BELATED RECOGNITION.

The military critics Of Europe, and
especially Won Moltke of Germany, in
his time, have always been inclined to
look upon the battles OF our Civil War
with derision. Won Moltke's idea, con-
cisely expressed, amounted TO about
this. that our Civil War struggle was
between two armed mobs, that came
into occasional fights, without strategy.
often without design, and usually
without decisive result There is no
doubt but that there is good deal TO
be said from the standpoint Of exact
military science on the Won Moltke
side of this argument, but on the other
hand some of the battles Of our Civil
War were as well planned, as steadily
fought, were as decisive OF results, and
involved as tremendous losses as ap.
pear in accounts of any of the battles
of modern times. 1t is true that the
battle Of Gettysburg was, in con.
siderable degree, an accidental battle
as to the particular place where it was
fought. General Lee wished TO fight
in the vicinity Of Cashtown: General
Meade wanted TO fight on the line of
Pipe Creek; but in the maneuverinc of
the different commands the battle was
actually begun in a way that might in
fact be called accidental. Still, the
armies were there TO fight and the
clash that occurred between the Union
forces and the Confederate forces near
Gettysburg on the first day determined
the place and date OF the battle. On
the other hand, the battle Of Chicka.
mauga, fought fifty years ago next
September 10Th and Goth, was a sheer
accident. wholly unnecessary fight.
and indecisive altogether, though
bloody and fearful in its loss of life
and its ravages.
But as to Gettysburg. German mill.
tsry oiiieialdom of today has greatly
modified its opinion, and now says il

FORCING OFFICIAL PAP.

1t has long been known that when
the officialdom of Germany undertakes
course of action, or makes require
ment, it sternly means business. that
there is ample reason to rely upon tho
certainty Of the activity or require
ment. and that everybody concerned
will be forced to comply.
Thus, in Bavaria there is a govern
ment regulation which compels the
Communal Councils to subscribe to the
semi-official Bayrische Staatszeitung,
this in order to assure that they will
have sort of official public journal
that all can refer to as faithful rec
ord Of their proceedings, and that thus
one can learn from the other. But it
appears that the Council Of Sternberg
refused unanimously to subscribe to
that journal, declaring that it did not
represent their views; and besides,
they held that compulsory subscription
to any newspaper was ultra wires, and
that it was not competent for the pub
lie administration to make such a re-
quirement upon the members of the
Council. The Councilmen were admon.
ished that their duty was to comply
with the requirement. They stubborn
ly refused. Thereupon the case was
brought into the law courts, where it
was decided that it was competent for
the government to require the mem
bers Of the Council to subscribe for that
paper, and to enforce the subscription.
A fair comment upon this is that it is
a clear case OF legalized press suhsi-
dation. That certainly is true.
1t is also true that this sort of thing
while not here made public or admin
istrative requirement. is known in va
rious parts of the United States, where
political pressure compels office-hold
ers to subscribe for the party organ,
and to insert in that organ such Off
cial advertising as they may have the
authority to order.
In Utah, for example, there has been
exactly such requirement as indi-
Gated, in behalf of the Smoot organ,
without any compensatinG benefit as
appears in the Bavarian case; and it
has been pushed with relentless rigor
that has been nauseating to many Of
fice-holders Of the party, who were
compelled to give up their dollars in
this form of subsidy for that organ.
SO far as the public advertising that
they had to order was concerned, they
have not, as a rule, made any particu.
lar squirm against the requirement Of
placing their order with the organ; but
when it comes to going down into
their own pockets to pay for subscrip-
tions to it, when they don t want it,
there has been all sorts Of grumblng;
but the bosses are relentless, and the
have to come in,
So that Bavaria has nothing upon
Utah in this matter Of enforcing news
paper subsidies. The only difference
is that with Germany it is openly and
sternly enforced by law, whereas in
Utah it is sneakingly and irritatingly |
through political partisan de.
cree and the tactics of the machine.

was great battle, one that was the
harbinger of many points in modern
strategy, and containing valuable les
sons in military science. General Won
Gossler calls Lee one of the most i'm
portant military figures Of tho nine
teentb century, and on the Federal
side, he especially praises the jndg-
ment and strategy Of General Hancock.
In this connection it is well to note
the fact that the official German
Military Gazette celebrated the fiftieth
anniversary Of the battle Of Gettys-
bnrg by issuing semi-centennial num-
Der with sixtypage supplement, Civ
ing views and accounts OF that battle,
with much praise for the fighting quail
ties of the troops engaged, and of the
management of the battle itself.
All Of which illustrates anew that
great actions come into their due recog-
milton in time. even though their i'm
portance and their significance may be
overlooked at the first; precisely as
was the case at the time of Lincoln S
great address at the dedication of the
Gettysburg battlefield AT first that
address was little thought Of, and it
was only when the sober and critical
sense Of the English-speaking peoples
began to take special notice of that ad-
dress that the splendid qualities OF 1t
shone forth, proving it one of the finest
classic addresses Of which our language
can boast. And so of that great battle
itself; scorned by military science be-
cause it was in a way an accident In
its beginning, it is now coming to be
regarded as one Of the greatest lessons
in. military science and battle strategy
and tactics.

Lister died recently ne was given
worldwide and just praise for the
grand things he had done for surgery
by the discovery Of aptiseptic dress
ings.. Every word said in eulogy Of
him in this direction was deserved, and
the universal recognition of the debt
which humanity owes to Lord Lister
was no more than his due.
American medical men have written
their names high and deep in the
records of fame by their services to
humanity in the same direction. 1t
has been we'll said that in the merciful
work of reducing suffering from den
tistry and surgical operations, "Amer
lea has had large and wonderful
share" The administration of laugh,

sionaly in Hartford, and chloroform
was first successfully administered in
Boston. A New York surgeon first pro.
posed what is now known as "lumbar
puncture, the introduction Of cocaine

low the waist, and other triumphs of
American surgeons stand forth prom.
inently to their credit.
And now another American surgeon.
DR.. George W. Grille, of Cleveland. has
been bringing TO the attention of the
British Medical Association the feast,
bility of new method of producing
anaesthesia. What he proposes is de
signed TO do away with the shock
which customarily follows operations
under the usual application of auaes-
thetics. Under DIR. Crlle's discovery
the effects of the system which he
proposed do not necessarily pass off
in a few hours, as is the case in the
use of chloroform, ether, or cocaine ap-
piled TO the surface. Dr.. Crile's dis
covery makes il feasible, according TO
his claim, to prolong the period Of in
sensibility for days The advantage of
this is evident Under it the system

strengthening effect OF time does away
altogether with the usual shock that
in so many eases is fatal in itself.
The particulars of DR.. Crile's dis
covery have not so far been given out
but since he has been able TO impress
the British Medical Association with |
the benefits of his discovery, it is to
be presumed that full particulars will |
be made public before long, and the
whole world viii have the advantage
of the immensely important discovery
thus made. The prolon CATION OF in. |

the demonstration Of his claims.
