The New York Herald, comenting ed
itorialfy upon the clumsy, loose jointed,
perpleXed and unintelligble phraseology
of the Cuban resolutions" says: Each
resolution consists of a single sentence,
and not one of them will parse. They
ought to be set to school boys as examples
of slovenly construction. Mr.. Hit told
the house that they had been drawn with
such care as to relieve the house from any
other duty than that of voting for them.
who drew them?" The Herald justly
adds that "the lingo mind is in such
state of confusion and passion as to care
little for forms of expression If it can
not have war with Spain, it will have war
between substantives and verbs, collis-
ions between clauses and resolutions
which go limping on one leg"

their regular meeting yesterday after
noon in the council chamber in the city

at the desk.
Commissioner Garrett, who had been
appointed a committee, of one to draft
an oath for special police officers, report
ed that he would return same at an early
date.
1t was moved, seconded and carried
that the clerk of the board notify the Dis

reader, to put the "Klarke Kolumn" along
side of Senator Harris and size them up
Suppose Kolb was running about over
Ala ALBANIA pleading for the nomination OF
Johnston. Why if such was the case
the howl Of the Advertiser and the
Klarke Kolumn" would paralyze the
ear drums of the populace.
Johnston is gaining strength in every
part of the state. The tide which set in
several months ago for Johnston con-
tinues to rise. 1t is absolutely out of the
question for Clarke and the Advertiser
to stem it.
The favorable report by Senator Chan
dler of Mr.. Aliens resolution to investi-
gate the election of Senator Morgan of
Alabama is believed to be a scheme for
securing one populist vote for seating
Dupont.
The esteemed Montgomery Advertiser
is not willing to admit that an able sill
yer speech can come from republican
like Mr.. Towne of Minnesota, and yet all
of it's arguments come from Senator Sher-
man.
Who says politics does not make
strange bed-fellows? Just think of the
men here in these parts so tied to the
single gold standard that they can't sup
port home man, hobnobbing with Kolb.
The idea of anybody swindling Dick
Clarke and he on the ground, with the

man of the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road to assist him. Now amt that rich?
Johnston can poll 10000 more votes in
the August election than Dick Clarke
could poll, and every we'll informed man
In Alabama who takes any interest in
politics knows it.
Now that does settle it! We are in
formed by bright light that the popu-
lite leaders prefer the nomination of
Clarke over Johnston, and therefore 1t
should so be.
The democratic party is not going to
consult the popuIlte leaders this year, or
those Clarke leaders now hobnobbing
with them, about who it dominates for
governor.
days to see the Clarke contingent-that
is, the leaders of that contingent herea-
bouts-rubbing up close to and juggling
with Kolb.
The populite leaders have been against
Johnston all the time, and 1t Is but nat
ural that they should be, because he Is
the man who will draw votes from their
ranks.
Out of the nineteen beats in Morgan
county Johnston carried sixteen and
Clarke three. 1t came very nearly being
at the ratio of 16 to l..

cHRIsTMAs DAY.

OF all the days of the year Christ
mas takes precedence by long odds
as holiday over all others. Among
Christian people, the world over. it
is a day of rejoicing, of rest from
worldly occupation, of family re-
urions, of interchange of tokens of
affection, of the laying aside of jeal-
ousies and strife, of peace on earth
and good will to all mankind. Long
before the Christian era it was kept
by the civilized people of those days
in honor of the return of the sun
from his southern journey; but its
celebration did not have the same
meaning as is conveyed now. Then
1T was day of rejoicing that the
light of the world was moi to vanish
not to keep on it's journey to the
south never to come back.
Now it calls to our minds remem-
brance of Him who showed US the
way to life everlasting; who taught
us the golden rule, and by His ex-
ample, the glory of unselfish and un-
dying love; who taught US that it is
more blessed 10 give than to receive;
whose followers were the poor and
the needy, and whose disciples were
of them.
OF all days Christmas is the most
blessed, for then even Dives opens
his purse for Lazarus Around the
fireside gather three generations to
rejoice for manifold blessings re-
ceIved, and to renew the ties of
affection binding them together in
one household.
Blessed day! wherein it is per-
mitted the worldly to forget the race
for the things of the world and to ex-
ercise in giving to the poor the
charity that is the one divine attrib-
ute vouchsafed to man.

