expected from Tillman, but, despite

His speech was plainly made to vent
his spleen against the President. He

Nrw YORK, March 23.-The Journal

with the naked eye. He looked into
the heart and lungs, and examined the

of one of his assistants.
Mr.. Edison has, perhaps, reached

tionizes and intellectually widens the
horizon of the medical world.
The great inventor has fulfilled the
promise made to the world through

has laid bare to the eye of the physl
clan and the surgeon every organ anc
tissue and bone of the human body.

A Freak of Nature.

TFrom the European Edition of the HERALD
An extraordinary result OF an
operation, said to be unique in unedi-
cal history, is stated by the Vienna
correspondent of the Standard to have
been reported from the Czech Uni
yersity, in Prague.
PROFESSOR Maydl recently opened the
abdominal cavity of young man.
aged nineteen, q scholar at the Tech
meal College in Brunn, who had sui
fered since his childhood from growth
extending from the backbone down
ward The Professor found between
the spine and intestines the undevelop-
ed form of child, without head. but
with discernible extremities, covered
with fat and grown over with hair.
According to the suggestion OF the
Professor, the growth is twin child
which fer some reason or other grew
| into the lower part of the body of the
, child that was actually born. The
theory, of course, requires cOnfirma-
/ ton. The lad operated upon is now
quite well and out of danger.

A Sian at Jingolsm.

A salutary sign of sober popular SEN
timent is the absence of lingo bun
combe in the Ohio republican platform
of last week.
There is not word of encouragement
for the Cuban jingoism that is now run
ming so high in Washington, nor any
approval Of the Venezuelan and Ar
menian jingoism which has subsidized.
Indeed, if words mean anything, the
whole lingo craze is indirectly condemn
ed by the declaration that the republi-
can party Stands for such a policy
with all foreign nations as will insure
both to us. and to them justice, good
faith, dignity and honor" This is all
the more significant since it is an ex-
preston of the sentiment in the State
of Senator Sherman, who is one of the
leaders of the Cuban crusade on the
floor Of the Senate, and has declared
that public sentiment is behind the
belligerency independence in terve en-
tion resolutions.
True, it would be more satisfactory
and encouraging if the Convention had
boldly declared that the Washington
[jingolsm was discredit to Congress, q
detriment to the business interests oil
the country and a mischievous menace
to our peaceful foreign relations But
that is perhaps too much to expect
i from party convention in q Presiden
tial yearly. Y. Herald
