SIDEWALKS.

The suggestion has been made that
the city of Mineral Point undertake
directly the work OF constructing side
walks this year. Last year the ad-
ministration secured by contract the
construction OF long lines OF first class
walks at fairly reasonable price,
and 1t would seem wise TO continue a
policy that has already worked adj
vantageously. II reasonable prices
can be secured, a contract ought to be
let TO reliable party or parties. II
would be wise to continue the contract
plan in regard TO sidewalk construct
ion. II II were extended In limited
way to street making 1t might result
in better methods and better streets.

AN EVIL TENDENCY.

George ID. Cline writes vigorous and
wholesome editorial articles for his
democratic newspaper The Hudson
True Republican. Below is published
one OF his articles which Is especially
deserving OF careful reading. The oc-
casion for the preaching OF this edi-
torial sermon was local TO the city OF
Hudson; but there is universal need OF
the lesson which II teaches. The arti-
Gle was published under the heading,
"a Tendency OF the Times" but the
harmful disposition Of human nature
which Is pointed out Is by far too
prevalent at all times. We quote
from the True Republican as follows:
Recent events In this city have
caused some discussed on the medical
profession. The peculiar sentiment
shown and same tendency TO revolt In

For Mt least two centuries scientllic
investigation has tended TO the relief

chemistry and the use OF mineral and
vegetable drugs rs applied to diseases
have grown up. The microscope has
rendered the study OF tissue possible;
It's increased power has made men
familiar with the bacili Of countless
germ diseases. A hundred other iuven-
lions have contributed to the lighting
OF disease. Some OF the ablest scien-
lists have devoted their lives to find
ing remedies for disease. When one
was supposed to be discovered 1t was

way became tho science OF medicine

They are thoroughly tested; some are
retained and some abandoned. The

ciples OF II that constitute course In

have to pass examination before being

but every possible safeguard Is placed
around their practice for the protection
of the public Now in the face of all
this when person begins practice
with no education, no knowledge Of
medicine, Ignorant Of the organs Of
the body, with no legal restraint
around him, and without license to
practice hundreds will risk their lives
with him. The bigger fraud he Is the
more mysterious he seems and the
more he attracts certain classes OF
people. One of this kind testified that

we imagine, equals that Of all the law.
