Welch Doomed to Death.
The hospital records show two previous
cases of a somewhat similar nature. Both
of these were women who were brought in
as suffering from jaundice. In each case a
gall stone was found to have become i'm
pacted in the gall duct. The color of these
patients, however, was no darker than that
ordinarily found in cases of jaundice; that
is to say, distinct yellow tinge over all the
body. 1t grew slightly darker as the case
went on, but was not at any time dark
enough to particularly attract attention.
Both of these cases ended fatally. In
fact, there is scarcely any chance for a
patient in such condition. The doctors. at
the hospital are doing their utmost to save
Welch, but they have not much hope.
Nothing but an operation in all probability
can remove the stone that has lodged in his
gall duct, and an operation to point at
such depth would be out of the question.
The present object of the doctors is to set
up an action that will clear the system of
bile, but the fact that Welch continues to
grow darker is looked upon as evidence that
he is not getting better.
He may nevertheless live for weeks or
months. He has already gone so far beyond
the usual limit for persons in his condition
that his hold on life seems to be extraor-
dinarily strong. Originally he must have
had a powerful constitution.

The Cause of 1t All.

The real trouble with Welch and the
cause of his extraordinary change of tint is
being translated, trouble with his gall
duct, and is something like very extreme
case Of jaundice. To the extent with which
he is afflicted with it it is very rare, though
such cases have been recorded.
The seat of the difficulty lies in the gall
duct, which connects the gall bladder with
the liver, which it supplies with the bile
used in the process of digestion. In cases
of diseased liver or deranged stomachs
gall stone sometimes passes from the gall
bladder to the liver. The gall stone is
hard fragment something like a piece of
coral, with little spurs sticking out all over
It, The gall duct is very small and the
stone passing along tears and scratches the
walls Of the duct producing great suffering.
1t is usual in cases of severe pain to give
morphine, and after few days the gall
stone gets through the duct and the patient
is relieved. 1t is possible, however, for the
little spurs on the gall stone to catch so
firmly in the duct that the stone sticks
there and becomes impacted. The bile
thereupon flows into the system, producing
jaundice or a disease analogous to it, and
finally death, unless the obstruction works
itself loose.
1t is the opinion of the hospital surgeons
that this is what is the matter with, Welch.
only in his case the flow of the bile into the
system has gone on very much longer than

--'---- -'----------~---- Lead Sme'tiny and Me k nleyism.

Mexican silver-lead ores were taxed by Mckinley most to point Of eXclu- sion under tha pretense of helping Colo rado lead producers. Now the Mexican ores are being smeltcd in Mexico. largely by American capital drvcn out of tho country by Mckinley, and the product, in the shape of crude lead bars is being shipped direct y to England.
 Formerly the ore came into this coun- try free and gave employment to rany laborers in our smeting establishments. Being used for smelttng the "dry ore" of Colorado, the Mexican ore acted as di- rect encouragement to the development of our numerous mines producing these "dry ores" The owners of the so-called carbon ore" mines in Colorado, however, had the pull" on the Ropub can tariff maker, aud. since the carbon cured did not need Mexican silVer-lead ores to mix with their own in smelting, they de- handed high duty to practically ex- clude them
 The result of this protectonist jug glery is thus stated by the New York Engineering aud Miniaq Jou'ndi: "Ev- eryone knows that the dry orc miners have been paying for the exclusion of Mexican tluNing ores, and everyone knows that the only people who have gained are a few owners of his h grade or irony lead ores. and some of the rail- roads. Our miners arc worse of than be Tore"
 In the meantime, what arc the con sumers paying for lead itself? The price of lead in the New York market Is now 1 40 cents a pound against ,. 6s conts in London. the duty being cents pound Early last year, be ore Mckinley got in his work, the price of lead here was as low as 2.so cents per pound; but as soon as his tariff bill passed the House "lead jumped to 1. 40
 These are figures which anybody can verify from market report, in the trade journals, however vio ently the protec- tion organs may deny the existence of any such thing as "McKiney prices

One of the cheapest and most foolish efforts of protectionists to create d preju- dice against the ta if reform movement is to point out how Europe sympathizes with the Democratic party and is anxious for it's success. Thus Hon. John s. Clarkson, who recently returned from Europe, said at banquet given in his honor in New York:
 "A thing that strengthens the faith of the Republican visiting Europe is the plain expressions of hope heard in many quarters that the Democrats may return to power in the United States and re- verse the American legislation. in Lu- ropean interest"
 If Clarkson would apply this protec- tion wisdom to his priv ate affairs he would have to boycott every merchant with whom he has been in the habit of trading. He must refuse to buy sugar from his grocer, since this worthy citi- zen is anxious to sell sugar; and 1t would be equal impossible to have a coat made, for the tailor is always keen for a job. If the great Republican heads man" of the Postofiicc Department is con sistent and will refuse to buy from peo- pie who are anxious to sell, he will go naked and hungry.
 
 will be deceived by this favorite "argu- ment" of the Clarksons, the Mckineys, and the lesser lights of Republican state craft The fact that Europe wants to trade with us is no evidence of hostility to our pros sperity-no more so than the demand of our farmers for market in Europe for another bushel of wheat and another barrel of pork" means that they are seeking to cripple European indus tries
 In tho long run all trade must yield a profit to both buyer and seller. It Is ex- tremely silly to suppose that we are go- ing to suffer loss at he hands of Euro pean traders because they want to sell to us and still more silly to pass laws to keep our people from buying wherever they find sellers with wares which they want

Strange Incident in a Post Office.

