programme of interest with some close,
exciting contests. Wednesday it was
the five-eights dash aud the gentlemen's
driving race. In the fve eights dash

applause of the grandstand by winning

opened with Tommy Tucker, Big Dutch,

boards and the talent played Big Dutch
for q winner but the crowd favored the
field with Populist factor. Big
Dutch the Montana, wonder of three
seasons set a new mark for the dis
tance but last season Populist equalled
the time and the public 'avored the Idaho
horse. But when the horses came to the
post Populist did not appear and an in.
quiry developed the fact that he had
never been entered. The judges de
clared all bets off and gave the betting
ring fifteen minutes to make new book.

Hero Hobson.

It is announced that Captain Hobson will again apply to be retired from ac- tive naval service to where he can wear his title and possibly enter poli- tics and at least extend his lecture business. So far the authorities have seen no especial reason why Hobson should be granted any such privilege. His temporary prominence in the late war when he bravely did the wron: thing Intellectually, seems to have an unfortunate effect upon his relations tc himself. He is too much in evidence We take the liberty to remark that it is not becoming for heroes to pose be- hind admittance fees. It isn't easy to reconcile great achievements with fifty cents look. Whether the government does retire Mir. Hobson or not, the gen. tleman himself cannot do himself a greater service than to keep stiII.- Hartford Courant.

One Witness for Vivisection.

At last, a witness has come forward to testify positively that scientific facts of practical value may result from the practice of vivisection-a prac- tice over which there has been contro- versy for years and years. Dr. William w Keen, an eminent surgeon of Phila- delphia, few days ago performed an operation on Midshipman Aiken of the United States navy to relieve him from the effects of injuries received in a football game. In a letter to Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire, who is one of the leading anti-vivisectionists of the country, Dr. Keen makes this statement of the case:
 II deem it my duty to call your at tention to the case of Midshipman Aiken, of the United States naval academy, who was recently injured Tn a football game. My reason for so do- ing is to show you by a single concrete example that knowledge gained by an- imal experimentation is an immense boon to humanity. and that, therefore, such experiments should be heartily encouraged.
 "The facts of MT. Aikens case are as follows: When I first saw him three days after the accident I found that he had been unconscious for a half hour after the accident, and ever since then had complained bitterly of head ache, which he located always in the forehead. Soon after the accident he began to develop convulsions. Tn six hours and a half after I saw him he had twenty-four of these attacks, all limited to the right arm.
 There was no fracture of the skull The only physical evidence of any in jury was a very slight bruise at the outer end of the left eyebrow
 Had I seen this case before 1885 I would have been unable to explain why the spasms were chiefly manifested in the right arm. I would have been jus tified in inferring that probably the front part of his brain was injured st the site of the bruise. Had I opened

Democratic Stupidity.

At the time of all others when the raDublicans of Arizona should be sus- tained everywhere in their efforts to obtain support in the United states senate for the omnibus statehood Dill. q considerable section of the democratic press is engaged in manufacturing and circulating lies refiecting on the good faith of these same republicans. The literature on this subject runs the whole scale from vague innuendo to more or less qualified charges that this or that republican is secretly opposing the bill and doing what he can at Washington to accomplish its defeat.
 Naturally the. intelligent democrats of the territory have been aroused to intense indignation against their party papers for showing so little judgment The course of the democratic papers referred to is stupi1 in the extreme. It is not worth while at this time to dignify the attacks by refutation of the charges, for nobody outside the insane asylum could sug- gest any reason why the republicans of the territory, any more than the demo- crats, should prefer to continue in ter ritorial bondage. Our object in refer ring to the matter at all is to empha- size the fact that these narrow, parti- san newspapers in a competition for high marks in stupidity would take the prize in a worlds contest.
 There is perhaps not a ten-year-old boy in the territory who would not perceive at once that the truth of the charges might be admitted for illustra- ton, and still the stupidity of the au- thors of these falsehoods would not be lessened. Since the fate of the bill exceedingly wise Crom the standpoint of these democratic ''gernalistsD to persuade republican senators that the republican leaders of Arizona wish to defeat the statehood billi
 While this policy would take the premium for idiocy under existing con- ditions, it might serve certain purposes in an election campaign. From the standpoint of dirty politics, when the state campaign comes on it will be all right for the democratic papers tc charge republican leaders with having been guilty of treason toward the statehood bill-all right to make the charge and "get away. with the play if they can-but what there is to Dc gained at this time nobody outside the democratic newspaper offices could guess.
 After the bill is passed or defeated there may be some occasion for demo cratic efforts to fool the people oncC moro

Spanish Unity.

To the student of general history and especially to the thoughtful stu dent of the history of modern times. few subjects are more notable than Spain's attempts to unify itself That country. which Americans have been constrained to consider almost ancient. is still far from one in spirit. in forms of national life and in practical funda- mentals for conflict with the outside foe. Catalonia is just now witnessing excitement on the language question. The Catalan language, though scarcely more than a rough dialect, and yet pos sessing some features allied to the Pro vencal, is the common speech of all classes in Catalonia, which includes Barcelona and Valencia. In the last century at least one writer of verse ennobled its good qualities. The Catal- onian, in addition to despising the Spanish language. despises also the Spaniard, and there is an inherite jealousy between Barcelona and Madrid which continues to cause friction be- tween the government of the nation and the provincial authorities. who re- tain special privileges descending from the days of the Goths. General Weyler has the credit of pointing out the ili effects of a different language in Catai- onia from that in Madrid. But his at tention was called to it by the fiscal policy of the Catalonians.-Prov Journal

Eastern Ignorance.

The extent to which the advocates of the omnibus bill have to combat eastern ignorance is indicated by the following editorial paragraph taken from the leading newspaper of Della ware, the Wilmington News:
 ''The Tucson chamber of commerce is to send five citizens to Washington to try to have Arizona admitted as a state Tucson has population of about eight thousand, which is twice S many as any other two towns in the state. The rest of the population, ac- cording to the last census report, was made up of those who were on reserva- tions set aside for the Indians Apaches, Navajoes, Supals, Hualpias. Moquis, and others. Thus it looks IS If the white population of the state was a comparatively. small number in the total of 123,000. Arizona should nor be state just yet especially when ii IS known that its entire number of voters is just about the number of voters in the city of Wilmington. And this city is not entitled to statehood. ..
 Of course, senators know more than some other people, but it is evident that few members of the greatest legisla- i've body on earth are quite as much at sea as the Delaware paper from which we have quoted.

his skull at that point I would have found a perfectly normal brain and have missed the clot. The young mar. therefore, would have died. whether his skull would have been opened or not.
 Tn 1902 observe the difference. As a result of knowledge derived from ex- periments upon animals which have To- cated precisely the center formation of the right arm l reached the conclu- sion that there had been a rupture oT the blood vessels within the head, and that the situation of the clots cores pond to the arm center Its position was fixed absolutely as a result of ex- periments upon animals.
 As soon as the skull was opened at this point the clot was found. It's thick est point being exactly over the arm center, and the blood was removed. with the result that the patients life was saved. This is only one of nun dreds of cases in which a similar eX- act location has been made by many surgeons both in Europe and America.
 "The anti-vivisectionists have ire quently denied that surgeons have learned anything from such experi- ments. I state with the greatest posi- tiveness that without the Knowledge derived from experiments upon ant mals which have demonstrated the facts of cerebral localization l should never have been able to locate the clot in MT.
