Some weeks before the Buffalo ticket was nomi-
mated it was charged by reputable organ of his
own party that Mr.. Maxwell, shortly after his
election to the office of Treasurer, had proposed to
Batavia gentleman to enter into an arrangement
by which, the interest on the State funds having
been fixed as low possible those funds should be
loaned out at the highest possible rate and the diff
ference divided between them. The campaign
closes with the charge still standing. 1t has never
been either retracted or modified, while the entire
trustwOrthiness of the Batavia gentleman who
made the chargeis certified to by large number of
tho most prominent citizens of that place. Mr..
Maxwellis candidate for reelection. He is good
man to leave at home.

That was indeed an unfortunate sermon which
the Rev. Mr.. Brand preached in Oberlin, Ohio,
one Sunday in 1882. Not only has it brought
down a libel suit on his head it appears
that the thunder which he directed against the
unfortunate druggist who now sues him was
not Mr.. Brands own thunder, but was stolen
from the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher. See the
Plymouth pastors " Lectures to Young Men,"
page 251, of volume published in 1851. AS

plagiarism will hardly offset the alleged libel

oner safely locked up. But, sad to say, they
did not think night watchman in the jail was
necessary even when a notorious burglar, under
heavy sentence, was confined there. So yes
terday morning the Sheriff found that his jail
bird had flown. The 81 900 offered for the
fellows recapture would have paid night
watchman for about two years.
Here is a chance for loyal Republicans to
bripg to glorious close what is practically the
last day of the canvass. A meeting will be
held this evening at Cooper Institute, under the
auspices of the State Committee, at which the
Hon. William NJ. Evarts, the Hon. A. d. Cornell
and Mr.. Chauncey NJ. Depew will speak Better
men to present the issues of the canvass could
not be found, and eloquent and forcible
speeches, well worth hearing, are certain to be
made. Let all Republicans turn out and show
by an enthusiastic meeting what they think of
the intimation that the Republican party
must go.
The Paymaster-G General in his annual report
to the Secretary of War bears witness that in
stances are rare where an officer has duplicated
bis pay-accounts. We easily and cheerfully
believe this The great majority of officers in
the Regular Army are gentlemen of unimpeach-
able honor and integrity but still dishonest
men do sometimes creep into the service, and
any regulations which make possible duplica-
tion of pay accounts need amendment. General

his Office is the best that can be devised, sug-

The British public, whose nerves have Deen
considerably unstrung by the recent explosions
on the underground railway in London, VIII not
be much reassured by the extraordinary pre-
cautions considered necessary for the safety OF
the Duke and Duchess of COnnaught on their
way to Dover. The whole route was guarded
and watched, owing to an anonymous letter re-
ceiyed by the authorities. If this thing con-
tinues long, it viii be unfortunate for tne
numerous members of, the Royal family Inc
British Nation will not begrudge the trouble OF
protecting them so much as the anxiety causeu
by fears for their safety.

yestigation of the Excise Commissioners msdo-

up their minds to bring into court something

complish the partisan and personal ends theys
have in view, they don't mind hard words. But
the Oyer and Terminer Grand jury which has
been ordered for this month will have an
abundance of time. If its members will only
take this matter up, perhaps they may reach con-

The TRIBUNE will publish tomorrow morning
the opening chapters of Jacks Courtship," q
brilliant new novel by W. Clark Russell whose
fame is established as that II the writer of the
most fascinating stories of the time. Not
even MaTyat and Cooper have surpassed him
and there are not few of his army of
readers who hold that these elders were
left far behind when he wrote "The Wreck of
the GrosyenOr." Thrilling as was that delightful
story, it will be found that it does not put Mr. Rus
sells latest production in the shade. "Jacks Court
ship" is not only novel of exciting sea adventure
it is an enthraling love story also. The happy
and the woful experiences of the heroic sailor Jack
Seymour and his beautiful young sweetheart are
told with spirit, grace and dramatic force that
make every sentence absorbing. Our first install
ment will be generous one.

