The IsdianspoliB News has a bdna fide circulation more than one-half larger than that of any other daily paper in Indiana. -

A city tax af seventy-five cent is a thing to be crowed over. Whe value of low taxes to a community cannot be impressed upon it too strongly. If lawn cannot be enforced they should be repealed. A mockery of authority is dangerous. If the greenbackers fail here, Turkey offers them a promising field. Th» Porte ia ready to adopt almost any financial suggestion that can be made. The Wallingford (Conn.) community, which in a branch of the Oneida one, has adopted the same rule in reference to marriage, and hereafter those who marry will do so in accordance with the law. Tammany Hall continues its opposition to the renomination of Governor Robinbod, and last night fulminated more resolutions against him. If he should be aominated there will be a pretty row, which may leave something of-permanent value in the way of breaking up parties. Danville is making arrangements for a soldiers’ reunion on a large scale, and hopes to have the biggest one ever held in central Indiana. Among other things there will be a sham battle. Hendricks county was largely represented.in twentyeight different organisations during the war, and will supply a large local attendance. As many veterans here belonged to the same regiments and batteries, this meeting will have particular interest for them.

As England loses her market in this cihntry, she may maintain herself by the development of her colonies, to which in 1877, she exported $420,000,000 worth of goods. If she chooses to follow a protective policy she can keep out all competition, and better times will affect her colonies, as they will most other countries. Australia particularly ia likely to be her best buyer, for in 1877 she took $117,077,195 worth of manufactures, and that with _a population of little more than two millions and a half, or £9 6s. per capita. India in that same year bought $213,.'>02,005 worth.

Disk a ei.i must believe ift perpetual war. England no sooner begins to see her way clear out of the Zulu trouble, than another war is projected. This time it is with Bunnah, whose young king is a sot, drunk most of the time, and a hen drunk a victim of the vilest passions that ever swayed a man wholly given up to them. He has committed fearful atrocities and has given provocation lor attack. He has now raised an army and will resist, if indeed he does not begin the war. The end will be another British conquest and the addition of a rich kingdom to her dependencies. This will be the third war England has had with Burmah.

A i rm.K pressure of public opinion and the firm determination to enforce the Uw, has compelled the Oneida community of socialists to abandon their system of licenitonaness which they slanderously called marriage. The same thing can be done on a larger scale with Mormonlem. The one is no worse in kind than the other, end it is time tbet the law should no longer be mocked and despised. If the Hormone want a peculiar form of religion let them have it, bat when in the name of religion they demand protection for a licentiousness that strikes at the root of all true progress, and defy the laws of the land, the answer should be swift and severe punishment. oenuunrr uommlkmt.

It seems that the republicans have been successful in California, in spite of the combined opposition. They probably have elected all the members of congress, four in number—which ia a gain of two—and the governor. Kalloch’s election as mayor of San Francisco is conceded by a comparatively small majority, and the 'honorable bilks” are nowhere. When the Hon. George C.Gorham, late secretary of the senate and stalwart of the stalwarts, who deserted the republicans to become a “bilk,” reflects en the result, be will sing: “When 1 thinks of what Isas And what I used to was, I thinks 1'vs throwed myself sway Without sufficient cease.” The njercantile association gave hardly enough consideration to the suggestion that business should be suspended entirely on the day of the induatrial parade, so that employes might have a holiday.

Why do not the southern states follow the example of Rhode Island, instead of using the shot gun in politics? No matter how food or how intelligent a citizen of Rhode Island may be, if he doesn’t own real estate in the state he cannot vote. It mnst be remembered also, that there ts not enough real estate in Rhode Island to “go round.” If Mississippi should restrict the suffrage by a similar provision the shotgun could take a rest. If Sonth Carolina should do it tissue ballots would be no longer needed. Only this should be considered: It would not do to make.such a limitation of the suffrage in Mississippi as would leave the shotgun users outside.—[Boeton Herald.

Various irregularities in Demond’s official conduct were discovered last spring, and an examination of his books now snows that the amount of his defalcation is between $20,000 and $60,000. It was discovered in the investigation that Demond kept practically two sets of books. He had a cash book in which he kept a running account of moneys received, and at the end of the month this account was journaled and the items classified, and in the latter process he dropped from the record such sums as he appropriated to his own use. Demond had not obtained bail up to a late hour.

DM. WILLARD PARK KB. A Tataraa Physiol»n In Hla goth Year Talks About Ola Profession and Its Att-vanees-We Shall Go Back to Calomel

and Antimony.

[New York World interview.]

“When I first began practice in Now York forty years sgo, the profession generally was noted for its men of hisrh character, personal

honor and integrity.”

“How do toe phTsiclans of to-day compare

with those of forty years ago?”

“Well, to tell the truth, I don't think the general practitioner is any more snccesaful, notwithstanding there have been so many great discoveries. Bat if these discoveries nave not resulted in any great benefit to the present generation of doctors they may very materially aid toe practitioner of the future. The medical men ol to-day are inclined to go too much, I think, upon thecry. and that is almost snre to result in occasional very great mistakes. Take pneumonia, for instance. In the old times that was not considered to be a very serious disease, but nowadays, when the disease ia treated theoretically, if a person gets pneumonia he is apt to think that his life u in great peril l can not help thinking that we have too many specialists nowadays. Formerly a doctor was supposed to treat all kinds of diseases. Now we have oculists, obstetricians, neurologists, doctors who make a specialty of diseases of the lungs and heart, and so on and so forth. This is all very well to a certain degree, but I think

it has been overdone in this country.”

“What aie some of the most important discojeries that rave been made in medical science in your time? Anaesthetic?, I sup-

pose would stand first?"

Well, the discovery of anaesthetics is cer-

'j one of the most important."

ow used you to get along in serious surgical operations before the days of antej-

tainljr one of the most important."

gio

Uietica?”

