New-York tribune., 1902-01-13

The interesting suggestion has been made by
DR. Frank Van Fleet that the legislature should
be asked to enact laws establishing trained
nurses standard" to be administered by State
examining board under the control OF the
Regents of the University of the State Of New
York. The idea is well worthy of thoughtful
consideration, and will doubtless provoke much
comment, pro and con. One thing is certain,
that the system Of trained nurses, male and
female has come to stay, an invaluable ad-
junct to the medical and surgical profession
The esteem in which it is held by both physi-
clans and laymen is shown by the way in which
the former recommend to their patients the en-
gagement of trained nurses, and by the exist
ence Of long line of such institutions extending
in this city from the pioneer Bellevue Training
School for Nurses down to the latest, the
Margaret Fahnestock Training School for
Nurses, which latter is a direct tribute 10
nurses care of patient 1t follows that any
measure is to be welcomed which will assure a
proper standard Of efficiency in trained nurses
Whether that end is best to be attained in the
way suggested by the president of the New
York County Medical Society is the question to
be considered. We already have laws supervis-
ing the qualifications of physicians and sur
geons. of dentists, and of veterinary surgeons

THE MEASURE OF CUBAN RELIEF.

There now seems to be a general agreement
that some measure Of commercial relief must
promptly be granted to Cuba. The question is
4 TO what extent tariff concessions shall be made
in that islands favor. Various figures have
been suggested. ranging from 20 per cent re-
duction of the sugar duty to outright free trade
In that II not In other commodities. The Ques-
ton is not simple one. but there are definite
and readily ascertainable data for its solution
and its solution should be sought on such
grounds. and not be effected through sentiment
or by chance. In reckoning the rate of tariff
protection needed for any of our industries men
make use Of statistical facts and market figures
It will be well TO deal with Cuban reciprocity in
The same way.
The need of the Cubans is not merely to avoid
actual loss on this seasons sugar, but to make
"A reasonable profit, sufficient TO enable them to
continue their business and thus to restore gen.
eral prosperity. Anything short of that will fail
10 effect the purpose for which reciprocity is de-
sired. The question then arises, At what price
can Cubans sell their sugar at reasonable profit?
Those best Informed are Of opinion that very
Jew can put their sugar into the New-York
market, duty paid, at less than four cents while
the great majority cannot do so at less than
from SD TO 4-25 cents without actual loss
now the present price Of German sugar is about
n
crease and our tariff rate is .e5 of a cent II Is
apparent then, that tariff reduction or rebate
TO Cuba of 20, or 25, or even 33 per cent sucb
as some have suggested. would hardly serve the
needs of the case. 1t might enable part of the
Cuban sugar producers to squeeze through the
season without actual loss but would probably
leave them at the end OF the season no better
of, in possession or in promise, than at the be-
ginning.
That certainly is not the way In which this
nation wishes 10 deal with those who are-at
least for the present-its wards. That would
not answer the requirements Of either morals
or interest 1t would not discharge our logical
duty toward Cuba. 1t would not open profit
able markets In Cuba for our merchandise tt
would not so stimulate Cuban industry and
commerce as to assure to that island the in
creased revenue which. according TO the budget
figures which we printed the other day, II i'm
peratively needs Protection that does not pro.
tect is. as Denman said of something else. "a
Dockery, snare and delusion." So is a con-
cession which does not concede So is reciproe-

PISTOLS IN THE SOUTH AND ELsEWHERE.

PISTOLS IN THE SOUTH AND ELSEWHERE
Fire eating chivalry is on the way to extinc-
ton in the South. Public opinion. recognizing
the foolishness OF oldtime ideas OF honor" has
practically done away with "the code" and
within the last year two legislation has been
invoked in Southern States which should mate
rally lessen the number Of street shootngs and
chance encounters in which the pistol PLAYS a
part Laws prohibiting the carrying of con-
cealed weapons are, Of course on the statute
books: but their effect has been minimized by
the failure OF the courts to impose suitable
punishments upon the persons convicted OF
carrying arms unlawfully
Now Memphis Judge has announced that
he will make Imprisonment with hard labor
the penalty in every case where conviction for
carrying concealed weapons is obtained. and
that he will not allow the alternative of a fine
whoever the offender may be. He has already
made examples Of several cuIprits. After July
1, 1902. ii will be illegal to sell any pistol in
South Carolina that is less than twenty-five
inches long and weighs less than three pounds.
Obviously it would be difficult to conceal such
a weapon. In Georgia also there has been a
marked increase in the severity Of the punish
ment inflicted upon violators of the law in that
State
In certain other States the sale of pistols IS
taxed, while many communities require the
purchaser of n revolver to secure a permit be-
fore the sale Is made This regulation would
seem to work no hardship to dealers in arms.
and its adoption in this State, where now a
permit TO carry pistol Is required, would be a
gain to the cause of law and order.
