IN 18 announcement of its coming Fourth of July celebration the Tam- many society of New York alludes to §tself as the “protector of the rights of ‘the people.” Tammany has been ac- cused of a great many things, but no one has ever yet charged it with being a friend of any but its own kind of people.

TrE highest rates of interest are usu- ally paid in New York just before the Ist of July and the lst of January, by reason of the oxtensive demands from individuals and corporations to meet simi-annual interest and pay dividends. Now that theso payments have been made for July wo may look for an easier money markot, although the general tendeney may still continue to create an exceptionul stringency. 1K taxpayors of Dovglas county will be interested in a decision of the Ne- braska supreme court handed down yes- torday. Under the constitution every county is required to pay the expense of caving for its insane at the stato msylum, but by a supplementary provi- »ion of the statutes the county is on- titled to recover the costs of such main- Benance from the estate of such inssne persons or their relatives who are liable for their support. An attompt to re- pover such costs was resisted in the case »f Douglas county against Baldwin, and n the lower court the county won the suit. The supreme vcourt, however, re- wverses the judgment of the lower court ©on the grounds that the statutory provi- sion covering the ease is unconstitu- tional. Horeafter the taxpayers of the entire county will be compelled to share the expense of maintaining the insane st the stute asylum, The decision will pdd several thgusand dollars aunually 10 the burden of the county every year, AN EXTRA S¥SSION IN AUGUST. The urgeney of the financial situation, togother with the pressure of public opinion, has induced the president to call congress in extra session a month earlior than he had proposed 10 dv, and that body will meet in August instead of Sentember. This matter was thor- onghly discussed at mootings of the cab- inet and undoubtedly the president also obtained outside advice from sources having his confidence, the weight of | which, it is to be inferred, was favor- able to calling an extra session at the earlicst practicable date. The law re- quires thirty days noties of a special ses- sion of congress, so that August 7, thy dato agroed upon, which falls on Mon- day, isa convenient time, and the pros- ident will doubtless issue his proclama- tion at once. There will be no objection from any source to this decision. On the con- trary, men of all parties are agrecd that it is most desirablo for congress to entor upon the consideration of the financial conditions as soon as possible. It was a quite general opinion before the financial situation assumed the more serious phase duo to the order stopping the free coinage of silver in India that it was unwiso to postpono the meeting of congress until Sep- tember, and this feeling has been groatly strengthened since. It is not improbable that the president has sym- pathized with this view, and that he was ynwilling to call congress togothor carlier than the autumn for the reason that he did not feel any confidence that the majority of his party could be in- duced to adopt & wise financial policy. Itis quite possible he felt that they needed a more extended practical ex- perience of commercial and financial disaster in order to convert them to sounder views of what is essential to a sound and stable currency and to the maintenance of the nation's credit. Bat the exigency has become too urgent to admit of further unnecessarysdelay and the president has properly and wisely ided that congress shall meet as soon as it can be lawfully convened. Assom- Dling in August it can be orgunized and ready for work by September. 1t will hardly be profitable to indulge in conjectures as to what may be done. Very likely there will. be a prolonged contest over any financial propositions that may be submitted. The indications are that the silver purchase law will be repealed, but whether unconditionally or not is a question. The immediate effect of the decision to call an extra session of congress in August will un- doubtedly be reassuring to the country. EXPERIMENTING UN THE POOR. Charges of carelessness and wanton neglect have been mado against Dr. Lanyon, county ph an. THE B has given both the complainants and Dr. Lanyon a fair and impartial heaving. Sifted down to the agreed facts we find that the county physician has seen fit to delegate the duties devolving on him upon a medical student. Whether the student is competent to administer to the sick who require medical attendance at the hands of the county physician or not, his employment in the capacity of deputy county physician is o flagrant violation of the law. The law regulating the practice of medicine in this state expressiy forbids any person who isnot a graduate of a legitimate medical school from acting in the capacity of surgeon or physician. It might ba unobjectionable for a medical student to accompany the county physician on his visits to the sick, but the county physician subjects himself to the same penalties that the law imposes upon quacksif he know- ingly pormits a student to play doctor for his patients. The fact that theso patients are for the most part too poor to pay for medical servicos or drugs affords no excuse for such malpractice. Quite the contrary, people who by reason of poverty are compelled to call upon the health offi- cers of the city and county for medical aid are entitled to special care at the hands of the public. People who have means can choose their own physician, but people who are dependent must con- tent themselves with the service of the physician who is chosen for them, whether they will or not. The poor should not be subject to ex- periments for medical students because they are helpless, and the fact that the county physician ecannot afford to neg- lect his private practice for the paltry salary he receives from the county affords no excuse for such practices. 