No Need For Doctors.

Many political doctors are volun-
teering to prescribe for the demo-
cratic PARTY. Some Of them even
have the assurance to recommend
the gold cure, says the New York
Journal.
The capital defect of all the pro.
posed courses of treatment is that
the patient needs no medicine.
There is nothing the matter with
the democratic party. 1t never was
healthiar in defeat than now. And
its prospects are as good as could
be desired, The stand it has taken
on the one great question which
must be fought out in American
politics is sure TO draw to it's aid
ultimately the intelligent patriot
ism of the country. That ques-
tion is?
Shall the republic be ruled by
its men or its money!
Whatever may be the surface ap-
pearance Of the issues raised from
year to year, that is the fundamen-
tai question which divides the par
ties, and will continue to divide
them. Atpresent the conservative
instinct of the more comfortable
classes ihclines amajority of them
toward the republicans, but as

An Olive Leafs Mission.

An Olive Leafs Mission.
While Bismarck was Prussian en-,
voy at Paris he made short Pyren-
can tour, and at Avignon made the
acquaintance Of a young couple
named Luning, who were spending
their honeymoon in that romantic
spot. One day the three set out
together for drive, but they had
scarcely seated themselves in the
carriage when telegram was hand
ed Bismarck. Itwas a message from
King William summoning him to
return to Berlin and assume the
post Of Minister President. The
Prussian Chamber had rejected the
estimates for a reformed army,
which was the first condition of
other reforms, and the King was in
despair,
Bismarck made no secret of the
coutents Of the telegram and frank
ly expressed hope that he might
succeed in reconeiling the govern
ment and the Chamber. But he
would not interrupt tn driver, and
they went on along the bank of the
Rhone, until, reaching the vine
yards and olive groves, they got
out Of the carriage for little stroll
Suddenly Nine. Luning stopped,
and breaking double twig from a
young olive tree, offered it to Bis.
marck.
"May this help you to make it up
with your opponents" she said.
II will accept half Of it," he
answered, gallantly, returning her
a part of the twig. May he other
half, with this rose, bring YOU,
dear madam, constant peace III your
happy MARRIAGE
-Four days later be was in Berlin,
and there he found the King, with
his abdication signed and ready.
He refused in those circumstances
to take Office, and when the King
asked him if he were prepared to
govern against a majority Of the
Chamber, he answered eyes with
out the slightest hesitation. The
abdication was torn up. and Bis
marck accepted office. It was dur
ing this struggle that the King said:
81 can see far enough from the
palace window to behold your head
fall on the scatfold, and after yours,
mine"
"Well," said Bismarck, "for my
self | annotimagine nobler death
than that or on the battlefield.
Surely, your majesty, as captain of
a company, cannot think Of desert
ing it under fire."
Never was the reply, and the
King sprang up ready for action.
But the olive leaf had not yet
fulfilled its dramatic mission. AT.
his first speech before the budget
committee Bismarck urged military
reflrm, but only to be met by the
objection that it would be much
better for the government to depend
upon moral conduests by the aid
Of a liberal policy. He took out
his pockettook- and produced from
it little withered twig.

me from Avign on," said he, Gin or

This assurance was met with a
smile, and be reused himself to

he, 'does not look to liberalism,
but to the power Of Prussia, and

TIE IMipossihle Hanna.

If the epidermis of Mark Hanna
is so thick as to render him insensi-
BILE to the utter impropriety of the
suggestion Of his name in connec-
ton with the secretaryship of the
treasury, Mr.. Mckinley ought to
be keenly conscious of it.
Waving the question Of ineligi-
bility under the statute Of 1889
adopted by the fathers. of the con.
stitution with almost prophetic fore
sight gifts necessity for the protec
lion of the people, the moral ineligi-
bility is beyond doubt. This man
Hanna, as chairman of the repubIi
can national committee and boodle-
raiser-in-chief for his party, should
be thought of only as impossible in
connection with the treasury. He
represents in his own person, more
completely than any othe man now
prominent in politics, the idea Of
triumphant plutocracy. His only,
conception of conducting political
campaign is to raise the most
money. He believes as thoroughly
in the efficacy of tie biggest barrel
as Napoleon did the virtue Of the
biggest guns. And worse than
this, his only conception ofgovern-
ment, after power has been secured
is partition of benefits among the
victors, He would divide the Of
fees as spoiIs amongt he politicians
and legislate for the benefit OF
the campaign contributors.
This is about Mark Hanna's idea
ofpolitics and government. Ifit IS
to prevail, God save the common
wealth!
To put such a man at the head Of
the treasury department would be
a public shame and scandal. Could
be recommend revenue laws with
out reference to the claims for tariff
bounties of the rich manufacturers
to whom he has placed himself and
his candidate under obligationsf
Could he conduct bond issue in
dependent of the influence of j,
Pierpont Morganand the othor Wall
street magnates to whom. with Oh.
tuse indiscretion, he FASTENED fol-
advice and contributions on his first
official visit to New York?
IF Mr.. Hanna were the most high
minded and unselfsh of patrols, bis
appointment as secretary Of the
treasury, in view of his part in the
campaign and Of his business con
nections and career, would Be d
monumental Wrong. Being what
he is, his appointment would be "a.
fiagrant an insult to the intelligence
and virtue Of the country lis to ius

THE PLANET MARS.
Both Chemically and Physically IL Is Very
Like the Earth.

