CAUSE AND CURE OF CHOLERA.
A New Method Of Treatment by Which Nor
tality Is Greatly Reduced

CHICAGO Sept pa resident of this city has
received from DR.. John Chapman, the eminent
physician of Paris. and successor to John Stuart
Mill in his connection with the Westminster Re-
view. an important letter relative to his theory
and practice regarding the cause and cure of
Asiatic cholera. 1t has always been understood
and believed that cholera is entirely due to a
germ living organism, which finds its way
into the system from without either through
the air. food water. tie body of the sufferer
providing an almost unlimited supply of these
organisms for imparting the disease to Others
For some years DR. Chapman has devoted con-
siderable time to the study and investigation of
this theory, and claims that he has succeeded in
scientifically demonstrating that il is false The
disease. he says is in sense a blood poison
Nor is 1t contagious. he, on the contrary avows
cholera to be truly nervous disease dependent
chiefly on thermal and electric influences. and
these being but modes of motion, are allied to-
if not Identical with, sea sickness. the causation
and phenomena of which are the same. He as
sumes and claims that by successful treatment
he has proven that cholera depends upon a sim.
ultaneous hyperaemic condition of the spinal
cord and the sympathetic system of nerves the
former controlling the secreting glands and large
voluntary muscles of the body while the latter
controls the voluntary muscles in the coats of
the arteries, the bronchial tubes and elsewhere
in the system. This ultimately leads to the svmp-
toms most noticeable in the disease.
DR.. Chapman says that he will shortly give
his theory to the medical world, and demonstrate
its correctness by the most logical and consistent
deductions known to pathology He adds that
on this hypothesis he aims in practice to reduce
the superabundance of blood in the spinal and
sympathetic nerve centers, accomplishing this
by the application of ice to the spine The re-
suits have been astonishing, only five out of
thirty nine cases proving fatal This is about IL

A Struggle Which Will Test the Popularity

A Struggle Which Will Test the Popularity
of Senator German.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, Sept 29-There has been
good deal of quiet talk here during the past two
or three weeks about the campaign in Maryland.
Very little has been heard about this outside Of
the State; less, in fact, has been said about the
campaign in Maryland by the press and the
people throughout the country than that in any
other section. The campaign in Maryland, too,
is raging very warm, and the forces are more
evenly divided than they probably ever were
The old secession State was never shown to be
:. SO torn up over politics. Heretofore she has
been reasonably sure for the Democrats, and
most of the time yielded up large majorities for
that party. The struggle now going on is alto
gether over the Legislature, which will elect
United States senator to succeed German. This
gentlemau's career has been unsatisfactory to
the people he represents that they have revolred,
and are conducting an independent movement of
great magnitude. Much money is being placed
here by Republicans on Senator Germans de-
feat, and the chances two out of three that
he will be defeated. He is a notorious machine
man. and has pandered to the heelers and bull
lies, overlooking the best class of the people.
Senator German, it will be remembered, is
responsible for placing Higgins, the notorious
appointment clerk of the Treasury in his pres
ent position. Higgins represents the element
working for German There has always
been class of people throughout the State
solid moral people-in opposition to German;
but his machine methods have controlled the
city of Baltimore, and held him up. In this con-
test, however, the city of Baltimore is leading

A Conspiracy Having for Its Object the Re-
moval of Governor Pierce.
Washington Special.
Within the last ten days the President has re-
ceived numerousy signed letters and kilograms
from Dakota asking for the removal of Governor
Pierce and the appointment of F. NJ. Ziebach as
his successor. The suddenness with which these
requests began and the uniformly expressed de-
sire that Mr.. Ziebach be given the place has led
the President to believe that the move is a plot
of Mr.. Ziebaeh's friends Colonel Thompson a
leading Democratic citizen of Brunswick had an
audience with the President on this subject to-
day, and represented that the better class of
people in Dakota. both Republicans and Demo
Gratis. do not desire the removal of Governor
Pierce, and that he is the best Governor the
Territory has had. IG is known that the
President has high opinion of Governor Pierces
executive abilities, and the people best informed
on territorial matters here say that there is no
probability that Governor Pierce will be asked
to resign for at least year.

