An Inbecile, or Worse.

Governor Waterman, of California,
has pardoned out of the Penitentiary
Fat Jake and @. n. Josslyne, two Of
the most brutal rape tiends ever con-
victed in California. They dragged
a married woman into q vacant lot in
the'night and outraged her so brutal l.
ly that she died. One was sentenced
to fifty years and the other forty
years hard labor in the State Peniten-
tiary.. They went there about five
years ago, and are now free.
This is the browning shame OF
Waterman's imbeoile and vicious ad-
ministration. If the man is not a
rascal purchased with somebody's
coin, he is by all odds the most bulky
ass that was ever elected to any office
in California. If he is not venal, then
the commissioners of Lunacy should
examine his case and assign him to
his proper place in some insane
asylum, where he cannot by any pos
sible means get out and run for office
again.-[Carson Appeal.
The Appeal is slightly mistaken.
The sentence OF each was committed,
the former to fifteen and the latter to
twelve years.

ELEcrRc.MEplcAA MATTERS.

THE electrical Instrument recently in
vented for avoiding the pain incident to
the extraction of teeth has attracted
considerable attention. Briefly, it con-
sists Of adjustable pronGs, carrying
buttons and connected with an electrical
battery. The buttons are placed on the
face over the nerves leading from the
teeth to the brain, and q circuit is estab-
lished the moment the extracting in
strument touches the tooth.
A NUMBER Of Philadelphia physicians
and surgeons have organized an electro
therapeutic society for the discussion Of
questions of electricity combined with
medicine and surgery. The main object
Of the society is to reduce the amount
of empiricism with which the practice
OF acknowledgements has hitherto
frequently been associated, and to in
duce regularly certified practitioners to
take up the subject on scientific basis.
IN tests on number of different per-
sons, an electrician has found the effect
i've resistance Of the human body to be
less to the alternating than to the direct
current in the same individual with
great variation in the resistance to either
current in different persons. In five
subjects the resistance to continuous
current Of so volts ranged from 1920 to
10000. The tests revealed incidentally
striking difference in the strength of
current different individuals can endure.
SOME wonderful work has lately been
done in the removal OF diseased parts
of the human body by electrolysis. DIR.
Abrath, who has paid special attention
to this branch Of surgery, states that he
has removed tumors and cancers with
ease by electricity where no surgical
interference with the knife was posi-
BILE, cases which have baff1ed all medical
and surgical treatment, including liui-
ments or injections. Grown-up people
who had been under hospital treatment
and dismissed as incucable have thus
escaped the horrors Of suffocation or
other miserable deaths. These he has
had photographed in their perfectly
cured state after electrical treatment.
He not only finds that the electric cur
rent will kill the cancer cell beyond
where the knife can go, but that hem
orrhage and shock are more or less pre-
vented with the use of electrolysis and
scepticaemia or py@mia, which so often
follows removal with the knife, is nearly
always avoided.

NO CONVENTION.

1t is not yet certain that there will
be no Constitutional Convention, but
that there will be one is highly inn
probable. The people really do not
want one Taxpayers and non-tax-
papers have had time to think over
the matter, and of those who voted
for the convention most have learned
that they were misled by a phantom.
-[Virginis Enterprise.
Suppose that some paper in the
State should take the same ground in
reference to the election of q StaUe
officer, the Governor for instance, and
object to his inauguration on the
ground that "the people do not want
Mr.. Colcord. Taxpayers and non
taxpayers have had time to think over
the matter, and of those who voted
for Mr.. Colcord most have learned
that they were misled by phantom"
What would the Enterprise think Of
such an argument? And yet that
would be just as reasonable position
to assume as the one taken by the
Enterprise in opposition to a Consti-
tutional Convention. Bro. Campbell
must be III his dotage.
