PHYSIOLOGY OF ECSTASY.
Important Respects In Which 1t Differs

Important Respects In Which 1t Differs
from Catafepsy.
Though closely allied to catalepsy,
ecstasy differs fron7 it in several inn
portant respects. OneEof the main
points OF difference is that in ecstasy

been going on during tho seizure is re-
membered, whilst in catalepsy there 10
complete Oblivion. 1t often happens
that the two diseases alternate or CO.
exist. : In ecstasy the limbs are motion
less, but not rigid. The eyes are open,
the pupils fixed, the livid lips parted in
smiles, and the arms extended to en-
brace the beloved vision. The body is
erect and raised to its utmost height or
else is extended at full length in re-
cumbent posture A peculiar, radiant
smile Eliminates the countenance, and
tho whole aspect and attitude Is that of
intense mental exaltation. Sometimes
the patient is silent, the mind being APP
parently absorbed in meditation, or in
the contemplation Of some beatitic
vision. Sometimes there is mystical
speaking, prophesying or singing; or
the fps may be moved without any,
sound escaping Various attitudes are
assumed in consonance with the ideas
passing through the. estates mind.
Spots Of blood sometimes appear on the
hands and other parts of the body, and

THE CHICAGO EXPOSITION.
How 1t VIII Be Affected by tho Passag,
of the Mckinley Bill.

Mr.. Mckinley and his bill are heart
lily damned in England and Washing
ton, and should be in Chicago. Every
body in this city owes the ingenious
Mr.. Mckinley q large. and ineradicable
grudge for getting up and lobbying
through the House of Representatives
a measure calculated TO hurt the
worlds fair very seriously. Mckinley
has In all probability made such a
muss OF it with his idiotic and useless
bill that England will decline an invi-
tation TO exhibit at the worlds fair on
the ground that her products, being
virtually barred out of America by Me-
Kinley and his bill, she has no reason
for exhibiting them to American eyes.
Holland will probably decline also. The
increased duty on Sumatra tobacco will
be thorn in the Netherland
side which will be very diff,
cult OF extraction. Mr.. Blaine,
who doesn't like Mckinley, and who
was opposed to his bill Tor party reasons
as we'll as from principles, has received
information. from great many of our
representatives at foreign courts, the
consensus of which is that the Mc1Sin-
ley bill will initiate against the sue
cess of the fair moro seriously than
could have been imagined. The foreign
governments and public have really an
exaggerated idea of the bill-England
especially looks upon it as an almost
absolute severance of the commercial
relations between the two countries.
The Mckinley bills bad enough, but
not so utterly and deplorably compre-
hensivo as tho English Foreign Secr6-'
tary has made it appear to the British
subject Since it has boen passed by a
lot of dunder-headed congressman who
were afraid to vote outside their party
lines let Mr.. Blaine and the rest of the
polite Republicans who are in control
of the affairs of state try and square
things as much as possible with our
friends abroad. The fats in the fire, to
be sure, but may be policy may rescue.

A DIaNiFlED REBuKE.

The Tribune has never hesitated on

1t will continue TO do so, II need be, in
the future.
But for that very reason it may fairly
claim the right TO defend the South
when it is uHjustly assailed, as in our
opinion it has been in connection with
the ceremony of unwilling the Lee
monument in Richmond. That the
people 1T tho South should delight to
honor the memory OF that great and
popular leader need not, and does not,
reflect on their loyalty5in the slightest
degree. Az egs ~ - =

The recent closing OF John Wanamak-

light some very ugly facts.zZzzz@.z.zz

by cheap white slaves in Germany, At
9 time when he was boring Sunday
echool children TO death.w with bis upid
,platitudes about the blessings of Chris

life, he was driving hundreds of girls to
q fate worse than death by making them
work for an average wage of two dollars
and half week. The fact also comes
out that the contractor made double the
wages allowed the girls, and the gar

shows how +our Postmaster-Genera is
able to contribute so literally to the
Republican campaign fund.- He simply
makes use of the blood and tears of the.
poor to perpetuate his power in a party
of robbers.
When Schuyler Colfax went down
under q heavier load of infaIny and
bitterer curses than ever damned any
other American public man, people
hoped that the Christian statesman

springs up everywhere and at all times
to fill the high places of honor and
profit, and the Wanamakers will be
and turn the rascals out.
Wanamakerism is linked with Nc
Kinleyism under the loudest and falsest
professions of honesty and justice. The
representatives OF these twin evils
propose to rob the poor SO that tho rich
may revel in the deep damnation of
this fraudulent philanthropy and sham
religion.
The real oppressors of the poor the
worst enemies of their raco-the most
cruel OF all slaye-drivers, are not the
men whose vices and, loose living excite
our horror. On the contrary, they arc

whose road to success is drenched with

Eleven years ago Quay took $500, 0oo
from the Pennsylvania state treasury.
and lost 1t In stock gambling. He had
an associate in the transaction, one J.
Blake Walters, at that time cashier Of
the State treasury. Walters subsequent
ly drank himself to death. Amos c,
Noyes, the State Treasurer, died not
long ago afterward, and his death was
said to have been due largely to his fear
that the robbery might be discovered.
Quay himself was for months the victim
of guilty terror. A new State Treasurer
had been elected, and exposure was inn
-minent. A friend who visited him at
the Lochiel House, in Harrisburg,
found him drunk, and debating
whether he should cut his throat or
jump into the Susquehanna river. This
friend visited Don Cameron, laid the
case before him, and that statesman, to
avert scandal which would have done
great damage to the Republican party IN
Pennsylvania, contributed over StoO, 900
to make up the deficit. The rest of the
sum necessary was supplied by Quay
and Walters. Quay secured vindica.

to the office of State Treasurer. But II
