. complete answer to all arguments In
support Of It, by calling 1t . com.
promise. It Was pointed out in the
Presidents message, aud very con
vincingly in Senator Conkling's argu.
ment, that the was not prop
erly designated by that name. But
suppose II had been? How long is it
since IL became . shame n . scandal
in this country tor political parties to
settle by compromise differences other.
wise irreconcilablef Since when did
the word "compromlse" become . re
proachf Is not compromise the cor
ner-stone Of our political fabric, and Is
not the spirit Of compromise an essen
tisl element Of every republican sys.
TENT From one end to the other OF
our political history we are stepped in
tho atmosphere OF compromise. Our
Constitution IL but . series Of com
promises. And this flows from the
nature of the case. Party divisions oi
. people result in extremely different
views Of every great case that arises,
and while the division Is at all equal
one party cannot govern in absolute
defiance Of tho other, and cannot pass
any measure Of importance save by
the consent Of the other, and to obtain
this 1t must yield some portion of its
extreme views. Compromises, there
fore, 80 far from being scandalous, are
commonly guarantees against the
prevalence Of extreme and therefore
dangerous councils. They have hith.
erto been regarded in constitutional
countries as evidences OF wisdom and
moderation in politics.

BLUNT BUT TlI UE.

There is said to be young man in
the Missouri peDitentiary whose pa
rents at their death, left him fortune
of $4,000. There is where his pa
rents made fatal mistake. If they
had taken the precaution to invest that
sum in q small dog and shot him, and
then simply lent the young man a
jack-plane or wood-saw, with print
ed instructions how to use it, the
chances are that instead OF being in
the penitentiary, he would to-day have
been gradually but surely working his
way up to q handsome competency
and an honorable old age. But ever
since the days of Adam and Eve, pa
rents have made 1t point to toll and
struggle all their lives in order to re-
alize-a sufficient sum of money to pur-
chase, when they are dead and gone,

A SPECIFIC FOR DIPHTHEAIA.

A SPECIFIC FOR DIPHTHEAIA.
In many parts of the country diph-
iberia has broken out and assumed
somewhat alarming proportions. The
Springfield Republican, in comment.
ing on the fact, calls attention to some
recent remedies which have entirely
divested this fearful disease of its ter
rors, if applied in the errly stages.
Among these the most simple and ef-
fective ia chlorine water diluted with
the addition of from two to four times
the volume of water. A well.known
physician of that city, it asserts, has
used this specific exclusively for fif-
teen years with complete success, ,hav-
ing in that period repeatedly eradicat-
the disease in localities where all 9th.
er remedies utterly failed. Previous
to the adoption OF this method he lost,
on an average, one half of the cases
which came to him, but during the
period he has employed the above
remedy failure to cure is extreme
ly rare. This is certainly simple
remedy, and the assurance of the exist
ence of an effective remedy against the
ravages of this frightful scourge will
be gladly welcomed.

THE DOCTOR,s REWARD.

Justice Comstock's Office at Detroit
had such q hoEelike air that the re-

hear an anecdote. It did not COM

q poor hut honest baker, who always
put sixteen ounces of stock into his
pound loaves,' but it started off as fol-
lows: Once there was we'll to do
Detroiter who ate too much succotash
for dinner. Collie seized him and put
him TO bed, and so frightened was the
man that he called out to the doctor :
..sSave me, Doctor, and I'll give you
a check for thousand dollars!
The doctor gave him a remedy that
soon eased him. and he called out:
Keep at it, Doctor, and I'll give
you a check for five hundred dollars y
In half an hour more he was able to
sit up, and he calmly remarked:
Doctor, 1 feel like giving you fifty
dollar BILL
When the doctor was ready to go the
sick man was up and dressed, and he
followed the physician to the door and
said:
Say, Doc. send in your bill the first
of the month";
When six months had been gathered
to times bosom the doctor sent in a
bill amounting to five dollars. He was
pressed to cut it down TO three, and
after so doing he sued it, got judgment
and the patient put in a stay of execn-
ton.
