tration, and the solution depends
more on the general principles Of
political condEct than any pre-
Mously proclaimed method Of ap-
plication.
The journal of Commerce has,
however, a shorter solution OF the
difficulty. 1t traces all the embar-
rassments of the subject to the
original fault Of CONGRESS- in au-
thorizing universal repudiation of
contracts by the legal tender law:
a law which is itself a violation of
the constitution. To end the whole
3" "heresy" of insisting on the pay
ment of the public debt In curren-
cy, the Journal wants the legal
tender act brought to the iudg-
ment of the Supreme Court of the
United States and declared invalid.
Specie payment would be thus re-
sumed instantly; but although the
ultimate good would be decidedly
great, it may be well doubted
whether the remedy would not be
too sudden and too severe. @"
The talk about repudiation upon
the greenback theory is about
over, and public men viii begin to
address themselves to the question
how to adjust the finances on that
basis with the least shock and the
least iniusice.-N 0. Picay1aae,

C EThe Hour of Death "a Sci
r entifiC Investigation.

In Mr.. John Timbs's e Notable.
Things of Our Own Time" are
some accounts of the curiosities of
scientific investigation - among
them the following concerning the
hour of death:
The subject of the hour of
death, (says Mr.. Haviland, an emi-
-nent- surgeon, in a paper read to
the British Association, has oocu-
pied the attention of medical wri-
ters from the time of Actius, who
fiourished at tho court of Constan-
tinople in the fifth century, up to
the present date, but no practical
fruit has been the result for the
physician in his treatment of dis
ease. He concluded that the time
had now arrived for a thorough
investigation of the facts IN our
possession, inasmuch as if there
be any latent truth in them of inn
portance to mankind, it is our sim
pie duty to evoke that truth, and
avail ourselves of its teachings in
the practice of medicine, He re-
marked that the physicians duties
do not cease when he has ascer-
tanned the disease of his patient,
and prescribed medicine to re-
move it; by medicine alone the pa
tient is not healed, he has to act
upon the ady6ce of Hippocrates,
and see that those In attendance
do their duty also, and in his alb
senoe watch every phase and act
in the living patient. But, to so
direct, the physician must know
each cause Of change and by his
knowledge anticipate what may
occur: lay down siraple rules for
the guidance of friends and nurses,
and teach them how to watch each
circumstance of disease; he must
know the changefulness OF our
bodies in health he must take due
account Of this changefulness when
illness superyenes he must know
when all our vital functions are at
their height; he must know when
they are at their lowest ebb, for
this knowledge is a most necessary
element Of success in his combat
with the enemy he is implored to
encounter. OF late years the art
Of nursing has more than ever oC-
oupied tho thoughts Of physicians

