Their only resource, of course, was inc Lesls-

to be sure to catch the offenders in order to

takes no thought of anything but the legsla-

not TO be of much account.
OF course this sort of legislation is weak

SOBER SECOND THOUGHTS.

The Constitutional Convention in Pennsyl
yania has recOnsidered its resolution to ad
iouTn, and determined to go on with its work
at tho rate of two sessions a day. Whether
it is the cool weather that has produced this
change Of temper, or some sudden light upon
the political situation, we can only conjec-
ture; but be the cause what it may, the hall
which last week resounded with the groans of
perspiring delegates, and prOtestations of the
utter inability of any decent gentleman to
work in the city during the month of July, is
now filed with the hum and hustle of active
business 1t would indeed be curious
thing if an assemblage of ever hundred
persons, who are supposed to represent the
most practical and cultivated minds in Penn
sylvania, should find themselves, after six
months work, so far from the end of their
undertaking that they must pause and rest for
a quarter of year before attempting to go
any further. 1t would be'especially strange in
this case, because the articles of the consti-
tuition that remain to be considered are sup
posed to offer no very serious difficulties.
With diligence in work, and a moderate de-
gree Of restraint in improbable speech-making,
the constitution can doubtless be completed
in time for submission to the people before
October.
The importance Of haste in this matter we
have already explained. All the hopes of the
new Reform party of Pennsylvania depend
upon the change in the election laws for
which the new constitution provides. II the
October election is to be conducted by the ex-
listing methods, no reform can be anticipated
nd 4r,,r 30
that the organization which now promises so
much may fall to pieces before it has On OPP
portuniy to accomplish anything. But there
is another consideration which Philadelphians
especially will appreciate. The officers to be
elected next October win be in Office
during the preparations for the Cen
tennial, and it will depend in q
great measure upon them whether Pennsylva-
MIA shall have cause TO blush for her share in
the great celebration. If the business is to be
managed on the part of the city and State by
q Ring of j0bbers and cheats who are the
counterparts on smaller scale Of Tweed and
Connolly, the memory of tho Centennial will
be source of everlasting shame. At least
when,P Pennsylvania invites al the world to visit
her in 1876, let her show her guests an honest
government and bid them welcome by the lips
of officials whom a gentleman need not object
to take by the hand.
With regard to the chances of the adoption
of the new constitution in ease 1T is finished
this Summer, the leading Pennsylvania Re-
formers, who ought to he competent TO judge,
seem to have no misgiyings. On fair and
fill vote il would doubtless be accepted by
large majority. There is danger, however,
that the vote may be neither fair nor full.

It was not till the advent Of the disease IN
1s5i-5 that DR.. William Budd of Bristol,
England, seems to have fully aDprehended
the chief characteristic of the epidemic He
declared that it was chiefly propagated 10y
the exoremental fluids of those who were sick
with the disease
The method of propagation being known IL
became comparatively casy problem to pre-
vent it. Obviously perfect cleanliness which
should purify earth, air and water, and every
surrounding of human abodcs, constituted the
direct means to attain the object The free,
prompt, thorough use of disinfectants was
found to stamp out" cholera. Wherever
good sanitary regulations were enforced, in
1866, the epidemic was at once arrested. 1t
can make no headway against cleanliness,
copperas and carbolic acid.

A PESTILENCE SHORH or ITS TER

A PESTILENCE SHORN OF ITS TERRORS
None Of the discoveries of this century, when
its records are arranged in the perspective
Of history, will appear rs OF more value
to mankind than that of the means Of arrest
ing the spread of Cholera. The magnitude of
the peril from which this and future genera
tions have been delivered cannot be over
estimated. The number of lives lost by
cholera, before sanitary science acquired tho
means for meeting and destroying it, is cal
culated to have exceeded the entire pOpula-
ton of the United States. But no statistics
can represent the sum of human misery in
which this enormous loss of life was but a
single factor; the fear the want, the ruin that
overlook the survivors, and marked certain
years as among tho blackest in mems mem
orios.
Tho discovery of the means Of arresting
cholera was not an accident 1t was not a
sudden inspiration of genius. 1t was the
elaborate result of the slow, patient, pains
taking methods Of modern inductive science !;
counting, measuring weighing, recording,
comparing; accumulating facts and statistics;
deducing general laws from abundant observ-
atioDs, and attempting experiment only where
previous knowledge opened the pathway. In
the epidemics of 1924, tho fact was estab-
lishcd that by prompt and universal attention
throughout a community to the premonitory
symptom-tho diarrhea-the fatality Of the
disease could be largely diminished. That
filthy surroundings and bad personal habits
faciltlted the attack Of cholera, was recog-
nized as general fact, but its peculiar sig
nihcance was scarcely suspected. Some
thing was also ascertained as to the circum-
stances under which the disease was COM
municIted in some instances and not in
others. In 1880 tho result was definitely
established that tho disease was communca-
BILE by foul drainage, and the fact that the
drinking water of large community might
thus bo infected was ascertained. 1t was
then noted that cleansing processes, in con-
ncction with improved drainage, diminished
tho liability " disease in certain localities.

