The Democrats of Indiana have nominated a
State ticket composed of men who are active
workers, and have the advantage of political ex
perience and skill. Herein is an element of
strength and success which Republicans cannot
well ignore. Fancy craftsmanship is very we'll
in an ornamental sense, but is easily beaten by
rough-and-ready ability in common working

of course. but platform seldom amounts to
anything practical at best; and what could we

Nobody Was Punished,

Once when DR.. Nathaniel Prentice
was head master of public school at
Roxburgh, he threatened 20 punish
with six blows Of heavy ruler the frs:
boy who should be found whispering.
In order that he might not omit pun.
ishing those who deserved it, he ap-
pointed certain number of boys US
detectives
Soon afterwards, one of them called
out:
John Zigler is whispering"
John was called up and answered:
"Yes. was whispering, but ] really
was not aware what was about. I
was working out new sum. and asked
the boy who was next to me to hand
me an arithmetic that contained the
rule | wanted to see"
Now John was great favorite both
with master and pupils, and DR.. Prem
tice regretted at once the hasty threat
he had made: still. he told John he
could not allow him to whisper, or
even to escape the promised punish
ment.
Il wish l could avoid IL, but can
not without breaking my word. Now
will leave it to any three boys you
like 70 choose, to say whether or not
shall omit the punishment.
John agreed TO this, and called up
three boys, who after talking for some
little time. said:
THE masters word must be kept.
John must receive the threatened six
blows, but they must be given TO volun-
tary substitutes. We three will share
the punishment BY receiving two blows
each.
John now stepped forward with out
stretched hand.
mo, no, SIR he exclaimed, "they
shall not be struck blow. Twill re-
ceive the punishment"
Under pretense of wiping his face.
the doctor shielded his eyes, which
filled with tears, and, telling the boys
to return to their seats, he said he
would remember that scene to his dying
day. Needless to say, the punishment
was never inflicted. Little Folks.

Danger of Wearing Earnings.

DR.. NORM, in his work on the hygie-
mics of beauty, makes dead set against
earrings. In numbers of cases he has
known erysipelas to proceed from their
use. The idea that they are good for
weak eyes he quite disposes of. 1t is
possible, he says, that in cases of in
famed eyes they might act as counter
irritant, but if they did they would
keep the lobe of the ear, which, not
being rich in blood-vesscls, has little re-
Operative vitality, in state of perma-
nent liberation. There is no surer test
of a good or bad constitution than the
state of an ear which has been pierced
and exposed to the irritation of heavy
earrings. If the lobes keep red and
swollen they proclaim bad blood and
scrofulous tendencies. - Paris Cor.

Robert Fulton's Boyhood.

The boyhood OF the famous Robert
Fulton, of steamboat ren0wn. was
passed at Lancaster, Pa. Here are
some anecdotes of him while he was at
school there: On one occasion his
teacher reprovod him for neglecting
his books, and the reproof was admin
istered after the manner of 1.-THE old
masters with ferule on the knuck-
les.
Robert Strengthened himself, folded
his arms, and then said to MIR. John
son:
"Sir, came here to have something
beat into my head, and not into my
hand"
On another occasion he came late,
and when the teacher asked the reason.
Robert answered that he had been at
Mr. Miller's shop pounding out lead to
make a pencil. In proof of this state
ment he exhibited the pencil. and said
it was the best he ever had in his life.
Mr.. johnson approved it, and gave
the youth some words of encourage
ment, and in a few days nearly all the
other pupils were supplied with pencils
% the same kind.
~ lit is said that when Mr.. johnson
(bf ce urged him to give more attention
20 his studies, the boy answered thai
his head was $50 full OF original notions

THE OPIUM HABIT.
How . Case OF Long standing Was Cured
Easily and Effectively.