and at home to soothe the anguish
of the wounded and diseased.
The author had collected over
5000 cases Of death, with the hour
OF death, and other circumstances
recorded, which he had tabulated,
and exhibited on large chart, the
difficult collections being distin-
guished by colored diagrams. By
this chart he showed that In 1000
cases of death IN children under
five years of age the periods of the
greatest mortality took place be-
tween the hours of one and eight
A. H.; that an extraordinary depres-
sions K place In the succeeding
hours between nine and twelve r.
NJ, and that the ratio OF mortality
was ut its minimum. He then COM
pared these statistics with 1891
deaths from all causes and the
chart showed how remarkably the
wave lines of death compared with
those above. He then compared
these diagrams with deaths from
consumption, which, though they
showed a general resemblance In
the wave line, yet between the
hours of four to eight A. M., there
was depression when compared
with the first four hours period.
He showed that small numbers sre
not sufficient for statistical truth,
and he therefore urged upon his
provincial brethren to assist him
In this work by forwarding to HIM
data for further investigation of
this interesting subject.
" He contended that the tables
on the chart proved the extraordi-
nary mortality In the early hours
of the morning, when the powers
of life were at their lowest ebb,
and strange to say when the pa
tient was most cared Tor. He urged
the necessity for feeding and slim
ulating the patients at their weak
est hour, so as to tide them over a
critical period and, even if death
be inevitable, to support the pa
tient that he might at least have a
few hours more of life snatched
from eternity to admit of his being
able to carry out some neglected
duty, pardon some enemy, or see
some beloved friend. He next
urged upon his professional breth-
rem the Importance of teaching
friends. and nurses how 10 attend
to those under their charge. He
concluded by saying that the sub
iect itself required no apology for
its introduction to the association,
however much the mode of his
treating it might. He felt con-
vinced that it was one which had
occupied the attention of many of
his hearers when they had been
watching hour by hour the fitful
changes of disease IN the persons
Of those dear to them, or OF those
to whom, as nurses, they had de-
sired conscientiously to do their
duty. To simplify this duty and
to calm this solicitude, at d time
when either an excess Of the one
or an ignorant neglect of the other
might be fatal, was one OF the
main objects Of this investigation /;
and he felt convinced, however i'm
perfectly he might have expressed
his opinions on the subject, that it
is one of deep interest, not only to
his profession, but 10 the Commu-
nifty at large"
The weekly echo. [volume] (Lake Charles, Parish of Calcasieu, La.) 1868-1876, 1868-07-25
The GreeaBaOk Theory.

Il
among the journals which have
been most strenuous In insisting
on the redemption of the 5-2Os
In gold, but is troubled at the
paragraph in the Democratic
platform which recognizes the
doctrine that these bonds may be
redeemed IN greenbacks. 1t falls
into the can't form of attack for
the doctrine, by saying this is the
"open repudiation of a solemn
obligation" ~.#. -.-.s
If it be a "solemn obligation"
it must be expressed somewhere
in the law, or found by legal CON
struction. If it be there, the
platform recognizes it, for Govern
ment obligations are therein ex-
pressly declared to be redeemable
in legal currency only, when the
bond on it's face or the law does
not stipulate that it shall be paid in
coin. If there be no contract, it is
absurd to describe a literal fulfill
ment as repudiation, because it
does not conform to an opinion of
what ought to have been provided,
but was not. ........... .... , ~.
Setting aside the want of fairness
in this estimate of the effect of the
provision, the journal has, how
ever, a very clear idea of the po-
itical bearings of the Democratic
resolution. 1t abandons the hope
that either party viii maintain the
theory of the gold redemption. 1t
complains, indeed that " there is
no guarantee from either party
that the geenback theory will not
be enforced upon the first convent
emit oppefttaHiit5 ;, That is SC, The
utterings of the Democratic plat
form are clear and unmistakable /;
those of the Chicago platform are
wavering and doubtful /; but they
have received the Interpretation of
large controlling Sotes in the
House of Representatives and
now Sherman and Morton, of the
first rank of Radical Senators, are
supporting the same doctrine In
the Senate. 81 ..aa "a
There is no point left for oontro-
versy between the two political
parties on this head. The green
back theory is so fully established,
that no Congress can be elected
which does not recognize it In full /;
and neither candidate for the
Presidency win oppose the apph-
cation of it, when the condition of
the country and of the currency
makes the opportunity.
The talk about Reputation may
therefore be stopped; for nobody
proposes to repudiate any asoer-
tained debt, and the use of the
ugly word to describe an opera
ton which is so evidently legal
and so generally believed to be
fair, may familiarize the unthink-
ing with dangerous processes,
which might ba properly called
repudiation.
The salient points about the
Democratic platform are, that it
plainly excludes the idea Of any
expansion of the currency for the
purpose Of making legal tender,
which to exchange for bonds, and
its evident expectation that the
euualizing of taxation and the re-
duction Of expenditures under q
Democratic administration will
bring up the value Of greenbaoks,
80 that before the bonds become
due the difference between them
and greenbaoks viii be nominal
