it is not probable that Nj. Pasteur
will be at all forgotten as the man
who has at last accomplished SO
much for the relief of the suffering
flesh is heir to. This late successful
discovery of his is by all means the
most important event in the past
century of medicine and surgery and
not the least of important happen
ings in the past century of the uni
verse. Hydrophobia, the most
dreaded and terrific of all diseases,
is at least conquered. What won't
the little mind of man accomplish ere
the end comes and human accom-
pllsnments are set at naught!

BAD ADVICE.

Very many of the friends of Civil
Service Reform believe that, its
Democratic opponents will introduce
in the House of Representatives bill
to repeal the Civil Service Act, but that
the President and the Republican SEN
ate will strenuously resist its repeal.
Out of this contest between a Demo-
| cratic House on the one hand, and a
Democratic President, backed by Re-
publican Senate on the other, a a"lively"
time is anticipated.
The comments of some of the Dem
ocratic newspapers on this expected
issue, are at once amusing and instruc-
tive. Old brother Dana OF the New
York SIN grows very funny over it.
He speaks of the Civil Service Act as
Ching" and asks "what would be the
use of bringing in a bill to abolish it
(the thing) in the House of Represen-
tatives?"
Equallay hostile himself to reform,
and the President, yet like all new con-
verts to Democracy wonderfully anxious
lest it suffer injury by its recognized
antagonism to honest reform of the
Civil Service, he nevertheless does not
fail to hit Cleveland slap by clubbing
him "Philospher." If he had wished
to compliment Mr.. Cleveland this would
have been good opportunity to eulo-
gize him, to ''taffy" him as the Vulgar
ians say. To flatter him by sycophantic
praise of his craftsmanship"
But Brother Dana is in no such
humor as this. Dana is spokesman,
and Cleveland is supposed not to be
one. In this respect he is above his
party, and hopes to bring his party up
to his level.
Mr.. Dana like the great majority of
his Democratic brethren don't want
his party brought up in this respect.
They want Office, they want spoils more
than they need brother Cleveland's
philosophic principles.
Talk to Democrats hungry for place
"philosophic" craftsmanship!
Bosh and nonsence
This is Just what Brother Dana
thinks.
"The Senate" he says "and the Pres
ident are now opposed TO any restora-
ton of Jefersonian principles in regard
to appointments to Office. The Senate
is Republican and wishes to keep in
place all the Republicans that can be
kept. The President is philosopher
loving competitive examinations and
non-partisan appointments" The Pres
ident therefore not being a spokesman,
but favoring non partisan appointments
would never approve the repeal of the
Civil Service Act, and being "philoso-
pher" would veto the bill repeating it.
Now here is a pretty dilemma for
Democrats who want office without
competitive examinations to test their
fitness to fill them. But Brother "Dana"
is equal to the occasion.
"Let the law slide," he cries, "and
let us have no acrimonious conflict
about it within the party"
That means "dodge it," or evade 1t.
Don't come out before the country
and make square and honest defence
of the law because its objects are good,
but "IefH SEde."
The advice is worthy its author.

OUR literary editor says he hum

of the Lancaster Inquirer, and ac-
cepts the correction of the latter in
reference to his quotation from Sir
Walter Scott at the head of the edi-
torial on Gen. Mcclellan, which ap-
peared in the columns three weeks
ago. But he urges that no better
evidence can be found for his sincerity
of feeling,when penning the editorial
mentioned, than the fact of his hav-

THE CAUSE OF DEATH
T.. Enuel who had eSpectel 81

Dir. Engel, who had expected so much
from the change of treatment adop ed
after Mr.. McCullough's removal from
the BIoomin"dale Asylum to home sur
rounding in Philadelphia, gives blood
poi 'oning as the immediate cause of
death. He says that his physical condi
ton was not such as to enable him to
stand the increase i flow of blood to the
withered side of his brain. The left side
had wasted an the artery supply ing
blood to that portion of the brain had
been choked up. The Massage treat
meut had removed the impedment to the
flow of blood, but it proved too much for
the weakened organ. Dir. Engel differs
materially from the diagonists of the
physicians at Bloomiugdale Asylum,
who pronounced tie dead mass trouble

curable. Mr.. Mccullough died without
making a will and his widow and chill
dren will inherit his estate, which is es-
timated at $4,000.
