A DEMOCRATIC CRITIC.
At a recent dinner of democratic clubs
in Baltimore, President Ingalls, of the
Chesapeake & Ohio railroad, responded
la the toast, "The Democratic Platform
of 1892." Hia speech throughout was a
caustic criticism of the party for failing
to do what was expected of it.
Your committee requested me to re
spond to the sentiment of "The Chicago
Platform of 1892." That platform con
tains much matter, much more than I
would want to take up in an after-dinner
speech, so I propose to confine myself to
the following words from the third sec-,
tion of that platform :
"We declare it to be a fundamental
principle of the democratic party that
the federal government baa no constitu
tional power to impose and collect tariff
duties except for the purpose of revenue
only.'
This is the meat of what is known as
the "tariff resolution." This was passed
in the summer of 1892, when business
was good, everybody prosperous, and
the government had plenty of revenue.
Whether, on account of the disturbance
of buainesa affairs and the depression
that has arisen since the meeting of that
convention, it would have passed the
same resolutions now, is a question.
This is for our leaders to consider.
Now, what is the duty of the demo
cratic party in' such a state of affairs?
Instead of obeying the mandate of the
people, they propose to try a little ex
periment of their own and imitate Mc
Kinley. Was ever such folly? The
gentleman who fathers this measure,
whose name is given to it, is a distin
guished member of congress, coming
from a little village up in the mountains
of the state of West Virginia. He has
had a large experience as a college pro
fessor and as a country lawyer and as a
member of congress. He is a student of
the doctrine of free trade, and well edu
cated as a theorist. By some chance he
is made chairman of the committee on
waya and means, and is put astride of
the commerce of this country, and pur;
posea to demonstrate hia theories, al
though in so doing he may wreck the
country and his party. ,'
Politically I am against this bill, for
just as sure as you place coal and iron
ore upon the free list, so sure will Vir
ginia and West Virginia leave the demo
cratic column at the next election. - Tell
me, where are you to get the electoral
votes to take their place? Can you pla
cate mugwumps enough in New Eng
land to give you the votes there that
tou lose in the South? What instifica-
tion is there for free coal? None, ex
' cept that the books say that raw mate
rial should be free, and this committee,
-. with no business experience, but wed
ded to their theories, have classed coal
w a &avT uiatciiai. wucid BVKrv um M. I.
the mouth of the pit represents 90 per
cent Of labor and 10 per cent of material,
and when it comes in competition 'With
foreign coal in New England it repre
sents 96 per cent of labor and 4 per cent
of raw material. It would seem to me
that if you wished protection for labor,
here was a better chance for it than any
' where else. .Who asks for free coal?
The people? No; no one except a few
New England and New York specula
tors who rushed into Nova Scotia the
week after the election, when they
thought they could establish free trade,
and bought everything that could be

. COURAGE IN SURGERY.
Wny Experienced Practltlooei
An Cool
WhUs Operating ,
An old surgeon, engaged for the mo
ment in dissecting a cold roast quail,
and making-, it must be confessed, only
n indifferent job of . it, had been lis
tening incidentally to the conversation
of his table companions who were dis
cussing the calmness and nerve dis
played by the average practitioner dur
ing surgical operations, ;says the New
York Herald. Both agreed that the
poise and coolness shown by surgeons
at times were extraordinary and hard
to -understand. '
"Now, friends, if you will permit
me," interrupted the surgeon at this
point, "I would like to tell you that
there is nothing extraordinary about
it The 'nerve,', as you call it, of the
surgeon under such circumstances is
the most natural thing in the world.
It is not a display of calmness which
has been put on for that occasion, or
an exhibition of courage summoned up
for an unusual emergency, but simply
the normal demeanor of a practical,
matter-of-fact man who knows what
he has to do and how he is going to do
it. '
"The trouble with many peoplewho
marvel at what they call a? surgeon's
courage is that they fail utterly to
comprehend the conditions under
which he performs his work. They
imagine that he is experimenting, or
that he doesn't know his ground, or
that he will cut something that he
ought not to cut. Nothing could be
further from the facts. No movement
in science or mechanics is preceded by
a more accurate foreknowledge of its
results than the average operation in
surgery. There is no such thing as
guesswork about it. The ' operator
knows he is performing an operation
which is based upon an exact science.
