Special officer Needed.

The board also recommends that there be
detailed from the metropolitan police
special officer. whose duty it shall be to
investigate and report to the proper
tho rites violations of the law regarding
physicians and midwives. The board has
never held itself responsible for violations
OF the law nor regard ed their inVeStiga-
ton as one of it's duties, therefore no rec
ord of arrests has been kept. That the
law is being violated is certain. but because
of the difficulty in obtaining evidence, and
the seeming lack of appreciation of the
value of the rigid enforcement of the law,
but few arrests have been made. The
board believes that the services of a Spe
clally detailed offit er would add greatly
to the protection afforded the community.
1t is understood from the presidents of
the board of dental examiners and of the
commissioners of pharmacy that they
would join in this recommendation and ask
that the same officer perform a like Office
with regard to the laws under which they
act.

that Party. -
Pail Mall Gazette: The growth OF the
Socialist party In Germany is matter
OF grave moment now that We are on
She eve OF a general election. In 1871,
when the Socialist vote was 124, 900. only
two OF the party were returned, Herren
Bebel and L!ebknecht, who are still
members OF the relchstag. In 1874 the
Socialist vote increased to s., 900, and
the deputies returned numbered nine;
then came the election OF 1877, at which
$4,000 voters elected twelve members.
but In 1878, the year of the attempted
assassination OF Emperor William 1.-the
figures sank to 457, 900 votes and nine
deputies. Nor was there any increase in
, 1881. Three years later, however, the
votes rose to $50 900. and the Socialists
sent twenty-four representatives to the
Reichstag. In 1887 the, number OF votes
increased enormously. yet, strange 10
relate, there were only eleven success
full Socialist candidates.
Ever since 1890, however, we have
been In the flood tide OF Social success,
and there Is every probability OF their
becoming the most powerful party in
abe reichstag-more powerful than even
the Centre. The elections OF 1890 show
ed that 1.437.O0O Socialist votes were
recorded, and thirty-fve of their repre-
sentatives marched into the ireichstag.
At the last general election the figures
showed further increase. OF q total
poll OF 7,674.000 as many rs 1,7SG,00O
votes were Socialist. and that party re-
turned forty-seven out of the three
hundred and ninety-seven deputies.
The Centre, with Its hundred deputies,
only polled 1,46S,0OO votes. and the Com
servatlves. with sixty-one deputies, on
~ 1.03S,000 votes. (.
The Socialists estimate that at the
approaching. election they will muster
at least 2,000,0 900 votes and win from
sixty to seventy seats In the reichstag.

i NEW YORK, April i9.-The following
statement on the congressional Cuban
resolutions was given out to-lay at the
office Of the Cuban Junta:
Tho resolutions as they stand are
tantamount to the recognition OF the
Cuban republic. The declatation4s that
\ che people OF Cuba are free and indie
pendent, while the Cuban people ac-
knowledge allegiance only to the repub-
iic.ot Cuba, which they have established
and maintained by force of arms, The
only object OF the insurrectlon Is the
Independence of the cubans. This Is
provided for by tho Resolutions. The
Cubans asked that before Intervention
there be recognition OF Independence.
This is Also provided for by the resolu-
ton. Their desire to run their own gov
sernment free from coercion Is provided
for by the fourth paragraph OF the reso-
utton. Under these circumstances the
demand made by the United States that
Spain at once evacuate the Island, and
the threat that in the event OF her re-
Bfusal the land and naval forces of the
i United States will be used to compel
evacuation. certainly merits the deepest
gratitude on the part OF hte Cubans.
Should force be necessary on the part
sof the United States there will be the
most complete cooperation blythe Gu
ban government and its army. Coast
pilots and prnctced guides will be
placed Immediately at the service OF the
United States and In every practicable
way wih the. Cubans aid in expelling the
common enemy. To the patriotism OF
the American people and the American
press the Cubans owe n debt OF graft
tude, and for the confidence which the
American people have in them they
hope 10 prove their worthiness.
The steadfastness with which they
have pursued their ideal for .independ-
senceS and the organization which they
have shown IN their fight against Spain,
are sufficient proof that they. will be
able to maintain their Independence
and that peace will be itthr5 only object
,for,the future.
