MKIJWAh F.m O.lT/OiY UVVOHM
The staff of the Johns Hopkins lion
pltal nnd the faculties of some ot the
Humorous medical schools in Uulttmorc ,
having considered the subject ot re
forms in medical education with a view
tonpplylng them locally , reached the
conclusion that the matter was of suf
ficient importance to take a national
form It is accordingly proposed to ask
the modicnl schools of the United States
to send delegates to u conference to ba
held in Kitshvillo in May next , concur
rently with the mooting there ot the
Atnorican Medical association , It
is suggested that the subjects which
will probably bo discussed at this
conference tire : Three years course
ofslx months sessions , graded course ,
wrltton and oral examinations , prelim
inary examinations In Kngllsh , and
laboratory instruction in chemistry ,
histology and pathology
Suoh a programme , embracing llttlo
more than the nlphabot of tnodlcal edu
cation , is certainly not promising ot
very extended reform , nnd the results
of past conferences called for the nur-
pose of improving Jlho character of
mouicnl education in this country nro
not reassuring But novortholcss the
movement desorvoa hearty encourage
mont That there is nocosslty for an
intelligent and honest olTort in
this direction it is presumed no
ono will question There are
oxcollcnt itiodlcal schools in the
Unllod States These of Harvard ,
the University of Pennsylvania , Johns
Hopkins , Columbia college , and a few
others , are highly meritorious Institu
tions , conducted on sound principles
and requiring thoroughness on the part
of these who receive tholrondorsotnont
But there is a multitude of other so-
called tnodlcal schools scattered all over
the country whoso mission It is to fill
the ranks of the medical profession with
men having only the most guporiiolal
acquaintance with the sclonco of medicine -
cine mon who go no farther than the
primmer of medical knowledge , and
armed with a diploma and an iniiuitc
assurance go forth to impose upon
the confidence ot a liolpless pub
lic F.vory your n horde ot this
class of ' docs is sent out from the so-
called medical schools to prey upon
their follow beings , and they are to bo
found In ovcry city and town through
out the country How much of the
general mortality is duo tothoignorauco
and mniprncticoof these quacks can
not bo computed , but it is undoubtedly
very largo The number of low-class
schools increases from year to your , and
necessarily the miiiihor of low-class
doctors , for those institutions oiler in
ducements for easily and speedily ac
quiring a diploma and title which in
sures loom a largo patronage The
chief difficulty in the way of a
general reform is obvious The
high-class schools cannot descend
from their present standard without de
stroying their claim to confidence nnd
for the low-class schools to attempt to
emulate the higher institutions would
result in killing off most of them
While this would bo beneficial to the
public it is not to bo supposed that the
stocktioldors in those institutions are
going to become bonetaotors Still it
is possible that this projected confer
ence may do some good , and it will not
bo-wholly valueless if it shall merely
call public attention to a subject of
really vital importance to the public ,
for few things can bo of greater concern -
corn than the propar education
of these into whoso care all
of us must at bomo time
place our lives Certainly these who
wouldtroform medical education in the
United States need have no difficulty in
proscribing what is necessary They
have only to study the methods of such
education in Great Britain , Germany
uud Franco in order to enable thorn to
lormulato a system which , if it could bo
gonorully adopted here , would in a few
years w 'ipo olt the disgraeo that now at
taches to the American medical

Tin : suvnuT sjm iok farce
The newspaper correspondents in
Washington were recently onablcd to
supply their unpers with detailed in
formation regarding certain Important
discussions and votes in the executive
jsossious of the sonnto , notably what
transpired in connection with the con -
firmation ot Indian Commissioner Mor
gan and the ratification of the extradi
tion treaty with Great Britain The
fullness ami accuracy of the reports ot
these star-ohumbor proceedings was a
source of very great annoyance to some
of the senators , and the result was the
appointment of a committee to investl-
gate the matter and report a plan for securing -
curing the inviolable socrocv of executive -
tivo aesslojis The commlttoo has since
boon devoting itself several hours cnuh
dtiy to the task asslgnod it , which liow-
ever seriously it may bo regarded by
senators , is vlo.vod by the correspon
dents as a highly amusing proceeding
The senate has periodical attacks of
virtuous Indignation because the pub
lic is leapt informed through the press
ot what the sountord do behind the
elosod doors of their oh am bar Vet it
is hardly possible that any member of
the senate can bo ignorant of the fact
that the bocrets ot the oxocutlvo
sessions only leak out through
senators themselves , nnd that
the information is imparted for
publio use because interested sonutora
dusiro that it shall go out correctly
The press correspondents Uud very Ut-
tlo dlfllculty in ascertaining what has
transpired in uxecutlvo sessions , for
the reuben that in splto ot pledges to
secrecy there tire few senators who do-
cllno to furnish information
