AltgeId's SeIi.Exposure.
(Pittsburg Dispatch.)

The exposure which Altgeld makes
of himself. by his attempted reply to-
William 4. Morrison's repetition of
the charges previously made. is even
more destructive than Bryan's exhibit
ton of his ACCOMMODATIONS and
sophistry One would suppose that
public official of integrity charged with
diversion Of public funds would at once
challenge his accusers to the proof 1t
is to be remembered that when Forman
brought out these specific assertions
against Altgelds integrity. he replied
only by the assertion that FOrman was
beneath his notice" Now. when Nor
rison repeats the charges, mark the
sort of reply that is made:
Morrison charges that Altgeld bor-
rowed state moneys himself, and ap-
proved of the loaning of state funds
for the benefit of his political followers
in violation of the state constitution
and his political oath.
Altgeld retorts that Morrison has
been of immense benefit to his party by
keeping out of politics of late.
Morrison charges that Altgeld in
duced the state treasurer to place large
sums of money to the credit of treasur-
ers of state institutions for his use.
Altgeld replies that Morrison want
ed, but did not get, his aid in capturing
the presidential nomination at Chicago.
Morrison charges that Altgeld had
state funds deposited in favored banks
where he could use them for his private
and political advantage.
Altgeld replies that Morrison be-
longs to the class of facilitating poll
ticians" who have been a burden to the
party.
Morrison asserts that when the state
treasurer died defaulter, Altgeld
opened the treasury vaults. in violation
of law, took papers therefrom and
made substitutions to conceal the fact
that he had been borrower of state
moneys.
Altgeld answers that Morrison is
one of the might riders" who have
been thrown out, have landed hard

George W. Martin. N. D.

The large gathering of citizens at the
funeral of the late DIR. G. w. Martin

sincere tribute of respect to the memory
of one who, for many years, has borne
conspicuous and honorable part in

in the full strength of powers made
specially valuable to his fellow men by

His loss comes home with the force OF
a personal bereavement to hundreds of
homes. where his very presence brought
cheer and hope. The practice of medi-

the thousands Of people. who had en-
loved the benefits of his skill. but also
lby the members OF his own profession
by whom he was frequently called IN
consultation. No higher mark OF con-
adence and respect can be paid any
man In the practice Of medicine.
Dr Martin was an untiring worker.
and a close and lifelong student. He
was a progressive man who spared no
effort or expense to keep himself in
close touch with the best and most adj
vanced thought of the times. HIS
practice was very large one. and,
doubtless. it's severe and exacting
labors FASTENED his death. He was
man of quick sympathies, but how
ever anxious he might have been over
a patients condition. he never failed to
bring the stimulus of hope and cheer to
the sick room, and, herein was, doubt
less, an important element in his dis
tinguished success as a practitioner.
Charity, in more senses than one, is
a requisite of the physician imbued
with the higher spirit of his calling.and
no member of the profession. who has
moved in and out among us on his
errands of mercy, has had this virtue
in a more marked degree than DIR.
Martin. How much he did. in the years
of his practice, to help the poor and
needy, how many. many times it fell to
him to hold out friendly hand to help
we many never know. These things
are among the professional secrets that
the true physician locks in his own
breast. and they die with him. Some
of these labors of love we may learn of
through the grateful testimony of the
beneficiaries. but most Of them are
never known to the world at large.
1t is always distinct loss to COM
munity when a man eminent in its
medical fraternity, whose skill is forti-
fled by years of ripe experience, passes
away The work Of such a man lives
after him. 1t is treasured among the
most cherished memories of the com
munity in which he lived and labored.
1t is his most enduring monument.

genous matter for the air to decompose.
But whatever manure is applied, cultl-
walton greatly increases its effectiveness.
Every time the culGivator stirs the
surface soil it introduces more air into
1t and hastens the decomposition of the
manure. There is, therefore, sound
reason for the com mon practice of apply
ing mauures literally to the crops that
require the greatest amount of cultiva-
ton. There is another way also in which
the manure helps, and that is by increas-
ing weeds so as to make frequent Guilt
walton necessary. If the soil could be
entirely freed of weed seeds the crops
would not get cultivation enough to
secure their best growth.
1t is thus that the beneficence of ma
ture is INDICATED in a matter where, on
superficial thought, the farmer is most
apt to think that this feature of natures
operation is against him. The rain
which makes the CROPS grow, makes
weeds grow also. If the farmer has
been forehanded and killed all the weeds
as fast as they terminate, the more
weed seeds in his SOIL the better the
crop will be.-Southern Cultivator.

Cultivation is to considerable extent
the equivalent of manure. 1t introduces
air into the soil and thus makes what
fertility it has available. 1t was the
maxim of Jethro Tull, who wrote many
years ago that "tillage is manure" But
on poor soil, especially that of sandy
character, tillage can do but little good,
for in such soils there is little nitro
