We quoted from the Louisville (Ky)
/ Courier-Journal a day or two ago an
editorial paragraph which placed ev-
erybody connected with the medical
/ colleges Of that city, and others whom
It might concern, on notice that the
Courier-Journal could no longer be
looked to for sympathy and suppress
sions in the alleged interest of science"
where body snatching was concerned.
The paragraph gave evidence of hav-
ing been written with great feeling. Com
ing just as it did shortly after the hor-
rible disclosures of grave robbery and
body snatching in Indianapolis, where
a gang of ghouls had been operating
for years and had robbed great num-
Der of graves of their bodies for dis
secting purposes, it was natural to sup
pose that the Courier-Journal had
found a similar sensation in Louis
Vile
1t transpires, however, that there has
been nothing in Louisville as bad as
in Indianapolis. The paragraph, IL
seems, was written by Col Watterson,
who. in sorrow and indignation, had
just rescued the body of a former
friend from the demonstrators pool"
of five local medical colleges, where
it was awaiting transfer to the dis
secting table and thence to a pauper's
grave. The body was that of a man
named Walker. In former years he
was rich, and was a member of several
prominent clubs in New York. During
the days of his prosperity Col Waiter
son had known him and been his
friend. OF late, however, Walker had
dropped out of sight Poverty had
overtaken him. Recently he was ad-
mitted to a Louisville hospital as
charity patient. He was there only a
short while when he died. Col Wat
terson learned of his identity and his
death at the same time, and gave or
ders for the body to be embalmed and
prepared for burial at his expense.
When search was made for it the
body was found "in a heap of thirty
others" in the picking vat. 1t was
rescued and given decent burial in a
lot owned by the Courier Journal. Mr..
Watterson's Indignation caused him to
throw the weight of his papers mfiu-
ence against the grewsome practices
of the colleges.

A RAILROADS HARD LUCK.

The Pennsylvania Railroad is having
great deal Of trouble with the New
York Board of Aldermen. 1t was
thought when it proposed to dig a tun-
mel under New York City it would
have no difficulty to get the necessary
franchise. 1t went ahead and spent
millions of dollars in the purchase of
property in the very heart of the city,
but it has been months in trying to get
the necessary permission to construct
the tunnel, and, as far as can be seen,
it is just as far from achieving it's pur-
pose as 1t was at the beginning Of its
undertaking.
The aldermen who are opposing the
railroad say that the charter must be
amended in two important particulars,
namely, the grant must not be in per-
petuity and it must be agreed that the
laborers shall work only eight hours
day and be paid the prevailing rate
of wages"
Several weeks ago it was announced
that Mr.. Murphy, the new Tammany
leader. had given orders to put the
charter through" 1t seems that the
report was without foundation. Mr.
Murphy now says that Tammany has
ter. and that each alderman is acting
on his own responsibility.
A great corporation, which has the
support of public sentiment, is prac-
4 hal IN hxF LAT -. ~,.l III
ticians who are striving to strengthen
their hold upon the laboring men of
New York City. 1t is expected that
the Pennsylvania Railroad will pay
out s2b, 100000 in wages in carrying out
its great enterprise. These politicians
say that the money shall be spent in
accordance with their views, as far as
the interests of labor is concerned.
At first there were rumors that the
railroad was being held up-that what
was needed was a pot of money for
distribution among those aldermen who
are opposing the enterprise, but that
opinion no longer prevails. 1t now
seems to be admitted that it is simply
a question of amending the charter,
so as to make 1t conform to the wishes
Of the aldermen who are blocking the
roads plans. A great undertaking
which has the best wishes of a vast
majority of the people of New York
city is being delayed, and. it may be
defeated, simply because a few politi-
clans feel they have the power to make
a great corporation comply with their
| wishes.