1t the county physician doos not consider himself sufficiently paid to attend to the calls made upon him by poor people, he should resign, THE NATIONAL HEALTH, The New York Academy of Medicine is engaged in a movement for the estab- lishment of a National Board of Health, with headquarters in Washington. Other medical societios at different points have become interasted in the project and at an early day after the mooting of congress a bill will be intro- duced providing for its organization, and a national system of quarantine. The proposition 1s an important one and in- terosts every community throughout the country. The present system is glar- ingly defective, and it seoms feasible to establish a system of dofense against invading epidemic that could be admin- istored without the clash of authority that 50 fre juently coeurs under the prese ent method, between national and state officials. The board as devised by the projectors is to co-operate with the state and municipal authorities in the matter improvement, and is to be pre- by a physician whose tenure of office shall only be terminated by death, misdemeanor or ineficiency. Its executive committee is to be chosen by the president of the United States, from the state and territorial representatives, and in addition is to have as members the surgeons general of the army, nayvy, and marine hospital sorvice. The body of the buard is to consist of a representa- tive of the medical profeasion of each stato and territory, appointed by the president for a term of not less than six yeurs. The board is to maot in Wash- ington not oftener than once in two years, unless specially convened in somo kreat emergency. The proposed bill also bestows upon the board legislative, OMAHA DAILY BE | jndictal and axecutive powers of an ine lvlep«mlnnh aracter subject to the ap- proval of the president of the United States. As aresult of this legislative power “‘a national sanitary code should bo constructed, ” as the requiremants of the servies may demand. It is this feature of the proposition that is likely to provoke the most sorious controversy. 1 It would scemn as though congress could enact all ueeded statutes to bring about cMeiont quarantine. The proposed board may be highly effective in devising and earrying out national sanitary measures without beeoming a medical legislature, nor is it likely that such powers as are sought could be granted in conformity with the constitution. Dr. T. Mitchell Prudden, an eminent medical sciontist, suggests a far more practical method for the organization of a national bureaif of this character. He would have it organized in tho Troas- y department, and consist primarily n oxecutive board of trained sani- tarians under a competent head, which, in co-operation with the marine hospital sorvice, and, if desirable, with the medi- cal services of the army and navy, should perform all those far-reaching funetions in the interest of the national health which the federal government alone could safely and effectively as- sume. An advisory board composed of physicians and sanitarians of experience and established repute, from different soctions of the country, selected by the president and confirmed by the senato, should be called in council by the execu- tive force of the bureau in deciding upon the general scope and nature of the work to be done at all ¥imes, and be ready to sustain thom in times of danger.” There can be no doubt of the anthority of the government to assume the powers and duties here involved without need- less discussion in congress. In otner countries national health departments have long been cstablished and experi- ence demonstrates their efficiency in preventing the dissemination of disease. AN INTERNATIONAL CLEARING HOUSE. Among the suggestions made at the monetary congress at Chicago the plan of an international clearing house was, verhaps, not the least worthy of atton- tion, granting that it would be practica- ble. The author of this suggestion be- lieves, with many of the ablest finan- ciers of the country, that the quantity of gold in the world is not sufficient to transact the business of the world, and his proposition is that all the principal nations combine in establishing a basis upon which the two metals should be coined. An international clearing house, which is an essential part of his plan, would equalizo the distri bution of the two metals among the na- tions adopting the plan according to their business and readjust the basis of coinage when necessary. Ho does not think the United States should carry the silver burden alone and he holds that England, with its extensive com- mereial relations in Iudia, is as much in- terested in maintaining a fair silver standard as the United States. This plan of an international clearing house for the more equal distribution of the money metals among the nations was suggested before the action stopping . the free coinage of silver in India and its claim to consideration is probably some- what diminished by that action, but the silver problem is not yot, by any means, definitely settled, and it is not necessary