IN France, when patient is un-
der chloroform, on the slightest
symptom appearing of failure of
the heart, they turn him nearly up-
side down-that is, with his head
downward and his heels in the air.
This, they say, always restores him :;
and such is their faith in the eff
cacy OF this method that the oper-
atlng tables in the Paris hospitals
are made so that in an instant thew
can be elevated with one end in the
air, so as to bring the patient into
a position resembling that of stand
ing on his head.

A BATHER'S SAD PLIGHT.

Speaking of bathing recalls lit.
tie incident that took place not long
ago. There is a charming spot on
the south side of the lake where a
great many people live in cottages.
Bathing is popular. The water is
delightfully."- warm and the ladies
have overcome their natural scru-
Piles about the wetness of it. They
have bathing suits, but, we gods,
such suits They are cross be-
tween pajamas and a Mother Hub
bard wrapper. A pretty girl in one
of these extraordinary costumes is
homely enough to stop the Johns
town flood. One of the young la
dies who battle in the lake is rather
tall sideways, as a small boy ex-
pressed it, and, as a yachtman would
say, she has great breadth of beam.
She was moving gracefully through
the water-you know that when fat
people once learn to swim they pillow
= the water like fsh-when she felt
her extraordinary garment give way.
To put it in its accustomed place
while she was in the water was i'm
possible. She must get to the ba-
thing house before any boys appear
ed. But just then the boys afore-
said rounded the point in a row-boat
and made straight for her.
For a moment she nearly tainted.
The water at Minnetonka is clear,
you know. She shouted to the boys
to ''go away" But they, not un-
derstanding the situation. pulled
directly for her. She begged, en-
treated, commanded, all to no pur-
pose. Then she got mad. She
moved to where the water was shall
lower and sat down. When the
boat came near her she grabbed it,
while the boys, whom she knew very
we'll, yelled with glee.
Nov, see here" she exclaimed,
eff you don't go right away there
will be trouble"
But the boys shouted some more
and one stood up so as to get a
more extended view of the land
scape. The girl saw rubber circu-
lar lying in the boat. She grabbed
it and then, with a sudden jerk,
pulled the boat down on one side.
The youth who was standing up fell
headlong into the water and the
boat half filled before she righted.
During the excitement the girl stood
up, wrapped the circular about her
and calmly and sedately walked
ashore, followed by the wet and be-
draggled youth whom she had
ducked.-St. Paul Globe.

Voting Yarn from Eureka.

At a primary election in 1875, in

A Very Broad Statement.

The Washington Post makes the very
broad statement that sit was never honestly
intended TO enforce the civil service reform
law. Does the Post mean that the distin-
guished republican congressman who helped
to pass that law were dishonest, and meant
TO deceive their constituents Does it mean
TO say that the last national republican con-
vention, by approving that law in the
party's platform, meant to perpetrate a
fraud upon the people Does it wish it to
be understood that President Harrison,
when he declared in his inaugural address
that he would enforce the law, in letter and
spirit, or words to that effect, was not
honesti
1t would indeed be interesting to know
whether the Post desires it to be understood
as saying that its political friends are
neither honest nor sincere in the matter of
the civil service reform law, but have been
simply trying to throw dust in the eyes of
the people. If it does mean to say this, aud
If what it says is true, it furnishes one Of
the reasons for the overwhelming defeat
which the Republican party suffered in the
recent elections. If that party is as bad as
the Post seems to make out it is time that it
was broken and scattered.
The Post assumes to speak for the Demo-
cratic party also, with respect to civil SER
vice reform. 1t is not able to do that.
What it says of that party is not worth q
second thought, because. seeing the rotten
ness of its own party it would like it to
appear that the Democratic party is
morally rotten also. The Democratic party
is not now in power and is therefore not on
trial The Post, however, is authorized to
speak for the Republican party Its editor
once sat in the chair now occupied by Mr.
Wanamaker. The Post therefore knows
wherein the Republican party is want ing.

Wanting in One Thing.

