A MILwAUKEE speculator warns the publio that the crops are in a bad way. His investments on the board are probably ina worse one. Speaking for Nebraska the crops have never looked better for the season. Tae ory Is still for harmony in New York, but the 213,000 half breeds who refused to vote for Folger hang back from the party organiza- tlon, controlled by the stalwarts and decline to come Into the fold and be forgiven. —— A sopa water fountaln exploded at Syracuse last week and killed two men. If the explosion had ocsurred in England the drugglst would have ‘run a falr chance of five yecars penal servitude for keeping concealed ex- plosives in his possession. DispatcHes from Washlngtoa iu- dlcate that Col. Matthowe, cf the In- ternal revenue office will probably succeed Mr. Raom, OCol. Matticows deserves the appointment. He is & veteran In tho sexvico, and was one of the most efficient lustraments in breakling up the crooked whisky ring.

There s no report as to whether they are taught the use of noap and water, SECRETARY CHANDLER has adver- tised for bids for his new crulsers, but the only four firms who can do the work have arranged matters pleasant. ly, so that the competition will not be very fierce, The government might have saved itself the cost of paper, ink and publishers charges, E———— Somz idea of the growth of the tel- ephone system Is given by the fact that all the factorles In the United States, six In aumber, are dolng an enormous business, one establishment alone hav- ing recelved orders for 6,000 instru- ments within a few weeks. Some idea of the growth of profanity In the United States s given by the fact that not one telephone In five can be heard half the time when you are anxious to use it. UxDER the law the new board of education will organize to-nlght by electing its officers for the ensuing year, The amended act passed by the leglslature authorizes the election by the board of a superintendent of public schools for the term of three years, Inour opiulon, and we belleve we express the sentlment of the patrons of the public schools in Oma- ha, the board could do no better than to elest Professor James for three years at this meetlng. Everyone con- cedes hls fitness for the position, and he hasnow become attached to Omaha and {s doubtless willing to set- tle down for life among us. To leave THE DOCTORS AND THE COD® There is war among the New Yurk dootors over thelr code of ethios The older practitioners around whom still lingers the odor of calomel and senna have banded themselves togetbur to suppress the younger members of the professlon who are ssid to be tending towards a dangerous laxity in professional conduct. For a hundred years or more the allopaths have ful- lowed a ocode which prohibits all members from consulting with phy- slcians of other schools, from adver- tising thelr profession and from douing several other equally harmless things of a like nature, and every docter who declined to follow these rules has been branded as a quack. Bat of late yonrs there has been a tendency among alarge number of the profession to rebel against the sensitive restrictions of the medical code and many of the most distinguished pro- fessors and practitioners have en- tirely repudiated it. A year ago the New York Madlical soclety formally declined to be bound by its provisions, They dented the necessity of its exlatence and declared that they would censult with whom they pleased or refase to consult with whom they pleased. Two of the largest of the New York medioal colleges are with the liberals, the College of Physiclans snd Sargeons and the University, while Bellevue holds the fort with the elder practitioners. The last act in the drama has been a meeting of the New York Academy of Mediclne un- der the charge of the Bellevae men and & wholesale reading out of the profession, by that soclety, of all doe- tors who refase to ablde by the old regulations, Who shall decide when dootors disagree? An impartial public, of course. There Is no good reason why a physiclan should refuse to oconsult with whoever he pleases, Suppose he does happen to exchange views with a quack, does that necessarily render his views worthless in consultation with others? What good grounds could a lawger glve for refasing to consult with an- other lawyer if requested by his client to do 8o, even if the other attorney should happento be a shyster, and how would such consultation affect either his own professional standing or injure his cllent’s juterest? Tae fact of tke mattor is that the schools of medicine have boen so modified within the last twenty-five years that there are less differences of treztment between the schools than there are be- tween diffsrent physlclans of the same school. Afier all, the patients ocare leas for the Intermivable quarrellings of the doctors than they do for their own recovery. There s even lees reason why physi- clans should not advertise