That passion of jealousy, hvid, hungry,
unbalked, RACES on, and it now pierces
the earth like a fiery diameter and en-
circles it like a fiery circumstance. 1t
wants both hemispheres. 1t wants the
heavens. It would, if it could, capture
the palace Of God, and dethrone Je-
hOvah, and chain the Almighty IN eter-
nal exile, and after the demolition Of
the universe would cry: Satisfied at
last, here I ami Alone! the undis-
puted and everlasting I, 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.
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 Cover
Cleveland and would like to relieve him
of the cares of Office, and after the
nominations of next summer have been
made a whole pandemOnium of defama-
ton, scurrility, hatred, revenge, false
hood, profanity, and misrepresentation
VIII be turned upon this land. The
tariff, about the raising or lowering or
reformation of which many of them care
nothing, except as to It's effects on votes,
viii be discussed from a thousand plat
forms, and the people of Louisiana viii
be told that the taxes must be taken off
sugar, the people of Virginia viii be
told that the taxes must be taken off
tobacco. and the people of Pennsyl-
vania viii be told that the taxes must
be taken off iron, and the people of
Kentucky viii be told that the taxes
must be taken off whisky, and the
people of Ohio that the taxes must be
taken off wool, while Massachusetts
and Connecticut viii be promised pro-
lection for manufactures, and all the
monetary interests, north, south, east,
and west, viii be told in each neighbor-
hood that the taxes and tariff viii be
fixed to suit them, irrespective Of any
body else; and, the presidential cleo
ton over, all viii settle down as it was
before. If you think that all this dis
cussion in Pnbic places IS from any
desire of the welfare of the dear people
and not for political effect, you are
greVously mistaken.
Go into all occupations and profess
siOns, and if you want to know how
much jealousy is yet to be extirpated,
ask master builders what they think of
each others houses, and merchants
what their opinion is of 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 ministers, and artists what

let him or her get a little too high, and
off goes the aspiring head by social or
commercial decapitatiOn.
Remember that envy dweIls more on
small defects of character than on great
forces, makes more of the fact that
DOmitian amused himself by transfix-
ing flies with his penknife than of his
great cOnQuests; 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 "Christabel" and "The Ancient
Mariner" more of the fact that Addi-
son drank too much than of the fact
that he was the author of the "Specta-
tor" more of a mans peccadiIlOes than
of his mighty energies, more of his de-
fects than of his vitOries.
Look at the sacred and heaven-de-
scended science of healing, and then
see DR.. Mackenzie, the English sur
geOn, who prolonged the life of the
crown prince of Germany until he be-
came emperor, and L hope may yet cure
him, so that he may for many years
govern that magnificent German ma
ton, than which there IS no grander.
Yet so great are the medical jealOusies
that DIR. Mackenzie dare not walk the
streets of Berlin. He is under military
guard. The medical students of Ger
many 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 inexperienced grandson But when,
under the medical treatment of Dr..
Crown Prince Frederick
took the throne. a wave of satisfaction
and confidence rolled over Christen-
dom, what shall the world do with the
doctor who saved his life? OH"

What a brutal scene of jealousy we
had in this country when President
Garfield lay dying. There were faith
full physicians that sacrificed their other
practice and sacrificed their health for
all time in fidelity to that death-bed
