DIR. MENDENHALL's ELECTION.

The dispatches yesterday reported the
election of Rev. G. III. MENDENHALL,
editor and owner of the Plaindealer, the
morning daily at Grand Forks, Dak., to
the presidency Of the college at James
town. The incident is referred to as
illustrative of the general fact that the
pulpit fails when it comes into the
newspaper arena. No disparagement Of
MENDENHALL as the editor is designed,
however. 1t is sufficient that an ex-
perience of a few months in the man
agement of a daily paper has more than
sated his ambition in that line. He was
a clergyman of more than average
ability and popularity, in spite of some
leaning to more secular roles, but became
possessed with the idea that he could
let his light shine more widely and use
fully the head of prominent journal.
That he did not make success of his
new field is sufficient for present re-
mark. Others have attempted to make
the press run in the pulpit channel with
equally unhappy conclusions. There is
no antagOnism between the two, and
they can effectively cooperate, but, the
differences must be recognized If each
best SubServeS its ends.

BUG. ARE DYING OFF.
The Festive Chinch Is Being
Knocked Out by Disease.

AuOCAcu OuC ny OlScaSo.
LAWRENCE, Kan., June 27.-Prof. j.
FL. Snow, of the state university, which
has taken an active interest in the iD-
sects of Kansas, and has given the
chinch bug special attention. claims
that disease has made its appearance
among chinch bugs which is thinning
their ranks rapidly. Prof. Snow SAYS
he has made number of visits to fields
OF this county, and found the live and
healthy bugs rather scarce. In many
places the ground Is almost white with
dead bugs. They are dying very
rapidly with a disease which he
terms white fungus, but many entOmOlo-
gists call it chinch bug cholera. The
disease is very contagious. Nothing is
known of the cause of the disease nor
OF its symptoms, but it is doing a good
work. To test whether it is contagious,
Prof. Snow, last Monday, shut up a
number of healthy bugs with few
dead ones. and to-day they are all dead,
apparently with the same disease. An
entOmOlOgist of Minnesota claims to
have sent over twenty boxes of dead
bugs last season with the view of scat
tering the disease, with the desired
results. Prof. Snow says that any field
can be cleared of the bugs by scatter
ing few dead ones therein. The
disease is prevalent, Prof. Snow says,
all over the West this wear.

CIVIL SERVICE MOCKERY.

With that singular facility for avoid
ing mention of knOtty questions for
which Republican platforms are noted,
it will be observed that the state plat
form adopted by the Ohio Republicans
treats civil service reform in very GIN
gerly style. The HARRISON admin
istration is Endorsed in general
terms without any specific state
ment whether the Ohio Repub-
licans indOrse the presidents
declarations in favor of civil service re-
form, or whether they lndorse his per-
sistent efforts to bring the civil service
law into contempt. But with man of
the FORAKER type at the head of the
ticket, it is easy to imagine that the
Columbus convention did not set any
great store by civil service reform, or
any other sort of reform for
that matter. and with the horde
of hungry Office seekers that packed
the convention it would have
been impossible to have had an express
sion that even squinted in the direction
of retaining a Democrat in Office for
twenty-four hours.
The truth of the whole matter is just
as it has been stated by the GLOBE time
and again, there can never be sue
cessful effort in establishing civil serv-
ice reform until the presidential Office
is confined to one term. Time con-
sumed in efforts of this character is
worse than wasted so long as a presi-
dent is beset with the temptation to
succeed himself.
FoRAKER's success in securing fourth
nomination by the use of state patron
age will unquestionably stimulate
HARRISON to secure denomination by
means of the federal patronage. From
this time forth every federal appoint
ment will be made with this end in
view, and it is possibly for that reason
alone the president has placed the curb
on the members of his cabinet, and per-
mits no subordinate appointment in the
several departments to be made until
the matter has first been submitted to
him.

OH, WHAT A ROAST.
DR.. RunneIs Evokes a Vicious At
tack Upon the Colleges.

tack Upon the Colleges.
There was one paper read yesterday
which raked the medical schools fore
and aft. 1t was caustic attack, and
every line told. The doctors did not
discuss it, but they seemed to think that
it was all right. The paper was pre-
seuted by DR.. O. s. Runnels, of indiana,
chairman of the committee on medical
colleges. He urged the necessity of
enforcing the law that all graduates
from colleges must have at least three
years of medical study. Continuing, he
said:
"In America there are 12S institutions
legally qualified to issue medical diplO-
mas. Among the colleges there is no
such thing as uniform requirements for
graduation. The most Of them are pri-
vate enterprises OF corporations, con-
Quoted for money or the emOluments
incidental to professional positions. In
far too many of these 'centerS of learn
Ing is there manifest an undignified
desire for large classes and a scramble
for students. On the principle of
s.large sales and small profits, /" the rates
have been reduced to the minimum, and
the acquisition OF the diploma made as
easy as possible. Allow standard, a short
course and an easy examination. The
numberless catalogues annually rained
down upon every known practitioner
fully attests this widespread desire to
get students, and the number graduated
who should have been sent back to the
pl0w or bench is lamentably large.
1.-The effect of all of this is contagious
as we'll as vicious. The medical col
lege idea is catching, and almost
amounts to a mania. Every city of any
size the country over, is doing her best
to support ftom one to half dozen Of
these institutions, and nests of doctors
in multitudes of towns can be found
who are even now contemplating the
starting of other medical colleges. This
has gone on in this young country until
it has become disgraeeful. We have
now one medical college to every
half million Of population, and
one graduated doctor to every
600, while mountebaDks, QuackY and

