Should We Advertise "QuackS" and
"FakcSS"

The above is the heading of a
thoughtful article in last weeks Dar.
ltngton Democrat, The Democrat
says:
"rhe above question has been dis.
cussed OF late in some of our ex,
changes and from all appearances the
question is still an open one.
We do not so regard it, 1t is a
closed question, so far at least MS this
paper is concerned; and we heartily
endorse the following clipped from the
article above mentioned:
"When The Democrat came into
possession of its present owners we an.
nounced our determination to stand
by our business and professional men
AT home. and acting on this theory we
have on several occasions refused to
advertise for certain transient con-
Germs whose reputation for honesty and
square dealing was questionable, to say
the least. Acting on the same
principle we cancelled an advertising
contract with " travelling NJ. d., whose
recent connections with the hospitals
at Berlin, Edinburgh and London"
would seem to equip him remarkably
we'll for his calling. We did not
then know and do not now know but
that the gentleman can do NIL that he
claims to do, even to curing certain
incurable diseases; but we do know
that We have u good corps of resident
physicians and we believe they are
amply prepared to administer to the
medical wants of our people"
The quack Is easily known by the
pretenslons which he makes. We are
far from saying that all travelling
physicians are quacks, but all who
make unwarranted and false asser.
tions In regard to their ability to cure
incurable diseases, are medical quacks
Of the most dangerous kind. We be.
lieve that It would be we'll for publish.
ers to demand the endorsement Of
local physicians before printing the
advertisements of travelling physicians
of whom they have no previous
knowledge. Every community has u
physician, or physicians, prepared to
administer to the medical wants Of
the people. In difficult cases, these
are the ones to recommend specialists
of known reputation and skill. Act
Ing upon the lines here indicated, with.
out making charges against any one,
this paper refuses, and VIII continue
to refuse, to publish advertisements
for travelling physicians, who fail, or
refuse, to secure the endorsement Of
men in whose judgment and skill we
have confidence.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Mr. McCreary,
dem, Kentucky, Chairman of the foreign
Affairs committee, offered d resolution
,etting apart next Friday and Saturday
Tor the consideration of the Hawaiian re.
port.
Mr.. Hit. rep Illinois, seconded tho re-.
quest, but Mr.. Boutclle, rep, Maine, rose
to u matter of privilege and ~endeavored
TO call up his resolution relative to
Hawaii offered before the recess. Mr..
Turner, dem Georgia, held that the Bou-
tellc resolution was not privileged and
made a point of order against It. Tho
chair. after hearing Mr.. Turner, held
that Mr.. Boutellc had a right to call the
matter up. The resolution was read and
the question of consideration, stating
that he wished to 70 ahead with the
tariff bill. McCreary then made another
effort to have Friday and Sal.
nrday set apart for the consideration Of
the Hawaiian matter. after some discus
sion a vote was demanded on the gu stion
OF consideration raised by Mr.. McMiilin.
The rising vnte was-ycas 81, nays rs.
MIR. Boutelle demanded tellers. pending
which Mr.. McCreary demanded the yeas
aud nays. The latter motion was agreed
to. The vote resulted-yeas 8, nays 1875,
showing that flibustering had begun.
Mr.. Bontellc made the point of no
quorum and Mr.. McMillin moved a call of
the house. This was ordered.
The call of the house disclosed the
presence of 203 members, more than a
quorum, but the latter disappeared again
when 1t came to the voting point and the
nonsc at 2 y. M. adjourned without taking

AN ELPHANr HUNS AMuck.

A yr-ii1.. JtxeitinE Half-Hour Spent BY
Citizen of New Orleans.
New ORLEANS, La, Jan. Am ele
plant belonging to the Nickel Plats
Circus broke loose from its keeper and
created CONSERVATION among the pc
destrians n the vicinity of Royal and
CONT streets. The Infatuated animal
mounted the sidewalk where there was
a number of people passing, and there
was q wild scramble to get away from
danger. The beast soon had the street
completely cleared of people.
There was q diminutive horse at
tached to an ice wagon standing near,
and the elephant grasping the horse
around the stomach with his trunk,
jerked it from between the shafts and
dragged it some distance before lie
threw it violently upon the rocky pave
msnt. Satisfied with its work, the
beast again took the sidewalk. With
one blow OF its huge trunk it broke
down an iron gate and demolished a
show case in front of q toy and notion
store. BY breaking down q door, it
gained entrance through an alleyway
into A. Rossl's backyard. A double
door leading into the kitchen was
wrenched from it hinges and the ele-
plant proceeded to demolish things
right and left An oil stove was burn
ing in the place and evidently not lik-
Ing the smell of the gasoline, the ami
NAL made a break for the street. The
members Of the family were frightened,
bit succeeded in mounting the stairs to
the second story and thus escaped.
The animal with wild trumpetings
dashed on down Royal street, pursued
by a number of citizens and police who
had gathered in the meantime. and WAS
finally captured.

The Shooting at Hartford.

