Senator Tillman, it is said, has
promised to take hand in tho
fight in the next campaign. 1t
was once said that our representa-
tives in Washington ought to stay
there and attend to their duties
and not meddIe in home affairs.
If our recollection is correct,
Senator Tillmsn, then a candidate
for governor, said something very
much like this. He is not a can
didate for governor now, but
United States Senator. Circum
stances appear to have changed
since then. VI" taalf E.!

Korean Doctors.
OIlssionary Review

BY the Koreans disease, as well as all
the other Ills Of life, is attributed TO the
malevolence of demons, and in most
cases Of sickness more money Is spent in
exorcism. with a view TO propltatng the
evil spirit, than in medicine for the suf-
fering victim. Perhaps nothing else
serves better to illustrate TO the Occi-
dental mind the contrariness Of things
Oriental than the music singing, dancing.
and feasting called for i'm case Of sick
ness i'm a Korean home. The chief figure
in the troop Of actors is a female eXOr-
cist. believed 10 be I'm league with
powerful demon, by whose aid she can
entice or drive away the evil spirit caus-
ing the sickness. As she sings and dances
the others beat upon drums, tom-toms,
etc. all together making noise enough 10
distract the poor sufferer. As a propitia
tory sacrifice tables are spread, laden
with food and wine. Of the odor arising
from which the spirit is supposed to par
take and depart satisfied.
The Korean doctors treatment, too, be-
ing directed toward the driving out of the
demon, is naturally believed 20 be effect
i've i'm proportion to its severity. Persons
suffering from low malarial and other
fevers invariably have various parts of
the body pierced with large and, of
course, surgically unclean needles, as
supposed important part OF their treat
ment. We have seen broken limbs that
have been punctured all around the seat
OF fracture in similar manner. Indeed,
no treatment is more common than the
use Of the needle. No attempt Is made
to keep IL clean, and consequently fright
ful assesses, sometimes causing death
often follow its use.

"THE NEW POLICY"
,wprRraLIsTIC PATH on WHICH
WE HAVE ENTERED.
POSITION OF GERMAN-ANERICANS.
Firm stand Against MiIitarism ana
the AdnA nistrafiOn's Idea of For
eign COnquest-LOyalty of German
American Population to Union.

ST LOUIS, MO, April 2G-The German
| newspaper publishers Of Missouri held a
meeting here to-day for the purpose of
defining their position regarding what
they call "the new policy Of imperial
ISM"
DR.. Emil Pretorius, editor OF the West
liche Post, presided.
After lengthy discussion the follow
ing resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed:
Il. Systematic and uninterrupted efforts
have been made during the past twelve
months to destroy, by Misrepresentation
and unfounded sensations. the good feel
Ing and the old historical friendship be-
tween the United States and Germany.
These malicious intentions have created
among the German-American population
the greatest Indignation. We. therefore,
regard It our duty, as loyal citizens, to
denounce these continued falsehoods and
Misrepresentation. which endanger the
old friendship of the countries.
GERMAN AMERICAN FRIENDSHIP.
So The friendship between the United
States and Germany is as old as the his
tory of the great American republic, and
has lasted uninterruptedly. As the govern
ment of Frederick the Great was the first
European Power which acknowledged the
young republic Germany was the first 10
acknowledge the supremacy of the United
States i'm the Philippines. This fact alone
proves plainly that Germany has no I'M
friendly intention and no desire to oppose
us i'm the Orient.
90. In the glorious history Of the United
States, from the time OF George Wash
ington to the days Of the civil war. the
German-American population has shown
strong and patriotic loyalty 10 the Union.
In these days of the republic the Ger
man-Americans stood firm and true by
the Union, as they will do in future.
GERMANS MISREPRESENTED
I'VE, COMMUNICATIONS, and the Ger
mans in the old country, have been cruel
~ misrepresented. We proved our loyalty
during the past war. and will continue TO
prove it, whatever the future may bring,
bat we protest most emphaticaly against
all falsehoods and intrigues which are in
tended to interrupt. in the interest of
England, the friendship between the |
United States and Germany
81. True to the Constitution and tradi- |
lions Of the republic, we take a firm |
stand against militarism and imperialism, |
knowing that the Communication citi- |
zens stand almost unanimously against |
this new course. which would endanger |
the welfare and the future Of the repub- |
lie"

teen returned missionaries. When the
hymn was concluded they were formally
ir reduced to the audience, and in turn
made brief addresses. Some OF them were

There was a large attendance of mem

reform.

"by men who have no experience, and
many Of them are without qualifications

diplomatic service Is 4 disgrace TO our
country. How can we be commercially
