John C. Speoner for Senator.

Thursday in the Republican legis-
| lative caucus ex Senator John G..
| Spooner was the choice for United
States senator. In the course of an
impromptu speech expressing thanks
for the compliment conferred, among
other things he said:
The Republican party came into
| power to fight the battles of liber-
| ty 1t lived to maintain the indie
structibility of the Union, to stand
| as the protector and guardian Of the
public credit and it has written in the
years since it was born and since
! Abraham Lincoln led it to it's first
great victory record of constructive
craftsmanship, of lofty purpose, Of
great achievements, not only imper-
ishable in it's glory, but one upon
which we cannot look without draw
ing from it an inspiration which
should enable us to fearlessly look to
the future and to go forward in solid
phalanx, determined always to main
tain, whatever may come, the great
principles which are SO dear to Us.
If our Democratic friends think
that in the face Of reverses the Repub-
lican party is in the slightest degree
dishsartened, they VIII find they
reckon without their host. 1t stands
to-day if we are right, and we believe
we are right, for the best interests of
all our people and it stands for the
maintenance of tariff duties upon
foreign made products, which shall
equal the difference in the cost of Ia
Dor here and across the sea; it stands
for the policy under which our
country has developed and under
which our people have grown pros
porous; it stands for All honest dol
lar, good everywhere; it never has de-
parted a hairs breadth from that
tradition of the party unless it be
tiAt the present silver law was a de-
parture from it and that law enacted
for temporary purpose IN order to
protect this country against a PERM
cious and threatened heresy, the I'M
limited coinage Of silver; it stands for
an enlightened and strong foreign
policy which shall take care of our
interests and Of our people every
where under the sun. 1t stands for
the right Of every citizen entitled I'M
der the constitution and laws to vote
to cast his ballot and haveit counted
and returned as cast; it stands for
the best methods of administration,
and never has there been better illus
tration of the wisdom Of Republican
policies and methods of administra-
ton thar that afforded by Benjamin
Harrison who on the 4th Of March
gives place to Grover Cleveland
[cheers and it is source of pride to
us all that one of the ablest and
most successful of the presidents CO.
adjutors has been an honored and
revered citizen of our own state-Un-
Gle Jerry. Cheers.

DURING the cholera scare last fall
many of the States and a large num-
Der of cities instituted quarantine
against New York. The transporta-
ton Of goods was stopped at many
points and business was seriously in
terfered with. That, too, when the
season was so far advanced that
there was comparatively little dan
ger. II Tammany succeeds in defeat
ing a National quarantine and the
disease should appear in that city,
New York will be quarantined against
by all the cities of the Union, and
they will not wait long either. 1t will
be the sorriest job Tammany ever
undertook, and one of the heaviest
in it's responsibilities.

What a Tammany Quarantine Means


New York Herald: Tammany has
shown it's hard in the house at Wash
ington. 1t wants to defeat National
quarantine and keep the matter in
it's own grasp.
A Tammany quarantine means a
political quarantine. That means the
subordination of the public health to
the exigencies of politics. 1t means
ineficiency, incompetency and dan
ger.
There must be no Tammany quar-
antine. Every consideration of the
public health, public welfare, and
public safety demands a thorough
National quarantine.
Congress should provide for this al
once. When the nation is menaced
by an epidemic all the resources oil
the Nation should be at command to
ward off the danger.
A national quarantine is Nation
al necessity. The sooner this vita
fact is recognized and acted upon the
better.

WHEN ex-President Hayes was a
young man thief who stole his watch
was captured and sent to the peni-
Tertiary. Mr.. Hayes regained his
watch, only to have it stolen again.
The second thief proved to be poor
man with a large family. Mr.. Hayes
pondered the matter, and resolved
never again to carry watch. He
adhered to this resolution. This story
is now making the rounds of the
press, though no one has come for
ward to vouch for it's truth.

The arduous labor which Mr.. Glad
stone, at the age of eightythree, has
recently bestowed on the draft of the
Home Rule bill, has called public at
tention anew to the extraordinary vi
tally, magnificent achievements and
remarkable personal history of the
greatest statesman of the British
Empire. Mr.. Gladstone has been en-
joying the health giving air of south
ern France in the hope of accumulate
ing sufficient physical strength to
bring him unimpaired through the
coming session of parliament, which
will be the most important since the
act of Union between Great Britain
and Ireland was accomplished. His
public career has been a wonderful
one indeed. When but % years Of
age, in 1882. he entered Parliament
as member for Newark, and three
years later held theimportant Offices
of lord of the treasury and Under
Secretary of State for the Colonies.

THE difference between the charac-

cratic party was forcibly illustrated
last week in the legislatures of Mas a

Lodge, an accomplished scholar and
an experienced Legislator; the latter,
controlled by Democrats, elected TO
the same high position Edward Muir

Overestimated Remedies.

Such alleged discoveries as the cure Of
cancer by the use of certain plant and
the elixir of life invented by Brown-Sequard
must be classed among the fungoid growths
which mark the decay of the scientific
mind. A word must be said, however, for
the exaggerated estimates frequently given
to new discoveries which are in themselves
of value, and it is not unfair to rank these
exaggerations among the fads of medical
men. When new drug or new medicine
is brought to the attention of the profess
sion, it is rarely understood fully. Before
1t may be properly classed a thousand ex
periments must be made with it, and dur
ing these experiments the good derived
from it is almost invariably overestimated.
This is owing to the law which governs the
effects of all medicines. for under this law
every medicine does good and evil.
As the good effects are often immediate,
while the evil take time to show them
selves, it naturally follows that they of the
more hopeful sort see the former only. A
striking instance of this is to be found in
choral, which when first discovered was
hailed AZ sedative having no evil in its
train. We know now the choral habit to
be as awful in it's effects as the morphine
habit. The lesson this teaches is obvious.
medicine must be thoroughly tried be-
fore we can say what it is worth, nor should
we allow ourselves to join the faddists who
hail the coming of the cure all at LASTLY
