Political SiraWs.

Cincinnati News-J ournal CDem): The majority vote made by MT. Payne Q democratic Senator from Ohio. IL did not sand the grease on the caucus track. IL did not remove the grease from his caucus and ring supporters. It did not relieve the democratic party of the necessity for sanding the track and re- moving the petroleUrs.
 Pittsburg Dispatch Qnd): Governor Murray's argument is UudenIable enough, but what good will it do? The representatives of civilization have been arguing the evils of Mormonism for twenty-five years, and the results have shown that they have made very large waste of breath. The Mormons will re- main deaf to all arguments exept one. and that Is the convincing logic of superior force. It IS to be hOped that some time or other the national authorities may apply to this Mormon business the policy of the old man in the primer and throw stones instead of grass.
 New Orleans Times-D Democrat (Dem. ]: The senate must not regard Senator Browns remarks as representative of
 
 they are not; nor must it allow him to cripple and destroy any bill 1t may pro pose to frame, as he did tho last, with amendments. If congress really desires to break mp polygamy let it pass some bill that will be thorough and effective, or let 1t drop the subject altogether. We have had enough milk-and-water legislation on this subject, that has done nothing save encourage the AlOrmOns into the belief that congress was i'm potent as against them. The present IS about the last opportunity this govern ment will have to rid the country of polygamy; if it fails now We had best make mp our minds 10 endure the evil, and prepare for the spread of Mormon ism over the entire western portion of the continent.
 Charleston IS. O. News and Courier (Dem.). The democratic party cannot claim the confidence of the moneyed classes on the strength of its financial record, or on account of it's devotion to civil service reform. If the Democrats are coaxed or driven to the adoption of the dodge -and-do-nOthing policy, and drop the tariff qustion, they must rest their claim to popular support in the north and west on the melancholy CIT cunastance that they have been out of office for more than twenty years, and have been defeated Bt five successive presidential elections. These may be strong reasons to democratic politicians why the "outs" should take the place of the "lns,- but the plain citizen will be disposed to think that 1t is better to keep the present party in power than to make change for the sake of a change. Nothing Is left to the democratic party to make a winning campaign on except ing the tariff question.

Lincoln and the Speeds.

The late Joshua F. Speed, some years before his death, gave me an interest
 ing account of his early acquaintance
 and intimacy with Abraham Lincoln.
 One day Lincoln came into his store
 and said: Speed, they want me to run
 for the Legislature. What have you to
 say about ity' Speed replied: Do you
 think that you can be electedg Lincoln
 answered.: "Well, the boys say so."
 'Very good, go it and I will stand by
 you said Speed. Lincoln was then
 deputy sheriff of the county. He told
 Speed that he wanted to study law. and
 thought from his pay in the Legislature he could save little money which would
 enable him to do it. He became a can didate and astonished the natives by his great capacity on the stump. His com petltor had put lightning rod on his
 house, and 1t was the only one to be
 found Tn all the region. Many rOArs of laughter did Lincoln raise by describ- ing the fear of his opponent that God Almighty would strike him for his man
 fold sins of omission and commission.
 The election resulted in Lincoln's favor.
 Eight or ten months after the legisla-
 ture adjourned he agaln came into Speeds store and said: Speed, have rented law office and am to pay S2 month for 1t. l have counted up how much 1t will cost to fix up bed in my office, and it will take just SIT. Will you credit me for that amount?" ooh, yeH," said Speed, but think I can put you m a way to save those Sl7.' "How?" "Well, my partner and 1 have been sleeping Tn the same bed for some time. He IS gone now, and If you wish, you can take his place" "Where IS your bedY' Upstairs" Lincoln i'm mediately went up, and after surveying the room and the bed came back and remarked: "Well, Speed, I am located." MT. Speed assured me that he and Lin coin slept together about four years Such Is a part of the early history of one of the most remarkable men of this 1 age. Whether what I have related had | anything to do with the appointment of 1 the Hon. James Speed as Attorney | General of the United States l know | not But do know that if l had been l ID Mir. Lineoln's place, and Joshua l Speed had had brother, as he had, who | was qualified for that position, he should | have been assigned io 1t. Certain 1t is | that Joshua Speed was one of Presi- | dent Lincoln's most intimate and cher | ished friends throughout his administrR- | Letter

German medical journals discuss 8 new medical agent lately discovered by Professor Fischer, of Munich. In the course of long series of investigations concerning the nature and action of quinine, he found that, by means of a succession of chemical transformations, a substance can be obtained, in the form of white crystalline powder, from coal tar. which greatly resembles quinine in its action on the human organism. Fischer has given 1t the name of "kalrin." The chief effect produced by it. as yet observed, is the rapid diminution of fever heat, and its efficiency ID this respect is described as remarkable. It Is believed that lt will render the use of ice ID fever cases un- necessary, and that its skillful employ ment will enable the physician 10 moderate the temperature of the patient Karin is also reported to have less inconvenience for the stomach than quinine. But observation does not show -as yet, at least-thst It possesses that toric and restorative influence for which quinIne is so frequently administered Perhaps from a chemical and physlo- logical point of view, the most valuable thing about the new discovery Is that 1t seems to bring us nearer to finding out the chemical nature of quinine itself and the true character of its agency. The discovery has been patented, and a man ufsctury ot karin established under the direction of Professor Laubenheiu1er, Of Giessen. But, ss 1t is said the cost of produ,ing a killogrHmme (abOut 35l4 | ou1ces) of the new agent isGl5, 1t will be some time before its patrons can hope to see it take the place of quinine in practical pharmacy.

Has a Married Man any Rights!

''I say" said friend the other day, "yOu are an old haud at 1t. l only got married the other day and don't under stand much about the business. But has a married man any rights left when he once assumes the hymeneal respon- sibilities?'
 Rights? Yes, just lots of them. He has a right to pay all of the bills to the"
 'tStopi mean this. Let me give you an instance. Every box, drawer and portmanteau, and in fact every available receptacle of every description, is stuffed full of my wife's property and when l want to put away a few collars and cuffs"
 Hold hard! know what you mean. If your bedrooms were 300 feet long and lined from the floor to the ceiling with drawers, and you wanted to put away couple af shirts you couldn't find a nook that wash full of hairpins, tufts of friz- zes, pads, scent boxes, powder puffs, gloves, rings, and things. Wrap your things in an old newspaper and hide the parcel under the bed, and then you can find it."
 He smiled and passed on, wiser, if not a better man.-Chicago Tribune.
