EX-SENATORINQALLS of Kansas has pursued a bomuwhiit erratic career over plnco ho was elbowed out of the United States senate by Poffor. His latest evi dence of eccentricity is his proclamation that the country is on the vorpo of a great financial peril. AH a senator Jngalls was brilliant , as a statesman out of a job ho has boon at least amusing , but its n professional alarmist ho is tiresome. THE highest rates of interest are usu ally pitld in Now York just before the 1st of July and the 1st of January , by reason of the extensive demands from indivldunlH and corporations to meet elml-anmiul Interest and pay dividends.

Under the constitution every county is required to pay the expense of caring for its inrniuo at the state usyluin , but by u supplementary provi- ci Jii of the statutes the county is entitled - titled to recover the costs of such main tenance from the estate of such inauno persons or their relatives who are liable ( or their support. An attampt to re cover such ousts was resisted in the case pf Douglas county agaliibt Huldwin , and in the loxvor court the county won the cult. The supreme court , however , re verses the judgment of the lower court en the grounds that the statutory provi sion covering the case is unoonstltu tlonul.

The decision will idd several thousand dollars annually V ) the burden of the county every year /t.v B.TT/U avsstotr AVOUST. The urgency of the financial situation , ojrothor with the prcssuro of public opinion , has induced the prcsldont to call congress in oxtrn session a month ourlior than ho had proposed to do , ami hat body will moot in August instead of Sontombor , This matter was thor oughly discussed at mooting. * of the cab- not and undoubtedly the president also obtained ouUldo advice from source ? mving his confidence , the weight of rhloh , it is to bo" inferred wa * favor able to calling an extra session at the earliest practicable dato. The law requires - quires thirty days notioo of a special ses sion of congress , so that August 7 , th-3 date agreed upon , which falls on Mon day , is a convenient time , and the pros- dent will doubtless issue his proclaina- .Ion . nt onco. There will bo no objection from any source to this decision. On the con- , rary , men of all parties tire ngrcod that it is most desirable for congress to enter upon the consideration of the Inanclal conditions as sobn as possible. [ t was a qulto poiioral opinion before the financial situation assumed the moro serious phase duo to the order stopping -ho free ooinago of nllvur in India that it was unwlso to postpone [ ho meeting of congress until Sop- Lcmbor , and this feeling has boon jrently strengthened slnco. It is not improbable that the president has sym pathized with this vlow , and that ho was lyuvilllng to call congress together earlier than the autumn for the 'reason that ho did not fool any confidence that the majority of his parly oauld bo In duced to adopt a wise financial policy. It Is quito possible ho felt that they needed a moro extended practical ox- poricnco of commercial and financial disaster in order to convert thorn to sounder views of what is essential to a sound and stnblo currency and to the maintenance of the nation's credit. But the exigency has bocDino too urgent to admit of further unnecessaryadolay and the president has properly and wisely decided that congress shall moot as soon a It can bo lawfully convened. Assem bling in August it can bo organized and ready for work by September. It will hardly bo profitable to Indulge in conjectures as to what may bo done. Very likely there will , bo a prolonged contest over any financial propositions that may be submitted. The indications are that the silver purchase law will bo repealed , but whether unconditionally or not is n question. The immediate effect of the decision to call an extra session of congress in August will un doubtedly bo reassuring to the country. UX TUB POOR. Charges of carelessness and wanton neglect have boon made against Dr. Lunyon , county physician. THE BEK hits given both the complainants and Dr. Lanyon a fair and impartial bearing. Sifted down to the agreed facts wo find that the county physician has soon 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 a flagrant violation of the law. The law regulating the practice oi medicine in this state expressly forbids any person who is not a graduate of legitimate medical school from acting in the capacity of surgeon or physician It might ba unobjectionable for a medical student ta 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 quacks if ho know Ingly permits -student to play doctoi or his patients. The fact that these patients are for the most part lee ) oor to pay for medical services or drugs affords nu excuse for inch malpractice. Quito the contrary , icoplo who by reason of poverty are compelled to call upon the health olll- cors of the city and county for medical aid nro entitled to special care at the mnds of the public. Pouplo who have means can choose their own physician , jut 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 bo subject to ox- lorimonts for medical students because they arc helpless , and the fact that the county physician cannot afford to neg lect his private practice for the paltry salary ho receives from the county affords no excuse for such practices. If the county physician does not consider tiimsolf sulllciontly paid to attend to the culls made upon him by poor people , ho should resign , THK The Now York Academy of Modialno is engaged In a movement for the estab lishment of a National Board of Health , with headquarters in Washington. Other medical societies at different points hnvo become interested in the project and at an early day