A Reported Antidote for Rabies.

Whether influenced by the warm weather
or not, we do not pretend to say, but the
fact il obvious that within the past week
there has been an unusual outbreak of n.y.
not les than six cases being reported At
different points since Monday. It Is not
apparent that medical science has made anY
recent progress in treating this terrible NAL
ady. though one hears less now than former
ly OF the theory 30 stoutly advanced by cer-
tain doctors that there Is really no such
specific disease as hydrophobia- The only
authentic record of succesaful treatment Of
hydrophobia within our knowledge dates a.
far back Is 1913. In that year DR.. Maras
chetti, an eminent Italian surgeon attached
TO the hospital at Moscow. was travelling in
the Ukraine, and was called to attend Is

and in his presence the peasant gave the
patients large draughts OF q
broom which grows on the steppes near the
Ural mountains. Twice day he examined
the tongues Of the sufferers, and when he
found on their undersurfaces little knobs or
sacs, which he said contained the poison

which medical authorities give. How much

TKE Illinois Legislature is now wrestling
with the pswn-brokerage business. The
bill now before the Legislature provides,
says the Chicago Times, that the rate of in
terest charged by pawnbrokers upon loans
or pledges deposited shall not exceed 8 per
cent per month. The lawful limitof the
rate of interest In Illinois Is 10 per cent,
and the Legislature proposes to reduce it to
per cent. per annum. It would seem,
therefore, that the money dealers who make
loans at the sign of the three gilt balls might
be content with interest at the rate OF SO per
cent per annuru. 1t is fully three times as
much q the money could command in any
legitimate business. 1t is more than in any
business, legitimate or speculative, can be
paid, except to insure certain rum. 1t is the
price which only poverty reduced to the last
desperate extremity will pay or engage to
pay. Three per cent month can hardly
be styled interest upon loans. 1t is interest
upon hunger, want, sickness, misery. Three
per cent. q month would seem nearer blood
money than interest. But the pawnbrok-
ers, it seems, are not content with per
cent per month on their loans, which are
seldom If ever made to the amount of one
half the auction value of the property
pawned, and therefore are fully secured.
They are not satisfied with per cent. per
month interest on loans 30 effectually Sc
cured and SO easily realized upon. because, it
seems, they are in the habit of getting 10 per
cent. month, and even yet higher rates.
The pawnbrokers, we are told, are raising
large amount of money, and will visit
Springfield for the purpose of protecting
their interests which a law allowing per
cent. seriously jeopardizes.

DECORATION DAY will not be observed any
where this year with the zest and spirit of its
early times. In most places 1t will not be OBJ
served at all, and in few cities where the
outward form VIII be observed the real pur-
pose will easily appear to be to give some dis
tnguished politician a chance to make a
speech. Our object in asking its general
dfscontincance is not to discourage the pure
and patriotic sentiment in which 1T had its
origin, but to prevent what was once a beau
tiful ceremony from being further perverted
to personal and political ends. The poetry
of Decoration Day is gone, and its continued
direction of hollow mockery.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.
The trouble about Decoration Days has
been, not that there was any lack of gratitude
on the part of the living for the vic
tories achieved by the dead, or for the
devotion to the cause for which
they gave up their lives, but
because the management OF decoration cere-
mon les has fallen into the hands of . set OF
fanstical blatherskites who, disregarding all
of the harmonizing influences of such eere-
monies, have labored to make them subserve
some low partisan purpose, and not content

The working people of New York are ex
penencing good deal of trouble by the
interference of various committees, which
are clothed with some sort OF authority, by
which the labor of others is regulated. In
certain wages tor certain number of days,
and then they are notified to quit without
regard to their necessities. The New York
Commercial Bulletin remarks that 1T was in
formed ton good authority that many of the
longshoremen, who have been going about
idle on the Nhrves during the past fort
night, would be glad to return to work at the
steamship companies terms, but for the
arbitrary DEGREES of similar commit
tee;' and there are evidences of like
species of dictatioR. and terrorism at Pitts
burg, where the committed is busy organ
izing another strike among the iron and
steel industries. When such things are
possible, one may well ask. Is it not about
time we had another emancipation proc
lamation? There never WAS in this coun-
try, worse system of slavery than this. In

work of this interference with the freedom
of industry, and the dictation of one set of
men over other men,"
In these times when work is scare and
thousands are idle it occurs to us that such
committees as the Bulletin refers to had
better be disbanded, and the sooner
the better. Let US have free labor
that is to say let men work If they can get

TIE SILVER BILL.

