LIVED WITHOUT LUNGS.
The Remarkable Case of Jesse Jordan,
of Portsmouth, Ohio.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

Portsmouth, o., Nov. 27.-The Ohio
Medical Society will have report of a
case which it is believed will interest
every physician in the United States.
Last January Jesse Jordan, a well-known
citizen, was stabbed in the lungs by an
unknown man. The wound produced was
thought to be necessarily and immedi-
ately fatal But Jordan recovered appar-
emily, and attended to business, then
broke down and fingered until yesterday,
when he fell dead A post mortem re
suited in marvellous discoveries. 1t
showed that the fifth rib had been com
pletely severed and the knife had entered
the pericardium.
The pericardium was found to be wholly
free from water. The object had attached
itself to the heart and become sohdifed.
A still more remarkable discovery was
yet to be made: that there was not the
slightest particle of lung. Both lungs
were absolutely extinct and evidently had
been so for days, perhaps weeks.
This condition is attributed to in1am-
nation, which is supposed to have de-
stroyed both lungs. They were gone at
any rate. How Jordan could exist with
out lungs is a mystery.

SOAP ON TROUBLED SEAS.
Studs Found Very Effective in Calm
ing Old Oceans Rage.

FROM the Hnllhuclpnla h6N ora
Soap suds may supersede oil as the
agency in calming troubled waters of the
sea. and saving vessels from harm. Ex-
periments have been made recently, and
the reports of co-operating observers to the
Hydrographic Office uniformly commend
the value of the new discovery. The
German steamship Scandal, from Ham
burg for Philadelphia, made the expert
ment with the greatest success in one of
the widest storms that ever swept the
North Atlantic ocean. While the sea
was running highest soap suds was left to
gradually drift over the vessels bow. The
sea ceased to break over her decks, and
the vessel lay comparatively easy. Third
Oficer Wendt had charge of the expert
ment, and his report speaks glowingly of
the success attending ii.
The use of suds is not intended to en-
tirely displace oil, but, being cheaper.
heavier on the water, and the suds occu-
pying less space on the ship, il is likely
before long to be generally adopted.

GET OUT THE FULL VOTEi

Governor McKinley's Advice to Ohio
Republicans at Akron Last Tuesday.
Il have an abiding faith that upon
the issues which are before US and
which divide US, the right will triumph
by the Judgment of the tribunal of the
people. Both parties can not be right.
l have confidence mistaken that upon
every issue presented by the Democratic
party the Republican party is right.
Its triumph, however, will not come
without effort and energy. We learned
last year that faith without works did
not win the victory. This year there is
confident spirit everywhere prevail
ing. We should be admonished by last
years experience that majorities are
not secured by confidence alone This
year let US accompany our confidence
with zeal, with work, with a full vote.
Never was a political contest in Ohio
more important, never an impressive
Republican majority more needed,
never its accomplishment more certain,
if all who believe alike will act together.
/ am sure the opportunity now given to
the people to make their voice heard
and needed. will not pass unimproved.
I do not appeal for a party triumph
merely, but for a cause which is the
peoples cause. rest my appeal upon
the principles and politics for which the
Republican party stands protection
and reciprocity, honest money and an
honest ballot. These secured and con-
tinued will insure the highest interests
of the people, advance the general well
fare, promote our industrial develop
ment, encourage the true American
sentiment, establish confidence in the
future and lift the clouds which have
settled upon the labor and enterprises
of the people,"

IF the Ways and Means Committee of
the lower branch of Congress had really
intended to be guided in any way by the
testimony laid beford them by the farm
ers. manufacturers and laborers, who
have appeared during the fifteen days
allotted to them for that purpose, what
action that committee will take In regard
to the tariff would not now be enshrouded
in any doubt From the beginning to
the close of the hearings the testimony
has universally been to the praise Of the
Mckinley law, and the plea that no
change In duties be made. Nor were
these pleas for no change confined to
Republicans. There has not been an
industry of any Importance before that
committee but what one or more Demo-
Gratis have appeared to urge that the
present duties be allowed to remain un-
disturbed. 1t certainly is humiliating
to Democrats elected to Office on free
trade platform and for others who voted
for free trade to be compelled to appear
before a free trade committee and plead
for protection, yet that spectacle has
been witnessed every day. Congressman
Ikert, though elected to reduce the tariff,
gulped down the principles he advocated
during the campaign and asked that the
tariff on pottery ware be not changed,
because, If reduced, the potteries at East
Liverpool would either have to close or
cut down the wages of their employees.
Likewise Governor McCorkle, of West
Virginia, forgot the things he said about
the iniquity of the Mckinley tariff and
humbled himself sufficiently TO plead
that the duty on coal be allowed to re-
main as at present. The editor of the
Cleveland Plain Dealer, too, went before
the committee 70 plead for the tariff on
lead ore, because he is interested in that
industry. These are onlya few illustra-
tions of the way Democrats, by their
acts, commended the Mckinley bill and
the list could be extended almost in
definitely. Not since the Mckinley bill
was enacted into law has there been
evidence of such weight and value as to
the wisdom Of the measure as has come
from Democratic sources during these
tariff hearings. But, of course, this tes-
timony, as incontrovertible and as telling
as it is, will have no weight to prevent
a change in the tariff. The Democracy
in Congress are determined to reduce
the tariff and play thunder generally,
and nothing will deter them, not even
though one raise from the dead and
warned them of certain destruction
awaiting the country.

