ABOUT the only good result of the recent
mill was the excellent lesson as to the
recuperative effects of temperance and
proper habits. BY the coarsest and most
brutaiizing dissipation Sullivan had brought
his magnificent physique perilously near
dissolution. He had succumbed to vast
ing fever, and it seemed incredible that.
even If he lived, he should ever be his old
self again. But by the compulsory observ-
anee Of the most rigid hygienic rules, proper
diet and skiilfnlly designed exercise he was
brought TO a bodily condition that was never
surpassed in any man. All the medicine
ever compounded would not have put him
where he could have successfully withstood
the lightest of KiIrain's blows But proper
food, habits and exercise took him from the
verge of the grave and recreated him a
giant.

THE latest enormity of which the New
York Times accuses Corporal Tanner is that
Of scheming for the Presidential nomination
in 1892. OF course there is no truth in it
there rarely is in anything that the Times
has TO say about pensions or anyone con-
nected with them or veterans. As its fellow
Mugwump organ-The EueRiRg Post-says
The Times is never expected to tell the truth
about any matter in which it has personal
interest" Its motive in starting this pre-
posterous story is clear to even a very mod
crate intellect. 1t hopes to alarm Gen.
Harrison and other Republican leaders with
the prospect of new and powerful rival,
unless Tanner can be destroyed. At the
same time, what confession it is that the
Commissioners course is the right one, and
meets the approval of the country!