Year after year when politics cease
from troubling there recurs the question
as TO the existence of intelligent SEN
ticnt life on the planet Mars The last
ourcrop of speculation grew from the
discovery by NJ. Javelle OF luminous
projection on the southern edge of the
planet. The light was peculiar III sew
cral respects, and among other interpre-
tations il was suggested that the inhab-
itants of Mars were flashing messages
TO the conjectured inhabitants OF the
sister planet Earth. No attempt at re-
ply was made. Indeed supposing our as
tronomer royal, with our best telescope,
transported to Mars, red riot OF fire
running athwart the whole of London
would scarce be visible 70 him. The
question remains unanswered. probably
unanswerable.
There is no doubt that Mars is very
like the earth. Its days and nights, ITS
summers and winters differ only IN
their relative lengths from ours. 1t has
land and oceans continents and ISLANDS,
mountain ranges and inland seas. Its
polar regions are covered with snow,
and il has an atmosphere and clouds,
warm sunshine and gentle rains lhe
spectroscope, that subtle analyst of the
most distant stars, gives us reason to
believe that the chemical elements IA
miliar to us here exist ON Mars. The
planet. chemically and physically, is so
like the earth that, rs protoplasm, the
only living material we know, came
into existence on the earth, there Is no
great difficulty i'll supposing that 1t
came into existence ON Mars. If reason
be able to guide us, we know that pro-
toplasm, at first amorphous and unin-
tegrated, has been guided on this earth
by natural forces into that marvellous
series of forms and intcgrations we call
the animal and vegetable Kingdoms
WHY, under the similar guiding forces
OH Mars, should not protoplasm be the
root of as fair branching tree of living
beings and bear as fair fruit of intel
| ligent. scntient creatures? - London

The Two ozark Days"

There are two dark days" men
toned in the annals of New England.
The first occurred on Oct. 2l, lil6,
when it suddenly became so dark soor
after noon that the people were forcco
to use artificial lights TO do their ordi
nary work. This strange condition OF tht
atmosphere lasted about 31s hours.
Again, on May 10. 1880, there was
remarkable darkening of the atmos'
phere but the phenomenon did not
come ON so suddenly rs that upon the
earlier date. The darkness in this latter
instance began between 10 and III O'Clock
OH the morning of the day named and
lasted throughout the day. The dark
ness extended from the northeastern
part Of New England westward as far
as Albany and southwark To Pcnnsyl-
yania. The most intense and prolonged
darkness, however, was confined to
Massachusetts, more especially to the
seaboard. Ii is said to have come from
the southwest. but there is no mention
of il made in the history of Ohio or the
| Virginias. The exact cause still remains
one az the unexplained mysteries. st

WORKING 1T BACKWARD.
Remarkable Things shown by the Kinet
o-cope When Reversed.

"Impossibilities Made Possible by
Means Of the Modern Inventions In the
Electrical Field" furnished the theme of
a lecture given recently by Professor q.
Queroult in the Paris Academy of Sci
ences. During some Of his experiments
he hit upon the idea To turn around
Photographic records and also the series
Of pictures seen through the kaleidoscope,
respectively the kinematograph. Having
photographed plant at regular inter
walls and shown in the kaleidoscope the
growth, the development Of the stem.
leaves, buds, flowers and fruit, the
same consequence of Photographic pic
lures reversed was presented to the eye
Of the astonished academicians, who
wondered at the fruit turning into flow
ers, flowers into buds, buds drawing
back into themselves and disappearing,
the leaves closing, getting smaller and
disappearing, the stem getting shorter
and shorter, until the earth closes over 1t.
The most incredible things are devel-
oped before the eyes of the spectator II
a most ordinary series of such pictures
is reversed. A drinker takes up All empty
glass and replaces it full upon the table (;
a smoker sees the stump of a cigar fly
ing at him from the floor, takes it 70
his mouth and sees the smoke originate
in the room, draws it into his mouth
and into his cigar, which is gradually
heightened and finally replaced in the
pocket A wrestler, who has probably
thrown away his garments, is recovered
with them by their, so to speak, walk
ing up on him into their places, while
he himself performs motions OF which
we can understand nothing because we
never saw these most ordinary motions
performed backward; a man, for in
stance, seated at table before an empty
plate, works hard taking bite after bite
from his mouth, until the chicken is
whole again on the dish before him, and
the side dishes are also returned full TO
their respective places. In order TO fully
enjoy an-exhibition of the kinetoscope,
such AN exhibition should be completed
by arranging alongside of each other the
same scenes in regular order in one ma.
chine and reversed i'll another. Ii would
be advisable, however, TO inform the
spectators previous to their looking at
such reversed series of pictures, for
otherwise they might think themselves
the victim Of dream, "a hallucination,
or something worse. st. Louis Globe
