ONE MORE DEBT PAID.

The confirmation of Judge WOOD
was yesterday consummated in the
United States senate by one vote. This
act Will stand before the country as an
ignoble prostitution of the power of
strongly partisan, yet narrow Republic
an majority. As the judicial work of
Judge WOOD became historical feat
ure in the presidential campaign of 1885,
so will yesterdays work of the senate
prove of notable significance in the i'm
pending campaign of 1892. His appoint
ment by President HARRISON was re-
eelved by the country at large with
strong evidences of disapproYal; his
confirmation, even at this late day, will
reveal political system of repaying
political debts that is at once revolving
to every sense of honesty as it is repug-
nant to faith in the integrity
of the present head of the nation.
Judge WooD takes his place on the
bench of the federal court as reward
for alleged duplicity i'll shielding
Blocks-of- Five DUDLEY from the just
punishment of political crime against
the freedom of the ballot box. The
stigma of Judge WOODS offense is not
concealed by the long silken robe which
should be an honorable distinction to
every occupant of the supreme bench.

United States a man gains this high

A CAPITAL CANDIDATE.

JERRY SIMPSON is out for IGNAT1US
DoNNELLY as the presidential candi-
date of the Peoples party. He says
thai many favor Gen. WEAVER, of
Iowa, but he himself wants the Sage of
Nininger, because he has "a strong and
engaging personality, is a man of great
intellectual force, and our people have
confidence in him." He admits that the
Alliance is in the minority, ard that it
will not be able to elect its national
ticket. But he claims that it will
strengthen the organization to make the
fight. although hopeless one. ''With
a bright, clever man like IGNATIUS
DONNELLY leading our ticket" he re-
marks, tours would be campaign of
education, and we must educate the
people so that they will see that we are
right, and that both of the old parties
are wrong"
JERRY's head is level and the GLOBE
is with him. So is the whole state of
Minnesota. He is not unpatriotic enough
to advocate the election of DoNNELLY,
but he believes that his nomination
would be a good thing. That is true. 1t
surely would be a good thing for this
region, because it would get him away
from home. While he was haranguing
the grangers of the Kansas deserts he
could do no harm to the honest yeo-
many who people our rich prairies.
The Peoples party can collect generous
contributions in the Northwest to its
campaign fund if it will agree to keep
DoNNEII4Y in a condition of perpetual
candidacy for some office which will re-
quire his baneful presence in another
latitude.
JERRY is right again when he declares
that the Sage is eminently qualified to
lead in campaign of education. He is
the cheapest combination in this line
now before the country. He is not only
an intellectual and social educator, but
moral educator as we'll. He constitutes
whole show all by himself. He can
deliver sermon on any theme at the
shortest notice, and it is not necessary
to pay the travelling expenses OF any
terrible example to illustrate his points.
He will do for the terrible example
also. JERRY SIMPSON displays political
astutenesS and an admirable sense Of
economy when he comes out for lena

MRS. osBoRNE's CASE.
The Unfortunate Woman a Play
thing of Her Whims.


LONDON, March II. The British
Medical Journal, in its current issue,
contains a remarkable editorial in the
interest of Mrs. Osborne, who is serv-
ing term of nine months lmprison-
ment for larceny Of Mrs. Hargreaves'
Jewels and perjury in the suit which
She brought against Mrs. HargreaveS
for SANDER. The Journal publishes
letters from various medical men who
have attended the unfortunate woman
since she was sixteen years OF age, all
of whom agree that she is chrOnlcally
subject to hystere epilepsy and is OF a
highly naerotic temperament. The doc
tors quoted also agree that the lady IS
afflicted with great lack of mental sta
bility, due to physical causes.
The journal makes the further revela-
ton that since she has been In prison
Mrs. Osborne had an attack during
which she was utterly unconscious, the
state of insenSibility lasting sixteen
hours. The famous specialist, Sir Rich
ard Qualn, was summoned to attend ner
on this OCCASION. The journal receives
recognized authorities to prove that per
sons afflicted as Mrs. Osborne is are the
mere playthings of their whims, desires,
impulses or imaginations; that they
may neglect the most important duties
and outrage the feelings being con-
trolled by their abnormal condition. In
view of these uneontrCvertible facts the
journal demands that this frail, broken,
unstable woman be at least liberated
before her ACCOMPLISHMENT. Otherwise
she will probably die in prison, though
according to the medical view of the
case she is morally irresponsible for the
crime she committed.

cases of sudden blindness resulting
from grip have occurred here recently,
the sufferers being well known persons.
One, lady, has consulted eminent
oculists in New Orleans, who unite in
declaring her case hopeless and ad-
mitted that they were ignorant of the
causes that occasioned the loss of sight.
The other is that of boy who was at
tackled by the disease and lost his sight
in few hours. An operation promptly
performed has partially relieved him,
though, as yet. he can only distinguish
light from darkness. His physicians
have hopes for his recovery. His case
began with severe chill, eliminating
in muscular rheumatism. the lady'S
symptoms were similar, except that her
limb became dreadfufly swollen and
there was no rheumatism. In neither
case are the eyes outwardly affected.
Several similar cases are reported
among the negroes, but are not well
authenticated.

men on the silver question. Mr.. Bands
health has been very poor for some
time, keeping him away from the house,
and he asked to be personally excused,
and suggested Representative Bartine,
of Nevada, as a member well qualified
to present the views of free coinage
men.
Mr. HaTter said he was willing to be
one of the debaterS and suggested to Mr..
Bartine that there be two men Oh each
side. Mr.. Bartine did not concur in this
suggestion, saying that it would not
enable any one of tho dcbaters to do
himself Justice No conclusion has yet
been reached, but it is quite probable
that joint debate will be arranged be-
tween the friends and the opponents Of
free coinage.

these twenty-three funds. however, provide
for an election fund. but the twenty-fourth
fund gives wide latitude. 1t provides for
