A Horse with a Tube In Its Neck.

For half an hour one afternoon re-
Gently n crowd surrounded truck
which had halted in front of the ex-
change place door of the Mills build
ing. Attached to the truck was a
horse, and there was popularity in
the animals appearance which had
caused the crowd to gather.
The horse was doing its breathing,
not through its nostrils, but through a
tube inserted in its neck. The con-
trivance looked very much like an old
fashioned candlestich with the base
and an inch or two of the shank show
ing. In the tube was sort of filter,
to catch impurities in the air which
passed through it, and the arrangement
appeared to work very satisfactorily.
The driver explained that tracheo-
tony had been resorted to to save the
life of the horse, which had suffered
from asthma. The tube had been in
use for several months, and the horse
appeared to be as well as ever. 1t was
certainly able to do its full share of
work. Every two or three days the
tube was taken out and cleaned, but
the horse had it in its neck the rest of
the time.-N. Y. Times.

Tho Arrow Poison In the New Hebrides.
M. Dantec has examined and expert
mented with the arrow poison used by
the natives of the New Hebrides. He
finds that IL contains neither vegetable
poison nor serpent virus, but consists
of earth impregnated with vegetable
matter taken from marshy places and
containing Pasteur's vibrion septique,
or bacillus Of malignant edema and
also the bacillus of tetanus. If the
arrows have been kept a long time, or
have been much exposed to the sun,
the vibrion septique may have been
destroyed; the danger then is from
tetanus. When the arrows have been
freshly prepared and the vibrion
septique is still active, wound from
them causes death in a guinea pig from
septic@mia in from twelve to fifteen
hours; tetanus, which takes longer
than that period Of time to develop,
does not under these circumstances
show itself. 1t Is interesting to re-
mark that the horse is unknown in
these islands, consequently the theory
Of the equine origin of tetanus would
seem to be nsgatived by these re-
searches.

MIR. Bate, Of Tennessee, fully DEM
onstrated the fact that he is Demo
crat, when IN his argument yesterday
before congress to repeal all statutes
relating to supervisors of elections and
special deputies, he said these laws had
been in operation over twenty years
and they had not reconciled the people
to their harsh interference with affairs
belonging exclusively to the states,
and it was not surprising that late
political revolutions had swept from
power the party which enforc d ma
chinery for interference of affairs be-
longing exclusively to the states" The
measure referred to had very salu-
tary effect in insuring peaceful and fair
elections in large cities, and in New
York city especially the power of ring
politicians was curtailed. This is not
Democracy, for it interferes with the
corrupt and rowdy elements of the
sovereign people in controlling the
elective franchise. Mr.. Bate undoubt
edly believes the general government
has usurped power from the states in
many instances; but Democrats will
hardly exercise the temerity to- at
tempt to grant to these the preroga-
tives Of sovereignty, and which was SO
earnestly contended for by the party
from 1860 to 1865.

France is trembling over the chasm

gigantic, have unsettled the confidence

and permeated as the country is with
the subtle Influences of communism
and monarchism, it would not take
but little for the sans -culottes to make
the streets of Paris run red with the
blood of her citizens, or for the Or

monarch on the throne. Experiments
at self-government with the Latin

few instances, the mercurial disposi-

for any stability in the form of admin

equal favor with the masses, and the
popularity of either Is judged by
the volume of sound or the numerical
strength of those engaging in the wild
shout. On the contrary, by climatic
conditions, long centuries of the same
environment, and the traditions of the
race, the Anglo-Saxon is law unto
himself. and individual liberty is not
the experiment Of few years, but the
legacy of long aud continuous ages.

Democracy is trying to bridge all

Democracy is trying to bridge all
chasms in the party ranks, and desires
to take the reins of government on the
4th Of March next in a harmonious
condition. OF course this Is possible,
but very Improbable; and it will be
very surprising if, after the official
"pap" is dealt out by Mr.. Cleveland,
there is not a large army of discon-
tents. The mugwumps are already
out of the fold, and if the Chicago
platform is enforced there will be a
determined revolt of a larger element.
In union there is strength; but it will
be nearly impossible to unity the free
traders in the Democratic ranks with
those who adhere to the doctrine of
moderate protection. The responsible
ties of government do not rest with Re-
publicans, ard they will patiently wait
and carefully watch the result. There
is something mercurial in the tempera-
ment Of American citizens, and 1t will
be matter of great surprise if q
change is not desired as much in 1896
as it was in 1892.

The commerce of Great Britain i:
her life blood, and this she will pro-
tect at all hazards. This fact was lately
made apparent by the feet of British
revenue cutters, which now patrol the
great lakes, and are so constructed
that they can pass through any of the
canals connecting these bodies of water.
A great maritime nation, like the
British empire, must keep q careful
watch of her shipping interests, and
these gun-boats act the part OF an eff
cient system of lake and river police.
The provisions of the treaty of 1917
did not provide for any men-of-war
on our sea or lake coast, and these
revenue cutters are prepared for de-
cisive action at any moment. We do
not apprehend any serious result from
this demonstration on the part of a
friendly power; but it may require, as
q means of self-protection, that the
United States be equally vigilant and
have feet of war boats to guard her
interests. This country is very able
to construct them, and the states Dor.

