ANYTHING pertaining to protection
from sunstroke is of most timely inter-
est just now. DIR. Alfred l.. Loomis, of
New York, physician who has had a
large experience in the treatment of
sunstroke, furnishes some valuable sug-
ge>tlons on the subject. The primary
cause of sunstroke, he says, is the over
heating of the b,ood, and "a person may
be exposed to intense heat tor two days,
and on the third day, which may be
cooler than the two preceding it, may be
sunstrhck. The predisposing causes are
use of alcoholic stimulants, physical ex-
haustion, living in close, filthy rooms.
The treatment of the first stage is abso-
lutte rest, cooling applications to the skin
and head, and medicine to relieve the
bowels.

IT appears from the official report that
during the past year the people OF New
York state have paid, in whole or in
part, for the keeping of 43,O95 persons
in the various public charitable institu-
tions. Of these 2,174 were insane, 1856
blind, 922 deaf and dumb, 2SO idiots, 81
inebriates. The house Of refuge had
l,347 inmates; the county poor-houses,
6,s4l; the city alms-house, 9,20S; the
orphan asylums and reformatories, l5,-
800; the homes for the aged, 3,9O7; the
hospitals, 2,o64. In addition, outdoor
relief was given to great number, the
overseers of the poor alone relieving
ll4,s93 persons, while the dispensaries

th,ir term, prisoners that have been we'll
behaved are allowed to 60 out and work
in the city as teamsters, laborers, &c
They are perfectly free, and are not un-

ed to company with capital of $780,

trading in opium.

not rise as much as the cost OF
living, nor as soon. Neither will 1t be easier
for the poor man to get money by borrowing.
He can borrow bat little at any time; 1t Is
the Spectator or trader who will find it more
easy to borrow when imitation is pushing prices
upward. Hence the poor mans friend" is
usually either a politician out of office or
Spectator who is on the ragged edge OF bank
rIptcy and wants a chance to borrow more.
If any poor man has any real collateral or
property TO pledge as security, he can borrow
now all that his security will cover. Lenders
are hunting for good loans Banks are
chOked with idle money, because the men who
can give satisfactory security do not want to
borrow more, and the bankrupts and specula-
tors and confdence-men who want to borrow
can give no safe collateral for a loan. Does
any poor man fancy that the issue OF more
greenbacks will make those who have money
ready to lend it without security II so, he
is egregiously mistaken. Without the real
value TO pledge as security, a man could Dor
row not dollar more, if the currency in cir
culation amounted to $1,000,0 100000, or So
OOO, 600, 900, than he can borrow now.
The professional "poOr mans friend" wants
to strip the poor man of part OF the value OF
his dollar That is the beginning and the end
of the Greenback movement, for the cost Will
fall heavily and almost wholly upon the poor
and labOring classes, while the only beneht
will be gained by spectators and bankrupts.
The poor man is the very one of all men who
can not afford to make the dollar which he
holds and uses worth less than the gold 1t
promises. It is as good as gold TO him to day.
If he knows his own interest, he will take care
to keep the dollar as good as gold.

almost hopeless minority It was accustomed TO spurn

that between right and wrong. The first boilers

The defence in the Billings murder trial-a
case that IL attracting wide attention from the
appearance of daughter as witness against
her Enthusiastically content themselves with
passing around an empty hat. The attempt
to disprove motive and to establish an abb
will not be likely to be successful in this case.
iuasmuch as the husband had frequently
quarrelled with his wife, and was not
far from the house when she was murdered.
In order to break the web of ciTcumstantial
evidence, and to convince the jury that
the prisoner did not kill his wife, the
defence are compelled to prove that some
body else is guilty. Their theory is that
the crime was committed by man who
was seen by the daughter to cross the
road Immediately after the shot was fred, and
to pass over the river in small boat. This
man, as several witnesses will testify, was
bare-headed, and hat which was found In
the road the morning after the murder will be
produced in court. 1t is needless to say that
it would be better for Billings if there were
head under that hat.
The Presidents commentary upon Jefferson's
text, "The world is governed too mRch," is
pat 100 much leRlsldLlOu On unahCldi Suu-
elects is the bane of our times" But while
legislation should be reduced to minimum,
there cannot be too much discussion, for 1t IL
only in this way that the masses of our pOpu-
lation can be educated in finance The Presl-
dent may not have wholly mastered the sci
ence of political economy, but he has acquired
the art of making popular address on most
complex subject. In his speech at Toledo he
ascribes the panic of 1873 and the stringeney
of the tunes to the results of the war,
whereas the more natural deduction would
have been that flush tunes are inev-
itably followed by hard times, the circuit
being completed in about ten years, as is
shown by the recurrence of panics after fixed
intervals during the present century. But the
address was admirable for elearness and
hOmely simplicity. He brought few plain
facts about the currency and the CONNER
cial prospects of the country directly
within the range of the middle classes, so that
they could not help understanding them.
The President deserves the hearty welcome
which he receives everywhere. He is talking
to better purpose this time than in any Of his
previous excursions.

Yesterday was Ylce-Presidents Day at the
State Fairs. At Syracuse Mr.. Colfax, by a
transition which the farmers must have con-
sidered rather abrupt, passed from labOr-sav-
ing machinery to MOrmOnism, and made an
earnest appeal for the enforcement of National
laws against polygamy. Mr.. Wheelers adj
dress at Canton was utterly unpretentious,
and yet exceedingly wholesome. Concerning
National finance he had nothing to say save
that ne had no faith IN any new nOstrams.'
