Recent discoveries have demonsi rated that II the organs of the body are under the conco! of the nerve centers, located in or near he base of the brain, and that when these are aranged the organs which they supply with ■rve fluid are also deranged. When it is renumbered that a serious injury to the spinal >r.l wilt cause paralysis of the body below ne Injured oolnt, because the nerve force is u-evented by the injury from reaching the iralyzed portion, it will be understood how ie derangement of the nerve centers will iu.se the derangement of the various organs liich they supply with nerve force. Two-thirds of chronic diseases are due •ie Imperfect action ©f the nerve centers at ie base of the brain, not from a derangement primarily originating In the organ 11•if. The great mistake of physicians in renting these diseases Is that they treat the rgan rather than the nerve centers which -• the cause of the trouble. Dn.

Correspondence.

FROM WASHINGTON. An Interesting Batch of Newt From the Capitol. From our Regular Correspondent. Washington, Oct. 26, 1894. The leaders of the republican ad democratic parties must be irongly impressed with the -trength of the claim made by me populists, that they will hold lie balance of power in the next louse, if it be true that they ave held conferences to devise way to prevent the populists mtroliing the organization of ie House even if they do elect inough members to give them me balance of power. Accordg to my information an agreenent was reached at the last conference, on the following

)isis: If the republicanselect tore members than the demo-i-ats, but not enough to organize .he House without the assistance o the populists, the democrats are to furnish enough votes for tie candidate nominated for S eaker by the republican c ucus to elect, him, and in return are to receive certain specified extra committee a-signments, and if the democratselect more members than the republicans, but not enough to organize the House without the aid of populists, the republicans are to furnish enough votes to elect the democratic candidate for Speaker and to get in return extra committee assignments. The populists say they would ask nothing better than to see this programme carried out t< the letter. They say it wouk make them voters by convincing the people that their claim that there is no real difference between the old parties wasuus

Chairman Taubeneck, of the populist national committee, has stirred up the politicians by the ,s nement that the populists will elect Senators in Colorad>, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Kansas, South Carolina, Was!) ington and two southern state: which he declines to name at this time, and that they will be strong enough in the California and Illinois legislatures to die tate the successors to Senators Perkins and Cullom. He figures on at least 12 new populist Senators.

Secretary Hoke Smith knows more about the relations of the military to the civil branch of the government than he did a few days ago. When Secretary, Smith received a communication from the Indian Territory setting forth the deplorable condition of affairs, owing to the inability of the officials to suppress the lawless bands of ruffians, Ije sent it to the War department with the request to send enough U. S. troops into the territory to suppress lawlessness, and doubtless dismissed the matter from his mind under the impression that the nearest troops Would be at once ordered by telegraph to proceed to the locality in which the trouble exists. He knew better the next day; Assistant Secretary Doe, who was in charge of the War department when Secretary 1 Smith’s communication was received, referred the papers to General Schofield, the commander of the army, who returned them with the suggestion that the request for the aid of troops be maturely considered, with a view to ascertaining the legality of the proposed action, thus implying his own doubt. Assistant Secretary Doe, is accused of having a bad case of “big head,” but it is creditable to his judgment that he did not attempt to decide this question off-hand, but referred it to older and more experienced heads. Meanwhile Secretary Smih’s request remains unacted upon. • • • If ex-President Harrison is wise he will make at least one

speech in New York for his old running mate. His declining to do so has already revived among republicans, who do not like the ex-President overmuch, the gossip which followed the Minneapolis convention of '92, connecting him with the deal that shelved Mr. Morton and made Whitlaw Reid the candidate for Vice President. If he persists in declining to speak for Mr. Morton he will be certain to hear more about that gossip oetween now and the meeting of the national convention of his party in 1896, no matter who may be elected governor of New York this year. No Presidential candidate can afford to even appear to sulk.

Somebody made an error in announcing last week that all army officers acting as Indian agents were to be supplanted by civilians, or else the administration has in deference to public opinion changed its policy very suddenly, as an army officer was this week detailed to act as Indian agent at an agency that has had a civilian agent, and it is hinted in official circles that no more civilians are to be appointed, but that army officers Are to be detailed as fast as vacancies occur atiiohg thh Civilian agents. Some funny things happen in Washington; but they cannot always be told by a correspondent, unless he is willing to close some of his sources of valuable information relating to contemplated official acts.

Indiana University Notes.

President and Mrs. Swain rave lately returned from a two weeks’ visit to Ann Arbor, Chi'■•ago. Wisconsin and Illinois universities. The LaFayette and Terre Haute papers are up in arms to oppose the removal of Indiana University to Indianapolis. They seem to think the real estate men of Indianapolis aieatthe head of the movement, and that the whole scheme is to finally consolidate, at Indianapolis, the State University. Purdue University and the State Normal School. It is evident that if the removal is ever effected, it will be in the face of strong opposition from at least three sources. The classes in American, political and constitutional history held a political conference on Thursday evening, Oct. 25. Four students delivered ten minute speeches in which they set forth the relative principles and merits of the four political parlies of the day. E’ich speaker gave reasons for adhering to the party of his choice. It was interesting to observe what varying conclusions were drawn from the study of the same historical facis. It must not be understood, however, that a study of the same facts have alone influenced the various conclusions drawn. A student’s past training determines, in a great measure, what views he will take when he tries to understand presentconditions. The discussion was not therefore a tenor of instruction given in the departments of history and economics. These departments do not aim to influence a student towards any one party, nor away from ex’sting parties. Their aim is to study conditions, past and present, and discover what better conditions should be brought about, leaving the student to decide what party affords the best means to the production of good results. The following report of Indiana University has just been mailed to the New York World, for insertion in that paper’s statistical almanac: Nunber of instructors, 48; number of students, 609; number of volumes in library, 20,000; number of graduates since organization, 1,179; number of alumni living, 1,009; oldest living graduate, M. M. Campbell, class of ’36. The football season is now in full blast, The I. U. club has

played and lost two games so far. The first game was played with the Louisville Athletic Club. L. A. C. won by a score of 2 to 0. The second game was played with DePauw Saturday, Oct. 18. I. U. was again worsted by a score of 20 to 10. While I. U. lolds the base ball college championship, she has never gained any honors on the football field. Last Saturday a party of nine students took a tramp to Fruit's cave about five miles west of Bloomington. The cave is an interesting sight, and all report a good time. Ray Thompson was one of the party. Prof. E. W. Rettger, Who was principal of the Rennselaer highschool last year, is now living in Bloomington with his mother and sister. Mr. Rettger holds the position of instructor in mathematics at the university.