after the mooting of congress it bill will bo intro duced providing for its organization , and a national system of quarantine. The proposition is nn important one and in terests every community throughout the country. The present system is glar ingly dofeotlvo , and it seems feasible to ) establish a system of defense against invading epidemic that could bo admin istered without the clash of authority that HO frequently occurs anJor the pres ent method , between national and state olllelalti. The board in devised by the projectors is to oa-oporato with the state and municipal authorities in the matter of bnnitnry improvement , and is to bo pre sided over by a physician whoso tenure of olllco shall only bo terminated by death , mUdomoa'.ior or inolllclonoy. Its executive committee IB to bo chosen by the president of the United States , from the state and territorial representatives , and in addition is to have as members the Hurgeuns general of the army , nuvy , and marine hospital service. The budy of the board is to consist of u roprosonta- tlva of the medical prafojjion of each state and territory , appointed by the president for a term of not los * than six years. The baard is to nnot in Wash ington not oftener than onuo in two years , unless tmoulully aonvonod in some great onuwfcncy. The propobed bill also bostowd upon the board legislative. . judicial and executive piwors of an In dependent character subject to the ap proval of the president of the United States. As a result of this legislative power "n national sanitary cede should bo constructed , " ' n the requirements of the service may demand. It is this feature of the proposition that is Hkoly to provoke the most serious controversy. It would seem M though congress could enact all needed statutes to bring about efficient quarantine. The proposed board may bo highly ofleotlvo in devising and carrying out national sanitary measures without becoming a medical legislature , nor is it likely that such power * as are sought could bo granted in conformity with the constitution. Dr. T. Mitchell Pruddon , an eminent medical scientist , suggests a far more practical method for the organization of a national bureau of this character. Ho would have it organized in the- Treas ury department , and consist primarily of "an executive board of trained sanl- tarlan.1 under a competent head , which , in co-operation with the marine hospital Horvico , and , If desirable , with the medi cal services of the army and navy , should perform all these far-roaching functions in the Interest of the national health which the federal government alone could safely and oIToettvoly as sume. An advisory board composed of .physicians and sanitarians of experience and established repute , from different sections of the country , selected by the president and confirmed by the senate , should bo called in council by the execu tive force of the bureau in deciding upon the general scope and nature of the work to bo done at all limos , and bo ready to sustain thotn in times of danger. " There can bo no doubt of the authority of the government to assume the powers and duties here Involved without need less discussion in congroas. In otnor countries national health , departments have long been established and experi ence demonstrates their efficiency in preventing the dissemination of disease. AH INTKllXATlOtiAL GLBAllIXO lIOVilK. Among the suggestions made at the monetary congress at Chicago the plan of an international clearing house was perhaps , not tlio least worthy of atten tion , granting that it would bo practicu bio. The author of this suggestion be lieves , with many ot the ablest finan ciers of the country , that the quantity of gold in the world is not suillctont 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 bo coined. An international clearing house , whiuh is an essential part of his plan , would equalize the distri bution of the two matals 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 carrv the silver burden alone and ho holds that England , with its extensive com mercial relations in IitJia , is as much in terested in maintaining a fair silver standard as the United Statos. This plan of an international clearing house for the moro equal distribution of tho'monoy ' 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 yet , by any means , definitely settled , and it is not necessary to dismiss from consideration any proposition - 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 , ono bolng that the nations of Europe , whoso acquiescence would bo 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 metal. 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 bo fully effective , would have to have the sanction , and , perhaps , also , the supervision of the governments under some form of mutual arrangement , and it is not clear that this would bo prac ticable , at any rate so far as the United States is concerned. Whlloour govern ment may enter into nn agree ment with other governments ns to the ratio upon which gold and silver shall ba coined , that being the object in view in calling the interna tional monetary conference , wo 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 Ixs clearly distinct from the functions and powers of the general government. Still , asalready romnrkod , the idea is not altogether unworthy of attention and is referred to upon the supposition that it may interest bankers and llnunclors who ave ut this time earnestly considering every suggestion bearing upon the great financial prob lem. / A STATH I , QUOlt .UUA'UPOM' Today the state of South Carolina will engage In the liquor business and become the only legal dlsponsor of wines and liquors within that oomnitmwoalth.

