whisky Not an Antidote for Poison.


whisky Will never cure a poisonous
snake bite said Prof Theodore a.
Schurr. the naturalist. The idea that
whisky is an antidote for the bite of a
ratt,esnake or any other venomous reptile
is deIusion so popular and general that
1 always take special pains TO correct and
expose ii in my lectures. Whisky never
will or never did cure any one bitten by
a snake but because some person took
some whisky, after being bitten by
harmless snake and recovered, he attrib-
uted his cure TO the whisky. and so the
idea gained circulation. / have never
known a case TO be cured by the use or
whisky and have known several cases
where il had been used TO result fatally.
Whisky only adds additional poison 20
the system instead OF removing and de-
stroying that of the snake.
The only thing that will cure peron
bitten by a rattler or other poisonous
snake IS the use OF permanganate OF pot
ash This is an effectual cure IN almost
every instance. The venom of reptile IS
injected into the blood. and the poison de-
stroys the blood globules. I was bitten by
a RATHER on my index finger, and immedi-
ately took my pocketkn.fe and made
deep incision near~the wound. so that the
poison could not be taken up and distrib-
uted through my system. The bitten part
was then cauterized. and II caused me no
trouble whatever. Whisky is not very
good TO use at any time, and no good for
snake bites"

Yesterday the Spirit OF seventy-Six. the
local organ OF the A p. A, brought dis
credit upon every reputable member of that
organization BY publishing the following
foul and damnable lie in big. black type:
1T is currently reported this morning
that a deal has been made between the
Ammiaown water gang and the Romanlst
priests whereby the Romish institutions
are 10 receive water FREE II the Catholic
vots IS cast against the city and the water
pirates are victorious. Americans, support
your city and defeat such an Infamous
conspiracy
IL Is a lie, because even IL the city should
make a contract with the power company.
II would be impossible for 1t to supply any
person or institution in this city except by
vote of the city council. which would have
as complete control OF the distribution OF
the water as IL has now.
The fact Of the matter is that now and
for years past every charitable institution
in the city, Protestant and Catholic. has
been receiving water free by order OF the
city council.
The election on Tuesday has nothing
whatever 10 do with the contract. the
question is. Shall the people give the city
council the right TO incur an additional
indebtedness of U.2500O?" II has no
more to do with the question OF a contract
than 1t has with the question OF buying
another pump.
But even IL it had, all the power COM
pany proposed to do was to bring the
water into the reservoir. Thence IL would
be distributed, as It is now. through the
city's own mains and pipes. the city pay
ing so much per thousand gallons. Even
II the power company wanted TO give
water away it would have no means to do
1t with. and the rate to be charged would
then as now be absolutely within the con-
troll of the council
We denounce as Infamous this vile at
tempt TO import into purely business
and economic question any of the warfare
OF bigotry. In the matter of the school
election and the charter commission, the
A. r. A. exercised its lawful rights in en-
tering upon "A campaign concerning educa-
ton and general theories OF good govern

II lowers an organization whose aims are
professedly lofty TO the level of scurrihty.
falsehood and baseness.
Surely. the question of whether Il Is ex-
pedient or not for a city to incur an enor-
nous debt can De discussed by intelligent
citizens without resorting 10 such meth
DDS. II begins 20 look as II some OF the
advocates OF tie debt are realizing that
the intelligence Of the city Is opposed 10
their scheme. and that their only hope OF
success Is 10 pander to the ignorant and
easily guilIhle. The false publication OF
this "rumor." which can have no base. is
the foulcst deed ever pcrpe,rsted with
view 20 influencing a local controversy.

Naming babies Grover c." is not so

Revenue OF Suez Canal.

San Francisco Shipping List
England's revenue from the Suez canal
according 10 a consular report dealing
with the subject shows that during 1894
the gross receipts of the company were
1888. 50. which compares with sl4,764.-
$3.50 in 1898. and If the revenue OF the
tramway from Port Said TO Ismalia and
the lands and water company are ehmin-
ated, ii viii be found that the actual re-
ceipts from the vessels that used the
canal were s650, 500 higher than in the pre-
vious year. Expenses were SIS, 95S. so
smaller than in 1898. Taking the whole OF
the charges of every kind, including the
interest and sinking fund on the bonds.
the per cent. interest which is paid on
the whole OF the capital and sum OF
$4,000 for renewals and Improvements, we
get a total OF lbs, s34. % which, deducted
from the gross revenue of sl5.390, 230. so
leaves sS.224. 396. 40. Out OF this sum the
council recommended the placing OF $780,,
9Sl.60 to the reserve, thus bringing IL up to
81 ,l5o. 93l.oo. Thus there remained for dis
tribution among the shareholders sS.073,-
$3.50, and each share in addition to the
per cent, which is first paid, Will receive
for 1894 dividend of s1420. The gross
yield on SueZ canal shares for
the last year consequently comes
up 10 1880, or Is per cent, or, after
deducting the tax, to SIS net. An impor-
tant period was reached in July. 1894,
when the last OF the fifty coupons that
had been detached from the khedive's
shares in 1863 was paid. The security
known as delegations has, therefore,
been extinguished, and the whole of the
shares held by the British government are
now in receipt of dividends. Since the
holding of England amounts TO lie, 400

Senator Mitchell. % Oregon. on Wecnss-
day presented letter and accompanying
records TO the senate from II. A Dupont.
claiming the right 10 be admitted 20 that
body as a senator from the state of Della
ware. The decision OF the question viii he
awaited with much interest by those who
followed the Iong-drawn-out Delaware con-
test and the impression gained from inter-
views with the members OF the senate
seems to be that the claimant Will be given
the seat he asks for. The point to be de-
cided IS whether the speaker Of the Della
ware state senate. who was then the act
ing governor. had a right TO vote in the
election OF United States senator. IF he
had such right. then Mr.. Dupont did not
receive majority of the votes OF the
legislature IL he had not such a right,
then there can be no question as TO Mr..
Dupont's election.
The Delaware constitution says that no
member OF congress, nor person holding
any office under the United States or this
state. shall exercise the office OF governor.
The evident meaning OF this provision is
that while a person holding office in the
state may succeed to the governorship N
the case of a vacancy created by death,
removal or resignation, such person can
not exercise" the functions Of both Of
fees. Another section of the state consti-
tuition declares that mo person holding any
Office under this state or the United States
shall, during his continuance in office. be
senator or representative" The words
senator" and representative" in this Sec
ton refer to the state legislature, and they
lead TO the inevitable conclusion that when
Speaker Watson assumed the Office OF gov
erpor upon the death of Gov. Marvil he
thereupon ceased TO be a state senator.
and therefore had no right under the con-
stitution TO vote on the election OF a United
States senator. This being true. the total
Twenty-Five instead OF thirty, and the fif-
teen votes cast for Mr.. Dupont constituted
a majority and effected his election.
Upon this showing il would seem that
there could be little doubt as to Mr.. Du-
points right 10 the seat as a senator from
governed by ITS own rules and precedents,
and it may not be restricted in its action,
even by so formidable document as O
state constitution. The contest does not
lie between two men OF opposite parties,
and for that reason partisanship may
not enter into the determination of the
merits of the case. Mr.. Dupont therefore
stands very good chance of being seat
ed. and. IL that is done, there is little doubt
that 1t will be an action agreeable to the
wishes OF the people of Delaware.
