Women Nurses in
South Africa

The storm which the eminent sur
geon, DIR. Treves, raised by publicly
declaring that "the plague of women"
at the Cape was worse than the
E'plague of fiies," shows no signs of
abating.
DR.. Treves' words called forth a
number of indignant letters rom
women either personally connected
with or deeply interested in the work
of women at the front. His remarks
are generally considered to be an
aspersion upon all women nurses
and others.
Not few believed that it was due
to holding the same opinions as DIR.
Treves that the Maine Hospital Ship
Committee had decided not to send
back their women nurses. Lady
Randolph Churchill, interviewed
upon the matter, said
"Our Sisters we're not clady vol
unteers,' but skilled professionals
having received the same training
and receiving the same salaries as
the male nurses from the Mills SchO-
ols--the whole nursing staff having
been sent to us by Mrs. Whitelaw
Reid, in the exact number of each
sex for which we aSked-ffteen male
trained nurses, besides the then ord
erlies, as well as the four surgeons,
and only five women nurses. In
reference to the Sisters, nothing
could exceed their excellent work
aud if we are parting with them our
decision casts no reflection on their.
efficiency. It has been found that
the nursing staff was too large for
the number of patients we could
take on board, and for the class of
cases hospital ships practically three
days journey from the front neces-
sarily receive. There is one ching
certain, however--we could not do
scithout the Sisters had We not equa-
NY skilled men nurses to replace
them"

to the world to jeering Spain first
of all--in all its rottenness. Tho
Cuban disgrace is a revelation of
the politics which made Mckinley
President, Hanna Senator, Alger
Secretary of War, Quay and Platt
dispensers of patronage, Perry s.
Heath Assistant Postmaster-Gener-
al, RatEbone Director OF Posts in
Cuba, and Neely his financial agent.
This outrage is the latest of the
blots aohich Mr.. Mckinley has put
upon our escutcheon. He has turned
war Of humanity into war of con-
quest. In doing so he has broken
the promise of the country given
through himself and Congress more
than once. He has violated the
Declaration of Independence and
the Constitution. He has pretended
to be a trustee for the Filipinss and
the Porto Ricans, mysteriously ap-
pointed for the former by Providence
in order that he might elevate and
civilize them. He has promised
these wards OF ours constitutional
liberty and free trade with the Uni
ted States.
His deeds haye belied his words.
He has proved that Grosvenor spoke
the truth, that we are in the new
possessions for 'Fthe money we can
make out Of the transaction" He
is favoring the exploitation OF the
islands and their people for the profit
of the men who now dominate his
party.
There is an atmosphere of greedy
commercialism and of corruption
about this whole business of coloni-
cation. We are shamed bofore the
world becsnse the vilIainy which has
been hiding b. hind the Snug face of
hypocrisy has been discovered and
revealed"

It is stated he will soon hand in

Chances of Mr.. Tow
ne as Democratic
Vice Presidential
Nominee.
His Friends Fear Populist
Support Has Injured
Them.

In the opinion of democratic lead.
ers in Congress, if the friehds of
Charles A. Towne, of Minnesota,
were at all earnest in their desire to
see him nominated for Vice PreSid-
ent by the democrats in Kansas City
they killed his chances by permit
ing his nomination in Sioux Falls.
Senators Pettigrew and Butler
had conferences with Senator Jones,
of Arkansas, and other. democratic
leaders before they soent to South
Dakota. They argued that in return
for their Endorsement of Bryan the
populists and silver republicans
ought to be allowed to name the vi
ce Presidential candidate. The De-
mocratic leaders did not indose their
contention that the pOpulists were
making any concession in nominat-
ing Bryan.
"We nominate Bryan because we
want him." said the democratic lea
ders to Messrs, Pettigrew and But
tier. .sAnd you nominate him be-
cause you want him. You do not
nominate him in any spirit Of con-
cession or because of any considera.
tions for us. We stand exactly on
an equality in that matter. Noso,
to let your little band Of populists
and silver rcpublicans-conceding
that you are in every way loyal and
are as anxious as we are for victory
to go ahead and name a Vice Pre-
sidsntial candidate for the Democrats
of this country would be simply a
case Of the tail wagging the dog and
the democrats would not stand for it
