Does Lightning Sour the Milkf

1t is well known fact that milk Is
especially apt to sour during the preva-
lence of thunderstorm, and from this
it has been surmised that the electric
discharge held some mysterious sway
over the lacteal fluid. An Italian ex-
perimenter, one Professor &. Tolomei,
has been making trials of various sorts,
the object being to throw some light on
electric influence over milk molecules.
In his first experience he passed an cleo
trio discharge from Holtz machine be-
tween two balls of platinum hanging
two inches apart in bottle containing
quart of fresh milk; secondly, by send
ing current between two strips of
platinum at the bottom of V tube
filled with the same fluid; thirdly, by
subjecting milk in test tube to the ac-
ton of strong battery current through
a silk covered copper wire wound spi-
rally around the tube.
In each one of these experiments,
which were as thorough as any lover of
science could wish, 1t was proved that
acidulation of the milk was delayed in
stead of fastened, as had been expected.
Three equal portions of milk from the
same milking thus treated began to
grow acid on the seventh, the ninth and
the sixth days, respectively, while other
portions of 1t which had not been treated
with electricity was rankly acid on the
evening of the third day. Having thus
disproved the popular theory of lightning
being the direct cause of the acidifica-
tion of milk, Professor Tolomei tried
ozone and found therein the mystic
agent of milk souring. In his second
trial Of ozone he brought the surface of
quantity of milk close to the two balls
Of the machine used, and the fluid al
most instantly became acid in conse-
quence.
Here at last a mystery that has puz-
zled professors and peasants alike has
been made plain.-St. Louis Republic.

A Much Aliyeo Issue,

Republicans of the wiser sort are
making strenuous efforts to lift the
force bill issue out of the campaign.
Some of the organs insist that the issue
is dead and that Harrison's letter of ac-
ceptance will give it burial. The at
tempt is vain. The issue is clearly made
by the record and attitude of the party
and its principal leaders. The force bill
has been indorsed by Mr.. Harrison and
the controlling element in the party
organization. Its principle is embodied
and asserted in the platform of the
party.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Memory cannot be destroyed by pro.

the ballot cannot be taken away. The
men who are now in the position of the

The Republicans are saying good
deal about Mr.. Clevelands 'misgivings"
as to the advisability of nominating
him. They are also industriously cir
culating the report that he is not quite
so slender as Hamlet or Romeo. All we
have to say on the subject is that if our
Republican friends are depending on
these great arguments to elect Messrs.
Harrison and Reid, they must be in a
sad way for campaign material, and
have very slim hopes of electing their
candidates. - Memphis Appeal Ava

Stultifying TIL EN- selves.

To a great extent the reciprocity prof.
ect was humbug. 1t was intended as
a sugar coating for the bitter pill of the
Mckinley tariff. "What do we care for
abroadT' said Major Mckinley. "Let
us cultivate and develop the home mar
ket and leave foreign trade to take care
of itself" said other leading lights of
Republicism. Yet in spite of these dec.
larations of antagonism to foreign
trade the Republicans tackled the reci-
procity sections to the Mckinley law
with the pretended purpose of securing
new foreign markets for our agricultur-
lists and manufacturers s.-Rochester IN.

BECAUSE the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company will not assist him in raising
coal prices Mcleod has issued instruc-
tions that none of the Pennsys cars are
to be carried over the lines of the Read
ing system. This order caused Presi-
dent Roberts to get move on, and the
collieries that use his road for shipments
are being worked every day as hard as
possible to supply the demand. Since
the Pennsy's cars cannot go over the
lines of the Reading any longer, the
most natural thing to be done would be
to build the road to all collieries where
it can get coal.

A PERNlc,ous DOCTRINE.
Judge Rumsey's Decision Would Cause
Judicial Partisan QuarrcIs.


Judicial Partisan Quarrcls.
The chief Republican argument against
the apportionment act is that the divi-
sion made by the legislature is not fair.
But the lawmaking power, and the law
making power alone, is charged with
the duty of apportioning the state. The
constitution intends that the question of
TACT involved in this task shall be de-
clded by the legislature and the govern
or-in other words, by the political
power.
If the courts can step in for the pur-
pose of regulating the fairness of legis-
lators, why cannot they examine into all
acts OF the legislative or executive de-
partments? The constitution requires
that the several districts shall be as near
ly as possible of equal population, hav-
ing due regard to the contiguity of ter
r1tory and to the rules forbidding the
division of counties and providing that
each county except Franklin and Ham
ilton shall have one assemblyman.
II the courts can be asked to perform
duty devolving ON the legislature, or
to set aside an act of the legislature on
the ground that it involves an abuse of
discretion, a wide political field is open
to the judges not contemplated by the
constitution and dangerous to the COM
monwealth.
Judge Rumsey's decision would drag
the courts into partisan quarrels of the
bitterest kind, and if that should be the
result Of this contest the courts would
lose the wholesome respect which most
OF them now deserve.-New York World.

Bayonets and Ballots.

What gloom would confront us should

in this land of the free and home of the

A Prominent Republican seceder.

