SOMEBODY has said that at times all men
are insane. In view of the disgraceful scenes
enacted at the town meeting last night we
believe that there is more than a modicum
of truth in the assertion. Men ranted and
raved and the excitement reached such a
high pitch that many left the hall through
fear that the whole thing would
end in free fight. After the
smoke of battle had cleare away
it was learned that an appropriation
of $10, 900 had been made for special work
upon the town highways, the money to be
expended under direction of committee
of thirty citizens. There is considerable
doubt as to the legality of the latter clause,
and it is probable that the committee will
act with the selectmen. Let us hope So.
The DEMOCRAT is not in the habit of rails
ing the 81 told you so" cry, but it is apro-
pos in the present case. From the first we
held that the extraordinary demands for
aid be met by private subscription. Had
that been done a committee of five, with
the assistance of the press, would have
raised $10, 900 in q week. Too many COM
mittees were appointed and the work was
not conducted on practical lines. That is
what caused the rumpus at the town meet
ing. The vote to establish a private chart
table bureau was, of course, illegal.

Trouble Will Follow.
1t Should Be Understood and
Looked After Two.
Some Things Which People Cannot Well
Explain.
This may Be Absolutely New to the
Average Reader.

Many people wonder what it means when
there is tingling or prickling sensation
with more or less numb feeling in the
hands, feet or limbs. 1t means that there
is condition of the nerves which predis-
poses toward paralysis. If in addition to
the above sensations there is pain in the
head, general bad feeling with weak,
weary or excessively tired feeling in the
limbs it may be taken as certain that par
alysis will result if something is not imme-
diately done to avert this terrible disaster.
All should remember that in such cases
it is the neglect of these first symptoms
which result in the fatal and dreaded shock
of paralysis. If person will use the right
remedy when the above feelings and sensa-
tons appear, all danger of shock can be
warded off.
1t is a fact that paralysis and kindred
nervous diseases are increasing at an alarm
ing rate, thousands about us negleeting TO
realize what these first symptoms, SO ap-
parently trivial, really mean until they be-
come Frustrated.

W. Ryerson, who is a well known business
man, residing at 261 Eighth ave. New

which was followed in about two weeks by

The conservative and forbearing dispo-
sition of the administration in dealing
with the various phases of the Hawaiian
question has added to the good effect upon
public opinion of the publication, early
this week, of Commissioner Blount's re-
port, upon which the policy of the admin
istration was largely based. 1t has taken
no official notice of the very unusual and
injudicious action of Mr. Thurston, the
minister of the provisional govern
ment of Hawaii, in writing and giving to
the press an answer to Mr. Blount's report,
containing language that would not have
been tolerated from foreign minister by
any other government in the world Had
the administration upon the appearance in
the newspapers of Mr. Thurston's defense
sent that gentleman his passports no one
would have had any right to complain; it
would only have followed presidents set
by every civilized government in the
world including our own-the offense for
which Lord Sackville- West, the then
British minister, was sent his passports
was trivial compared with what Mr. Thurs
ton has done. 1t is not improbable that
President Cleveland in ignoring the bad
break of Mr. Thurston was influenced by
the thought that the Hawaiian minister
was perhaps only too anxious to pose as q
martyr. But whatever the object on either
side the fact remains that Mr. Thurston
was guilty of an act that would have
driven foreign minister from any other
country and that not the slightest official
notice was taken of it by the administra-
ton; and this forbearence is generally
recognized as altogether creditable to the

In the great momentum of the women

the fact that woman was power moral

tenth century as well as the nineteenth,
that the doors of the universities were
open to her not only to study but to
teach within their sacred precincts. In
the University Of Salamanca she had q