lagitimate- ly then tho:e {s why they should not consuls with “irrogulars.” The older physiclavs, have made n renutation and may ©ot noed it. Thelr fame is taelr besi adverttzemoant, Besldes their names find their way con- stantly into print ia opotices of famous operations, rccommenda tione for remedize and in many other ways not open to the young doctor. What reason is there why youug phy- alcians should not stimuliate thelr bua- fnesa juet as a young attorney does, 80 long as in 8o dolng he does not lose his self respect? The code furnishes an excellent excuse for the doctors to bilk the papsra, Ae things now go they are glad enough to let the public know when they set a leg or amputate a limb or remove a cancer, but they shadder with horror at the tdea of paylog anything for the notice. That, they claim, would be ‘‘unprofession- al” It would also, sometimes, be fnconvenient, 1If the doctors would drop thelr everlasting growls and practice thelr profession In the light of modern aclence the world would be better, and the mortality tables would be shorter and less closely filled. The time has come for medical practition- ers to drop their exclusiveness. The public will no lorgar sustaln it. S——— TaE declslon just rendered by the natlonal supreme court in the so-called granger test case made by the Chl- cago, Burllngton & Qulnoy road against the state ot Illinols s of far reaching importance. The highest tribunal in the land once more sustalns the right of each state to limit the exactlons of public carriers by establishing & msximum tariff, In this case the Chlecago, Barlington & Quincy claimed among its vested rights guaranteed by the charter granted by the leglslature of the state of Illinols, the right to establish its own frelght and passenger rates regardless of any regulation by legls- lature or board of rallroad commis. sloners. This clalm was deniei by the supremo court of Illinols, which held that the leglslature and the com- misslon created by it had sapervisory contzol over public carriers In goneral aad reilroads ia particalar. An appesl was taken to the United States supreme court and thai body fully sustalns the decjslon of the Iilinols supreme court, This declsion shounld sottle once and forever all the arrogant cleims of vest- ed rights to practice exiortlon by cx this matter open will pave the way for | acting oppressive tolls from their pat- intrigue and impalr the usefulness of the superintendent by holding over his head the constant menace that he may be obliged to look out for another place. rons, by railroads chartored elther .by leglslative authorlty or by congress. It is settled by this decision that rail- road regulation is within the preper province of state leglalatures so far THE DAILY BEE~OMAHA TUESDAY MAY 8 aa It 1s exercised upon commerce with- in the state. The right toc regulate transportation rates botween the states belongs to congress, and to that body the people look for relief from some of the moat flagrant abuses of the present railway systom. VANDERBILT'S RETIREMENT. Mr, Vanderbilt and his sons have retired from the actlve management of the great system of railroads which for many years have been controlled by the commodore and his descend. sots which comprisee the New York Central, the Lake Shore, the Michigan Central and the lately acquired “‘Nickel Plate.” While the family will still retaln their immense inter- ests In these corporations, the im- mediate work of directing and oper- ating the propertles will devolve upon others. Mr. Vanderbllt wishes it to be understood that he has permanent- ly retired from railroading, and that for the fatare he will only concern himself with his system so far as to sign for his dividends and receipt for profits on stuck sales. If any man can afford to retire Mr. Vanderbilt oan, He Ia to.day the richest man in the world, whose wealth s varlously estimated at from $200,000,000 to $300,000,000, and who boasts that he fails to spend each year one-fifth of his annual {n- come. The Inheritor of an enormous estate, he has increased it wonderfally by concentrating his entire attention to the development of a single system of rallroads, and by cautions ventures in the stock market, based on certaln knowledge of the course which events would take. It is only falr to say that the boy who the old commodore pronounced a stupld blockhead has proved himself a man of tremendous energy, of scarcsly less segacity than his father, and the possessor cf great ability and power of application to his business. Mer. Vanderbilt will now have more lelaure to devote to studylng the pub- lio from whom he has drawn his wealth and whom he affects to despise so thoroughly. He can scan them from the elevated pedestal of milltonaire- dom or investigate them more thor- oughly from the platform of the late Peter Cooper, who retirod trom busi- ness less than a month ago and was followed to his grave by 15,000 of the people