Salt and Coal.

The United States Senate has recommitted
the tariff amendments Of Senator Sherman and
committed itself to old fogy tariff notions.
This is partly because Of the antagonism Of
many Senators to Senator Trumbull and others
Of the revenue reform party, who appear
to be the leaders in opposing the delay policy
of the Finance Committee, and are also looked
upon as inimical to the administration. The
significance of the vote, therefore, really re-
lates more TO Grant than to the tarif. VIII
the Senate please to recollect that the people,
through their representatives, have voted to
remove the duty from salt and coal-two Of
the prime necessities of life2 And will It also
bear in mind that chartered corporations
are absorbing the coal lands Of the country

trail railroads and the Delaware and Hudson
Canal Company are buying up all the anthra-
cite coal lands Of Pennsylvania. The monster
monopoly Is throwing Its coils around
this branch of industry and production,
and the United States Senate Is playing
directly into the nav Of the monster by keep
ing any duty on coal, an article which, Of all
others, should be legislated to the lowest pos
sibIe cost, regardless of but one rule, ''the
greatest relief to the greatest number"

Increase Of Smallpox.

The report of the meeting Of the Board Of
Health, which we publish elsewhere, together
with the Sanitary Inspectors report on the
question of the terrible malady In our
midst, will bring to the public the
necessity incumbent on them of using every
known precaution to prevent Its further
spread. The cases of smallpox In this city
have increased in the past week from sixty
eight to eighty three and the dispersion Of the
localities in which they have occurred
show that they are confined to no
one section. The house-to-house visitation
for the purpose of vaccinating is progressing,
and it is stated that, owing to ignorance and
stupid prejudice, the lower classes Of Ger
mans are almost the only ones refusing to
be vaccinated. 1t Is well to observe on this
point that among these misguided people the
disease is making the most marked ravages.
We call special attention, therefore, to the
precautions laid down to be taken, and as q
measure Of good to the whole community the
heads of families should see that they are
adopted. ,.l, 90 raurot p lr t~.fifc'r
The condition of the Smallpox Hospital is
said TO be most deplorable, and utterly
incapable Of accommodating the sufferers.
This must be seen to at once.
The contagion seems to have taken root
all over the civilized world, and 1t is
only by great vigilance that We can escape
worse horrors than we now endure. The
street cars, in their present filthy state, are
denounced as perfect breeding grounds Of the
disease. If the greedy corporations who con.
troll them will not see that they are cleansed
and purified the law should take the matter
in its own hands.

All these results have been arrived at without
any aid or Inspiration from Mr., Greeley.

An EXTRA SESSION OF THE LEGlsLLrURE
WANTpn

Il Is understood that the Legislature of the
District will soon be called into extra session
for two fold purposei tho FIRST 10 assist the
Board of Health in It's efforts to prevent
the spread Of smallpox Ia the District, and,
second, to consider the code Of laws just fln-
ished by the commission appointed for the
purpose. We hope the statement may be
true, as It seems to rs that Governor Cooke
will be but simply doing his duty by issuing
bis proclamation for an extra session. The
Board Of Health have clearly demonstrated
that, properly supported, 1t Is fully COM
potent to stay the progress of the epidemic
now In our midst; but to do II It must have
the proper authority and the means. The
Legislature alone can grant this, therefore
an opportunity should be given that body to
act.
Again. special session is necessary to al.
low time to consider and act upon the code
Of laws, prepared at an expense Of Els 600.
This code has been approved by the Supreme
Court Of the District, but Is inactive until
passed upon by the Legislature first; then
Congress. 1t will have to he passed by the
Legislature rs a law, aud under the organic
act must he read three several days. Its ca
tremo length will render Its reading work
Of much time; then, Of course, II Is open TO
amendment which may be offered, and tine
must elapse before its final passage All this
must be done before the code gets to Congress
for final disposition.
The National Legislature Is slow to act,
aud US the coming session expires on tue 4th
Of March II would seem that the District au-
thorilcs should have the code perfected, in
readiness to present 1t at the commencement
of the session, else the probabilities are that
II will be left over until the first session Of
the FOrty-thlrd Congress, which will not
commence until December, 1873; and Of
course the laws, as prepared and approved,
must remain imperative until then, leaving
the District its present meagre laws for a
year or two longer. In view Of the facts
stated au extra session seems necessary at

The full official returns from oil but four
counties Of the late election In Pennsylvania
show the following result For Hartranit
$50 i25; for Buckalew, 3o3, 90; majority for
Hartranit, IS, 80. 1t Is estimated that the
total vote will reach GO OlO when the four
counties are heard from, but the majority
will not vary much from the figures above
given. In October, 1888, Hartrauits majority
for Auditor General was only 0,G77. In the
following November contest Gen. Grants
majority was Is, sos. According to this ratio
1t Is safe to say that Gen. Grants majority
