Of equal value This is in limo with tho
testimony Of DIR. George +. Shradv Of
New York, who has successfully mo
duccd such complete insensibility to

otherwise painful feat of surgery upon
an injured hip
DR.. X. OSgood Mason OF the Same city
has recently claimed the complete curc
OF an extreme case Of dipsomania Hav.
ing put his patient to sleep and SO gained
mental control of him, tho doctor gave
HIM the suggestion that. on awaking.
he would dislike alcoholic drink in all
its forms. Tho next day the man went
to a saloon as usual, but cuuld not drink.
The odor Of the place filled him with
nausea. and DIR. Mason vouchcs for the
fact that he has never since been able to
bear tho taste of liquor.

has employed the new power with sue

to obtain guilty secrets from suspected
criminals and quoted eases where crimes
had been thus brought home to their
authors.

4 CIVIL SERVICE PROBLEM.

The recent occurrences In connection
with the Wooden Warehouse fire again
bring up the question Of the utility Of
the Civil Service Commission. Then
four men showed the possession Of Il
spirit which no amount Of examination
or inquiry on the part OF the civil ser.
vice could disclose, and yet 1t II the
spirit the possession Of which IL the
great essential to the successful pursuit
Of the dangerous avOcatiOn Of fireman.
Four men with oil the herOism Of
ancient Romans bravely risked and lost
their lives In the performance OF their
duty, which IL to defend the lives ana
property Of the citizens Of Chicago.
This Is the spirit that has made the
Chicago fire department immortal ana
the citizens secure In their homes. 1t
would be hard to figure out by any proc
ess Of ratiOcinatiOn the possession Of
such quality as this through the me.
dunn of a civil service examination.
The inquiring citizen to-day wonders
how many Prendergasts, or Sherrlcks,
or DOwneses, or O'DOnnells will he up
on the fire department when the Civil
Service Board shall have been a few
years In Office.
The answer will also decide whether
the Civil Service Commission will ulti
mately prove u curse or blessing to
Chicago.

Mr.. M'0ANN'S GOOD RECORD.

The new Congress will witness the
disappearance or a man who has been
a faithful party representative and one
of the most useful members Of the 5Oth
and 51st Congresses. We allude now to
Lawrence r. McGann, who, de-
spite the tremendous landslide Of 1894,
came within a narrow margin Of de-
feating his Republican competitor, the
Hon. Hugh Belknap.
Always a loyal Democrat, Mr.. Nc
Gam has never faltered in his duty,
no matter what party was concerned,
so long as the subject to be dealt with
meant the advancement of the city Of
which he is such q worthy son.
Every Chicagoan will remember with
gratitude the yeoman services rendered
to this city by Mr.. McGann In the
Worlds Fair fight and the many ques-
tons affecting the people and the city
of Chicago arising out Of that great en-
terprise.
The Eagle wishes Mr.. Belknap, Mr..
McGann's successor, no better success
than that he may walk worthily In
the footsteps Of the gentleman whom he
has supplanted. II he does his career
will be one of which he will have rea-
son to be proud.
Chicago eagle. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1889-19??, 1895-11-30

Senator Mcmillan, Of Michigan, says
he does not believe Senators and Rep.
resentatives from the States on the
Great Lakes will try to secure the alb.
rOgation of the agreement with Great
Britain limiting the naval force to be
maintained on the lakes. He thinks
that agreement Is of more use to this
country than to England, and that 1t
should be allowed to stand until the
United States can secure a canal outlet
to tide water. In that event 1t Will
stand q long time, for while an effort
will be made at the next session Of
Congress, and at subsequent ones, to
get an appropriation for the construc-
ton of a ship canal from Lake Erie to
the ocean, those efforts are not likely
to be successful. But the failure to
construct ship canal does not mean
that lake commerce and lake cities
must not be protected against the conse-
quences Of quite improbable war with
England. Two forts some distance
apart, on the St Lawrence, near o.
densburg, supplied with a sufficient
number Of guns, will stop the sending
of any English vessels up the stream
into the lakes. The American marine
will be big enough, II guns are in readi-
ness, to take care of all the Canadian
vessels already there.
