RICE RoAsrs MACUNE.

General John II. Rice having failed tc
receive a response to his recent letter to
DR.. Macune, one of Kansas defamers in
the south, has indited a second epistle to
him in which he reiterates the denials
contained in his former letter of some of
Maeune's ISLANDERS against the state.
General Rice openly denounces the Alli-
ance leader as liar, and says: "With
political charlatans and editorial liars in
the ascendency our cause will be lost
not lost forever For truth crushed to
earth will arise again'-but defeated for
the time by traitors and ill-advised
friends" He wants the calamity howl
ers and travelling missionaries suppressed,
because 81 have done too much hard
work in the last twenty years to build
up Kansas to quietly sit down now and
see the state ruined by political charla-
tans." General Rice is accused by some
of the state papers of using this as a pre-
text for abandoning the Alliance as a
political organization preparatory to re-
newing allegiance to the Republican
party, but whether this is true or not it
will not be denied that he is performing
the state a valuable service, which
should be and is duly appreciated by the
good people of the state without regard
to party,

CREMATING CoRsETs.

The dispatches yesterday conveyed the
information from Ontario which, even if
an invention is extremely unique, and
being truth mounts to the very acme of
novelty. 1t is extremely hazardous to
ridicule any religious tenet, but when it
comes to building a bonfire and exhort-
ing the female members of the audience
to toss their corsets into it, without the
modest provision of dressing room or
even convenient cornfeld, laugh can
be pardoned. If these summary actions
in dress reforms are to be continued re.
vivals of this ilk will become extremely
popular; Anna Jenness' modest and ''for-
women-only" lectures will be entirely
out of date and the ballet and the comic
opera receive a severe backset. After
the tortuous garment Of hooks and eyes,
of tight laces and stiff stays is cremated,
it might be expedient to go for tight
fitting shoes and heavy skirts. But if
the matter Is to be extended, some pro-
vision ought to be made whereby the
masculine exhorter could be represented
by proxy and saved any keen embarrass-
ment he might feel and at the same time
render the zeal of the dress reformers
less restrained. There is one thing sure,
that if this mixture of dramatic enthusi-
asm and dress reform is a success, Chau-
tauqua, with its intellectual niceties and
modest conclusions on acknowledgements
ton will not be Gin it."

WATER AS AN ANEsTHETIC.

A cable dispatch states that DR.. c. L.
| SLEIGH, of Berlin, has discovered that
simple water injected under the skin
with a syringe renders the flesh at that
point insensible to pain.
The effect of the water is to create a
slight swelling resembling that caused
by the sting of gnat. The space marked
by the swelling remains insensible to
pain for some minutes, so that incisions
can be made without causing the slight
est suffering.
DIR. SLEIGH made use of his discovery in
the case of carbuncle on the upper
thigh. He laid the carbuncle open by
cross incisions eight centimeters in
length and scooped out the dead tissue,
the patient declaring that the operation
gave but slight pain. The treatment has
no i'll effect on the healing of the wound.
The cuts at once reunited and healed
perfectly.
Several New York physicians have
been interviewed in regard to the merits
of the alleged discovery.
"Why, it is old as the hills" said DR..
James E. Kelly. 81 am inclined to think
it is what newspapers call fake. 1t IS
really aqua-puncture, and it is one of the
oldest things in medical practice. Hy-
podermic injections of water do deaden
sensibility, but / don't think they have
much value as an an@sthetic. 1t is sup
posed that the water disturbs the nutri-
ton of the nerves and deadens their
susceptibility to pain. Water injectsons
are frequently used to lessen neuralgia
pains, pains in the stomache and bladder.
But as a local anaesthetic for surgical
operations it is not worthy of considera-
ton"
The doctor read the cable message
again. He remarked that the words
seemed familiar. Then he picked up a
book which which had something to say
about aqua-puncture. The wording in
the book and in the dispatch was almost
exactly the same; the description in the
dispatch had been copied almost word
for word. a
"There is also acu-puncture," con-
tinued Dr. Kelly, (which is often en-
ployed and which sometimes works
wonders. 1t is merely sticking pin
into patient. l had man under my

PRISON STATISTICS.

