BLoopLETTING.
1t Is Still Resortcd to by Doctors In
Ccrtnim Emergencies.


Bloodletting. or "venesection.' as it
Is known scientifically, was once the
common remedy for nearly every form
of ailment. Washington died of it. in
the opinion of modern mcaical authori-
ties, and soon after his time there was
q reaction against vcnesection. Better
medicinal agents accomplished what
ever benefits were attributed to this he
roic treatment, and Il better knowledge
Of physiology condemned the practice.
Nenesection. however. is still en-
ployed i'll certain emergencies by the
most advanced practitioners. y Ger
man physician has made am extensive
study of the subject, with clinical cy-
periments. and reaches the conclusion
that in certain case> where the heart
and lungs are eugorged With blood
venesection is permissible because. OF
the speedy relief it gives. often after
other %our have failed.
Deadly toxins are also present in the
blood in some diseases, and vencsection.

Bloodletting affords relief to the livid
sufferer from a diste3led heart when
every breath is a strusgl but its use
has been reduced to an exact science.
and it is regarded in medicine rs a

Senator Elkins. of Virginia, and
Governor Cnmmins, of Iowa, are
now trying to settle the question
which has been m%aliening the other,
concerning the testimony that the
governor gave before the senate in
vestigating committee on the rail-
road rate question last summer.
The governor insisted that the COM
.mittee was in sympathy with the
railroads and the senator declared
that the senatorial body was not and
that Gov. Cummin showed the SEN
ators no courtesy when he went about
his W state and made the undig-
nitied charges concerning the COM
mittee. The story is likely to be con
tihued until each has the last word.

that of others.
What we call the heart is a nervou

Nobody should look anxious except
those who have no anxiety.

A peculiar mass meeting was held
in Chicago last Sunday-one that is
evidently in hearty accord with the
cosmopolitan citizenship Of that city.
Recently an edict went forth from
the chief of policies office to the
effect that bars from which liquor
was dispensed should not be allowed
in dance halls. -rhis.order was issued
for the purpose OF closing some of the
more disOrderly and disreputable
places in the city but it had the
same effect against all the dance
halls in the city. This resulted in a
mass meeting which embraced all
the foreign element in the city, and
they congregated in all parts Of the
city. From the north. west and
south sides came the Turner's, 5000
strong, besides members OF singing
sOcities, national societies, and SOL
diers' organizations. From the west
ana northwest sides the Bohemian
and Polish adherents made up the
crowd, while the French, Hungarian,
Danish and Italian came from all
parts of the city. They organized
into professions in the various parts
of Chicago and then marched to one
common center-tbe First Regiment
armory, where 10000 people were on
the inside and 3d. 600 on the outside
and for what? for preserving the
bar at society dances. Speeches
were made denouncing the city adj
ministration for the attempt to de-
prive the social societies of one of
the pleasures at the dances they
hold. 1t was a monster demOnstra-
ton and while it might have been
assembled in a wortllier cause, yet
those people looked upon this depri-
walton as a personal right taken
away. They do things somew hat
differently in Chicago than most
places and this mass meeting was
but the result OF pri yiIeges which
have always been extended. Very
strong resolutions were passed de-
handing the withdrawal of the or
der and that the bar at.these funct-
ions be restored to its oldtime place.
Just how the city council OF Chicago
a keep the bar in one hall and
close it to another is a problem that
will not easily be solved. 1t was a
mass meeting that will long live in
the MINDS of the citizens of Chicapn

France has passed Sunday law for
bidding common labor on the Sabbath.
This is in marked contrast with the re.
cent apparent antagonism between
church and state in that country, where
the enforcement of law taxing church
property has led to bloody riots.
France has long defied religious teach
ings of Sunday observance, and mechan-
les and others have been accustomed to
work seven days week. Thi. new
law is not so much an expression OF re.
ligious movement as it is a recognition
of a physical necessity for rest and
change. 1t does not pay to ignore the
rest day, and this is lesson for many
in other countries besides France.

JETTY ON THE NORTH.

With fear and trembling, almost with
awe, at our temerity in venturing to
counsel the omnipotent force behind the
jetty improvements at the mouth of
the Columbia river, we hazdrd the in
quiry if it is not about time some steps
were taken toward the building of ths
north-jetty. The iron logic of the sit
uation down there, so far as We have
been able to scan it, is that the south
arm is far enough out to need the
parallel on the north so that the river
current and the tides may be hemmei
to limit that will be effective in
washing out the direct channel, and be-
gin the work for which the system was
inaugurated. OF course no one among
the laity is supposed to know anything
about such matters, and questions of
this sort are usually deemed impertinent
at headquarters, but we are anxious to
have this one answered. if there is any
one to do so, and not lose his job!
