JOHN LOGAN has the presidential bee
and he hopes to further his chances by
ostentatious concern for the old soldier.
He has become professional in this
matter and opposes Fitz John Porter be-
cause he fancies it will aid him in his
designs on the presidency. 1t is all a
matter of policy with Logan; his action
has in it not one element of desire to do
justice. This is the great trouble with
popular movements; the demagogue is
too prompt to move and cast discredit
upon the undertaking. 1t was 30 with
Ben Butler and the laborers. 1t will be
SO until the end of time.
Whoever heard of General Bragg or
Congressman Rankin counting the soldier
vote by studying their prejudices? And
yet the soldiers have no warmer friends
than these two men. But Bragg works
to right a wrong done gallant soldier
though he knows sickly sentiment
throughout the north makes the thing
unpopular. When a man like Bragg,
who dales TO fight for justice against
popular clamor, advocates pensioning
soldiers, no doubts will be cast upon his
motives, and no suspicion will be enter
tanned that he is seeking to benefit him
self, This is not the case with Logan,
and it is generally believed he is making
political capital for himself.

TIE MAD-DOG SCARE.

Medical Times: The announcement
of Pasteur to the French academy, last
October, that he had solved the problem
OF the prevention of hydrophobia by
means of hypodermic injections of NOR
bid material, has attracted much atten-
ton to the subject, and, owing to the
highly favored reports published In the
daily papers, many persons who have
been bitten by dogs believed to be mad
have been sent to him to be treated by
his method. 1t is stated that he has in
view the establishment of an institution
In Paris for the treatment of such cases.
Similar institutions have also been pro-
jec ed in London, New York, st. Louis
and elsewhere
With regard to the matter, it is we'll to
bear in mind that rabies Gamma is rare
disease in this country, and that only
comparatively few persons annually are
bitten by dogs that are really mad. OF
those bitten authorities state that fully
sc per cent will escape having the dis
ease, even without any treatment what
ever; in others immediate and thorough
cauterIzation of the wound is pronounced
an almost infallible means OF preventing
the future development of the disease.
When the precaution of thorough cauter-
ization has been taken, especially it COM
bined with excision, as recommended by
Gross, it is believed that the danger to
be apprehended from subsequent hydro
phobia is light, and the necessity for the
establishment of institutions for Pasteur-
ization, therefore, infinitely small.
Moreover, one OF his patients, the pa
per states, has since died with hydropho-
bia, although the incubation had been
practiced. Here the failure was attribut-
ed to the lapse of time between the bite
and the hypodermio puncture-tbirty
five days having been rather arbitrarily
set as the limit beyond which the treat
ment is useless. Before this treatment
is generally adopted the question must
be considered: What is the danger from
the inoculations themselves Erysipelas
and septicamia may be not too heavy
price to pay for immunity from such
dread and fatal disease; but is there any
possibility of the incubation of the ma
teries morbi giving rise to the very dis
ease which the bitten one is most anxious
to avoid2 We cannot help regarding
this new development of isopathy with
some mistrust, at least until it rests upon
a more secure foundation. In the mean
time we can but depreciate the evident
popular craze upon the subject, which
originated in premature and partial &C
counts in the public press.

INGERSOLL'S IDEA OF HEAVEN

Col. R. G. Ingersoll was for many
years resident of Peoria, says The
Chicago Herald, and some of the old
residents of that sect on do not hesitate
to assert that at times he indirectly ad-
mitted the existence of an endless place
of torment which he now claims does not
exist. As an instance of this, and also
to show the readiness at repartee of the
colonel, the following story is told: Sew
eral years ago, when he was in the prime
of his law practice in Peoria, the colonel
happened to have as a client young and
buxom widow over in Washington, Taze-
well county The opposing counsel was
the late Jonathan K. Cooper, as staunch
a Presbyterian as lie was able lawyer.
At the close of the evidence Mr.. Cooper
arose and made splendid argument on
mis- side of the case, closing by saying
that his legal opponent was preJudlced
when it came to defending beautiful
women. "Why," said Mr.. Cooper.
"when Col. Ingersoll gets a chance to
work in law case for handsome woman
he forgets all law, all logic, and every
thing except her attractions. and you,
gentlemen of the jury, have no doubt
had evidence of the truth of this during
the progress of the trial" After the
venerable Presbyterian closed Col. Iuger
soil arose, with twinkle in his eye, and
rIowly and solemniy commenced as fol-
lows: "Gentlemen of The jury, the coun-
sci on the other side is correct. [ dc
have leaning in the direction of beauti
fnl women. do love beautiful woman
I love the Preside about which play dear
children, presided over by a smiling,
beautiful mother. tell you what it is
gentlemen of the jury, 1 would rather
much rather-if | had my choice, be in
HI fifteen minutes, sitting on hard
wooden bench, beside a woman as beau
tiful as Cleopatra than to reside a life
time in Heaven singing psalms with Jon
athan X. Cooper" The jury, court
lawyers, and spectators roared with
laughter, in which Mr.. Cooper was fore
ed to join, and Col. Ingersoll and his
beautiful client came out ahead.

