Wonderful Surgery.

At the surgical congress at Berlin Pro-
fessor Gluck, of Berlin, gave an exhibit
ton showing most valuable advance
in surgery-namely, the successful sub
stitution of catgut, ivory and bone freed
from chalk for defects in bones, muscles
and nerve sinews. The juices of the
body are sucked up in the inserted ma
terial, thereby establishing the junction
of the separated ends, without any short
ening of the part. He presented the
cases of patients in whom there had
been an insertion of from six to ten cent?
metres of catgut to supply defects in the
leaders of the hands, to which complete
mobility had been restored. This case
had previously been impossible. In the
case of another patient Professor Gluck
removed u tumor from the thigh, caus-
ing considerable defect in the bone.
He inserted ivory, and no shortening en-
sued. In another case he removed a
large piece of nerve in the groin and in
serted catgut, and the functions re-
manned completely satisfactory. These
are considered wonderful achievements.

New York. The following Is part of what
he said:
"As to the immediate prospects of the

history of the country when political shack

just now Is the time when Prohibition party

Ex-Governors of Pennsy1vania.

Ex-Governor Pollock was the Oldest
ex-governor of the state alike in years
and in service. He was elected in 1854,
and was succeeded by William F. Packer,
of Lycoming, who died years ago.
Packer and Pollock each served only one
term, and Packer was succeeded by An
drew G.. Curtin in 1861, who served two
terms, and who is yet living, and now
the Oldest ex-governor in both years and
service. Curtin was succeeded by John
w. Geary in 1867, who served two terms,
and died soon after his retirement.
Geary was succeeded by John F. Hart
ranft, who served two terms, and who
died in 1889. Henry M. Hoyt succeeded
Hartranft in 1870, the first underline pro-
vision of the new constitution that made
the term four years, and made the govern
or ineligible for reelection to immediate
ly succeed himself. Governor Hoyt is still
living, and one of our active members of
the bar. Governor Pattison succeeded
Hoyt, and Is now at the head of an i'm
portant financial institution in this city.
The death of Pollock leaves only three
ex-governors of Pennsylvania among the
living, Messrs. Curtin, Hoyt and Patti
son. Curtins election goes back to 1860,
Hoyt's to 1878, and Pattison's to 1882

The Signs.

Unless every sign in the political skies
proves as deceptive as weather predictions
the protection principle" has run its course
and great revolution is at hand. The
several questions in political economy that
have within the last few years taken shape
and :ystalized with strong followings be-
hind them are every one antagonizing the
modern protection theory. The fond pre-
dictions of its progenitors have utterly
failed, which were that it tended to build
up strong enterprises that would turn out
products which in cheapness would easily
compete with the world and that the re-
quirements for protection would steadily
grow less until the vanishing point was
reached. In place of this result, that which
was TO be the vanishing point grows larger
and the demand for higher rates is more
camorous and loud from the interested
parties than in the beginning. A revolt in
view of this fact is imminent everywhere,
and by the law of revolutions, which is
immutable as that of the tides, threatens
absolute free trade between all nations. The
propagandists of this doctrine are stronger
to-day thar ever before, while recruits are
being marshalled on the line of reciprocity
Faced on that line and the marching order
passed along who can doubt the result?
There is no visible camping ground short of
free trade. The question is not what the
fruits might be. Revolution never asks
that question, but once put in motion madly
drives on. The defiant position, enthusiasm
and confidence Of the leaders in the move
ment is contagious and imparts lortion of
its zeal 20 all who are within touch. The
great farmer parties, the Labor parties, the
Prohibition party and that last and most
earnest of all, the Single Tax party
are all turning away from the political
economic theory which is founded or the
belief that every nation is more prosperous
and happy which uses no products of a
foreign country that can be supplied within
itself. This is the doctrine of the modern
protective principle" 1t was not, however,
the belief of the apostles of the early Amer
lean system. That theory was to aid by
mutual help to build up every kind of
manufactory that ultimately would defy the
worlds competition and find sale for their
products in all markets of the world. Mr..
Blaine 5 reciprocity movement looks towards
this end as its final consunlmation. This
was Garfeld's cardinal principle as the full
corn in the ear of protection" of home in
dustres. The monopolies now in control
discard this principle for the narrower one
Of exclusiveness, and the masses are gather
ing 10 try conclusions on this and the ex-
clusvely gold money line with the classes.
What the end will be none are wise enough
to fore'el, but movements portend desper-
ate struggle for radical change in civil
government, that will run through years of
varying successes and iepulses. Old abuses
are tenacious Of life and new systems diff
cult to plant and nourish into vigorous
growth.

