This is a libel npon the American people who pride themselves upon their intelli- gence, However, if, what the bigh-tax advocates say is trae, then it must be admitted that the American peop'e dis” played a great deal of good sense in pot tiug their foot down on a scheme of Mc- Kialey & Co., which taey could not un- derstand. A moraiog paper says the Rev. Dr. McGlynn isscon to be reinstated asa priest of the Charch of Rome. This is learned upon good ecclesiastical suthor- ity. Bishop Moore, of St. Aagustine, Fla., has been workiog in Dr. Metilynn's behalf incessantiy. His efforis have at jast been so far successful! that Dr, Me. Giynn's case will spon be reopened at Rome. Wuetber he repudiatsg the George doctrines in 80 many words and openly or not Lis reinstatement in the church will be equivalent to a recauta- tion of those docirines, inasmuch as they have been declared Leretical by the church since McGlyon's excommu« nication.

The Democrats count 217 representatives elected aud there are 27 Democrats and Farmers Alliance members, but they will probably act with the Democrats, #8 with two or three exceptions they were chosen oa fasion tickets, The Democratic and Alliance majority is 157, The straight Democratic majority over all is 103, la the present housa after Roed’s “purge” the Republican majority is 24, In Avgusta, Me, Union services, which were generally attended, were held in the Congregational church, of which Mr. Blaice is a member, on Thanksgiving day.

The Force Bill, N. Y, Sun: The principal thing in President Harrison's message is a zealous recommendation that the Force bill should be taken up and press d through Qongress, There is littie need of any further ar- gument on this subject. This bill is simply a revolation. I's one purpose is to continue the dominant party in pows er; and to this end its promoters are will- ing to destroy local self-government, to overthrow the rights of citizens and of communities, and to change a republic of free elections into a concentrated par ty despotism. This 8 ‘heme should be resisted deters minedly, unyieidingly, uncompromis- ingly, by every Democrat, If necessary, every means of delay and obstruction should be resorted to in Cougress. The mischiefs that are sure to arise from such a political revolution are so great and so grave as to overshadow every other question, Whatever diff -rences of opinion may exist among Democrats concerning oth- er subjects, let there be unity and coop~ eration concerning this.

Pat down the Republican conspiracy to destroy them ! ————— The report of the interstate commerce commission for the year 1889, just issued shows that during that year 5823 per. sors were killed and 26,309 injared on the railroads of the United States. Of this number 1,972 of the killed and 20,- 028 of the injured were railroad employ- es’ That is to say, railway accidents are the occasion for one death for every 117 employes and one injury for every twelve men employed. The ratio for the pres vious year was about thesame. Compar ing these figures with those for Eogland the result is not favorable to this country. Io England, in 1888, one person was kill- ed for every S575, and one injored for every 158 men employed. The acc: dents to passengers it appears that in this coantry in 1880 one passenger in every 1,523,133 was killed, and one pas- senger in every 220,024 was injared. For the year 1888 the rate of casualty ja Eng. land to passencers from railway acci- dents wes one passenger in 942,336 kill ed, and one passenger in 527.577 injared, These figures would seem to indicate that the railroads of this country might do well to pay a litte more attention to throwing safeguards around travel. lt inns Queer. Koch, the discoverer of a preventive of consumption, is talked about snd read about all over the world. He is the great man of the times. If his discovery proves what he claims for it, then he is justly entitled to fame. He is the pres server of thousands of lives; he saves thousands from becoming widows, and thousands more from becoming orphans. And for this Dr. Koch will be counted a great man—and very justly, Here is another: A general takes charge of an army. He succeeds in kill- ing thousands; making thousands of wives widows, and many more thousands of children orphans. And the entire world applauds this general as a great mao, and high honors are given him. Here are two characters whom the world lauds, yet their achievements are directly the opposite. How queer! is I Mond A government courier and a scont came in from Wounded Knee late a few nights ago and reported that the ghost dancers had killed one of their number. It hap- pended in a significant maoner. The dancers had their medicine men concoct the old-time preparation with which the braves of Caster’'s time always saturated their shirts preparation to going to war. This concoction is supposed by the In. dians to ward off ballets. After the alleged wonderful charm had been mixed a war shirt was dipped into it wod then put on one of the braves, The wearer of the charmed raiment then jumped into the midst of the dancers and called npon the dancers to fire at him. They complied, and at the fist shot that was fired Mr, Brave, who had on the bulletsproof shirt, fell to the ground morally wounded. When General Brooke heard of the affair he remarked simply dryly. “Porbably the shirt was not long eaongh.” i tf, A ———_ Newton Hamilton had a serious fire early on last Tuesday morning.

To Visit Oalifornia and the Far West via PP. BR. BR. Possibly no feature ever inaugurated by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company has attracted such universal comment and attention as the series of tours it bas announced, to be run early in 1891 to the far Pacific coast. Ea~h tour will be limit- ed to one hundred passengers who will travel in a Pullman vestibule train furnished with the luxurious appoints ments of the richest home, with ladies’ maid stenographer and typwriter, library bath and barber, and smoking and libra ry rooms, and an observation car—in truth an exact reproduction of the famous Pennsylvania Limited, The first tour leaves New York February 7th, and speeds directly to the scene of the famons Mardi Gras at New Oricans, and then out to Southern California, and directly north to Ban Francisco, where the un- lation occupies a place on the federal statute books.

To this end it is proposed to urge the | coming State Legislature to anthorizethe issue of State bonds to build such a read as a relief for the people, the State to own and control it. The lymph used by Professor Koch for the cure of tuberculosis is prepared in an incabatiog stove within a space that is hermetizally sealed and sterilized and thereby rendered free from fungus. The interior of the airtight space is divided by an ungiazed porcelain diaphragm into an upper and lower section. In the upper section is placed a salted meat broth in a gelationus state contining colonies of the tubercle germ, This mass gradoally liquefies and the gelatine liquid drops slowly through the porcelain plate into the lower section, The liquid then contains all the secretory products, bt is free from all living or dead germs or reproductive spores and is the lymph as used. By the injection of the lymph the tabercle germ is killed, and at the same time the injected particles retain suffici- entstrength to detach and expel the dead germs, together with the dead tissue.
