changes are eagerly blocking out comfort

ing that next winter, in congress. Vice
President Hendricks will lead an organ
lied opposition to President Cleveland on

clared that the revolt thus led. will sub
stantially annihilato the Democratic party

temporaries should not 20 too fast. We
forget whether this is the fortieth or Fiji
eth time during the last twenty odd years
they have shown how the Democrats were
about to be wiped u Of existence as a
party. They should not indulge in these
predictions Of splits and rum among
Democrats, but rather cast about to see il

THERE is a LOUD call from several news
papers for Roscoe Coukling to return
from Europe and deliver the eulogy over
Gen Grant Unquestionably Mr.. Conk
link is the man for that place. His abid-
ing love Tor Gram unites with his com
handing gifts as an orator to point to
him as the man who Ii hest fitted to pro-
nounco the eulogy hat under the circum-
stances is expected. WLofher he will be
ready To abiidgo his stay in Europe and
take this position caunot yet be known;
but a number of circumstances seem tn
combine to indicate Mr.. Conkling an the
right man. lie knew Gen, Grant per
s%onally and knew him well 1t was an
intimate friendship, in which both were
delighted. Mr.. Conkling is less of a
partisan than he once was, aud he can
give to the subject his dispassionate atten-
ton, and make an Grafton which will go
far to restoring him to favor in quarters
where he has been for the last -four years
regarded with no friendly eye-if indeed
he cares for that favor. He might also
make it a cause for widening and better
ing his fame everywhere. Mr.. Conkling
is in some respects = great man. He is
certainly a great orator.

Ialil Cure a Failure in Africa.


4. correspondent of The Northwestern
lor land of African missionaries,
writes from Ioanda of a test OF the
faith cure in their party;
while we are writing some of the
party are IN bed with the fever. Two
of the young men of the expedition
held to the faith cure. and would not
take cuin ne or any kind of medic ne.
he fever got hold o, both of them.
They resisted medicine and the impor-
tunities OF their friends, and kept pray
ing for healn z ne of them finally
yielded tefore he got very sick and CON
sentei TO have the doctor. He is lust
recovering from a long and severe sick
ness, whereas, if he had taken the
common sense method of taking q%uinine
in time. or had the Goctor in tho begin
ming, he might have had an easier time
oil it.
The other brother did not ask for
the doctor until he found he was dying.
He was in IL critical state when the doc
tor took him in hand. lie had been Tor
days delirious, and while we are writing
is in that condition. 1t is very DOUBT
full whether he RECEIVERS. lie hal as
strong a constitution as any man in the
company. and it he had taken proper
treatment at the very first we believe
he would have been on his feet long
ago We write this AS a warning. o

q ithour giving any opinion as TO the
nature o the poison in the dried beef,
because no microscopical or chemical
animation Of sufficient minuteness

the poisonous element was one OF the

some cause symptoms similar TO strych-
MIA, copper, aud other commissions.
others resemble arsenic in their o ects
while a few cause effects similar to the
poison OF serpenis. There are two con
illusions to arrive at. a. The meat
must have been in a condition to de-
ye op ptomaines before an attempt was
made TO cure it, and that attempt
must have been insufficient, or ~ the
meat. originally good, was imperfectly
cured. allowing ptomaines to form in IT.
Meat properly sailed, smoked,
picked, or cooked by heat, will not de-
velop ptomaines, or trichina. The idea
that any poison placed on the meat
o Id have produced the kind of illness
observed is absurd, for no poison but
arsenic causes such symptoms, and that
could be readily detected on the meat.
be sub vt of ptomaines is destined
TO be an interesting n to physicians
and wrists. They have developed in
canned meats. oysters. sausages, yeast,
custards, milk. l have had several
cases of persons who were dangerously
poisoned by eating custards, custard

develop in ice cream. and often prove
fatal to those who indulge. The
ptomaines which form in sausases and
de- aged fish are very poisonous. 1t Is
supposed to be this agent that causes
the terrible poisoning OF medical stu
dents and undertakers, who get II from
wounds IN dissections.
q" hose epicures who are fond OF
high meats-'tainted is n better name
should remember hat every time they
eat such meats they are liable to swal-
low the ptomaine poisons. Probably
he reason why ptomaines do not de-
velop in such meats is because they are
luug up 9 posed to the air until eaten.
hcsc poisons develop more rapidly
when meats are excluded from the air

The governor of Missouri, in a letter
addressed by his secretary to Mr.. w. a.
Bright, a Wyoming cattle owner, which lot
ter was published in yesterday LEADER.
uses the following language:
IF our people offer diseased cattle, or
the he~althrulncss OF the cattle is not re-
liably established, let other states refuse
10 receive them. But when the health
fulness and freedom from exposure to con-
tagion are properly and undisputably
verified, such cattle ought to pass freely
from one state to another without being
compelled to pay tribute in the guise OF
veterinary surgeons fees.
There may be states and territories where
the veterinary surgeons charge inspection
fees, but here in Wyoming no fees Of any
kind are charged by the territorial veter
marian. That official receives a stated
salary from the territory, and renders ser
vices in connection with the quarantine
establishment here gratuitously to every
