Appendicitis is Not New.

"Why is it" asked man of a
physician. "that SO many people
are suffering these days with ap-
pendicitis, and have to be operated
upon, when there didn't used to be
any of them2"
"My young friend" the doctor
answered, this disease has been in
the world ever since Adam was
perhaps the story of his losing a
rib may have arisen because he was
operated upon for appendicitis.
When your grandfather was a boy
his neighbors had it all around him,
and SO they did when you were a
boy. But they called it infiamma-
tion of the bowels, stomach ache,
acute Indigestion, liver trouble, or
something of that sort. The pa
tient got well or he died, but no
one ever opened him when living
to see what the matter was. Per-
haps it is well that they did not,
for much of the surgery of those
days was more dangerous than any
disease. Cleveland Plain Dealer.

DEALING WITH THE mOROS.

General Davis's message from Bayan. for
warded by General Chaffee is highly crafty
ing II is, OF course to be deplOred that the
Moros made il necessary 10 deal fOrcibly with
them But since they did create that necessity
il is well that they are being dealt with prompt
ly inexorably and triumphantly. 1t is We'll
thus TO deal with any antagonist in any war,
but especially so in a conflict with savage or
half civilized foe possessing an exaggerated
estimate of his own prOwess. In this present
case hesitation or faltering would have been in
terpreted by the MOros a confession of weak
ness and fear, while a failure 10 carry the day
at the first onset would have encouraged them
10 believe themselves stronger than the United
States of America. 1t is not over the magni-
tude of the engagement at Bayan that men will
rejoice for ii was scarcely big enough to be
called a battle. but rather over the clean cut
and decisive character of the victory won by
our troops and over the moral effect which is
likely TO be produced by it upon the Moros.
They are IT, is said, fierce and warlike peO-
pie. Such are precisely the people TO he most
Impressed and influenced by the exercise of ir-
resistible power. One of the greatest warrior
races of Asia are the Sikhs, and they have been
of all the most loyal TO the British Empire ever
since they were soundly convinced of its mill
tant strength.
General Davis is probably not oversangulne
I'm expecting n general surrendering Of the dis
affected chieftains when the weight Of his blow
becomes known among them Small as the en-
eapement was il was really crushing blow,
and that as General Davis says. is the only
kind of lesson the wild Moros seem able to ap-
preciate. Among the decisive battles of the
world" some are enumerated which were little
more than skirmishes. estimated by the num-
bers engaged 1t may well be that this brisk
storrning of the fort at Bayan will prove de-
cisive in the campaign against the MorOs. What
is certain is that il well conceived and
well executed, and as well calculated as any
thing could have been to teach the necessary
lesson and 10 establish the authority Of the
American flag in that part of our insular posses
eions General Davis and his men appear 10
have acquitted themselves in accordance with
the best traditions OF the American army, and
70 have earned the gratitude which has been
EXPRESSED TO them by the President. 1t is. by
fhe way Instructive 10 observe that "some
..Aforo wornded tried 10 stab soldiers trying TO
s.heip them" That was scarcely the manifesto
fiop of an amiable trait, or OF one that com
mends the Moros 10 humane consideration. The
same habit was long ago observed in Fuzzy
wuxzy" who is generally shammin when 'es
dead" But II does not appear that trucuency
ss to be less resented or that treachery is less
culpabie In a wounded than In an unwounded

OFTEN WTLHFLHINA.

Anxiety and disappointment prevail through
out the Netherlands. The bulletin issued yes
terday morning by the Queens physicians told
a sad story. though 1t happily gave renewed
hope of her majesty's restoration to health. The
latter consideration is, of course paramount.
Above all, the Dutch desire the saving of their
young Queens life. OF that there now appears
TO be good hope. But next. and very earnestly,
they desire an heir 10 the throne in order that
the sovereignty may be kept In the direct
Orange line and there may be no danger of a
loss of national individuality through the acces
sion of some prince with alien predictions. In
this latter desire they are again bitterly disap
pointed. They will not grudge the price which
has been paid for the life of their Queen, but
they cannot help feeling that it is the heaviest
of prices.
Into the political and dynastic considerations
of the case aliens can scarcely be expected TO
enter with native sympathy, although there is
scarcely land where the anxieties of a dis
puted succession to the headship of the State
have not at times been known. The humanities
OF the case are, however, such as appeal to all
with equal force. 1t would not be pleasant to

WATER SUPPLY ADMINISTRATION.

If the first feeling of citizen on learning that
the Merchants Association is TO cooperate with
the water supply office in checking frauds on
the water revenue and in devising better sys-
TEN for managing that branch of the public
business is one of satisfaction, the second feel
ing must he one of surprise that such services
are necessary. 1t appears strange that the head
of an important department should be con-
strained 70 accept the aid of an organization or
private individuals in detecting trickery and
establishing satisfactory methods of admins
tratiOn; but Commissioner DOugherty Is TO be
praised for acknowledging and taking means to
supply from a responsible outside source the
lack of facilities of which he had become aware.
In n letter to the president of the Merchants
Association he recently explained that there
was no appropriation available for expert ser
vices in completing the evidence of frauds put
at his disposal by the association. and said that
owing TO the multitude of his other tasks its
aid in devising improved methods OF admins
tering the department would also be acceptable.
If Mr. DOugherty is right. better system Is
sOrely needed. He characteriZes the present
one as confusing and conglomerate,' and his
specifications seem to bear out that descrip-
ton. The natural powers and duties relating to
the management of the water supply are not
concentrated in his office, but so distributed as
to complicate the accounts and in some degree,
to leave the question of responsibility doubtful.
For this the charter is apparently to blame, and
consequently in need of amendment. 1t is pos
sbe that the opinion of the Commissioner, who
disclaims any desire TO magnify his office, Will
not be adopted by all of his colleagues in the
city government and it may be stOutly disputed
by the Aqueduct Commission; but such an in
vestgation as the Merchants Association is
che, or Gln hat iS
right and what is wrong in the existing arrange
ments. AS to the positive charge that the city
has been Systematically and grossly defrauded
in the matter Of water revenue there Is no
reason to suppose that the facts have been eXag-
gerated, though legal proofs may not be easy TO
procure. In any case the Merchants Associa-
ton is doing a dsinterested service, for which 1t
deserves commendatiOn, as does Mr.. DOugherty
for accepting its offer.