SIouN FALLS. S. d., Jan. 3.-Henry
Smith who shot Fred Foster, probably
fatally, at Hartford. was arrested and
brought TO Sioux Falls yesterday. He
is Il nephew of the we'll known popu-
list, Henry w. Smith, and is a young
man who has always borne a good
reputation. Smith had just had
tr, uble with another man and was
going back into the dance hall when
Foster accosted him aud tauntcd him
because there had not been n fight.
Smith called Foster an unprintable
name and Foster struck Smith with a
billy knocking him fiat and climb
Ing upon him. There was a
.cuffe and Smith says Foster
said he would kill him. When Smith
heard this he says he took out his re-
volver and shot. 1t is not til aught that
Foster can live. Smith is now in Jail
here. His preliminary examination
will take place Us 500 as the results OF
Fosters wounds are ascertsined. Smith
has been in the habit OF carrying a re-
%volver, us he has been travelling with a
threshing crew and took his weapon to
protect himself ngainst possible rob-
berry. He is overcome with grief at the
outcome OF the fight, but thinks he
will be able to clenr himself without
difficulty.
The facttthat misfortunes never come
singly was cxemplifed in this case.
Mr.. and Mrs. Foster were on their way
TO Hartford to take care Of their son,
VINO was mortaliy wounded, when a
telegram was received announcing the
fact that their daughter in law, Mrs.
Frank Foster, who lives near Montrose,
was dying. After arranging for the
care Of their son at Hartford the old
couple went on to Montrose.

INDIANS WHO GO WHALING.
The Makahs of Washington Make a Good
Living Out of the Sea.

The Makahs of Washington Make a Good
Living Out of the Sea.
The Malah tribe Of Indians of Neah
bay have been accustomed for years to
cruise on the ocean twenty or thirty
miles from Cape Flattery, boldly at
lacking whales. fur seals and sea lions,
catching halibut, the several varieties
Of cod, salmon and rock fish, all OF
which abound in great numbers about
the cape. 1t was in 1862 that the gov
ernment established a reservation and
agency ut Neah bay under charge
Of Henry Webster. The Makahs
are not an agricultural tribe.
They are entirely self supporting.
receiving only about $500 a year
from the government for educational
purposes entirely. They derive oil
their subsistence from the ocean. They
have been encouraged to procure a
larger class of vessels than the canoes
OF their ancestors, and they have been
allowed to w and command vessels
capable of making voyages to distant
.eas in pursuit of their vocation of seal
ng. whaling and fishing.
In 1869 sealing schooners first COM
nenced to take these Indians with their
:anoes to the sealing grounds, and
they thus acquired a knowledge of the
superior facility afforded by a
schooner for safety and comfort. It
was not before 1880 that any Iudian
had confidence enough to purchase and
sail a VESSEL of his OWL lurger than a
canoe. Gradually the Malsahs have in
creased their business, and having been
successful in their sealing, they now
own a fleet Of ten fine schooners. vary-
Ing in size from twenty-five to fifty
tons each. They start out in January,
as soon us the seals begin to appear in
the vicinity OF Cape Flattery, and
cruise south, following the herds along
the coast % the Columbia river, and re.
turning with the seals rs they
slowly wend their way north
to the Aleutian roolSeries. From the
Columbia river to Alaska the natives
know the coast and can navigate their
own schooners but, when they go to
Bering sea or to the Japan coast they
are compelled to take with them q
Caucasian navigator. The young men
Of the tribe arc exceedingly bright.
Most OF them attend the evening
school where they learn to read and
write English. Recently some of them
have been studying navigation, and it
will not be long before they will be
able to navigate their own vessels even
in foreign waters. Tho earnings OF
members of the tribe from scaling ag-
yregate over $40, 900 a year
Under the present law, as laid down
by the Bering sea tribunal in Paris re-
tently, the Indians have considerable
advantage over the white hunters.
Firearms nre strictly prohibited in
hunting seals, and this causes tho In
dians to adopt their old custom of hunt
ing with spears, ut which n large num-
Der of the tribe are adopts. Practical
sealers claim that the Indians will fare
much better than either the English OF
American sealers.

the crippled beast seemed dased. The
next instant, with one bound, he cleared
the table. freeing his paws from the
ropes. The chain about his neck did
not give way The two dozen spec
tators sought to escape. Nero's trainer
managed to attacls a rope about the
fore paws of the animal. Another rope
was fastened to his hind leg and he
was again secured.
An examination showed that his
right hind leg was fractured at the
thigh joint md that the joint was dis,
placed. A hypoderM.c injection OF
morphine was administered and the
fractured limb set in place and closely
bandaged. Nero was then returned to
his cage and tnken to temporary quar-
tiers. DR.. Busher said it was the first
cnse he knew OF where a lion had been
placed on an operating table.

At THE WHITE HOUSE.
An Old Woman Creates a Disturbance at
the New Years

An Old Woman Creates a Disturbance at
the New Years Reception.
WASHINGTON, Jan. THE official
social session in Washington began to-
day with tile regular New Years
reception the white house,
the first held in two years. A year ago
today the presidential household was
in mourning for the death Ct Mrs. Har-
rison und official social functions
were generally suspended. There was
nothing in today's reception that
differed materially from those of for
mer years. Just before the reception
began and while the carriages Of the
members OF the diplomatic corps
were arriving at the entrance to
the mansion, IN old woman appeared
and created u scene. The president,
she said, owed her q bill and she
wanted the money right away. She
would take possession CO the
white house and stay there until
Nj. Cleveland opened his purse.
IL was u case of no paw, no 90.
The statement OF the fact that today
was a legal holiday in the District OF
Columbia and that no debt could be
legally collected until tomorrow had
no effect on the old woman, but physi-
cal force and some strong moral per-
suasion induced her to 20 to a police
station. The receiving party stood in
the blue room, an oval shaped apart
ment, t%astefully and elegantly decora-
ted. This room was Mrs. Harrison's
pride, as the bedroom, recently decora-
ted, Is Mrs. Cleveland's.
