Three Possible States.

The House has passed the omnibus
bill providing for the admission as
states of Arizona, New Mexico and
Oklahoma. The bill would go as read
lily through the Senate were 1t not for
the fear that all three-two, at least
would become Democratic. It is really
a matter Of politics rather than of
broad justice to three territories.
All three have population enough to
justify admission. Oklahoma has $685.
331, exclusive Of some Indians not
taxed; New Mexico has 194,182 and
Arizona has 122,931. If the arid land
bill goes through all three will be-
come populous and prosperous. Ari-
zona and New Mexico are full Of
mineral wealth, and Oklahoma will
become very speedily great agricul-

territories" says Congressman Woods
Of California, represents as fine

in any other part of the country.

these troubles are the dollhouse fac

these factories charge and the taxes
that the government demands, the

with starvation they flock to the

: The Russian finance minister, M.
Mite, is an able man, but he cannot

VIII Live In EnsleY

The Rev. Father Kennedy who has been
a member of the household of the Rev.
Father O'Reilly in Birmingham for four
years past, will take up his residence in
Ensley after the second Sunday In June.
He has been pastor of St Anthonyss

MONT PELEE AND NICARAGUA

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
The opponents of the Nicaragua canal
insist that the eruption OF Mont Pelee
makes 1t necessary to postpone all
isthmian canal legislation indefinitely.
They contend that In the face of the ter
rible upheavel at Martinique 1t would
be unwise to pass or attempt to pass
the Nicaragua canal bill at this session
of Congress.
Four years ago the Pacific Railway lob
by wanted information. and canal Leg
islation was delayed. Two years ago the
Clayton Bulwer treaty threw the railway
lobbyists into a panic. and again there
was delay.
When the Clayton Bulwer treaty was
removed the Panama scheme was ex-
plotted. This having ceased TO interest
the American people, the opponents of
an isthmian canal turn to the volcanic
eruption In Martinique for aid.
The lake region of Nicaragua has never
been disturbed by volcanic eruptions, and
the route of the proposed canal, includ-
ing Lake Nicaragua, Is as it was when
first explored, 400 years ago.
Besides, Mont Pelee and the Nicaragua
route are farther apart than Vesuvbus
and the Manchester ship canal
The gentlemen of the anti-canal lobby
should study the map. Then they might
avoid making themselves ridiculous.

PRAcTIcINe BY TELEPHONE.

From the Philadelphia Medical journal.
We heard a doctor complain recently
that one of his patients. In order pre-
sumably to save his time, sometimes
called him up on the telephone when
she wanted him to give advice about the
baby. The good dame would sit at the
other end of the wire, pencil in hand, and
ask the unfortunate doctor to dictate
his instructions while she took them
down. This continued until one day she
asked him to dictate his prescription. At
this he rebelled. He was willing to take
the baby's temperature and; pulse by tel
ephone, and even to inspect the charac-
ter of the objections; he was even will
ing to tell all he knew about babies in
general and about that baby in particu-
lar; he did not even object for a while
to give the lady the full benefit of a
professional call and charge 1t as an office
visit; but his conscience smote him when
1t came to debating a Latin prescrip-
ton by telephone and having a thrifty
minded housewife sign his name to 1t be-
fore her own initials.
Some physicians should write a chapter
on the medical ethics of the telephone.
We would do It ourselves If we felt cap
able. There are two sides to the ques-
ton. The patient sometimes gets the
better of the doctor, and saves fee-but
the doctor sometimes gets the better of
the patient and saves himself a lot of
trouble. 1t is obvious that in either case
the patient should pay for It, But the
question arises what should he pay? Is II
an office visit. or a house visit? The adj
vice is given in. the office, but 1t is re-
ceived in the house. This is somewhat
of a metaphysical quandary. Should a
patient be Obliged to pay house fee for
advice which a doctor gives sitting COM
fortably In his office? The problem is
full of difficulties. Perhaps it would be
best to call 1t half and half, and charge
accordingly.

Staple Prices 6oinq Up.

Dun's index number shows that the
prices of staples were advanced in
the month OF April 81 per cent, and
the gains were chiefly In foodstuffs.
Wheat rose Az cents a bushel, corn
2& cents and oats cent, while beans,
peas an rye were also higher. Live
hogs rose 35 cents hundred pounds,
mess pork 81 a barrel and other pork
products about at the same proper
ton. The gain in live beef was TN
cents a hundred pounds and in sheep
10 cents.
'''' Not since October 1, 1900, says
Bradstreet's, have prices of staples
been so high. There were advances in
April in cereals, live animals, pro-
visions and groceries, fresh and dried
fruits, hides and leather, textiles,
metals, oils, building materials and
miscellaneous products. In all, thirty
nine staples were advanced in price
during the month just ended. AS com.
pared with a year ago nearly all sta
pies are higher, the two most notable
exceptions being sugar and coffee
Fully four-fifths Of. the products that
enter into daily consumption are
higher than they were one year ago,
and excepting the year ended Octo-
Der /, 1900, they are higher than they
have been since 1892.
