Judging from Mr. Bryan's Denver
speeches he has determined upon
preaching the folly about classes and
class antagonisms in this country, and
to continue the task of stirring up
strife between the American people.
1t is regrettable that any citizen should
consider that he is promoting progress
and prosperity by such a course in
stead of laboring to apply correctives
to such evils as may exist and to en-
couragfng unity and cooperation. We
have faith, however, in what we con-
slider to be an eternal truth, namely,
that no man ever yet became great or led
a people out of difficulties by preaching
any such doctrine, and that conserva-
tive Americans have not made, and
never will make such man a national
leader. If Mr.. Bryan really believes,
and we are not questioning his SINGER
ity, that the course his initial post
election speeches indicate, is one that
will place him at the head of this ma
ton, or work out real reform, he is
greatly mistaken. The mere complainer
never was a leader.

HIS ARM SHORTENED.
Remarkable Operation Performed In
ST. Louis.

Remarkable Operation Performed In
st. Louis.
DR.. Suffer performed a difficult SIR.
gical operation at the city hospital yes
terday. Jas. Hayes, barber, was in his
shop on Park avenue when the build
ing was destroyed by the tornado of
May 9th, and besides other injuries
had his right arm broken between the
| shoulder and the elbow. His arm was
set by a surgeon, but for some reason
the bone did not grow together. and he
has suffered great pain and been unable
to use his arm since. A few days ago
he applied to DR.. Suffer and explained
the nature of his injuries. He was
told the only way to relieve him would
be to join the bone together by arti-
ficial means, so yesterday was decided
upon for the operation. He was placed
on the operating table and chlorofoHn
administered to him. DR.. Suffer then
made long incision in the flesh, and
bending the arm at the broken place.
caused both ends of the broken bone
to protrude clear of the flesh to enable
him to operate on them without inter-
ference. He then sawed off the rough
end Of each fractured part, and a
smooth, even surface was thus secured.
He then sawed each end of the bone
half way through, about an inch from
the end, one being sawed on the top
and the other on the under side. and
then cut each end lengthwise to meet
the cut previously made, thus taking
out a piece of the bone an inch long
and half its thickness. Both ends were
then placed together and the broken
bone was mortised evenly and smooth
ly. To hold the ends firmly together a
hole was drilled through the bones at
the point where they were mortised
and an ivory peg driven into the hole,
binding the ends securely together. The
incision was then sewed up and the in
jured arm placed in splints. Mr..
Hayes was then revived and later in
the day went to his home. DR.. Suffer
says the arm will be about an inch
shorter than it originally was, but 9TH
erwise it will give Hayes no incon-
venience after it knits firmly together,
which will take about four weeks. The
muscles, DR.. Suffer says, will accom-
modate themselves to the shortened
length of the arm.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

would, but two days later, before ar.
rangements could be completed, he had
entered into rest" by his own hand.
would it not" said DR.. Wendte
have been an act of humanity to have
saved him the torture that led to sui
cide?"
"And in case law could be passed
permitting the death remedy" asked
DR.. Wendtes interlocutor, ito whom
would you intrust the responsibility OF
determining the issue?"
"The most feasible plan to my mind
replied the doctor, "would be to have
a commission of eight persons of high
character and unassailable position ap-
pointed by the governor of the state.
Four members of the commission
should be physicians of the highest
standing in the profession. The dis
trict attorney and the chairman of the
board Of health should also be men,
bers, and two philosophical citizens of
pronounced humane tendencies.
ITO this commission the sufferer
should appeal and his petition must be
Endorsed and approved by his family
Then the case should be thoroughly
investigated by the commission. 1t
must be proven to the satisfaction of
the physicians that every known rem
edy had been tried; that the disease Is
absolutely incurable. 1t should also be
demonstrated that the petitioner suffers
intolerable pain. The relatives must
be able to prove conclusively that they
have none but humane motives in de-
string the decease of the invalid. All
these points having been established,
the commission should be empowered to
gently and humanely put an end to the
misery of the sufferer"
