The bath. III lis various forms, is the SOW

is the bath taken by the small boy at the
river side the efficacy of which is shown by
the success with which the hather SubSe-
quently deiies the intense heat OF the suns
RAYS as they fall directly upon the shadeless
piers Better than the river bath is the surf
bath, which is usually succeeded by subse-
ouent resting under shady arbors. by which
its cooling effect is made to last for several
hours The sponge bath is better than no
bath at all. but it is attended with difficulties
which nullify TO some extent its good effects.
The strain upon the intellect involved in the
effort not to sprinkle water upon the carpet.
and the excitement consequent upon the per-
petual search for the soap, which eventually
loses itself and evades recapture with aggra-
waiting sipperineSS, seldom fail to quicken

A METHODIST clergyman from Illinois
is writing vigorously against home rule
on the ground that it would contribute
to the ascendancy of Catholicism. 1t is
idle to notice any arguments made by
men so enthusiastically attached to their
own form of worship, that they want the
world to turn on the pivot OF their belief.
There is serious danger of the question
of religion being injected into the purely
political question of home rule. But
Irishmen should guard against being led
away from the consideration of the ques-
ton at stake by the bigoted utterances
of any man speaking for any sect. Moth
ing good comes from such discussions.
The silence of contempt is the proper
answer and the only one which will prove
effective.

WHENEVER "Grasshopper" Nichol is
interviewed, there is fun. Not that the
Grasshopper has any humor in him, but
his conceit is so enormous and he is SO
insignificant that the ludicrous associe-
ton constitutes the very essence of
humor. And the reporter adds to the
effect always by assuming an air so ser
ious that the effect is surprise, thus
furnishing every element needed for
humor. The ''Grasshopper's" latest is the
issuance of certificates of character to
both parties and to every man in each
party. Rather big undertaking, but to
Nichol-the whole thing scarcely cost
him an effort. That's the kind of man
Nichol is, who was Garfeld's man Friday
and is pestiferous crank by nature.

A MATTER of great moment in con-
nection with the marriage ceremony of
President Cleveland is being discussed.
The clergyman who oficiated did not
pledge Mrs. Cleveland to "obey" her
grandpa husband. Naturally she is now
under no obligation to find Growers
spectacles, or to get up mornings and
make the fire. The traditions of married
life are at stake. All that Mrs. Cleveland
is obligated to do by nuptial pledges is
oto love him, honor, comfort and keep
him." There might be some inconsistency
in doing these things for Grover and at
the same time yielding him obedience.
There is no good reason why Mrs. Cieve-
land or any other woman should ''obey'
her husband. Young chits speak of
my girl as if they had transferable pro-
perty in the person Of whom they speak.
To ''obey" is this idea in maturity.

If any unlawful and murderous pro-
ceeding was ever wholly without iustif-
alton, it is the Orange riots in Belfast.
Just as soon as they became confident
that home rule bill for Ireland had a
sufficient number of friends in England
to make it distinctive issue in parlia-
ment, they began to utter threats. In
advance of the formation of any govern
ment they proceeded to give utterances
to reasonable purposes. Lashing them
selves into fury, they proceeded to tear
down the houses of Catholics and fought
the police with the fury of demons
Those are Irishmen, but possessing not
one spark of liberality in religious mat
ters. The miserable, petty difference in
religious belief is magnifisd to such pro-
portions that it blinds them to the inter-
ests of their own country.

SOME of the Milwaukee papers are
once more engaged in making the dis
covery that Carter Harrison of Chicago
Is trucking to the bad elements of that
city so as to gain their political support.
1t is really surprising the frequency and
persistency with which this weakness of
Carter Harrison is discovered" And
yet on y a very short while ago Carter
did not truckle a great deal to this
element. The element" was grasped
instantly by an iron hand. "Seems like"

DR.. SPITzKA will be remembered as
the physician who testified that Guiteau
was insane. For this opinion he was
pronounced a mountebank by the people
who wanted experts to testify according
to popular clamor, not according to their
Judgment. 1t is now generally believed
that Guiteau was insane. In view of
Stitzka's independence on that occasion,
his views on the subject of hydrophobia
will be of interest. The Doctor in
Inmates that hydrophobia is almost an
unknown disease and that people who
are reported as having died from hydro
phobia are victims of some other disease.

The Oshkosh Times pronounces
Delaney an ignorant man. The Times
is somewhat mistaken. Delaney is a
man of great native ability, natural
orator and, those say who know him, not
bad fellow. But he was unfortunate
in his early associations. A lawyer in
name, he became politician by choice
or through the force of example. Poll
tics claims the first thought in Dodge
county and politics had Dclaney's atten-
ton at that period in life when it is
customary to store the mind with knowl-
edge which afterward gives reputation
and distinction in the profession chosen,
or at least a livelihood. He had mind
and this put to politicians use made
him successful in county in which
politics is profession. 1t was his mis-
fortune; the same time devoted to the
law would have made him lawyer whose
practice comes not by virtue of holding
United States commission. He was well
fitted by nature for the profession to
which he belongs; but he chose to
obstruct nature by embracing politics
the ardor only known to people of the
county from which he halls.
He is shrewd in politics, but in his last
coup d'etat his shrewdness overleaped
itself and left Delaney stranded. He is
not even possibility now as congress
ional timber. 1t is really too BAD that
Delaney's ambition outran his discretion
and exceeded his merit. He had moth
ing to urge in his own behalf but the
record of politician and the appetite of
the county which put him forward as its
organ of taste. Had he given his early
years to his profession he would not be
forced to rely on the empty claim that
dodge county wanted something" and
he was the representative of the demand.
There is real cause for regret, not in
Delaney's fall as he was not high enough
to call his collapse ll,-but in that
he did not rise, having the elements of
growth in him.

MAD KING LUDWIG" of Bavaria is a
mad king no more, IS he is deposed.
His insanity is hereditary and there is
no hope of his recovery. He was one of
the handsomest men Of Europe, had
great physical strength and a quick
active mind. His insanity first mani
tested itself in his intense love of music
and a passion for architecture and theat.
rlcal entertainments. He spent money
freely but all for useless purposes. His
subjects were strongly attached to him.
