he made against such paralyzing odds attracted
much attention for the brilliancy and Vlgor Win
which il was pushed, and easily made MN nrst
choice of the Democrats OF the nrst district be-
fore the last nominating convention.
Hon. William Henry Clifford is an ardent advo-
cate of pure Jeffersonian Democracy, principles
which were grandy illustrated in the life of his
lamented father. He is possessed of abundant
means but unlike many in whom wealth seems to
wither manhood, and sere as with hot iron the
chords of human fellowship, Mr. Clifford is keenly
alive to the wants OF the toiling masses, has q9lek
sympathy with the deserving unfortunate, and II
goes without saying it that monopoly will have no
more Jealous, vigorous and untiring antagoniSt IN
Congress, than Mr.. Clifford from the First Dis
trct in Maine.
Hon William H. Clifford was chairman of the
Democratic State Convention held in Bangor on
the End of June last and his address on that DC
casion was mosaic OF spoken tnouSnls, gen4-
bearing and address on that occasion ne DuI WIZ
ened and deepened the fame he had already won
on the hustings as clear thinker, reauy ueDa'er'
and strong parliamentarian ana leader.
According to this biographer, Mr.. Clifford S
leading recommendations for Congress are
familiarity with the language and people OF
Mexico and muscle. MIR. Clifford's father
went to Mexico in 1913 and returned in 1S49.
If Mr.. Clifford is now about forty years OF
age, when he went to Mexico with his father
he must have been about two years old. We
do not know how precocious child Mr.. Cliff
ford was, but we very much doubt If tie I'M
pressions he received when two years OF age
will enable him "to take up Understandings
the question of our relations with the Repub-
lie beyond the Rio Grande." We have nc
hesitation in conceding to him all that is
claimed for him in the muscular line.

twenty five million feet of lumber the COM

left the State as boards and beams its manu-
facturer will have given employment to hum

left money and thrift behind it. This is bet

Dyspeptic Dwellers In the suburbs.

a very sensible physician who lives in
a fashionable suburb, tells ME that there
is not man residing in the village ant
doing business in Chicago who is not
dyspeptic. The cause of this, he says, is
well known among physicians practicing
in the suburban towns of large cities. 1t
is the effect of having to catch train.
The stomach is as easily prevented from
secreting the gastric juice as COW is
from giving down her milk. The COW
must be calm and happy or the milk will
not come; and the man must be quiet.
leisurely and free from anxiety when he
eats or the descent of food into his stom-
ach will produce very imperfect low
Of gastric juice, and tendency to fer
mentation and irritation instead of diges-
ton.
Now, these fellows that live in the SUI
burhs, SO my medical friend says, always
eat breakfast with the timetable in their
minds and their eyes on the clock. More
'ver, it often happens that they are a
few minutes late, and they make up foI
this by taking a good run TO catch the
train. This violent exercise aggrayates
the harm already done, and before the
man is aware uf it he has become a
chronic dyspeptic.-Cor. Chicago Jour-
nal.

The Fat from Sleeps Wool.

1t is altogether probable that the fatty
substance obtained from the wool OF
sheep-which has heretofore been treated
as waste matter, costly to get rid of,
and not worth preserving-will take rank
among the valuable staples of produc-
ton. In paper read by DIR. Thomas G.
Morton before the College of Physicians
of Philadelphia in April, he called atten-
ton to the value of this substance to the
medical fraternity, on account of its re-
markable compliance to capillary action,
developed when applied to the human
skin. 1t is so easily and rapidly absorbed
that it becomes a most convenient ve-
hicle for the introduction into the sys-
tenn of other Incorporated substances.
Being innocuous in itself it is an excel
lent base in the preparation of all oint-
ments and unguents intended for the ex-
ternal relief of disease.-Chicago Times.

THE reported consummation o.

