The Cars Condition.


BERLIN. Oct, 9-Professor Leyden,
the specialist, recently in attendance
upon the czar, says: "rhe czar has q
powerful constitution and still weighs
200 pounds, though he has lost much
flesh since January /. and he should be
able to make good fight against the
disease with favorable climatic influences,
as at Corfu on the island of Madeira, and
without unforeseen complications he may
recover. The illness of the czar is
peculiar. HIS principal trouble Is gran
ulated contraction of the kidneys, IN
which the kidneys become hard and
change tissue, besides being subject TO
arrophy. This Is accompanied by hyper
trophy Of the heart, resulting from the
This latter leads to the breathing
difficulty, and is often very painful, the
spasms being complicated by fits of un-
consciousness. This is the case with the
czar. There Is no dropsy, however. I.
Diabetes in the preliminary stage has
declared itself, but it is merely symps
thetic and the accompaniment OF the
main trouble. When further advanced,
this frequently results In partial or entire
paralysis. Thus far. however, there does
not appear to be any immediate danger
with the czar. The most important re-
quirement is total abstinence from mental
worry, and on this point the czar has
been found exceedingly difficulty to con
vince. The patient should have plenty
of sleep and food digestion be regular
This with open air exercise and good
climatic conditions is all that Is necessary
to effect cure. Under the most favor
able circumstances, however, the disease
is Of lengthy duration, possibly years,
and the results are most uncertain"
Referring TO the prospects OF regency
in Russia, Professor Leyden remarked
"rhe question of the appointment of q
regent was discussed at Spala In my
pressDce, but no decision was reached. y
Professor Leyden concluded: "a regency
become necessary, however, if cure i:
effected"

DENOCRATIe BENEFITS /.

Democracy, pure and uudefiled, is
deceit and duplIcity, and at present
the press of the party are attempting
to prove that times are good. Here
is the latest in this line from the
Walla Wala Statesman:
"The Indications everywhers indi-
cate that an era of great business
prosperity is dawning upon the country.
The beneficial effects of Democratic
legislation will soon be felt BY every
one. The farmer will reap the bene-
fits in greater demand and better
prices for all his products and Q re-
duced cost for all his necessaries. The
mechanics and toilers viii feel the
good effects by steady employment at
fair wages. Of course, the blighting
effects of McKinleyism and Republi-
can NAL administration cannot be
cured in day. it will take some
time, but it will come"
The "ers of great business pros
perity" is dawning very obscurely.
and the most sanguine can not see
anything that is encouraging. Less
wages are paid and lower prices for
farm products than ever before
known in the history of the country.
while the cost of living and clothing
have not diminished. There is greater
destitution among the poorer classes
and more men out of employmen. than
at any previous period. And ell these
affections have come upon Us since the
change of administration voted in
1892, and these have been the bene
fits (D OF Democratic legislation. The
mal-administration (D of the Repub-
Iican party paid labor the highest
wages, made the largest deposits in
savings banks, built up American in
dustries, paid off the national debt,
gave employment to thousands and

From varioas sections come reports
that the populists are breaking up
This has been bad year for that
party. 1t must be conceded that a
large proportion of the rank and file
of Populists broke away from old party
moorings with the honest intention of
aiding in the political better@ent of
the country. The Popullst party,
with many good platform doctrines,
although tinctured with extravagant
idiosyncracies, seemed to offer the OPP
portuuity sought. They entered the
party in good faith, but the conduct of
the leaders has been too much for
them. The indorsement of the folly
and vandalism of the Cokeyites and
the lawlessness and dishonesty of
Debsism is now being supplemented
with political chieansry in primaries
and conventions. Men OF good sense
and integritg of character observing
these things are rapidly dropping
a way FROM these irresponsible doings
and accepting again their old places in

HsTHoDls4 AND THE LAW.

