The Editorial Excursion.
Texas siftings.

Once upon a time real editor, by
some strange chance, found himself a.
long with one of those editorial excur-
sions that you frequently read about.
There were a couple Of hundred in the
party, but lie was the only real editor
among them, and be felt very lonesome.
Not only that, but he was looked upon
with suspicion and mistrust by the 9TH
er fellows, who wondered what busi-
ness he had there. anyhow. One vet
eran traveller on deai-head pass that
he wasn't entitled to, said he had been
on scores of editorial excursions, and
that was the first time that an editor,
that is to say. real bona-fide editor,
had ever shown up. II this thing was
encouraged he felt that the editorial ex-
cursion was doomed. Its epitaph might
Us well be written. So with one accord
they all sat down ON the solitary editor,
and made it so uncomfortable for him
that he got off the train at the first stop
ping place and returned home.

of Acute Rheuama-
fiSm.
Lancet.

The last number of the Russkaya
Meditsina contains communication
from DR.. L. Grinevetski, of Rostotf- on
the-DOn, who writes that for more than
twenty years he has treated acute ar
tlcular rheumatism with nitrate of pot
ash, two drachms being given daily in
rasberry sirup and dose administered
every two hours. Together with this in
ternal medication he prescribes an
ointment for use morning and evening
OF the following composition Olei
hyosc., l o.; ung. hydrarg. cinerie, 2
dr.; ext. acon., DIR. He has tried all
ordinary remedies, and finds that on the
whole this plan of treatment is more
satisfactory than any other, being espe-
clally valuable in those eases where sa-
licylates fail to give relief. Generally
the disease is brought to an end in
from one to two weeks, according to it's
severity and the time the treatment
was commenced. When commenced at
the onset OF the attack, and before more
than one joint was affected, the others
were usually spared altogether.

Some Irish Stories.

Wit has not entirely died out il
Ireland. Judge keogh, who, by th,
way, was hated OF all men in Ireland
was one day adjudicating in case
the point of which had reference to {
document that the defense endeavoreC
to show had been signed when the
prosecutor was drunk. Under cross.
examination the following dialogue
took place in court:
The defending barrister-" Now, sir
will you tell his Lordship what you
had to drink on that occasion before
you signed the document ?"
Indeed, Your Honor" said the wit
ness, " don't think a gentleman need
say what he had to drink for dinner.
- think you are bound to answer
the question: said Judge keogh,
solemnly.
did you take sherry, sir?" deman-
ded the barrster.
o." ,"WeIl, We L. YES, yes: !, | had couple of
And did you take claret and cham
pagne ~
mo; l don't drink either,n was the
answer.
"Now, sir, after dinner did you
have whisky ?"
Certainly I had some whisky"
"Now, on your oath, did you have
three glasses of Whisky ?"
Il must appeal to your Lordship.
Am | bound to answer the question 2"
"Yes," answered keogh, with a
laugh, :" / think you are"
Every WE'LL" replied the witness,
:" had three glasses of whisky"
"Now, sir, will you say it was not
five?"
Again | appeal to your LordsLip,n
said the witness, and, meeting with
no answer, said: "Well, yes, it was
five.n
will you swear, sir, it was not
ten p
A mute glance of appeal toward the
Bench, and then came the answer:
:" will not swear"
Upon your oath, was it not fifteen ?"
Well, yes; it was fifteen"
Now then, sir, | ask you was it
not twenty ?"
"No, sir, it was not twenty"
"Oh, oh,' said the barrister. Here
is gentleman who drinks two glasses
of sherry at dinner and admits hav-
ing had fifteen tumblers OF whiskey,
and yet is able to Iemember that he
did not take twenty. Now, sir, how
do You recollect it was not twenty 2"
"Why, then, I'll tell you," and,
turning to the judge, the witness
said: "You will remember, your
honor, we were at dinner together,
and afterwards, coming down stairs,
said to you: I have had eighteen
tumblers of whisky and you said
Then I have beaten you, for I've
lad twenty"
There were roars of laughter in
court, in which Keogh joined, for he
lad anticipated the deRouemeRt.

Satisfactory Progress of the Subscription
More than $4,000 Raised.

The subscription fund for the proposed new
Y. M. c. A. building fund is progressing with
satisfactory results. Yesterday the first ten
thousand-dollar mile post was passed, and it is
hoped to reach the second within the next week
or ten days. The voluntary subscriptions are
coming in very handsomely, which are better
indication of the interest than are those which
are solicited. The establishment Of Eli Lilly
& Go. yesterday forwarded subscription Of
$411. This was made without the solicitation of
a committee, and would be an excellent example
for manufacturing establishments and stores to
follow. general imitation on such generous
scale would insure the needed sum within a
week. The Journal also acknowledges sub
scripton of 500 from Mr.. III. II. Walker. and one
of $15 from the members of his Sunday school
class. This is example that may well be
initiated by other gentlemen and Sunday-school
classes.
A printed blank for subscriptions from manu-
featuring establishment has been prepared, and
will be distributed.
A list of additional subscriptions will be
published on Wednesday next, when it is hoped
$4,000 will have been reached

BYNUM's HENCHMAN sCoRCHED.
Will I. English Reads the Riot Act at the
Democratic Committees Meeting.

The Democratic county central committee met
yesterday afternoon at the Criminal Court be-
ing called to order by Chairman Sim Coy who
made rousing Democratic speech, which was
applauded to the echo His friends warmly con-
graduated him, and even Mr.. Coy was inclined
to admit it to be the greatest effort of his lfe
committee on resolutions was appointed,
consisting of P. A. Ward. W. o. Reveal Ross
Clarke, w. K. Sproule and G. B. Wadsworth.
After brief period of retirement the committee
returned and reported resolutions on the death
Of the late Vice-president, Thos. A Hendricks,
which were adopted.
A resolution offered by r. o. johnson was
adopted, making the representation in the county
convention to be on the basis of representation
of one delegate for every twenty five votes, and
one for each fraction of fifteen votes, cast for
VIM. h. Myers for Secretary of State in 1884.
The time Tor holding the county convention
was fixed for June IL Many wanted an earlier
day. and the resolution brought out several
speeches. 1t was made the pretext by Will e.
English for ascorchng speech, in which he made
some remarks that, if believed as earnestly by
the subject as Mr.. Engligh was emphatic in ex-
pressing them. would tend materially to impress
Mr. Frank Creelman with the idea that he is
hardly as great man as he

boss everything, to decide who should receive
federal appointments in indianapolis and who
should be nominated for Office, he wanted to
know who was this Pooh Bah-ths Lord High
Executioner who proposed to decaptate, polit-
ically, every man not agreeable to him9
He had never heard of Mr.. Creel
man until his name was brought
somewhat conspicuously before the public as a
man who had come from obscurity as an aspr-
ant for the office of postmaster of Indianapolis.
At this time. too, he was engaged in vilifying
Thomas A. Hendricks, in whose footsteps he is
now making such ambitious endeavors to follow.
Mr. English protested that he was opposed
to allowing any man to assume the authority OF
dictator in the party, and concluded his speech
by paying his respects-or probably more prop
erly speaking his disrespects-to Mr.. Creelman
in very vigorous language. His remarks were
received in way which indicated that the
majority of those present were in sympathy
with them.
motion to make Aug % the date for holding
the primaries to select delegates to the congress

by Bynum to have the conventions held at an