The reported consummation of ne
gotiations for new extradion treaty
between the United States and Eng
land is gratifying intelligence. The
extradition clauses of the treaty of
1S42 provided extradition for only
seven crimes-murder, assault with
intent to commit murder, piracy,
arson, robbery, forgery and the utter
ance Of forged paper. In 1858 over
lures were renewed for revision and
enlargement of the list so as to include
manslaughter, counterfeiting, embez-
element, larceny, perjury, rape, abduc-
ton, child-stealing, kidnapping, bur-
glary, criminal destruction of proper.
ty, mutiny on shipboard. Perpetra-
tors of these last mentioned crimes In
the United States have been able to
find safe refuge in Canada, and vice
versa. That such state of affairs has
so long existed is due to the fact that
our government declined. during the
correspondence about Winslow, the
Boston forger, to become subject to
the act of the British parliament OF
1870, which stipulated that the prison
or should not be tried for any offense
save the one expressly stated Ia the
application for extradion. Our gov
ernment held that the secretary OF
state had the right to determine what
was or was not political offense.
Dynamiters are said to be included in
the new treaty.-Pioneer Press.

A Curious Fact Not Understood.

was conyersing with local physi-
clan, of no mean scientific standing and
attainment, on the subject of anasthesia,
and he told me that it was a curious
fact, not generally understood, that an
accelerated circulation of the blood,
however produced, would cause pro-
portional insensibility to pain. This ac-
celeiation, he said, might be produced
by taking nitrous oxide, called laughing
gas, or by running violently up flight
of stairs, or by simply breathing rapidly.
1t instantly occurred to me that this
was anexplanation of several phenomena
in this line. Eye:y one who has received
q wound in battle, or who has been
pounded and scratched in iist-fight,
knows how that he was at first wholly
or partly insensible to these injuries.
This insensibility is usually attributed,
and properly enuIgh, to excitement"
but il is not generally known that ex-
citement produces it by means of a
quickened circulation.-Cor. Chicago
Journal.

The loss of cattle on the trail the
present season, says the Ell Paso Tex
International Live Stock Journal, is
without parallel in the history of the
range cattle business. The range is
strewn with carcasses. This has re-
suited from several causes. The herds
were as rule in poor condition for
starting. The drouth made grass and
water short along the trail and the
general occupation of the range leaves
but little room for travelling herds.
The occupants of the ranges along the
trail have thrown every obstacle in
the way and the owners of herds have
found difficulty in crossing every
political boundary line.
These difficulties are not only insur-
mountable, but from their nature
must increase every year, and we
doubt if many, with the experience Of
the present season before their eyes,
will care to repeat. There Is every in
dicatiOn that the trail Is thing of the
past. A narrow strip set aside for
trail purposes does not fill the bill and
will not furnish the grass necessary to
sustain travelling herds.
Cattle men have got to face this
changed condition and arrange for
rail transportation. This change is
becoming an absolute necessity. 1t
will prove beneficial to Texas cattle
men. The death of cattle on the trail
from poverty Of flesh and lack of water
is known to breed disease among herds
along the line, ard it gives color to
the allegations of disease among
Texas cattle, and is responsible for a
large measure of the hostility to Texas
cattle.

Malaria Is Often but Laxiness.

A Philadelphia physician says that a
great deal of what passes for heart dis
ease is only mild dyspepsia, that nervous.
aess commonly is bad temper, and that
two-thirds of so-called malaria is nothing
but laziness. Imagination, he says, is
responsible for multitude of ills, and he
gives as an instance the case of a clergy
man who after preaching sermon would
take teaspoonful of sweetened water,
and doze of like babe, under the i'm
preston that it was bona fide sedative.

Tuesday, July 40, 1886.

CALIFORNIA is just coming to her
cents. A recent dispatcn from San
Francisco relates that several firms In
that city are trying to introduce them
into their business transactions, but
find considerable difficulty in doing
so. Ever since gold dust took the
place of coined money in the COM
merce of the coast, and change was
made by using large or small pinches,
as the case might be, the people of
California have entertained most
hearty contempt for the small coins.
The nickel was long time in finding
its way into circulation there-though
such an important factor in the
measurement of values on this side of
the Rockies. The return of the
smaller coins into general use east of
the mountains was a result of "close
times" and their appearance in the
financial transactions of the Golden
Gate may be accepted as the evidence
of a return from that spirit of extrava-
gance and recklessness in business
customs and personal habits to which
the people of the far west, and partic-
ularly the mining west, have always
been addicted. The housekeeper in
the middle and eastern states finds 1t
important to take careful account of
the cents and the family purveyor in
San Francisco or Oakland will soon
learn to appreciate the wastefulness of
the old practice where the benefit of
the two or three odd cents in the re-
tail transaction invariably went to the
dealer.
