As to Medical Legislation.

MODlle hegfSter.
 The Mobile Medical and Surgical Jour- the bill introduedc into the lower House of the Alabama Legislature by MT. Starr or Dallas to amend the public health laws or the State. We have great confidence In the opinion of the editor of The Jour nal expressed upon subject of this sort. put in this special case the reasons given for commenting the bill are convincing Of their soundness, irrespective of the reputation of the editor who expresses them.
 Given a certain machinery for the pres. ervation or public health in Alabama, we regard 1t, as some do, as a professional trust or combination that threatens trouble Tor the people who are placed un- der Its control; the fact remains, however that this machinery should be in har- mony with itself to perform it's work properly. There are inocngruities In the health laws that should be wiped cut. This bill proposes to harmonize health legislation. First. 1t provides salaries for county. health officers. The success of proper working of the County health of fcials; and these men ought to be paid and certain results may then be required of them. Second, the bill provides for the prompt report of contagious and in- fectious diseases. The value of a law of third place, it provides for the inspection of places where articles of food are of fered for sale.
 In these days. when packing house pro- ducts are complained of as 'embalmed. '' N causing sickness because kept too long disposed of to the public, as was com plained of recently in Memphis and other c1tles, 1t Is become necessity to have State inspection by competent men.

IT IS A GOOD PLAN.

We like the brand of curiosity displaye by that Connecticut millionaire who gave his relatives half a million dollars just to see what they will do with it." There's sense in that mans head. Many a rich man has felt just that kind of curiosity He is acquainted with the habits, desires and dispositions of his relatives, and no doubt spends some of his spare time wondering what they would do with d pile if they had it.
 But generally this kind of man has no means of satisfying his curiosity. He holds on to his money till he is dead and then, according to our way of think ing. he is not in a position to see how his heirs spend 1t. They may go to law over his will and let the lawyers get most of the property, or each one may go his way and dispose of his portion as he will. Some will make ducks and drakes of it and have a good time, as they view it, while 1t is going. Others will hug 1t and cultivate it and increase it till they die and leave others to spend or enjoy it. The Connecticut man is sensible and 1t may be that he is long headed, and has a deep design in his course. He will watch the career of the beneficiaries of his liberality and the manner in which they use his money may determine whether they will get anything more from him. But we like his plan.

UNSAFE ADVICE.

The suggestion of Mir. Justice Brewer. of the United States Supreme Court, that the right of appeal in criminal cases should be taken from all lower courts is not one which will meet general ap- proval, in our judgment. notwithstanding the high judicial standing and position of its author. We can easily admit that this right is often abused. Appeals on | merely technical grounds are too frequent have noticed. In many cases an appeal | in criminal case is taken on really | trifing grounds and by this means justice is delayed, or often entirely thwarted. On the other hand 1t is well to remember | that juries are not infallible, and that | sometimes the accused Is convicted on | evidence that is altogether insufficient, or even false. In such cases as this an appeal may be the means of saving an | innocent person from punishment.
 And if there are to be no appeals in criminal cases why should there be in civil cases? Are we to understand that
 human life and human liberty are of less importance than money or property? If case involving the title to land, the validity of a will, or the value and dis position of property is of too much im- portance to be finally settled by petit jury is the life or liberty of a citizen to be disposed of by such jury without any appeal to a higher and more competent court?
 In our judgment appeals should be en- tirely abolished or impartially preserved
 No doubt Judge Brewer in his high capa- city has had to pass upon appeals which were without merit, but we doubt if there is Supreme Court in the United States which has not at some time saved an accused person from unmerited punishment. Trial by jury Is one of our most sacred institutions. but jurymen are human and they are not always men who are qualified to decide correctly on the often conflicting evidence in criminal cases. If there were no better qualified tribunal to review their work 1t might often happen that an innocent man would
 be sent to prison or the gallows, or on the
 other hand no convictions ever be had.
 Justice BSewer's advice is not sound or
 safe.

HOW TO TEST MILK.
A Lead Pencil Properly Prepared af
 lords a Clew.