A young woman, refined-looking and beautiful, but evidently in much dis tress, called at the office of the post master of one of our large cities not long ago, as an exchange tells the story. For three weeks she had been expecting letter from home with twenty dollars in it.
 On account of an imperfect direc- tion, as 1t turned out, the letter had not been delivered. and the poor girl had been reduced to such straits, alone in the great city, that she was in al most a frantic condition
 The postmaster was absent, but his private secretary listened to her story, and at once sent a messenger to the delivery division to ascertain whether such a letter had been received, and if so, whether 1t had been forwarded to the Dead-I4etter office
 In few minutes the messenger re- turned bringing the letter, which the secretary handed to the girl, with the remark that if she would open 1t she would probably find the money.
 With nervous haste she nipped little pieces from the end of the envelope, ilvr eyes full of almost painful expect ancy, and as she caught sight of the green bills, she clasped both hands tightly over the envelope, and with tears running down her cheeks, ex- claimed, God bless the postmaster

The Foreign Market Willing.

A protectionist trade paper says: "Foregn countries are turning their eyes to tho United States for their bread supplies. and will buy everything in that line which we can offer them. This means the turning of wide stream of gold into this country and correspond ing increase in the prosperity of all branches of trade"
 This is the confession of protection journal thirty years after the Republi- can party began to build up home market for the farmer, in which, as it promised, all his products would be con stunned "right at his doors.' But the attempt 10 build up such home market is further than ever from realization. and our farmers must find a market for S60o, GOO, GOO or S7oo, o0o.ooo worth of their produce This year, with abund- ant crops hero and unusually short crops in Europe, the prospect is that our farmers will have $500, ooo, 900 worth of their products for export.
 The farmers are intelligent enough to see the enormous value to them of so large foreign demand for what they raise, and to see, too. the importance of promoting our trade with foreign coun- tries by free admission of foreign goods LII tu ouI ptIbS lo supptsc tudt ltTtikn countries can for any great length of time pay us for our farm products and manufactures in gold or silver Is absurd. There is not a sufficient quantity of the precious metals in those countries to stand such drain.
 If we wish, then, to soil to foreign countries, we must necessarily buy their products. Even the organ of the Ameri- can Protective Tariff League has made the following sweeping admission; ~Probably no common law is more rigid than that nation imports must in the long run be paid for by its exports In other words, the moro goods we buy abroad the greater the foreign demand for our products. Why. then, all this noise about the tin plate that we im- port? Why not encourage the Welsh man to send us double the quantity we now take, since we can thus open a market for another bushel of wheat and another barrel of pork?"

Mir. Luke Harron, an easy going old farmer, was especially proud of two things his sheep and his poultry, and all visitors to the farm were taken out to see them.
 Thus it chanced that Constable Short, who had come over from the village to serve on Farmer Harron a summons to act as luryman, was on hls hands and knees peerine into the depths of coop, examining q new variety of chicks. Suddenly. and without the slightest warning. some thing swift and terrible smote him in the unprotected rear with such force that he was driven head-tirst into the coop to the eonsternation of it's feath- cred inmates.
 With some assistance from Farmer Harron--who, it must be admitted, chuckled audibly at the sight--the constable was, at length cleared from the wreck, his hat was pulled from his eyes, and then he saw his assailant, a sturdy young ram, standing with lowered head, as if meditating an other attack.
 Full of wrath the officer cried. Look here Harronl Can't man look at your hens without being knocked over by q confounded ram?"

 Not ' Money N aking Fair.

ExCongressman Ben Butterworth. who kicked so vigorously against tho Mckinley bill last year, is now in Lon don. Speaking there of the Chicago Worlds Fair, of which he is Secretary, he is reported to have said:
 ~Besides successful show. we intend to have a gathering of nations and to promote commerce. You may think 1t strange to talk of promoting commerce. when we have built wall across the road with tho Mckinley bill. Anyhow, we think the Exposition will lead to better entente It is not a dollar-making business"
 But Butterworth will hardly find any European manufacturers who will go to the trouble and great expense of exhibit- ing at Chicago except as "a dollar-making business Europeans will have no patriotic sentiment such as moves us, and it is certain that the only European products found at the Chicago Fair will be such as appeal to the taste of the rich, who are able to buy costly articles of luxury despite the high-tariif wall "across the road.s

The Republicans of Massachusettes are trying to run away from Mckinley ism. The Republican Club of that State has recently sent out circular to all its members to get their opinions as to the issues to be made prominent in the campaign next fall
 One answer was: "Tovch very lightly upon protection;' and another: "The Mckinley bill is not final settlement of the controversy, but Republicans are ready to amend the law as the evils in- cident To it become apparent" Says a third: "lt is the duty of the Repub ican party. while protecting our industries, to correct any parts of the tariff laws which, after a far trial, arc found 10 work injustice to the masses of tho peo- pie" Others still go further.