whom he had studied through the glasses of & Christian philanthro- plat, Tae Dakota capital commissioners were iu St Paul Saturday on their way to points in Central Dakota on the line of the Northern Pacltio that may be eligible for locating the new capital of Dakota, The Pioneer Press prints lengthy interviews with members of the com- mission which show that there are to be no steps backward in carry- ing out the capital scheme, The cownmissioners appear to be nearly unsuimous that the site should selected with referonce to this quostion of division. Thaen when the territory is divided the southern section will have its capital all fixed, when the new state is created. There s no ques- tlon that the sentiment of the people of the territory s in favor of division. All poluts so far cousidered are below the 46:h parallel. In selecting the sites, varlous questions will be taken into cousideration, such as eligibility, centrallty, accessibility to raliroad lines, etc. Of course the amount named in a proposal will have its in- fluence, but nelther the amount of money, nor of land offered will alone decide the question. Mr, McKentie, one of the commls. sloners, is reported as follows: ‘We are making headway as fast as we can, So far as the artlsles that have been published in the papers, In regard to crookedness in the action of the commission are concerned, I can say to you that they are lies made out of whole cloth, and are gotton up by the old Yankton ring, which has been robbing the territory for years, and a more corrupt gang never cursed any territory or state. We do not antlcipate any delay on account ot the proceedings in court. We shall go forward and select 8 locatlon by the 1st of July, and then proceed to the erec- tlon of the bulldings, etc., In accord- ance with the terms of the act, and re- port our doings to the next legislature, All Northern Dakota and at least three to one In Southern Dakota, favor the capltal scheme. Yankton has had the capital for the past ten years, and has not had enterprise enough to even furnish seats for the accommodation of the legislature. The sentiment Is that it {s high time to make a change, and the change will be made—notwithstanding the howlings of the Yankton ring. Bex BurLer has put his foot down upon Hoosac tunnel appropeiation and smashed the double track project with his V-toe. Tae blll to make the great East river bridge between New York and Brooklyn free for faot passengers was stolen just before the New York leglslature adjourned and the ferry monopoly will feel greatiy relleved. with mere than ordinary interest the course of the state buard of equaliza- tion in making up thelr assessment of rallroad property for this year, This time the board will not be allowed to plead the baby act by claiming they did not do thelr duty because they had no means to ascertaln the value of the respective roads and thelr fran- chises, LITER. NOTES. The current numbers of The Con- tinent bearing dates of May 2nd and Oth, are exceptionally rich In timely and superbly [lllustrated srticles, “The first opens with a fine en- graved portralt of Michael Munkacsy, porhaps the greatest of living paint. ors, and besides a number of drawings {llostrative of his works, presents a magoificent full page engraving from one of the noblest paintings—*‘Mil. ton Diotating Paradise Lost to his Daughters,” Tais piotare is owned by the Lenox library in New York, and the engraving was made from tho original expresaly for The Couttnent, There is also an engraviog of the figare of Carist from the artist's famous paintlog of “Ohrist before Puate.” The con: toxt is by Auna Bowman Biake, au author who has enj yed especial fu- clifties for learuivg from the wrtisy bimself the leadicg incidents of his professional carcer, The Corvtire.t {a presenting some admirable muga- zine {liustrations, of which this 1asuo contalns a large number of exce:a- ingly creditable examples. Iu the second number numed is a ske:ch of the late Alexinder H. Stephene, the typlcal southorn statesman who has done such emiuens servics for his state and for the nation at farge. The Continent s the fi:st of the mage- zines to publish a carefally prepared paper on the Iife and ser- vices of thiy remarkable and ifted man. Tbe author, the Rev. g:lenry Whitney Oleveland, was seleot- ed by Mr. Stephens as his liter- ary executor, and the present article prepared with the full approval of the deceased statesman, who well knew where It would eventually be published, and whe wrote an auto- graph for fac-simile production in The Continent. The clesing chapters of Judge Tourgee's ‘‘Hot Plowshares” Increase In Interest as the climax ap- Ernwhsl, and the author of ‘A Fool's rrand” has mnever done himself greater credit as a historical novelist than {n this volume of the seties. The illustrations, by A. B. Frost, are ex- ceedingly good. STATH JOTTINGS, Alma is now the county seat of Hn.rhn county.