Notwithstanding the Warner silver bill
has been resolutely opposed BY Republicans
and Shylocks, in and out of Congress, at
every step and stage of its progress. 1t has
at last passed the House of Representatives,
and is now before the people for their con-
sideration. The bill contains many valuable
features, and, should it become law, will
contribute immensely to the business well
fare of the country. The bill places silver
coin in its rightful position in the financial
and business affairs Of the country. tef-
fectually does away with John Shermau's
discretionary powers, with regard to the cir
culation of standard and silver dollars, by
requiring the secretary of the
treasury to pay them out in
liquidation of all kinds OF
money obligations against the Govern
ment the same as gold. This requirement
will at once relieve Mr.. Sherman OF his sill
yer coin, and materially increase the amount
of money in circulation. We are told. Is an
objection to the silver bill, that the silver
coin in the treasury, Notwithstanding the
fact that silver dollars have been remone-
tized, will not bulge, and that 'every day
the pile of Whitehead lies gathers weight. and
fills q larger space in the vaults Of the de-
psrtment." The following figures indicate
the amount of silver dollars held by the
treasury on the LIST of each month in the
present year. The second column gives the

Boston Herald, "there was an increase of
Sc, 997, 225. The mint is obliged to turn out
minimum supply of $1,000 900 in each
month. Thus far this year the people have
been willing to take, on the average, no
more than $259, 694 per month. The secre-
tary of the treasury, for all his efforts. and
sorely against his will, has been forced to
add the misunderstanding $1,749, BOG per
month-to his already excessive and burden
some stock OF overvalued and dangerous dol
lars. 1t will be seen that the monthly addition
is amounting steadily to higher figures.
Yet, If it should continue only at the aver.
age established since January, it would pro-
duce the ponderous accumulation OF %, 99l,-
672 silver dollars in the year."
Everybody knows that John Sherman has
made no effort at all to put the silver dol
lars in circulation. His policy has been to
hord what the Herald Is pleased to call
white faced lies" ald thereby make the
silver legislation as odious as possible.
The treasury department has continuously
played into the hands Of the Shylocks, and
in every instance its discretionary power has
been exercised in their interest and against
the welfare OF the people. Under the
Warner bill, this is all changed, and the
secretary of the treasury Is required to pay
out standard silver dollars on all Govern
ment obligations the same as gold. By car
rylng out this provision there will be no
"ponderous accumulations'' of silver IN the
treasury. The bill provides that the charges
for coming gold and silver bullion shall be

bullion in New York City and the
legal tender value OF coin, and this provis
ion, as it enables the Government to realize
the profits of coming. will, we conclude. in
sure the approval of Hayes. The bill pro-
vides for issuing bullion certificates of not
less than So each, at the discretion of the
deposition, and these certificates are made .
legal tender for all Government dues, in
Guiding duties on imports. This provision
will enable the business of the
country to at once utilize all the gold and
silver bullion produced, and can not fail
to vitalize every department of commerce
and industry. It should be remembered
that this bill. In favor OF "honest money!
30 much talked against by Republicans and
Shylocks, does not contemplate wild infs-
ton nor reputation. Its passage by the
House is another evidence to the people that
the Democratic party is laboring with all the
means at its command to remove the bust.

HYDROPHOBIA.
Particulars Of the Case of Mrs. Foss Of
Wilton.

A correspondent of the Pennington Chron-
icle gives some further particulars of the sup
posed hydrophobia case in Wilton, which was
referred to in our columns several days ago.
Mrs. Foss the victim of the terrible disease,
was bitten on her hand some two years ago
while living at Augusta, by dog belonging to
the family. At the time the dog manifested
no very marked signs of madness, but was If
ritable and snappish. He was sent away after
biting Mrs. Foss, and subsequently bit two
persons when he was killed Nothing was
thought of the bite at the time and it had been
forgotten until Mrs Foss began to show symp-
toms OF hydrophobia. When first taken sick,
which was at the first Of last week, no one sus-
pected the disease. Soon, however, she began
to show alarming symptoms and Dr. F. L..
Mcintosh thought he saw indications of hy-
drophobia, but as the family could not remem-
Der that she had ever been bitten by rabid
dog he felt some hesitation in pronouncing the
disease hydrophobia, and awaited further de-
velopments A little past midnight Thursday
night, however, Mrs. Foss became violently
mad, barking furiously, attempting to bite,
swapping at every thing, scratching and so far
as possible under restraint, posturing as a dog
her features, especially the lips and teeth, pre-
senting an inhuman appearance. Consterna-
ton reigned in the house, the barking was
heard at considerable distance and the COM
munity was stricken with horror. Few per-
sons dared approach the house, and fewer still
could be induced to go into the room to render
assistance. AT times water, light or any sud-
den sound would excite paroxysins a drop of
water sometimes proving sufficient to cause
violent spasms. AT times Mrs. Foss realized
her condition and conversed nationally with
her relations but these lucid intervals were of
brief duration. Tuesday she was very low,
but since then there has been, it is thought,
some slight improvement and the physicians
are not entirely without hope.
