NEURISTHENIA.

The recent affair at Reno settled many
things. 1t settled the question about
coming back" in favor of cats Only
cats come back. 1t settled the champion

Der of the staff of our neighbor The
Times" MI John L. Sullivan, it settled
the fate of prizefighting. at will be the

that promises to rank with Booze done

ringside. And the color scheme of the
the exhibiting of moving pictures of
scraps" at least in large part Of the
country But the most important thing
that it settled was neurasthenia.
Our national disease" was hit harder
than Jeff was. JEFF was about again
in few hours, his countenance looking
like scrambled egg, still able to think
about investing the money that had just
become his, but no application Of am
monia and no sedulous attention of Sec
onds has been sufficient to restore neu-
rasthenia from its ''groggy' condition.
The damage to neurasthenia, one Of the
most delicate of diseases, is all due to
the fact that it has become known that
Jeff had neurasthenia when he en-
tered the ring. Who will have neuras-
thenia after that? Why, it is almost as
bad as if Johnson himself had had it.
Let us imagine some pale woman,
propped on a couch, with trained
nurse at each elbow and a physician in
call, explaining to a sympathetic ac-
quaintance that she is suffering from
neura sthenia. The friend, duly touched
by the polysyllabic nature Of the COM
plant, is Illuminated in a moment and
exclaims, "Oh, yes. that was what JEFF
fries had at Reno." The cure is imme-
date and complete. 1t is plainly dis
ease to be avoided In the future.

Now, perhaps the most Significant CIR
cumstance suggested by the visit OF MS
highness is the value of British heee'
mony or suzerainty over the indian
states. 1t was the imperial government
which compelled the retirement OF tue
despot who formerly disgraced Tue
Maharajahship and which replaced MN
with a statesman who would be cfeoil
to any state And the present Gaekwar
is one of the most loyal OF all the feuda-
tory princes to the Emperor. The va
rious seditious movements and the WIG
clamor for immediate expulsion or the
British find no encouragement IN ba'
roda. It is realized there that continued
British control Is essential to the order
and progress of the empire. That Is
significant fact which students OF Ind
ian affairs and especially sympathizers
with Indian conspiracies will do well
to take into account.

ranks as one of the foremost three ma
tive rulers OF that empire, the others
being the Nizam of Hyderabad and the
Maharajah of Mysore. These three are
entitled TO salutes Of twenty-one guns
each. while other Indian seyereigns have
only from nineteen down to eleven each.
The state over which the Gaekwar
reigns with almost absolute autocracy
comprises more than eight thousand
square miles and nearly two million
people, nearly all of whom are Hindus

hOmetans, Parsees and jams
The benevolent and enlightened char
acter of the Gaekwar and the progress

main have long been proverbial. Under
his predecessor precisely the reverse was
true, Baroda being then one of the worst
governed and most backward states of
India. Indeed the former Gaeliwar was
forcibly deposed by the British govern
ment because of his misdeeds and the
present humane statesman was put into
his place. Now the state enjoys a gov

WHAT STATUS QUO IN NAN
CHCRI1?

Russia and Japan have at last signed
their new Manchurian treaty, and its de-
tails will presently be disclosed to the
world. III advance of such complete pub
LEGATION two Of the general characteristics
of the instrument are made known. One
Of these is that the treaty makes closer
the relations between the two signatory
powers. That seems to be and should
be entirely unObjectiOnable. Indeed, we
should regard it. generally speaking, as
cOmmendable 1t is desirable to have
closer, more friendly and more confident
relations established between those and
between any two powers in the world,
so long as they are not hostile in their
intent To us or to any other nation.
The other fact which is made TO ap-
pear is that the treaty is intended to
maintain the status quo in Manchuria. It
will be of general interest to see pre-
cisely what that means. 1t might mean
a perpetuatiOn Of the present exclusive
control of those Chinese provinces by the
two alien powers. IT might mean con-
tinued monopoly of travel and trans
portation in all directions by the existing
Russian and japanese railroads and the
prohibition Of the construction of any
new lines.
Our impression is that such a compact
would be regarded with some surprise
and much regret and disfavor by this
country and by more than one other
power as in fact and effect violation
of the policy Of an open door and equal
rights TO which Russia and Japan long
ago committed themselves. Nobody
will demur to the cultivation of closer
friendly relations between the two late
antagonists. Nobody will dispute their
right to safeguard their property III

ALL OR NONE"

The apparently authentic explanation
of the latest and most absurd of the
Shonts proposals is that the INTERIOR
ough directors-over the PROSTATE form
of Mr.. Shonts, so to speak-have def
nitely adopted an "all or none' policy !;
that is TO say. if there is to be competi-
ton they will build no more lines. But
the public may be pardoned If it has
doubts whether there is really anything
alternative about the Interborough's at
titude 1t remembers very well that
rather than build subways the company
entered into competition with the
bankrupt Metropolitan Street Railway
lines. and that in order to insure that
there should be no new subways the
combination paid Mr. John B. McDon-
aid. the subway builder, $4,000 year
to do nothing
When did it abandon its position in
favor of preventing subway building?
Last year, when it made a prepoSterous
offer of some tWo-track additions to its
present system? Or when it suggested
spreading a road over both Lexington
and Third avenues, the best two remain
ing East Side routes for an independent
north and south system? Or when it
asked for terms upon an extension to a
very profitable road practically as IA
vorable as those obtained from the city
for one that was a hazardous expert
ment? Or now, when It makes the most
impossible proposal of all? Was it Sc
riously expected that any of these offers
would be accepted? The policy of the
Interborough may be ''all or none" but
it looks very much as if it were just
plain none