Chicago Tribune.
 The suspicious of the housewife regard lng t4le purity of the milk left at ner doorway every day may be confirmed or set at rest in a moment with no other appliance than a lead pencil with roun rubber tip. This simpIe but effective test is based on the relative density of milk and water on account of which a float ing body will sink deeper in the latter than the former.
 First cut off almost half the pencil and float the rubber tipped end in water. The pencil should float in an upright position. If 1t tips cut it shorter, little by little, until only small end projects above the water. Now mark the exact water line by slight crosswise cut or notch. Next take q strip of papers as long as the distance from this cut to the rubber end and fold it in half: then fold one end to the center crease, then the sam end the center crease. then the same end to the new crease repea ting until you have fold ed five times. At the distance between eighth inch) from the first cut on the pencil make another cut nearer the rub Der end.
 Now you are ready to float the pencil pencil will sink as deep as the second notch; if the milk has been watered it will float between the two notches and If 1t has been skinned 1t will float with both notches out of the water.
 Unskimmed milk is about 3 per cent. heavier than water. Hence. the more water added to the milk the deeper the pencil will sink. until it approaches the notch for water Cream is lighter than water; hence If the cream has been skinned of the pencil will not sink So deep as in whole milk, since what re- mains after skimming is heavier than whole milk.
 Although the distance between the notches is small. the level in milk should be exactly at the second notch, as milk is constant in weight, and the failure of the pencil to sink to the notch should arouse suspicion.

 only muddled things and interfered with
 the investigations.
 The secretary's wrath is all put on for
 the purpose of hiding his own derelictions.
 Some of these charges of frauds on the
 Indians were made while Congress was in session last winter. and there has been ample time for full and thorough in- vestigation. The matter was allowed to drag It's slow length along while the boodlers and thieves were getting in their work and enriching themselves by rob- bing the wards of the government who have no power to protect themselves. Now that Special Agent Brosius has given to the public some of the rascalities of the governments employees, and when 1t Is no longer possible to cover up the villainies that have been going on, the | Secretary assumes an indignant role and declares that the disclosures will hinder | investigation. Our opinion is that he is l trying to shield the tools of his depart | ment.

Opposed to Social and Political
 Equity.

Editor The Advertiser:
 One can scarcely pick up. daily or does not see something on the never end ing topic of the negro problem"-so- called.
 A good many people from the Southern ticles on the subject. I do not recall that have recently seen copied in our South ern papers the words of MT. Lincoln in his Charleston. Ill. speech of September Is, 1858, that bear so strongly on this question. MT. Lincoln usually expressed himself with directness; you are not apt to fail to comprehend him. therefore 1 think that much time and space might produce MT. Lincoln's words in reply to much that is written in a labored way by. those who insist npon social and po- litical equality for the negro, and who can see no harm in miscegenation. The words refer to are as follows:
 T am not. nor ever have been in favor and political equality of the white and negro. races. l am not, nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes; nor of qualifying them to hold office; nor to intermarry with white people.
 "f will say in addition to this, that there Is physical difference between the white and black races which I be- living together on terms of social and political equality; and inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of the inferior and superior, and I am. as much as any other man, in favor of hav- ing the superior position assigned to the white race"
 There is little that is argumentative about this part of the speech. MT. Lin coin contented himself mainly with stat ing the proposition. then why is 1t nec- essary for us to do more? Selma, Ala.

SHOULD BEGIN AT THE TOP.

The Chattanooga Times utters what we may call truthful paradox when it says that "the deeper the Secretary of the Interior probes into the Indian Territory scandals the nearer the top of the official heap he seems to get" We suspect that if he had begun very near the top he would have found the job very much simplified. It is sometimes much easier to go down than up, and if the Secretary expects to accomplish anything he will not confine his investigations to the tools and allow the big fish to escape.
 And in this connection we find in the Muskegee, I. T., Phoenix the statement that Secretary Hitchcock is very wroth with the newspapers and newspaper writes of Indian Territory for the dis closures and comments they have made concerning the boodling and other frauds that have been going on In the Territory,
