HIS MAIDEN SPEECH.
The Voice of Count Herbert Bismarck heard in
the Reichstag.

The Voice of Count Herbert Bismarck heard in
the Reichstag.
BERLIN. - Fridays debate in the
reichs:ag was memorable ,as the occa
sion of Count Herbert Bismarck's maiden
spee,N. The greatest interest was shown
and moro deputies were present than
on any other day during the session.
1t was especially remarked that Count
Herbert's speech occupied over thirty
minutes. 1t was the event OF the day.
Count Herbert's voice, enumeration,
gestures and abrupt delivery vividly
reminded the audience of his fa'her. At
the beginning of the speech, his remarks,
though in a loud tone, could scarcely be
followed. Afterwards he became calmer
and fluent, gaining confidence as he
WOE the sympathy of his au
dience. Storms of applause greeted
his patriotic peroration. Count Herbert
cannot exactly be said 10 have the gift of
eloquence, but it is admitted on all sides
that he acquitted himself of the task well
and handsomely.

PROTECTION For FHE PEOPL2.

Word comes from Mil yankee that Wis
sonsiu doctors have prepared brlI To be
presented to the Legislature to regulate
the practice OF medicine The bill will
ment will be that it is for the protection
of the people. "Protection;" yes, that i,
what the people need. They are only
protected now AZ per cent, and there yet
romnins a margin of b3 per cent. TO make
it hundred. Should the doctors sue
ceej in this measure it will give protection
d boost surely. IL is n little remarkable
that such measures don't come from the
people. But perhaps il il just as well TO
have somebody else to look after shGIr
interests as il would be for them to be
bothering about ii. JulginR from the
way things arc going, it will not be long
before the people Will have SO much pro
teotion that they eau live on it, and lay
up money. or course this move is i,l IN
the interest of the people. The doctors
have nothing to gain by it any more than
the manufacturers have in protective
tariff. The tariff is necessary, because it
protects labor and secures for it high wa
ges. Protection against quaokery will
save the people from fouling away their
money and receiving no scientific con
sideration. The solicit ude manifested
for the people is becoming SO excessively
excessive that il is a wOpder it does not
awaken question in their minds as to
whether ii is excessively genuine.

In the dark days Of recopstructiou,
when the South was plundered by negro
legislatures, controlled by curpet- bagg ers,
a secret order was formed, called the
Kuklux. 1t was an unla sful, IA wick,
organization, and it cor lritted many
atrocities, ere it was crusaed by the arm
of the law
Cruel, wicked and cowardly as the Ku
Kiux Khan was, it yet had an excuse, an
apology for its existence, poor and in
sufficient though the excuse was. 1t was
u resort to violence to resist What was
deemed oppression.
But there has sprung up within the
past two years in the north especially
IN Indiana and Ohio Kuklux gang of
miscreants who have not the poor excuse
of the southerners, and yet are exercising
the Same brutal, oOwardly position of
sneaking about in the night whipping
women and doing violence to men, set

DR.. MDUNALU INSANE.
The Eminent Expert Attacked bv the Affection
He Labored to Cure.

: NEW YORK. - An evening paper
says: Notwithstanding the care
fully studled efforts to keep the facts
from public knowledge, it has leaked out
that DR.. Alexander Mcdonald, general
superintendent of the insane asylum on
Wards island, has become insane. IL Is
hoped that the affection is only TEN pOr
ary, and that the once brilliant mind of
the great specialist will be restored to it's
normal condition, but the prospect at the
present time is not encouraging. He has
for many years been one of
the universally recognized authorities
IN this country on the subject of insanity
and its treatment. 1t seems like q true
exposition of the irony of fate that he
himself should have been visited with an
stfiIetiOn that no one was supposed to
know better than he how TO cure"
Mcdonald was one of the experts whose
testimony convicted Gutteau, the 4ssas-
sin of President GarfelG, and it is q note
worthy that he Is another of those who
participated in that trial and VINO have
apparently fallen under the ban of tbs
