We regret to say that the many messages
from China since the publication of
Consul Goodenow's despatch to the State
Department. announcing the massacre at
Pao Ting, tend to confirm the contents
of that despatch. 1t may be, however,
that the confirmation is more apparent
than real, that is to say, that all the mes
sages rest on precisely the same founda-
tion as Mr.. Goodenow's and are essential
ly but repetitions of it. While therefore,
the reports are oninous they are not yet so
conclusive as to cause the abandonment
of all hope that the Portland mission

The first essential OF a reform of the
Democratic party and it's restoration to
its old place in the politics of the country
is the killing off of Bryanism and Popu-
ism. The Gold Democrats understand
that perfectly, and the most OF them
propose to vote for Mckinley as the sur
est and most direct way of bringing this
about. No third ticket for them which
would deprive their votes of half their

Applauded Too Soon for the Speaker.
From the Chicago Tribune.
An amusing incident during the Wisconsin
democratic state convention on Tuesday
showed the drift of public sentiment even
among democrats. The temporary chair
man of the convention, in taking his seat,
said: Where the United States has plant
ed its flag it shall never be hauled down."
The convention broke into cheers which
were hearty and long. and which showed
clearly that the sentiment was that of the
majority Of those present. But his audi
tors had misunderstood the chairman, who
continued when the applause subsided. "Ex-
cept by the people of the United States"
There was some laughter when the delegates
rallied that they had applauded too soon.
But the incident should have brought home
to them the unpopularity Of one of the is
sues which Mayor Harrison and other
democrats believe should be taken up by
the party this year.

Aaron Palmer, who for nearly four years
has been known as the "ossifled man. in
Bellevue Hospital. is improving. and the
indications are that in few months he will
be in better health than for the past dozen
years. Until a month ago Mr.. Palmers
legs from the hips down were like marble
or china. In his own words, they looked
like china cup. He could not move them.
They had shrunken to about half their
normal size and were as rigid as stone.
His arms from the shoulders down and his
hands were in the same condition. Today
his legs from the hips down to the knees
are normal. He can move his legs at the
hip joints. From the knees down they are
still rigid. He has no control over the
knee joints. But the flesh from the knee
down Is soft and normal in color. 1t is
strangely cold to the touch, however His
arms are now all right. He can move them
freely at the shoulder, elbow and wrist, but
his thumbs and fingers are still partly rigid
On both hands they are turned inward on
the palms They are more flexible than
they were, and he can move them a trifie.
The strange improvement is due to the
big bake oven which was placed In the
hospital about a month ago, in which pa-
tients suffering from certain diseases are
baked at the tremendous temperature of $50
to 400 degrees. Palmer was one Of the first
patients placed in the bake oven and now
he is baked regularly on alternate days.
