The old story of Prometheus is par
able. Prometheus was on terms of in
timacy with the gods. From them he
stole fire and gave it to men. For this
sin he was bound to the rocks of Mount
Caucasus, and vuitures were set upon
him. They only ate his liver This
grew again as fast as 1t was pecke ed
away Are; his sufferings to be inn
agined! Take q modern Interpretation
of the parable. There is no cooking
without fire. In cooking and eating
the mischief lies. The stomach is
overtasked, the bowels become clogged,
they cannot dispose of the food that is
given them. The impurities back up
on the liver. Then comes the vultures
the torments of q diseased liver. DR..

Lake. That Change Color.

1t is well known that the water Of
many lakes exhibits characteristic col
ors, The lake of Geneva, at the western
end of Switzerland, is blue. while the
lake of Constance, at the eastern end of
Switzerland. is green Blueness implies
purity, since the natural color of water
is blue. a green lake has its water
slightly clouded with impurities which
may be exceedingly fine PARTICLES. sep
arately invisible. Professor Spring of the
University of Liege Gays that green
lakes sometimes become absolutely col
orless for time. and he has found that
this sudden change of hue is due to the
washing into the lakes of mud colored
red by oxide of iron. Red is compile
mentary to green. and the result of the
mixture is that the gresn color of the
water becomes for the time neutralized

Curious Indian Custom.

A curious custom prevails among the
lowest classes of southern India for OBJ
tanning rain in times of drought. A
gigantic figure of woman is stretched
to its full length ON its back ON an open,
very low four wheeled carriage. and the
carriage is dragged round the streets,
the Indian peasantry accompanying il
with the deafening noise of their tom
toms. drums and bugles. The custom is
explained by the popular notion that
the figure on the cart represents this
wife of Varuna. the god of rain. and
that when he sees his favorite wife
dragged rnthlcssly along the streets he
sends down torrents of rain to wreak
his vengeance.

PROCLAMATION
HAS BEEN ISSUED.
United STATES Commissioners Lay
Down United States Policy.
FILIPINOS misunderstood.

Manila, April 1.-The United
States Filipino Commission issued
proclamation this morning con-
tanning 1900 words. to the insur-
gents of the islands.
The paper outlines the policy of
the United States in the Philip
pines, and states that the object of
the United States government is
to lift up the Filipino people.
The hostilities now prevailing
here are attributed to the Filipi-
nos misunderstanding of the poll
cy of the United S ates. The
commission asks the cooperation
of the people for the establishment
of a better understanding, and in
vites the attention of the Fiiipinos
to the following specific principles ::
American supremacy must be
enforced
2.-The most ample liberty posi-
BILE will be given.
3.-All civil rights are guaranteed.
4. Honor forbids the use of the
Philippines as a means of expa-
triation.
Civil service laws are guaran-
teed.
6-An honest fiscal government
will be esta blished.
All corruption will be eradi-
Gated.
Public works of all kinds will
be promoted.

ittfu Stiipuo hiiHlcuto, huh every
patent medicine quack and nos
irum has numerous adherents.
They all stand together in this re-
spect of producing cures. No
doubt there are hundreds of per
sons who could be cured of appar-
entity serious ailments by the negro
infant who so lately held forth in
New York as a divine prodigy, if
he would only go in for this line
of business.
1t becomes a serious matter what
shall be done to protect society
against the practice of this system
of healing, which is responsible for
premature loss of life TO an in
creasing number of people.
Christian Science makes the larg-
est pretensions, it claims to heal
every i'll that flesh is heir to, in
cluding accidental injuries. 1t
teaches that through its science
death is conquered and destroyed
1t further claims not to be depend
ent in any wise on faith, for the
atheist can be treated even more
successfully than the believer.
Now. when the results of this meth
cd of mental treatment are prema-
ture death in all cases whore or
ganic disease is present, or life
disability, or worse, in case of frac-
ture, 'can society stand aside and
permit these injuries to be inflicted
upon misguided members? We
aim to protect ourselves by legal
enactment against injuries from
other sources, why not here also?
The physician who Injuries his pa
tient through malpractice is Sc
yerely dealt with according to law =:
what reason can there be for ex-
empting from penalty person
who has no license or right to
meddle with the life or health of
our peopleY We legally forbid a
man the right to suicide, why
should the right be granted to
others to ignorantly murder him?
Christian Science has impressed
its lesson of the influence of mind
over matter upon the medical fra
ternity as well as upon others, and
any reason it ever had for exist
ence, has passed. 1t does not
reach the whole of man, but only
a part and can now safely be left
to the use of the regularly edu-
Gated and prepared anatomists and
psychologists, who will properly
use lis virtues without injuring
the afflicted by its absurdities.
Christian Science has done lit
tie that entities it to favorable rec
ognition by the general public, or
gives it the right to treat our sick
friends to the exclusion of the gen
orally recognized methods of the
healing art AS well might this
sacred right of dealing with hui
man life be permitted by law to
gypsies or clairvoyant mediums,
AS TO permit set of uneducated
pseudo-scientists or fanatics to
tamper with human life. according
to principles which their own com
mon knowledge must tell them to
be arrant nonsense.

