Jailer Dayis's Beef.

1t is asserted by his friends that His
ex-Honor, Jailer Davis, emitted a
pitiful wall on Tuesday evening, be-
cause he was not permitted to name
the successor of the late Sheriff Nc
Phillips. For some reason, he is Bit
terly opposed to the appointment OF
Edward r. Stanton Of Hoboken; but
he reluctantly consented" to the APP
pointment because he could not help
himself. This was kind. His ex-
Honor would have preferred any
other nomination-even a good one,
such as that of eX-Sheriff HeintZe.
But he was horribly discounted by
the strength shown by Mr.. Stanton,
and, in the language of the vulgar, he
''beefed" like an overgrown school
boy, who was not allowed to run the
game his own way.
This demeanor in His ex-Honor
would not have excited much com
ment some years ago, when the Jailer
was still unreformed. But in his
present highly t~ransmogrified condi-
ton of virtue and morality and high
toned spirit of regulation Of other
peoples affairs, it is passing strange
that this great and good leader should
have succumbed to the lusts of the
flesh. 1t is still stranger thai Mr..
Davis, who in the past has shown a
sort of bull-terrier courage in trying
situations. should have made such an
astonishing confession of weakness,
as he did ON this memorable occasion.
The politician who confesses that he
has lost his grip, and kicks because
he has lost it, is generally far advanced
on the down grade. To judge from
the d~ictatorial tone of his recent ha-
rangues, one would not have supposed
that Mr.. Davis was slipping down to
the very verge of his political col
lapse, and that the only barrier be-
tween him and destruction was the
power he exercised over the SheriH's
office.
We repeat we had no idea the
Jailer was in such a bad way. We
were hustling to get up a proper en-
thusiasm for his reform campaign, and
it Just simply takes our breath away
to find him a ratified, snappish, disap-
pointed kicker, grumbling and COM
planning because he has no influence
with the Governor.
Truly it is a spectacle to make the
gods weep.
This is the state of man; today he puts forth
The tender leaves of hope; tomorrow bios
SONS,
And bears his blushing honors thick upon him;
The third day comes a frost, a killing frost;
And-when he thinks, good easy man, full
surely
His greatness is a-ripening-nips his root.
And then he falls. =
= Never to rise again.

JUSTICE MARTINEZ showed a great
deal of good feeling Yesterday in his
remarks upon the Stoddard-Benson
case which was heard before him. He
said
1 hate to hear a case like this. When a case
like this comes before me always wish to God
that l were far away. 1 am here because 1 am
a Judge. The law compels me to sit here and
listen. Ihave to sit because of the vows / took
when 1 accepted the Office of magistrate. Now
you, Mr.. Stoddard, and this lady, your wife,
have children, and they are moving in good
society. Which one is suffering the most on
account of this. you or your daughters? They
will be discarded by society, and why. mind
you? Because their father is held as a criminal.
/ am very sorry to see a gentleman, who is old
enough to be a father to me, in such a scrape
like this.
Take it how you will, this is an I'M
commonly painful case. If Stoddard
is guilty, Justice Martinez's remarks
point the sad moral admirably. If he
is innocent, his wife figures in a very
unlovely light. Take it either way, it
is a pretty sad business for the daugh-
tiers.

WE are assured from an inspired
quarter that an examination of the
late Sheriff's books showed that the
accounts of the dead man were in a
surprisingly satisfactory condition,
when the fact of his long illness is
taken into considerations This will
be a great consolation to the dead
mans friends. As he was sick only
about five days, we infer from the
above statement, which was origi-
nally penned at the dictation of Jailer
Davis, his principal bondsman, that
the books are written up to within a
week, and everything is in practically
perfect shape.
This is especially good news in
view of the hints thrown out from
precisely the anne source that the
affairs of the Office were in confusion.

The Ventilation of Sleeping Cars.

No one in these days would think of tax
ing night journey by rail in anything
but "sleeuer,' and yet the sleeper of
today is in n. ny respects horrible place
in which to spend a night. Overlooking
the annoyar"es Of toilet making in the
cramped curriers' of the car, the condition
of the air of filled car on awakening in
the morning s. something terrible to ex-
perience. One cause of this could have
been removed long ago without an invent
or's interposision. A principal reason for
the poor ventilation of such cars has been
the compartments at each end, which run
ming up to TIE roof cut off the main source
of ventilation-viz., the. circulation of air
through the cars by the motion of the
train.
An ordinary car receives a supply of pure
air in this way every time the door is
opened but a sleeper sUcl ventilation is
guarded against not only by the partitions,
but by swinging doors Mt their side de-
signed to axe the entrance of a stray
draft impossible. We suggest to the
sleeping car companies that a carpenter
and kit of tools would soon do enough in
the way of ventilating their cars to silence
many complaints and add to the public
health.-New York Post.