An address, delivered by Sergeant Tins
while standing by the coffin of policeman,
is attracting good deal Of attention in the
press. Sergeant Tins is a member of the
New York police force and he and the dead
man were great friends. Many times they
had talked on religious topics. Sergeant
Tins is christian and deacon in a
church. The dead man was an agnostic
just before his death he requested that only
his friend, the sergeant, should speak at his
funeral. The sergeant, knowing that his
friend was not believer in christianity,
hardly knew what to say, but he determined
that what he said should be the truth. He
arose and, amid breathless silence, with
fearful eyes and voice trembling with emo
ton, said:
He was not what you might call a chris
tiau, but he loved the truth and did his
duty. This was a simple, unpretentious,
unassuming man. He was pre-eminently
an honest man, who hated deceit and i'm
posture and loved the truth for its own
sake. He never crawled nor cringed nor
covered. He was neither a hypocrite nor
a dissembler.
There was only one thing wanting. If
the sergeant. in his simple but eloquent
eulogy, could have said that his dead friend
was also christian, he would have pre-
sented him as having been a man whose
character was worthy of being held up for
others to copy.

The republican newspapers have hereto
fore abused Allen o. Myers, of Ohio, in
round terms, but they have now dropped
that, and it would not be surprising if in a
few days they fell to praising him. The
cause of this change of attitude may be
stated in very few words. Myers has told
the democrats of Ohio that if they elect a
millionaire for senator, he will stump the
state against them. In this particular case,
the republican newspapers are strongly op-
posed TO the election of a millionaire, but
they have never uttered word of protest
when millionaires have been elected to the
Senate by the republicans, and they do not
mention the fact that Senator Sherman, of
Ohio, is probably worth 81, goo, 900. One
thing may be said about Mr.. Calvin s.
Brice. If he is elected to the Senate it will
not be because he is wealthy, but because
his party appreciates his services last fall
as chairman of the democratic national
campaign committee. Mr.. Brice did not
elect the democratic ticket, but he did some
excellent work for it.

An important Question.

The people are beginning to inquire why
it is that the mayor doesn't make an effort
to punish those who violate the ordinance
prohibiting the sale Of intoxicating beyer-
ages on Sunday. 1t is doubtless true that
10 complaint is made to him that any par
ticular person violates this ordinance, but
he cannot help knowing that it is openly
and fagrantly violated, because the num-
Der of persons who are broug t
before him on Monday morning, on the
charge of having been drunk anc disorderly
on Sunday, is greater than on any other
day. These poor wretches are punished,
but the greater offenders-those who fur
niShed them with whisky and beer-e.csre
any punishment whatever.
1t can hardly be said that the mayor has
no means of finding out who violate the
ordinance. The information could easily
be obtained from those who are brought
before him on the charge of being drunk.
They would hardly have any hesitation in
telling where they got whisky. Let the
mayor ask some of those who will be
brought before him on next Monday. and
there IS not much doubt that be will be
given enough evidence TO enable him to
reach the offenders. If they refuse to tell
him where they got whisky he has the
power to punish them for contempt of
court
The mayor has another means Of getting
information. 1t is the police Doubtless
the police know all saloons in the city that
are open on Sunday. If they were instructed
to do SO they would arrest those who are
responsible for keeping them open, and
would have the offenders before the mayor
on Monday morning to be dealt with along
with those charged with being drunk
There is no other city in the state in
which the barrooms are permitted to be
open on Sunday. Indeed, all the cities in
the country require the barrooms to be
closed. In Cincinnati the people took the
Sunday liquor question into their own
hands, and drunkenness on Sunday was
summarily stopped. Even in so large city
as New York the barrooms are closed on
Sunday-that is, their back doors as we'll as
their front ones are closed. Is Savannah
to stand alone in permitting intoxicating
beverages to be sold on Sunday!

Eoraker's Smile.