qualiy at home upon it. Liquor is the
ommon foe of society, capitalists and
sorkngmen alike. Our platform recognlz.
rs the relations which the Prohibition idea
has TO all other public questions. 1t shows
that we are not simply Prohibitionists, but
political party ready 10 meet and provide
for all the pressing necessities of society,
and which no other party dare tonch. The
Prohibition party is Of far more importance
than Prohibition itself, for the party being
successfully established in power will bring
not only Prohibition, but al. other desired
reforms. Converts are needed not so much
to Prohibition as to the Prohibition party
If our Nation is to be redeemed, all of US
who believe in the many reforms now ad-
vocated must get together in one party and
take charge of the administration Of the
Government.
The science Of Government under the old
parties of to-day is how not to do anything
and to keep in power. The development of
the art OF straddling is the only advance
they have made in quarter of a century.
With them politics is cunning and govern
mert trick Old party voters haye be-
come hide bound. Jockeys tell me that
you may feed hide-bound horse in the
greatest abundance and can get no meat
upon him. You must first loosen up his
hide. So with voters still under the rule Of
the old party machines. You may feed
them with sentiments which they swallow
readily, but you fail to fatten them. We've
get to loosen their hides, and that's what we
propose to do our coming campaign"

Prohibition in Ohio.

DIR. NJ. G. Lockwood, the Prohibition
party nominee for Secretary of State of
Ohio, said, among other things, when inter-
viewed by Voice correspondent:
sour platform expresses exactly what has
been incorporated i'll the platforms of every
conservative political movement of Labor.
You will find in the Ohio platform almost
an exact statement of the principles upon
which both the Knight. of Labor and the
Farmers Alliance are based. In every
effort these men have made for the hetter-
ment of their condition they have found
that the liquor saloon was their most active
and powerful enemy. Such platform and
such campaign as we have in Ohio this
year will compel these great producing
classes TO take stand for or against liquor.
Neither the farmers nor the working man
can make an acceptable platform differing
from ours"
"Why have not Labor parties met with a
greater measure OF SUGGEST"
''For two reasons. First, class party,
like sectional party, can never succeed in
this country. Second, there has been no co.
hesiyeness in working mems parties because
they largely attempted to organize around a
core of selGshness. The only cohesive
power in the universe of God is moral.
The Republican and Democratic parties Of
to-day are not held together by moral co.
hesiyeness, but move on BY the mere
momentum of past Controversies"
"ls it proper to class you, as some have
done, as a Labor man on Prohibition
platform?'
Certainly not. The day for such dis
tinctions is past, if ever existed. The
Prohibition party is the reform party of the
day. Its platform is broad enough for all
TO stand upon. The broadcast minded of all
classes, capitalIstic, middle or lower, are

A Useful Cement.

The following mixture has been used
with the greatest possible success for the
cementing of iron railing tops, iron
gratings to stoves, etc.; in fact, with such
effect as to resist the blows of sledge
hammer. This mixture is composed of
equal parts of sulphur and white lead,
with about one-sixth proportion of borax,
tie three being thoroughly Incorporated
together, so as to form one homogeneous
mass. When the application is to be
made of this composition it is wet with
strong sulphuric acid, and thin layerofit
is placed between the two pieces of iron,
these being at once pressed together. In
five days it will be perfectly dry, all
traces Of the cement having vanished,
and the work having every appearance
of welding.-Hall's Journal of Health.