FIGHTING A MAD DOG.
A Young Mans Heroic Struggle
at q Sunday School Picnic.

A Young Mans Heroic Struggle
at Sunday School Picnic.
Philadelphia Press.
On a pleasant Saturday in the early
part Of August, 1878, in a small grove
near the pretty little town Ot B., in
Southern Pennsylvania, several thou
sand people from miles around had
gathered at Sunday school picnic. A
mad dog reported to be wandering at
large in the vicininity had
caused considerable excitement sew
eral days before. Suddenly, from
clump of bushes a large black
dog, with bloodshot eyes and foam
group of children. The animal was
unnoticed by all save young man who
stood near by. Like fash and with
out weapon Of any kind he sprang at
the brute, which was now in the midst
Of the merry-makers swapping and
snarling. With a heavy kick he sent
the animal reeling. But in a moment
it sprang upon him, bearing him to the
ground.
Anticipating his move he managed to
grasp the dog by the throat. Over and
over they rolled. The children stood
gazing at the struggle for few seconds
and then ran screaming from the spot.
A few of the bolder ones gathered
around the combatants. To use
weapon was to endanger the mans life,
so the spectators could give no aid. That
both were weakening was plainly evil
dent, and from all appea /.nces the
mans flesh had been torn py the pol
sonous fangs of the dog. At last with
mighty effort the animal was borne to
the ground, and tightening his vice-like
grip ON the dogs throat, the hero bore
down with all the strength he could
summon, and in few moments the dog
ceased to struggle. With his fingers al
most embedded in the dead animals
flesh, the young man sank unconscious.
For weeks lie lay with brain fever
fighting this battle over and over. Al
though his clothes were almost torn
from him and he was covered with
foam, he did not receive a single bite
from the rabid animal.
"Yes, fully realized was courting
death in its most horrible form when I
attacked the brute, but one life for
many rang in my ears all through the
conflict" was his answer to many who
showered their blessings upon him.

From the time they arrive at an insti-

didates. This has grown to such an ex-
tent that yesterday it was decided to
make the election take place one day
earlier hereafter, so as to give the MEN,
bers an opportunity to attend the ses-
sions. The election yesterday took
place at noon, and there were no vacant
seats in the hall. There were two
names mentioned foI the presidency,
and both are very prominent. DR.. A.
j. Sawyer, of Michigan, was nominated.
by DR.. Pratt, Of Detroit, in very COM
plimentary speech. in which he said DR..
Sawyer was the oldest homeOpath in
Michigan, and when. in 1847, a law was
passed making it states prison Offense
to practice homeopathy, he was the first
and only man to go before the legisla-
ture and fight for its repeal. He was
characterized as a fighter and war
rior who was needed at this time. DR..
g. A. Hall, of Chicago, was nominated
by DR.. Ludlum, also of Chicago.
The secOnding speeches came thick and
fast, but they were cut short by DR..
Hall, who said he was for thirty years a
member of the institute and had been
called a ''chrOnic candidate" for the
presidency. He deprecated the wire
pulling and then announced fatty that
he was not candidate and would not
accept the Office if he was elected. He
moved that the secretary cast the vote
of the institute for DIR. Sawyer. This
was done.
DR.. Sawyer Is an old man with long
beard and thin gray hair that falls
nearly to his shoulders. He was deeply
moved, and when he attempted to
speak his voice chOked. Il thank
you." he said, Il should be less than
human were l not deeply moved. l

Genial DR.. Bowling, of New York,
made the nomination, which gave the
vice presidency to Minnesotian. In
graceful speech he managed to work up
curiosity without naming his candidate.

came from all parts of the hall.
"He is So years DID," said DR.. Dowl-

pounds. He has gray hair and long

two years he has been chairman Of the
bureauof obstetrics. His name is DR..
G.. G. Higbee, of st. Paul."
DIR. Higbee was elected unanimously.
The remaining officers were all re-
elected as follows: DR.. E. Kellogg.
treasurer; DR.. Pemberton Dudley, of
Philadelphia. general secretary; DR.. 7.
M. Strong, Of Maids Island, N. Y, pro-
