DR.. Spitzka, the well known New York
specialist, has been making experiments
with view of showing that there is nothing
in Pasteur's alleged prevention of hydropho-
bia by incubation. He subsidized number
of street Arabs to capture vagrant dogs, and
these victims of science he etherized, ire
pinned and inoculated directly upon the sur
face of the brain with various liquids. One
dog was treated with solution of yellow
soap, another with putrid liquid, still third
with virus made from the spinal cord of
perfectly healthy calf, and yet another with
virus from the brain of a dog pronounced to
have died of hydrophobia The experiments
were made with many other substances and
liquids All the dogs went mad except, sim
gularly enough, the animal inoculated with
virus pronounced rabic Some of the dogs
died in the fatal stage of hydrophobia, and
some were produced before the Medico-Ju-
risprudence Society in various stages. One
dog was shivering with paralysis, one was
vicious and frothing at the mouth, and
another that was dying in all the agonies of
the dreadful disease was despatched after
being chloroformed and the brain removed
before the medical men present. Microscop-
ic examination of the brain discovered pro-
nOunced LESSONS and the inflammation
of the outer tissue of the brain,
pronouced a certain accompaniment of
rabies. The brain in nowise differed
from that of dog that died of hydrophobia.
The Doctor deduces from these experiments
the conclusion that hydrophobia is nothing

more nor less than brain disease of varying
degrees of severity. He holds that the dis
ease does not exist in man, and that alleged
cases are simply the result of mental deu-
sion. A child too young to reason will never
have the disease, no matter how often or
how seriously it is bitten by a rabid dog.
Referring to Pasteur's experiment, he points
out that while the French chemist has been
able to make. any number of dogs and rab-
bits mad, he has never been able to produce
any effect with his virus on the monkey.
He explains this upon the theory that the
monkey belongs to the Simian tribe, which
is the nearest allied to man who is known to
resist more than any of the lower animals a
poison of this kind. He believes the fact
that the human beings whom Pasteur inocu-
lates are affected by the virus while the
monkey is not is due to the existence of i'm
agination in the former and the absence of
it in the latter. He thinks the founding of
Pasteur institutions is miSchevous, as it
tends to fix the mind upon the disease.
There would be much more sense he says, in
establishing Institutes for the treatment of
lockjaw than for the treatment of hydropho-
bia.

Sometime ago committee of one of the
assemblies of the Knights of Labor waited
upon Mr.. John P. Squire of Cambridge and
asked an increase in the wages OF his work
men. Mr.. Squire refused to discuss the mat
ter with them, on the ground that they were
outsiders. The nature of Mr.. Squire's bust
ness is such that sudden strike would
prove very disastrous. Apprehending that
one would be ordered he concluded to pro-
tect himself by arranging to shut down his
works until he could get a force of men that
he could depend upon not to quit work with
out reasonable notice. Having made his
arrangements he paid off and discharged
every one of his hands, offering to employ
again, however, such as were willing to ac-
cede to his terms. Mr.. Squire contends that
the wages he has been paying are all the
business will afford, but the Knights deny
this, and say that other concerns in the same
business are paying more The workmen
appear to have made mistake in not pre-
senting their demands themselves; but they
allege that Mr. Squire is an arbitrary man,
and if they had done so they would most
certainly have been discharged. The
Knights say that no movement had been
made on their part looking to strike, and
that. therefore, the lockout was entirely
without justification. They regard it as an
attempt on the part of Mr.. Squire to break
down the Knights of Labor. Mr.. Squire,
however, claims that he is simply contending
for the right to manage his own business in
his own way, without outside interference.
Viewed in whatever light it is an unfortu-
nate affair, and can hardly fail to entail con-
siderable loss to Mr.. Squire and good deal
of suffering to the $50 workmen who are now
out of job.

The town of Abingdon, in Massachusetts,
is greatly excited over the discovery of gold
in the neighborhood. Experts, who have
made an examination, say the mine will pay
to work. Experts, however, are not always
trustworthy as good many people in Maine
found out to their sorrow some years ago.

Now that the leaders Of Tammany and the
County Democracy are dead an effort will be
made to unite these two Democratic factions.
Such union would bode no good for the
people of New York, for the knowledge
that each of these factions stood ready to
expose the other has made them both more
scrupulous than they otherwise would have
been. United they could work their own

A SERIOUS QUESTION.
Phillips Photograph.
On every hand we hear the complaint that
the young people do not stay here, they go
away to the larger towns and cities, or per-
haps follow Horace Greeley's advice and go
West. 1t ought to be serious question with
us all how to prevent it. There is certainly
room enough here for several generations
among the hills of Maine.
THE REAL REASON.
Cincinnati Commercial Gaz cite.
Senator Frye closed mastery speech on
the Payne case by addressing himself to
Senator Payne and expressing his wonder
that the old man did not get up and demand
investigation. Frye made the scene most
dramatic and it was the talk of Washington.
There is just one reason why Mr. Payne does
not rise and demand Investigation. 1t is a
plain case. He dares not do it. The truth
would expel him. and he knows it.

