OUR SOLDIERS.

When you've finished fighting battles for the
Briton and the Boer,
And you've praised the burghers and the Tom
mics, too,
While you're head and neck and shoulders in an.
other country's war
Can't you spare a moment for the boy in
Bluc?"
He's rough and ready soldier in the far.of
Philippines,
But the Flipinos take him as they find him.
And whenc'er they sec him coming then they
know just what he means,
Rich men, poor men, sons Of the pillow and pen,
Some Of en- earn a cross Of bronze, some but
bit Of lead;
All of them doing their country's work and some
will come back again,
But some of 'em lie in the palm trees shade
dead-dead-dead
When you've scanned the daily papers for the
news from the Transvaal.
And you've read all that the expert critics said,
When you've studied out the meaning OF the
kopje, veldt kraal,
In one corner p'raps youll see a list Of dead.
II is dated from Manila and the print is rather
small,
But it means lot to those they left behind
EN-
"Killed in ambush by the Tagals," says the
They're so few it's not worth while for us to
mind 'em.
White men, black men, red men out OF the west
Fighting against an unseen foe, hoping to win
their bars,
Each of 'em doing his country's work, doing his
level best
To plant the flag Of the blood-red stripes and
the stars-stars--stars.
Let US not forget our men on active service in
the cast,
Dodgng bullets that il wouldn't do to Stop
For TO die out there by twos and three amt
easier in the least
Than by thousands on the slopes Of Spion Kop
Let us not forget the soldier who amt very
much for looks
| (For his marching order" couldn't be mucl
\ lighter,
| And who isn't used to fghting Just according tc
the books.
But you bet you're bottom dollar he's a fighter
| Big men, brave men, sons Of the country, all,
Fifty thousand, horse and foot gone to Manili
| Bay,
Each of 'em, leaving his home and friends, an
swerod his countrys call,
And many ne dead in the rice-ield's mire fo
| aye--aye-aye.

The Unanimity Requirement.

a PART FROM the room for
~ Improvement which exists
4 N in relation to the details of
administering our present
jury system, the Troy Record believes
that the system itself could be chang
ed to advantage so as to obYlate
drawn" juries, that is, juries held
up by the obstinacy or contrariness of
one or two Jurors.
"A radical improvement of this
kind" iC says, would be to make
juries consist of fifteen members, q
verdict of twelve of whom should be
binding, This would in no way de-
tract from the rights and privileges
of parties on trial or in a lawsuit
The same number of votes, twelve
would be required to convict or ac-
quit, to render a verdict for the plain
tiff or defendant. No ones interest
would suffer in the least. But one or
two obstinate or cranky or senti-
mental jurors would no longer be able
to defeat the ends of justice by fore
ing a disagreement, or compelling the
majority of their fellows to COM
promise on some verdict repugnant to
common sense. 1t may be objected
that the jury of twelve is one of the
institutions which have come down TO
us from past generations, one OF the
bulwarks Of our freedom, etc. There
are a great many things that have
come down from past generations
which are susceptible Of reform, and
the jury system is one Of them. Our
forefathers We're good enough men
but were not infallible and there is
no reason, sacred or secular, why
twelve should be the number TO de-
eide, any more than ten or fifteen
And both experience and common
sense adduce many reasons why unan-
unity in verdict should be required
no longer"

~ HE DECISION of the United
States Supreme court that
n it has no jurisdiction in the
contested election case of
Beckham VS.. Taylor, however unpleas-
ant in It's practical bearings, is in ac-
cordarce with common sense. The
people of Kentucky by their votes
elected the legislators who enacted the
Goebel law, they chose the judges Of
the state supreme court who passed
upon the validity of that law and rati-
fled its provisions; and while there has
been varying excitement and popular
passion in connection with the guber-
material controversy the merits of that
controversy from the legal point of
monwealth of Kentucky and the final
verdict must come from its citizens.
If the citizenship of Kentucky is
willing To acquiesce in the proposition
that majority vote for governor
shall not result in giving its recipient
the office; if it is ready to accept the
principle of the Goebel law that the
machinery OF elections is part of the
proper spoils Of politicians in power
and not a mechanism operated in trust
for all the people; IL IL Is prepared TO
be patient under all administration of
Justice by judges notcriously partisan,
who carry into the judicial office the
instincts and methods of the party
worker; and, finally, IL It is satisfied
to occupy the position before the puD
lie opinion of the country into when