He follows rules which apply to all
cases, and is secure in the confidence
that causes which have produced cer
tain effects in given instances will do
so in all others.
"Why, then, should there be any
need in his work for extraordinary
courage? There are cases, of course,
so critical or so unusual as to excite
even the calmest and - most self-contained
operator, and when these are
under treatment the surgeon's powers
of self-control are frequently taxed to
their utmost limit. To the man who,
in such a case, can wield the knife
without a tremor, when life itself de
pends upon the accuracy and delicacy
of his touch, we must award the praise
due to real heroes. ' But in the aver
age case, say of amputation or of skull
fracture involving cranial operations,
the surgeon neither needs nor possesses
more than the courage' of an intelli
gent, sincere man, who knows his duty
and has learned how" to perform it.
His technical knowledge of anatomy
and its methodical habit of work ac
custom him to conditions which alarm
and excite non-professional minds, and
he goes about his task with a certain
quiet, vigorous, assertive confidence in
the result of his movements which the'
observer is quite likely to mistake for
a marvelous courage summoned up for
that particular occasion. It is courage
of a certain sort, I confess the cour
age of absolute confidence in the in
fallibility of the science he repre
sents." - ' ' -
ALI-BEN-ALI, THE COBBLER.
How He Lost His Wives and His Faith at
the Same Time.
Ali-Ben-Ali was and is a renegade.
He believes in three gods, and drinks
spirits of ivine, corn and rye. lie also
believes that women have souls and
that, while there are many houris in
heaven, there are more in hell. When
the muezzin calls to prayer he puts his
thumb to his nose and spreads his fin
gers out, which is his Turkish way of
expressing derision. Once upon a time
he owned seven slaves, -four of whom
were white. Great men were his
friends. Now he cobbles shoes, says
Vance Thompson in the New York Ad
vertiser. -
He might have been a happy man to
this day had it . not been for that devil
of an Alcibiades. Ali-ben-Ali was sit
ting on his feet, looking through the
open door out on the blue waters of
the Bosporus and the low sandv
shore beyond when the Greek came up.
He was a low-browed Greek. '"He was
peddling slippers with long red points
which curled over like rams' horns.
Ali was absorbed in thuaking of his
"seven female slaves. He kicked the
Greek in the back violently two or
three times, but otherwise ignored his
presence.
The subtle Greek departed. Under
his low brow he devised this revenge.
He wrote a letter to the sultan.
"We'll see about this," said the sul
tan. "Mesrour, off with Ben Ali's
head and bring me his seven nice
wives."
Mesrour returned in half an hour, the
seven slaves, of whom four were white,
trailing after him.
"Ben Ali is dead," he said.
Mesrour lied. Ben Ali, by bribes,
had secured ' his escape and, disguised
as a bale of tobacco, was stored away
in a hold of a vessel bound for New
York. He is in New York now to prove
that this tale is no lie. He cobbles
shoes. - At times he" drinks strong
spirits. Then he curses the com
mander of the faithful and Alcibiades,
the low-browed Greek. The sultan is
a Mphammedan, and him Ben Ali
curses; the Greek is a Christian and is
cursed of Ben Ali. ..
In tbe Austrian Army.
??he polyglot character of the Aus
trian army was abundantly shown the
other day when the ancient custom of
solemnly swearing in the recruits in
the presence of the troops was revived,
after having been discontinued since
1868.. In Vienna' alone the formula of
oath to the colors had to be adminis
tered and read out in nine languages,
to-wit: German, Hungarian, Croatian,
Bohemian, Polish," Ruthenian, Rou
manian, Servian 'and Turkish, while
the religious part of the ceremony was
conducted by Roman Catholic, Greek
Catholic and Gree,k orthodox priests,
Protestant pastors, Jewish rabbis and
Mahometan ulema.
ftUNG IN A COLD DECK.
How m Gambler in Mexico Swindled a Nsr
. tlv Monte JDeaier..
