DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS.


Citizens of Kentucky Join in support of
Mckinley and Honest Money.
A large delegation from Kentucky,
composed of both Republicans and sound
money Democrats, was one of the most
demonstratiye in honoring the Repub-
lican candidate To them Mr. mckinley
said:
II address you not as Republicans nor
Democrats, but as countrymen and
friends Your glorious old state has al
ready registered verdict in favor of
one of the principal issues involved in
this campaign. ! do not believe that III
the past twelve months the Kentucky
people have changed their opinions on
the questions of honest money and public
honor. Great applause and cries of No,
no.) Kentucky has usually been Dem
ocratic state. and in 1876 gave that
sturdy Democratic statesman, Samuel
J. Tilden of New York, an unprecedcnt-
ed popular majority for President. His
memory is doubtless revered by many of
your Democrats today, and venture to
send by you this message to them III MIR.
Tilden's own words.
'In his celebrated joint debate with
Horace Greeley, in 1910, Mr. Tilden said:

THE GREATEST DAY OF THE cA1PAIGN

There is one thing that can be said
about the Republican party-it can cclc-
brate the anniversaries of all the great
American statesmen no matter to what
party they may have belonged, who
stood for the country and its honor,
We have no difficulty in celebrating, too,
with our Democratic friends the ami
versary of Jefferson. Jackson and Bti,-
ton. We celebrate those anniversaries
with the same satisfaction that we cele-
brate the anniversaries of the carly
statesmen who were more nearly Of our
political belief.

all this wealth is in a state of less than
10000 square miles, and among people
not yet 2,500,000 in number. we can be-
gin 10 realize how great is our country.
Can it be possible that such II magniii-
cent commonwealth will ever lend her
influence to free silver, free trade, dis
honor and partial or entire reputation?
cNo, no. nevcr) No, say. forever no.
What the people Of this country want,
whether they dwell in Michigan or Ten
nessec or Ohio, is Il policy that will pro-
tect and defend every American inter
est against the outside world, from any
quarter What we want is tariff put
upon foreign goods high enough to not
only give us revenue enough to run the
government, but to afford adequate pro-

occupation. This is the policy of the
Republican party.

Thus we have red and yellow roses, but
no blue; red and blue verbenas, but no
yellow; yellow and blue in the various
members of the violet family, but no
red. Other examples of this rigid law
could be cited, but the above are suffi-
cient. The botanist or foriculturist

never attempts to produce blue rose

To the Daily LIGHT:

To the Daily LIGHT:
The imperious necessity of ap-
plying some formal test to the
sewers to determine whether the
class of work and quality of ma
terial meet the standard demanded
by the specifications, cannot too
frequently or too earnestly be i'm
pressed upon the minds of those
entrusted with the grave response
bility of protecting the rights and
interests of the taxpayers. Charges,
plain and specified, have been for
mally presented, that the work is
inferior and the material defec-
tive. These charges should GER
tainly be investigated before
further progress Of the work and
they can only be properly investi-
gated by submitting the completed
sewers to the plain, practical test
to which all similar work is sub
jected before acceptance by the
United States government. The
simple fact that objection to the
proposition comes only from the
contractors and the city engineer,
makes it only the more impera-
tive that the test should be made
IL defects exist in the work it is far
better that they should be exposed
and corrected now than wait until
the contractors have completed the
job and left the state.

THE GAsTRODIAPHANE.

camera obscura into the stomach
through the medium of soft rubber
tube. By suddenly closing the current
an instantaneous photograph should
be created. But technical difficulties
have thus far prevented the realization
of this plan.
In 1892 T. Heryng and N. Reichmann
made public an apparatus consisting
Of lamp introduced by tube into the
stomach and cooled by filling the stom-
ach with water before it's introduction.
But this apparatus was also found to
possess defects and was rejected as I'M
feasible.
! The plan proposed by Voltolini for
the transillumination of the larynx,
says Golfers Weekly, led DR.. Max
Einhorn, of New York city, to the in
Gention of his gastrodiaphane, which
seems to have fully solved the problem
of illuminating the stomach SO pro-
foundry that any diseased condition ap-
pears through the abdominal walls and
is patent to the eye of the trained OBJ
server.
! This gastrodiaphane is nothing more
nor less than small electric lamp hay-
ing O candle power of from eight to
twelve volts and composed of a metal
ic or carbon electrode inclosed in q
small perforated capsule of hard rub
Der. Attached to this is a soft rubber
tube containing the conducting wires,
which are incased in silk.
The electricity is derived from a
simple storage battery, the circuit OF
which has been broken by O. wire sheo-
stat of a known resistance.
The method of employing this in.
strument Is as follows: The patient,
standing or sitting in O darkened room
is requested to drink one or two glasses
Of cold water. The electric capsule
which is not as large as a small-sizeC
olive, is fabricated with glycerol ant
can then be swallowed without any diff
fculty. When the current is turned OF
it is diffused throughout the water con
tanned in the stomach and the outline
of that organ may then be trace
through the anterior abdominal wal
as a translucent reddish zone.
BY this procedure, pathological state
of the stomach, such as tumors or thick
cning of its front wall, excessive dill
tation or a downward displacement
may be recognized as darkened, en-
larged or displaced areas, respectively
and an appropriate course of treatmen
instituted.
I'rof. Howard A. Kelly, of Baltimore
has adopted similar aid in exploring
the abdominal cavity after an incisio
is made through its walls. He employ

16-candle power lamp attached to
