Col. c. L. WooLEY, prominent Cincin-
natl Democrat, but among the class of
Democrats who refused to wink at the
recent election outrages, has written let
ter to Governor Foraker calling upon him
to check the frauds upon the rights of
citizens at elections in Cincinnati. eff
necessary, take your militia and drive the
Cincinnati thieves into the river he ex-
claims, and adds, 'The Mayor of Cincin-
natl must have your elevated views in
order that our city may be rescued from
murderers, thugs and convicts" He de-
clares there are 100000 Democrats in
Ohio who viii sustain action looking to
the purifying Of the filthy pool in Ohio's
metropolis. The Cleveland PAIN Dealer
suggests that Colonel Wooley must have
been drunk when he wrote the letter.
All indeed? Then what a pity It's that
more political leaders do not get drunk,
and mutter truth between their cups. The
Chicago Times is incapable OF intoxication.

rage and rascality against the Democratic
bosses of Cincinnati. Here is the Zanes-
vile Signal too, Democratic, and leading
organ, and it comes out boldly in defense
of Governor Foraker in his removal of the
corrupt Police Commissioners of Cincin-

RACES upon the rights of citizens.

HYDROPHoBIA.

Another popular error has been ex-
ploded. The general belief is that hydro
phobia is indicated in the affected one by
endeavors to bark like dog and in repug-
nance to water. In the Clinical Society.
New York, last week, the matter was dis
cussed, and the doctors agreed that the
popular diagnosis of hydrophobia is one Of
error. DR.. Rosa went so far as to assert
that the signs in dog usually supposed
to indicate rabies are very deceitful. DR..
Hammond insisted that hydrophobia can
not be cured, and he denounced as utterly
untrue all stories about people having the
disease years after having been bitten by
mad dogs The truth is, he said, the
pathology of the disease is not known, and
the medical profession is not a unit as to
the cause. 1t was agreed that the longer
patient goes after being bitten without
developing symptoms the safer he is, Il
was asserted that there are demonstrated
cases of hydrophobia from fear. 1t was
advised that the dog supposed to be mad
should not be killed at once, but kept
until it can be seen if in reality he is mad,
since that is necessary to ascertain whether
the person bitten is in danger. DR.. Ham
mond insisted from his experience in
twenty-five cases that half-hour's draw
ing OF the wound by suction is the most
efficacious treatment, and that no one need
fear to apply the mouth to such wound.
This physician, who, by the way, stands
very high in the profession, had no conf
denee in Pasteur's methods, and raised the
issue as to the cases healed by Pasteur
really being hydrophobic. He also
threw down the gantlet to Pas
teur on this statement: Hydrophobia
cannot be produced by incubation. The
poison of it cannot be taken from the dis
eased brain of rabbit It must come
from the saliva" DR.. Dana thought these
criticisms on Pasteur severe, especially
since committee of the French Academy
had certified that Pasteur did produce
hydrophobia by incubation of lower ami
mails with the virus from rabid dog. DIR.
Smith stated his experience to be that per-
sons bitten by dogs can bring on hydro
phobia by the force of their imagination.
DIR. Satterthwaite certified to cases of hy-
drophobia caused by fear, and added that,
out of 5000 cases OF sickness in one of the
great hospitals, there was but one case of
h,vdrophobia, and post norton did not
reveal any evidence of the disease. An
other doctor, who also believed hydro
phobia to be exceedingly rare, told of a

HOW THEY MAKE FOOLS OF US.

The case of the Chinese woman who was
arrested few days ago in this city for
larceny, on what was evidently a trumped
up charge, is only another instance of the
contempt in which the Chinese hold our
laws. 1t has been common thing to do,
as was done in this case, and return
fugitives to slavery of the most wretched
kind by the aid of our laws A slave
escapes a warrant is sworn out for her ar
rest on trivial charge; an officer of the
law searches for the fugitive and arrests
her. Immediately bail is given for her
appearance, and always by those who laid
the charge against her. She is thus again
in the hands of her masters" If the
Courts insist on the case being brought to
trial, thin disguise is assumed by the
prosecution, which makes up case that
it is intended from the outset shall fail.
Sometimes dummy husband is brought
forward, willing, as in this case, to be re-
married to the woman American fashion,"
as means of convincing the stupid
Caucasian that the slave is not a slave.
But all this miserable subterfuge is trans
parent. 1t is broad farce, with tragic
background. Slavery, and the basest kind
of slavery. is visible behind it. Dealers in
living human flesh and blood buy Chinese
women as they would cattle. They force
the human chattels to live in houses of in
fanny, that their ''owners' purses may be
fattened. When the victims grow old, or
rot with disease, they are turned out to
die or to be supported at the expense of
the American taxpayers. II, in despera
ton, they escape from bondage, the law is
invoked to regain control of them, and
Usually with complete success. The
mockery of trial is sometimes gone
through with, but oftenest the charge is
dismissed by the prosecution, and there
the matter ends. There would be fewer of
these outrages upon decency and the law
fewer of these cruel and merciless woman
a Jul NOUlu IclNSc "
permit the machinery of the law to be
made cafs-paw for villainous purposes.
The bar is supposed to represent deal of
dignity and honor and high-nindedness,
but it always happens that lawyers can be
found to aid the Chinese in these misuses
of the law. The potent {" fee covers the
the form of the law gives
seeming of regularity, and so the shame
less drama is every now and then repeated,
and society and the law and decency scan
dalized, while the cunning Chinese wonnar-
dealers ehuckle and laugh in their sleeves
at the stupidity of the despised American,
who, alas, has no kinship with the Celes-
tial Empire, and is entitled to no protec-
ton from the brother of the sun and the
sister of the moon.

