arising therein are decided by the entire court

Purman of indianapolis. There is a discussion
of the chemical antidotes of snake venom, and a
review of the poisonous snakes of Indiana by Dr.
A. w. Brayton, of indianapolis. Snake venom
is described as a "glutnous mass of pale aid

charges from two to four drops at bite. The
poison acts most vigorously on mammals and
birds Poisonous snakes are not injured by their
own venom or that of other poisonous snakes,

The poisonous snakes of Indiana are the

in southern Illinois, and possibly in southern In

Experiments made by Lacerdo in the presence
of Emperor Pedro and others distinguished in
science seem convincing that permanganate of
potash solution is positive chemical antidote to
the venom of the Brazilian rattlesnake which is
closely allied to our timber rattlesnake. There
are few poisonous snakes in the United States

cases, but four died. DR.. E. I. Reichert has
isolated from the venom of the rattlesnake and
copperhead three distinct proteid bodies-one
peptone, the second one of the class globulius,
and of intense virulence, while the third is an
albumen. Mixed with either bromide iodine,
caustic soda, caustic potash, or permanganate of
potash, the venom of all our poisonous snakes is
destroyed. The usual treatment-tho Hgature,

use of alcohol even to Fundamentally fails
to prevent death from snake venom. The prin-
cipal researches on snake venom in this country
have been made by Dr. S. Wier Mitchell, in the
Smithsonian papers and in various medical
journals.

tistics may not bear him out there is still a
striking difference between Kentucky and the
States north of the Ohio river. In regard to
the murders committed. in Ohio, for example,
nine-tenths of them are due to liquor, and
both the murderers and their victims usually
belong to the lower classes. In Kentucky it
is the best people who kill each other, and
they do it with deliberation and malice

such acts are the highest evidence of man
hood. In Kentucky the murderers are usual

of social standing and it is rarely the law ever

MCDONALD'S PARTY.
A Powerful Democratic Paper Treating the
Boom Very Flippantly.

New York Sun.
In the absence of political news nearer home,
it is proper to report the fact that select party
of Democratic editors met in Indianapolis on
Thursday to be instructed as to the issues of the
day by the Hon. Joseph e. Mcdonald. There
were fifty or sixty editors in ALL and they came
from various parts of Indiana In order to listen
to Mr. Mcdonald.
Mr. McDonald's Grafton was full of truths. He
told the Indiana editors that of all the ancient
nations the Phenicians undoubtedly occupied
the first place as commercial people lie re-
minded them chat the discovery Of America by
Columbus gave an impetus to
merce unknown to the world before
the happening of that event The
bold and liberty loving Dutchmen, he boldly as
sorted established the colony upon Manhattan
Island which afterward became the city of New
York The continent of Europe, as he pointed
out to the editors, is least in territorial extent
of any of the great divisions of the earth. He
urged his hearers to remember that the great law
of supply and demand regulates the price of
labor, as it does of everything that is to be
bought and sold. He went on to affirm that ''it
is becoming generally known that we are fast
losing our maritime character, and that the
CARRYING trade for our merchandise the
high seas is passing under the flags Of
other nations" Yet, as he showed by
the actual statistics, of the ninety two
counties in Indiana, only four are without rail
road facilities and three of these four lie the
Ohio river. The conclusion reached by Mr..
Mcdonald from these and other premises is that
"everythiag that tends to increase our trade
with foreign nations should receive our earnest
attention" '"Hrue Democracy" he said, "cOn-
ssts in the adoption of such measures and poll
ces which, being right in themselves as win re-
suit in the greatest good to the greatest mum
