HOMEOPATHY.

sO77 patients were treated at Wards Island
Hospital, N. Y. 1876: the death rate was o'Vf
per cent and the cost of medicine per patient
49, cents. During same year 1851 patients
were treated at Bellevue Hospital. N. Y, with
death rate of 1906 and 1851 at Biackwells Is
land with death rate of 1908. Cost OF medicine
per patient sl.46. At Wards Island the treat
ment is Homeopathy. at the last two IT is not.
Surely these official figures should open peo-
ple's eyes to the folly ofignoring Homeopathy,
the only school of medicine In the world
founded on the rock Unnatural law. on which
alone, humanity speaking, life and health are
safe If local druggists cannot supply our

the killing competition of foreigners
The Democratic plan would paralyze great
industries from which thousands and tens
of thousands of American citizens derive
their livelihood. The Republican plan is to
save these industries and reduce the surplus
by cutting down the internal revenue taxes
and putting on the free list such articles as
are not produced, or produced very sparing-
ly, in this country. In short, the Republican
tariff plank is framed in the interest of
American capital and labor; the Democratic
in the interest of European capital and la
bor The former seeks to keep the AmerI-
can market, the best in the world, for Amer
leans the latter seeks to open it to foreign
ers. 1t win be for the American people to
choose between these two plans in the COM
ing campaign.
The declaration of the platform on the
subject of civil service reform is as clear and
definite as that in regard to the tariff. The
Democratic platform, out of Difference part
ly, no doubt, to President Cleveland, pract-
cally IGNORED this question. To endorse the
reform would have been, to all intents and
purposes, a rebuke to the President, for
everybody, including the Mugwumps, adj
mits that his early protestations of devotion
to the reform were soon forgotten, and that
latterly the use of the offices for partisan
purposes has been open and shameless, and
so the platform practically ignored it. Very
properly the Republican platform denounces
the abandonment of the reform by the Presi-
dent and the Democratic party, and promises
to restore and extend it. Civil service re-
form was inaugurated by Republican adj
ministration, and what adyan ees it has made
have been made under Republican admins
trations. Since Cleveland became Presiden
it has refrigerated, and one trial of Demo-
cratic administration has doubtless satisfied
the sincere friends of the reform that it is
safer in Republican than in Democratic
hands.
The tariff and civil service reform are the
two questions of the most prominence before
the people. Aud the two parties will be
judged principally by their attitude toward
them. The Democrats are for free trade I;
the Republicans for protection; the DEM
ocrats have no opinion regarding civil SER
vice reform which they are willing to ex-
press the Republicans renew their allegiance
to the reform, and declare their purpose, if
placed in control of the government, to per-
feet and extend it.
But fully as important as either of these
questions Though perhaps less prominent in
the public mind, inasmuch as it lies at the
very foundation of our republican form of gov
eminent, is the question of free ballot and
fair count. The Republican party insists
that every citizen of the Republic shall be
permitted the free and untramelled right Of
suffrage. The Democratic party by its sill
ence endorses and approves the disfranchise-
ment of thousands of citizens to whom the
constitution and the laws guarantee the
right TO vote and have their votes counted.

The Chinese question in Australia is caus-
ing an unusual stir, not only in the colonies
of the South Sea continent, but in England.
The Australians are as determined that the
Chinese shall be prohibited from landing on
their shores, as are the people of the Pacific
Coast in our own country Tired of waiting
the action Of the Imperial Government they
have taken the matter into their own hands.
and, quite contrary to the terms of the
treaties now subssting between Great
Britain and China, have passed regulations
shutting out the Chinese. In Justification of
their actions the Australians present a strong
case. Australia is near to China; and once
started the millions OF the Flowery Kingdom

feared that the great areas of unoccupied
land in Australia will be taken mp by these
Asiatics, who will in time become the domi-
nant people. But 1t has been very difficult
for the Australians to impress these ideas on
the Home government. In the British colo
MES, notably the Sruarts Settlements, where
there are 100000 Chinese colonists and In
Lower Bumah, where there are $4,000 these
colonists have been specially valued; and
the home government is saturated with a
feeling that in Australia they may be equally
desirable. Then the difficulty of obtaining
the consent Of China to an exclusion of her
subjects from Australia may be difficult.
With reference to China England does not
occupy the independent position held by the
United States. In Thibet, in Burmah and
in possible complications with Russia the
the good will of China is very valuable to
England, and must be retained Mindful of
this, the statesmen of the English colonial

The Republican Platform.

