ABOUT the best explanation Of Dewey's
candidacy is that the minority element
OF the democratic party (that is, those
who approve Of President Mckinley's
conduct OF the war, with those who are
opposed to the free coinage OF silver at
the ratio OF l6 to l without reference.
etc." and also those who are against
Bryan on any issue) have put Dewey
forward in a hope to prevent Bryan's
nomination, and a, to them, less objec-
tionable man. We do not believe they
will succeed, but one good thing may
result from their honest effort, it may be
a demonstration to the doubtful that
the country does not mean to elect
Bryan to the presidency, and thus tend
to make the assurance of McKinley's
election doubly sure.

DAVID H. MERCER, who is serving his
fourth term in congress, has been nomi-
mated for fifth. Those who know David
will not be at all surprised should he
again succeed in being elected. Most
congressman are too bookish, giving too
much time to their own ambitions, in
stead OF devoting themselves to the gen.
eral welfare of the United States, and
the particular welfare OF their district.
But Mr.. Mercer is different, and the
people OF the Second Congressional dis
trict appreciate the situation. Dave has
evidently adopted Lincoln's famous triad
concerning the United States govern
ment, and being himself "of the people"
he aims in his work as the peoples agent,
to have it as ''by the people," and the
result naturally follows that il will be
''for the people"

FIxsEN, the Danish scientist, invented
process for destroying germs and
thereby curing certain diseases by means
Of light rays. This process is called
phototherapy. An apparatus has been
constructed and used by DR.. George
Hopkins, q Brooklyn physician, which
has attracted wide attention, especially
among cancer specialists. A telescope
tube directs very powerful ray OF light
upon the patient 1000 candle power;
quartz lenses are used to decompose the
light, the heat rays being eliminated
and the actinic rays, blue, violet and
ultra violet, being passed on along the
tube, and these are rays which, directed
upon the diseased part, act as germ de-
stroyers. but have no effect upon sound
flesh. The lengthy account before us
gives particulars Of the treatment OF
three cases, the remarkable thing in all
beiup that the eradication Of the can
csrous growth was entirely without pain
or soreness; the bad flesh was seemingly
absorbed or dissipated without injury
to the patient, the good taking it's place.
Finsen says that smallpox, scarlet fever
and other germ diseases can be cured by
phototheraphy. DIR. Hopkins has treat
ed lupus vulgaris only, as yet.
