OR1CGOX CITY, Al'KIL 2, 1897. In SliorwooJ, -WaHliint,'ti)ii county, a man cannot vote- at the town flection unlusfl ho pay taxes on $100. Tim Dingloy li!l revc-uln the alliance of the r'mlilican party with tho tnihta ami combines, tho coiiHolKluti"! enemies of honest government. Comtiri'TioN in high places will have become a stench in the nostrils of the American people before McKinley is half through his four years. What else can we anticipate from tho Ilanna regime? The mashes need no longer he in the dark as to too tangibility of their foe. It is the horde of politicians, who, under tho guise of tho republican party, are planning to rob them by means of the tiew tariff. The republican party, the friend of tho monopolist, has no uso for tho poor man beyond his vote. Tim spoilsmen of tho republican party are insane with greed. They ridicule the warning of Representative MeMillen when he declares that the Diugley tariff measure carries higher rates of duty than any law ever passed by the American congress, or groaned under by an Ameri can people. The sooner tho republican party goes tho length of its rope the better. Ooi.n electric light, being vacuum il lumination without incandescence is already in full operation, says the Phila delphia t'ress, which, in a year or two, by its general introduction, should cut down the price of light to a sixth of its current cost. A few years hence, electric light will be as cheap and free in every house as water. Ex-Prkbidknt Harrison's address be fore Ann ArborUniversity isan encourag ing evidence of the fact that our foremost public men are studying the current complex econoipic problems that demand solution. He admitted that a way must hs devised to place corporations under propor restraint and to bring to the tax roll the vast aggregate of untaxed per sonal property. The legislative forces, hampered by the conditions surrounding them and the great complications of the questions before them, seem to be inadequate. It is more difficult to make wise laws than to interpret or exente them. The great reform laws must be framed by commissions composed of the brightest minds in tho states. They must have time to study thoroughly the subject. Opportunity must be given to the interests to bo affected and to tho public to present suggestions and ob jections. There should be no attempt to bring in tho millenium on tho morrow. It would be too sudden. The ideal can Jiot be reached at a step, but we should face and move that way. IS THERE BALM IN GILEAD? To the Editor: The recent disagree- meiit among the physicians in this city, spreading even to doctors o( Portland, suggests the question. Is there any virtue in the so-called sc.ence of medicine? Is not the "science" practi cally all a matter of opinion ? Men dis pute more bitterly over matters of opinion than over any'hing else, and religion and medicine oflor two most r.Miulii,. fiol.lu f,,r .1 ,loi, .liumrrno. i I Will IV1UU IV. I . ,.,,v ,....,. ments. The reason for this may be found in the fact that there is so very little in either that can be actually demonstrated. It is a noteworthy fact that only those who have reputations that aro secure can all'ord to tell the truth about their business ; and as this is matter of doctors let us quote a few doctors on points that it might be pre sumptions for a liiytiutti to altempt to criticize. Hear what James Johnson, M. 1) . K. It. S., editor of the Meilieo ('l:irurj.'ii'al Ueviews says: "I declare as my con hcicnlions conviction, founded on lout; experience and relleelion, that if there was not a single physician, surgeon, nuin-imclw ife, chemist, apothecar, druggist, nor drug on the face of the earth there would be Ij's nickni and less mortality than now prevail." John Mason t!oode, M. l., F. It. S., author of "lioode's Study of Medicine," says: "The effects of our medicines on the human sy.-tem are in the higheet degree uncertain, except, iudeed, that they have destroyed more lives than war. pestlcnce and famine combined." The J'ublin Medical Journal says: Assuredly the uncertain and most un satisfactory art called medical science is FOR FINE no science at all, but a Jumble of in consistent opinion', of conclusions hastily Hnd often incorrectly drawn, of facts misunderstood, of comparisons without analogy, of hypotheses without reason and of theories not only useless hut dangerous " Dr. Alonzo Clink, a professor in the New York Collegn of Physician and surgeons says: ''In their zeal to do good, physicans have hurried many to thet'ravp, who would have recovered if left to nature." Prot. J W. Carson of the same col legsssys: "We do not know whether our patients recover because we give them medicine or because nature cures them. Mr. Oliver iVendell Holmes says: "Mankind would be Infinitely better oft" if all drugs were cunt into the sea, but It would he bad for the fl-dies." l)r. Uostwick, author of tho "History of Medicine." says: Kvery dose of medicine given is a blind experiment on the vitality of the patient." Is there, then, any difference between thesiipersiition of the eivilizud and the heathen medicine man? Of course the civilized doctor has had the advantage of schools, and ought thereby to known much more; but, alas, while lie does not seek to diive out lite malignant demon by drums and incantations, ho "goes for it" w ith the deadly mercury and no less fatal bvpedi-rmie syringe. The Indian medicine man "holds down bis job" because of ids shrewdness Mid capacity to w ork up mi the credulity of his fellows. The civilized medicine man has the same leverage, and, in addition, he bus captured the strong arm of the law to enable to "hold up" the community. He has the power of tho state govern ment before bun and behind him, and in many places he has caused laws to he enacted which forbid a nun dying unless by the aid of legally accredited physicians or the hangman. Bilious. The 0 ilnmbia Comic Op era Company, under the directionof.Mr. Chas.L Young, will open an engagement at Shively's opera house on Monday evening, Aoril 5th, in the beautiful comic opera "Mis cott," which will be presented on a seale of sumptiousness hitherto un known in the presentation of comic opera In this city. On Monday night "Mascott" will be seen with new and especially elegant costumes to bring out its oriental grandure, a production that will unquestionably make many requests for it to be repeated. "Mascott" is one of the best of tbe almost classic comic operas written during the last twenty years, will be the bill. Theraanagament has spared no expense in securing the most perfect and beautiful stage set tings Hnd costumes obtainable for the pro dilution of these splendid opeias, and it is said that a revelation is in Rlore for those who Hre fortunate enough to at tend.