' "The coolest gamblers on earth are
the Mexicans," said a traveler from the
land of the tamala to a writer for the
Washington ' Post. "Win or lose, they
never display the slightest chagrin or
joy. They won't raise a row, as our
American gamblers do when they are
beaten. I was sitting one evening at
the monte table in the great gambling
resort of Mexico, situated in a suburb
of the City of Mexico. There were two
Americans whom I had seen around
the table on several occasions. One
was a railroad man and the other was
the most expert short-card manipula
tor I ever saw. They played for very
small stakes for several days. Then
one day the railroad man came in, sat
down and began' to play. The short
card man followed him in about half
an hour and "took a seat five or six
chairs away. I saw him take a large
silk handkerchief from his pocket and
spread it over his knees. '. In Mexican
monte the dealer allows each player to
cut the cards when he makes a bet. The
short-card man brought with him a
deck of cards exactly similar to those
used in the game. Fact is, the backs
of these cards are all alike. When he
was given the cards to icut he substi
tuted another pack on the top of which
was a card, a king, which would make
him win. He had put down eighteen
hundred dollars on the king on the
. board. He cut, the dealer turned and
of course he won. The pack that the
dealer had handed him to cut lay in the
silk .handkerchief spread over his
knees. He gathered the handkerchief
together, put it in .his pocket, took his
thirty-six hundred ' dollars and left.
His confederate played on for a few
minutes, making small bets, and then
cashed n. As he turned to go the
dealer, who knew he had been robbed
but could not quite comprehend how
it had been done, said very quietly:
" 'Very well done, signor.
"An American gambler would have
raised a row and pulled his gun and de
manded his( money. They watch Amer
icans very cioseiy in tnat game now.
A CLEAR CASE OF BUNCO.
Artifice Adopted Successfully by a Negro
Beggar of Panama. ,
1 had just started from the hotel
toward the market place, when I
noticed an elderly darky, standing on
the opposite side of the street, looking
from one to another of the people go
ing in and out of the various entrances
to the hotel. The moment ; his eyes
caught mine his face lighted up, and
with outstretchedTiancl and a smile he
came hurrying across the way, eays a
correspondent of the New York Sun.
"Fo' de Lawd, boss, I'se glad to see
you. I'se been loo kin' for you all this
mawnin'."
There was no refusing such a cor
dial greeting. I shook hands and said:
"Looking for me? I don't know you.
How did you happen to be looking for
me?" . '.''''
"How come I look for you? I'se
gwine tell you. 'Co'rse you don't
know me. I'se gwine tell you 'bout
dat, too. I'se been waitin' fo' you be
cause I ain't had er mouthful o' coffee
dis blessed mawnin'. I'se on de beach
an' I'd jess like ter borry a dime."
' It was a clear case of Panama bunco,
but there was such a happy expression
on his face he so thoroughly enjoyed
his little game and he worked -. it so
well that there was no refusing him.
Besides he is the most artistic mem
ber of a great gang of peculiar negro
beggars to be found on the streets of
Panama. They are, without excep
tion, from the islands ruled by the
British in the West Indies, and they
beg only of English-speaking stran
gers. On every corner and on several
blocks between corners, while walking
to the market, I met negro men. With
out exception they bowed" and touched
their hats and said: lgpod maWnin',
boss. I'se on de beach, sah. A dime,
sah, if yo' please." "On the beach" is
equivalent to the American "on his
uppers," or "aead broke.

A Racking Cough
Cured by Ayer's Cherry Pectoral.
Mrs. P. D. Hall, 217 Genessee St.,
Lockport, N, Y., says :
" Over (thirty years ago, I remember
hearing my father describe the wonder
ful curative effects of Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral. During a recent attack of La
Grippe, which assumed the form of a
catarrh, soreness of the lungs, accom
panied by an aggravating cough, I
used various remedies and prescriptions.
While some of these medicines partially
alleviated the coughing during the day,
none of them afforded me any relief from
that spasmodic action of the lungs which
would seize me the moment I attempted
to lie down at night. After ten or twelve
such nights, I was
Nearly in Despair.
and had about decided to sit up all night
in my easy chair, and procure what
sleep I could in that way. It then oc
curred to me that I had a bottle of
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. -1 took a
spoonful of this preparation in a little
water, and was able to lie down without
coughing. In a few moments, I fell
asleep, and awoke in the morning
greatly refreshed and feeling much
better. I took a teaspoonful of the Pec
toral every night for a week, then grad
ually decreased the dose, and in two ,
weeks my cough was cured."
