make. 1t is not jumped-up cure-all

scientific combination of the best

blended together that no other medi-

effects it produces. w. ii. Patterson

A YOUNG man lately left New York for
trip to Europe to restore his health, of
whom singular story is told as explana-
tory of the manner in which he lost his
health, or his mind. rather, as his all
ment was insanity. He was a medical
student, an unusually bright one. He
had purchased subject for dissection,
the body of a young woman frozen to
death in sitting posture. She was
brought to the dissecting room, in the
same attitude in which she was frozen,
one arm being raised to her head. The
student found the flesh too solidly frozen
to be easily cut, and was about to quit
the room when he noticed a peculiar
tumor on the leg. 1t attracted his at
tention and he proceeded to examine it.,
and became SO interested that time passed
unheeded.' In the meantime the warmth
of the room was thawing the frost from
the uplifted arm and it slowly descended
until it was laid on his neck. Startled
as he was, to his excited imagination it
appeared that the corpse was smiling
mockingly at him. He rushed home but
always felt that dead hand on his neck
and soon lost his mind. Re-attempted
suicide by hanging, but was revived
after long continued effort. But the
haunting fear had left him and his mind
was restored. To complete his recovery
a trip was taken to Europe.

GLADSTONE studied history in prepar
ing his home rule scheme. He saw from
the past what the future demanded and
knew that any scheme which did not
recognize the principle that a people
must govern themselves, must necessar-
lily be only an expedient and fail of pro-
ducing the permanent tranquility desired.
The tories with their liberal allies NAV
grant some privileges which may be q
step in the right direction, but can not
and will not remove the discomfort now
prevailing in Ireland. Gladstone's
measure will have to come in time and
as Gladstone said, if not conceded volun-
tarily, then will it come through Eng
lands extremity and will be concession
wrung and not a right bestowed. The
tories and unionists are short-sighted in
craftsmanship and the future will DEM
onstrate this while fully indicating
Gladstone. The Irish people will accept
no half measures and they are rapidly
growing into the condition in which they
can make demands. The English con-
stituencies have made mistake and one
which will cost them humiliation to
rectify.

The Sentinel claims it is the demo-
cratic press which is trying to inject the
Milwaukee riot question into the state
campaign. The facts will hardly bear
that statement out. Not until after the
riots had ended was the nomination of
Rusk conceded. It was his "suppress-
ion' of the riots which silenced all sug-
gestions of change in the ticket so far
as he was concerned, and almost every
republican paper was filled with fulsome
praise of him because of the promptness
and executive ability he displayed.
When some of the democratic papers
characterized the Bay View matter in
fitting terms, the cry was raised that the
democratic party was seeking an alliance
with anarchists. The riots were used by
the republican press as boom for Rusk.
Thus far it has been successful. There
is not republican paper in the state
not an abject slave to party, which
gives any credit to Rusk for the Bay
View massacre. He no doubt regrets
it himself; he certainly does if he has
any humanity.

JUDGE SLOAN sentenced Hirth, Simon
and Palm on Monday, giving each of
them nine months IN the house of cor
rection at hard labor. Each of the
prisoners spoke in his own behalf, Simon
becoming frantic with rage; Hirth spoke
with moderation. This punishment will
aid in checking these cranks from using
any instrument more dangerous than
their mouths. A lazy lot of ruffians they
are, dissatisfied with their poverty and
too incident to better their condition and
superadded to this a love of notoriety.
They are lacking in the courage needed
to be leaders in any movement which
invites danger, but being allowed to talk
so long with impunity they came to
believe they might go farther and escape
punishment. The labor troubles were
their opportunity and these valiant men
sought to infame passions whose prompt.
ings they did not have courage to follow.
There is nothing in their whole lives to
call for sympathy. They were not driven
to violation of the laws through the
sense of any wrong. They encouraged
disturbance for the love of notoriety and
in the house of correction at hard labor
they cannot pose as martyrs.

1t is astonishing how many people
there are who are excellent judges of

could conduct one SO much more ably
than any one at present engaged in the
business. eff 1 was only running that
paper" is always the preface to some
fault-fnding the cause for which would
not exist if the person giving his opinion
was only in the editorial harness. AS a
rule, such persons are lamentable failures
IN the business in which they are engag
ed, but they can do so much better in a
line of business of which they know
nothing, that they really feel the world
has sustained loss because they did not
enter what is grandiloquently styled
Journalism" Editing a paper is all
''fun" to these persons whose knowledge
is wholly intuitive, and they are just
brimful of ideas which would make them
famous if they could only be given to the
public through the medium of the press.

HE Green Bay correspondent of The
Oshkosh Times says A. l.. Gray will be
a candidate for the senate and on the
issue of the manner in which he acted
at Chiffon. MIR. Gray had better not
challenge too close a scrutiny of his
desertion from Hudd. If he can get
friends of Mr.. Hudd to believe that
the change nominated their favorite, it
is well; possibly it did. But let the
motive go undiscussed. 1t will leave
Mr.. Gray in better condition for the
senatorial race. He owes great deal to
federation now, and he is unwise to invite
criticism by taking credit when he knows
it is not deserved.
