Euclid's Ring.

Tuesday foand Euclid ready clad,
LII her working gown,
Seeming not to differ from
Oar usuai quiet town.
A Il nur merchants and their clerks,
with ward stick, truck and scales,
Each tried with great endeavor to
Effect the erestest sales.
The station agent grim and bold,
Kept up his usual click,
the section boss aCd III his hands,
Went forth with slecge and pick.
Our P. II. with her charming grace,
Attended to the mails,
The trains that daily pass the place,
Went rafting DER the rails.
The school went on in its regular way,
Without the least alarm,
And Il 10 anticipation,
Or foreboding Of great harm.
Thus it was that everything,
Its general course pursued,
And nothing seemed the least enhanced,
By any natural mood.
But hark! Fhst means this sudden changes
Can there be any cause
Why men and women young and old
Rise up IN applause
But let Us listen if perohance
The cause 10 ascertain,
Why the merchant, agent, boss,
From their work refrain.
Its not the sound of fighting dogs,
Or that sort of thing.
Now vs. hear it very plainly,
Euclid has y ring.
IT'S not the ring of rioting men,
Ofihet VIC haye no proof,
It's from the bell the scholars bought,
And placed upon the roof.
Two hundred pounds is the weight,
TwenEr five dollars the cost,
And may il ever ring, ring,
Counting time that's lost.

AT the meeting of the Congressional
delegates in New Castle, on Wednesday of
last week, Butler County was represented
by b. n. Gouoher Esq. alone, as the other
two delegates for this county did not put
in an appearance.
Mr.. Sword Of Lawrence Co. presided;
motion TO adopt the popular vote system
was tabled, the proportionate to delegate
system was discussed, but no conclusion
was arrived ct, and the convention ad-
journed to meet on Wednesday, Jan. 9th,
at LOOP. NJ. at the Fountain House in
New Castle.
One of the delegates of Mercer Co, and one
from Beaver Co., expressed themselves in
favor of the popular vote system, but the
other four delegates Of those counties, and
all Of those of Lawrence Co. were solidly
against it. though none of them presented
any well matured substitute for it. And
there is no substitute for the popular vote,
either for nominations or elections. 1t Is
cheaper both in time and money; it does
away with the go-bctweens commonly
called politicians, it makes the candidate
the direct creature of the popular will, and
it il the only fair method of making all
nominations within the lines of any State
in the Uuion.

The Republican papers manifest the

HOW THE FARMERS VOTED.

Facts and Figures Showing tho Position
Of tho People on the Tariff Issue.
In all the Northwestern agricultural
States the issue before the people in the
last election was the Mckinley tariff
bill The farmers do not like the policy
of that measure, and showed by their
votes for Congressman that they propose
to throw of the excessive burdens OF
protection.
In Indiana in 1888 the Republican
plurality in the Congressional vote was
4,57f This year the Democratic plu.
rality amounted to "a. 92s.
In Minnesota the Republican plural.
ity of 1883 was 81, 456. This year the
Democratic plurality was IA,
In Kansas the Republican plurality
on the Congressional vote of two years
ago was $4,000; this year the opposition
carried the State by more than $4,000.
The farmers of Nebraska gave to tho
Democratic and Alliance candidates for
Congress an aggregate plurality OF
about 10000 In 1888 the Republican
candidates' plurality amounted to u.s.
600.
In Iowa the Republicans carried the
Congressional districts in 1888 by 49,
900. This year the Democrats win by
5000.
The verdict against the tariff law in
Illinois was very emphatic In 1888
the Republican plurality was 1861;
this year the Democratic plurality is

Delayed Union Occurs ms Often as Once In
Five Hundred Cases.
The failure of broken bones to unite
firmly, which is met with now and then,
is usually due to- some local or general
condition Of the system, which binders
the formation Of solid beny tissue be-
tween the fragments In many cases
an important element seems to lie in
the fact that too great freedom OF mo.
ton between the broken ends has been
permitted, but in persons who are de.
bilitated from disease there seems to be
sometimes a lack of the vital energy
needed to throw out the material viii ,h
shall hold the fragments in position.
According to some authorities delayed
union-it usually takes place at last
occurs as often as once in five hundred
cases. At such times what union does
finally take place is generally OF fbrous
nature, and If the injury is in one Of
the longer bones so-cafied false Joint
may be the result DR.. Donald Mclean,
OF Detroit, who sees many cases of this
kind among the lumbermen in the
northern part Of his State, has come to
the conclusion that the cause of the
failure to unite lies largely in the sever
ity of the original local injury. which.
with his patients, is generally direct
blow from the trunk OF tree.
The treatment is often difficult, and
always tedious. A nice fitting together
of the fragments, with care that no soft
tissue is caught between them-the pos
ltion being retained by means of stiff
bandage- may be sufficient.
If the position is thoroughly pre-
served by the splints, 1t may be just as
we'll or even better, that the patient
move about, for certain amount of in
flammatory action is necessary in order
to get the full reparative power of ma
ture. For, the same purpose the ends of
the bones are sometimes rubbed smartly
together before being placed in the stir
bandage.
The modern system of performing OPP
erations under the protection of carbol-
ic acid spray, or other antiseptics, which
prevent the entrance of the microbes
which produce blood-poisoning. makes
possible some operations that in former
times would certainly have been fatal
Among other things, there has been in
troduced method OF treatment which
consists OF saving off the ends OF the
bones and fastening them together by
nails or wires; but itseems to Doctor Nc
Lean, from the study of his cases, that
those do quite as well in which the sole
reliance Is put on the outside dressing
without the use of wires. In some
cases where wires are used it becomes
necessary to perform a Subsequent OPP
