CHICAGO, Nov. 21.-The Record says:
All kinds of leather and hides in the
United States and Canada have taken a
sudden jump in price because of a gen.
eral scarcity of the raw and manu-
featured material put the markets al
most in a state of panic. In the last 10
days the best grades of oak butts which
are used for betting have advanced
from SO to 40 cents a pound, and the
first quality Of oak sole leather, used in
the making of boots and shoes, has
risen from "a to 80 cents.
A year ago betting leather was down
to 30 cents a pound, with other kinds of
tanners goods in proportion. The
Transvaal war is helping to drain the
low available supplies of American
leather and add to the famine prices.

CURRENT COMMENT.
THE sooLoo-AMERIoANs
(Biddeford Journai.)

The efforts of Gen. Bates to get the Sui
tan of the Sooloo group in the southern
part of the Philippines to recognize the
United States as the sovereign power,
bid fair to succeed. As this is the only
place that ode facto'' has recognized our
sovereignty, 1t will be of interest to note
the sort of seif-goyernment we hestow
upon its polygamous, slave-holding peo-

really ailments Of the viii, aud that their
cure consists in treating the will. or the
mind, rather than the body. This was
the case In question. The physician dis
covered by examination that there was
no organic disease Of the limbs which
his patient thought she could not use.
He found the bones, muscles, cords and
nerves intact. The machine was perfect
In every part, but the motive power, the
will, did not act. Therefore he devoted
his efforts to erousing the will, because
that was the seat Of the trouble. His In
vestigation negatived the existence Of
any disease OF the body. Now to under.
take to set up this case, where there was
no bodily disease, az showing that no
such thing as disease ever exists, and to
claim that Bishop McCabe, by relating il,
has borne witness to the truth of the theo-
rles Of Mrs. Eddy and the extreme Christian
Science omit, is TO bid defiance to all logic
and common sense, yet that is what our
correspondents is trying to do. Because
some apparent ailments exist only in the
belief, it by no means follows that all do.
Cancers are no less real because some
people imagine they have cancers when
they do not. Because some men with
good legs imagine they cannot walk
IL does not follow that there
are no broken legs. Nothing
that Bishop McCabe related in
the publication in question gives the
slightest support to the claim of the
Eddy school that all disease Is mere be-
lief, and has no existence in fact. On
the contrary. the purpose and the ten
denoy of it was to show that these re-
markable cures of the Christian 5cien-
lists are cures where no actual dissase
of the body exists, and THAT they can be
performed just as we'll without having sat
at the feet of Mrs. Eddy, as after
thorough instruction in her alleged
science.