The series OF resolutions adopted oy
the Methodist conference at Galena
Illinois. recently, was quite character
| istic Of that denomination. Method
ism has always been an active princi-
| pls on the side OF moral and practi-
cal right, not content to be simply
conservative of the laws of order. The
church hes vigorously and earnestly
sspoused truth IS Ut hss conceived the
truth, and has been forward to ad-
vance those interests which serve the
vslfsre of mankind in general, and
has not confined itself to the further
ance of sect belief merely. If that
church has sometime been divided be-
cause Of Its differences on special
points Of faith, it has never been 81
lent when it should speak for univer-
sal truth, it has never been dormant
when socjety required its wakeful en-
ergy.
In the present case it has taken an
initiatory step in the support of good
and lawful government that should ex-
cite the emulation of ail other demon
nations, to the end that we may have
united church serviceabIe in the
cause of true government, morally and
politically, without respect to the mar
Tovnesses of partisan prejudices and
ambitions. If the public mind,
through the Christian influence of an
earnestly vital church, and through
the cooperation of men who occupy
positions of public significance, either
as teachers or writer's, could be stim-
ulated to 9 decisive recognition of the
fact that sit is the bigh duty of may
ors, governors, and our president to
put down lawlessness, preserve peace,
aud the privilege of unmolested labor
for all people," there might be a
speedy settlement of most of those |
difficulties that now threaten the se-
surity of our political system and i'm
peril the safety aud welfare of society. |
The Methodist ministers are quite
right in declaring that it is their duty
ito bring social questions into the
pulpit" duty which the church,
too limited view of its mis-
lion, is apt to neglect, assuming that
he socio-political status of man is
.part, their province.
The beatitudes amount to little
when preached in the presence of un-
'ebuked lawlessRess, and spiritual
grace may be pleaded in vain when

STONE ON STATES RIGHTS.

This is the year 1894, the year in
which both houses of congress ap-
proved the prompt action of the Presi-
dent in sending troops for the sup
preston of insurrection at Chicago,
the year in which Southern Louisiana
renounces Democracy, and it also is
the year in which Governor Stone. of
Missouri, has exalted the doctrine of
state rights as cardinal TO the Demo
Gratis of his state, says an exchange.
Nine .tenths of all who can and do
read are agreed that Governor Stone
has made his speech just thirty-tbree
years too late. What the governor
said at Osrthage on October 9Th. would
have sounded very nicely had it been
said before a southern audience in
September, 1861.
When scholarly man, such as Gov
ernor Stone is, comes into the open
and proclaims in tones of horror,
federalism still is active" the eae,t
is amusing. Nothing'else than FEEDER.
alism has been active since the event
at Appomattox, or, indeed. since the
prior even at Fort Sumter. Nothing
else seems likely to be active for long
years to come. Populism and social
ism are Federalism in the extreme.
Repu 5licanIsm is conservative Feder-
aiism. Democracy, as generally in
terpreted by President Cleveland,
Postmaster Hesing, Governor Altgeld,
and others, is just plain imperialism
masqueradlng AS Federalism. These
gentlemen. one and all, regard the
persons under them ae their personal
servants-letter carriers to be psraded
at the whim of the postmaster, trus-
tees of charitable institutions and
park commissioners to be discharged
as unceremonbusly as cooks and
grooms are discharged, ministers tc
foreign powers to be described as "My
commissioners" The one censerva
tive force, Fsderalistic but cautiously
so, is the Republican party. All Other
agencies are rushing toward kerry dan.
gerous centralifation Of power.
Governor Stvne insists that "the
Police power belongs to the states.
So it does. The police also belong to
Podunk and to Squeezersville.. But
if the police power of these beautiful
and progressive municipalities prove
insufficient or inefficient for the pro-
lection of The people against riot the
state will use part of its police power
in aid Of that Of the municipality. In
like manner it is true that, while po-
lice power belongs to Missouri and
illiaols, it also belongs. in larger
degree, to the q United States of Amer
lea, and whenever the police power OF
a state cannot or will not protect the
lives and properties Of United States
citizens the police power of the United
States will intervene.
The time for pratIng or palavering
about the supremacy or sovereignty of
states has passed. Wherever an active,
wise, and brave governor is at the
head of common wealth the peace of
tina. commonwealth is likely to be
preserved against domestic insssrec-
tion by the prompt use of the forces
of the state. Bat where the governor
is unwise, irresolute, shiftY, anarchis-
tic. or unpatriotic, then and there the
federal government will send troops.
