Monro Should Have a HoaptuL j
.There is a movement on foot look
ing to the establishment of a hospital
in Monroe. This is ery much need
ed, and it is to be hoped that the
project may come to full fruition. A
modest institution of this kind would
not be expensive. The promoters
feel that it could be sustained, so far
as running exense are concerned,
if a suiUble building could be se
cured. Every year more and more
patients are seut to hospitals by prac
ticing physicians. This has become
a necessity in all cases where there
is serious illness that requires care-
fill and scientific nursing to effect
cures, to say nothing of surgical
treatment, in which hospital treat
ment is becoming wholly necessary
Auv one who reads the local papers
will readily recall the number of
cases that are constantly going out
of this county to hospitals elsewhere,
and the equally as great a number,
it not indeed more cases where, such
treatment is as necessary, but the
patients are unable for lack of means
to take it. 1 here is no reason wny
a community like this should suffer
itself to co without an institution
This is the day when the labor
unions of the country are making
hay. if they are able in many cases
to do what the New York Commer
cial says they have done for the St
Louis Fair. That paper says that
Almost since the first shovelful of
earth was thrown up on the equa
tion grounds, every nook and corner
of the place, every department of con
structive activity have been under
the complete and alwolute domina
tion of unionism. Not wily has the
exposition company felt the blight
of this control from the very begin
ning but everv contractor and sub
contractor, even tlie Fuited States
government itself, have had to bend
their necks to the yoke of organued
labor."
And the Commercial continues:
Strikes on the exposition grounds
have been so numerous iu the past
three years that the count of them
was lost kng aga One employer of
plumbers, for instance, has had about
one hundred aud fifty strikes to eon
tend with, and all of them started on
the most triiiiug and flimsy pretexts.
Wages meantime have jumped from
Si ail to So tor an eiuni .tour ua
One foreman of the modelers in staff
is paid $u 60 for an eight-hour day,
with double tune for overtime and

and happiness of humanity and the
amelioration of suffering. Other
towns of like size are building them
rijjlit along and receiving untold
blessings.
The institution in contemplation
for Monroe would also be a training
school for nurses, at which there
would always be undergraduate nur
ses to be stmt out iu the town and
county whenever their services were
demanded. Ik-side this, there could
no doubt be built up a good foreign
patronage from patients who desired
to receive the benefit of the artesian
water. There is an ample field, an
urgent necessity, lt us have a hos
pital. Tlie quarrel In-tween Judge Pee
bles and the Uoln-son lawyers is yet
in full vigor. When the case came
up last week, Judge Peebles backed
water far enough to grant the defend
ants' request that the case be tried
liefore another judge, a thing he at
first refused. It is now to come up
on June fourteenth before Judge
Brown. Meanwhile, two or three
...,.uutii4u ii rdiii sitie. A goou
many of these relate to the charge
that tlie judge has been drunk, a
great many persons swearing that
they had seen him in such condition,
and one hotel man asserting that he
found fourteen quart bottles in a
room w hich the judge had just va
cated, another saying that he had
seen I half gallon jugs on the judge's
m.uiU-l. Tlie judge ordered three
men, one of them a lawyer of Clin
ton, to go to jail thirty days and pay
a line of for contempt in swear
ing that he was drunk. The sen-b-nce
has not yet been executed, and
a light against it will probably bring
on a long suit. With these affida
vits and the case In-fore another
judge, Judge Peebles' case does not
look as hoH'ful as it did when he
was sitting on it himself with three
lawyers appearing before him iu his
own behalf.
We said last week that Mr. Bryan
had not indicated whether he would
support tlie nominee of the St. Ijouis
convention whether or no, but he has
since said, in a letter to a friend, and
in tlie following unmistakable terms:
"While a Iiemocrat presumes that
his convention will write a platform
and nominate a ticket that he can
conscientiously support, it is not a
conclusive presumption, and I do not
lielieve that any one ought to be
asked, or exjiected to say that, no
matter what a convention does, he
will support the ticket. For that rea
son I defer until the convention has
acted a decision upon the course
that I will pursue."
Mr. ltryan goes on to say that if
any other rule than this be applied,
campaigns would be useless, for the
reason that no votes could be changed,
and one party could never be put
out and another one put in. For our
part, we are glad that Mr. Bryan has
the courage to say it.
The most real war that the world
has seen for some time is undoubt
edly going on now between Russia
and Japan, a war in which well
matched foes meet each other with
all the modern means of destruction
that man's ingenuity has yet devised.
And coupled with these, each side is
armed with an ancient hate and a
bloodthirstinesi that cannot be satis
fied easily. Verily, there is becom
ing a great cheapening of human life
in the "FarEast.
In their attack upon Port Arthur,
the Japanese are pursuing the same
plana that they did in 1894 when
that place was taken by them from
the Chinese. 'Then Russia, abetted
by the other powers, robbed Japan
of it Now the plucky little men
will take it from the robber. Glorious
little fellows!
