CHRISTIAN SCIENCE IN AMERI
CAN COURTS.

From the Rochester PCst-Express.
The verdict of manslaughter agains.
the Christian Scientists that attended
Harold Frederic has called attention to
the treatment of the same class of prac-
itioners in American courts. The de-
cisions are not numerous but they are all
in the direction Of greater leniency than
was shown in this case. The latest one
was rendered last July by the Supreme
court of Rhode Island. 1t arose under
the statute providing for the registration
of physicians and The regulation OF the
practice of medicine. According to this
statute no person Is permitted to practice
medicine or surgery without obtaining
filing and registering a certificate from
the state board CT health.
DR.. Mylod was the Christian Scientist
arrested under this statute. 1t was shown
that while he did not have a certificate
he had been called '.pon to treat patients
in accordauCc with his method. One pa
tient suffercr rom malaria testified that
DR.. Mylod =: tn his eyes shaded look
ing at the III ii as II engaged in silent
prayer At Apiration of ten minutes,
he looked NJ ! said, 81 guess you feel
better" and gave the patient a book en-
titled "A Defer Sc of Christian Science" 4"
He did not make any diagnosis of the
case or give any medicine. The fee he re-
ceived for his services was 81. Another
patient, who raid a like sum, was cured
of the grip In substantially the same way.
In reversing the decision against DR..
Mylod i'm the lower court. the Supreme
court held that prayer for the victims OF
disease or instruction that prayer will
produce physical perfection, or that right
thinking will bring humanity in harmony
with God, does not constitute a practice
of medicine.

The Race Issue in Politics.

An interesting assertion is made in
the Washington correspondence of the
Chicago Record concerning the recent
race war in Wilmington, n. c. Upon
the authority of a railroad man from
that town who fought in the Confed-
crate army and is the son of a slave
holder ii is said that the war was a
deliberate and desperate conspiracy on
the part of the Democratic leaders to
bring back into their party a consid-
erable portion of the business element,
manufacturers, bankers, railroad men
and others, who went over to the Re-
publicans in 1896 and were likely to re-
main with them.
The race war was proposed" says
this gentleman "by professional poll
ticians whose names are now known
and who contribute no more to the
material welfare of the state than the
negroes who were shot down in the
streets of Wilmington. They have been
supported in office by the taxpayers

lican victory two years ago. They
realized that unless they could do

more bioodshed would have been neces-

finally been declared and the Spanish
army killed or driven out, Spain would
stlll have had large resources with which

this all Americans are agreed. She

perpetuating her unjust rule.
The problem now is to get Spain out

the final disposition of these islands is
decided upon. That is all there is to
the presidents programme. If the Fill

The Sure Recipe for Peace.

There is an aphorism of General
Sherman's which has been very much
quoted during our trouble with Spain.
War is hell" said the blunt old war;
rior. War is indeed an Internal reality
to the army that takes the field unpre-
pared, unprotected, unprovided at its
base. unshielded by it's generals. 1t
was hell to the Confederates at Gettys-
burg, to the Russians at Balaklava, to
the French at Gavelotte, to the Span
iards at Manila and Santiago, to the
Dervishes in the Soudan. But neither
the English, German nor Union soldiers
nor their countrymen look upon the
terrible battles as hell, or the offspring
OF hell
1t is the temporary condition and not
the ultimate benefit of war that makes
it hellish. Since war is inevitable, as
it always has been from the dawn of
history to the present hour, we should
despise pandering to national pusillan-
unity by making insufficient prepara-
tion for it. There are claims of human
ity. national pride and national inter
ests which dare not be set aside in
favor of the plea for peace. The aphor-
istic defamation that war is helr' will
not retard it's contingency. You do not
avoid rain by forecasting clear weather.
We should have our annual military
manoeuvres here just as they have
them in the Old World. We should
have mOdernized regular army equal
in size to the nations enlarged import
ance; an amplfied navy fitted out with
the best mechanical appliances that
genius can invent or money buy, and
we should have a national spirit which
realizes that in foreign relations the
prompt assertion of a nations rights
backed by effective strength is like the
stitch i'm time that saves nine. Thus
alone shall We have peace.

this conspiracy cool off they will show

will be shown that instead OF ruling
the state the negroes of North Caro-
lima do not hold as many offices as
they are entitled to from the basis
Of the taxes they pay. without regard
to their excess of population. When
the statistics now being collected are
presented to congress, as they will be.
II will be shown that instead of paying
only per cent. of the taxes of North

It is hard to believe that political des-
peration would go so far as to die

party which has systematically de-

gro was clothed with the right to vote
is fully capable of going the step fur
ther which was taken at Wilmington.
