Doctoring in the Dark.

y No sen sible surgeon will attempt the
Performance of an operation involving
human life in room secluded from the
proper amount of lighs. A practitioner
will not attempt the diagnosis of com
plicated disease unless he can see the suf-
ferer and make an examination upon
which to base his opinion relative to the
course of treatment necessary TO bring
about a complete restoration of health.
withstanding the Improperly of
such action there seems to be great deal
of dootoring done in the dark.
BY this it is not intended thata literal
meaning be inferred, but shat q great
many mistakes are committed because of
the darkness which ia this result of ignor
ance. 1t needs no illustrations to demon
strate that gross ignorance has caused
many fatal mistakes TO be made In the
treatmenJ of diseases by those who pro-
fess to be learned in the art of healing.
In many diseases several organs are
more or less implicated, and what seems a
primary ailment may be one quite remote
For instance, a severe headache may have
its origin in disturbed stomach. On the
other hand sickness at the stomach may
be caused by blow on the head. The
seat of typhoid fever is in the upper part
of the bowels, but most of Its worst symp-
toms are often in the brain.
Sympto of disease, as well rs diseases
themselves, are oftentimes followers or
conoomitants of some unsupported or
ganic disease, and this is peculiarly true
of lung, liver, brain and heart diseases in
general, for it is now known that they are
the result of kidney disease, which shows
its presence in some such indirect manner.
Several years ago gentleman became
convinced of the truth of this, and
through his efforts the world has been
warned of kidney disease, and as a result
of continued effort specific known as
Manners Safe Cure was discovered, the
general use of which has shown it to be
of inestimable benefits in all cases where
kidney treatment is desirable or neces-
sary.
When consumption is threatened see to
il that the condition of the kidneys is i'm
msdiately inquired into, and if they are
found diseased cure them by an immedi-
ate use of Warmers Safe Cure, and the
symptoms of the lung decay will rapidly
disappear.
81 There are too many instances already
Recorded of the terrible results produced
by a lack of knowledge concerning the
eause of disease, and human life is of too
much importance to be foolishly sacri-
Coed to bigotry or ignorance.

Card Of Thanks,

AUSTIN, Tex, March 70, 1859.
To the Editor of the Statesman.
The family of Mrs. Judge Bell wish to
express their thanks to Mr.. Milt Shelley
for his kindness in rescuing her and sew
eral of her family from perilious situa-
ton in the Colorado river this morning.
He made several trips carrying them from
the carriage, which was in momentary
danger of being overturned, dis playing an
amount of courage and kindness which we
cannot allow to remain unnoticed.
We take this means to express our
heartfelt thanks for this kind action.

Entered for the Drill.

The Greys we're out drilling in full force
last night, and put up a good drill. A
meeting was held and the company de-
cided to enter the state and interstate
drill, which takes place at Galveston in
June next. After this week they will drill
four nights per week, viz: Monday, Tues
day, Thursday and Friday. Captain Houx
says he feels confident of success this
year, as he has large com pany of well
drilled men to pick his team from. Turn
out to the drills, boys; you cannot all be
in the team, and it is those who attend
regularly that will be the picked few.

been visiting Austin recently, and among
her host of admirers are three widowers
all of whom are interested in the cattle
business. Shs sounded them up and

a four-year-old but too small to ship;
another is three year-old but should be
put on better range, and the third is a

William Mussey, our crack third base
man, arrived last night from st Lonis.
He is stout, stocky built man and looks
every inch ball player. He first played
professionally with the Lincoln, Neb,
Western League team in 1888, where he
made great reputation as baseman
and a sure and timely hitter and a speedy
base rnnner.

Pills and Poetry.

There are men who make a living by
writing rhymes in which they extol the
virtues of somebody's tooth-wash, or con-
sumption cure, or Purgstive Pellets. It
rather CRATES upon ones feelings to read
a pathetic stanza of poetry and finish by
learning that DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery is the sovereign remedy for con-
sumption in its early stages, for deranged
liver, disordered kidneys, impure or i'm
poverished blood. Still this is absolutely
true, and why should not the truth be told
in poetry as well as prose.

