Crovor Cleveland maintained no Ananias Club. He wus not almost constantly brawling with some one or other, nor did lie shower heated alle gations of inveracity right and left. While scarcely any oilier President in our history has been more lied about and slandered, be seldom gave his as sailants the .satisfaction of knowing that they had wounded him. His later earertr suggests this Invincible forti tude of Washington. But, as with Washington, there burned beneath the steadfastly maintained exterior a man of warm blood whom righteous Wrath at traitors toward the public welfare sometimes caused to break through. The Washington Herald re calls that a certain prominent politi cian once recommended a constituent for a United States Judgeship. Mr.' Cleveland appointed him and be proved to 'be very unworthy. The politician who had made the recom mendation publicly declare, without shame that he knew of the m m s .in worthiness, but made it. ne.vrthcless. : for purposes of bis own. A lett.'r Which Mr. Cleveland addressed to this brazen Individual Is reproduced by The Herald: "Kxecutlve Mansion, "Washington. Aug "Dear Sir: and they tell harrowing "tales of tor- Itire-tables. The experimenter, him self, they say, must Inevitably become brutalized and, unfit to continue in the medical profession. Upon the crucial question whether valuable re sults are attained, the vast majority show themselves absolutely and wil fully blind to 'any unwelcome evi dence. They here reveal themselves as thorough-going sentimentalists and doctrinaires, flatly denying that facts are facts. Eminent medlcaj authori ties have prepared a long list of im mensely valuable discoveries secured to mankind throtiftu vivisection And not possibly attain i bio otherw'je discoveries which in their aggiegate mean the saving of ihousands of llvs every year and" the prevention f suffering untold. Denying this in much the same spirit as Mrs. Eddy's followers deny everything Irreconcil able with their theory, tho anti-vJvl-sectionlsts can only take refuge be hind n doctor here and there whb Is presumably either a sentimentalist himself, a half-Ignoramus, or one of those members of his profession who willingly attract notice to themselves by publicly taking Issue With practi cally all the rest. Tho valuable re sults obtained through vivisection are plain matters of record and can be questioned by no rational observer who Is at once honest with himself and with the public. ' To render de nials us transparently absurd and fu tile as possible, there comes, while the controversy la yet In progress, some highly instructive statistical matter from the New York health lo- partment. Ky the use of a treatment learned through vivisection the city's mortal ity from cerebro-splnal meningitis has been enormously reduced. During the 1 904-7 epidemic of this remarkably fatal disease the board of hualth ap pointed a commission to devise pre ventive and curative remedies. The enquirer says he is, and of course The News and Courier says it Is, too, "and so would anybody, be. rho haa kept up wilh the predatory character of the North Carolinians, and partlcu larly that claaa of North Carolinians represented by The Charlotte Obser ver. 'Claim the battle of King's Mountain? Ofourset he .will, and everything else on this side of the line that Is not nailed down." Now surely baa the Lord delivered them Into our hands. There Is no fact of history bette? established than that everything about the battle of King's Mountain except the mountain Itself was North Carolinian. North Carolina militiamen from Cleveland Rutherford, Burke Surry, Stokes and other western North Carolina coun ties, with tho help of a few squirrel hunters from east Tennessee and southwestern Virginia, fought and won It. If there were any South Car olinians In it they were among the Tories who were fighting under Fer guson against liberty an.d the nine who were hanged by our folks after tho battle may have been Of that breed for all we know. "Claim the battle oRKing's Moun tain!" Of course wo claim it; and for tho reason that the glory of It is ours Is why Representative Yates Webb, of this district, secured a con gressional appropriation for a monu ment on the spot. We do not blame t.ie South Carolina Congressmen for not having InteregteJ themselves In the matter and gotten the appropria tion; they couldn't have been expect ed to; It wasn't any of their business.