In employing detectives to watch the An
archists of this country, foreign govern
ments have shown more wisdom and bet
ter understanding of the gravity of the dan
ger than have the authorities ON this side of
the ocean. The trial in Chicago has already
made it pretty certain that the Anarchists
deliberately conspired to overthrow the gov
eminent of that city. There is reason to
suppose that in other cities there are lodges
of equally determined and designing out
laws. An incident happened in New York
Monday evening which shows that the
prompt action of the authorities has failed
to divert the minds of Most's followers, from
their broodings over fancied wrongs and
bloody reforms. District Attorney MARITIME.
and his assistant, Colonel Fellows, have in
Cured the hatred of the New York gang of
Socialists by their energetic prosecution of
Herr Most. When it was announced that on
Monday evening both MARITIME and Fellows
would participate in a reception given by the
Sea View Railroad company to the Brazilian
Prince, Dom Augusta, the Socialists deter
mined to stop what they called a disgust
ing spectacle of homage to princecraft and
representative tyranny" and at the same
time show their hatred for the district attor-
ney and his assistant. The reception was to
be at Brighton, and the Sea Beach railroad
was to transport the party. Monday the
Anarchists sent letter to the company, in
which they gave this warning:
This entertainment to August Leopoldo prince
ling, MARITIME, the oppresSor, and Fellows, the
bloodhound, must not take place. If you persist
to entertain these representatives Of tyranny then
Mans hnl 70 fn md rot nf
the otner principals in this fete shall be forfeited
and taken at the earliest opportunity. This op-
pOrtunity will not be long before reached.
By orders of Social Revolution Committee, July
&c, 1886.
The officers of the company went on with
their preparations as usual, taking the pre-
caution, however, to employ a private detec-
tive to look after the Prince.
The company reached Brighton all right,
and the entertainment passed off pleasantly.
At about quarter past O'clock they started
to return to New York city. At a place
called Bay Ridge steamer took the party
aboard. AS they neared the city there was a
panic, and the cry was raised that there was
bomb aboard. The sparks from the bum
ing fuse had attracted attention, and caused
the fright. But deck hand, cooler than his
fellows. seized the bomb and succeeded in
throwing it into the harbor just before the
fuse burned down. The panic was quieted,
and as soon as the steamer came to the docks
the Prince was hurried aboard the Almiranto
Barrasso, the Brazilian man-of-war. The
other passengers were landed in great haste.
1t seems to be the intention of the foreign
miscreants who have found refuge in this
country, to wage against society the same in
discriminate warfare that the Nihilists have
waged against the Gar of Russia. This at
tempt in New York was even more fla
grant offense than the rioting at Chicago.

Lord Churchill is not at all backward in
letting his wants be known to the Premier.
He has promptly submitted a list of the
seats in the Cabinet he wishes apportioned
to himself and friends. He wants the for
eign secretaryship for himself, and threatens
to make trouble unless he gets it. Churchill
belongs to the faction known as the 'Young
Tories, and insists that they must have the
lions share of the offices under the new
government. The "Old Tories" however,
are just as obstinate, and are pressing their
demands upon the Premier quite as persist
emily. Evidently the Marquis of Salisbury
is not lying on bed of roses these days.
1t is an interesting spectacle when Re-
publican Senate is forced to rescue Demo-
cratic administration from the plots of a
Democratic House of Representatives. Yet
that is just what is now going on in Wash
ington. The House has passed Mr.. Morri-
sons resolution calling on the Secretary of
the Treasury to devote to payment of the
debt all money in the treasury in excess of
the funds kept to redeem the greenbacks.
The administration had declared itself OPP
posed to such policy repeatedly; but never
theless the Democratic House deliberately
voted that it had no confidence in Mr.. Cleve-
lands financial policy, and put forth one of
its own. The Senate has considered the
policy advocated by Mr.. Morrison and ap-
proved by the House. By a party vote it
has decided that the resolution must be
amended so that the secretary may use his
discretion in regulating the size of the sur
~, +l,a IN fba ovto, nf
suspending the operations prescribed by
Morrison's resolution. This would leave Mr.
Manning with some voice in the management
of his department; a concession for which
he may thank the Republicans of the Senate,
if the resolution passes Congress and the
President.

A LITTLE SUFFERER

the cure of our little grandchild by your CUTICU-
RIA REMEDIES When six months old his left hand
began to swell and had every appearance of a
large boil We poulticed it, but all to no purpose.
About five mouths after it became running sore.
Soon other sores formed. He then had two of
them on each hand, and as his blood became more
and more impure it took less time for them to
break out. A sore came on the chin beneath the
under lip, which was very offensive. His head was
one solid Scab dlScharging great deal. This was
his condition at twenty-five months old, when l
undertook the care of him, his mother having died
when he was little more than a year old, OF con-
sumption (ScrOfula of courSe). He could walk a
little, but could not get up if he fell down, and
could not move when in bed, having no use of his
hands. l Immediately commenced with the CUTE
CURA REMEDIES, using the CUTIcURA and CUTI-
CURA SOAP freely and when he had taken one
bottle OF the CUTICURA RESOLVENT, his head was
completely cured and he was improved in every
way. We were very much encouraged, and con-
tinued the use of the Remedies for a year and a
half. One sore after another healed, a bony mat
ter forming in each one of these five deep ones
just before healing, which would finally grow loose
and were taken out; then they would healrapidly.
After taking dozenland half bottles he was
completely cured and is now, at the age of SIX
years, strong and healthy clild. The scars on
his hands must always remain; his hands are
strong, though we once feared he would never he

did him no good. All who saw the child before
