COMPLIMENTING THE ENEMY.

The Eureka Leader thus compliments the
adversary: The Democratic party has done
itself great honor in the past eight weeks
The sentiments uttered by Democrats the
country over have been most honorable
True it was that no man was ever more vilely
traduced by that party than was James A
Garfield during the last campaign, but ample
atonement has been: made r. and made! too,
while Garfield yet lived. The ISLANDERS of the
campaign were the vaporings of party pas
sion the sentiments of the past eight weeks
were the heartfelt utterances OF honorable
men. They give new meaning to Ameri-
can citizenship, and inspire in every heart an
increased pride of country. 1t will be writ
ten that while Garfield yet lived the base
ISLANDERS against him were trodden into the
mire by the Democratic party. 1t is an in,
stance of more than poetic justice. All honor
to the men who have had the heart and spirit
to write this noble chapter of national history.
They are Democrats, but before and beyond
that they are American citizens proud of their
country and moved to adherence by the foul
assault on Its dignity and honor. Let this
great and splendid action of the Democratic
party never be forgotten. The few foul ut
terances and base insinuattions made come
from men who are unworthy the name of
Democrats and Of association with that party.
The country has long since made up it's
mind that DIR. Agnew is the brightest and
most skillful of the Presidents surgeons.
His opinion therefore is entitled to great
nr Of iafo oI
by Philadelphia paper. He is made to say
that recent examination resulted in show
ing that the wound, in itself, is of far less
serious nature than was for long time sup
posed; and further, it has been definitely as
certaiDed that the cavities of the chest and
abdomen were noL entered and, still fur
Their, the peritoneal membrane was not
pierced, nor was the liver torn. DIR. Agnew
holds that the precise location Of the ball is
just inside the crest of the lllum-at the up
per limit, therefore, of iliac-and buried in
the fibres of the muscles there. Further on
the doctor seems to half admit that mistake
was made in not going for the ball imme-
diately after the shooting, when the patient
had abundant strength and vitality TO with
stand the operation. Possibly if the ball had
been removed at once the President would
now be on his feet.
The following story is not new, but it is
just as good as it ever was:
When Lincoln was praciicing in the old
courthouse, tall slim lawyer,
wearing very short coat, slid along on the
seat to be nearer the advocate addressing the
jury. A protruding nail tore the seat of the
lawyers pantaloons. Obliged to follow his
opponent Immediately, there was no time to
sew up the rent in the garment. A legal wag
present wrote a subscription paper: "We,
the undersigned, agree to pay the sums set
opposite our several names, for the purpose
of purchasing Brother Brown new pair of
Several Of the lawyers put
down sums ranging from fifty cents to ten
cents. The paper was presented to Lincoln,
who sat opposite the advocate, who, bending
over in gesticuating, made quite an ex posure.
Lincoln took out his pencil and wrote upon
the paper ~ have nothing to contribute to !

The historians of the Northwest have inst
decided that the word Milwaukee is Pot
for "Council ground" Historians
and manw others in the East, says the Phil |
adelphia Times, have all along thought that
he word meant pretty good kind of beer.
The people of the country are digusted over
he revelations that the Leo Hartman who ia I
n New York is a fraud. Not the dynamite
lend at all. Ifsuch man was loafing about
his office we should prefer the bogus to the
genuine.
