There is no name in this section of the
country, connected with the medical world,
that is better known to the public than that
of Mr.. Monroe Peterson. He is situated in
nice, comfortable home, with good farm,
about four miles west of johnson City, ILL.,,
He is now fifty-eight years old, in healthy
condition, and weighs one hundred and ninety
pounds. Not more upright and honorable
citizen does our nation afford, and he is
healthy condition after so long q period OF
misery and suffering.
The cause of Mr.. Peterson's long suffering
was hurt which he received in a fall, while
running drill in 1861, being soldier at
the time. He has been crippled in his right
leg ever since that date. Sciatic rheumatism
then set in, and his leg began to slowly
now it is about two inches shorter than the
other. 1t began to grow worse and, finally,
his whole body began to shake like person
with the ST Vitus' dance. His first severe
attack was about six years ago.
There is no disease in the power of human
endurance more awful in its pains and
Affections than sciatic rheumatism. Some
times its pain may be slow, steady one,
while at other times, it comes with Jerks
and wrenches that seem TO twist the body
out of all shape of recognition. 1t seems to
contract the muscles, drawing the body al
most in knot. While this is probably the
worst stage of sciatic rheumatism, it is some
times found in milder forms. So it was
with Mr.. Peterson, but with it was associ-
ated feeling and condition almost as I'M
comfortable and unbearable. The body was
in continual shake, rendering it impossible
for him to do anything. He had lost all
control of his muscles. On application to a
physician for relief, he was told that the
afliiction might last him all his life, or, on
the other hand it might leave him entirely
at an unexpected moment: @
For over three years he~was not able TO
write word so severe was his shaking. He
could not even sign his vouchers, thereby
having to make his mark and witness it. At
this time he could not walk q step without
aid nor even sit down in chair without
assistance. So severe was the shaking of
his head that il almost caused him to 20
blind. He could not distinguish o person O.
rods distance in front of him. Tie came
very nearly losing his mind and his friends
thought, as last resort, that he would have
to be taken to q hospital. When he was
taken to town for examination by q physi-
clan, he had to be examined in the buggy,
so difficult was it for him to get out. Often
times it would seem that life was nearly ex-
tinct, and his feet and hands would have to
be bathed in warm water and rubbed in
order to restore the circulation. For two
years he was not able to feed himself at the
table. His ever faithful and dutiful wife put
the food to his mouth. Alright he would take
smothering spells and would have TO be
lifted up in bed that he might regain his
breath and strength. At this critical period
he was not able to put on his clothes, not
able to do anything but sit and suffer his
miserable life away. -

The Present Defects.

Lyman j. Gage sums up his opinion as to
the defects of the present currency, as fol-
lows:
II. Confusing heterogeneity which needs
simpli6cation.
'2. The greenback controyerts the prin-
ciple of paper money, viz: That every note
injected In the commercial system should
represent an existing commercial value.
''S. The treasury note is a standing evil
dence of foolish operation; the creation of
a debt for the purchase on fallen market
of a commodity for which the purchaser has
no use, II lies open to the just charge of be-
ing both idiotic and immoral.
~. The national bank note nearly conforms
to the true principle OF paper money, but
the unreasonable requirements for security
paralyze Its deficiency and operate to'de-
stroy its elasticity.
rs. The silver certificate encourages the
nse Of silver to larger extent than is con-
sistent with the safe preservation of that
metal on parity with gold"

Hear the Statesman from Huron.

Representative Madill, of Huron, has In J..
troduced bill in the legislature providing
that the clerk of the supreme court shall be
paid salary, and that all fees of the Office
shall be turned into the state treasury.
And the Huron statesman is right 1t is
alleged the clerk of the supreme court re-
ceives fees and perquisites amounting from
SIC, 900 to SEC, 900 per year. This Is pref
ty big sum of money to pay clerk who
simply puts in time and no capital. 1t Is a
fact that there Is an army of competent men
In this state, who would thank the Lord II
they could be appointed to the position at a
salary Of $4,000 year.
We say this with due appreciation of the
stupendOus learning and natural ability It
takes to make court clerk, lawyer, Judge,
or even janitor about q court room, and
with deep and reverent awe of the divinity
that doth hedge them in.
When court clerk receives more COM
pensation than governor, supreme judge,
lieutenant governor and cuspadere cleaner
combined, it is evident all men are not
"equal."

