THE death of DR.. Samuel d. Gross, of
Philadelphia, during the session of the
American Medical association, of which he
wa one of the pillars, will be learned with
keen regret by physicians throughout the
entire country. DR.. Gross had a reputa-
ton in his profession that was world-wid
He was the very first author to give an
American surgical work the elevated plane
of a professional classic, and in his death
there passes away the leading writer on
that branch of science in America and one
Of the very foremost in the world. His
large work on surgery is a mastery expo
sition of a critical and exacting science
and IL received as authority and even IS a
textbook the world over. DIR. Gross was
about eighty-four years old and maintained
his love for his profession, coupled with his
great intellectual grasp, to the very last,
For many years he held the chair of sur
gerry in the Jefferson Medical college, of
Philadelphia. For the last couple of
years, however, he merely maintained the
emeritus professorship, his son, DIR. Sam
uel Gross, having succeeded him in the
more active duties. DIR. Gross was in
vested with the honorary degrees of d. G.
L., from Oxford, and of LII d.. from
Cambridge. According to his last wish

The Democratic Leader.
FRIDAY, MAY 9, 1884.

The Republican National committee,
after a two days secret session in Chicago,
have finally decided upon a course of ac-
ton to be pursued during the coming
campaign. According to a Geographic
report OF the proceedings the Republican
orators will be instructed 10 attack free
trade as a Democratic measure originated
in England. 1t is asserted that the OBJ
iect in thus attacking the free trade doc
trine is to ALLEVIATE the Irish vote from the
Democratic party. lfthis is really their
purpose, and this their line of argument,
he Republican managers have based por-
digious faith upon a very tiimsy founda-
ton. Free trade, as free trade, is a very
legitimate subject of attack, for there ex-
lists a decided difference of opinion as to
its utility, but the question rs to whether
the idea was first put into effect in Eng
land or the South Sea Islands has no
bearing whatever on its value as III econ
omic measure. But the most ex~travagantly
ridiculous feature oftheir decision is to
endeavor to influence Irish voters against
the Democratic party on the ground
that free trade is now in force
in Great Britain. This will be the
most laughably absurd method of inlu-
encing voters that the luxurious imagina-
ton of Republican orators ever conceived,
1t is quite apparent that the Republican
managers are entirely barren of plausible
argument, when they intend to make such
a plea to an intelligent class of peo-
pie. Fighting over the ~supennnuated
and venerable war issues, and Haunting
the ensanguined undergarment, seem to
have failed, even AS a stock argument.
If these are taken away from the average
Republican orator what in the world will
he have left to harp on? The outlook
for Democratic success is most encourag-
ing even from a Republican stand point.

Outlines little word dropped FRI care
less lips reveals to him who hears it the
whole inner life of the speaker 1t is not al
ways safe, however, to base an opinion of
person upon such foundation, as the fol.
lowing incident will show:
Yesterday afternoon a horse-car was slowly
humping along toward the South E md. and
among the passengers were two refined
looking young women, who were holding an
animated conversation in one corner. Their
words were inaudible to the rest of the pas
sengers, owing to the noise of the ear-wheels
and the groaning and creakiug of the
vehicle. All of a sudden, however. the car
stopped, and, thrilling across the momentar
stiffness, came this remark from the prettier
of the pair:
''You just ought to see me turn q sum
mersetl''
The effect was extraordinary. Two
light-minded young men at the other end Of
the car laughed aloud; a clerical looking
person opposite the pair, half rose, as if
meditating flight, and then sat down again
an aged and revere-aspected dame, glared ut
the speaker through spectacles which focused
her gaze until it bored its way like a gimlet,
and the faces of the two young women turn
ed to charming roseate hue.
And yet the speaker was not circus rider,
trapeze permformer, or anything else odd,
unfeminine or indelicate She belonged TO
to one Of our best families, and, having Just
returned from the gymnasium, which her
sex in this city are now so sedulously cult
waiting, was describing to her friend her tri.
umphs upon the parallel bars.

praying for the recovery of the king. Others
were going through the streets chanting and
singing psalms. Public prayers had been Or
dered throughout the kingdom. Around the
pagodas and in front of every house tall
bamboo canes were placed and dressed with
ribbons of various coIors. Beside the statues
OF Buddha, at the cross roads and in the in
terror OF the Chinese dwellings, odoriferous
torches were kept burning. Trade was sus-
pended. The people appeared outdoors In
their holiday costumes. In the evening and
late at night the streets were filed with peo-
pie carrying torches or lanterns. The sounds
OF the gong and of the tam-tam were mixed
with the constant detonations Of fire crackers,
and the sky was continually streaked with
rockets, whose explosions and brilliancy
were intended to drive away the bad spirits
that were bent on tormenting the sovereign.

composed OF about twenty natives, who we're
marching in file, and before whom the crowd
OF people opened passage with great res
peet. This was the escort of the little son OF
Norodom, who was out for an airing. The
child was seated upon the shoulder of a little
dlgnitary of the court. A servant walked be-
hind and shaded him with parasol. This
royal baby was dressed in silk gown of q
brilliant color. He wore q necklace and
bracelets, and on his ankles were rings of
gold. His hair was shaved, with the excep-
ton OF little topLnot carefully rolled up on

mounted by one of those white jasmine

ognized the dog as belonging to the rector,
who is fond of sport, and their singing was
somewhat marred by their effort to suppress
their laughter. Slowly the procession moved
out of the sanctuary, out of the chancel and
out of the auditorium, the dog following
close at Mr.. Crafts side, springing up at him
every few seconds, and seeming rather de-
lighted at the novelty of the situation. The
terror which had at first seized the congrega-
ton changed to sense of amusement when
they grasped the turn of affairs, and as the
dog pranced through the door leading to the
vestryroom, those in the church were on
broad grin.
There was some curiosity to know how the
dog got out of the rectory, and this was sub
sequently explained by the appearance of
the Graft son and heir of tender years. who,
it appears had not waited for the communion
service but had gone home and carelessly
left the door open Missing the dog he had
come to the church to look for it, little dream
ing of the CONSERVATION it had caused and
the punishment that was in store for him.

