of the patient, not the ultimate ends Of
science, was their object. But the COM
ic papers, with the insight which they
frequently show, have hit the mark
when they cause a modern specialist to
remark with a sigh of satisfaction, "Oh.
it was a beautiful Operation. The pa
tient? Well, the patienJ died"
Fortunately, there are not many of
these self-styled scientific men in the
|. profession. If there were, the country
would be in state worse than saw
agery, for in savagery, at least, nature
has a chance to exercise her healing
power. But when a man sent to look
after the health of soldiers serving
their country in a momentous war pays
more attention to horses and mules
than he does to his human patients, as
it is alleged that DR.. Huidekoper did,
something must be wrong with his NOR
al makeup. The order given by this
man at Chickamauga, requiring each
surgeon to lake a different detail of pa
tients each morning. has never been ex-
planned. Perhaps he thought that the
surgeons would get more practice in
that way, but it seems to the average
citizen that it would really be more i'm
portant to cure the soldiers than to in
crease by a small degree the experience
of the doctors. Besides, 1t might be
stated with some show of reason that
doctor gets more experience by curing
one man and knowing how he did it
than by having ten men die on his
hands when turned over to him from
some other doctor.
The rank and file of army surgeons
were doubtless devoted and efficient
men. But there were not enough of
them, and they were in most cases fear
fully hampered by fat-salaried supe-
riors who did not know their business.
A pathetic instance of this was the case
OF the doctor who. unaided and alone
brought a train-load of one hundred
and sixty sick men half across the con-
tinent. His orders were to do just that
He was not allowed TO put the men off
at points along the road. He had no
authority to detail men to aid him.
And it is reported that the obioquy
which was hastily heaped upon him for
doing what he was ordered to do. has
brought on brain fever. and that he
raves day and night about "the boys"
and insists that he is responsible for
their lives and must be allowed to go
and look after them. 1t is also said
| that he performed his herculean task
better than could possibly have been
expected. For the deaths which occurred
on the way. not the overburdened doc
| tor, but those who gave him the order.

Santiago, Sept. 2S.-To Gen. Demetrio
Castillo has been offered the post of
counsellor and assistant to Gen. Wood
in arranging matters concerning the Gu
bans in the capitulated territory, He will
probably accept.
In an informal conference Monday aft

Lawton the situation was fully discussed.
Gen. Garcia informed Gen. Lawton that
there was a tremendously strong feeling
among the Cubans regarding the inten-
tions of the Americans and that no solu-
ton save independence would be accept
ed by them.
Any other proposal. Gen Garcia assert
ed, would bring serious trouble and q
probable conflict between the United
States and CubanS. Personally, he as
sured Gen. Lawton he would do every
thing possible to smooth out matters.
He had no intention, he said, of posing
as president of the republic. His sole
ambition was the command of the army.

would have known that he would be
held personally responsible by the peo-
pie of his State for the condition Of the
men under his charge. If he wanted
special supplies which could not be fur
nished by the Government, he could
call on his State for them. If he need
ed help in nursing the sick, he could
have soldiers detailed from the regi-
ment, and could often select men whom
he knew to be accustomed to caring for
the sick and making themselves useful
in emergencies. He could have had his
eye on the camp and the men, and
known precisely when the regiment was
threatened with an epidemic. The old
fashioned doctors used to say that 1t
was more important to know people
than books, and better to know
the constitution of the patient than
to understand the last new method
of treating the disorder. To some ex-
tent the regimental surgeon could know
his man personally. In the division
hospital, on the contrary, the regimen
tai surgeons were obliged to report to
their chief and receive their assign
mentS from him, and at Chickamauga

pricks, but il did no good They pro-
tested that they could not give proper
attention to their patients if confronted
with new cases each day, but tie sys-
tenn was continued for some time.

not 1t may be that the little black and
white pills. which were the only medi-
cine in use in one camp, were concocted
by Huidekoper in the course of his
past practice. II is certain that his
performance in the camp at Chica-
mauga was anything but agreeable to
the physicians under him. many of
whom had been men of considerable
standing in their profession before they
went into the army.

De9eW's Fran knt ~.

The people of New York have to
thank the perpetual Depew for a very
candid statement Of the political situa-
tion. II was peculiarly fitting that so
oppressive character as Mr.. Depew.
who courts opportunities to put himself
in evidence before the public, should
have been selected to nominate q
younger man. who is following in his
tracks and who is already his rival for
the rays Of the lime light. In his speech
Mr. Depew cut out large amount of
work for the Republicans in the imme-
diate future. They are to impose their
mischievous doctrines on the innocsnts
who are newly brought under the folds
Of the American flag. as we'll as perpe-
trate new atrocities in the interest Of
the favored few who contribute to the
party campaign funds in exchange for
legisla ton that robs the humble major
ity.
Until three months ago" said Mr..
Depew. Ito succeed in the elections we
would have had to satisfy the voters Of
the soundness and wisdom of our posi-
tion on these questions''-of a high
tariff extension, financial folly, the
theft of canal funds. and the like. But
at this juncture the people have tenn
pcrariIy put everything else aside and
are applying their whole thought TO the
war with Spain" In other words, by
asking the votes of the people for a
soldier the Republicans hope to carry
! the election without having 10
explain their purpose and without hav-
/ ing TO defend themselves in the matter
! Of the canal funds and bad legislation.
! That Colonel Roosevelt should sell
himself TO the discredited and criminal
/ Republican machine is a convincing
proof that he values the material bene-
/ fits of military record.
! Thanks TO Mr.. Depew, the people have
! fair warning that the Republicans in
! tend to get in their work on the old
lines; that the nomination of Roosevelt
/ does not mean any change in character
or purpose. If they can hypnotic the
people by glorifying the Republican
party for a war into which the Presi-
dent was forced by patriotic Americans
and which enlisted the services of Dem
ocrats they simply escape the reckoning
which they would otherwise have tc
meet.
Sane men know that the administra-
tion of government is quite as import
ant as the carrying on of a war, and
! that party which has sold itself to the
wealthy few and has a record of GRIM
inal abuse of its power is not made fit
/ for further power because il is calculat-
| ing enough TO buy a soldier for its
shield. II is hardly possible il
should succeed after Mr.. Depew's fair
warning. and his frank avowal of joy
over the fact that having named a SOL

sary to satisfy the voters of the sound
ness and wisdom of our position on

Two Kinds of Doctor.

One of the cleVereSt and most lovable
Of Oliver Wendell Holmes character
sketches is that of the old physician in
Elsie Venner." He is the true type Of
the old-fashioned doctor. known and
loved by the whole of his county A
more decided contrast than this physi-
clan and the scientific" physician who
regards patients not as human beings,
but as cases to be studied for the
sake of science" can hardly be imag-
ined. 1t looks very much as if a few of
the physicians employed by the War
Department were more fond of science
than of healing.
Science is magnificent thing in itself,
but the Apostle Paul had his wits about
him when he spoke of science falsely
so-called. The really scientific doctor
is just the same now that he was in the
days when DR.. Holmes wrote of him, a
healer who studies men more than
books, and who does not insist on re-
ducing all diseases to problems of mole
cules and atoms. The personal mag
netism of doctor has much to do with
his efficiency, and it was this which
some of the old-fashioned doctors had,
without. perhaps. exactly understand
ing its laws. But they knew how to
use il. They knew how to make a pa
tient get well by making him believe he
would get well. They knew how to