The Ohio democrats have done much
to lift the cloud which has long rested
upon them, by making Thurman their
nominee for the United States senate.
But now, notice the choice which will be
made by the Ohio legislature. Thurman
has always fought for the people and was
one of the few champions they had in
the senste. Railroad companies are said
to have spent hundreds of thousands of
dollars in Ohio to get him out of the
senate, and they succeeded. John Sher-
man is better known as an unpriLcipled
politician than as a statesman. His co.,
nection with the frauds of Louisiana
should forever debar him from official
position, aud of late years he has been o
stirrer up of sectional strife for political
purposes. Here is the peoples friend
opposed to this self-seeking politician
and without ghost of chance for sue
cess. This is how the people reward
their friends, and it is why they have so
few in high places. The "Old Roman"
has nothing to expect but defeat

Ii is said mill is arranged between
Ryan and Sullivan for $500 a side.
Only ten men will be present to see the
tiuht which will be in room. In the
meantime Paddy's mother has died and
iuterfered with arrangements. 1t will be
remembered Paddy's mother became
conveniently sick on former occasion
when Ryan and the Boston slugger were
matched for iussle. 1t will hardly be
charged that the old lady died "a pur-
pose" to balk the fight. The people Of
Troy are confident their champion will
come out ahead and are putting money
up on him.

NEWSPAPER LYING.

New York Post: Moreover there is il
the worst newspaper lying-that Is, lying
about the private lives and character of
individua!s-so much money that 1t is
almost asking too much of newspaper
proprietors to ask them to refuse to in
dulge in it. One of the most melancholy
social phenomena of the day is the appe
tite of large portion of the community
for odds and ends of gossip. no matter
hiw dirty or how CHASTITY. The vendors
oft it fiud that it does not, as far as the
returns are concerned, make the slight.
est difference whether it is true or false.
In fact. they find that the corrections or
contradictions of amusing or thrilling
stories onl,' bore their readers, and there
fore they do not make them. The more
of such stuff journal Publishes the
"newsier' it is considered This is, in
fact, so much the case that the word
''news" has ceased in the journalistic
vocabulary to connote truthfulness. 1t
means simply something which, no mat
ter how big lie it may be, the reader
has not seen before and which is likely
to entertain him for two or three minutes
The condition of mental vacuity and
vapidity, and to say imbecility, 10 which
a very large portion of the youth of the
great cities is being reduced by dawdiing
over this stuff every day, as the only in
tellectnal food IL something which NOR
alists may well contemplate with concern,
for the appetite is stimulated by the
food. The more of it a man swallows
the more he wants, aud the less interest
ed he becomes in the serious things of
life, in the real affairs of the nation, in
the great events of the day, IN the doings
and sayings of leading men, and the
progress of great movements, and the
ups aid downs of his own race. A per-
son who spends twenty minutes of his
morning reading minute account of the
suicide of a drunken washer woman, with
out caring in the least whether it ever
occurred, and greatly enjoys it. is in no
mood, even if he had any time left, for
the discussion of any topic, no matter
how grave, which does not touch bis

WHEN the time comes that bigot may
be laughed at and his silly mouthings
will not provoke anger, long step will
be made toward the millinnium. The
re-appoir tluent of Pulcifer did not raise
such a howl of objection as was expected
Every one comedies his excellence Id an
officer, and as we'll his offensiveness as a
partisan. But a brainless bigot writes
The Milwaukee Sentinel that he was
reappointed because the democrats had
no one in their ranks fit for the position,
and then goes on to abuse the hungry
rascals.
The Sentinel should allow that fellow
to spew his mouthful of petty intoler-
ance in some low doggery. 1t ia the only
place suited for such utterances. 1t is
astonishing how these numskulls fancy
they have all the Intelligence in this
country. That ass, while writing his
silly composition, no doubt did SO with
tongue lolling out because of the diff
Guilty of the unaccustomed task Of writing.