The
String After Issues

to object, not indeed to the tenor of these
declarations but the manner OF making
them. They insist that the Peoples par
ty should not act through conventions,
but give to the rank and file the making
of party nominations and platforms, as
provided by the Cincinnati convention,
and further insist that those who en-
dorsed that plan, published it to the coun-
try and yet go on calling and taking
part in conventions, evince lack OF good
faith, put the stamp of insincerity upon
their work But to demand the impos-
sible is unreasonable 1t is indeed true
that the plan OF organization adopted at
Cincinnati pledged the party to the abo-
lition Of conventions and the making Of
nominations through the precinct clubs,
all of which was a most wise and far
reaching step in the direction Of dethron-
ing the party boss and making the will
OF the people law, and withal a step that
the Peoples party was called upon to
take, for it is cardinal tenet of that
party that the will of the people is the
will of God, and that the will of the peo-
pie shall be done. The party, then, should
not act through conventions in the max
ing of nominations, but through the pre-
cinct clubs. But how is the party so to
act until precinct club organization is
formed? How is it to make nominations
through precinct clubs until such clubs
are formed? And until such clubs are
formed must the party take no action;
must it not put up any candidates.; must
it not hold up its banners; must it not
meet in convention and make plans for
furthering the work OF organization?
Such questions answer themselves. Let
the party fold its hands until precinct
club organization is formed and it would
die. Precinct clubs would never be
formed The plan Of organization adopt
ed at Cincinnati could never be put in
operation. The ground must be pre-
pared; the banners of Populism must be
held aloft; the organization of precinct
clubs must be pushed, or they never will
be formed in effective numbers. A COM
pact working organization will not
spring tip of itself. 1t will grow if the
ground is cultivated and seeded and wa
tered. not otherwise The soil is fertile,
but there will come no magic germina-
ton, although indeed the growth, once
started, may be SO rapid as to appear
magic

clearly when they declared:

alo conference called for June 18th next,
by Eltweed Pomeroy of New Jersey,
who has served Senator Butler as right
hand man on many occasions, but whom
we believe we are justified in saying no
longer c1assifes himself as Populist He
was member of the Populist National
Committee from New Jersey, but at the
last regular state coflveIttion he was duly
decapitated as member OF such COM
mittee. What he isFin politics at present

the sort OF nondescript role of reformer

And we say he called for though many
names, and many names of we'll known
and some honored and highly respected
men of all parties, old and new, appear
on the call OF invitation which he sent
out as secretary, there are many which
were attached thereto without the con-
sent of or even communication with the
gentlemen designated. A case in point
is that of Captain Burkitt, OF Mississippi.
We single it out because no Popullst Of
the great South is more highly or de-
servedly respected for probity and up
rightness than Captain Burkitt, and by
many Popu1ists his name on call for a
conference is accepted as assurance that
such conference is called to promote the
political ideals that he cherishes. And
yet this Buffalo conference is called, If
we mistake not, to smother those very
ideals and to that call his name was at
tached without his consent, as those OF
many other men known Dy the neighbors
to be true to their col lotions, men IN
whose natures strains of deceitfulness do
not run, and who as a consequence are de-
servedly honored and trusted by those
who know them The unauthorized use
OF such names appears very much like
an effort to entrap true Populists in fu-
sion snare The whole. Buffalo move
ment looks suspiciously like a move to

In theory the right of trial by jury. in
this state is inviolable In practice it does
not amount to "a hill of beans Read
this:
Judge Simpson has filed an order OF
setting aside the verdict of the jury re-
turned in the case of the Swedish Chris
tian Mission society against Maria NJ.
Lawrence and the Minnesota Scandnav-
ian Relief association. The dispute arose
over a life insurance policy issued by the
defendant company on the life of Andrew
Norlin, Mrs. Lawrence's father The
rights in this policy were afterwards as
signed to the mission society by Mrs
Lawrence in consideration OF its prom
ising to keep up the premiums and to take
care of her father during his lifetime: On
his death, however, she contested the
case on the ground that the society had
failed to live up to its part of the con-
tract. The jury divided the indemnity,
awarding the society $oS4.oo and Mrs.
Lawrence $1,000. This verdict the court
has now set aside and ordered the case
back for retrial.
What's the use OF having a jury when
a judge finally decides what the verdic.
shall be? Better abolish the jury and
leave the whole thing in the hands OF the
judge.