Governor Tlllmnn , to whpiu the innovation is largely' due , hnv for some time been busy getting his force of constables thoroughly organized and Instructed in the secret spy work which they are 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 fooling against this feature of the now system ami It is believed that it will result In trouble in many localities , It is estimated that the assumption by the state of a monopoly ely of the liquor business will retire from $2,000,000 to $3,000,000 , now In vested In that business , which has bore- toforo been legalized by the state and will throw 5,000 persons out of employ ment. Naturally the people who will thus bo thrown out of business are dis posed to fight the law and undoubtedly its validity will bo 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 tboir 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 botwcon high license and prohibition and the operation of the unique experi ment will bo watohod with curious in terest. Governor Tlllman has expressed the opinion that the law will bo highly beneficial in one respect at least. It will enable the people of South Carolina to got a bettor quality of liquors than over before. THE damage done to the historic fields of Gettysburg is irreparable. The cutting and blasting for the now railroad tracks has been carried through the fields of the second and third days' battles , through the rocks of the Devil's Den and 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 entire character of the spot has been effaced. Probably no other civilized nation on the glqbp would permit the desecration of so , historic a field for more dollars and cents.

These do- Hvcranccs have boon pretty frequent ivntl pretty bold of late , and nro now being disa vowed by these who hro working for the political success of the socialist party In the coming general elections. They fool that such sentiments arc very Ill-timed , to aay the least , and would bo much chagrined if a chauvinistic appeal ngnlnst the sociMUts should succeed In wresting some of their Parliamentary seats away from them. The audacious resolution , for example , recently adopted by n labor union that "a Oer- man enemy of capital is a better friend than a French capltalliJ , " may bo very true , but ia not a good platform upon which to go to an Intensely ntiti-Gonnnn electorate. No moro nciviful to the socialists , Dolltically , are the per formances of the bolder spirits nt Uoubaix , whcro the municipal government Is now in their control. In their public meetings and processions in that city cries of "A bas la patriot" and "Viva la Prussol" have been honrd far lee often to Dlcmso the socialist political chiefs. Accordingly they nro n5w afllrmlnif that these unpatriotic shouts worn really uttered by neents of the pollco and that there really is no better patriot In the world , if you look nt him narrowly , than nn ' 'inter national socialist.

In describing it ono London cor respondent writes : "Tho trumpeters of the Prince's. Life guards , the outriders , coaoh- mcn and footmen , with liveries ot the Louis Qulnzo pattern in black , gold and silver , the colors of the prince nnd In blue and rod , the colors of the princess , the Montenegrin ca- vassos , in their gorgeously colored national : arb , and the squadron of Life guards , with waving plumes thcso wcro suQlcIcntly splendid , but they were outdone by the roynf equipages , not loss than ton In num ber. The most admired of all was the state coach ot the prince and princess , in black and gold , lined with ytdlow satia and. drawn by six beautiful brown horses from Milan , harnessed la rich gold bronze , and wearing plumes of ostrich feathers. In keeping with the magnificence displayed by the court , the citizens of SoQa had done their best in the way of decorations to impart to the Via Trlumphalls , extending about a milo and a quarter , u rich Oriental character. The finest eastern carpets and tapestries , stulTs of gold brocade , and poarl- emoroiderod fabrics wcro hung out from bal conies and windows or used to decorate walls. iVs to ( lowers , wagon loads had been brought Irom Franco , Austria , Italy , and southern Bulgaria. Numberless bouquets wcro pre sented to thu princess and strewn on the road , and while the royal procession was passing , the ladies who , according to the Oriental fashion of dividing the soxcs , lined one side , \\hilo the men lined the other , never ceased throwing nowcra. The enthusiasm of the women , indeed , equaled.it it did not exceed , that from the opposite side of the street , the hurrahs from the natives on either side being mingled with the hochs and cljens and evlvas from the foreign resi dents all along the route. No similar ex citement of a popular character has over before been known in the Bulgariau capital. " # * # The latest figures of the British Board of Trade for the month of May indicate a re vival in the foreign trade of the country. Ever slnco 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 18U1 and to 713,000,010 m 1892 , showing a falling oft of 30,000,000 In two years. Month by mouth the same story of decline continued to bo told , and it was not until last May that thcro was a favor able turn in the tide , Great Britain im ported from abroad 1,800,000 worth moro in May this year than in May , 18U3. Moreover , the exports of British and Irish produce last month exceeded in value these of a twelvemonth - month ago by rather moro than $33,000 , while the foreign and colonial merchandise exported was worth 3.7,1,000 moro 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 moro than i' OO.OOO.OOD sterling. This represents an improvement of fully 4 per cent on the month 01,001,031 in May , 1M)3 ) , as against 5y,411,15t in May , 189.J. Notwithstanding this Improvement , the total foreign trade for the llrst ilvo months of the present year shows a serious dectlno ns compared with the same period in 189.2. Tlio decllno amounts to over lSr , > OJOOJ sterling. There Is , therefore , a great deal of lost ground to bo made up in the remaining seven months , If the record for 1893 is to equal that of last year. * . The correspondent of the London Times at Widln says : "Tho absence of all opposi tion on the part of the Bulgarian clergy to the recent change of the constitution , which permits the successor to the throne to bo of another creed than the orthodox faith , is a remarkable and instruntlvo feature in the present situation. Had such a proposal Doeu made during the earlier years of the princi pality it could hardly have been carried out , oven by a statesman of M. Stamboloft's cour- ngo and resource. The priests were at that time the political as wall as the spiritual guides of the pooplo. But M. Stambololf has latterly on moro than ono occasion taught thu priesthood that in matters of utato thcro must bo no division of authority.

