money market, the interstate commerce bill
and late in the day the unfavorable
/ bank statement. The most was made out of
these, and the forenoon saw prices materially
lower though the purchases for foreign ac-
count prevented the dizziness from assuming
large proportions, but later in the day the
heavy sales of long stock, induced by the
frightening of the weak holders, produced
another decided slump. Support was ac-
corded the market by the leading bulls in the
last hour, and better feeling then prevailed.
No stock escaped the attack. and declines diff
fer only in degree, though some of the spec
ialties showed very wide fluctuations on
small business. The course of prices was
downward in the early trading, aud after q
slight rally was resumed before noon. After
that time the dizziness was accelerated, and
was not checked until the last hour, when q
material recovery took place and the market
closed active and firm. Sales, $40 shares.

Sample Republican Reform.

The record of General Black and
that of his predecessor in the Pension
Office are matters of comparison and
contrast, on which no judicious hepub-
lican organ will needlessly concentrate
public attention. General Black went
into Office as head of the Pension Bu-
reau March II. 1885. His record as
Union soldier is too well-known to need
rehearsal here. His appointment was
everywhere recognized as one emil
nently fit to be made. Entering upon
his duties, what was the state of affairs
which he found as to the officeholders
under himp The Office had been in
Republican hands for twenty years.
For more than half that time the Re-
publican party had been pledged
publicly in all its conventions, State
and national, to the great principal of
.'divorcing patronage from politics.
On the 11th of March, 1885, the day
General Black went into Office, there
were 14S special examiners in the Pen
sion Department., and not one of the
entire twelve dozen and four was q

What q Doctor Has to Say on q Topic OF
Univers i Interest.
The custom of kissing has been con-
demned by the wise and frowned upon
by the religious, but has managed to
thrive despite it all, and is still loves
great artillery and best ally. Why tao
tile sensations from limited labial
surface have been found SO very agree
able. and why they should have con-
tributed so much to the poet-race, are
questions quite worthy of full discus
sion. Kissing, we are told, began with
the birds and reaches its most perfect
evolution in man. 1t has a long his
tory, therefore, and may well be con-
sidered permanent feature of human
society - solacing grief, increasing
joys, promoting wedding engagements
and furnishing permanent source of
inspiration for the artist.
But an enemy to the kiss has ap-
peared in Washington, d. c., in the
person of DIR. Samuel S. Adams, who
devotes seven columns of the Journal
of the Amertcae Medical association to
exposing the dangers of kissing"
Every thing has its dark side. The dark
side of kissing, as viewed by DIR.
Adams, is both moral and physical.
Among women and between children
and adults it has degenerated into an
insincere, unmeaning and common
place salutation, when it should be re-
served only as an index of affectionate
feeling. But the weight of the doctor s
argument is expended in showing the
possible evils which come from the
promiscuous kissing of babies and
children by adults. tuberculosis,
diphtheria, infectious fevers-all are
possible on actual results of kissing. A
veritable instance is cited-in which the
drum of the ear was ruptured by kiss
applied to the auricular appendage! A
kiss of such suction force reminds one
of Benedict's, which had ''such clam
orous smack that, at the parting, all
the church did echo. .n-Medicdl Record.
