William Prather, of the Ashley County
(Ark) Times, is pretty severe on the
medical fraternity. Hear what he says
of them:
" There is an average of % doctors for
each county i'll our state, and the metii-
cal colleges are still grinding them out
by the hundreds. This speaks a good
deal for the diffusion OF medical knowl-
edge, but we don't know that it bodies
any, good to the people. One doctor
to the patient, they say, makes it dan
gerous, two, extra hazardous, and three
positively fatal. So that when the me-
dlclne men grow so numerous, that
three OF four will be called in at a time,
we may look for II rapid decrease in our
populatiOn.n

Hurr;asl for Cuba and the
CUbanS!

A Washington dispatch to the n. O.
Times says:
" From information which has been
received at the state Department., it
would seem that the new revolution
which General Garcia is to command is
really most formidable one. Not only
are the officers connected with it men
of experience, but the whole colored
population is directly interested, so they
believe it is a war for their complete
emancipation. 1t promises to give S pain
great trouble
The long tyranny and oppression ex-
ercised by Spain over Cuba must sooner
or latter come to an end. Now seems
to be the auspicious time for the Cuban
patriots to strike telling blow in behalf
of their liberty and independence, for
never has Spain been more aggressive,
merciless and exacting in her attitude
and demands towards Cuba than she is
to-day.

sympathizer" No man struck the South
harder blows or did it in more manly
fashion. Whilst he is in every sense of the
word Democrat, he is not what might be
termed a politician. He possesses to great
degree those other certain great qualities of
mind and heart which are certain TO bring
popular strength, without regard to his pro-
fession, one way or the other-that is, lie is
honest, brave, sagacious, and imbued with a
love of law, and his enemies even cannot
deny him these great qualities, which have
been most fully exemplified in his career.
He was one of the genuine heroes of the
Union army, and when the war was over
and the work of reconstruction began he at
once demonstrated by his manly acts that
he had heart to feel for his vanqushed
countrymen and mind to appreciate the
value of civil liberty. With such a record,
possessing such essentials, he is most emf
nently qualified for the Office, and must have
great weight with the people"

A Thrilling Tragedy.

A Toronto, Ont, dispatch of recent date
says Yesterday morning the great Lambton
Mills tragedy was concluded by the suicide
in his cell of Robert DeCoursier, the fratri-
eide. He was to have been hanged to-day
and this last act of the terrible drama has
produced a profound sensation.
Robert and Edward DeCoursier were broth
ers, and lived together on farm at Lambton
Mills, near here. Both were handsome and
popular. Robert was the finer looking of the
two-over six feet high, with wavy auburn
hair, heavy mustache, noble countenance
and commanding presence. The brothers dis
agreed about money matters and separated,
Robert removing to a distant town, leaving
Miss Mary Mills, the belle of the country
side, with promise that he would soon re-
turn and make her his bride. Then Edward
began the deviish work which ended in the
disgrace of the lady and the death of himself
and brother. So deep-roOted was his hatred
of his brother that by forged letters, I'M
blushing lies and protestations Of love Ed
ward persuaded Miss Mills to forsake his
brother and engage herself to him. He Sc
duced her and shortly before her confinement,
when her shame was generally known, he
wrote to his brother Robert to come home
and he could have his girl if he wanted her.
Robert suspected nothing, and having been
deeply enamored of Miss Mills returned at
once, only to find her in the agonies of child
birth, while the satanic brother was Boosting
on the streets that he had got even with Bob.
On the same day he caused an execution to
be served on Roberts property for an alleged
debt.
Robert, crazed with rage and shame, rush
ed TO the village drug store, bought arsenic
and, borrowing a double-barreled shotgun,
started towards his brothers wagon factory
Meeting bis brother he empted both loads
into his body, took the poison himself, ran
into the shop, closed the the door and set fire
TO the shavings, hoping 10 burn himself and
the premises. He was promptly rescued,
though badly burned, and an antidote given
which saved his life. Edward never breathed
after being shot. At Roberts trial in this
city he was convicted of murder and SEN
fenced 10 death. Every effort was made to
have the sentence committed, but in vain.
Petitions signed by thousands were sent to
the minister Of justice; clergymen implored
Princess Louise to intercede and personally
begged the minister Of justice TO be merciful.
Monday the prisoner who had been very SAN
guine, was informed that the last hope had
vanished. He was terribly shocked, but
seemed TO become resigned Special guards
have been over him ever since his condemna-
ton to prevent suicide, but yesterday he
drank from pitcher and fell dead-poisoned
with prusc acid. How he got it is mys-
tery,

THE POST or HONOR.