to dismiss from consideration any propo- sition of a practical character intended to help to a solution of the problem. There are two obvious difficulties in the way of an international clearing house, one being that the nations of Europe, whose acquiescence would be necessary to the success of the plan, evidently do not want to do anything for encouraging the use of silver, but rather seem to desire to get rid of that meeal. Of course an international clearing house that did not include England and Germany would amount to nothing for the purpose con- templated by such an institution, and, of course, there is no chance at present of those countries seriously considering a proposition of this nature. Another difficulty is that such an institution, to be fully effective, would have to have the sanction, and, perhaps, also, the supervision of the governmants under some form of mutual avrangement, and itis not clear that this would be prac- ticable, at any rate so far as the United States is concerned. While our govern- ment may enter into an agree- ment with other governments as to the ratio upon which gold and silver shall be coined, that being the object in view in calling the interna- tional monetary conference, we do not know where it would find the authority to enter into any arrangement for regu- lating the distribution of the two metals among the nations. That is a matter which seems to be clearly distinet from the functions and powers of the goneral government. Still, asalready remarked, the idea is not altogether unworthy of attention and is referved to upon the supposition that it may interest bankers and financiers who ave at this time earnestly considering every suggostion beaving upon the great financial prob- lem. A STATE L QUOR MUNOPOLY, Today the state of South Carolina will engage in the liquor business and become the only lagal dispenser of wines and liquors within that commonwealth. The innovation is made under a law passed by the last legisluture, which provides in substanca for the closing of all bars in private restaurants and saloons. The act requires the establish- ment of dispensuries in ¢ounties wher the majority of the freeholder voters may petition for them, the numbér of such dispensaries baing limited to ten in the county of Charleston, three in the county of Richlund and one in each of the other counties of the state. A commissioner is appointed by the governor, who is to sell liquors to dis- pensaries at 50 per cent profit over net cost. The etail business is to be guarded by a county board of control, while the governor, comptroller general and attorney general constituts a state bourd having a general supervision. Cocktalls, mint juleps and the whole catalogue of fancy drinks ave to bs dis- pensed over state bars, and druggiste who nse aleohol must buy of the dispen- sarios at prosoribed, prices. Railroads eannot carry otfier than state liquors and in case of vidlagion overy one con- nected with suchonrriage is held to be liable to punishmdnt. A dispateh of a'dgy or twoago from Columbia roported that the state liquor dispensary was ‘{H, full blast filling orders, and that it was exected the new stem would be_inaugurated at tho ap- pointed time, JiMyil, in about sixteon out of the thirty-fiyp counties. Governor Tillman, to whem the inmovation is largely due, has: for some time been busy gotting his force of constables thoroughly organized and instructed in the secretspy work which they ave to per- form. "The governor is reported as saying that nobody but himself and the state liquor commissioner will know moro than half of the constables appointed. There is a good deal of fecling against this feature of the new system and it is belioved that it will result in trouble in many localitics. Tt is estimatod that the assumption by the state of a monop- oly of the liquor businoss will retire from 82,000,000 to $3,000,000 now in- vested in that business, which has here- tofore been legalized by the state and will throw 5,000 persons out of employ- ment. Naturally the people who will thus be thrown out of business are dis- posed to fight the law and undoubtedly its validity will be tested in the courts. Most of the men engaged in the liquor business propose to store their stock and await developments, while others will convert their places of business into billiard rooms and restaurants, dispens- ing only such beverages as pop, mineral waters and seltzer. The dispensary law was a compromise between high license and prohibition and the operation of the unique oxperi- ment will be watched with eurious in- terest. Governor Tillman has exprossed the opinion that the law will be highly beneficial in one respect at least. It will enable the people of South Carolina to got a better guality of liquors than ever before. THE damage done to the historic fields of Gettysburg is irreparable. The cutting and blasting for the new railroad ks has been carried through the fields of the second and third days’ battles, through the rocks of the Devil's Denand onto Round Top. The rocks on the historic points which were heaped with the dead and dying and stained with the, blood of the union soldiers have been blasted out until the entiro character of the spot has been effaced. Probably no other civilized nation on the globe, would permit the desceration of so historic a field for mere dollars and conts. It WILL be strangd, if the ignorance and officiousness of the Columbian guards do not plunige the United States government into complications with some ofthe fire-eating South American republics.