1T is SAID that President Harrison
has decided that 1t will be unnecessary
to call an extra session of Congress. AZ
all fear of financial disturbance has
been dlspelled. During the month OF
August over ten million dollars were
added to the circulation, and it is as.
sured that this will be increased during
the present month. There are, how
ever, several important matters out
side OF this that could have been dis.
posed OF at an extra session, which
would have saved time at the regular
session. One of these is the contested
neats, as there are several from South
ern States, where there is no doubt but
Republicans were elected, that the
seats are claimed by Democrats. The
settlement OF these contests would
tavtb,considerable time, but still il
seenis scarcely necessary TO call an
extra session Tor this especial purpose
There is other business that could also
be attended TO, but it is probable that
1t can oil be settled at the regular ses
sion.

If nothing else had been learned
from the Wilmington Fair, it has been
clearly demonstrated that our farmers
can make money by raising fine grades
oil cattle and tIotting horses. 1t is the
opinion of compeient Judge, that all
the conditions favorable to the deVel-
opment of fine horses and cattle exist
In Delaware. One of the exhibitors
from this State says that his invest
ment has paid him so per cent, and
this surely should encourage others 10
embark in the same business. The
first cost of good stock is the only ex.
ira expense, as it does not .cost any
more TO raise good horse or COW than
1t does to raise poor one. For seY-
eral years our farmers have been com
planning that there was no money In
farming, but the Wilmington Fair has
demonstrated that If the proper course
is pursued, there is as much, or more
money, for our agriculturists than
there has been in the past.

THE riot at New Castle on Saturday
night and Sunday morning, which re-
suited in the death of one man and the
serious wounding of several others, is
another illustration of the folly OF i'm.
porting cheap foreign labor. There is
NO use denying the fact that sooner or
later these Hungarians and Poles will
cause riot and bloodshed. This has
been the case in Pennsylvania and 1t
will be the same everywhere else. The
only way to prevent this is to stop
these Hungarians, Poles and Italians
from coming to this country. The
way these people live they are enabled
to work cheaper than other laborers
and consequently there is always an
Ill feeling between them and the lab
orers OF other nationalities, which Is
liable to lead to riot and bloodshed at
any time.

THE public schools In New York
did not open until yesterday, and Il
would be well If the same was the case
everywhere else. Our schools opened
last Monday, and as for the frst three
days OF the week It were unsufferably
warm, II is question whether or NOT
the teachers felt like teaching or the
scholars like being taught. We think
u would be well II the vacations were
heightened, especially as It is probable
that hereafter the Wilmington Fair
Will be held during the first week Of
September. We believe that II would
have been q benefit to the teachers, as
well as the scholars, If the schools had
not opened until yesterday morning,
as with the excitement of the fair 1t Is
doubtful II the week was of much
benefit to the scholars.

The New York Tribune, In sneak.
ing OF the increased expenditures
during the past month, of which tile
democratic and Mugwump press have
Tried 10 make political capital, says:
THE surplus revenue, as matters
stand, goes back Into tho pockets OF the
people through tho purchase of bonds.
But there le also a material increase in
TIE expenditures under existing lava
In July aud August, while receipts were
only half million larger than in the
same months last year, the expenditures
were ts0, 0O0, 600 larger, nearly half the
increase being In pensions, and IS, $780,
uVO In "ord nary" payments. The fact
that these expenditures were authorized
by "a Democratic House docs not prevent
deiuge Of iusineere and Indecent abuse
rom Democratic journals, which profess
70 be ignorant that the payments made
are required by law. The President
could not reduce them II he desired, ex-
cept by unwairantably postponing the
settlement OF Claims upon which the
proper officers have passed. Obviously
considerable part OF the Increase in
expenditure lie due TO the greater energy
ana efficiency of the various depart
menus, winch are catching up with ar
rears OF work and getting accounts closed
up that should have been settled long
ago."
This shows why the expenditures
have been so large during the past
nonth, and why there has been an
Increase OF the public debt. These ex.
penditures were authorized by Demo-
cratic House, and even If Mr.. Cleve-
land had been elected, he would not
have had the power to stop them. in
ADDITION to this, about eight million
dollars In bonds, amounting with the
premiums to about eleven million dol.
lars, were bought by the government,
and as the interest is saved, 1t will be
That much less annual expenditure for
oil time TO come.
