Can't you feel the public pulse on
the political situation? was the sugges-
ton that we received as soon as we put
in an appearance at the Office yester-
day morning. With us, to hear is to
obey; SO, armed with our nole book
and Faber, We started ont and selected
our frs, victim in the person of DIR. b.
What the Doctor does not know about
politics is not worth mentioning, but
he seemed to he singulariy reticent on
this OCCASION. We insinuatingly asked
him about the hygiene of the town,
and be replied that it was distressingly
healthy, so much 80 that he had not
earned a fee for a week, and if it were
not hat the women, God bless them,

forts to multiply and ~replenish." he
believed he would give up practice.
He incidenIly mentioned that warm
weather and the big ditch might help
the profession out, and he saw incipi-
ent fever in the slums and mud holes
on Main street, but lie was fearful that
the citizens would suppress these nui-
sances and thus curtail his income.
We led him gradually away from these
topics and finally asked him what he
thought Of Hayes Southern policy.
1t was like touching off a powder

game and now they are pulling two
cards from the box and raking in the
chips on every turn. Talk about "A
fraudulent President! l agree with
you, my boy; he's a first-class fraud.
With Hampton Governor of South
Carolina, and Nichols having a dead
thing on the Legislature in Louisiana,
l would like to know what more the
Democracy could ask and what better
they could have done had Tiiden got
with the presidency. And to
think that l have shouted myself
hoarse at political gatherings; neglected
my business to attend conventions;
danced at inauguration balls, and
drank bad whisky with doubtful
voters; and for what, why to see every
trick trumped by the unterrified. l tell
you, they are high, low, jack, pedro

We never fully grasped the
ca liabilities of the English language in
this direction until we heard the coun-
sellor turn loose. 1t would have taken
a score OF shorthand reporters to have
kept up with his remarks, but we
gathered the idea that he was not salts
fed and incontinently got out Of the
office for fear that his indignation
would lead him to commit some indis-

We met Captain Hubbard at the foot
of the stairway and learned from him
