Dying Persons Inconsistencies.

"A dying man may be burned with o
red-hot iron and not feel pain" DR..
Crawford said TO reporter of the Mail,
of Stockton, Cal. CONSCIOUSNESS may
remain to the dyinaalmo to the disso-
luton, but generally they lose the pow
err of thought long before actual death.
In cases OF death IN which there seems
to be suffering the writhing and spasms
are due 10 reflex muscular action. Fear
weakens the nervous system, and, con-
sequently, hastensf death; and the re-
verse of fear may prolong life." The
doctor cited medical report concerning
a Methodist minister. He lay on the
verge of death, cold and pulseless, and
friends around his bed sang his favorite
hymn. AS they ceased, and while the
physicians stood timeing the death the
minister's hands moved, and he whis-
pered, "Gloryp KestoratIves were adj
innistered, and an hour later the man
had recovered. lie lived many years
afterthat. He said he understood every
word spoken at his bedside. Under the
nervous excitement and enthusiasm
wrought by the hymn, he had exerted
his muscular strength, and lived.

ON THE subject OF the United States
Marshalship of the Western district of

with NIL in regard TO Hal Gosling having

arises "are there not Democrats who

are they not entitled to some Of the

answer" The Kyle News on the same
subject observes "There are a lot Of
men in the field for that position, and
men who are justly entitled to Demo
cratic favor. Besides, we do not think
that President Cleveland will adopt the
policy of displaclng men who are uni
yersally acknowledged to be good olli-

dices, And there is not Il man in West

TnE independent Irish American
voters have issued an address in regard
to their course in the late election. The
closing paragraphs Of the address are rs
follows: ave were compelled to make
it clear to the American people that we
were not with any party controlled by
the English free trade element; that we
were not in favor Of English customs
and manners finding an abiding place
upon this continent; and that we were
not the political ohattels. Of any party,
and would be only with that boldest and
most earnest in its defense OF the prin-
ciples upon which our governmental
structure rests, That we have shown
this the result proves. In the two cities
of New York and Brooklyn $4,000 indie
pendent Irish-American votes were cast
for the Hon. James G.. Blaine and Cen
eral John A. Logan, the standard bear
ers of the protective policy; and that in
the State of New FORK the record makes
it clear that total Of not far from l0O,-
600 votes were cast by the same element
for the same cause. Victory was
snatched from us only by n trick, and
the victor, who was elected Governor of
the Empire State by 10000 majority
two years ago, slips into the chair
of Washington by bare plurality of
l.lOO votes-leaying a majority of over
10000 of the people of his State against
him. These figures are our vndlcation.
We have done what seemed TO us our
duty TO our country and ourselves. We
are satisfied with the record we have
made in the past. We have struggled
against misrepresentation and abuse to
infuse spirit of independence among
Irish. Americans, and we have not failed,
We have driven home the wedge and
now turn our faces toward the future.
Brothers of the Irish race. we need not
waste further time in the discussion Of
this matter. You have seen and felt
the terrible, numbering effects of English
free trade. Let us Immediately organize
to resist 1t in this country. Organize
lrish-Amerioan Protective Union clubs
everywhere: in every assembly district
in the city and in every school district
in the country. We hope TO be able
within few weeks to furnish tracts
and publications on this and kindred
subjects. Organize for mutual protec-
tion and mutual benefits, and we shall
be glad to receive reports Of your organ
izaticns at our headquarters, and will
aid you in every possible manner.
We welcome all, regardless of past
affiliations, who sympathize with
the principles herein set forth, to coop
crate with us under the banner of the
Irlsh-American Protective union. The
address is signed as follows: Austin Il.
