The Peary-Dedrick Dispute.

DR.. Dedricks "explantion' of the trouble
between him and Explorer Peary in the far
north leaves much to be desired in point OF
detail and original cause. It gives the pub
lie no knowledge whatever Of the first IS
sues and deals only with the subsequent re-
lations between the explorer and the ply
sician, which were apparently strained to
a dangerous point, involving the health
and even the lives of members of the ex-
petition. 1t is not pleasant controversy
or in any sense helpful. The frozen
regions have been the scene of many TRACE
dies and beside them this personal differ
ence between two individuals becomes In
significant. Yet 1t will be important TO
know what caused the first breach between
Peary and the physician and why Peary
later refused to permit the physician to
visit the expedition and give medical at
tention to It's members. In cases of this
kind not only both sides but all of both
sides must be heard before Judgment is
passed.

A New Amusement for Alfonzo.

Young King Alfonzo of Spain. who has
since his accession shown himself to be
more of positive personality than was ex-
Pected, now has a cabinet crisis on his
hands, a source OF excitement which may
for a time divert his mind from some of
the other pursuits in which he has engaged
to break the tedium OF kings life. The
cabinet has resigned, and now the youthful
monarch will have his first fling at the
choosing of premier. 1t is an important
moment for the youngster Spain is In a
state requiring the utmost care in govern

too plethorlc and the people none too well

Reform Work in New York.

The reform administration OF New York
city has not altogether pleased all of the
elements which stand for municipal decency,
but it has accomplished at least few good
things 1t has thoroughly dIscredited the

resorts they pass only to those low in the
ranks and do not reach those high In au-,

dishonesty among fair-minded citizens, how
ever slow ii may have been in the eradica-
ton of evils. 1t has revealed the intrica-
cies OF the graft" and proved that the
gamblers and other vicious elements are not
easy of complete elimination.
Yesterday former Police Captain Moyna-
han, dismissed some months ago for I'M
proper practices as an officer, was arrested
a charge OF receiving brides from the
keeper OF disreputable house while he was
on duty. This action Is not calculated to
prove of much Importance in itself as affect

ton to take brides and his punishment could
only stand as a warning to present police
officers. But II Is promised that In connec-
tfon with the case evidence is to be had
which duplicates officers now on the force,
and may lead to a general prosecution.
Moynahan Is an excellent example of the

The Sleeping Girl.
From the New York Herald.


The death of the sleeping girl at st. Vim
cents ends the history of an interesting case
of It's kind. The apparent strangeness Of the
affection was the main element OF public
curiosity. For twenty days the patient slept
continuously, during which time there was
a very marked elevation OF bodily tempera-
ture with progressive exhaustion and final
collapse. Instances of the kind are, how
ever, not very uncommon, except In the
fatal ending Usually the victims recover
after varied period of Inconsistencies as
the disease Is for the most part purely hys-
tericaI In character and occurs most FREE
quentiy in young, nervous females. The
seizures are apt to be quite sudden and the
recovery equally SO. Ordinarily there is a
marked hereditary predisposition present,
and several members of family have been
known to be afflicted in different degrees In
pronounced cases the patient is apt to drift
either into dementia or absolute insanity.
Not infrequently the attacks of the trance
like condition can be voluntarily induced
and maintained by species Of mesmeric
influence, as has been proved by the Curl
Gus performances of the faltirs of india
Considering the purely nervous character
of the ailment, it is not surprising to learn
that the autopsy failed to show any organic
changes either in the brain or other vital
organs

The Change-of- Date Question.

When Congress meets next month 1t will
be confronted not only with the necessity
of crowding much necessary legislation into
the short life of the odd-year session, but
with the complications and combinations Oh
a speakership contest, already entered by
four candidates, with others certain to pre-
sent themselves shortly. The election of
Speaker will not occur, unless an extra
session of Congress Is called until a year
from next month. So that one of the most
absorbing topics of the last half of the
Fifty-seventh Congress will relate to the
choice Of a presiding officer for the Fifty
eighth. And similarly should the Speaker
chosen next year be out OF the race TWO
years hence by reason Of declination or de-
feat or the election of an adverse majority,
the final session of the Fifty-eighth Con-
gress will be largely given over to maneu-
vering for speakership advantage fer the
Fifty-ninth. And the process, under the
present system, Is unending unless the
Speaker is man Of such strength as to
scare away all competitors.
This complication Is due to the retention
of the old msft schedule of elections and
Congress organization. 1t was wrong in
the beginning and is worse than ever now.
1t has been outgrown by the development
of the railroads and the telegraph and
the newspaper press. The necessity for the
long lapse between the choosing and the
assembling of Congress has passed forever.
The Congress chosen last Tuesday could
assemble on the first of January without
the least difficulty and with advantage to
the country, which would then receive the
benefit of immediate results from any
change OF political dominance.
The change would. Of. course, involve
some difficulties. When the amendment
proposed for changing the inauguration
date was under discussion by the House
committee on judiciary last spring The Star
noted how this project and that for the
immediate assembling OF Congress could be
combined. 1t would be necessary in order
to effect a January meeting either to
lengthen or to shorten one Congress by
year. Thus by dropping the coming session
of the Fifty seventh it would be possible to
inaugurate the Fifty eighth in January. Or
by lengthening the Fifty seventh so that it
would end with the close of the session fol-
lowing this next one, the Fifty-eighth could
be organized in January, 1905.
The Star has concerned itself more es-
pecialIy with the inaugural change-of
date proposition as Of Importance to the
people of Washington and to the health of
the great numbers of tourists who come
here for the ceremony. 1t breaches the
subject Of a January opening now in the
hope of reviving interest in the whole ques
ton of a Encouragement of the national
schedule, which is today so far behind the
times. The spectacle of an entire session
of Congress marked by the shiftings and
maneuvers of the speakership candidates
should prove sufficient to persuade the peo-
pie that the time has come to bring the
governmental calendar up to date.

