THE Wisconsin Medical Journal in
it's February issue gives expression
to the indignation of the members Of
the State Medical Society and physi-
clans generally over the forced retire
ment of DR.. T. o. B. Wingate from
his position as Secretary of the State
Board of Health. DIR. Wingate was a
highly competent official but was
ousted from his position for political
reasons. This interference of politics
in matters pertaining to the public
health is becoming altogether too
common and it is high time for the
force of public opinion to be exerted
against this practice.

carry produce on wagon road and it
cost that amount forty years ago.
The great improvements in railway
and water transportation which have
been made in that period were made
largely by government aid. During
the whole forty years the farmer has
had no assistance of any kind in i'm
proving his roads and decreasing the
first cost of marketing his produce,
but Congress has at last got around
to consider his needs and the Brown
low bill which provides government
aid in the improvement of public
highways is now before that body. If
the farmer is alive to his best inter
ests the bill will pass and in few
years the primary cost of transports
ton will be greatly reduced.

An Instance Of the Laws Delay

An Instance OF the Laws Delay.
An extreme illustration Of the ira
dit1onal laws delay and hazards ap-
pears In case which has just been con-
cluded in New York after twenty-one
years fighting in the courts. In 1882
railroad brakeman named Williams
sued the Delaware, LackaWanna and
Western railroad for personal injuries
sustained while in the employ Of that
corporation. On the first trial he got a
verdict for $4,000. He has since then
had five more trials, at least four differ
ent appeals, in one Of which the court
of appeals reversed itself, and has
finally obtained an affirmation in all
the appellate tribunals Of the last YER
dict for $4,000.
There seems little doubt that such a
case exhibits positive defects in the
prevailing system Of Jurisprudence.
That q man who by his occupation can
be presumed to be poor was obliged to
fight for twenty-one years to win a
claim which was supported by every
jury to which it was submitted is In
itself positive injustice. Though the
man has finally established his claim,
it seems practically certain that the
amount Of the verdict is consumed by
lawyers fees and court costs and that
he really gets no compensation. The
fact that the court of last resort decid-
ed on one appeal exactly the opposite
to what 1t had held In previous ruling
is calculated to impress the public with
the uncertainty Of judicial logic and to
evoke the sarcasm mat justice may be
blind in more than one meaning. The
case is but one Of many which demon
strate the necessity Of reform in the
methods Of American jurisprudence.

CA.sSINI TALKS TO HAY
Ill-Feeling Between the Bear and Uncle
Sam Is the Topic.

Sam Is the Topic.
Washington, March 2.-An important
has occurred between Secretary Hay
and Count Cassini, the Russian am
bassador The growing ill-feeling in
Russia against United Statesans and
the continued attacks of certain parts
of the United States press against Rus
STA was the main subject discussed
Count Cassini also informally inquired
about the report that the Commercial
Gable company had applied for landing
privileges at Guam for a cable from
that island to Japan. He was as
sured by Hay that this government at
present was considering no such appli-
cation.
The ambassador did not give any in
timatiOn as to what the attitude OF
his government would be in this mat
ter. The Associated Press dispatches
from st. Petersburg. however, have
stated. that the Russian government
would view askance the granting Of
such privileges by disagreement dur
ms the present war. 1t is assumed
that this government has declined for
the present formally to consider such
an application.
To a correspondent Of the Associated
Press Count Cassini said that the Rus
sian people long since had learned to
regard the people of this country as
their fast friends, and that it had been
4 bitter disappointment to them to find
United States misrepresentation the
Russian government, the Russian peo-
pie and Russian policies. He said the
first feeling Of his people had been one
of painful surprise. but that this is
now crystallizing into deplora bic
| feeling Of unfriendliness.