81 such agreements. Under the law the
patient is county charge for the first
two years of his stay in the asylum.
Then he becomes "A charge against the
state Now when the state, after two
years, assumes the cost of his mainte-
nance, the agreement referred to ter
inmates and the state Is compelled to
bear the entire expense. No one looks
after the states interest in this matter
and the laws are such that partial sup
port by the patient or his relatives can
not be enforced. This injustice should
bs corrected and the state should be in
cluded in the agreement. There are
so many who could pay a part of such

den. l would have the extent of their

bate court"
1t is not improbable that his sugges-
ton will be acted upon as the legislators

sening this constantly increasing bur-
den should be devised.
Tax on Mine Products.
Representative MaQlll has not yet
completed the details of his bill to levy
a specific tax on the refined products
of Michigan mines of all kinds, from
coal to copper. 1t is known, however,
that he proposes to make the tax on
copper 2la cents per pound In speak
ing of this the Marquette Mining Jour-
nal editorially says: Among the stup-
id propositions that the legislature will
have to consider this winter is one pro-
viding for the imposition of an export
tax of 21s cents a pound on copper. 1t
is estimated that this would yield a rev.
enue of 100000 annually, but it
wouldn't. What it would do would be
to force a number of the copper mines
in this district to suspend operations,
thus cutting down the estimated rev.
enue from the tax and at the same time
throwing hundreds Of miners out Of en-
ployment. The laws under which min
ing properties in this state are taxed
are all right now. and if the legislature
is wise it will not interfere with them"
1t would seem that from the vast
number Of revenue bills that have thus
far been introduced some measure that
would be equally beneficial and equit-
able could be devised. The only fear
is that the shots would be so widely
scattered that nothing will be accom-
pliShed

Considine Pardon Case.

When Governor Rich turned the eX-
ecutive office over to his successor last
month he mentioned the fact that he
had been requested to act in two par
don cases. but had decided to leave
them to the new governor to utilize in
getting his hand in. One Of these was
the recommendation of the pardon
board that the four Molitor murderers
be pardoned, and the other was a petit
ton signed by a number of prominent
citizens of Detroit asking for the pa
role of the notorious Billy Considine
of Detroit, who is serving five years
in Jackson for receiving stolen property.
Governor Pingree was not long in act
ing in the Molitor matter, the four con-
victs having been released a fortnight
ago. Young Considine remained in
prison somewhat longer, however, and
it has leaked out that Governor Rich
was very foxy and smiled grimly
when he turned this case over to his
successor. In the conversation referred
to the retiring executive shylyremarlked
to Governor Pingree: II guess you know
more about that case than / do so I

distinguished citizens of Michigan, and
the first name of the list was III. S.

Office of Public Defender.

Office of Public Defender.
Mrs. Clara Foltz, a New York lawyer
has sent here for introduction the draft
of a bill to create the office of public
defender. 1t provides that such an OFF,
Ger shall be elected in every county
in the state at the general election next
year, and that he shall hold his office
for two years 1t shall be the duty of
such an officer to appear for and de-
fend all persons charged with crime
who are without counsel and who desire
an attorney to appear for them and
also to appear in behalf of all persons
charged with being insane or lunatic.
The public defender is empowered,
when so authorized by the board of SUI
pervisors, to appoint assistants and en-
ploy counsel. His salary Is to he fixed
by the supervisors. The bill especially
provides that no person shall be pre-
vented from employing special counsel
to defend him alone. or assist the pub
lie defender.
The creation of the Office would, it is
urged, prevent the innocent from being
railroaded to prison. and also prevent
the inscriptions lawyers, who frequent
all our courts. from getting hold Of
prisoners and fleeing them without
giving them proper returns, as well as
prevent many innocent persons from
pleading guilty simply because they be-
lieve that, in their friendless condition,
conviction is certain, and i'm order to es-
cape as easily as possible from the
charge they have not the means to dis
prove. II is Furthermore commended
without detracting from the able men
who sometimes do offer to defend a
poor prisoner that the rule is that the
court appointees are wholly unable to
cope with the public prosecutor.
Able Men Seldom Appointed.
Those whose ability commands a law
practice are seldom assigned this duty,
the appointees coming from the failures
of the profession who hang around the
courts, hoping for a stray fee from the
unfortunates, or from the heterogeneous
of the profession, youths just let loose
from college and anxious for chance to
try their hand at case. Those readers
who have had experience about courts
know that there is much force in this
contention.
The action of the supreme court late
ly in holding that tax titles are abso-
lutte unless 1t can be shown that the
property involved was either exempt
from taxation, or the taxes had been
actually paid, thus demonstrating that
the return and sale was a mistake, and
therefore illegal, has brought the mat
ter to the attention of the legislature,
and there have been introduced a
number of bill designed to give the de-
linquent property owner more Of a
