"DoUBrs ABOUT VACCINATION. Under
this caption there appears in the Washington
Capital of the Goth lust. an article, which, if
setting forth just views, ought to create a pro-
found sensation. Therein it is stated that vac
ciuaton is worse than deIusion; "a dis
grace to the medical profcssion; "a crime
against nature;" IAN internal mysti6cation,
&C." 1t is put upon a par with the belief in
witches. High authorities and careful Stats
ticans are quoted 70 prove that 1t is not only
useless as preventive Of the much dreaded
disease, but is positively poisonous.
Now if some one Of our resident physicians
who has given the matter some earnest study
and vigorous thought, will give us brief re-
view and criticism through this paper OF the
article in question, he vii greatly comfort and

A BETTER SYSTEM.

In such times as these, many impos'
ters will apply Cor relief, and that some
Of them should he successful is not at all
surprising. As it was, perhaps there
we're too many distributors of charity.
We believe in eentralizatiop in such
matters, and observe with satisfaction
that the Citizens Relief Committee,
while eschewing red tape aud circumlo'
cutiou, took a step yesterday that will
sasa some confusion and many mis-
:akes l. resolution passed which al
lows ouly the ward committees to sign
acquisitions for supplies. The office
at the corner of Main aal Madi-
son streets is to be continued
for the benefit of lbe subcommittee, who
will work in conjunction with the depot
at SO Madison street This makes the
committees in each ward Responsible to-
the supplies issued in their territory, and
they ear easily see to it that the same
persons do net 4Esy twice for the same
time, and they can peSsoSally visit the
houses of all applicants ana qdge
whether they are entitled to sach relief.
There will be need for all the means at
our comnspd at home aud abroad. Dis
bursements shouiS be made made equita-
bly, to those only who are sRtitled to aid.