“We had not so very much trouble. If we bad to cut off a man’s leg or do any other very important surgical operation, it was our custom to give the patient a good stiff horn of whisky or brandy, which acted in the same way, only not so powerfully. We did not make the patient drank, bat did the operation while he was partly under the innuerce of alcohol By the use of ether or chloroform we have a very great advantage, to be sure, for their effects are more powerful. They put the patient in a profound state of insensibility, which enables us to operate more carefully and deliberately.. Of course it is a great comfort to the patient, as he can undergo any operation without any pain save the mental fear and anxiety. Speaking of acasthetics reminds me of the fact that I might have been the accidental discoverer of the application of ether as an anesthetic. When I was lecturing at the Pittsfield medical school it was a common custom of the students to pour sulphuric ether on their handkerchiefs and inhale it for a stimulant. Some of them used to breathe it until it had put them into the second stage of activity and excitement. If one of them had kept it up until the third stage—that of stupor and profound insensibility—had been reached we might ^perhaps hare made the discovery right “What country bos done the most toward advancing the science of medicine and surgery during the past thirty or forty years?" “If you limit it to that time I should say that the Germans have done the most. Formerly it was the French and English. When I first went to Europfe for the purpose of study I visited the principal hospitals of England and France. Gqjrmany was hardly thought of. Now, however, a medical student going to Europe would not think of returning without making observations in Germany. But not so many medical students consider it necessary to pursue their studies

into the old country as used to.”

“Why a that? Have they better facilities

at home than they used to have?

“Yes. I would not think it necessary for a medical student to go to Europe to finish his education, even if he were preparing himself as a specialist—in fact, I don’t believe that hardly any of them would go if it were not for the fact that ocean navigation is now so easy. The first time that I went it took us thirty-five days to cross the ocean. Now you step on a steamer and in eight days you are

landed on the other side.”

“But a great many American students do go jto Europe^© they not, to complete their “Cerlainly, and principally for the reason that I bat e stated, llbat they can do it with so. little trouble. But a student can learn as much here as he can in Europe. Take an oculist for example. After studyiug the whole field over in this country he may have a desire to visit similar fields iu foreign countries. He goes, and when he returns he feels satisfied; but after all be has learned nothing but what he had learned or at least

might have learned at home.”

“Why do you give toe Germans so much

credit?"

“Because they have made such great investigations in chemistry, physiology and pathology. No other people on earth as at present constituted would have done it. The German mind is peculiar. An enthusiastic German investigator is content to spend iris whole life in determining, for example, the precise dimensions, anatomy aud physiology of the root or bulb of a human hair. It coats them but little to live, and the more emine&t investigators are supported, partially at least, by the government. Theee men spend their lives in the great laboratories of Germany, and the amount of knowledge that they have contributed to the humaa race is almost incalculable.” “Do these investigators practice medicine?” “Ob, no! As 1 have said, they spend their lives either in garrets or government-sup-ported laboratories.” “How are the Germaos-as practitioners.?” “It is well known that as practitioners they have not become so distinguished. The Germans are preeminently theorists, and it is not surprising that they are so. The result is that when a German physician or surgeon comee to treat a particular case he is apt to follow the teachings of his master to the letter. This will not do, for there can hardly be found two* cases which require precisely the same treatment For this rearon toe American, who is naturally ingenious, when he comes to a ease will set to thinking on his own hook, and will devise some way to get sueceesfully through with it Take, for instance, a man who has a leg that requires to be amputated. Tlfe books tell exactly bow to do it. Bat suppose the mau has in addition some seriotb constitutional disease. Then toe circumstances are altered entirely, and what he can get from the books may not help him out of it. So, you see, the surgeon must always rely mainly upon his own knowledge and skill ’ “You have said that you believed the old practitioners excelled those of to-day in some respects?” “Yes. I believe there is too much going upon theory nowadays. We shall yet come back to calomel, antimony, and suoh things." Wrecks on the Lakes. The steamer Bertschy, bound from Saginaw to Detroit, sprung a leak off Port Austin reef, in Lake Huron, during a heavy northwest gale Wednesday night. The engine fires were put out and the steamer blown on the rock* near Grindstone City, where she now lies a total wreck. The passengers and crew, numbering forty-six persons, were all saved by the crew of the life-saving station. The steamer and cargo will prove a total loss. The steamer Avon, loaded with 26.000 bushels of wheat, 24,000 bushels of rye and a large miscellaneous cargo, went ashore off Amberstburg, Ontario, yesterday morning, and in an hour and a half filled completely. The vessel is owned by the Union steamboat company, was built in Buffalo two years ago, was 1,800 tons burden and valued at $85,000. The cargp is fully insured. It is not known that the vessel is insured, but it can be re-

What They Gained by Coaqoeat. If Alsace and Lorraine have acquired no other advantage by their annexation to Germany, they at least find their taxes lighter. They are now called upon to pay about $3.500,000 less annually than under French rule, which makes a difference of some $12 to every family. Besides this, had the two provinces continued French territory they would hare bad to pay a large part of the enormously heavy expenses entailed upon France by the war. Finally the German government has constructed expensive railroads through the new territory, which do not pay to well that private capital would have constructed them, and which the French government would not, at least for some time to come, hare been likely to build. Clay County and the Nationals. [Brazil Enterprise.] From everything that can be learned the followers of the fiat ignis fatuus have dwindled down to amazingly small numbers in this county. Twenty-five bushels of wheat to the acre and the cheering prospect of as good a corn crop as was ever raised before, together with a reduction of the revenues on whisky and tobacco, has induced them to return from their fruitless chase into the wilderness of financial heresies to enjoy the more solid comforts of a civilized policy.