Tho eaders of the French soclalists have become alarmed at the unpatriotic utter ances of some of their followers. These do- liverances have been pretiy frequent and pretty bold of late, and are now boing disa- vowed by those who are working for tho political success of the socialist party In the coming general olections. They feel that such sentiments are very ili-timed, to say the least, and would be much chagrined if & chauvinistic appeal agninst the socialists hould succeed in wresting some of their Parliamentary seats away from them. The audacious resolution, for example, recently adopted by a labor union that ‘a Ger- man enemy of capital is & better friend than a French capitaliss,” may be very true, but fs mnot a good platform upon which to go to an intonsely anti-German eloctorate. No more nelpful to the socialists, volitically, are the per- formances of the bolder spirits at Roubaix, where the municipal governmont is now in their eontrol. In their public meetings and processions in that city cries of “A bas la patrie!” and “Vive la Prusse!” have been heard far too often to pleass tho socialist political chiefs. Accordingly they are now afirming that those unpatriotic shouts were really uttered by agents of the police and that there really 1s no better patriot in the world, if you look at him narrowly, than an “inter- national socialist.” So far did thelr anxiety and alarm go over the imprudence of their brethren that they summoned a big meeting at Roubaix on June 17 expressly to resolve that they were the champion haters of Ger- many and the noblest of patriots. B The triumphal entry of Prince and Prin- coss Ierdinana of Bulgaria into Sofia the other day seems to have been a_pageant of remarkablo magnificence for that partof the world. In describing it one London cor- respondent writes: *The trumpeters of the Priuce's Life guards, the outriders, coach- men and footmen, with liveries of the Louis Quinze pattern in black, gold and silver, the colors of the prince and in blue and red, the colors of the princess, tho Montenegrin ea- vasses, in their gorgeously colored national garb, and the squadron of Life guards, with waving plumes—these were sufiiciently splendid, but they were outdone by the royal equipages, not loss than ton in num- ber. The most admired of all was tho state coach ot the prince and princess, in black and gold, lined with yellow satin and drawn by six beautiful brown horses from Milan, harnessed fn rich gold bronze, and wearing plumes of ostrich feathers. In keoping with the magnificence displayed by the court, the citizens of Sofia had done their best in the way of decorations. to impart to the Via Tri alis, extending about a milo and a quarter, a rich Oriental character. The finest eastern carpets and tapestries, stuffs of gold brocade, and pearl- emoroidered fabrics were hung out from conies and windows or used to decorate walls. As to flowers, wagon loads had been brought from France, Austria, Italy, and southern Bulgaria. Numberless bouquets were pre- sented to the princess und strewn on tho road, and whilo the royal procession was passing, the ladies who, according to the Orien.al fashion of dividing tho sexos, lined one side, while the men lined theother, never ceased throwing flowers. The enthusiasm of the women, indeed, equaled. if it did not oxceed, that from the opposite side of tho street, tho hurrahs from the natives on either side being mingled with the hochs and cljens and evivas from the foreign resi- dents all along the route. No similar ex- citement of a popular character has ever before been known in the Bulgarian capital.” e The latest figures of the British Board of Trade for the month of May indicato a re- vival in tho foreign trade of the country. Ever sinco the year 1800 England's trade with foreign countries has been uniformly decreasing. It fell from 749,000,000 in that year to 744,000,000 in 1891 and to 713,000,000 1n 1892, showing a falling off of 36,000,000 1n two years, Mouth by month the same story of decline continued to be told, and it was not until last May that there wa: favor- able turn in the tide, Great Britain im- ported from abroad £1,800,000 worth more in May this year than in May, 1892, Moreover, the exports of British and Irish produce last month exceeded in value those of a twelve- month ago by rather more than §33,000, while the foreign and colonial merchandise exported was worth £33,000 more than in the corresponding month last year. In short, the aggregate foreign trade (imports and exports) in May this year, exceeded that of the previous May by considerably more 200,000,000 sterling. This represents cent on the y, 1503, a8 against 4 in May, 1 Notwithstanding this improvement, the total foreign trade for the first five months of the present year shows a serious deciine as e d with the samo period in 1502 The decline amounts to over £ 0,000 sterli There is, therefore, o great deal of lost ground to be made up in the remaining soven months, if the record for 1893 is to equal that of last year v v Tho correspondent 0f the London Times at Widin sa, Tho abseuce of all opposi- tion on the part of tho Bulgarian clerzy to the recent change of the constitution, which permits the successor to the throne to be of another creed than tho orthodox faith, is a remarkable and_ instructive featuro in the presont situation.

The answer is plain.
