We believe in restricting the
Governor to one tern or shortning
the term, and il would also be a
good party reform to restrict cam
didates to a given number Of de-
feats to prevent the chronic condi-
ton. Too much yearnIng for office
humans the most manly men.
We have too mauy Jack Horners
in political corners, trying TO get
their thumbs into the plums of the
political pie. The hanger-on who
will lay awake at night devising
schemes to get office will become
very soon demoralized by the en-
tanglements of his schemes and is
rendered "no good"

THE MAIDSTONE A FAITH CURE
REMEDY.

The New York Sun recently in
teryiewed DR.. Hamilton and DR..
Spitzka, two eminent medical ex-
perts, on the curative powers Of the
maidstone.
The doctors agreed with the
great majority Of their profession
that there is no more virtue in the
maidstone than there is inn sponge
or any other porus substance.
1t is admitted that there is no
older and stronger superstition
than the popular belief III the mad
stone. In the earliest ages in China,
India and Rome people believed i'll
it. In almost every community
may be found a maidstone credited
with having performed wonderful
cures, vouched for by persons Of
unimpeaclable Neracity.
Still. the doctors shake their
heads. Dr. Hamilton and DR..
Spitzlla say that few physicians
will claim to have seen u genuine
case Of hydrophobia III man, and
DIR. Spitzka boldly asserts that
real rabies, transmissible from dog
to man by a bite Of the dog only,
has not yet heen demonstrated. In
most eases it is purely an inagin-
Y disease, and in others blood
p isoning or lock jaw will furnish
the explanation.
But people suffer and die, and
tLey are believed to have been the
victims Of mad dogs. The eXplana-
tion given by thepliysicians is that
they die from fright. The fear OF
hydrophobia may produce nervous
maladies, and the Imagination is
capable of creating what seems to
be a genuine case Of rabies. The
disease being imaginary, of course
an imaginary cure viii do as well
as amy other, and the patient whC
has firm faith IN maidstone will get
well. The true remedial agent,
SAYS the Sun, in its comments upon
the testimony Of the doctors, is
not the stone. 1t is the faith alone
