would, if it could, capture the palace of
God, and dethrone Jehovah, and chain
the Almighty in eternal exile, and after
, the demolition of the universe would cry:
Satisfied at last, here j ami Alone the
undisputed and everlasting J, me, mine,
| myself" That passion keeps all Europe
perturbed. Nations jealous OF Germany,
OF England, of Russia, and those jealous
of each other, and all OF them jealous Of
America. AKA :
In our land this passion OF jealousy
keeps all the political world a-boil. There
are at least five hundred people who are
jealous OF Gov. Hill and would like TO be
his successor, about five thousand who are
jealous of Grover Cleveland and would
like to relieve him of the cares of office,
and after the nominations Of next sum-
mer have been made whole pandemo-
mum OF defamation, seurrility, hatred,
revenge, falsehood, profanity, and
Misrepresentation will be turned
upon this land. The tariff, about the
raising or lowering or reformation
ing, except rs to its effects on votes, will
be discussed from thousand platforms,
and the people OF Louisiana will be told
that the taxes must be taken off sugar,
the people OF Virginia will be told that
the taxes must be taken off tobacco, and
the people OF Pennsylvania will be told
that the taxes must be taken off iron, and
the people of Kentucky will be told that
the taxes must he taken off whisky, and
the people of Ohio that the taxes must be
taken off wool, while Massachusetts and
Connecticut will be promised protection
for manufactures, and all the monetary
interests north, south. east and west, will
be told in each neighborhOod, that the
taxes and tariff will be fixed to suit them,
irrespective of anybody else; and, the
presidential election over, all will settle
down as it was before. Ii you think that
all this discussion i'll public places is from
desire of the welfare OF the dear people
and not for political effect, you are griev-
ously mistaken.
Go into all occupations and professions,
and if you want to know how much ieal-
Ousy is yet to be eXtirpated, ask master
builders what they think OF each others
houses, and the merchants what their
opinion is of the merchants in the same
line of business in the same street, and
ask doctors what they think OF doctors,
and lawyers what they think OF lawyers,
and ministers what they think of minis
tiers, and artists what they think of artists.
As long as men and women III any de-
partment keep down and have hard
struggle, they will be family praised and
the remark will be- "Oh, yes; he is a
good, clever sort of a fellow" ''She is
rather-ves, somewhat quite-weli, may
say. a tolerably nice kind of woman"
But let him or her get little too high, and
off goes the aspiring head by social or COM
mercial decapitation.
Remember that envy dwells more on
small defects of character than on great
forces; makes more of the fact that Do
mitian amused himself by transfiXing flies
with his penknife than of his great con-
quests; OF the fact that Handel was a
glutton than of the fact that he created
imperiShable OratoriOs more of COleridge's
opium habit than of his writing "Christa-
| bel'' and the Ancient Mariner" more of
the fact that Addison drank too much
than OF the fact that he was the author OF
the Spectator" more of a mans pecca-
dilloes than of his mighty energies; more
of his defeats than of his victories.
Look at the sacred and heayen-descended
science OF healing, and then see DR.. Mac
/ kenne, the English surgeon who pro-
! lOnged the life of the crown prince of
/ Germany until he became emperor, and
| hope NAV vet cure him, SO that he may
for many years govern that magnificent
German nation, than which there is no
grander Yet so great are the medical
ieaiOusies that DR.. Mackenzie dare not
walk in the streets of Berlin. He is under
military guard. The medical students OF
Germany can hardly keep their hands off
of him. The old doctors of Germany are
writhing with indignation. The fact
is that in saving Frederick's life Dr.
Mackenzie saved the peace of Europe
| There was not an intelligent man on either
side the ocean that did not fear for the
result if the throne passed from wise and
good old Emperor William to his inexpe-
rienced grandson. But when, under the
medical treatment OF DR. Mackenzie
Crown Prince Frederick took the throne,
u wave OF satisfaction and confidence
rolled over Christendom, what shall the
world do with the doctor who saved his
life? "Oh," cried out the medical jeal-
ousies of Europe, destroy him OF course,
destroy him."
What brutal scene OF jealousy we had
in this country when President Garfield
lay dying. There were faithful physicians
that sacrificed their other practice and
sacrificed their health for all time in
fidelity TO that death-bed. Drs. Bliss and
Hamilton and Agnew went through
anxieties and tolls and fatigues such as
none but God could appreciate. Moth
ing pleased many OF the medical
profession. The doctors in charge
| did nothing right We who did
! not see the case knew better than those
who agOnized over it in the sick-room for
many weeks. /, who never had anything
worse than n run-round on my thumb,
which seemed To me at the time was
worthy all the attention of the entire
medical fraternity, had my own ideas as
to how the president ought to be treated
And in proportion as the physicians and
laymen were ignorant of the case, they
were sure the treatment practiced was a
mistake. And when in post-mortem the
bullet dropped out of a different part of
the body from that in which it was sup
posed to have been lodged, about two
hundred thousand people shouted: II
told you So" There, | knew it all the
time" There are some doctors in all
cities who would rather have the patient
die under the treatment of their own
schools than have them get well under
some other pathy.
Yea, look at the clerical profession. l
am sorry to say that in matters of jealousy
it is no better than other professions.
There are now in all denominations a
great many young clergymen who have a
faculty for superior usefulness. But they
are kept down and kept back and crippled
! by older ministers who look askance at
these rising evangelists. They are snubbed.
/ They are jostled. They are patronizingly