There is some significance in the fact
that Mr.. William Dudley Foulke, late
president of the National Civil Service
Reform association, has (by request) re-
signed his membership in the silk stock

apolis. Mr. Foulke has seen enough Of
Harrisonian civil service reform to make
him think that Grover Cleveland should

One strong point in the present ma
tional campaign is the manner in which
it has so far been conducted, free from
any kind of personal charges against the
candidates. 1t is much better to read
an intelligent criticism of Harrison's or
Cleveland's political views than a column
or two of lies about their private char
acters. The Republican press, with a
few exceptions, have treated Cleveland
very fair-far different from the way
they did in 1884 or 1888, and the course
of the Democratic papers may be seen
now in the sympathetic words and articles
they publish concerning the serious i'll
ness of the presidents wife. These
little things may not seem much in the
eyes of those who are continually
clamoring to 'tear the other fellow out, ,"
but they rebound to the credit of the
American people.

WHEN Hon. Tom L. johnson took the
notion two years ago to run for congress
in the twenty-first Ohio district he had
to overcome big Republican majority,
and his opponent, Theodore T.. Burton,
then congressman, was a very popular
man, but these things could not daunt
him. He made a vigorous contest in
every part of the district, taking free
trade and the taxation of land values
for his platform. The Democratic ma
tional and state committees impored
him to stop talking free trade, but Tom
refused to hedge on the issue or hide his
principles. He had confidence in the
people and knew if his theories were
properly presented to them they would
be with him. He followed his own
plans, and advocated free trade and
single tax in such convincing manner
that he was elected, surprising every
body but himself. The prospects are
that he will be returned without opposi-
tion this year, as no one has been found
yet to oppose him. This goes to show
that candidates for congress need not be
afraid to come ont openly for free trade.

deeply indignant over the assembly re-

the fact that the Republicans have car
ried the state for governor but once in

An UnavoId able Inference.

The Republican papers now declare
that no responsible utterance of the Re-
publican party in 1890 ever promised
better wages to the workingmen by the
Mckinley legislation. The inference
must be that the Republicans confess
that wages are not and cannot be ex-
pected to be favorable to the laborer.-

Nor content with bossing the coal
operators, railroaders, miners, etc.,
along its lines, the Reading system is
making partially successful effort to
run the newspapers published in towns
where the roads enter. About three
times week every editor receives big
bulky letter from the Philadelphia office
OF the company, containing printed
extract from the Philadelphia Star, the
Manufacturer or some other of the COM
bine's dozen shouters in that city.
These extracts are accompanied by a
neat little "request" to publish the en-

applied to three-column puff of Nc
Leod, an apology for advancing rates, or
glowing account of a victory over some
rival. Quite lot of free advertising is

THE cholera scare has caused general
cleaning up in almost every city and
town in the East. This itself, even
though the disease does not obtain a
foothold in the country, will be a benefit
to several of these places. 1t is crafty

towns has there been such prompt COM
pliance with the requests of the states
sanitary authorities as Freeland gave.
The organization of a practical board of
health and the appropriation of $50 for
disinfectants is more than was done by
any borough in the state, considering
size, population and the necessity for
the work. Weather towns around us

TWO HUMAN RArrLEsNAKEs.
They Bit Each O.her and Both Suffer
From Blood Poison.

From the NeiO York Times.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 4.-John Davis, 10
years old, is lying at bis home in a pre-
oarious condition, with chances all against
his recovery. Tice Hutsell, 20 years
younger, is at the city hospital suffering
intensely, but improving gradually, with
chances in favor of recovery after long
siege.
These men are each suffering from bites
inflicted by the other. Davis is one of the
best known horse trainers in the west and
is q man of considerable wealth. Hut
sell was his assistant and the two men have
been close friends for twenty years.
A week ago last Saturday the two men
quarreled at the fair grounds, and Davis
seized a pitchfork and dealt Hutsell a savage
blow. They fought like demons, and the
stable boys, having removed the pitohfork
the quondam friends were left to fight it
out with natures weapons. Hutsell tried
to gouge Davis eyes out, and had the
thumb almost bitten from his right hand.
Davis tried to choke Hutsell, and the latter
bit the first joint of the index finger of
Davis left hand. The fight lasted for over
half an hour, aud only ended when the men
were too exhausted TO continue.
The two men had their wounds dressed
Two days after the fight Hutsell's arm be-
gan to swell Two days later the limb was
Jhree times the natural size, and the swell
ing had gone to the body. Hutsell made
bis way to the dispensary. DIR. Fitzpatrick
sent him at once to the city hospital. There
DR.. Marks examined the patient. Hutsell
was In serious condition. His eyes jumped
nervously, and the muscles OF his body
twitched continuously, giving the appear
anoe of st. VItus' dance. In addition Hut
sells speech was affected.
DR.. Marks at once treated Hutsell, and
Hutsell will probably be able TO leave the
institution Ia the course OF weak. Not SO
with Davis. He paid no attention to his
wounded finger and kept on with his train
ing. Then had began 60 swell and Davi 8
says the agony was indescribable. In MS
own words, he did not sleep twenty min
utes during the ten days that elapsed after
he received the bite. From the hand the
swelling extended to the arm and that
member increased to an enormous size.
Last Sunday the pain was uncomfortable,
and his physician advised an immediate
operation. but Davis declined. Three days
later he grew so much worse that his
friends insisted on calling another physis
at a glance pronounced Davis dying man .
By his advice Davis was carried to a
boarding house. DR. Standing was then
called in in consultation with Pierce, and
1t was decided that the only thing to save
Davis was to amputate his finger and half
Of his left hand, which sho" cd signs OF
gangrene. Davis submitted to the opera
ton, and bore the ordeal bravely. Physicians
would not let Davis make a statement,
owing to his precarious condition.