Foraker smiles over his defeat. His
smile is said to be a CHASTITY sort Of one,
however. Some Of his best friends thInE
that his political career is ended 1t would
not be at all surprising if it were. A Phila-
delphia admirer suggested that he transfer
his residence TO Pennsylvania, where the
majority of the Republican party is still
large, and where he would still have &
chance of getting good Office in the near
future. He declined the kind offer, and
said that he would stick to Ohio.
A few Of the republican newspapers say
that he is bearing his defeat manfully.
They desire to tighten little the misfortune
which has overtsken him. They realize
how great the misfortune is, and do not ex.
pect to see him again prominent in Ohio
politics.
Foraker pretends that be is glad that the
south has an opportunity 10 get even with
him. He declares that he has aroused the
south to anger so often that it seems only
fair that she should have a little revenge.
He is mistaken if he thinks the south was
ever angry with him in the same way she
would be with a straightforward enemy
who struck manly blows. The south has
no respect for him because he has acted
the part of a hypocrite. He sought
to arouse in the north a feeling
Of hatred against the south,
not because he believed the south deserved
hatred, but simply to gain partisan ad-
vantage If Foraker were an honest enemy
the south might be angry with him, but it
would not have feeling Of contempt for
him.
Foraker was responsible for the story,
which was circulated by the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette, in the recent cam
paign in Ohio, that his opponent for gov
ernor was engaged in a corrupt money
making scheme to foist on the nation a
patent ballet box. 1t was at first supposed
that Halstead, the editor of the CONNER
cidl Gazette, was responsible for it, but the
statement which Halstead made
few days ago, shows that such
was not the case. There is hardly room
for doubt that Foraker knew
thst the story was not true. The document
on whieh-the story was based, and which
contained the name of Campbell, Foraker
opponent, also contained the names of
Senator Sherman and Congressman But
terworth, Mckinley and Cox. Only Camp
bells name was given 70 the public, and
yet he knew that if Campbell was guilty
all the others were. Did he believe Sher-
man, Butterworth, and Mckinley. all
prominent republican leaders, guiltyl OF
course not, and neither did he believe
Campbell guilty. He must have suspected
that all the names were forged He didn't
search for the truth, however. That was
not what he wanted, and in all he has said
about the south he has never cared for the
truth. 1t is not to be wondered at, there
fore. that the south has no respect for him

An Interesting Local Matter,

Very naturally the question of assessing
the ground rent lots is the leading subject
Of local interest since the city attorney, in
very carefully considered and clearly ex-
pressed opinion, holds that they are not
exempt from taxation. Of course the
owners OF these lots question the correct
ness of the opinion, declare that the city
is not acting in good faith in even
proposing 10 assess the lots and announce
their intention to test in the courts the
question whether or not the lots can be
taxed. 1t was not supposed that they
would act differently. They are doing
just what others would do under
the same circumstances. and it is
only fair to them to admit that
they are perfectly sincere in the position
which they take. II the city attorneys
opinion is correct, however, and there is
not much, if any, reason to doubt that it is,
they must pay the taxes for which their
lots are liable. whether they want to or not.
Doubtless they will pay them without I'M
necessary delay when they become satisfied
that it is right that they should.
Unless the council becomes convinced
that the city attorneys opinion is not cor
rect its duty is plain. In fact, it can do
only one thing, and that is to order the lots
assessed along with the other property of
the city. If it should refuse to order them
assessed it would place itself in the
position of exempting from taxation vast
amount of very valuable property. OF
course it has no right to exempt these lots
even though they have never been assessed.
The failure to assess them was, according
to the councils legal authority, a mistake.
The mistake, having been pointed out, must
be corrected. 1t cannot be ignored, and to
assume that the council will ignore it is, to
say the least, a very violent assumption.
There is much said about the city's break
ing her contract. 1t is not proposed that
she shall break any contract. If it can be
shown that there is a valid contract which
exempts these lots from taxation it will
doubtless be respected. The great body of
the Taxpayers, however, will hardly consent
TO bear an extra tax burden for no other
reason than that, through mistake, they
have been doing so.
