MEDICAL MONOPOLY.

Many papers are taking up the sub
tect of the encroachments Of the medl-
cal fraternity upon the liberties OF the
people. and showing the danger OF these
advances and their menace to the pub
lie welfare. 1t is a subject worthy OF
thought and the consideration of legis-
lators. The following concerning II is
an editorial from the Denver Post;
II 1t is true that the regular medi-
cal practitioners find II impossible 10
make living without securing a mono
poly Of the practice under an act OF the
legislature. perhaps II would be wise to
consider some method Of granting pen
,sions rather than to retire from prae-
tice men and women who seem 10 be
able 10 effect cures without having gone
through certain medical schools II Is
alleged that the regular doctors want
protection from quacks, but II the ques-
ton Is left 60 the public 1t VIII llnd II
oftentimes hard 70 decide winch are
quacks and which are not quoeks. TO-
tally irrespective of the sheepskln Whlcn
they may own.
AS a matter Of fact the medical pro-
fesslon has improved relatively little III
theory II 1t has in method since the Gays
of Dr. Sangrado, when. through freeiy
bleeding and drenching the patent, as
we are informed by the yeracious le
Sage. he was speedily rendered III
subject for the attentions of the uhoer-
taker. The modern methods are less
coarse than they used to pc put IL -
still surprising how much guessing the
best Of physicians are forced 10 90 III
diagnosing diseases. and how very Tar
oway they sometimes get from the real
seat Of the trouble. If there were llNed
rules TO guide the physician and he
oonld always invariably follow them.
then A would only be question O.
learning those rules and applying them.
But the practice of the art OF healing IL
something entirely different from THIS.
The same disease in one patient may
have very different manifestations IN
another with result that 1t requires
very different treatment. Temperament
environment, atmospheric condltlons,
many things modify or change the
evmntoms and the very best guide that
tho books can give the doctor is llst
az symptoms for what Is called typl-
cal case but which, as a matter OF fact,
;s case which never occurred ana
nosslbly never could have occurred.
Physicians are therefore even more
| falllble than the majority OF their fell
| laws When they attempt 10 set up an
arbitrary standard and say that under
| tho law patients must be cured by GER
tain prescribed methods .; Or die they scy
simply render themselves ridiculous, ios
| they themselves can lay down no marc
and fast rules OF cure. and very often II
the S would confess 1t are quite as much
surprised 10 find that some patient has
recovered as that another patient mas
| died. a..s .,
,ononolies-medical or otherwise--and
viii follow public sentiment in taking
The ground that the regular practitioner
who cannot make living without be-
Inc granted a monopoly under the law
ehould turn his attention in the direc-
zion of agriculture or some pursuit CALI
ing more loudly for manual dexterity
Than mental strength.

KING EDWARDS SPEECH,
Chicago News.

As to the address itself. It is signlfl-
cant that directly or incidentally the
greater part of ii pertalned TO the
South African war. The reference
TO the "fruitless warfare maintained
by the Boer partisans In the former
territories of the two republics" can
scarcely be considered rhetorlcally
proper In view Of the fact that later it
was admitted 1.-THE prolongation of the
hostilities in South Africa had in
duced him ito make a further call on
the patriotism and devotion of Canada
and Australasia" The further as
surance, also. that large additional
reinforcements from these colonies will
embark for the seat of war at an
early date" is a statement that can
hardly be logically construed In har-
mony with the representation Of the
"fruitless guerilla warfare maintained
by Boer partisans." AS the same in
consistencies, however. are to be no.
ticed in the leading London journals
in speaking of the war, II must be sup
posed that King Edward in this part Of
his address rs neither more nor less
illogical and inconsistent than his loyal
subjects.

people there Is much dissatisfaction
with the government. The disastrous re-
suits Of the war are ascribed, as gem
orally Is the case when people has
been defeated not TO the superiority OF
the American navy and army, but to the
inefIlclency Of their own rulers, To this
comes the necessity Of meeting the
heavy indebtedness caused by the war
and the loss OF the colonies and the
consequent reduction OF pensions ana
salaries, by which the burden is sad
died on those least capable of carrying
Il. This is resented. Dissatisfaction
with the government Is growing, ana
freely expressed.
Politically the country Is broken up
In numerous factions. no two OF which
are agreed on line OF policy, This
weakens the government, No matter
what course II adopts, II Is sure TO find
vigorous opposition General Weyler
Is the most powerful man In Spain at
the present time, and curiosity Is
aroused as to how he Is likely TO use
his power, whether for the support OF
the crown or for self.aggrandlzement'
Once before a captain general has
overthrow the Spanish government,
and that within the memory OF most
Of us. At that time Spain was expert
ts,ef Ntslt InrTn
government, IN which the cortez was
the supreme authority. Spain was then
| confronted with an instruction az
home, and one In cuba. and O possible
war with the United states. Don Man
ue Payia held the position now ocou-
| pied by Weyler. lie ordered his troops
| to surround the parliament aud In
| formed the legislators that they must
| leave the building. Some refused and
| declared they would rather die on their
posts, but the building was soon filled
with armed soldiers, and the cortez fled
In confusion. The republican govern
ment was terminated, after the brief
existence of few months, Pavia, how
ever, refused to assume the role Of die
tator. A provisional government was
formed, and Alfonso, the son OF the de-
posed Isabella was invited back.
The time, It Ia believed, is favorable
now for a similar coup. But II Is safe
to say that II Weyler undertakes Il, he
will not refuse the opportunity OF as
Stunning full power This man, very well
described as lean, dimlnutlye, shrv-
eed, ambitious for immortality ire
spectvo of It's odor, master Of diplo'
macy, the slave Of Spain for the glory
OF sitting at the right Of her throne, un'

OF almost anything for fame and power
He has Jailed sgnally in the positions
Of trust he has formerly occupied dur
ing critical periods of Spaln's history
But luck has smiled upon him 10 thu
extent, that he has always been ablt
to withdraw at the right moment ant
leave the odlum of defeat to his sue
cessors. Spain in the hands of such
man. is 10 be pitied. Were the gov
eminent managed by wise and unset

have chance to more than recoye
