McCORMICK has the following to say of the American Medical Association, in one of our exchange: “There are many trusts nowadays, but the medical trust is the most dangerous, because it is the most far-reaching and most tyrannical of any trust on carth, It not only reaches deep down into the pockets of the masses, be they rich or poor, but it trifles with human health and happiness, and even human life and personal liberty. “This professional trust is determined to crush out all competition; that is, all other practitioners except their own. This trust is determined to make it unlawful to be born, of be sick, or dic, without tipping the hat and opening the purse to one of We cannot even bury our friends with- out consent of a medical health officer, and he ignores certificates from all but his own clan, ‘This trust strikes directly at the liberties of the people; for it says, in unmistakable language, the people must hire them at their prices whether they wish to oF not.” The Army Cat eneral Merritt sailed from San 0 he asked the Government authori ties for three cats to take to Manila. Probably the trio of American felines are now teaching Yankee habits to their misguided fellows of the islands, for it was Major-General Merritt’s intention to send them ashore when he landed. ‘The cats came from the commissary depot on JessieStreet, San Francisco. It is not generally known that the Government 's annually for the maintenance of cats, but the accounts of the United States depot commissaries prove it. In every store- house there are from one to five of the animals, and their rations are provided as carefully and regularly as those of any of the soldiers. ‘They are not fed on scraps nor are their individual tastes disregarded, as are those of the enlisted men, but they are allotted so many pounds of choice beef or any other delicacy their palates may desire. Of course, they may have as much game as they wish, and the storchouses seldom fail to furnish an un- limited supply of rats and mice. ‘That the cats save | many times their cost of support is well known, as | such supplies as crackers, cheese, bacon, flour and meal are much sought after by the rodents. All men-of-war carry cats. Their usefulness is never more apparent than on shipboard., The writer was crossing from Antwerp to New York on the steamship Southwark when he was awakened by the sudden stopping of the ship, an occurrence which happening in mid-ocean generally means something serious. The passengers rushed on deck, half clad, and were disgusted to learn that a rat having crawled into the cylinder had caused the halt. Such an accident on a man-of-war in time of actioa might be fearfully paid for, and an active cat is its only preventive.—San Francisco Chronicle Good Sense Whether Heeded or Not HERE is no publication more independent than of New York. Though printed in the Metropolis, no paper outside of Gotham is more merciless in assailing the faults and follies of the inhabitants of that great city. LE fairly vivisects the frenzied financiers, the pampered special in- terests and the idle rich. It hits the demagogues just as hard, too. The editorials, which are said to be written by Mr. E. S. Martin, are characterized by peculiar case of style, freedom from prejudice and | clearness of judgment.—The Norfolk Landmark How fo Serv ugar to walt taste, Ing and tonle e! 14 better war. itaspoontol of ABO’ Gives exquisite flavor and adds greatly to the appetiz- cffect of the frult.
