This Is the Record.

During the past three months q great many people residing ill Waterbury aud vicinity have been benefited and cured by the Radio Cnemic physicians
 Many cured patients testify daily to the merits Of their treatments and remedies. Their grand success is cer- tain and the permanency of their Ioca- ton here Is assured Many reports have been circulated which were in tended to shake the confidence of the public in the N-Ray doctors. in spite of the opposition of certain people who are ignorant of the methods of the Radlo-Chemic physicians they have made a wonderful record for curing difficult a'nd distressing diseases. To correct the many conflicting stories circulated the following figures are submitted. They indicate a wonderful amount of good done in a surprisingly short time. Tn three months 6,S!lJ people have been given an N-Ray ex- animation by tue Radjo-CheInic physi- clans; 4,9T3 have been treated for some serious complaint; 421 have been refused treatment as incufable; 2,:553 have been cured and there are it pres ent 2.199 patients under trcatm The N-Ray doctors point with pride to their grand record of people cured by their magnetic treatments and potent vegetable remedies.

c. Fl. Poe's "Southern View" of lynching in the Atlantic Monthly is a helpful because hopeful voice from the south. He indulges ill none of the wild talk about extel1ninatiol, or or hopeless subjection of the negroes. That they are here to stay, and that we must either help to lift them 11p or count upon their drag ging us down, Mir Poe quietly takes for granted. No main sees more clear ly than he the certainty with which lynching runs rapidly into anarchy. To excuse one is to pal1iate the other. The method of putting down lynching is, while removing so far us may be It's provocative causes, to treat it as the enemy of constituted society Some of NIr Poe's proposals respect ing the punishment of 1ynchers are ingenious-more ingenious than prac- ticable, we fear. But his general at titude is as commendable as it is noteworthy. Here is at least one southern man who is willing to ad- init that 1yhc1itlg, and the other hor- TOTS growing out of the relations of the white and black races, are sur viyals of barbarlsm! and that they are to be attacked as arc other forms of lingering savagery by law, by edti- cation, and by the sedulous creation of right sentiment.

Tie man who .'does' something these days is almost compelled to take d flight into literature. Daniel I. Slllly has iliiquestionaDly done something and has followed it up with an article in the North American Review. He asks if the high price of cotton is the result Of manipulation and finds that .'the staple has pulled itself A se- ries of short crops has done the business. Corners, he says could not be plahned and executed at the out set of cotton year; no clique Of spec ulators could be found with money and daring enough to attempt such d thing But possibly speculation, like fancy, grows with what it feeds oil. Tn 1903, Mi Sully resigned the leader ship Of the market to MT Brown, and went abroad, but came back and took over the control once more. Evident ly he found that there were more possibilities in the situation than he had dreamed of Some day we may know how much the advance in cot. ton has been due to natural causes and how much to manipulation. Mir Sully's facts are about as conclusive as those advanced in the late eighties by the French Copper Syndicate, or those on which the Leited operations of a few years ago were based. Mean while it is worth noting that errors have been detected recently in tine sta tistics relating to cotton receipts.