Deadly Sruss:c Acid.

A physician well known to the st. Louis
public contributes the following informa-
ton:
Hydrocyanic acid, or, as it is most COM
monty called, prussic acid, is one of the
most deadly poisons known to animal life.
1t is volatile principle contained in nu-
merous shrubs and trees, chiefly the wild
cherry, bitter almond, cherry laurel. St.
Ignatius bean and the peach tree. 1t is
obtained by distillation from ferrocyanide
of potassium by the action of suiphuric
acid in the form Of light, colorless gas.
The preparat ion kept in the drug store is
a dilute acid of u strength of per cent. of
anhydrous az ID in distilled water, a color
less liquid, with the odor of bitter almonds.
The dose is from two to six drops. One
half grain of the anhydrous acid is suffi-
cient TO produce death. 1t i used in medi-
cine in correcting diseases of the stomach,
also whoopins cough and the last stages
of consumpt IN.
1t is very volatile and the fumes will de-
stroy vegetable life, causing the stems of
plants to witLer and dry up. Its effect on
the lower animals is similar to its action
on man, wit the exception of the horse
and the hyena, upon whom il does not ap-
pear to produce any impression. In fatal
doses it causes death quickly by paralyz-
ing the hearts action. After death the
rieor morris cots in, and in few moments
the unfortunate subject is stiff a
board.-St. Louis Republic.

MIX for Consumptixes.

Cows in Norway have been credited with
the power of extracting sustenance from
stones which travellers in that country
have seen them licking. A more substan
tiai diet is found for them in the winter in
some parts of the country, where provender
of all kinds is scarce, in the shape of heads
of the Goldfish, which are pounded into a
mash. The milk of cows so fed tastes
strongly of cotffiver oil and cannot be pleas
ant to drink, yet with all of its unpleasant
ness it may lie very valuable to consump-
tive patients.-New York Telegram.

laced with words usually represented by
dashes.
NOTHING SATISFACTORY.
Our Republican friends insisted that
Cleveland would smash the Democratic
platform in his letter of acceptance, and
they found fault with him in advance.
Well, he approved the platform and they
still find fault with him. We fear they
will find nothing satisfactory in this
campaign or election.
DOOMED.
Cannon must be defeated" said a
Republican from the so-called Cannon
district. He will not get any of the votes
he lost two years ago, and will lose
more. He never forgives, and we
understand it, and propose at this cleo
ton to kill him for once and all. There
is no compromise with wolf like him.
He must be eliminated from the politics
of the district.
NO BETTING.
And still we find the Republican poll
ticians unwilling to bet their money on

viii put up a few dollars, but this is
followed each time by quiet attempt
to hedge after lie thinks the matter over
TOO BIG.
Governor Fifer ridiculed Judge Altgeld
for shaking hands with the people in
the shops and business houses. Fifer
evidently regards himself as above shak-
ing hands with the common people.

The Folly of Drawing from Memory.
1.-THE man who draws is much more apt
to make a laughing stock of himself than
the one who writes said an artist, because
the errors in picture are discernible at
glance, while it is necessary to read an
article carefully before its mistakes can be
picked out. The folly of drawing from
memory an object with which one is not
perfes tly familiar has resulted in more
laughable pictures than have ever been
produced Intentionally by the caricaturists.
I ne world still laughs over the examples
on false perspective which Hogarth gave us
in a satirical moment, and not long ago
one of the comic weeklies brought a con-
k,.mporary to task in an illustrated skit
which showed that the offending drafts
man had put bones in the picture of a
skeleton where nature had never placed
them. All this has just been brought to
mind by an illustration on the first page of
an illustrated woman's magazine.
The picture represents young man
seated on a piano. Although his left arm
is extended to its full length, his fingers
reach over only about two-thirds of the
keyboard. Ten octaves are plainly marked
in the drawing and as the view of the end
of the instrument is cut off one is left in
the dark as to how many more there might
be. If the magazine would only produce
the man who played that piano it could
make fortune by exhibiting him. At
any rate, it is a nice family piano at which
all the members could easily play at the
same time. New York Evening Sun.

DON'T LIKE THEM.

Republican speakers and newspapers
continue to be dissatisfied with Judge
Altgeld's speeches, and are full of advice
to him on the subject. The judge is so
busy making votes that he has no time
to listen to them.
