MR.. GARRETT'S STATEMENT.

The American electorate has reach

tent TO Judge a mans fitness for public
Office solely on the basis Of his record
for party loyalty. One reason for this
and probably the chief one. as we have
from time TO time pointed out, is that
party principles, as such, have failed
to keep pace with the issues of the
day. with the result that there is no
longer the sharp distinction between
parties that once existed.

DEAD MAN BEARS THE BLAME,

The coroner's jury OF investigation
into the terrible wreck OF the Missouri
Pacific Railroad at Sulphur Springs,
Mo-, by which nearly forty persons
were killed and many injured, returned
a verdict laying the blame entirely on
the engineer OF the fast express train
which plunged into the rear OF the
local train standing at the station. The
engineer was instantly killed in the
collision, and could not speak for him.
self.
The testimony, however, established
facts which tend to justify this verdict.
II was shown the block signal had
been set to notify the engineer OF the
fast express OF the imminence OF the
local train ahead OF him. but evidently
he failed TO note this plain warning
He had received a few minutes before
a train order notifying him OF a meet
ing place with the fast express train
coming in the opposite direction--tht
road is single track-and evidently
was reading this order when he passed
the place where the stop signal wal
displayed and rushed on to his de-
struction. The train order was found
near his dead body.
Here It Is shown how slight an Incl
dent may precipitate an awful dis
aster. This engineer had been in ser
vice more than thirty years with no
a single black mark" on his record
Yet his one moment OF careless neglec
was attended by horrible conse
quences. 1t is evident that continue
vigilance and care are essential to a
avoidance Of railroad accidents.

ventive, so there is no need of hystria arising from the bite of a dog, even though the dog be rabid, if the wound is properly treated and the Pasteur treatment given.
 There have been cases of individ- uals bitten by dogs who have devel- oped hysteria and some have gone through such stunts as barking and biting and other antics-none of them being characteristic of rabies.
 I read of a case like this. A man was bitten by a small dog. The wound was cauterized and healed but his great fear brought on state of hys- teria of this type three or four days after. It was only when he was told by a physician in whom he had con- fidence that he was making a d. fool of himself, that the dog did not have hydrophobia. and that even if he had it was far too early for him to be showing any symptoms of it, that he fully recovered
 The Pasteur treatment depends up- on the prinatp1e that the body manu-is factures a eefence against disease if the disease is not too virulent. It con sfsts of a series of injections of small portions of dried spinal cord of rab- bits which have been given the dis ease. A small rs0rtfon of the cord, about the sic of small dried pea, IS very I1nely ground In small amount of sterile salt solution is pull veried. This is injected into the tissue directly under the skin of the abdom- fnal wall.
 1ution of a cord which has been Tried a sufficient length of time so that the virus is very mild. After the in jection, the body of the patient inn media tely begins to manufacture a de- fence against it. On succeeding days portions of cords which have not been dried so long are used and the system continues to manufacture this defence, making it stronger all the time
 By the time the poison from the original bite is developed, the body has manufactured enough strong de- fence to neutralie it.
 If I were bitten by a rabid dog I certainly would take the Pasteur treatment, even though only 30 per cent. of those bitten develop hydro phobia.