RE TT ENACTFD.D

It seems somehow to be in the nature OF
democracies to run to over-legislation. With
the law-making power resident in the people,
or in O Legislature but one remove from them.
and of their direct creation, it is perhaps natural
that the individual citizen should feel that the
machinery Of government and the function of
legislation arc in some measure his personally.
He owns stock in it, is part of it, a member
of it, and of course proud of his influence in
it, lie goes to the polls and elects his man TO
represent him in the making of the laws. In
theory, he lays his hand upon the shoulder of
his representative, calls him-as the airy dema-
gogue in proud humility calls himself-a pub
lie servant and directs him what laws to make or
unmake, alter OF amend. This is his machinery,
for the doing of his work, and he would much
rather have it shine in use than rust unburn-
ished. So, no matter what his grievance
whether it be personal or political, local or
general, his first impulse is to apply the pam
acea Of legislation and go at it with the inevi-
table "Be it enacted" Something must be
"done about this" he cries impatiently, and
that something" Is of course law upon the
subject. The result is statute upon statute,
laws defining Other laws, laws imposing addi-
tional penalties, laws remedial, punitive, and
declaratory, until tho statute books in all the
States are filed up with half-digested com
pilations which bother courts, make bust
ness for lawyers and confuse the people.
A queer illustration of this disposition on
the part of the average American citizen and
his average representative in the Lcgis-
latrro was furnished in Connecticut the other
day. Near one of the stations on the Nor
wich and Worcester Railroad some scoundrel
had obstructed tho track in two or three
places, 80 that an early passenger train was
thrown of. with considerable damage TO

BOND BOLSTERING.

The people Of Kansas are beginning TO think
that they have been somewhat too generous
in lending the public credit to aid private
corporations. They admit, at least some of
their newspapers do, that for six years past
they have been too willing to vote bonds for
anything, and that, in their desire to advance
the greatness and wealth Of the State, they
have committed good many most expensive
blnnders. Thus, In Usage County, the people
of Burlingame wanted woolen-mll, and so
they erected beautiful stone building, which
they announced themselves ready to give away
to anybody who would put in the requisite ma
chinery. There were not 800 sheep IN the
county; but the mill was put up, and to-day
remains unused and laugbing-stock.
Sometimes worse happens. lola wanted
the King Bridge manufacturing shops
so $4,000 in city bonds were given as a
bonus for locating the works there.
AS soon as the bonds were obtained, the
works were transferred to Topeka, which had
outbid lola by giving 100000 in city bonds.
The latter city had never received the
SLIGHTEST benefit from the works, yet upon
removal the Company refused to refund the
money which it had received, the bonds nav
ing all been sold to innocent purchasers"
The citizens of lola were naturally indignant,
and refused to pay interest on the loan. Ac-
ton being brought by the bondholders to re-
cover this Judge Dillon, in the U. S. Circuit
Court. has decided that the city of lola had
no constitutional authority to issue the bonds
at all, and, as a necessary consequence, Is not
bound to pay the interest upon them. The
decision is important, and it must be admitted
that it has a suspicious flavor Of reputation.
If city pledges its credit, however hastily,
we do not see how it can lawfully escape pay
ing what it has promised to payj but at any
rate the ruling may check the mania for reck-
lessly pledging municipal credit, which has
been running its dangerous course IN localities
far less distant from Manhattan Island than
lola, Kansas.

WHAT KILLED CAPT. HALLf

ApOplexy is supposed to be absolutely un-
known in tho Arctic regions, and when the
fist stories of Capt Halls death reached this
country it was the general opinion that there
was some mistake, or else falsehood, i'll the
reports. The suspicious Of foul play are now adj
mitted to have had no other foundation than the
rawlings of delirious and dying man. More
than this, the testimony of Sergeant Meyer
(who is an educated and competent observerh
confirmed as it is by the evidence of Joe, and
Hannah, and all the other witnesses, leaves no
reasonable doubt as to the precise cause Of
Halls death.
1t appears that he returned from his last
sedge journey in tolerably good health, though
his strength had perhaps been ovcrstrained.
Almost Immediately after entering the close
cabin, where the air was foul and the temper
aturo very much higher than he had been
used TO for the previous fortnight, he was
attacked by illness. He became suddenly
drowsy He was put to bed ate nothing,
but drank some coffee, which apparently pro-
duced vomiting. The next morning he was
found to be paralyzed on the left side. In
three days he grew better and recovered the
use of his limbs but delirium afterwards set
in. and two weeks after the first attack he
died. Now that he was not poisoned by the
coffee is evident from three circumstances /;
he was taken sick before he drank the coffee !;
several Others partook of the same brewing
without suffering any bad effects; and finally
poison would have affected his whole system,
and not have spared the right side. What
then was tho attack A physician recOg-
nizes the symptoms at once as those of con-
gestion Of the brain. The dr0wsiness is one
indication the sickness at the stomach is an
other. An affection of one lobe of the brain
is followed by paralysis of the opposite side of
the body. Sometimes the congestion Is re-
lieved, and the patient improves, as Hall did !;
but there was undoubtedly second attack,
and that proved fatal. Vomiting is naturally
attributed by ignorant persons to poison
or some other deleterious substance taken
into the stomach; but it is very common
result of brain affection, and all medical men
know that n violent blow on the head almost
always produces nausea,

The Philadelphia Ring will probably exert
themselves to count up heavy adverse ma
jcrity in the city, though they have fewer OPP
portunihes than would naturally he theirs at u
general election. In the country districts thc
necessity for change is not so koenly appre-
ciatcd, and tho vote may consequently DC
small. Tho obvious duty of the ReiormerS
will, therefore, bo to arouse public opinion
throughout the State, and get for the consli-
tuition an honest country vote which false
counting in Philadelphia cannot overcome.
