PREVENTIVE MEDICINE.
Optimistic Outlook for the Future
Banishment of Disease.

Sir Frederick Treves, IN Leslies' Magazine.
I am certain it is safe TO prophesy that
the time viii come when hospitals for in
fectious diseases will be empty and not
wanted. I also look forward to the time
when it viii be as anomalous for per
sons to die Of scarlet fever. typhoid,
cholera, and diphtheria as it viii for
man to die Of a VOLTS bite in England.
Very little, however, cen be done by the
legislature, but everything by the progress
Of medical science, and in d much larger
degree by the intelligence Of the people
We must recognize that the saying that
every one must eat a peck OF dirt before
he dies Is erroneous, and see that dirt is
undesirable Preventive medicine Is
founded upon hard facts. prudence, and
common sense The mystery Of the an
cient doctor. his use Of long names, and
his extraordinary prescriptions are pass
ing away. Multltudes OF shelves full OF
bottles which surround doctors are also
passing away, and being replaced by sim
pie living. suitable diet, plenty Of sun.
and plenty Of fresh air The fight Of the
present day is against millions Of mi
crobes. and the weapons are sanitary reg
ulations, municipal government, the sani-
tary inspector, and the medical officer OF
health.

Lord Cromer's Grant

It is not a pleasant spectacle in the
English House Of Commons that Of the
socialists and the Irish. under the leader
ship Of Mr.. Redmond. opposing the grant
Of S250,000 to Lord Cromer on his retire.
ment from his successful lifework In
Egypt The request for the grant was
made personally by King Edward, and
1t passed the House Of Lords unani-
mously. When the bill came before the
House Of Commons there was bitter op-
position on the part Of the Irish National
lists and socialistio members, who. to the
number Of 1O7, voted against the grant.
The presentation Of a large sum OF
money TO public servant who has done
exceptional work is not unusual in Eng
land. It is an historic method in that
country of recognizing good work. Most
OF the great men in England's history
have been so rewarded, from MarI-
borough, for his work at Blenheim, to
Lord Roberts, for his work in South
Africa. Kitchener Of Khartoum was
one Of the latest examples Of this sort Of
bounty. which he received for his excel
lent work In the Soudan.
The DEMOCRACY OF England are always
moro willing to recognize q great feat
OF arms than they ars the works of
peace. but Of all the prominent British
ers OF the past century none has done
more brilliant work than Lord Cremer.

Wrote Novels for Money

David Christie Murray, the novelist
who has just died in England at the age
of sixty. was one Of the most prolific
writer's Of his age. He began life as a
/ reporter on the Birmingham Morning
News, worked for some London news
| papers, and acted as special correspondent
for the Times during the Russo Turkish
war. Then he took up novel writing and
kept at it steadily almost to the time Of
mis- death.
His first novel, published in 1880, was
called "a Life's Atonement." his last,
''Despair's Last Journey" published in
1901. Between those two he turned out a
novel a year, sometimes more, and in
Vulnerable short stories and articles. In
a lawsuit a few years ago he testified
that at his best period of novel writing
he earned $12,5Oo a year, and he admitted
that after earning this for fifteen or
twenty years his income had dropped to
about 5000 a year. Still he always made
a living, and a pretty good one. Fame, Of
course, never came near him.
David Christie Murray had no ideals
about novel writing. He turned to the
work as he would have turned to any
other, merely to make money. Of over
fifty of his novels. It is doubtful whether
the average lover Of fiction could name
one Of them off-hand. His work did not
rise above the level of a careful medi-
ocrity. His stories we're fairly entertain
ing, not too sensational, clean enough.
and-altogether ordinary. He was a pro-
fessicnal novelist; he wrote for a living;
that was the beginning and the end
of it.

The King for the People.

It IS a curious demonstration Of the
growth Of democratic feeling when the
world sees a monarch standing up for his
peasantry against the legislators elected
of the people. This is what is happen
ing in Hungary. There has been much
to-do in Hungary about the heavy emil
grafton to the United States. Plans have
been devised TO stop it. The Hungarian
Parliament, composed largely OF land
owners and themselves the heaviest suf-
fereTs by this emigration, passed laws
virtually putting ali farm laborers in
serfdom. They prohibit the laborers or
tenants fro mleaving their employment
without permission, and one law just
passed confers on the landowners the
right to fog their Iaborers, male or fe-
male. under the age OF twenty-one But
the good Emperor Francis Joseph declines
to approve them.
The Emperor has secured for the peas
ants of Austria the right of suffrage to-
gether with representation in Parliament.
and he insists that equal rights shall be
extended to the peasantry of Hungary
and Croatia. Thus we have the curious
anomaly Of an Emperor standing up for
his poorer subjects against the encrOach-
ments OF the rich No wonder the
Emperor Francis Joseph is one OF the
best-lOYed monarchs Of his time

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.
Democratic Outlook as II Appears to

From the New YoEk Tribune.
II does not look as il Mr. Bryan would
meet with any serious opposition to his
desire to be for the third time the can

States and sections and standing for
nothing whatever in a national sense.
Southerners may be dismissed from con-
sideration, for the Democratic party
needs strength in the North, and. while

New York TO merit consideration. a me-
dioCTe SOutherner would have none what
sOever here or anywhere in the North
Only an extraordinary Southerner would
serve as a candidate. and theEe are none
such available. IN the North and West
the Democratic party has had about as
much chance in the last decade 70 develop
public men Of national prominence as Il
regularly has IN New Hampshire or Yer
mont. or as the Republican party has in
the South. Leaving out Bryan and
Hearst. there IS no Northern Democrat
who IS any more nationally significant
than is any Southern Republican who
could be thought of for a Presidential
nomination. Since 1886 only one Northern
Democrat has become national figure,
and he is Hearst, the logical develop
ment OF the Bryan movement. His prom
inence IS purely Fictitious. and he awak-
ems much more hostility than Bryan.