HOW MANY WORDS IN ENGLISH.
Estimates of Different Authorities and
Comparison of Dictionaries.

estimates OF Different Authorities and O
Comparison of Dictionaries.
An interesting question suggested by
an ancient waif Of book is the number
Of English words now existing. Con-
siderable difference of opinion exists on
this point. Mr.. George P. Marsh, an
American author of repute, in his "Lec-
lures on the English Language" esti-
mates that the number lin 1861 "prob-
ably does not fall short Of 100000" and
large additions, especially in art and sci
ence, have come into use since that date.
Other writers, however, come to differ
emit conclusion, and think that 10000
would include the whole. It depends a
good deal on how calculations are made.
If all the subsidiary words-participles
and the hke-are to be taken into ac-
count, it will swell the sum total very
considerably.
Taking the first three words that oc-
cur at random, we find that from "dem-
onstrate," in one of our modern diction-
aries, there are thirteen derivatives;
from the word " bright there are
twelve, and from "deplore" there are
ten. There Is also redundance in other
forms. In one of Todd's editions of DR..
johnson there are upward of eighty
words with the prefix all"-all-comply-
ing, all-divining, all-drowsy, and so on
"a very notable instance of dictionary
padding. In ways like these the vocab-
ulary may be indefinitely increased.
Probably if we take leading words and
all their derivatives, the number at the
present time will exceed Mr.. Marsh's es-
innate. An approximate verifcation
of this may be found by multiplying the
number of pages in any good modern
dictionary by the average number of
words in q page.
Shakespeares works, 1t is believed, in
clude about $4,000 separate words, and
Millions about 5000; but from these fig
ures we have no criterion Of the extent
of the actual English vocabulary. It may
be mentioned here that while Cockeram
has only about 1000 or 5000 words,
there are in Bailey's Dictionary approx
imately about $4,000, and in Johnson's
not more than that In some of the
larger modern works, again, the figures,
as has been said, reach to upward of
100000.
In DR.. Johnson's vocabulary many
technical and scientific terms were omit
ted, and in his original preface he ex-
cuses himself in a very naive and char
acteristic fashion. 81 could not" he says,
"visit caverns to learn the miners Ian
guage, nor take voyage to perfect my
skill in the dialect of navigation, nor
visit the warehouses of merchants and
the shops of artifcers to gain the names
of wares, tools and operations of which
no mention is found in books. An ad-
verse critic might be inclined to ask:
Why not? But, all the same, it will be
readily conceded that he did a great
work according to his lights. The science
of philology has been revolutionized since
his day, but his labors largely contrib
uted to the earlier stages of its progress.

Strike but Hear.

St. John is coming to make a
temperance speech at Rising Sun on
the first Of August to help ON with a
cause that nine out of every ten per-
sons profess to revere. Many are
the remarkable stories told OF ST..
John and hosts of people haye mac e
up an unfav, rAnle opinion of the man
from this exparte evidence which
has all come from The mouth of pol.
iticians, the most unreliable of all
testimony whether on the side of a
friend or against an enemy. Such
can never be received with safety
unless supported by documentary
proofs.
The man has spent the best years
of his life in one herculean effort to
put down the drink trsfiic, with an
eye single to this object. Formulat-
ing creature out of the stories of
politicians, many have conjured up a
being of the Imagination more re-
sembling the Afrights of Arabian
Nights stories than plain American
citizen. Come and see and hear St
John, and use your own eyes and
ears in forming your opinion in place
ofthe forked tongue of the politician,
which is one of the most deceptive
of all created things. Come and
hear St. John. Let your own eyes
and ears be your mentor.
