Faitor Star :—Is 15 not a waste of time, money and labor to organize political clubs, raise flag- les and get up processions and mass meetings the District of Columbia? In the states such things are done with a view to win and to retain votes to the parties resorc- ing to them, and they are wise and proper means of Capen their public affairs. But nothing of the kind done in the District of Columbia can make or lose a vote for either party, or upon any ques- Uon, national or local. Furthermore, the first and highest use of this District 13 as a home for the federal government, which means the as- cendant party for the time being. While every citizen of the District Isas free as any other American to hold and to express political opinions, I submit that it is neither wise nor decent in Columbians (if I may so term them)to organize sn utterly useless clamor against a arty in possession, or a party in expectancy, of e government.

The London press ts dis] to be facetious in regard to Dr. Tanner’s experiment. It re- Ports that up-town grandees are driving to see im, down-town democrats are readiug bul- letins about his hungering, a committee of phy- sicians are watching him with keen professional Jealor and if the interesting doctor does not die soon, the fashionable people of Saratoga and Long Branch propose postponing all otucr amusements to attend his funeral. To experi- ment, it adds, isnot uncommon with doctors; but Dr. Tanner is an exception tothe rule ot ison nearly poisoned himselt with Calabar bean; that, toxicologists, after having slain a hee: tou:d of rabbits, have more than once all but slain themselves in their scientific zeal; and there is a tradition that an entomological en- Ubusiast groaned for six weeks owlng to bis eagerness to acquire a personal knowledte of one of the endless insect plagues which burrow under the skins of West Indians. But Dr. Tan- ner has as yet the distinction of ne the only fasting doctor. The Welsh fasting girl’s fraud collapsed in eight days. Her Tutbury rival proved no stouter an exception to physiological laws, and Louise Lateau has always been a sore trial to medical faith. It regards his holding Out as among the possibilities, for it 13 an ac- knowledged fact that halt-witted people are more difficult to starve to death than those with the average amount of brains. Meantime New York is delighted. The daily reports are “anxiously discussed all over the country,” and the doctors who by their presence are encour- aging their foolish brother to outrage the laws Or nature are only a shade less interesting than. the man whom they are abetting in his pro- Jonged attempt at suicide.
