seen by the driver.
He gave the horses a cut with the whip,
but it was too late, and an instant
later the crash came.
As the engine came in sight, the wo-
men of the party uttered screams. which
were ended by the crash, and then fol-
lowed by cries OF agony. When the en-
CINE struck the coach the occupants
were in all positions, as they had started
TO lump TO their feet upon realizing their
| danger. Some had gained their feet,
while others had made an effort 10 reach
the side steps. Others, too frightened &c
move, had clutched the seats Of tbs
side-rail and waited for the crash.