MEDICAL HERoISM.

The great American people are
prone at times to poke little fun at
the medical fraternity, and especi-
ally to joke them about the spirit of
fraternity and harmony exhibited in
their intercourse with each other;
but there is no doubt but that as a
class they are exceptionally brave
men. 1t requires, more than any
other calling, heroic qualities, and
these are shown every dsy in the
matter of-fact way in which medical
men expose themselves to all kinds
of contagious diseases in the course
of their usual business. It takes
more genuine bravery to tackle a
cholera or yellow fever epidemic
than itdoes to charge battery, and
the results are about as deadly.
In the line of experiment, too,
the medical fraternity is second to
no other, and that the science ad.
vances more slowly than some others
IS not due to less study or research,
but to the fact that results are harder
to be obtained, experiments being
handicapped by the fact that not
only have their remedies got to act
upon living tissues, but the diagnosis
must be made from symptoms. In
other words, iii most professions or
trades certain thing is to be ac-
complished and the material to be,
worked upon IS tangible and evident.
In medicine it is not. Yet in spite
of these drawbacks the science has
made giant strides in the past ten
years, and is progressing now by
leaps and bounds.
Consumption, that heretofore re-
sistless disease, IS already becoming
comfortable; diphtheria, cholera and
kindred diseases have yielded up the
secret of their causes to the patient
researches of the medical scholars,
and even the dread leprosy, it is
thought, will soon be under control.
At Los Angeles Tuesday, DR.. Thomas
Powell of Missouri made some re-
markable experiments before party
of doctors in order to prove the eff

Senator Mitchell has introduced a
bill providing that persons may
make final proof on timber and
stone lands before any officer quail
fed to take homestead proofs. AS
the laws is at present, this class OF
lands must be proved up on before
the register and receiver of the land
office, and it often works hardships
and causes unnecessary expense by
compelling parties to go long dis

cacy of his remedy for certain dis

sicians present by injecting bacillus
tuberculosis and baccilli diphtherial
into himself, appearing to take them
without evil effect. He also injected
some bactina into two guinea pigs,
which promptly died. Yesterday he
injected sputum from woman dy-
ing of consumption into himself.
Can we wonder that doctors disa-
gree and that each is SO firmly fixed
in his opinions, when one of them
will take the method used by DR..
Powell to show his faith in his belief !?

Hoping OF Streets.

Health Officer Woodward is on the right
track when he urges the passage of a law
or the adoption of regulations restricting
the privilege of ropins off streets in cases
of sickness. AS ne points cut in his annual
report, this favor has been abused until it
has become nuisance, growing from
season TO season. and now requiring a
check. In but few cases of Illness in such
city as Washington. where the streets
are smoothly paved and traffic is light, is
il really Necessary to exclude vehicles from
the adjoining streets for the comfort of the
patients Doubtless the custom has grown
largely because of the spirit of neighbor-
hood rivalry. and physicians are apparently
powerless to check the nuisance themselves
by refusing to grant the necessary certifi-
Gates or requests because IL would seem
that they are possessed of fear of losing
prestige If they should deny the pctition of
their patients or the families Under the
present regulations the Health Officer must
honor these certificates. although he may
know that the circumstances do not re-
quire the exclusion of traffic. He, there
fore. points to the recomrne nda lions of the
Medical Association adopted four years ago
against the practice. and urging the adop-
ton of means used in other cities to secure
quiet without cutting OFF travel. The use
OF tan bark Is suggested as comparatively
inexpensive and efficacious. Dr. Woodward
has found that New York. Brooklyn. Buff
faio. st. Louis and New Orleans prohibit
the use of rope in such cases, and i'm all,
these cities the traffic is heavier and the
street noise is more inconveniencing to sick
people than in Washington. Under these
favorable circumstances a law abolishipe
me custom or giving the Health Officer a
";der discrimination in the matter would
De III no sense hardship. but would confer
dement, upon thousands of citizens who
are now frequently and seriously incon-
'e1ienced by these blockades