upon mutters -
tors which affect their constituencies , ,
or upon which they desire to bo sot
right before the people There arc and
will always bo senators who for per
bonal or political reasons will doslio i
that executive proceedings Miall got
into print , and it is doubtful if any plan
that can bo devised would prevent -
vent the disclosure ot iuforma-
tlou lu cases where Individ-
rlnl or party interests conld bo ad-
vaucod by giving it publicity Never
while senators differ about questions i
that oomo before them will any rule Ira
posing secrecy upon their deliberations i
and actions bo effectual , Undoubtedly ,
Bomo of the senators who profess to bo
ludiguuut at the recaut disclosures have
boon guilty of oqtinlly grave violations
of i the rule against the revelation to
outsiders i of what ttikos place in the
star-chambor procoodtngs
So far ii4 the pending investigation is
concerned it is not llkoly to amount to
anything The men who could toll how
the oxocutlvo session secrets are
obtained and from whom the news
paper correspondents will not do , so
They understand perfectly the neco3-
slty of protecting both themselves and
the authors ot their inform itton , so
that all olTorts on the part ot the senate
commlttoo to got any light on their
Investigation from the nowsptpjr mm
nro certain to fall And the outcome
will bo that the oxccutlvo session farce
will continue to bo played lu the old
way It is strange that enough senators
cannot bo brought to hou the absurdity
ot this practice , to say nothing of its
unropublic.in nnd unamorlcnu charac
ter , to ao aWy with it It is a cus
tom that cannot bo justified on any
ground of expediency or necessity , and
it is wholly ut vnrltinco with the nnturo
nnd spirit of our political institutions
Its tendency Is to depreciate the senate
in popular respect and conlidouce , and
such a humiliating exhibition as that
body 1b now making of itself in prose
cutlngan investigation which Is a vir
tual Imputation of faithlessness against
its own members , casts a grave roproich
on the country The sennto would gain
very greatly in popular regard by abolishing
ishing the oxocutlvo Bosslon
Pit ICES O CONSUMEIiS
An interstate cattlomon'a convotition
has been called to meat at Fort Worth ,
Tex , on the 11th of this month , to Inquire -
quire into the causes which have led
to the low prices o ( boot to the pro
ducers without any corresponding
bonollt to the consumer The proposed
inquiry is nltogothor uuiquo , a conven
tion to consider the interests of the
consumer boiag n , dccldod innovation
It ia not on this account , hovvovor , the
los3 Important or cotnino ' ndablo , and
while it is not tobobxpoctod tnatlt will
result in anything to the bonollt of the
consumer , it may bo hoped that it will
impart some information , explanatory
of his uniform position as a victim
under nil conditions of the market ,
that will not bo wholly without inter
est to him Ho can obtain uo satisfac
tory information from his butehor Ho
may learn from the market quotations
that that plauslblo individual is enabled -
ablod to buy his boot at four or five
cents a pound , and ho will naturally
wonder why It is thai , ho is asked
twelve to lifteou eonts for a steak , ac
cording to the cut , but if ho lias the
courngo to put the question ta the
butehor ho is as likely as anything else
to go away convinced that the dealer
in moat is the man to ba convnisor-
ated
It is a act that within the last year
or two the prices of cattle have materi
ally doclincd , until they have reached
a point at which the producers e.iy _
there is no profit in raising cat
tlo Undoubtedly moro than ono
cause has operated to produce the state
of affairs of which the stockmou com
plain , and which has been tnado lho
subject of investigation by neo.ninitteu
of the United States sailato , but th'd
principal cause assigned is'tno manipu
lation of the market and the cnutrol ot
transportation rates by the allege 1 boot
ring Whatever the causes , however ,
it is a fact which the oxporlenco of con
sumers will verify that the low prices
to the produoor have not cotros ' pond
tngly benefited the consumer But
the same thing i\ true of other com
modities than rboof A Chicago <
contemporary recently noted that
bread mude from wheat grown ifl'
the northwestern''btates ' and ground
into Hour iiy the mills of Minnoapulia is
sold in Chipago at five and six cents a
pound , while the same Hour bhippad to
Liverpool and there baked into bread is
sold ut two and two nnd a half cents a
pound And our contoniporary nbservos :
' • While the profits of the farmers have
boon shacod away on one sidu the consumer
sumor of their products has secured
llttlo or no relief Instead of the low
prices of products in first hands being
rollcctod in the prices of the consumer
the case is exactly the opposite ; prices
in first hands and in the hands
-of the man who has tr family
to food are relatively wider
uiiart than almost over before " The
los3 of the farmer brings no corrosuond-
luir gain to the consumer The gam i3
to the railroads aud the middlemen
So it is with pretty tnueh the whole
listat necessaries Such as are not con
trolled by trusts or syndicates arc at the
morryof apoculalors and railroad man
agers , who prosper by plundering both
the producer and the consumer Such a
condition is certainly " a serious reproach
to the American economic system , nnd
constitutes a very worthy subject for