The platform adopted by the Republican
National convention is very clear and
straightforward expression of the party's
views on the pressing questions of the day
There is no ambiguity about it and no strad-
ding. The key note of the campaign is
struck in the resolutions declaring in favor
OF protection to American industry and de-
nouneing the Mills bill as a step IN the di-
rectlon OF free trade. Nothing could be
stronger than this committal of the Repub-
lican party to the work Of preserving Amer
lean markets for Americans and guarding the
laboring man against the unfair competition
of the underpaid labor of Europe. On this
point the platform is virtually the opposite
Of the Democratic platform The latter
aims at a tariff for revenue only, tariff in
which the protective principle shall be ig
nored. 1t would reduce the surplus by
placing on the free list such articles of pro-
duction in this country as wood, lumber
and salt, exposing the capital
and labor embarked in them to

The objections which the Atlanta Consti-

level headed Democratic papers in the South,
made to Cleveland's tariff message have now

[Aroostook Republican. |

In numbers, character and enthusiasm, the
recent Republican State Convention sur
passed any convention ever held in the
State. The earnestness and effort that char
actcrized the preliminary canvasses of the
several candidates had aroused the Republic
can voters and resulted in bringing out full
delegations from all parts of the State.
Each of the candidates was worthy of the
nomination, but the great popularity of the
winning candidate among the common peo-
pie was manifest at an early stage Of the
canvass, and the result was a natural out
come of that popularity. Those who antici-
pated serious emeute in the Convention
were disappointed, and Hon. E. c. Burleigh

Injurious Effects of Noise.

& writer in The Popular Science
Monthly asserts that noise is one of the
most injurious influences of city life. 1t
may not be sufficiently logd TO attract the
attention Of those accustomed to it, but,
if continuous, 1t acts as inevitably upon
the nervous system as water IN dropping z
upon stone Experiments made upon
animals show that when they have been
subjected, for number of hours, to the
vibration of q tuning fork, their nerve
centers became irritated, as certainly as
muscular fbers would te affected by an
acid or al electric shock.
The injurious effect of ordinary noises
has been recognized by the authorities Of
European cities, and. In some cases, the
nuisance has been suppressed Heavily
laden carts are not admitted to certain
streets Of Berlin. and in others they are
only allowed to pass on condition that the
horses walk. The street cars Of Munich
have no bells, and those of rs who live in
places where these bells are not used on
Sunday can testify TO the relief attend
ant On the consequent peace and quiet"
The amount of the matter seems to be
that the city dweiler must regard noise
as one Of the necessary evils of his condi-
tion-one to be borne philosophically, and
requiring q large stock of grace and pa
tience. Happy, indeed, are they who,
through the long hot months. are only
disturbed in their morning sfunbers by
the song of the birds or the Growing Of

The Flavor Of Mutton.

The question that has long troubled butch
ers-viz, what causes the wool taste in NUT
ton.-is again the subject of much discussion
among ths fraternity. The American Public
Health association recently stated that the
touch of the woolly coat upon the dressed
flesh impaired wool taste and that there
was very noticeable difference in the flavor
of mutton taken from sheep which has been
for some time deprived Of all excess in its
woouy coat and that taken from q sheep
which has heavy fleece. The Hon. Cassius
u Clay, OF Kentucky who is recognized
authority in matters relating to sheep raising,
contends that the association is wrong. He
recommends butchers to starve the sheep for
twenty four hours before killing, and then to
cut the throat all around to the bone, allow
ing free flow of blood The sheep should
then be dressed at once. The flesh viii then
be found perfectly sweet and without any
perceptible wool taste.-Chicago News
