Medical state.men.

From the Journal American Medical Association.
Let us encourage race Of fairly paid
medical statesmen. and then medicine will
shortly occupy place in public esteem and
sociologic influence that is otherwise abso
IuteIy unattainab1e. In South and Central
America. and on the continent of Europe,
physicians frequently play the highest
parts In public affairs, greatly to the ben
eft of the nation and to the standing of
the profession Of medicine. The same
thing can be done In the United States IL
physicians are willing to follow the sug-
gestions herein outlined. We must find a
proper place for the term Medical States

News from Alden tells that pirates, as in
the good old days of DID, are troubling
the coastwise shipping, and the stretch of
Arabian water between Hodeida, Kunfadah
and up to Jeddah is not safe. There are
three Turkish warships cruising along the
Arabian coast, supposed to be doing spe-
cial sea police duty, but piracy is still go
ing on. To any one who knows aught of
the methods Of Turkish men-owar COM
nlanders this will not be astonishing. The
latest case reported is that Of a sambook
which left Hodeida for Kunfadah. loaded
with piece goods and merchandise worth
about $21 600 and $12 600 in cash. The crew
numbered fourteen, and there were twelve
passengers. While anchored for the night,
according to CUSTOM in a barren place near
the coast not very far from Jaizan, the
ship was, at midnight, boarded by two
fishing boats, containing twelve negroes
armed with large sticks. The negroes fell
on crew and passengers, beating them un-
mercifully, and, having tied up their hands
and legs. took charge Of the sambook and
sailed all night.
The following morning they arrived at a
small place on the coast. anchored, and four
Of them taking money went on shore. They
bought sixty rifles and 1900 cartridges,
came back on board. and sailed again all
day with their prisoners still tied up. After
sunset they came to place called rowan,
on the same coast, which is their home. On
anchoring. their friends crowded to the
shore and joyful1y helped them to discharge
the loot. After taking out all the cargo,
money, provisions and the crews and pas
sengers' clothes, they told them to clear
away with their sambook. giving them only
one days provisions The leader Of this
gang, named Ahmed Gobaish, is said to be
a well-known pirate and highwayman. He
is also the chief OF the place. Next day