Hasty Autopsies.

A young woman died in a New York hos
pital Saturday after having lain in sleep
for several weeks. Within an hour after
the breath had left the body she was placed
on an operating table and an autopsy was
under way. The father of the girl object
ed. but was unheeded. He tried to secure
police Intervention. but found red tape in
his way and by the time he had interested
the coroner the autopsy was in progress
and intervention was useless. In answer
to his frenzied protests the physicians in
volved in the case showed a contract with
the girls mother granting permission for
the post mortem. Later 1t developed that
the girl had asked her mother to have such
an operation performed because she feared
to be buried alive. This would have SEEM
ed to Justify the fathers fears that the girl
was not dead. But 1t awaited nothing with
the surgeons, who exhibited haste which
can only be termed inhuman and criminal.
The case was unquestionably of great sci
entiic interest. The cause of the long
trance could not be ascertained and the pa
tient responded to none Of the many de-
vices and remedies adopted for her awak-
ening. But despite the haste with which
the body was opened after apparent death
the investigators found absolutely nothing
the girls death. The mystery remains I'M
solved.
Somebody should be made to explain
promptly and satisfactorily for this disre-
gard not only for the protests of the father
but for the ordinary dictates of prudence
The very nature of the case warranted ex-
ira precautions against premature opera
lions. Delay would hardly have spoiled the
chances Of the scientists to learn something
of value. 1t might have led to some per
sonal ANNOYANCE and inconvenience. but
these are not to be weighed against a hu-
man life. There is altogether too much
reckless devotion to science in some of the
hospitals of large cities. Patients are
treated often as though they were mere
mannikins. Clinics of great value, of
course. and are to Re encouraged. But too
often even ir clinics the welfare OF the i'm
mediate patient is subOrdinated to the

terity or courage and the demonstration

Mr. watterson and the Tariff.

The 4Ssar-Eyed Goddess making eyes at
Mr. German? Is 1t a mere Irritation? Is
the Kentucky tariff belle to be rated as a
summer girl? Can 1t be that she is fck!e'
putting of the old love and putting on the
new with a sort Of laughing ease?
Mr. watterson and Mr.. German have
always been as far apart as the poles on
the subject of the tariff. While their per-
sonal relations have been cordial their dif-
ferences on that subject have several times
brought them into sharp conflict 1t was
Mr. German who appeared at the st. Louis
convention In 1888 with tariff plank repu-
dating Mr. Cleveland's famous message or
the year before. and it was Mr.. Watterson
who defeated the plank in committee and
induced the convention to stand by the mes
sage. 1t was Mr.. German who as the demo-
cratic leader in the Senate In the spring OF
1894 made scraps of the democratic tarir
plank Of the platform upon which the DEM
ocracy had returned to power and 1t was
Mr.. Watterson who, even more vigorously
than Mr.. Cleveland In his Wilson letter, de-
nounced that performance. And yet here
Is Mr.. Watterson proposing Mr.. German Tor
President when democrats north and south
are doing their level best to muster again
under the real banner of tariff reform.
II this affair Is not fiirtation-a ma
neuyer of some sort to draw Mr.. German or
the country-but represents what, in both
the political and the social world, Is called
business then we have interesting
and important announcement For either
Mr.. German Is not as stouthearted for pro-
lection as formerly, or Mr.. Watterson Is
not as stouthearted for free trade. 1t Is
but fair to suppose the latter, because Mr..
Watterson is the one to speak. And to
what extent may he have modified his tariff
views? How much less of tariff reformer
is he now than in 1876 when he supported
Mr.. Tilden on an unequivocal tariff utter
ance, than in 1880 when after General Han
cocks defeat he declared that tariff reform
must be nailed to the masthead, than in
1888 and in 1892 when he successfully re-
sisted the efforts of Mr.. German and his
friends to straddle the issue for votes at
the polls?
Mr.. Watterson Is, of course, prepared
with particulars. He usually is. So let US
have them. Democrats everywhere are talk
ing tariff, and for that matter are good
many republicans. 1t Is live issue. We
shall be hearing good deal on the subject
during the next eighteen months, and not
improbably the next national campaign
may be fought on the tariff issue. But has
1t come to pass that when Mr.. Watterson
and Mr. German talk tariff they now mean
the same thing? II that Is true then we
must have a word from Mrt Cleveland.
