EDITORIAL NOTES.

Captain Jack, Boston Charley,
Black jim and Schonchin paid the
penalty OF their murderous treachery
last Friday at which time they were
hanged at Jacksonville, Oregon.
Two others, Slatuck aud Broncho,
had been sentenced to death, bnt
their sentence was committed on the
ground that they were merely the
instruments Of their chief. About
500 Klamath Indians witnessed the
scene, and if the execution OF these
served a good purpose.
A recent official statement OF the
greenbacks slows that there are now
outstanding almost $40S. 100000, aud
| Of National bank notes $685..
000, 00c, making the entire volume OF
currency s736 100000. This amount
of money, nut to legitimate and pro-
per uses, is abundant to supply all
the business wants OF the country,
and any increase in the circulating
medium would not 80 much relieve
trade, as il would stimulate stock
gambling, and the construction of
raill Dads that are not now needed, IS
only about fixed amount OF curren.
cy can be kept within the legitimate
channels of trade. A reinsurance OF
s44, 900, 900 reserve. or any portion
thereof, can hardly be conside. ed to
the best interests of the country at
this time.
The State Register Of 3Oth Sept.

the latter OF the railway postal SER

canses- or greatly promotes fermentation?
The Amsterdam (Holland) Water Company
employed Prof. Medlock to auslyzs the
water furnished the city through iron plpss.
BE did SO, and examined the deposit
from the water both microscopic
ally and chemically with this result
On burning the preeipitate it was nearly alI
consumed, showing plainly that it was not
mineral, but organic matter. "Bsfore ig-
milton, under The microscope, the deposit
was seen to consist of plants in various
stages Of decay; many of the fbres had
even retained perfectly organized struc-
ture." Bad smelling, and often bad tasting
water, of which most persons have seen
samples, has its offensive elements from
de,aying organic substances. Prof. Med
lock found that iron water-pipes favor the
precipitation of these organic and decaying
matters, and thereby purify rather than
injure water. for culinary purposes.
Our Object is only to show the presence of
Invisible plants in clear running water, not
10 say that these plants are either edible or
poisonous mushrooms, on a microscopic
scale. The three persons who died in few
hours at Midway in this ate from drink
ing clear spring bIanch water in which the
clothing of cholera patients had been placed
TO soak, undoubtedly swallowed the living
germs of cholera. The doe ors of medi-
cine who refuse to recognize the existence
of these vial germs stand on the same
ground that the doctors of divinity in
Rome stood when they imprisoned Calico
because his improved astronomical instru-
ments and observations told him that the
earth moved round the iun onca In year,
and reyolved on its AXIS in "a hours.
1t is an instructive fact that doctors of law,
divinity and medicine are powerful in put
ting down the brakes and holding back
against al. educational progress. 1t is al
lowable for babes to grow up, become old
people, and die a natural death; but it is
not equally proper to permit the infant
ideas Of past ages and past decades, to die
with the brains that conceived them. Error
deserves Immortality among mankind;
therefore medical science must not advance,
nor the vitality of cholera be admitted by
writer's on the disease. They must resist
all progress, put out the light of the tele-
scope ard microscope, and spend human
life in the darkness of the Kentucky Nam
moth Cave, where fish lose not only their
eyesight but their eyes.

ssBREAKERS AHEAD"