THE N. 7. Tribune is one of the most

THE N. 7. Tribune is one of the most
ridiculously amusing papers on the CONT
nent when it discusses politics or protec
ton. 1t argues that protection aids the
laborer and builds up manufactures
But it wants to go farther and show that
the people generally can purchase manu-
featured articles cheaper than if there
was no protective tariff. 1t says Ameri-
can made steel rails are sold cheaper
than they can be delivered here from
England. What is the need of protec-
tive tariff then? Why should manufac-
turers clamor for its continuance 1t
would seem that the inability of English
manufacturers to compete with those of
the United States makes all talk of pro-
lection unnecessary. How is the laborer
protected? 1t cannot be that the higher
price paid for steel rails because of pro-
lection insures him higher wages, for we
are told the prices are lower under pro-
tective tariff then they would be under
free trade. Then the laborer should be
free trader if high prices bring better
wages, The Tribune goes farther and
states that the competition encouraged
by protection must necessarily result in
lower prices and following out this line
of thought forgets the laborer and even
the interest of the manufacturer, and
says SO true is this that mills have shut
down because of low prices. The very
argument free traders use. The high
prices which protection insures for sea-
son, stimulates that particular industry
to an unreasonable extent and draws cap
ital from legitimate investments in the
hope of making immense profits through
the opportunities offered by the robber
tariff. Labor is also attracted from en-
ployment where it would receive reason
able and steady compensation. But the
bubble bursts and capital lies idle and
labor goes unemployed. These are some
of the results of protection lsaping
from one extreme to another, an unset
tied condition in business matters, dis
satisfaction of labor because of the IN
certainty of employment and irregular
rates of wages.

The Chicago Tribune in speaking of
the Irish agitators, says: cit is the men
who joke and drink and bluster little,
and who think more that the opponents
of Irish aspirations profoundly fear
The silence of Psrnel has been prodig-
ious power for good" Just as coon as
the Irish people abandoned buster and
went to work quietly and determinedly
they wrung concessions from England.
The lesson will be good one though it
will not wholly remove the national
characteristic to indulge in grandiOse
talk. The younger men are correcting
the fault in themselves and no longer
take much stock in big talk.

The trial of John Kerwin at Oshkosh
for outraging Dolly LaGrange while re-
turning with her from ball, is in pro-
gress. The girl committed suicide after
she reached home and left letter ad-
dressed to her brother accusing Kerwin
of having effected her ruin but begging
that Pc be allowed to remain unmolested
1t is now whispered that the girl was
somewhat wild and that Kerwin stands a
good chance of being acquitted. A post
norton examination was held but it was
not clear that force had been used. A
great deal of interest is manifested in
tLe trial

KERwIN was convicted Of an assault
simply and his punishment will be mere
IL nominal. This is one Of the cases in
which rules of evidence are made to de-
feat Justice. The girls letter WAS ruled
out and in accordance with we'll recog-
nized rules. But in this instance it lie
feated justice. He was responsible for
the girls death and there is no one who
does not believe he outraged her. Nor
does it materially lessen the crime that it
is said she was so wild that she did not
seem to value her virtue highly. The
fact that she committed suicide shows
how keenly she felt her disgrace. This
is one of the cases in which the Judge
might ignore precedent SO IS to bring q
scoundrel to justice.

ALEXANDER SULLIVAN, once President
of the Irish Land League, and Kelley of
Minnesota, are having little row through
the papers, owing to the latter's having
declined to pay his subscription to the
Irish Parliamentary fund on the ground
that he had lost confidence in Sullivan be-
cause of his attempt to turn the League
over to the republican party last fall
Sullivan writes quite vigorously and init.
mates strongly that Kelley is liar and
knows he is. Notwithstanding this, Sui
livan's actions last fall hurt the Irish
cause great deal in this country.

The Evening Wisconsin makes the
discovery that no ex.soldier who is a
democrat can be found in the northwest
80 comprehensively riddled by rebel
bullets as Captain Ferguson, pension
agent, who is republican. 1t seems
that in the past the republicans were
satisfied with claiming that they had all
the Intelligence. Now it seems they lay
claiE to the capacity for bullet perfora-
tons. 1t is very funny how democrat
cannot be "shot to pieces" 'riddled
with bullets, ."carry load of lead, -

OLD Thurman decided in favor of the
workingmen in the case submitted to
him as to whether miners should receive
60 or so cents per ton for mining coal.
The miners of course wanted 60 cents
per ton, and the owners in the 'interest
of the laborer" wanted to pay only SOC.
1t was agreed to leave the matter to
Thurman. If Thurman WAS candidate
for the suffrage of the miners against
some corporation tool, wouldn't they
slaughter the cold Romau!'