THE Democratic majority in Congress
is determined that elections shall be free
and easy. No safeguards to protect the
right of the ballot shall be allowed to
stand. Every law which would punish
a Democrat for committing fraud is to
be repealed. To this end the repeal of
the Federal Election laws is to be pushed
through without delay. These laws ap-
ply to the East and West, to the North
and South, to Ohio as well as South
Carolina. But in South Carolina they
are particularly odious, and the same is
true of New York City, because under
them a Democrat who attempts or COM
mits fraud is taken in hand by the United
States Government. These laws are in
tended to insure free ballot and fair
count, and for this reason they are op-
posed by the party in power, because
they interfere with the liberties or Dem
ocrats who stuff ballot boxes.

THEORY VS.. PRACTICE.

Cincinnati Tribune.
The free traders would stand better
before the world if they would only
practice what they preach, that is, if they
would only, as our Methodist brethren
would put it, show their faith by their
works. 1t has been observed time and
again In the debates on tariff in Congress
that the most rabid of free traders in
theory were always touched with more
or less of protection in practice. The
member who would inveigh most strong
ly against the tariff as whole invaria-
bly, insisted on protection for one or
more pet industries of his home district
This has just been strongly corrobor-
ated by two striking instances before
the Ways and Means Committee for the
requirement of information on the re-
peal of the Mckinley bill. Congressman
Ikert, of Ohio, last fall was yawping
calamity on the stump and bowling
vociferously for election on the Chicago
hhlOh uCLOuhOCO IilO
ley bill as unconstitutional. He preached
| free trade with JUNCTION and vociferation.
But when it came to practice his theory
he went squarely back on his record,
and before the Ways and Means Com
mittee the other day he advocated with
eloquence and persistence high tariff
for the benefit of the potteries at East
IiyerDOOl in his district
The other instance is that of Governor
McCorkle, of West Virginia, who was
also before the Ways and Means Com
mittee. The result is best set forth in
the press report of the proceedings:
Governor Mckinley, of West Virginia,
said that he was not mine owner, but
the Governor of State which has 10000
square miles of coal mines and is just in
the beginning of progress. Continuing
the Governor eloquently spoke of the
natural advantages of his State and
made an earnest plea for the retention
of the duties on coal. He said he wanted
protection for the greatest industry in
his State.
When the Governor had finished Mr..
Tarsney asked:
"When were you elected Governor of
West Virginia?"
"Last November"

ARMsIRoNe PARK PICNIC.
Governor Mckinley and Past Com

Governor Mckinley and Past Com
mander Warner of Ohio Talk.
A fairly large crowd attended the
veterans jubilee at Armstrong; Park
yesterday afternoon TO hear the pension
question discussed by prominent MEM
bers of the u. \. r. The speakers ad-
vertised to address the veterans failed
to appear, with the exception of Gov
ernor Mckinley and Past-Commander
Warner of Ohio.
Governor Mckinley was first intro
duced, and spoke but few moments.
He said that he would be unable to
make an address for the reason that he
was on the program to speak at Tom
linson Hall in the evening and would
have to reserve his force for that oc
casion. In the few remarks he made
the Governor did not refer to the po-
litical situation. In concluding he eulo-
gized very aptly the work done by the
G. A. R. and the results accomplished.
He said: ''Some things are SO priceless
that nations must pay for them in blood.
We paid for this Union with the best
blood of the land. 1t was the best
young blood of the country. But they
did not fight in vain. Mr.. Lincoln said:
Let us, the living, advance that which
the dead begun The business of the
G. A. R. now is to preserve the great
work wrought in that civil conflict.
Whatever else they may take from US
they can not take away our patriotism.
We will continue to fight for the coun-
try if every pension ever granted is
taken away from US. 1t gives me
pleasure to greet you, comrades. love
you all. There is no comradeship in
this world like that of fighting for a
common cause"
After leaving the stand Governor
Mckinley was picked up by his COM
rades and carried on their shoulders
through the crowd. No other speakers
being present, Master Clifford Grapes of
Columbus, o., the champion boy sol
der, gave an exhibition of his skill in
military tactics. The Mary Logan
cadets of Columbus, o., gave exhibition
drills during the afternoon before de-
lighted groups of G. A. R. men. Late
in the afternoon Past Commander War
ner of Ohio arrived and spoke to his
comrades for short time He referred
in very bitter terms to the actions of
the present Administration in regard
to the pension question. ''It seems
strange" said the Commander, ''that at
this late day there should be any ques-
ton about pensions and their distribu-
ton. 1t seems strange that man who
suffered in defense of his country should
have to be troubled about the pension
question"