lad who was barking and refusing water,
and claimed to have hydrophobia, but had
it all driven out of him in an instant BY
the application of a hot poker to his
spine. So, too, it was related that police
man who was barking and could not swal-
low water, "got away" with full glass of
brandy very handily. The unanimous
opinion was that hydrophobia is SO rare as
to practically leave no cause for fear that
people may be frightened into what appears
to be hydrophobia; that it is disease of
the nerve centers; that not one case in one
hundred claimed to be hydrophobia is So
and that all the medical profession know
regarding the cure of the genuine disease
could be written on ones thumb-nail, or,
as DR.. Rosa put it, "hydrophobia is yet
to be made up from the beginning"

THE London Lancet thinks that the ami
mostly with which men Of opposite politi-
cal views regard each other is out of all
proportion to their individual interest in
the questions on which they differ; and
that there are reasons for thinking that
" the mental disturbance set up by politi-
cal excitement may be specific disease. +"
This is refining matters altogether beyond
reason. In this country at least something
more of politico-manian among citizens
would give US cleaner elections, fewer
bosses, better administrations and more
economical government. The trouble is
in the United States that men do not
take political fevers who should. 1t is
here left to the few to manage the many,
and they do it to a nicely. What we want
is deeper personal interest by all in poIiti-
cal affairs, even to the animosity engen-
dered by opposing views.

Evening Session.

AT the opening of the evening session a
second ballot was taken, and resulted as
follows Smedberg, 63; Taylor, IS /;

The name of SLOVENIAN was then
dropped, in accordance with the rules.

61 Barnes Al, Barbour IS. No choice, and
Barbours name, under the rules, was then
dropped
Fourth -smedberg, II; Taylor,
90; Barnes, Al scattering, f. The name
of Barnes was then dropped.
Fifth ballot-There was intense excite
ment now, and when the fifth ballot was
concluded it was found that two or three
votes had been by mistake made in dupli-
cate The Commander, therefore, ordered
another ballot without announcing the re-
suit in detail.
Sixth and last ballot-The excitement
had now reached fever heat, and as the
sixth ballot proceeded, with nearly every
delegate keeping tally, the feeling, though
subdued, was intense. At the conclusion
of the call of the roll the Commander an
nounced the resnlt-Smedberg 1O9; Tay-
lor, 1ol. A storm of applause by Smed-
berg's friends broke ont at once, which
almost shook the building. The contest,
which has been long and spirited, was
closed. Colonel Taylor. who was beaten in
the race "only by nose at once
rose to his feet, and sought to be
heard, but the cheering prevented. When
the storm of applause and excitement had
sufficiently subsidized, he INDUCED in an
eloquent speech, happily accepting the
situation, warmly commencing his success

the election of Colonel Smedberg unan-

We have no intention of fattering the
ladies Of the W. r. c. On the contrary,
truth is our strong point, and fattery is
never truth. As for attempting to win the
favor of women by telling them of their
charms of face and manner, that we never
do. There is more manly and direct
method. The simple truth is that the local
bodies selecting delegates to the w. r. c.
Convention chose the flower of their re-
spective communities. The delegates are
as rule, remarkably fine-looking women,
with some real beauties. Intelligence and
modesty mark every countenance There
are more graceful figures, more women of
fine carriage and presence in the Conven-
ton than we have seen in any similar
body in years. This is no fiattery, but the
unadulterated truth, and the RECORD
UNION is prepared to fight it out on this
inc if it takes all summer.