Easily and Effectively.
There can be little doubt that much
of the distress resulting from absti-
nence from an accustomed stimulant,
whatever it be. is due to imagination,
and in some cases victims of the habit
have cured themselves by the exertion
simply of q strong determination to
take no more. In large number of
cases, however, the indulgence has
produced a complete paralysis of will.
power, and then some method of
judicious medical treatment is neces-
sary. although even then success does
not always follow. An account of an
ingenious mode of etfecting the cure
of a long-indulged opium habit is given
in the Medical World by DR.. r. II.
Dalton. The patient was first allowed
for week TO take her usual quantity
of morphine in the form of a mixture
containing also five drops of nuX
vomica and one-quarter grain quininc
in each dose, and colored with tincture
of lavender. Then for twenty weeks
the amount of morphine was lessened
every seven days by one-twentieth.
and, at the same time. the tincture in
creased by one drop and the quinine by
one-quarter grain at each change, I'M
til the morphine was left entirely out.
In the meantime, however, the quinine
was not augmented after the ninth
week, but ten drops of elixir of vitrlol
added to each dose taken afterwards.
The diminution of morphine was
minute and gradual. and the taste be-
{! ing the same, the patient was unable
to detect any change whatever during
the four months treatment. As soon
as DR.. Dalton became satisfied that the
habit was entirely in the mind, he an
nounced that she had not taken a
particle of morphine for two weeks.
(, As soon as she understood this the
spell was broken. and she wanted nc
more morphine. her health had be-
come very much improved. and hei
gratitude seemed unbounded. DR.
Dalton thinks that if recourse to stimu'
lants be prevented during the curing Of
the opium habit. any physician may
succeed with this plan.zBritssh ana

The Saylngs OF Benton.

The Republican newspapers are amusing
themselves with publications of the
speeches that were made by United States
Attorney Benton, of Missouri, during the
campaign, which show him TO be a fire
proof silver currency man, and opposed to
what he cons dercd TO be the position of
the president upon the currency, and also
upon the question of civil service
reform. We do not know how ac-
curate their reports of Attorney Benton's
views may be, and we do not see that it is
ma erial at all 10 the question of his contin-
uance in his office under the president s
views as expressed in reinstatirg him. The
president declares that the political admin
istration of the nation was entitled
to expect from its chief officials q
loyal support of its policy, and that
it would not be expected to keep in
their official places men who wagged their
tongues and used their powers against
them. But it is one thing to criticise and
disapprove certain deeds and opinions of
tanning generally the party to which he
belongs, and to challenge those acts and
opinions while opposing that party.
Mr.. Benton was a Democrat, urging
Democratic success. He was sustaining the
party of the president and sustaining the
president. The Democratic party happens
to be one in which free speech is popular
and in which different shades of opinions
on political questions are held, and very
different opinions upon some important
| issues. 1t is not unanimous on the cur
rency, the tariff and civil service reform
But it stands together as a party in behalf
Of the majority position on all issues, and
there the president and Attorney Benton
both stand and the attorney supported
the administration in supporting the Dem
oCratic party, however heteroiox his opiu.

LANCASTER. DECEMBER 2, lsss.
The New Broom .

whe new management of the Reading
railroad company is sweeping very clean
with its broom, and there is great commo-
tion among the old officers and employees
because of the removals, changes, reduc-
tion of salaries and abolition of free passes
even to them. 1t has long been an open
secret that there was room for changes and
for reduction of salaries in the Reading
railroad force, where the lapse o time had
fastened number of barnacles on the ship.
an1 no doubt the present movement is
wise one, although it will naturally be ac-
companied by individual acts of injustice.
The part of it which most interests the
public is the abolition of the free passes
which is done so completely as even to deny
them to the roads employees travelling on
Its business. The general judgment
will be that this is the only proper
way to make this reform. While passes to
employees are granted thay will be issued
to people who are in no way entitled to be
SO classed. All the distant dependents Of
the road, its lawyers, doctors, directors,
brokers, bankers, and everyone in any
imaginable way remotely connected with
it, and all their wives and children, will
claim passes as its employees. 1t is easy
enough to pay an employe the amount Of
his fare and let him buy his ticket and
the new management of this company de-
serve to be sustained for their undertaking
to accomplish the abolition Of what is a
public evil as well as a wrong TO the carry
ing company.
1t is fairly astonishing to see the readi-
ness with which people, who should re-
spect themselves more, accept these rail-
road passes. 1t is most discreditable
thing to do, in fact, and the great woLdar
Is that men OF apparent honor do not see
1t. They would not accept d gift, but they
grab for pass. The only Imaginable rea-
son is that pass is supposed to confer a
distinction upon the possessor, and to be
given to him as man of influence;
though in truth it would seem that it
saoald be Stunned as badge of servitude.
Railroad managers all claim that they
struggle unayailingly against the pressure
upon them for passes, and doubtless they
will welcome the example now set by them
by the Reading and will follow it if it at.
tains its end. When railroads are honestly
and economically managed, and so that
the stockholders reap all their fruits, the
public will have the advantage in
cheapened transportation. 1t is true
that these speculators, who have
undertaken the charge of the Reading
property, are doing it for their profit, and
charge a big commission for their services
which the public in the end will have to
pay; but it is none the less in the public in
terest that they are not disposed to allow
any but themselves to take any of the fat
off the property and are determined that
their slice shall be the last.