Mckinley Accepts Meals Challenge.
tChicago Evening Journal.l


If Larry Neal thought that he was
going to terrify Governor Mckinley by
the boast that he would make an active,
aggressive, offensive fight from start to
finish he has missed his reckoning.
That is just the kind of fight that the
Governor welcomes. The more out
rageous and extravagant the claims of
the apostle of free trade become the
heavier will be the Republican majori-
ties in Ohio this fall. As rule it is
dangerous to make political prophecies,
but nothing can be more certain than
that the people of the Buckeye State
will sustain their magnificent manu-
factures against the assaults of ire
sponsible theorists.
There would have been no doubt
about the outcome even if the Demo
Gratis had stopped with the advocacy of
their so-called tariff reform, but Neal
goes way beyond this. He wants to ex-
punge the foul blot of protection from
the fair escutcheon of our grand and
mighty Republic" No one can deny
his courage. which, however, resembles
the courage of the bull defying the To-
connective. Protection has been the
policy of this Government almost from
the beginning. If it is not embodied in
the Constitution it has had the approval
of generations of Americans, in whom
full authority over the Constitution
itself resides.
1t is with supreme confidence, there
fore, that the Governor accepts the
issue on the grounds of both principle
and expediency. He says truly: You
can not have a revenue tariff or free
trade in this country without a COM
plete readjustmento of business, not only
in the so-called protected industries.
but in every department of American
enterprise and industry"
Are the people who have prospered so
wonderfully under protection prepared
to make the change? Mr.. Watterson
imagines that they are and so do David
A. Wells and the school men. So far
as we know, however, Mr.. Neal is the
only professional politician who has
dared to come out squarely for the de-
struction of our industries. If he gets
hall of the ordinary Democratic vote of
Ohio the majority of his supporters will
cast ballots against their own convic-
tions

Over 100 years ago the United States
became Independent politically of Great
Britain. Since 1882 the Democratic
party has been endeavoring to keep the
United States commercial dependency
of Great Britain. Governor McKinley,
voicing the sentiment of the Republican
party, desires this country to be indie
pendent of Great Britain and every
other foreign country, both politically
and commercially. Lawrence T. Neal.
voicing the beliefs of the Democratic
party, thinks it better that we be mere
ly dependency commercially upon
foreign countries-of England princi-
pally. That is why the British press
reJoiced at his nomination and would
exult if he should gain the election. 1t
Is for the voters of Ohio to decide who
1t shall be. If you favor British policy
vote for Neal, if you believe in America
for true Americans, native and foreign
born, vote for Mckinley. There is nc
dodging. the issue.

THE WISCONSIN FIRES.

Cleveland Leader.
Rains within the last day or two have
mitigated but not put an end to the
horrors of the forest fires which nave
been raging In dozen counties of
Northern Wisconsin. There is reason
to hope that the progress of the flames
has been permanently stopped in many
directions and that the worst is over.
At best the misery resulting from these
fires is almost beyond calculation. Many
lives have been lost, and hundreds of
families, in most cases poor settlers in
new clearings, have been rendered des-
titute. Their homes have burned, their
domestic animals have perished, and
their crops have been consumed. The
destruction of millions of dollars worth
of fine timber, while serious loss to the
country now that the great pine forests
are being pretty well thinned out, is not
so pitiable because the burden falls
chiefly upon rich men and corporations.
Considered in all aspects the Wisconsin
forest fires are one of the most terrible
calamities of the year. A new and wide
field has been opened for charity in this
season of unusual and heavy demands
upon the resources and generosity of the
American people.
