NOW IT'S GOOD.
Republican Members Defend
Populist Railroad Court Law.

The Kansas court of visitation, which
has been organized one month and has
yet its first case to try, today issued an
excuse for it's existence. In making
this excuse the court says:
THE establishing of the new court
requires time Chief Judge Johnson,
who assisted in the organization of the
southern department of the court of
appeals. said it required three months
to get that department in working or
der while at the end of one month
the court of visitation is supplied with
all necessary blanks and books, and are
ready for business as soon as the peO-
pie become acquainted with the new
system of dealing with the railroads,
telegraph and express companies. which
is through a court, and not as hereto
fore, by a commission.
The people enormously infer that
the Judges of the court of visitation as
sumo the duties of the former railroad
commissioners as evidenced by the cor
respondence of the office for the past
month, and when informed that their
grievance must assume the form of
verified complaint, the trivial matters
complained of fall, for the reason
that they do not wish to make court
case out of their imaginary grievance.
In this respect the law appears to Op
crate as a preventative of the petty
annoyances which so freely incumber-
ed the railroad commissioners and by
which the complainant nOpeQ TO secure
free transportation.
The law introduces an entirely new
system, the beneficient result of which
can only be determined after the oper-
alton of the law, as it may be admin
istered by the court, the members of
which will doubtless do all in their
power to establish a tribunal which
shall be a just medium of redress be-
tween the people and the railroad, tele-
graph and express companies to the
satisfaction of the people, and in jus
tice to the corporations.

Washington, May 3.-The session Of

important paper on typhoid in the VOL
unteer camps by DR.. V. c. Vaughan,
one of the board of surgeons appointed
by Surgeon General Sternberg last sum-
mer to look into the matter when the
epidemic of typhoid was prevalent in
the various army camps. The board
made very thorough study of the sub
ject and it's report has been looked for

report is not yet completed, but DR..

We're responsible for the policing of the

Surgeon General Sternberg of the
army said it seemed certainly strange
after the lessons of the civil war that
our CAMPS SHOulu nave Deen lnteCted
by typhoid fever, which we know sot
well. He had issued a circular to all
medical officers pointing out the dan
gers in this regard and explaining how
they might be avoided. General Stern
berg referred to the appointment of
volunteer medical army officers by the
governors of states, the former thereby
becoming responsible for the health of
our camps.
The result had been unsatisfactory.
1t did seem to him to be inconsistent
that we should set ourselves up to show
the Spaniards how to eradicate yellow
fever from their cities while our camps
are infected seriously with typhoid. He
declared that any adverse conditions
which prevailed at Montauk should not
be held against the regular army med1-

Most of the volunteer medical officers
went to camp with the expectation of
fighting no end of malaria. In one regi-
ment each man was provided with ZOO
grains of quinine and a three ounce
bottle of paragoric. The great bulk OF
supposed malarial cases were not ma
larial affections at all, but many of
the doctors, regardless of this, dosed
their patients with 80 to 40 grains Of
