Up the sun and snow of her length. to where

SUCCESSFUL SKIN GRAFTINa.-Ths
operation of skin grating, which was
recently performed upon Elijah Tillmap
colored, at the Maryland General Hos
pital by Professor Blake, assisted BY
Resident Physician Duncan MacCall-
man and Dr.. Edward Whitney, has
been most successful. Tillman had
been a sufferer for 10 years from q,
chronic ulcer on the side of his faot. This
was very painful and prevented him
from plying his avocation. Several
months ago he; entered the hospital as
patient. Steps we're then taken by
the physicians to attemptlto heal the
sore, but all their treatment was of no
avail. At last Professor Blake decid
ed upon skin grating and the opera
ton was performed. The edges Of the
ulcer were trimmed away and the sur
face curetted. Two pieces of spider-
mis-, each 2x3 inches, were then gemov-
ed from the mans thigh and adjusted
upon the sore. The new skin has ad-

BRYAN AT GARRETT.

Yesterday, ex-Congressman w. ]. Bryan, of
Nebraska, spoke to fair-sized audience in the
city park, on the silver question Owing to
fourth of what it should and would have been
had the meeting been more literally advertised.
Even in Garrett, we heard people say they had
oeen no announcement of the meeting, and
knew nothing of it.
However, it was very good and a very in
telligent audience that greeted the speaker. A
majority of the crowd was composed of Popu-
lists, supplemented by the progressive, thought
full element Of the Republican and Democratic
parties and respectable sprinkling of party
Prohibitionists.
Mr.. Bryan was not oratorical but he gave
evidence of being terribly in earnest We shall
not attempt to give even a synopsis of the
speech, for we have not the space. 1t was an
excellent address, however, and was we'll re-
ceived, although the Populists did not agree
with the speaker altogether.
Mr.. Bryan is Democrat and thinks it pos
sible to force his party to. declare for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver. He was fair
enough to say, however, that unless his party
does so declare, he will cease to vote with that
party. Capt. John R. Foster, president of the
First National Bank of Garrett, here spoke up
and said unless the Republican party makes
the same declaration, he will cease to vote with
that party. Both men were honest in what
they said-they doubtless meant it; and there
are thousands of Democrats and Republicans
who are of the same mind
The speaker thinks the time is not yet ripe
for union of the silver men of all parties, but
that the time is not far off. He paid high
tribute to the Populists, and, although their
representation in congress was small, he gave
them credit with causing some much-needed
and very important legislation.
We may have cause to mention passages of
Mr.. Bryan's speech in the future, but can de-
vote no more space to it this week We are
glad he visited our city.

THEY WANT NO FUSION.

Following is portion of letter to the Farm
er's Tribune, of Des Moines, Iowa, from an
Alabama subscriber:
"The Peoples party executive committee is
called to meet in this city birmingham on
the 24th inst. Just for what purpose it has
been called the public is i'll profound ignorance,
but it is called to further the Benman- Goodwin
Altridge combine, viz: fusion with the Repub-
licans-that is, nominating a Republican for
governor. 1t will simply defeat the Popuists
at the next state and national election in this
state. Men who have deserted the Republican
camp will not vote the Democratic ticket; nor
will the voters who have left the Democratic
party and joined the Populists vote the Repub-
lican ticket. We have them both to beat before
we can get in power, and we may as we'll set
out to beat them both from the start as to fuse
with first one and then the other when both are
one and the same. If our executive committee
goes at such business as this, then we must
turn in and abolish the executive committee and
elect another committee that has some sense
besides office-seeking sense. We are contend
ing for principles as we'll as ofice-not offices
alone What good will it do the people of this
country if one set of men different from the
present set, but with the same principle, or no
principle at all, to get the ofices?-a la Demo.
crat in and Republican out-that's all. For
this reason oppose the trading off of our prin-
ciples. / believe in standing by our guns
every one, from the initiative and referendum
down to the free and unlimited coinage of si-
yer at the ratio of I6 to I.
"In Alabama, it is going to take more than
moral suasion and majority Of the ballots act
ually cast to elect and seat a governor, and,
therefore, the Populists will have to look to
man with the requisite amount of manhood and
grit, as we'll as ability, to take the Office after
he has been fairly and squarely elected; and
there is no earthly use of nominating or running
auy other sort. B. D. THuMATE."

CUISINES REDEEMERS."

BUSINESS REDEEMERS
During the last campaign, the voters were
assured that all Republican nominees were
"business men''-men of ability. Mr.. Morrill,
the head of the ticket, had helped to beat home
steaders; had banked and gotten unto himsel
wealth; therefore; Mr. Morrill, was "business
man." Mr.. Morrill, was quartermaster in the
army therefore, he was brave man. Mr..
Morrill, was Sunday school mar; therefore, he
was Cody man. When elected, Mr.. Morrill,
first act was to draw on the public treasury for
money to pay campaign bill. That was
business" Mr.. Morrill,, as governor, declared
he could not enforce the prohibitory law unless
public sentiment was behind the lava sample
of Mr.. Morrilrs courage. Mr.. Morrill, attend
was Zone of the boys" which may be taken as
an exhibition of Mr.. Morrill's Goodness.
Business" nowadays, is getting money, no
matter how it is gotten.
Courage is sneaking behind public sentiment.
Goodness is the gossamer web of long prayers
and stereotyped exhortations.
We witness the sublime spectacle in our Gre
deemer" business officials of the people
making laws through their Lawmakers, and
choosing men to enforce laws thus made, tax
ing themselves to foot the bills, and then find
ing their work valueless, because Cuisines"
"brave, ""Godly" governor must have, in add
ition to law and power to enfotce law, whole
lot of public sentiment.
Law is supposed to be all expression Of pub
lie sentiment, and are not the people behind
law?
The governor had all the prohibition senti-
ment and the power of the state of Kansas be-
hind him in the enforcement of the prohibitory
law the same as in other laws, but he required
monster meetings and private contributions be-
fore he would so much as lift a finger to perform
a sworn duty. Why? Is il not because of his
ante-election promises? He promised prohibit
tonsts to enforce the liquor law, and he prom
Used prohibitionists that he would not en-
force the law. If prohibitionists were quiet,
all would be we'll If prohibitionists "kicked,"
Mr.. Morrill, could sneak behind "public senti-
ment." The kick has been provided, and Mr..
Morrill, is hedging.
If there were large number Of thieves,
burglars and murderers, and Morrill, had PROM
ised them immunity, he could have demanded
a monster demonstration of public sentiment
before using his power to restrain law-breakers
along those lines of lawlessness with as much
consistency as in his attitude toward the violat-
ors of the liquor law.
So much for "business." So much for ere
deemers."
