THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President Harrison's message to con-
gress is a frank, manly statement of his
stewardship since congress last met. He
produces facts and figures to show the
prosperous condition of the country,
largely resulting unquestionably from the
policy of protection and reciprocity which
has been the watchword of this admins
tration. The ample attention given to
finance shows the president is beginning
to respond to the sentiment OF the times
as respects this subject. He thinks it
would be unwise TO modest the existing
law relating to silver because of its.possi-
BILE effect upon the commercial and indus
trial interests of the country, unsettling
them at time when there is little pros
pect of bringing about an international
agreement respecting the white metal as
money.
Bi-metalism is the desired end, says
Mr.. Harrison, but he would first have an
arrangement with foreign nations whereby
all can act in one accord toward this end.
He notes growing sentiment abroad as
we'll as at home in favor of silver as money
and intimates that after the present law
is further tried, the government purchas-
ing all American silver mined, the exist
ing system will promote gold reserve
here that will more and more bring the
foreign nations to consider the ACCESSIBILITY
of an international agreement for the
"full" coinage OF silver as well as gold.
The presidents position on this subject
is by no means unexpected except in one
feature. His utterances indicate an inn
portant mile stone of progress toward the
end 80 much desired by the west, obi
metaism," and which, the president adj
mits, the majority of the people, along
with himself, desire to see attained.
Under the circumstances this admission
is note worthy one. 1t is hint to the
god.bugs that free coinage is now only
matter of very short time, and that they
may as we'll prepare for it.

THE Denver Republican has unearthed
a hornets nest regarding rebates, draw
backs, special rates, and that sort OF
thing, and it is showing that there is
privileged class OF merchants both east
and west who enjoy very intimate rela-
tons with the great transportation lines.
Here's another chance for the inter-
state commerce commission to do some
excellent work. The Republican seems
to be on the right track, and ordinary
people owe it a debt of gratitude for its
bold and vigorous methods OF dealing
with the question Of freight rates.

WITH A STRING 10 II.

Governor Hill, it must be admitted,
displays a good deal of courage in coming
ont as he has for free coinage of silver,
but after all it is only bait for the vote
of the Democracy Of the west and south.
Hill practically says as much, but his
proposition is one that has very stout
Tammany string to it, for he argues that
no silver legislation must be attempted at
this session of congress. One fear is that
President Harrison might sign the bill,
and thus come in for share of the hon
ors, or might permit it to become law Tor
the sake of "miss-administ-ating" it.
Hills idea is that nobody but Hill and
Democratic congress must be permitted
to give bi-metalism to the Unitad States

THE Denver News calls attention to the
possibility that the Ell Paso silver conven-
ton may take up, in the interest OF Texas
smelters, the question OF the free admls-
sion of Mexico sllver-lead ores. The NE"
MEXICAN weeks ago brought forward this
matter, and it has the positive assurances
of the chief promoters OF the conVenuoh
that but two subjects are to be handled;
The free coinage of silver, and the repeal
of the alien act in so far as 1t effects min
ing in the territories.

Perhaps!!

1t is probable that efforts will be made
this session OF congress to make states of
New Mexico and Arizona. Utah will
also be an applicant for admission, but
lingering traces of Mormonism will proba-
bly, keep her out. Enabling acts for New
Mexico and Arizona are likely to pass
next spring or sum- er, but these states
will not come into the union early enough
to vote for president next year.-Albu-

Very Important Subject Discussed by the
Doctors Last Evening.
A largely attended meeting of the Academy
OF Medicine and Surgery was held last even
ing. Or. c. NJ. Shields was in the.chair
Dr. Hunter Mcclure read an interesting
and well-concelyed paper on the "Applica-
ton of Medicine to the system Through the
Skin by the Aid Of Electricity" He stated
that he had experimental with goiter
and This experiments had demonstrated that
iodine and cocaine could be absorbed in the
glands and the size of the tumors reduced, if
not wholly cured The'latter could be done.
he thought. if the applications were made
when the tumor first appeared. Goiter is the
abnormal swelling of the thyroid gland or
the glands in the throat. and the malady IS
peculiar 10 women especially. In Italy, per-
haps. there is more sufferers from gOter than
any other part of the world, but in all cOun-
tries it can be found Men are but seldom al
illcted with it, but there are MANY women in
Richmond who have the swelling.
Another strange feature Of the swelling is
the fact that the use OF the thyroid gland the
gland that swellsl has never been determined.
10 has been for years mOOted question in
medical literature as 70 the reasons for the
glands. No scientist has ever settled the
matter satisfactorily
Dr.. Shields reported three cases last evening
that he had cured by electricity. The cases
had not Leen of long standing He stated
that he had used neither iodine or cocaine
and regarded the treatment as great step
forward in medical science
BY this process medicines can be conducted
unchanged to the organ affected and physi-
clans have better assurance of their action
than if the drugs were administered by the
round about way of the stomach.
DR.. NJ d. Hoge. Jr.. expressed the idea
that the method could he employed by den
fists so that teeth may be extracted without
pain. Or. Mcclure said that cocaine admin

The subject was discussed at some length
by Drs. Edwards. Shields. Edmond Mcclure,

During the meeting OF the Common Coun-
Gil on Monday evening President Campbell
offered the following resolution:
BE it resolved by the Council OF the CITY
of Richmond. the Board of Aldermen con-
curing. That the resolution approved. grant
ing Joseph Heppert permission to erect a
wooden building 40 by 30 feet on Graham
street between Clay and Leigh streets for ths
purpose of operating steam engine. be SO
amended as to require the use of anthracite
coal for fuel"
The resolution was accompanied by the fol-
lowing petition:
THE undersigned residents and taxpayers
Of the city OF Richmond respectfully repre-
sent to your honorable body that they are
greatly annoyed and injured by the opera
tons of the planning mill of Joseph Heppert.
situated on Graham street between Clay and
Leigh.
The said mill was located at the place
named without any notice TO the neighbors
and thus In the beginning we had no oppor-
tunity TO protest against its coming amongst
us. We have tried 70 bear with it with pa
tlence and have done so for two years. but
the SCOT, dust and noise have become almost
unbearable. Especially is this so IN the sum
mer time and it is detracting from the value
OF the property in this vicinity and has caused
some OF our best neighbors 10 move away.

PEELED TO keep our windows closed. that the
articles in our house may be preserved from

For these reasons we ask that you revoke
the permission given TO Mr. Heppert to use
a boiler and engine at the place referred to.
and your petitioners will ever pray"
The petition is signed by about fifty pro-
perty owners and residents of that locality.
President Campbell explained that some
time ago he had seen Mr.. Heppert and re-
quested him TO use anthracite coal instead of
shavings to abate what was considered nui-
sance by the residents of that part Of the city.
However, Mr.. Heppert did not pay any atten-
ton to the request. and for this reason he
offered the resolution
