Senator Lindsay ts a lawyer of great abil- gifts. ity, General Buckner a capital representa- tive of the martial spirit of the state, Mr. Watterson a brilltant writer and cam- paigner and Colonel Breckinridge easily one of the best speakers in a state of speakers. If such men are not entitled to be heard and heeded at a time when party counsels are divided and the most important issues are at stake it is difficult to understand why. They have ability, age, experience, unselfishness, all to recommend them, and they are addressing their own political kith and-kin, whose welfare they must have devotedly to heart. It is urged by the friends of silver in Kentucky and elsewhere that these men were once themselves advocates of silver, and are largely responsible for the exist- ence of silver sentiment in the state. Speeches n.ade and votes cast by Mr. Car- lisle and Colonel Breckinridge when they were members of Congress are quoted, and extracts from Mr. Watterson’s editorial utterances In his newspaper are reproduced, to support savage attacks on those gentle- men for what is characterized as their se of front. But the point of most valce to be considered is not of the past but of the present. The silver question has ally changed in twenty years, all tte conditions to which it apples.

Aside from the fatal contagtous diseases pecultar to man there is probably no phys- {eal ailment that inspires so marked a feel- ing of horror as rabies, or hydrophobia. The mere mention of this is suffictent in summer to arouse the apprehersions of even the most indifferent and the cry of “mad dog” is sure to excite all who hear it with an unspeakable dread. This is largely because the disease {s mysterious. It ts i to some authorities, and many supposed cases of rabies are in reality of an entirely different sort. The imagination plays a most import- ant part in developing the disease and prob- ably the most sensible warning ever given by sefentific observers to the people is that the sooner the bite of a dog supposed to be diseased is forgotten the more surely will it prove innocent of bad results. A writer in a recent issue of “Our Animal Friends” seeks to dispel some popular illusions re- garding hydrophobia that are well worth repeating in brief, at this particular time of year. He asserts that the “mad” dog does not dread water, but that he gladly plunges his head in it, even though he can not swallow it. Again, the mad dog does not run about with evidences of intense ex- citement, but jogs slowly along, in a mournful manner, avoiding society and bit- ing only when approached. Nor does the af- flicted animal bark, yelp or growl, his only utterance while affected being a hoarse howl and that but seldom. He does not, ac- cording to this authority, froth at the mouth, but his disease Is marked by the ap- pearance about his lips of a thick, ropy, brown mucus that he tries to scrape off with his pdws. The writer gives these facts, which he declares to be based on ob- servation and scientific testimony, for the sake of these faithful creatures. Many dogs are undoubtedly killed during summer without reason, but it has always been held to be a safe rule that an ounce of preven- tion, especially in case of suspected rabies, is worth a pound of cure. The writer finally asserts that dogs are no more Hable to rabies In July and August, in the “dog days,” than at any other time of the year. ——_+ e+ —__ Senator Wellington should have realized that it take ars for a man to learn to successfully boss a city or a state, let alone a whole presidential administra- tion. —_—_ ee -___ It will be interesting to see how long it will take the germ of professional jealousy to spoil the friendship between the Czar and the K.

Much is being written these days about Cyrus A. Sulloway, congressman from New Hampshire, and his unusual height. He ts sald to be six feet seven inches in his stcckings, well proportioned, and “has arms like a windmill.” If Cyrus is only six and seven high he ts far below the average height of congress- men, ‘The Hon. Boy Bailey, the leaderette of the hopeless democratic minority, is fifty- fcur feet three Inches above data, with or without socks. Mr. Bailey began to grow very early in life and is still at tt. He says he expects to be a hundred feet high in time for the next election in his ‘Texas district. There ts no record of the exact height of Speaker Reed. It is admitted by his con- stituents in Maine that he is taller than a flagstaff and by a peculiar arrangement with his neck can shove his head three feet higher than his collar bone. In his re- cent book, “Men Who Have Sat on Me, Dr. Jerry Simpson says that Mr. Reed is at least 700 feet high. As Jerry took this measurement from underneath his subject ke probably allowed too much for perspec- tive. Gen. Grosvenor is several feet above high- water mark. This excessive growth was made necessary by the general's habit of giving high estimates of republican ma- forities. A Triumvirate Mayor. From the Baltimore American. As all three of the republican candidates for the mayoralty nomination are abso- lutely confident of success, it becomes evi- dent that the next mayor of Baltimore will be a triumvirate. ——— Japan’s “Swelled Head.” From the New York Herald.