There have been several attempts made

CHRISTMAS.

Next Sunday will be the anniver-
sary of the Christian festival known as
Christmas, in commemoration of the
birth of Jesus Christ. As this event
portended salvation to the world, and
was the beginning Of the new era of
religious thought and advancement
and of good will among men, it has al
ways been celebrated with manifesta-
tions of joy. It's observance among
Anglo-Saxons dates far back in the
early history of the race, and it has
linked itself with the progress of that
people from their barbarian haunts in
in the woods of Germany to their pal
aces and homes in the rew and old
world. Christmas is the day of days
with the Englishman in his own coun
try and his descendants on this side of
the Atlantic. 1t is the occasion of
family reunions, of joyful festivities,
and of broad handed charity towards
the suffering and unfortunate. With
other institutions which have not ma
terially changed with the development
of the race, not the least important is
the observance Of Christmas, and An
glo Saxon energy and enterprise, which
rule both continents, have made this
almost universal with all civilized peo
Piles. Christmas, as holiday, belongs
to the world, and those who may not
fully endorse the dogmas of a religion
which have been warped from their
primitive simplicity by priestly Gun
ming, can yet enter into the spirit of
liberalidy and benevolence which marks
the celebration of the festival. They
can approve of that fraternal feeling
which seeks the welfare of a fellow,
even if the unfortunate course of life
he has chosen does not entitle him to
sympathy, and that divine charity
which relieves the distressed and at
tempts to cure the pain of the afflicted.
In the exercise of these attributes of
nobility there should be universal
brotherhood of man and fatherhood of
God; land race, color or creed should
create no distinction or unjust dis
elimination. As the years grow into
decades and the decades into centuries,
till these become hoary with age, each
succeeding Christmas should wit
ness an advancement in virtue and
goodness, and the memories of the day
should be distinctive milestones to
mark the progress Of nations and indi-
viduals to a higher, better state or
condition or existence. The festival
belongs to all, and he only has the
higher claim to its proper observance
who more truly worships his God by
act and voice and who loves his fell
low-man in larger degree than his
neighbor.

The reserve limit is fixed at 500, 900,

Tammany has become very mag
unanimous, and has stated that it does
not want anything from Mr.. Cleye-

when it is taken into consideration
the hard and effective work the mem
bers of that organization did during the
recent campaign, and the Obligations
of Mr.. Cleveland to them for his
large majority 10 New York. But the
president will be generous enough not
to forgot them, even it they do not
wish to be remen bered.

lands. 1t is hoped, after the needed
rest, the members will work with re

three harvests by reason of drcuth,
will be given reasonable extension of
time to pay for their farms.
An exchange says: "If silver were
given its legitimate place alongside of
gold to perform its proper function as
money there would he no grounds for
apprehension because of large gold ex-
ports" This is very large "if," and
the United States alone cannot change
the present status of silver. The COM
mercial nations of the world must be
allowed the privilege of stating tn eir
preferences regarding single or dou-
BILE standard in their medium of ex-
change, ami the choice OF this country
alone cannot settle the matter either
way. Until congress of nations
adopts bI-metallism, it is useless for
anyone to attempt to make gold and
silver on an equality as circulating
medium.
The sad news comes from the sick
bed of Hon. james G. Blaine that his
recovery is hopeless, and his death may
happen any day. During the last few
years perhaps no man has so firmly
impressed his ideas upon the history
of the country as has Mr.. Blaine, and
the loss of his advice in national af
fairs will be felt by all political par
ties. The able secretary of state dur
ing the greater part of the present ad-
ministration, his craftsmanship was
fully shown in the management cf the
Malta trouble and the Baltimore affair,
and as an economist he displayed his
wisdom in the introduction of recip-
rocity.in the protection doctrine of the
Republican party. His death will be
serious loss to the country; but the
principles of statecraft advocated by
him will live on forever

EDUCATED CITIZENSHIP.

The important object Of the public
schools IN this country is to fit persons
for citizenship, and this cannot be ac-
complished while no course of study is
inaugurated to educate boys and girls
in the peculiar institutions which con.
stitute the basis of this government
In the advanced grades the constitu-
tion of the United States, under COM
petent instructors, should be one of
the branches taught. The, boy may
understand polite literature and have
a knowledge of the dead languages,
and yet not be competent to cast
the ballot intelligently. A knowledge
of the functions of the different
branches of government shonld not be
confined to the legal profession, but
should be universal with all classes
who are privileged with the elective
franchise. Intelligence is the corner
stone of free institutions, and this is
not comprised wholly in an under
standing of Greek art, literature and
philosophy; but Is more substantial in
republic when it comprehends thor
ough knowledge of the formation of
the organic laws Of the state, and the
manner and limit of their exercise. If
politics is science or art, those upon
whom will devolve the responsible du-
ties of citizenship should be trained in
earlier years, when the mind is elastic
and the memory retentive, in its in
tricacies. By pursuing a course of
studies In this line in the institutions
of learning supported by the public,
the nation would be training men and
women to be patriotic supporters of
the fabric Of government, and the
purity of the ballot would be greatly
and its exercise would be the
expression. of the sovereign