MEDICINE AND METAPHYSICS,

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: 1t is reported that the homeopathic
physicians are now indorsing the patriotic
plan of the s1lopathic for the creation OF a
national department of health; also that
the principal opposition ernanates from the
patent medicine men. Why should not all
three systems join hands in the passage
of the necessary laws and In the admin
istration Of the resultant department? The
animosities OF the past between allopathy
and homeopathy have long since melted
into fraternal relations. Practitioners Of
both systems frankly allow that patent
medicines are useful in many cases and
that they sometimes even help patients
Gespaired of by the regular doctors
AS result of modern scientific research
1t is ascertained that indictments, by
Whomsoever prescribed. prepared or admin
tstered, possess In themselves no curative
quality: they are simply vehicles of sug-
gcstion the curative agent being the be-
iief that the medicament possesses healing
virtue AS this confidence wanes the rem
edy loses its influence, then its public
vogue and ultimately 1t is abandoned and
another reigns in its stead Phenacettne
was once in everybodys mouth - other
tines" now usurp it's place OF honor To
sum up. all medication, whether Internal or
external depends for results on metaphys-
icai processes
If the foregoing be true, is II not clear
that the medical men behind the legislative
guns. inasmuch as they have at heart only
the greatest welfare Of the ninety million
Inhabitants OF the United States, owe it to
our country to invite the cooperation of
the patent medicine men irfS creating and
managing the proposed national depart
ment Of health? That this can be done
tremendously and without loss of dignity
Is manifest thanks to the discoveries OF
metaPhEslcal research. J. r W.

TO CHECK OPIUM SALES
Bishop Brent Tries to Induce
England to Act.

London. July s-Bishop Charles III
Brent, of the Episcopal Church in the Phil
ippines. who has been a delegate to the
World Missionary Conference at Edin-
bursh. is endeavoring to obtain the consent
OF the British government to the opium
conference at The Hague proposed by the
State Department to give effect TO the de-
cisions reached by the Shanghai confer
ence. Accompanied by Ambassador Reid
the Bishop met to-day Premier Asquith
Sir Edward Grey. Minister for Foreign At
fairs. and Lord Morley. Secretary for In
dia- While not unwilling TO go into another
conference, the Indian government for eco
nomc reasons is not prepared to go as far
as the reformers desire in the matter of de-
creasing the production of opium. Bishop
Brent is hopeful that an amicabIe arrange
ment may be reached.
A considerable part OF the revenue of the
Indian government is derived from the ex-
port of opium to China and the Straits Set
Elements. In 1907-'0S. the last fiscal wear
recorded, 1890 chests of Bengal opium
were sold for export. on which the net reve-
nue. for the government was about ST.
$4,000. Severe regulations for the control
OF the growth and sale of opium were is
sued by the Chinese government in 1906
Two years later the British Minister at
Picking made an agreement with the Chi
nese Foreign ONCE by which 81, 0cos chests
Of opium should be the standard amount
imported from India, the amount to be de-
creased yearly by 5,1oO chests and the i'm
portation stopped after ten years. The
amount Of foreign opium brought into
China in the preceding year was about
100000 pounds. valued at more than s2s.-
OO0.00o The amount of opium grown in
China was nearly as large.
In February, 1909. delegates of China. sew
eral European and Asiatic powers and the
United States met at Shanghai on the mi
tiative of the American government
Bishop Brent was elected president. and
nine resolutions. binding the various GOV
ernments gradually to suppress opium
smoking In their territories, were adopted.
They were much milder than the resolution
proposed by the American government and
supported by the Chinese delegates. which
would have resulted in speedy suppression
OF the traffic.
Inc American programme was strongly
opposed by the British delegates. Since the
agreement between China and Britain OF
1908. British commercial bodies i'm the Far
East and the Hong Kong government
which receives considerable revenue from,
opium. have opposed the CARRYING out Of
the agreement on the ground that China
was not enforcing Its pledges TO discon-
tinue the growth OF the poppy The testi-
mony OF travellers officials and mission
aries on this point is contradictory. but
appears TO show that the officials of certain,
provinces are stamping out opium, while
others are lukewarm in the matter.

we have no merchant marine to back up

THE ETHICS OF "SOUE4LING."

The interesting expression of opinion
is imputed TO an important public officer
of this city, and seems not to he denied
but rather acknowledged by him, that
"a 'squealer' is worse than the man that
takes the money" That, being inter
preted. means that the man who admits
bribery is worse than the man who COM
mits bribery: mother words, that con-
fession is worse than crime; from which
we must earnestly dissent.
''SQuealing," ''peaching on a pal or
whatever it may be called in the chaste
idiom Of those who practise moral crook
edneSs, is no doubt much detested; par
ticularly by its victims. The professional
informer is sometimes a useful, perhaps
even an Indispensable. but never an adj
mirable being. Between him and the
man who repentS and cOnfeSSes Il fault
for the purpose of atoning for it or
checking its further commission there is,
however, vast difference in favor of
the latter The law of the land recog-
nizes that fact, and popular sentiment
generally approves it.
1t is monstrous doctrine that confes-
sion of crime is worse than the crime
itself, and that having done wrong d
man should do further wrong to conceal
the first deed. We hav. heard it enun-
ciated before in various forms by cynical
apOlogists for raScality. but probably
never from source which made it ap-
pear so crudely offensive as the present.
That a man intimately associated with
the work of directing the instruction of
youth should cherish and publicly pro-
claim such a sentiment is astounding,
and amply justifies the Mayors inquiry
concerning his fitness TO remain in his
place.