1t cannot be denied that the Presidency
of forty millions of people, no matter how
it may have been abused by unworthy per-
sons, is still a position of great honor and a
source of considerable emoument
No sincere supporter of the government,
whether he live in the North or South-no
citizen of the country, whether he be Dem
ocrat or a Republican, who respects free in
situations and believes, as he should, that he
shares the disgrace as well as the glory of
his country, desires that this high office be
brought any lower in public estimation than
the point that it has already reached, but
proud condition, when no man with the
slightest stain resting upon his private or
public character dare approach.
For these grave reasons, patriotic Ameri-
can citizens, North and South can but re-
greet and deplore the terrible charges that
are made against Mr.. Garfield, the man
nominated by the Chicago convention for
President. The Democrats who prosecute
these damaging charges do so more in sor-
row than in anger, and are instigated thereto
in no slight degree by desire to prevent the
degradation that has befaller the Presidency
from reaching the degree of ignomy that
would attach to it were convicted thief
and perjurer to assume it, and especially
when that criminals guilt was so plain that
an investigating committee of his own per-
sonal and political friends had to convict
him.
What the people want is an honest adj
ministration and the honor and dignity OF
the exalted office restored, which cannot be
accomplished by the election of Mr.. Gar

The action OF the Democratic National
committee in requiring each of the Tam
many delegates to pledge his support to the
ticket, however constituted, before the claims
OF Tammany could receive any considera-
ton, was piece of wholesome discipline
admirably administered. No man, in any
party, has right to go into and take part
in convention with the purpose of bal
loting, if his views, feelings or prejudices are
not consulted. 1t is bad faith in any man
TO bolt, under such circumstances, and no
party can afford TO tolerate such a guerrilla
practise, The dose must have been unpala-
table to the Tammany delegates, but it was
the right sort of medication

Tobacco Inspectors.

Court of Appeals of Maryland has de-
cided that the plaintiff contestants for the
positions in the tobacco warehouses are en-
titled TO their seats. The issue which this
case grew out of, is that the appointment
and confirmation were made after the legiti-
mate time had expired. The Courts opin-
ion in brief is as follows:
1.-THE court says that the main and leading
purposes were to limit the time within which
the Governor should make his nominations to
the Senate, and 10 make uniform the term
OF office for the officers 10 be nominated,
and the particular day for the commence
ment of the term was but incidental to
this last mentioned primary purpose. The
term was declared to be two years, and
the appointments are required TO be made
biennially during the regular sessions of
each Legislature. 1t was manifestly the
purpose of the trainers of the constitution
that the term of office should commence and
terminate with reference to the end of each
regular biennial session of the Legislature.
1t was certainly never contemplated that the
term should begin or terminate, as the de-
PENDANT contends, at a time intervening be-
tween the regular sessions of the Legislature.
Indeed, there is no clause or provision in the
nance to the idea that the term could SO COM
mence and terminate. On the contrary, it
would contravene the whole scheme and spirit
of the instrument. The nomination and con-
firmati0n Of the plaintiff, therefore, was in
tended for the term of Office commencing with
the first Monday in March, 1880. To adopt the
construction contended for by the defendant
several anomalous results would be produced,
which never could have been contemplated by
the authors OF the constitution, i. e., a term
of three years, when the term is declared TO
be two years; and, in ease of death of in
cumbent, new appointee could not enter upon
his duty until the first Monday in March fol-
lowing. As the year 1880 is year when
there is no regular session Of the Legislature,
the Governor would have to appoint year
in advance, for which there is no warrant in
any part of the constitution. The court must
look to the constitution as whole, and adopt
such construction of its parts az will maintain
in force and harmonious operation the main
and leading provisions Of the instrument"