And so, it seems. Mamie DeCris
is addicted to the morphine habit!
Does not that account for the extraor-
binary letters she wrote from Atlanta,
giving an account of an imaginary &C
cident in which her grandmother and
her fiancee were killed? 1t may even
account for her conduct in getting cost
ly jewelry from two or three of the
jewelry stores of this city. She says
that she has been in the habit of taxi
ing morphine about a year. She has
been telling SO many things which
have but little foundation in truth that
she may be making misleading state
ments in regard to this matter. 1t Is
pretty safe conclusion that she has
a diseased brain-that she is on the
borderland of insanity. 1t may be that
for many years she has been gradually
degenerating, and the morphine she
has been taking recently has only
helped to develop her degeneracy. II
permitted to pursue the course that
she has been following it is probable
that she will eventually reach the luna
tic asylum.
A bill has been introduced into the
Legislature which is intended to throw
safeguards around the sale of cocaine.
1t would not be against the welfare of
society If there were greater difficulties
in the way of getting a number of
other drugs-opium, choral, ether and
chloroform. All of these. as we'll as al
cohol, make drunkards. The victims
of them are to be found in every COM
munity-many of them-and all the
victims are approaching or have ar
rived at the borderland of insanity.
Some are walking the streets, greet
ing friends and acquaintances as if
there was nothing the matter with
them, though once in a while some
thing queer in their actions is notice
able, others are found in the hospitals
and jails. They find their way to an
early grave or the lunatic asylum.
1t is a question if every one who
uses to excess a poison as stimulant
victim of brain disease. The stimu-
liant, whether II be alcohol. opium,
morphine. cocaine or some other drug
only hastens the development of the
disease. If druggists and physicians
would talk freely about the use of
drugs that are intended In the first
instance perhaps to deaden pain or in
duce sleep they could doubtless tell
some startling stories as to the mum
Der of victims of these drugs. Their
testimony would be probably that
when the habit Of taking stimulants is
once formed it is seldom abandoned
and that the path OF the victim IL
steadily downward to the asylum OF
the grave.

The Morning News has a high admi-
ration for the character and courage
of the late Lieut.. Thomas NJ. Brum5y.
who was Commodore Deweys flag
lieutenant on the occasion of the spIen-
did hight in Manila Bay. Brumby stood
by Dewey's side on the bridge Of the
Olympia, and communicated the COM
mander's orders TO the fleet. He dis
charged the duties to which he had
been assigned fearlessly and well, as
did also the other Americans in the
action. 1t is proposed TO erect mon
ument to the memory Of Lieut.. Brum-
by in the Capitol grounds at Atlanta.
Good sailor, good American and good
Georgian as he was, were his services
Of such character as to warrant this
distinction? 1t would be quite proper
to erect a monument to him in some
city park or square, but to place a
memorial within the grounds of the
state Capitol would be to mark Mr..
Brumby as one of the states most dis
tinguished and illustrious sons. Is
that quite true? Is II not a fact that
there are in the history of the state the
names of a number of Georgians
whose lives and public services were
far greater and more important than
Mr.. Brumby's but who are still with
out monuments in the Capito.
grounds or elsewhere?

A NEW VIEW OF THE MONROE
DOCTRINE.

The demands which Germany and
Great Britain are making upon Vene-
zuela for claims held by their respec-
tive citizens bring the Monroe Doc
| trine into view again. In this coun-
/ try no one has the idea that these de-
mands have any relation TO that doc
| trine, but IL seems that in England
the opinion is entertained that if the
/ United States assume the right to
exercise a certain amount of influence
in the affairs of Central and South
| American Republics they ought to
! pay the debts of these republics when
they cannot pay them themselves.
The London Daily New in discussing
this subject recently said: The best
line for England and Germany to take
is to make the United States respon-
sible for troubles within their sphere
of influence" 1t also said that if the
United States are to nave the privi-
leges Of the Monroe Doctrine they
should have its duties.
Of course the Daily News knows
enough about the Monroe Doctrine
to know that the only privilege the
United States exercise under the Mon
roe Doctrine is to prevent any Eu-
ropean power from acquiring any more
territory in the Western hemisphere
than it now possesses. They don't
bother with the affairs of the repub-
lies south of them to any greater ex-
tent than that.
In view of the fact that Great Britain
and all the other European powers
know they must respect the Monroe
Doctrine they would very much like
to have the view of that doctrine set
forth by the London Daily News ac-
cepted. Each one of them would pile
up a big lot of claims against these
South and Central American Repub-
lies and then call the United States
before the Hague court on a demand
for their payment.
1t is hardly probable that any Amer
lean statesman would risk his repu-
tation for craftsmanship by propos-
ing that the United States should be-
come responsible for the debts of
South and Central American Republics.
1t was reported in the dispatches the
other day that a banking firm of
New York visited Washington with a
proposition that the firm would pay off
the claims of Germany and Great
Britain against Venezuela If the
United States would guarantee the
firm against loss. 1t is the understand
ing that the bankers got no encour-
agement. And it is not easy to under
stand why they expected any.
The United States do not object to
Great Britain and Germany collect
ing the claims they have against Ven
ezuela. Indeed they rather approve of
their collecting them. But they say
to them that they will not be
permitted to take territory in pay
ment for their claims. OF course it
is rather disagreeable to them not
to be permitted to do as they please,
but that is the situation and they will
have to accept 1t. When the Monroe
Doctrine was first formulated there
was a disposition on the part of the
nations of Europe to treat il with
something akin to contempt They have
no disposition to do that now. They
regard it with very great respect.