| An interesting bulletin on the sentences
of convicts in the penitentiaries, in 1890,
has just been issued by the census Office.
The bulletin, which was compiled
under the direction of Rev. Fred II.
| Wines, special agent of the census Office
for the collection of statistics relating to
pauperism and crime, furnishes some
new information as to the sentences i'm
posed by the courts upon prisoners in
penitentiaries.
Of 45, ,233 prisoners in penitentiaries,
f1fty-three were not sentenced, 2,4S6
were serving sentences of less than one
year, SO, 757 had been sentenced to i'm
priSonment for definite term of years,
2,6SS for life, twelve during their
minority, and sixty-two were under
sentence of death and awaiting execu-
! ton.
Where sentence for definite term of
years is pronounced the most common
sentence is found to be for two years,
and then, in the order stated, for five,
three, one, ten, four, seven and six years.
Nearly seven-eighths of all penitentiary
sentences fall under one of these eight
varieties. There are reported 132 SEN
tences of fifty years and over, of which
tifty-tive are for ninety-nine years. The
number of fractional sentences is also
shown, which was 1850; and taking
them into the account the total duration
of imprisonment for not less than one
year, but less than for life, ordered by
the courts, was 22S,2 years and five
months. The average term of sentence,
therefore, is five years and go DAYS. A
tendency to greater severity of sentence
is apparent in the south and west. The
average sentence of a native white con-
vict, of native parents, is five years and
20S days; of a foreign-born convict, five
years and 103 days; and of a colored
convict, six years and 1873 days. The
average sentence Of a male convict is
five years and 2S5 days. and of a female
four years and 215 davs.
The differences between the average
sentences in different states is a surprise.
They range from two years and $50 DAYS
in Rhode Island to u years and 1l6 days
in Mississippi, and seem to be governed
by no discoverable law. States which
JOIN each other, and in which the condl-
.tions are presumably similar, manifest
differences in this regard which are un-
explained. For instance, the average
sentence in New Hampshire is two
years and III days more than in Maine,
or about 90 per cent greater. The diff
ferences in averages between Indiana
and Illinois is one year and 240 DAYS;
between Wisconsin and Michigan, one
year and l55 days; between West Vir-
ginia and Virginia. two years and sixty
six days; between Louisiana and Missis-
sippi, seven years and 103 days, and
between North and South Dakota, one
year and 800 days
The greater average sentence given to
negro convicts is accounted for bv the
ST. Joe Gazette by the fact. as it asserts.
that more negroes are convicted for
burglary than for any other crime, the
punishment for which is more severe
than ordinary larceny and other lesser
crimes.

''StopI stopl stopt' shouted stout man
as he ran toward a Sixth avenue surface

conductor pulled the bellTope, the car
stopped and the man came up putting and
climbed on board. He went inside the car,
walked up to a nicely dressed passenger in
the front end Of the car and thrust q
bundle of papers in his lap.

considerable warmth, "Pve been looking

The passenger took the papers and stuffed
them in his inside coat pocket, but he did
not deign TO reply to the summons server
The thick set man then walked out Of the
car, had a quarrel with the conductor
about the question Of whether he ought to
pay fare or not, and then got of at the
next corner.

Good Doctrine.

From the Newark. y. j., Tribune.
The Tribune believes in government
by the people but a people properly in
structed. Hence it is interested, first of
all, in the labOrers-those who produce
our wealth and thereby prepare the way
for the education and elevation of the
masses. And of laborers it regards with
the most interest the man or woman who
has nothing but labor to sell. That labor
it desires to protect, and therefore favors
the protective policy in raising revenue
for the support of the government. And
it does this, not so much for the purpose
of protecting wool or iron or steel or tin
plate. or any other article or commodity
which may be sold next week or next
year, if not sold today, as in order to
fully protect the labor that enters into
all these, and which if not sold today is
forever lost not only to the worker but
to the world.

Sugar Making IN Kansas.

From the Oklahoma City Gazette.
There will be three sugar mills in op-
Grafton in Kansas this fall, one at Topeka,
one at Fort Scott and one at Medicine
Lodge. 1t IS claimed that the latter has
paid from the start, and as the company
has enlarged its plant this year, it is
reasonable to suppose that it has proved
a losing venture. The mill at Topeka
was burned last year and has been re-
built with improved machinery. That
would indicate that there is a profit in
the manufacture of sorghum at that
point. The Fort Scott mill has been in
operation for some years and appears 10
be prosperous. Each succeeding season
witnesses a greater degree of perfection
in the process of making sugar from sor-
ghum, and it is believed by persons who
have given the matter careful and intelli-
gent attention that sugar making will
become in the near future an important
industry in Kansas.

denounced before and after it was passed
and became law by the opponents of
the tariff policy that prevails and of
which it is part, the ground of opposi-
ton being that it was surrendering to
the president prerogatiye that belonged
exclusively to the legislative department

lished dangerous precedent. If dema-

gain control of the government, especial
