the accumulation of some foul, invisible
material in the air. however well the
rooms may be ventilated. The human
body itself is source of nOxious ema-
nations. Something in addition to
cleaning has to be resorted to-disin-
fectants. Now that their virtue has
become known, they are considered in
dispensable in housekeeping. They are

chloride of lime, iodine, carbolic acid

the germs of putrefaction, and is the en-
emy of infection. Chloride acts both
as an antiseptic and purifier of the
air, the latter by forming chemical

II any other construction can be put upon

that ought to be confscsted? The Republ-

active the value OF the gresDback is depre-
eiatlng, gold being considered the standard.
They claim that the vast sum of four

Long Branch is the seat OF government

Grant would buy a villa on the Florida
coast for winter residence the White
House could be let to some one who would
occupy it. The president would, no doubt,
consent to such an arrangement If its rental
value was added TO his $4,000 salary. He
seems to have no use for 1t himself, and it
should be- bringing an income to the treas

1.-THE crop of cotton in the southern states
were failure, tbs effect would be of the
greatest Importance to the whole country.
Though the disaster would be direct upon the
South, all sections would sympathize insn-
cialiy in the loss. New York, tbs CONNER
oial center, reflects her condition in all d.
rections and the cotton crop to her stands
side by side with the corn crop of the
West. But as the product is above
al average and little less than
the best, no one remote as We
are thinks much about it. The South, in
material resources, is in good condition.
Its trade with the seab0ard Will be liberal,
and its part in the commercial programme
viii be well sustained. The cotton year
begins with Sept.1. Then the lootiugs are
made aud the balances struck. The total
result OF 1919 is yield OF S,s92,99l bales
against 4,170 3ss bales for the previous year.
Within the last thirty years that figure has
been exceeded only six times. The largest
crop on record wss that of
1860, which was 4,669,770 bales.
The lightest crop record was that of 1s47,
being It's. 651 bales. The immense crop
of 1860 was the main support Of the re-
belliou and was considered happy suGury
tor the rash under aking. From 1861 to
1865 no record is male, hut the product was
small for good reason, the men being occu-
pied in other ways than raising cotton.

under the most hopeful circumstances,
as the old system of running in
debt on the credit of crop 10 be raised Is
mostly done with. The money for the last
crop is in hand to pay for seed, and the

support OF commercial prosperity by fur

views on negro sudrag9 and Southern recon-
structiOn, Like those be promulgated in his
Richmond speech. During the win
ter OF 1874 he was a leader
OF the party in Congress that
favored an increase of the currency, but at
the present Tins hs is engaged in a crusade
against rag money" and is endeavoring to
convince the people that nothing but gold
and silver should circulate as money. In
altering his views upon the subject of the
currency he gave further evidence OF the
facility with which he can change his coat TO
suit the temperature of the weather. He
commenced his political lite as Democrat.
and continued Democrat until there was
no further chance of his getting Office
from that party. He then went to Pitts
burg and helped orgsnizs the Republican
party, and from that day to this he has
either held Office, or been in quest of it. In
his celebrated Richmond speech ne advo-
Gated principles that he turned his back upon
in few months. and when twitted by Gov
ernOr Hendricks with the Inconsistency OF
this, he admitted his Inconsistency, but
claimed that he was "consistent with the
logic Of events" When Andrew
Johnson locked horns with Con-
gress, for long time he remained in statu
quo, undetermined which side to espouse,
but eventually went with Congress and be-
came one OF the presidents most violent
trscucers. When the money panic of 1873
struck tho country, he was in favor of more
money" and it was mainly through his in
auence that the bill to increase the currency
vetoed by the president, was passed.
Although he has some reputation for
holiness, he had not the courage
to break with the president when the latter
vetoed his bill, but seeing the money lords
of the East we're opposed to his views. he
changed his coat aud becsme hard money
man. He is now stumping Pennsylvania to
convince the people that legal tender notes
are dishonest money, and that the only
thing fit 70 be carried in their purses is gold
and silver. The Post must have
lost sight Of his present position,
and in the language we have quoted spoken
of him as he was two years ago, either not
knowing, or having forgotten, that he can
change his principles with the facility that
a chameleon can is color.
