A brief recess was taken to allow at

In accordance with stipulation on
which the counsel in the case agreed

of medicine and surgery in the
state which has now passed both
houses and which will be pre-
/ sented to the governor for his

/ closest attention.

different schools Of medicine that
they represent, are required to
hold meetings four times ayear,

January, April, July and October,
at places suitable to the major
ity Of the members of each board,

fore them, the names Of the ap-
plicants examined, and the results
as to whether they were licensed
or rejected. Each of the boards
will be required to examine ap-
plicants that desire to follow t he
school of medicine from which
they are selected, but all others

jury, and the board will see that
he is prosecuted to the fullest
extent of the law.
Applicants presenting themselves
for examination before each of

ing or have just received their

yesterday, however, he says he
was at a loss for a reply. Some
young man in writing for the
attorney generals opinion on a
legal question had perhaps in
dicted an epistle to his sweetheart
and unfortunately placed both

noting carefully the superscrip-

that some one was lauguishing

The matter of feed is Of
tremendous importance to the
farmer. Wrong feeding is
loss. Right feeding is profit.
The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his COWS to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children' ?
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and muscle food if they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia?
SCOTS Emulsion is a mixed
food; the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone

rrT TELEGRAPH TO THE rR1sUsE1

Albany April 5.-The Republican members Of
the legislature went to their homes Friday
without having reached a decision TO accept
any new indirect taxation bill. Apparently the
Republican Senators and Assemblymen were
far apart concerning the right course to pursue
in the matter Of taxation, the Senators clnging
TO the mortgage tax. and the Assemblyuen
being inclined to favor real esate conveyance
tax, which they Will consider at their caucus
Tomorrow night IF they adopt the plan, the
Republican Senators at their caucus on Tues
day night Will consider it. Such bill, it has
been estimated, would put s1,5o0oO0 in the
State Treasury.
Governor Odell may be compelled TO cut ap-
preparations if no other taxation measures go
through than those already passed Probably,
therefore, there will be strong effort TO put
through additional tax bills. Mr. Rogers said
Yesterday that at a conservative estimate the
States indirect revenues now amount to S16-
100000, the liquor tax increase would produce
S4.5o0oO0 more. and the direct heirs transfer
tax S5o0,Oo0 additional a total of S21, 800 Oo0
Between so 100000 and S23 100000 is annually
expended in maintaining the State government
There is a surplus of S3 OOO, 900, but about that
amount should be retained in the State Treasury
for emergencies. The Governor would. there
fore, have to cut appropriations consent to
the imposition of small direct State tax If
the surplus were not employed.
1t is reported that the Governor does not feel
inclined 10 consent TO direct tax except for
the Canal Debt Sinking Fund. Consequently,
the members Of the legislature are apprehensve
that If no other indirect tax bill is passed the
appropriations viii be greatly reduced by the
Governor when he takes them in hand.

IGNORANCE AND INUNDATioN.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: To who has spent all OF his HE IN the
Northern States n seems that, as the problem OF
dealing with the banks of the Mississippi River
should not be left TO local public spirit but should
be undertaken by our national government not IN
a spirit Of extrayagant and useless expenditure,
but with comprehensive scope and assured accom-
pIishrnent SO in dealing with the problem OF the
education of the great masses Of the black race IN
the Southern States the whole country should con-
tribute TO prevent deluge Of the ignorant and
reckless millions who have no real knowledge OF
their appalling shortcomings Of the opportunities
that await the virtuous and honest OF every cline
and color.
The menace Of the Mississippi is not so great as
the dreadful darkness OF the colored race In the
South Our sympathies should go out 70 our white
brethren who are graphing with this enormous
problem We should stand shoulder TO shouider
with them until both Of these great ana perpieSIng
dangers have been averted by a complete and non
orabIe solution Of the problems. 1t is not 'pater,
