THE PRACTICE OF MEDICINE.

The Pennsylvania Legislature has
before it bill to put an end in that
state to the squabbles between diff
ferent schools of medicine. In this
state we have seen how hard each
school can fight for it's own system
the allopaths, the homeopaths and
the osteopaths One of the most
recent contests in Georgia was by the
odd line" doctors to keep the osteo-
paths out of practice. Fighting Of a
similar nature has occurred in proba-
ably every state. 1t is the purpose of
the Pennsylvania bill to put an end
to the fights by placing each school of
healing upon precisely the same foot
ing with every other before the law.
The bill provides that all persons who
shall profess to diagnose or treat dis
ease or injury. by any method what
soever," shall be licensed. AS a condi-
ton precedent to receiving such license
the applicant shall be examined and
passed by a board of medical examin-
ers, or present satisfactory evidence
Of having passed an examination by a
competent board in another state, the
laws of which are equally rigid The
examination is to be in physiology,
| pathology, anatomy and diagnosis.
This is regarded by it's proposers as
an eminently fair law, under which no
person competent to decide wisely and
act intelligently in the treatment of a
patient would be shut out from the
practice of the art of healing.
1t is suggested. Furthermore, that
the new law in operation would have
the effect of shutting out from prac-
tice all faith healers and quacks. since
it would be impossible for them to pass
the examinations made obligatory by
the Law. Thus the courts would be re-
lieved of much embarrassment in deal
ing with cases growing out of the So
called absent and other faith"
treatments. Many courts have hesitate
ed or declined to entertain such cases.
on the ground that the treatment un-
der which the patient died was really
a form of religion, and that it was not
within the province of the courts to
prosecute or punish people for the
practice of their religious beliefs.
Discussing medicine and doctors, by
the way, a sensational and probably
revolutionary paper was read before a
Philadelphia medical society the other
day by DR.. sajous. a leading practi-
toner of that city In the human sys-

The New York Times (Dem.) says:
If we are asked whether we advise
that the Republican party under the
leadership of its boldest President in
years shall abandon the blacks to
their fate and repudiate the principles
they have so long maintained, our an
swer must be that the party have not
any principles in this matter to re-
pudlate and cannot abandon a race

Now that Virginia has voted to place
the statue Of Robert z. Lee in the Hall
of Statuary, Washington. Representa-
tive Lacey of Iowa (who, by the way.
is a Virginian by birth) says it would
not surprise him to see Kansas pro-
vide for a statue of John Brown, to be
placed alongside that of Gen. Lee.
But why 'alongside?" Kansas un-
questionably has the right to send the
statue of a convict who was hanged
to represent her in the hall if she
pieases, but she has not the right to
say that it shall be placed alongside"
any particular statue. However, even
the presence of John Browns statue
in next place to that of Lee would not
detract from the great fame of the
Southern man. 1t would merely direct
attention to the difference between the
abolitionist fanatic and the calm, con-
sentative. heightened American gentle
man and soldier.

From the Houston Post.
Hark you, my Puritan critics!
Forget you the Cavaliers pride?
And know you the black Ethiopian?
The leopard-the spots on his hide?
You sold us the African chattels;
You tempted our ease and our greed
And then you got zealously righteous
And warred on the law and our need
While we made the savages Christians
And paid for the sins of us both,
Now counting the good and the evil,
We blush not, and nothing are 10th.
We forged, too. bond of affection.
More firm than the title you gave
The veal of the served and the serv-
ing,
The love of the master and slave.
We sucked the breasts of their NAM
They fed from the lat of our store.
And, called to the far field of conflict
We left them on guard at our door.
We bowed to the God of the battle
We own He was wiser than we
And patiently took up the burden
OF teaching the bond to be free.
For wronging-if wrong was commit
ted
The rod had been laid to our back;
Yet stricken, we knew it was ours
To guardian our brothers in black.
And you. in your needless ambition
Forgetting the Cavaliers pride,
Forgetting the rule of the Saxon.
For which you yourselves would have
died
With bricks without straw you en-
deavored
To fashion new pillars of state
And seal up the house of our fathers
With sectional, partisan hate.
Instead you made wreckage of state
hood;
You loosed us the terrors of race
And only our God and our virgins
Know what we were called on to
face.
At last by the right of the Saxon.
BY strength that was bred in the
bone,
BY law that is higher than statute,
We came in the end to our own.
Again we gave cheerful compliance
We took up the burden with care.
We give them the blessings of learn
ing;
We pay-they receive, share for
share.
ana run opportunity opens
To black man and white man the
same
To follow the bent of his genius
To fortune and culture and fame.
BY parallel lines they are treading
The highways all peoples have trod.
But socially there is chasm
Dug deep In the wisdom of God.
To span 1t were death to both races:
But, drunk on your meddlesome
brew,
They reel TO the doom of the foolish.
Or madden on NORWOOD and rue.
We know them-they know US. Be-
tween us
Is knowledge you never can know.
We know, for the centuries taught us
They know for they learned It in
woe.
So, hands on The burden is ours;
And, faithfully pl0dding along,
Wen move through the night TO the

