osTEoPATHY AGAIN.

A correspondent signing himself
"Medicus" pronounces ''osteopathy''
humbug. The Chronicle does not pro-
fess any knowledge of osteopathy, and
did not come to any conclusion on the
subject, but stated what purported to
be certain facts. If Rev. Sam Jones,
as he declares, was cured of disease by
osteopathy, as a number of other peo-
pie also state IN their own cases, 1t
would be difficult to make these peo-
pie believe that they are pitiful dupes.
If the skiIful manipulation of the skele-
ton has done good, we see no reason
why any one who desires this treat
ment should not avail himself of it.
It can do no harm, presumably 1t is
hardly probable that reputable oste-
opathist would imperil life by applying
his treatment in a case where active
remedies are needed promptly in a ma
lignant disease. The art of medicine is
experimental to great degree, and has
changed from time to time. We do not
know whether the osteopth claims to
cure diptheria and such other diseases,
but he does profess to cure some all
ments that other doctors have not rem
edIed. Bleeing used to be common
remedy, for example, and George Wash
ington and Lord Byron are supposed to
have lost their lives by this treatment.
| A number of doctors still believe that
q certain kind of fever is caused by the
atmosphere and other doctors say it is
caused by mosquitoes. Still other doc
| tors feel assured that it IS caused by
impure water-and we think they are
right. But there is no common agree
ment on these points. DR.. Oliver Wen
dell Holmes stated that if all the drugs
IN the world were dumped into the sea
no harm would come except to fishes.
Unden,ably medicine has made consld-
cradle progress and too much praise
cannot be given to the family doctor.
But still we do not see why osteopathy
should be condemned if it is aiding II
curing human ills, even though the
treatment may not be considered to be
orthodox by "Medicus. Augusta

For Mayor.

To the citizens OF Americas. At the
earnest solicitation of my personal
friends, and many acquaintance rep
resenting the various commercial and
industrial interests of our city, have
determined to become q candidate for
the Mayoralty of Americas. subject to
the action of the Democratic primary,
which will doubtless be ordered IN
due time.
My 10 .mer record as Mayor of the
city, together with my long resi- lence
as citizen, / trust will obviage the
necessity of personal canvass, which
business engagements would scarcely
permit at this time; so that I take this
method of announcing my candidacy,
and earnestly ask the consideration
and support of the people.
If elected, I pledge conservative,
economical and business-like admin
istration, devoted to every best inter-
est of the entire city and its people.
Respectfully, JNo, B. FIELDER.

INFANTILE INTEMPERANCE.

mothers convention IN Buff
falo a Miss Lindley, who is of course
not mother, announced that she had
found out the source of ''1ntemperauce
of all kinds" and that this is nothing
else than the constant sucking of the
rubber mouthpieces OF empty milk
bottles to which American babies are
much addicted. The mother who does
not keep her baby's bottle fnll, accord
ing to Miss Lindley,, io feeding NOR
bid desire. After milkless rubber,
such other useless and childish indul-
pces as chewing gum, cigarettes, to-
lsoacco and whisky, naturally follow in
their order, until the lowest scale of in
temperance is reached. Miss Lindley q
discovery is interesting, but whether
she will Danish intemperance from the
world by means of it remains to be
seen. It is always well to go to the
root-of things, but 1t may be doubted
whether the baby particularly the
American baby-can be induced to give
up its bad habit, even though the
bottle be always full. It is perhaps
not unknown to Miss Lindley that the
ruling passion, in fact the only pas
sion, with babies when they step upon
our earthly stage is a process of alb
sorption through the lips. So strong
is this passion that they insist upon
exercising it even when not hungry
and even upon objects that yield no
return, and if Miss Llndley takes their
empty rubber away tasteless finger

ARMY REORGANIZATION
The bill prepared by the war

The bill prepared by the war
department has been reported
favorably by the house commit
tee on military affairs, aud it will
doubtless become law. It is not g
bill that carries an appropriation,
or that touches the question Of
the size OF the ~stauclpg army
Such questions will cot be moved
by the administration until after
the November election, when it
hopes to be ready TO advise with
vigor and dispatch.
The bill reported aims to weed
out the evils that are connected
with staff service in Washington
evils that we're very conspi~
cuous and very expensive ia the
war with Spain. The bin pro-
poses to put the army on the
present navy basis by requiring
every staff officer to return TO the
line after four years of luxury
and idleness in Washington. It
gives the president power, too,
to change the heads Of any staff
department at any time. This is
open to the objection that it
brings "pull" into the army, but
as it is already there, not much
harm can be done,
The bill also proposes an i'm
portant change, in promotion
One-third of them would. under
the pending bill, be by selection
instead of by seniority. Length
and fitness of service are to be
recognized, This again brings il
politics, but politics is perhaps
less of an evil than blockhead.
ism, which the seniority rule OF
ten upheld. The plan proposed
is really a partial adoption of the
civil service plan, and as the pro.
posed promotions are to be based
on the findings of regimenta
boards, no harm will probably
come from it, and perhaps much
good.
The bill would abolish post
chaplains, and it would increase
the artillery force by drawing
men from other branches of the
service; Secretary Root is tryine
to bring the army up to the eff
iciency Of the navy, and he has
a big task in hand, especially II
the reorganization of the staff
departments of the army. They