The Boston Advertiser is an old and
trusted organ of the Republican party. But
IL sees ''breskers ahead" and declares that
"the condition of the Republican party is
not matter of congratulations" that ''those
who are in Office may imagine that every
thing is prosperous, but the great body of
thoughtful men watching the signs of the
times are not hopeful, and those whose
conduct of public affairs should inspire con-
idence are letting things drift toward the
bad with recklessness that is iucompre-
hensible" The Advertiser adds:
"When party becomes an organization
of ofice-holders, and is held together by the
profits of its administration of public affairs
it is near its end. To that condition the
Republican party is tending, and the self
compiacent gentlemen who hold its places
of honor may thank themselves for the ruin
they are diligently inviting and doing moth
ing TO prevent. We mean the gentlemen
Of the Presidents Cabinet, the members f
the Senate and House of Representatives,
and the army of thrifty GUS om-house,
Revenue, and Post office officials, who think
they serve the country BY keeping thsm-
selves warm. We venture to say
the spectacle of the Collector, Postmaster
and Marshal leagued together, and exerting
all the patronage of their Offices and using
the time which belongs to the public SER
vice to force upon q party candidate OBJ
noxious TO the majority, was never before
seen in the Bay State. 1t is an invasion of
the independence of the people of the State
-heinous and intolerable."
The Advertiser declares in most mphat-
ic terms that the people of Massachusetts,
twill not submit TO the management of
their local affairs by national officials" for
the reason that "nothing is more periious
to the liberty of the citizen, nothing more
certain to undermine the structure of our
institutions" The AdUertiSer finds it's
not agreeable 10 have the Federal Admins
tration meddling with State politics, and
through its brigade of collectors, assessors,
postmasters and other office holders
endeavoring to control conven-
tlons and dictate nominations for
State Offices. The Cincinnati Com
nerciaL says: As long as this intervention
in State affairs was confined to such States
as North Carolina, Louisiana and Arkansas
the Aduertiser looked on approvingly. 1t
was done in the name and for the good Of
the great Republican party; but when the
practice is applied to Massachusetts to Sc
cure the nomination of Butler-the favorite
of The President for his valuable services in
engineering The back pay salary bill through
Congress-it is not so entertaining, and the
Adcertiser becomes recalcltrant, and enters
protest against general orders from Wash |
ington or Long Branch.

Col. KERR still keeps in the lead as the
Anti-fundirg candidate for Governor. LII a
late number of the AUalaache we find the
following: ..-.
"The Tennessee Baptist, in its last issue,
in copying the advocacy ~ country COZ
temporary of Hon. john S. Kerr, SIS suit
85e candidate for Governor, speaks in
terms of the highest praise of his claims.
The compliment is deserved one. The
Baptist editorislly says: Col. Kerr has
our cordial endorsement. His high quail
tiles of intellect and his moral worth out
eide Of bis politics eutitle him TO any posi-
ticn TO which he may be called.'"

THE cariosities of tax alton are great.
A discussion in the New York Board Of
Assessors discloses the fact that real estate
IN New York City is assessed at so per cent.
of its nominal value, while farm property
is assessed at 60 to 10 per cent. of its gold
value. The law requires property to be as
sessed at its full value, but this is disregard
ed by Assessors.

IT is spprehended tnat this years tobac-
co crop in Connecticut win not be up to the
average. The leaves, which have lately
been growing well, are in many localities
spotted and of poor quality. In the farms

some very severe storms lately, and the
damage done to the crop by one storm is
set at 100000.

THE Mckenzie lanes propOunds various

queries and enters protest:
"Is a murder committed in New York Of
greater importance to the people of The
South than one committed in Tennessee,
or nearer home? Are either of half the
importance of thousand other subjects
we might mention? In what way do The
disgusting details Of crime act TO imp owe
our country or benefit the people? Is crime
any the less INDUCED in because it is pa
raded to the world? On the contrary, does
it not throw sort Of semi-Eeroic sir around
those who figure in its high carnival? We
protest against newspapers giving up So
much Of their space to the Stokes, to the
Fishes, the WslWOiths, e'c, and so Ii tie to
what really concerns our people,"

THE Washington Republican, "Grant's
hand organ" says: "Nr Colfax hiss retired
to al obscure town in Indiana forever. He
has been buried under the political waters,
and can never come to the surface again"
That is decidedly unkind after Cclfax had
served Grant as faithfully as he could. And
pray, what buried him9 And if there is no
resurrection for him, are there Tot "a few
mole of the same sort" who deserve a
similar fate?

ceiyed for years."

THE Springfield Republican of the 5.h

"Mr. Dawes st North Adams last night,
proved General Butler an utterly uufit man
to govern Massachusetts, and theD-prom-

nomination, for the sake of the party"
Dawes is a fair sample of Republican
politicians. They will support anybody SO
