and No Complications,
WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-There is no
radical change in the condition Of Sen
ator Hanna His extreme weakness is
more marked than heretofore, and his
temperature is little higher Those
attending him, however insist there is
nothing significant i'm these conditions
and that there are no developments on
which to change their expressed belief
that the outlook is hopeful for the sen
ator's recovery. There has been con
sultation Of DIR. Rixey and two out OF
town physicians but the only impor-
tant development that transpired as to
the consultation was that II had been
decided to omit the evening calls of
the attending physician so as to give
the patient rest.
Those who participated in the con
sultatiOn besides DR. Rixey. the sur
geon general OF the navy, who is the
regular attending physician, were DR.
Osler, the expert diagnostician of
Johns Hopkins university of Balti-
more, and DR. Brewer of New York.

Dangerous Doctors.

Some days ago the Banner had a
few words to say about the dangers at
tending the present system OF practic-
ing medicine The Atchison Globe of
Saturday has something in the same
line as follows:
"Some of the most eminent medical
men of the country-includiug good
many leading doctors in every commu-
nity-contend that medicine not only
does no good, but actual harm: that
what the people need is to be taught to
avoid medicine, eat less, eat slowly,
take exercise, and keep out in the
fresh air as much as possible.
IF this condition is trAe-and there
is little doubt about it isn't 1T too bad
that in every community there are in
auential men practicing medicine?
The habit of taking medicine has be-
come so firmly fixed that we have heard
intelligent physicians say they cannot
persuade their patients not to take il;
that lney often give sugar pellets, to
satisfy patients who insist on taking
something, but who would be harmed
by medicine. Isn't it pity that the
people are not taught the simple, i'm
portaut, truthful things, instead of
great theories that befog and iniure
them? The medical men in every com
munity are intelligent aud influential,
and the medicine habit is growing.
Many newspapers are supported by
medical advertising; the people of this
country pay more for medicine than
they pay for bread.
The facts are that we, the people,
have been taught wrong so long that
we have no sense; we neglect the sim
pie and important truth, and follow
Of expensive and injurious fads. Sur
gerry and physiology are important
sciences, but medicine is mischieyous,
and useless"

far beyond the needs and require ments of the county. There was an authorized issue of bonds to pay for a Court House, and the money realized should have coy- cred the entire cost of the building and grounds, but the entire sum was expended upon the structure alone, and several thousand dol- lars additional were expended upon the grounds, and it is alleged that l the entire cost of the building and grounds exceeded $4O,000. Con- trast with that the cost of the Court House in the County of Ma vajo, created only two years before that of Santa Cruz, which Navajo County Court House cost only l S12,O0O.
 We condemn the increased off, cial salaries in counties of the sixth class, in which Santa Cruz county is listed, made by the De- mocratic legislature four years ago, by which nearly $2,O00 per annum were added to the salaries of officials in Santa Cruz county, l viz: Four Hundred Dollars each { to the salaries of the three Super visors, Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars per annum to the salary of the Recorder, Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars annually to the Dis trict Attorney, making q total of { S1, $50 per annum added to official salaries, wrung from the pockets of taxpayers.
 Ne condemn the payment of 1 Twelve Hundred Dollars annually to the Sheriff for assessing the property in Santa Cruz County, when Six Hundred Dollars would be liberal compensation.
 Ne commend the action of the last Grand Jury in going into and Investigating extravaganza in the Court House. and regret that they could not have had sufficient time to make thorough investigation Ne demand an expert investiga- ton of county affairs by m expert accountant, with ample time to go ! into everything.
 a Ne condemn the Board of Sup l ervisors for negleeting to comply !; with the recommendation of the Grand Jury that county officials should be required to strengthen their bonds, and their further failure to follow a recommendation of the Grand Jury that the Board proceed to collect in accordance with law an acknowledged deficit in the County Treasury exceeding Ten Thousand Dollars.
 We condemn the extravaganza ! in public expenditure in the No gales Public Schools, which should have been checked and controlled by the Democratic county school superintendent, whereby several hundred dollars were expended in l useless electric clocks, unnecessary type writers, etc.
 We condemn the increase in the rate of taxation and the shortening of school terms under the present Democratic administration of Sants Cruz county.
 Ne stand for honesty, integrity and q business administration o public affairs in Santa Cruz coun. ty, and we pledge our candidates when elected to a rigid adherenc, to the principles laid down in thi' platform.