The CleredRd Plain Dealer is out with an elaborate
article calling for the election of Henry b. Payne
as the new Senator from Ohio. There must be a
Democratic Senator, and there are few men of that
faith in Ohio who would do the position such honor
as Mr. Payne. He belongs to the class of public
men who are called upon quickly enough when
there is work to bo done for the party but who
usually thrust aside when there are prizes to be
distributed. If he should be elected, the Demo-
cratic party would show itself better than its won't

but year after their departure their names
were well nigh forgotten.
So, too it is with journalism in England
Newspaper articles are quiet, calmly con-
sidered discussions of;topics at home and
abroad into which sensation is never per-
mitted to enter. Now and then there is a
little shaking up of the dry bones of politics
when general election takes place or sGme
little ebullition of independence manifests
itself, but there is nothing of that busting,
eager, aggressive spirit which characterizes
the American Newspaper Most provincial
towns are contented with a weekly news
sheet, and there are hundreds of cities with
population of 10000 and upwards which
have not single daily newspaper
So too with the public service. Elections
are conducted in England in the
best spirit of fun and good humor. The
rival candidates are often warm personal
friends. The public offices are tenable for
life and not bestowed on political grounds.
The officeseeker is thing unknown. Poll
tics do not enter into the bestowal of the
appointments in local govenment-in fact
political bias is barrier to Success in Oh
tanning such posts. The first element in the
selection of a coroner, tax collector, a
police officer, or public servant of any sort
is that the applicant shall have taken no
part in partisan politics.

Abuse of Drugs.

nam vino makes his own will is the
lawyers best friend and on the same prin-
ciple, the man who doctors himself is pro-
viding futnre work for his physician. The
extensive sale Of patent medicines lemon
strates how popular this custom of self
doctoring is. The reckless temerity of
some women in this respect is wonderful.
They rush in where angels fear to tread.
Hastily Judging from few symptoms that
a case resembles one which the family doc
tor has tr, ated, they will hunt up an old
prescription and administer the dose to
some confiding husband or helpless child.
[ could tell you some amusing stories of the
mistakes that are made in this way, as well
as some instances where more serious con
sequences resulted. Take for illustration, a
headache. 1t may come from dozen diff
ferent causes-from hunger, Indigestion
from over-excitement of the brain from cat
ing too much from inhaling foul air. The
remedy for headache varies with its caus-
es. Yet you will find women who have a.
universal panacea for headache, regardless
of the cause. Opiates and aperients do. the
most harm. The heedlessness with which
morphine in various forms is now admins
tered in families is alarming. The doctor
comes to attend patient who is in pain
He prescribes morphia, and directs its use,
and the patient is relieved This is enough
to start the average matron on a course of
fell destruction with morphia. The next
patient may be of different temperament,
or sex, or age, requiring either "a different
kind or quantity of the opiate, but the old
prescription will be used, or, worse than
all, will be revived from memory, Some
drug stores watch carefully, and refuse to
dispense such drugs without u prescription
in each case, but there are many toe eager
to make money to care much whether the
patient is being treated by doctor The
same is true of the use of bromide, of chlor
oform, and of ether. The bottle that is
left partly filled in family after one pa
tient has been treated is pretty sure to be
used for another without the doctors
knowledge. AS for paregoric and lauda-
mum. the amount of stupefaction that is
practsed upon children by their use is so
common as almost to cease to attract atten-
tion. 1t seems strange that people are not
afraid to meddle with such delicate organ
ism as the human body. Few persons who
have watches would attempt to repair them
if they should get out of order; yet they
tackle the delicate mechanism of their own
bodies with the recklessness of a blacksmith
attempting to adjust chronometer. The
evil is insidious, and one that would be diff
ficult to reach by legislation. 1t is especi-
ally common among those who have that
little learning which is very dangerous
thing, 1t is a question which are most to
be pitied, those who know nothing what
ever of their own bodies, or those who,
having the presumption to act on very
slight and insufficient knowledge, are per-
petually dosing themselves with nostrums,
and, with blind faith equal to the most
sbject superstition, putting confidence in
panaceas.

Luther rs n Preacher.