It Is seen that few which ghe time for treatment resist the new method of attack. And this re sult would have been utterly Impos sible without the Infliction of pain and death upon animals In the labora tory. We strongly sympathise m'lth the objections raised against vivisection. Th-- thought of a tortured creature writhing and groaning In its bonds Inspires us with absolute horror, nut for positive assurances tbat, thanks largely io nn it -sthe-tlcs, the lnflle-tlon of much pain If nvobb-d In nearly every e.i-ie, we should probably, ngatn.-t our reason, go with the antl- vl iHeclionlsts In our opinion the practice- should be surrounded by law Ueh every possible re-strlctletn and safeguard wherever It occurs. These precautions having been taken, vivl ee!ie,ii must e-nntinue as a necesnary eruclty single human life Is of no re va'ue than the Uvea of many vlvUi-i-tiein subjects, and one such s rifiee may be- tho' means of saving many human lives Because a dog underwent disease and death in a .nw ye.rk Jahoratory thousunds of children n!ll be spared to their par ent. We thoroughly share the senti ments animating all sincere anti-vjvlse-cii.mj-ets, but cannot lose sight of powerful restraining considera tions. The trouble with most anti vivisection is that it will not recog nize certain extremely Impeirtant fiirtsi-xist. Indeed, alrhojft as a mere state of mind. Ises, yesterday shipped to Elder Hemphill, by express, charges pre paid, both a lar&e fat hen and a Hong Kong gander, preceding them with a telegraphic advice ttiat they were happy on the wny. The News and e ourier, rererring yesterday to our generous offer of help, made the snarling remark that It supnoses that I he observer's silver and gold are "being used for f,he entertainment of the Republican convention, which Is to assemble shortly In the city of Charlotte," This is peculiarly un gracious, since ours is the first con tribution to Its campaign fund, it not having even contributed anything It self; but we are accustomed to the floiit of that paper and will still strive to please. The Industrial News, Republican, e-f ( Ircensboro, says that. with respect to the denial by Mr. Rryan of the statement that he declined to .vote for Mr. Crisp, of Georgia, for Speak er of the House because that gentle man had been a Confederate soldier, it has a telegram from Mr. Thomas K Watson, Populist candidate for tho presidency, to this effect: "Alfred Henry Lewis, who was "the Washing ton correspondent of The New York Herald In 1891 and 1892, makes the charge agaltist Mr. Ifryan In the July uumbe-r eif Human Dlfn Magazine. He also published the same charge In ISSfi. Mr. Bryan has not denied It before." The Industrial News heads this: "Mr. Watson Returns to the Charge." He does not return to the charge at all but begs the question and shoulders the "charge." of the truth of which he professed to have persona! knowledge, off on another man. If this Is the best he can do his position Is pitiable. entirely It Is a remarkakdc fact that the new 2 V, per cent.

To tho Editor of The Observer: Mr. Bryan, In commenting upon his latest nomination, stated that In case he Is elected he will not be a candidate for re-election. That Is good. However, the thing that will not down but rises continually In our minds Is the pe-rslstent Inquiry, "If M,r. Bryan Is not electeel this time, will he ugnln be a candidate?'! We would bo glad to hear from Mn Bryan on that point. ' In your Issue; of to-day the "Peer less" vhows the first symptom of that malady which would afflict him and Indirectly all America If He should be elected: the first whine about the Senato being Republican and therefore he wpuld be pmetl cally powerless. For twelve years It has been, "If only I were Presi dent." Now it Is. "If the Senate, waa not Republican." Is there no cure for this whining disease? do he power of the President is not gieat after all? Ah, that laood. UJO. Then' the timid need not fenr Bryan nor tho loyal followers be disappointed his power win "be so little. ' However, he must first be elected. X. July 14th. Col. John Temple Gravel declares that Representative Tlobson, who un dertook to hand out to the ' Denver convention his usual line of Japanese war talk,"' waa ahatnefulry treated, tie was indeed,' colonel;, but he abun dantly deserved It. The experience of President Roose velt with Mr. Samuel Gompera would also go to show the frequent futility of muchlng.
