Four Democrats who wanted to be considered
sarcastic, stood up against the cold walls of the
courthouse yesterday apostrophizing the APP
pointment. One Of them conceived the happy
idea of paraphrasing a popular comic song in
this way:
There's a coon in town.
There's coon in town,

This gave vent to the pentup ecstacy, and was
soon circulated about the city. The politicians

Accidental CurrS.
Medical Press ant CIrcular

Persons given to meditation must often
have found ample material for specula-
ton in endeayoring to imagine what train
of thought could have promoted the in
PRODUCTION of certain surgical procedures
or led to the frs. trial of this or that
therapeutical agent in the treatment of
a particular disease. What, for example
could have stimulated the first idea of
| curing sciatica by stretching the sciatic
nerve? Certainly the task of finding a
train of thought which should conduct to
| that conclusion would be q severe one
Many such methods have doubtless been
! suggested by real or fanciful analogy
between them and certain natural acci-
dental occurrences, and in this sort of
observation charlatans in all ages have
shown themselves singularly apt. We
may quote a couple of instances OF re
cent occurrences where the cure was eff
fccted under circumstances which must
have suggested to bone shakers their yio-
lent and unsCientific but occasionally sue
cessful mani pulatiOns. In one case the
person who had been almost bedridden
for many weeks from sciatica still suf
fering acutely from the attack, but Il
trifle less in pain, he hObbled forth to get
the benefit of a little fresh air; at a cross
ing he was roughly pushed by a passing
vehicle, and after a desperate but una
vailing effort to preserve his equilibrium
he fell on the ground in the midst of
fairly dense traffic. Tt was only when he
regained the sidewalk that he began to
feel astonished at the, in him, remark
able agility shown in jumping up and
running to a place of safety. The sciat-
lea had quite disappeared and had not re
turned four years later.
In case No. , a strain had been follow
ed by severe pain on movement over the
outer condyle of the right elbow, which
lasted for several months, almost incapac-
itating the sufferer from pursuing his oc-
cupation as hairdresser. There was no
obvious lesson, but no treatment was at
tended with any benefit. One night on
leaving work he had to find his way along
dark passage, in which the cellar door
had inadvertently been left open. Against
this he struck himself violently on the
painful spot, giving rise to such pain that
he nearly tainted. Within a day or two,
however, as the effects of the bruise dis
appeared, the other pain was now noticed
to be absent.
The facts are rather curious, although
it must be confessed it is not easy to see
how to formulate any practical rules of
| treatment as deduction therefrom.

THE POLITICAL CIRCLES.
The Present State OF Affairs III WiscOn-
cOnsin and Elsewhere.
A Misleading Statement Being Cir
culated as 10 Democratic Con-
0reSSmen.


The La Crosse Chronicle says: 1t was
a notable fact that in the recent demo
cratic state convention, some of the poll
ticians upon the committee on platform
succeeded in suppressipg any expression
upon the great tariff issue, and that after
the platform was presented to the conven-
tion Mr.. James Rose offered, as a minori-
ty report, the tariff plank and it went
through with the widest applause that
was heard throughout the session. It Is
the bOldest, strongest and soundest ex-
preston upon the question that has yet
emanated from any democratic conven-
tion in the land, and the manner of its
passage shows clearly that the democrats
of Wisconsin are thoroughly awake and
aggressive upon this question. It's adop-
ton, in the manner described, was a no
tice to the world and TO the politicians,
that the people are more sound than their
leaders on this important issue. We are
happy to find the following strong en-
doasement of the Wisconsin platform in
the New York Star, as it shows that the
democratic party is getting into line on
this great issue:
"The Wisconsin democrats have placed
excellent candidates in the field and
adopted a platform commencing the wise
and patriotic administration of president
Cleveland. The resolutions declare that
all parties in the state unite in condemn
ming anmchy and lawlessness, and they
justly rebuke the attempt by the republi-
can convention to make the world believe
that there is such an issue in the present
canvass. Such a pretense insults the
state and shows that the republican party
dare no longer face real issues. Sumptu-
ary prohlbitory laws are denounced as
Interference with public liberty contrary
to the spirit of our institutions.
On the tariff question the convention
was outspoken. 1t declered:
That the reduction of the tariff to a
revenue basis is a cardinal principle of
the democratic party, and that those
members of the present house of repre-
sentatives selected as democrats, who vot-
ed against considering a bill for the re-
duction of tariff deserve no recognition
in democratic councils.
This is the true democratic position.
The action in Wisconsin and elsewhere
gives assurance that the friends of tariff
reform will enter the next democratic ma
tlOnal convention determined that no
more Juggling resolutions shall befog this
great issue or afford a cover to those who
seek to enter congress as democrats
merely that they may utilize the power
thus gained to betray democratic princip-
les. As the Wisconsin resolution says
such men no longer deserve recognition
in democratic circles. Fortunately the
last ace of treachery committed by them
has provoked q storm of wrath that
promis es to deprive them of such recOg
milton"

The Chicago Herald states a PROPOSE
tiOn concerning the famous "riot issue
that is well worth listening to. 1t will be
interesting to hear from some of the
iot"republicau organs concerning the
questions propoGnded by the Herald in
the following:
If it is to be conceded that, because
Governor Rusk, of Wisconsin, called out
the militia at the time when peace was
threatened in Milwaukee, he must be re-
elected without opposition, then, of
course, it will be unlawful for the repub-
licans to make any nominations in this
city next spring. There was more of a
disturbance in Chicago last May than the
good people of Wisconsin ever saw. 1t
was put down by the police force without
the assistance of the military, Just as the
much less threatening demonstration in
Milwaukee might have been. The munich
pal authorities of Chicago are democrat
ic. Next spring they must go to the
people. viii the republicans who are
now pretending that the democrats of
! Wisconsin have no right to nominate a
ticket against Governor Rusk. then act
on that policy and place no candidates
in the field in opposition tho men whom
the democrats may name?
Party politics brings out great many
stupid propositions, but if there ever was
more idiotic assumption than that which
now holds it to be crime for the demo
Gratis to antagOnize Gov. RUsk simply be-
cause, on occasion, he did his sworn duty
the fact has escaped notice. 1t is a
scheme which, the democrats may depend
upon it, will not work both ways"
