Six years ago when Gladstone ap-
pealed to the British nation upon the
Irish home rule question, he was de-
feated, by a result of combinations,
by majority of 100000. At that
time he remarked: ''It's mighty adj
vantage to have a nation at our back
for nation never dies" He believed
then that the nation was really back
of him, and time has proved the right
eousness Of his faith. In the recent
elections the majority of the
opposition has dwlndled away and
given place to majority in his favor,
of more than 100000.

THE opponents of the anti-option
bill are trying to make capital in
their favor, by publishing a state
ment that Senator Washburn lost
$500, 900 in deal on the Chicago
Board of Trade, a matter which the
senator emphatically denies. But
supposing their statement was true,
what has it to do with the passage of
the anti-option bill? That measure
may or may not be able to do what
its friends claim for it, but the ques-
ton of what Senator Washburn may
have made. or lost ''on change" at
some period in the past, is no argu-
ment one way or the other.

IN his remarks accepting the Dem
ocratic nomination for the vice-presi-
dency, Adlai Stevenson said: BE
lieving in the right of every voter to
cast his ballot unawed by power, the
Democratic party will steadily oppose
all legislation which threatens, to
imperil that right by the interposi-
tion of federal bayonets at the polls"
1t will be noticed tnat Mr.. Stevenson
entered no objections to the shotgun
policy or to have shotgunsat the polls.
Of course he prefers them in the
hands of Democrats.

McCLEARY IN THE SECOND.

The nomination of j. T. McCleary
as the Republican candidate for con-
gress in the Second district will be a
source of extreme qualification to
those old-faShioned RepublicanS-and
they are numerous-whO like to see
high station bestowed as re ward Of
merit and honest effort. Mr.. Nc
Cleary is man totally inexperienced
in the science of practical politics.
Prior to his present nomination he
b ad never even served as delegate
to convention. He has been an
educator for many years and has filled
the position of principal of the Man
kato Normal school with credit to
himself and to the institution.
During the past few months he has
made many political speeches-nOt
pleas in advocacy of his own prefer
ment, but addresses on political top
les intoxicating sound Republican doc
trine. He made a special study of
finance and economics and has done
much for the enlightment of the vot-
ers of his district on those subjects.
His studies and his abilities as de-
bator have qualified him to an emf
nent degree for a congressional ca
reer.
Mr.. McCleary's nomination has
come as tribute from the plain peo-
pie of his district to the ability, in
tegrity and popularity of one of the
people. 1t has been obtained by no
wire-pulling, neither has there been
a suspicion of improper methods in
the whole transaction. 1t is NOM
ination of the old-fashioned sort
won by merit.
As member of the national house
of representatives, Mr.. McCleary will
reflect honor upon his district, his
state and his party.-Minneapolis Iri-

SEVERAL Democratic papers in re-

that Donnelly was willing to sacrifice
his party if he could obtain an endorse

Democrats seemed to be willing to

of spoils, except to swallow Donnelly.

DIET AND health.


Man Could Live Hardly Longer Than
Week ON Asparagus Alone.
Especial interest attaches to DR.. Sails
bury's food experiments The half dozen
sturdy fellows whom he put ON a diet of
baked beans and coffee exclusively, all
showed symptoms Of locomotor ataxia,
or progressive paralysis, on the tenth
day, and by the sixteenth day not one Of
them could walk straight without sup
port; all had chronic diarrhea, heart
palpitation and oppressed breathing
-Four hearty, well men were put on
oatmeal porridge seasoned with butter,
pepper and salt-with pint Of coffee
containing sugar and milk at each meal.
Constipation, fatulence, headache and
dizziness We're affecting them all on the
eighth day. In two days more these con
ditions had become violent; exertion pro-
duced heart palpitation, and they were
full of wandering pains, with pricllling
in feet and hands.
These disorders grew more intense and
painful-with neuralgia induced in three
cases-until from the twenty-third to the
twenty-fifth day, when diaIrhea set in,
and the record is full Of such entries as
Eyes wild, hearing impaired, head CON
fused, memory poor, legs and feet numb,
quite deaf and listless, heart palpitates
and very Irregular up TO the thirticth
day, when it was deemed imprudent and
unsafe to carry the experiments further,
and in four days more, by meat diet
and hot water, the men We're restored TO
normal health. 1t may be well TO OBJ

| quickly cured Of their abnormal condi-
| tions by those means.
Violent chronic diarrhoa, such as often
prevails in armies and is known rs

clusively upon army biscuit in fromnine-

Gemany's New Twin Guns.
The German emperor was present al
some experiments conducted at Meppen
with a new twin gun against arnol
plates. The idea is that by firing the
guns simultaneously at one object, tn,
crushing force Of the two projectiles will
be such that tho stoutest armor must
give way before such shock. In or
der that this may really happen, it is
obviously necessary that, ia the first
place, the explosion in each gun should
be effected at the same fraction Of a sec.
ond, that the charges should be exactly
equal and burn exactly the same time
that the shots should be Of exactly the
same weight and that they should reach
the object aimed at simultaneously. Such
accuracy is extremely difficult to com
pass, and it is believed that very con
siderable trouble viii be necessary be-
fore the object in view can he realized.