n 5sfoTs Sy the the endSsS sraaus,ne %"'n'ss Sass
of the Woman's Medical col
lege of Pennsylvania, supplies another
example of the shrewd worldly wisdom
and well digested intelligence of this
interesting diplomatist. His theme was
the professional training of women,
and in treating of it he said:
The question of professional train
ing for women is different from that of
higher education. In China it is gen
orally believed that there is one sphere
of action for women and another for
men in the social economy. The ply
siOlogical differences of the sexes seem
to bear out this view. At any rate the
world has acted upon it for ages. l
am glad that women in this country
have gained such a strong position in
the medical profession that they can
hardly now be dislodged. In many re-
spects, medicine, of all the professions,
seems to be most suited for women, es-
pecially certain branches of it, such
as obstetrics, gynecology and the like.
the Chincae empire, midwifery is
practised only by women. You observe
from this that the men in China recog-
nize the principle that some things can
| be much better done by women, ana
| have the good sense to yield to the
| necessities of the situation. I wish |
could say this much of the men in
| America, for / am not a little sur
prised to learn that for all the boast Of
Anglo-SaXon fairness and chivalry,
medical women have had a hard time
in fighting their way against strong
opposition at every step to public
recognition and professional standing
l am sure they would receive a better
| treatment in China. Any one who
has sufficient skill and knowledge in
the art Of healing is freely allowed to
practise irrespective of nationality, sex
or creed, so long as he or she can get
patients.
IF the good people of this and other
countries had confined themselves to
sending only medical missionaries to
China, l should think missionary
trouble in my country would rarely
thrOpy that even the masses can ap-
preciate. A physician carries with
him his own recommendation. Horace
Greely, one of your noted men IN
journalism, used to advise young men
to go West to seek their fortunes. If
| TO cly 7
would say with Horace Greeley, Go
West, young ladies, and stop not on
this side of the Pacific, but rather push
on till you gain the further shore.
China has, it is generally estimat tied
a population of 400, 600 900, and a half
While men physicians are numerous
and the male portion of the community
is thus we'll taken care of, the number
of women doctors with the requisite
medical training is very small. If
therefore, you should find the pro,
fession too crowded in this country, my
advice to you is, go to China. There
is room enough and work enough in
my country for you ALL"
Undoubtedly the time is near a,
hand when, following railroad and
commercial development in China
there will be a large accordance OF
Minister Wus invitation to the womer
physicians of our country. 1t is a fielC
bound to attract the adventurous ant
one which offers almost unlimited op
pOrtunities.

The Bolt Falls.

~OMPLAINT at the methods
nracticed on and in councils
~ touching valuable legislation
put through or held up has
been frequent and emphatic but for the
greater part it has been general and
vague. The grand jury which under
took to investigate those methods re
ported that it discovered lot of smoke
but little fire. The warrants ISSUED
yesterday upon information sworn to
by Mr.. Sturges, Colonel Boies, ex-
Councilman Lansing and Captain May
will make possible another judicial in
quiry into this matter, and the hope
will be widespread that it will be thor
ough.
The man who takes a brbe is not
more guilty than he who gives one and
the law should pursue both relentlessly
The public is justly indignant because
certain men in the employ of the gov
ernment down in Cuba betrayed their
trust; but if there is proof of a be-
trayal Of trust in Scranton or of con-
spiracies on the part or special inter-
ests to bring about such betrayal on
the part of members of councils, the
local scandal is equally worthy of
probing and of punishment. The de-
PENDANTS are not to be prejudged they
are entitled to fair trial in open court.
But public opinion should see to it that
they do not get off with less than this;
and it should especimly insist that if
bribery has been practiced both prin-
ctpals to the crime shall be punished
as they deserve.
In this attitude it awaits develop
ments.