Causes of the Outbreak.

uOntreai special
That such thing as the smallpox should
serve to awaken race hostility is indeed remark
able; but the fact is that it has been the cause of
more bitterness than even the most serious sub
ject of quarrel. To state the case very simply,
the French in Montreal have been harboring and
breeding the smallpox with apparent indffer-
ence to the loss of life it was causing, and com
plete indifference to it's effects upon the English
population. The English have suffered to
small extent from the ravages of the disease
poor Sir Francis Hncks fell victim to 1t
through infection carried to his house by SER
vant-but their business losses as the result of
the prevalence of the epidemic have been most
serious The French would not vaccinate, were
reluctant to lend themselves to any sanitary
measures, but preferred to fight the disease if
at all, by pious observances and ceremonies.
Their clergy were not backward in telling them
that the plague had been sent as punishment
for neglect of religious duties; and, of course,
the remedy lay in more frequent visitations of
shrines, and more copious prayers and confess
slons. They went SO far as to indicate the par
ticular saint who had special control of the
disease in question. and urged that his inter
cession should be sought. In short, the
clergy strove to improve the occasion to the
edificaticn of their fiocks, while the energies of
the English were wholly bent upon extrpating
the evil by physical means. It is not, therefore,
to be wondered at that the believers in St. Roeh
on the one hand and the believers in ST. Vac
cination on the other soon fell to saying unpleas
ant things of one another The responsible En-
glish press. for the most part, was moderate in
its utterances, but the French press, taking
offense at the remarks of some anonymous cor
respondents in the English papers, worried
themselves and their constituents into perfect
fury. One welknown writer said that .the
French of Canada would not initiate the chivalry
OF their ancestors, who, at the battle of Fonte-
noy, called upon the English to fire first; if
there was resort 10 warfare they would try and
get in the first blows themselves These infam-
matory articles are undoubtedly responsible in
great measure for to-day's outbreak

rule which requires that all bills must be read in
full when introduced, if any one asks for it,
shall be enforced. If this plan is carried out to
the full extent, instead of the introduction of

impossible to listen to more than one-eighth of

those members who have come to Washington
with sack full of bills upon all sorts of subjects
will find that they are unable to do anything,

of legislation the desired opportunity.

Legislative Seers Who Predict Unusually

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29-Congressional proph-
ets-men who have long been connected with
the national legislature in one capacity or
another, and who believe they have everything
down to a fine point even in the matter of fore
casting legisation-are already predicting that
there will not be much fuss made in Congress
this winter. One of them has taken the trouble
to tell why things will run along smoothly, and
the session will be short He believes that it is
because everybody almost has predicted that
there will be lively time, and that good
many wrang.es will arise. which has put the
majority on its guard. 1t may be that the ses-
sion will be quiet but the indications are that
it will be extremely lively. Unless the Demo

ment of the administration. A number of
Democratic members have already announced
that they propose to act independently upon all
subjects looking towards an Endorsement of Mr..
Cleveland and his Cabinet. There is no longer
any question about the intention of Republican
senators to inquire into the character of nomi-
nations that have been made, and the causes
leading to the removal of men who filed the
places previous to Democratic appointments
This will alone insure some activity, while
financial subjects in the House will guarantee
some brisk movements there. Nothing is ex-
pected to arise in the House to attract attention
throughout the country before March Or April,
when the important measures will have come up
from the committees, and appropriation bills
will begin to appear. In the Senate skirmishing
will begin Immediately after the holidays.

one of his finest compositions. / had previously
corrected statement as to authorship, in local
paper, and on Dec. %, 1875, sent the Gazette.
which published therein, what am sure is
true statement. 1t is that the poem in ques-
ton written by Hannah F. Gould. and pub
lished in the New York American, between the
years 1885 and 1889, the paper being taken by
my then employers in Vermont, and was so i'm
pressed by the words and thoughts thereof, that
/ got permission to cut the poem from the paper,
and still have it in an old scrapbook. G. N. T. is
correct in his article in Journal of 22d inst