the consideration of Rt-atosmen. The
time 1b certainly ripe for soma manifes
tation of public concern in thu interests
of the consumer , and it is to be hoped
the interstate cattlemen's convention
will bo successful in discovering the
causes which are operating against the
producers of moat without any aJviin-
tago to the pee plo who oat it , and will
point out a practicable remedy

stlrrod English society to the core , and
which mon high in olllcial lifo have un-
doubtodly endeavored to keep ns much
as possible from the publio gaze , '
but for this reason his courngo in ar
raigning the highest officer In the gov-
orninotit will command the greater ad-
miration The circumstantial state
monta ot Mr Labouchoro show that ho
did not proceed without having very
thoroughly fortiQod his position , and
the fact of his susponsloti will not do-
stroy in the publio mind the offoot of
his charges , nor will Lord Salisbury bo

explanation that will refute the charges 1

Lincoln , Nee , March 1. iSponlal to The
Hbk ] "lho elovntors of Nobrnska ought to
bo opened to producers Indiscriminately for
shipment ot grain " This sentiment wan
wry emphatically expressed by a member of
thu state board of transportation to Tun Bke
representative this morning ' 'As- they uro
operated today it Is well known that they
nro lu the hands of mlddlomon at the ox-
ponte ot the producer The system is vvroug
that puts machinery Into the hands
of capitalists to be oporntcd at
the exponae ot the producer of nny
stnlo Now , in Mlnnosntn und Illinois ele
vators nro oiieii to all cnuiors at certain fixed
charges for llio foivice performed by the
elevator operators for tnu storing , cloauiug
uud loadluir of grain , for Bhipmont to the
eastern grain markets The rates for this
service are regubttod und established by a
commission empowcrod by lucislntivo net ,
und in the two states named the duties in
connection with the regulation of ware
houses is made additional to the duties of
thu railroad cointnisslonors The basis of
rales Is similar to Unit for transportation
charges , viz : Limited to a Just return on
the investment of capital
"I'hu oporntion ot a system of elovntors
unHcr regulation , ns heretofore Btntod , bo-
euros for the producer unrestricted advan
tages for the shipment ot his product to the
conipotitivo markets of tha country , viz :
Chicago , St Louis , Duluth , etc Ho Is not
compelled to accept the offers of luoal buy
ers , but is In 11 much better position nffordud
by the ulteruatlvu ot soiling to the local
buyers ; of easy shipment lo the orincipul
markets east , or ho can , it ho so doslros ,
store Ills grain , and upon the through ware
house rocolpt which ho obtains therefor Is
provided with an uuqucstlonahlo basis for
credit
"In the case now pending before the supreme
premo court under mandamus proceedings ,
instituted by the attorney general to compel
thu obuyanco of nu order of the statu bouru
of transportation in the case of thu Elmwood
Farmers alliance vs the Missouri I'aclfio
railroad company , had the board docturcd
that common carriers are without authority
to acquire and Hold lands for granting to
individuals special privileges for spec
ulative profits , then ttio elevators already
located on tbo Missouri l'aclllu depot grounds
would bo unable to sccuro a ronownl of their
leases ut the cxrjiration of the year ; nnd
then if the board bad followed with a recom
mendation to the legislature for the passage
of a law authorizing railroad companies to
execute contracts for the location uud oporn
tion of elevators on its grounds adjiircut to
side tracus , such elevators to be operated at
all tunes for the receipt , storage uud loading
Into curs of grain ( establishing a fixed
maximum price per bushel for the service ,
with u provision adding to the power
of the railroad commission the
regulation aud ndjustuiont of the
rates with u view of limiting the enrniugs to
u Just return on tbo capital invested in ele
vators would have boon an easy matter
Such u measure would bo apt to meet
with the hearty support , not only of the
grain producers but the olovutor mon ot the
BtaUs would very likely favor its passage
most earnestly , for this reason : At about
all the railroad stations hi the grain pro
ducing Bocttont of the state nro two and
sometimes moro elevators built upon rail
road grounds It is perfectly natural to sup
nose that their owners would grasp the op
portunity afforded by the proposed law for
securing a fair rate of profit on the outlay
rather than uudcrirn the heavy expense of
removing nnd the construction of spur
tracks to a new loeatiau
"Uy muny it will be conceded that such a
solution of the elevator question would ba of
gruitcr benefit to the producers of the stulo
than the lomporuuig method of declaring
that having allowed one person the use of
its grounds in the buying und shipping of
grain , a railroad must extend thu same
privilege to all others desiring it
Ibis would absolutely shut out monopo
listic tendencies , so fur u < > grain is con
cerned , und such firms as Harris , Woodman
& Co , mentioned very Justly u few duys
ago by The Uku , would not bo enabled to
secure uud gain individual control of fifty or
moro ot thu principal olovutors of the suite ,
and the great mass of producers , however
poor , would always bo able to got the top of
the market for their products whenever cir
cumstances uompellod thorn to put thorn on
thu market "