OMAHA , Juno SO. To the Editor of Tn Inn ; In your pnper thcro appears a dispatch 'rom Toticka regarding the views of J.

Ho s.-iyii 1'resldunt Cleveland nnd Ids cabinet are rnn- nlnR the nuances of the country umlnrlawa imsed by the republicans , and to shift the ro- ipnnslhlflly without n single net of legislation by the ilutmH'rallcroiiRrcss U iilmird. To his notion , 1'rosldnnt Clovolnnd Is n rflpubllcnn In nil Intents and purposes , snvo his tnrltT Ideas , nnd , so far , ho has .shown hltmolf to lie u pretty good republican on that question. Now I do not presume to say , or oven Inti mate , that I am nblo Intellectually to mean- tire swonls with a man of Mr. IngallV cali ber , but It seems to mo that this should not go unanswered. T/ot mo aslc why the prosperity that attended the roimbllrnn administration to Its clososhould degcncrntn Into n llnandnl panic within sixty days of. the aoeoision of democracy to wwer. Iot me nsk again , what are the democrats thora forVhy ! don't the great stuffed prophet rail congress topothrr nnd do .somethingt Will Mr. Ingalls pretend to any the dropping of the gold reserve below the JIOO- 000,000 limit was duo lo republican legisla tion , nnd , If M , why did not Cleveland pmllt by the republican example nml prevent this thing , which has been ono of the greatest , if not the greatest , factor In destroying contldonco among capitalists. The nnswer is plain. Mr. Carllnln was honc.it enough to Hay that Issuing bonds to hold up the reserve - servo would hurt the pirty. In other words they would ruin the commercial interests of the country rather than hurt the party. 1 bollovo the voters of the country will show their disapproval nf this , another of thu series nf democratic blunders , at the next national election. The assertion that Clovolnnd Is a prottj good republican induces mo to add that on the same line of reasoning Mr. Ingnll.s Isnlsc n pretty good democrat. It occurs to me that Iho cx-sonator has his wo'ttbor oyn on the democratic camp.

Evidence has been strong enough to lead ono to doubt strict fairness nmonq the contestants. Reports have been circu lated that certain riders availed tuomsolvoi of carriages between stations. If this b true , any value which might have been at tucbed to the experiment Is rendered useless Minneapolis Times : But when the ride la considered it seems a great performance for the men who actually rode the l.UDU or mora miles in fourteen days. That means ver.v lltllo rest for man or beast. It moans in cessant straining of the physical machlnor.u without the adequate supply of food fuel during the uerfornmnce. It means doggud determination and patient endurance and it shows the strong and enduring stuff ol which the men of the west nro mado. Chicago Herald : John Berry of Chadron Nob. , cowboy , arrived in town yesterday morning after a little horseback : ride of 1OIO miles , accomplished in some thirteen days and sixteen hours. Mr. Berry was somewhat fatigued , but his woarmess was nothing compared to the Joy ho felt at being the first of the long distance riders to roach the finishing post. Thcro is some talk of a protest against his claim on ono ground or another , but whether ho gets the prize or not ho ut least has the satisfaction of know ing that the general public , who care nothing about the technical details of the contest , will concede to him the honor ot winning. This should be glory enough , oven if ono oC his competitors receives the put-so , nnd Mr. Uorry may return to the Nebraska pralria. * with the proud consciousness that ho is tha champion long distance rider of the west.
