All of the virtue and patriotism
in Grant parish, to say nothing
about conceit and assumed intelli-
gence, is concentrated at and around
Ada postofice. At least this is
the claim of Bro. Harvill, of the
Peoples Banner. DR.. w. B. Buck
elew, Independent candidate for
the Legislature, writes letter of
Withdrawal from the contest, alleg-
ing that he cannot stoop( y to the
customs now practiced in politics
for an Office" Taking his with
drawal for q text, our modest neigh
Dor emphasizes and endorses DR..
Buckelew's arrogant and imperti-
nent aspersion upon all other can
didates in the field, who, by logical
sequence, "are willing to stoop" to
such nefarious means as are sup
posed to prevail in these latter
days of trickery and artifce. Now,
leaving out the undisputed fact
that the sentiment of q majority
of our people is for the right,
which is always intelligently di-
vined and acted on, the claim that
the political arena is any lower
than it ever was is unfounded and
untrue in every particular. The
history of our own and all progress
sive nations is that the morals anc
personel of those in power grow
better constantly. In this coun.
try this is particularly true, and
no man well informed on the rist
and fall of political parties in thu
United States viii ever make him
self ridiculous by charging tina
latter day politics are any NOR
degraded than in the days OF oul
daddies.

DIR. MackpnZIe,s Defpnsp.

The British Medical Journal has pub.
lished extracts from DIR. Mackenzie's
long expected book In defense of his
treatment of the late Emperor Freder-
X. As was expected, he is very severe
his comments upon the German doc
,and he accuses DR.. Bergman of
f,iing the life OF his royal patient at
least ten months by making a false
passage inS Inserting tube in the throat.
This he safe caused extensive suppura-
tion, which eadily drained away the
emperor's retaining strength. Except
when the false passage was made and
DR.. Bergman thrusfhis finger into the
wound the emperor never suffered actual
pain"
The reputation Of Mackenzie and his
enemies will form the chief consideration
In deciding public opinion in this matter,
and the Germans will probably believe
their doctors right in spite of Mackenzie,
while the English will stand by the lat
Ter. AS the party chiefly interested is
dead, the matter does not at present ap-
pear to have any very great Importance,
Tor no one doubts that every one COL
cerned tried to save the emperor, no
matter how badly they may have blum.
dered. The doctors must fight it out be.
tween them and leave the verdict to the
tonder mercies of the future historian.
As that broad shouldered worthy usually
writes with more keen eye to entertain.
Ing the public than to reaching the truth,
he will hardly be likely TO waste time in
the study Of medicine in order that he
may learn who is to blame, and will fix
the responsibility so as to make his mar
rative as picturesque as possible. Future
generations may read that Frederick the
Noble, as they already call him, lost his
life through mysterious plot in which
Sir Morell Mackenzie figured as an arch
conspirator or they may be entertained
with an account of dark intrigues d!.
rected by the present picturesque young
emperor AMI resulting in mysterious
stab in the neck of the patient inflicted by
m over Jealous doctor. The doctors
might as well stop lighting for the future
historian will probably fix the matter M
10 entertaining shape, regardless of any.
thing that they may say.

lie Would Not Answer.

It is very refreshing to the average
map, who is always subject TO be called
into the witness box to be brow-bsaten n
by the lawyer and bullied by the Judge,
to read how in a New York court
witness safely bid defiance to
both court and lawyer, and refused to
testify at all. 1t was by New York
court, come time ago, that poor colored
woman, who had been lifetime servant
in q family and who refused to help expose
the family skeleton, was sent to jail in.
definitely for declining to answer.
But she was an honest woman, and so
was punished. The witness who has
just safely defied the court is q thief,
who is already in custody, and therefore
cannot be further punished by i'm.
prisonment for contempt of court. BE.
dell, the man who forged the mortgages
for the supply of the eminent New York
firms clients, is the individual who re-
spectfully declined to tell the quizzing
court and lawyer single thing and we
say that it must be perfectly delightful
to everybody to read how firmly and
securely he refused to open his mouth
even to tell his name or his age,
The court thought its dignity was dread.

BISMARCK Is going to ask for money fol-
an energetic military operation In Xsuz zlbs,

usually asks for money for something mil

tan OF Turkey has presumed upon bis
nominal powers as commander OF the faith

large territory 10 the German East African

uons is the short service system prevailing
In their army. For the management OF
these distant wars in wild countries, where
roads are few, time Is necessary and, sbnye
Gil, troops well seasoned and trained to that
peculiar kind Of warfare. Tho English
have proved this In many campaigns of
the kind, whilo the French, with their short
service system, had dismal time In Tom

France the aim is to educate the whole ma .