Il Coat Of Tar.
TStockton Herald. |

Some months ago shyster lawyer named
Pond went to Lodi. He formerly lived at
Napa. His wife was at that time staying
with friends at Los Angeles, but about three
months ago she came up to Lodi with d
young babe and a young child years of age.
In the meantime Pond had ingratiated him
self with Judge Meeker and gone into part
nership with him in law. Pond was terribly
dissipated, and Judge Meeker turned him
adrift, but afterwards took him back on
promise Of reformation. Some weeks ago
Judge Meeker went East and left Mrs. Pond
and family in bis house to take care of it dur
ing his absence. Pond, in Meeker's absence
went on continuous and disastrous drunk.
Mrs Ponds little babe became sick, and
Pond got drunken. and the sicker the babe
became the drunken Pond got.
Last Friday the babe died and Pond was
too drunk to know or care anything about it,
On Sunday the bereaved mother, aecompau-
led by svmpathizing lady friend, brought
the little corpse to Stockton on the train TO
inter it. and when they left Lodi, Pond was
lying helplessly and bopelessly drunk on the
floor at home. On Monday evening he had
recovered his senses sufficiently to realize
what he was about. A party of residents of
Lodi called on him with team and wagon
and took him riding. The party came to-
ward stockton, but stopped few miles out
from Lodi, stripped Pond naked and gave
him coat of tar. They let him get back TO
town afoot. They gave him one day in which
to leave town, but he did not want so much
time. He left on Tuesday noon. Mrs Pond
viii be cared for temporarily by the good peo-
pie of Lodi, none Of whom appear TO know OF
care who gave Pond his coat Of tar.

The Proorc,. OF Cbrf,tiun JTtseio,.

At recent missionary meeting in Lon
don Sir Richard Temple presented statistics
to show that the progress of Christianity in
the east had been remarkable during the last
generation.
When the census of British India was tax
ed few years ego, the number of native
Christians was returned as over half mil
lion, and the number of children in the
Christian schools as about $50, 900. As COM
pared with the total population of India, how
ever, these figures seem small, especially
when we remember that the actual and nom
inal Christians have only been gathered
after century of effort. Even if the total
increases during the next few years to one
million, as Sir Richard Temple prophesied it
would, it will not be great enough to justify
hopes of any speedy Christianization of In
dia.
And while these compar atiyely insignif-
cant gains have been made in the heather
East, how has it been in the Christian West!
If half million Hindus have been brou ght
to the Christian faith, after the struggles of
generations of missionaries, how many mil
lions of Christians during the same period
have departed from the faith In Europe and
America?
1t seems to us that the great mission field
for the church at this time is Christendom,
for if skeptieism prevails there and religious
zeal cools, the work of propogating the Cos
pei in the heather east must suffer more
and more decided check. Only when the
church has been warm in its attachment to
the faith has Christianity extended its bor-
ders. Nor can we doubt that religious skep-
tieisrn in the west will have its reflex in the
east, which is even more likely to initiate
doubt than to embrace faith.--N Y Sun

turn as sheriff, the office was in good shape.
The head of it was fine lawyer, and his dep
uty was W. L. G. Smith, who was minister
to China under Buchanan, the author of
''Uncle Toms Cabin as 1t Is, and several
other works of note. The office was well adj
ministered, and when the term was finished,
Mr.. Cleveland went back to his law business.
The fees of the sheriff's office were large,
and the income from it gave him his
financial start. He then made money at the
law and saved something.
In 1881 he was forced to be candidate
for mayor. A popular revolt against the
methods that we're robbing the city swept him
into this office. The council was against
him, but he vetoed every obnoxious measure
it passed, and his assaults upon the alder
men were SO vigorous that they did not dare
to pass them over his objections. Here his
veto of the street cleaning job is regarded as
the real beginning of his public career. Soon
after he came into Office the council voted to
award the street cleaning contract for five
years to George Talbot, local politician of
power, at 1922, 800 year. There were sew
eral lower bids by thoroughly responsible
men. Mayor Cleveland vetoed the award.
severely condemning the attempted waste of
the peoples money. The contract was sub
sequently awarded to the lowest bidder at
s109, 900. The amount saved on this. and an
item for sewer during the first six months
of his administration was nearly one million
dollars. These acts brought him into prom
inence and started him toward his present
place. 1t was on account of his fearless
fight in spite of large odds, against public
plunderers, that he was pushed and elected
governor b. these people. It is because they
know him to be perfectly honest and ineor-
ruptibIe that tonight all men, regardless Of
different political affiliations, are rejoicing
over his success.

Col. Levi Bird Duff, one of the most prom
fnent Independent Republicans in the state,
! has announced his intention to vote for
Cleveland. Col. Duff was one Of the promi-
nent men in the Liberal movement of 1872.
He came back to the Republican party in
1876 and voted with it again in 1850. In
1882 he joined in the Independent move
ment led by Charles S.aWolfe, and ran for
Lieutenant-Governor with senator John
Stewart. The Republicans say he has taken
step backward and the Democrats that he
has gone forward.
What do you think of the Independent
Republican sentiment in Pittsburgh was

MY impression is that that they were all
for the Republican ticket, but since Cleye-