For moving eloquence in the pulpit no
one excelled Luther. He not only knew
how to preach, but he could tell the Sc
cret to others. One defect, he observes,
may eclipse numerous gifts in a
preacher. ''Dr Justus Jonas has all
the good virtues and qualities man
may have; yet merely because he huns
and splits, the people cannot bear that
good and honest man." Let preacher
stick to his text and not ramble: "A
pseacher that will speak everything that
comes in his mind is like a maid that
goes to market, and, meeting another
maid, makes stand that may hold a
goose-market. He despised the hun
ger for applause. ambition is the
rankest poison to the church when it
possesses preachers Cursed are all
preachers that in church aim at high
and loud things, and, neglecting the
saving health of the poor, unlearned
people, seek their own honor and praise,
and Herewith to please one or two am
bilious persons. When | preach sink
myself deep down. l regard neither
doctors nor magistrates. Of whom are
here in this church above 40, but have
an eye to the multitude of young people,
children and servants, of whom are
more than 1000. preach to these, di-
recting myself to them that have need
thereof. Will not the rest hear me?
The door stands open to them; they
may BECOME IAN upright, godly, and
true preacher should direct his preach
ing to the poor. simple sort of people,
like a mother that stills her child, dam
dies, and plays with it, etc. .sWhen
they come to me, to Melanchton, to Dr.
Pommer, ETC., let them show their cum
ming, how learned they be; they shall
be well put to their trumps But to
sprinkle out Hebrew, Greek and Latin
in their public sermons savors merely of
show" etc.-Ihe Century.

Church Work

The fortythird annual meeting of the

September 25th and 28th. The Advance
(Chict go), in its report of the Conven-
ton says:
The Forty-third Annual Meeting at
Racine, just closed, will not soon be
forgotten. The welcome from pastor
Stone and his people was so hearty we
felt at home the moment we crossed the
threshold of our host, so said every one.
Indeed, the spirit of Christian hospi-
tally seemed to be in the air, and we
snufTed it from afar. Was it not this
that drew so many from far and near to
go up to this annual gatherings A rich
bill of fare had been sent out in advance
which, through the columns of Our
Church Work" had gone into the hand
of thousands in the State. There was
general expectancy of grand meet
ing. Church, Sunday-school and mis-
sionary topics were of common interest;
the papers were to come from some of
our best men, and the good sisters had
planned rouslng meeting of their own;
well, put it all together, the crowd
came, and the church was filled from
Tuesday noon till the farewells were
said on Friday"

Death OF John Kelty.

The following letter, from Boscobel,
reached us too late for publication in
our issue of last week:
EDITOR HERALD:--It becomes my
sad duty to chronicle the death of MIR.
John Kelly, person well known
throughout southwestern Wisconsin,
for many years city marshal at Bosco-
bel. Mr. Kelly met his death on the
morning of October 9Th, 1888, by the
accidental discharge of gun. On
Tuesday morning Of the 8th he was
hunting in company with neighbor.
While in the wagon his horses gave a
sudden start causing the gun to dis
charge its contents into his throat and
killing him instantly. Mr. Kelly had
been living for the past three years near
jamestown, Dakota, where he had Sc
cured valuable claim. His title was
TO have been perfected this month, and
he had disposed of the claim together
with his personal property, intending
as soon as he made the deed to return
to his old home in Boscobel. His
daughter reached here on Saturday
evening last, leaving her father well,
and was filled with joyous anticipations
of the delights of being once more in
her old home, and of the reunion with
her fond parent in the near future
alas! never to be realized. His body
was sent from jamestown Tuesday
afternoon, and will arrive in Boscobel
Wednesday evening.
at is unnecessary to say that the
news of the death of one SO favorably
known and so respected as a citizen
and public officer has shed gloom
over this entire community. The shock
of its coming on the eve of such bright
anticipations of future happiness in the
expected reunion around the home
circle, casts sadness of more than or
binary darkness over all. -"

President i,reyY nj Home.

President Grevy's life at lis large
chateau of Mont-sous-Vaudra is very
quiet. There are no less than twenty-
five guests rooms, but they arr never
occupied. The only people invited are
the Wilson's Nj. Fournier, who is the
faithful shadow of the master of the
house. Nj. Greyy rises at s, works till 10
with Fournier, then receives the people
of note and goes to sleep during part OF
the afternoon; after which he fishes for
an hour or two on the banks of the Loue.
a small river famed for the abundaneeo of
its excellent fish. AT 10 o'clock the
President receives his night-eaP from
the ever-attentive Fourier, and at 20
minutes past 10 all lights in the chateau
are extinguished.