And answer 10 Cod for the wrong.

And chaos viii reign when he dies.

A seeker after odd facts has ascertain
ed that Delaware has had fewer United

as state than any other of the orig
inal thirteen states. In ia years only
thirty-one men have represented Della

During this time there have been in
the Senate from Delaware three Clay
tons. three Bayards, two Rodneys and
two Saulsburys. The Claytons repre-

Bishop Mann of the Episcopal do
cese of North Dakota, in the course of
an open letter made public a day or
two ago. charges that the city OF Bis
marck is morally rotten, and that the
members of the Legislature contribute
largely to that condition. He asserts
that there is "a certain establishment"
in the city which presents the features
of a hotel a saloon. a gambling house
and a disreputable resort; "at least it
does during the sessions of the Legis-
lature; and senators and representa-
tives board and lodge there" In
deed. he is of the opinion that the
legislators are the best customers of
the place. What conception of law
do these legislators possess?" thunders
the Bishop. What respect for the
laws they enact will the people pos
sess, while they contemplate such out
rageous violations of legality, morality
and decency?" In North Dakota, as
in some other states, it seems, legisla-
tors go to the capital for the purpose
of having a good time" rather than
10 devote themselves to the interests
of the state; and to such persons "a
good time" means INDUCING in vices.

English and German Courage.

Baron Speck Won Sternberg, the
newly elected charge d'affaires from
Berlin, was at a dinner where in a
purely humorous spirit the courage of
the various nations Of the world was
being impugned. The Germans cour-
age was pretty severely attacked by
al; Englishman. Baron Won Sternberg
took revenge on him with this brief
story: An Englishman and a German
were to fight a duel. They were lock-
ed in pitch dark room together with
cooked pistols. All was still and Meth
er could tell where the other was.
Finally the German, not wishing to
have murder on his soul, tiptoed to the
chimney and fired UP it. There was a
shrek and the Englishman, badly
wounded, came tumbling down.

Is the brain, after all, the only thing
that is absolutely necessary to exist
ence? That one may live without arms
or legs is a familiar demonstration.
Many cases, too, are known in which
persons get along very we'll with one
lung or one kidney. 1t has been proved
in several instances during the past few
years that the stomach is not essential
to life. And now comes the astound-
ing information from Paris that eyes
are not absolutely necessary to vision;
that one may see without eyes, If the
brain is in good order. DR.. Stems is
the discoverer of this new wonder. His
theory is that man does not see with
the eye, but with the brain, the eye
serving only to receive the image. which
the optic nerve transmits to the brain
or seat of perception. IT, then. the
image can be transmitted TO the brain
without eyes, a blind person can see
as we'll as anyone else. Putting this
theory into practice, il is asserted that
the doctor has perfected an apparatus
which, when applied 70 the head of a
person so heavily blindfolded that no
ray Of light can reach the eyes, trans
miis to the brain the image before IL as
perfectly as do the eyes. The appara-
Jus, u Is explained. has the same scien-
tine basis as the telephone. with the
substitution Of light for sound ar the

ment sounds like that Of scientific
"rea'n, 70 be sure. But other no less

The Two Boys.-George and Cyrus
Hardcastle, the two sons of an honest
and industrious harness maker in AL
lentown, Pa, began life with equal
prospects for success, says the Chicago
Tribune.
When they had completed their
course at the public schools their father
sent them to college.
George was studious and painstaking,
and after finishing his college course
decided to enter the ministry.
Cyrus cared little for study. He
devoted himself to athletics and be-
came the star pitcher of the college
baseball team.
George is now the pastor of large
congregation in Philadelphia, at a
salary of $4,000 year, and Cyrus makes
his living by working in livery stable,
with an occasional lift from, George.
Sometimes it turns out that way.
