No "Blanks."

Two thousand persons will readily
put dollar each into scheme offering
a prize of 81 900, though only one can
get it, and ,999 must lose his dollar.
A publisher puts $1,000 into collecting
and preparing useful information, and
offers to every one of 1000 persons
who contributes only one collar or so,
a printed duplicate of the results, so
that each one may have the entire rem
eft of what has actually cost $4,000 or
more. Is not this better than any un-
certain chance scheme, full of blank
tickets? This applies to all good jour

Analxzing the Yellow Fever.

A paper to be read before the Public
Health Association at Richmond by
DIR. Chopin ofNew Orleans will, fix
the direct losses by disease in that city
at Sl0,572, 500.
The theories of theee leading doctors
-Bemiss, Chopin, and Sherrick-
will hold that the fever is not produced
by local causes. The theory Of the dis
ease Is summarized as follows:
"The germ theory lights us further
than any other in searching the @ti-
ology of yellow fever by accounting for
its appearance in unaccustomed lOcali-
ties, and at unexpected times, through
introduction of its germs in fomites,
by the fact that investigation generally
discloses the time and mode of their
introduction, while occasional failure
only shows imperfection of research !;
by its conformity to the manner and
rate of progress of the pestilence, with
out regard to the sanitary condition,
air currents, humidity, barometric
pressure, or electrical state of localities /;
by more satisfactorily explaining its
occasionally capricious mode of prog
ress; by it's absolute conformity to in
PRODUCTION of the disease through fom-
ties, to its certain arrest by frost and
its probable arrest by such chemical
agents as chlorine and sulphurous acid,
where it is practicable to apply them
thoroughly and completely to an in
fected spot. The supposition that the
germs are reproduced outside the hu-
man body, rather than inside, explains
the following apparent anomalies At
tendants on the sick are scarcely, if at
all, more liableto the disease than any
person in the same locality; persons
having contracted the fever by visiting
an infected locality and afterward
falling sick in healthy one usually
do not spread the disease among those
around them; persons who have not
had the fever have handled, swallowed
and even inoculated themselves with
its morbid products with impunity.
"Corollaries deducible from the fore.
going propositions: Yellow fever orig
mated in lands never visited by frost
and does not obtain permanent Occu.
patton where the temperature falls be.
low thirty-two degrees Fahrenheit
annually. Yellow fever is exotic tn
the United States, and once complete.
ly eXtirpated by frosts or artificial
means will not recur unless introduced
anew by intercourse with infected re.
gions abroad. The problem is so tc
restrict and regulate this intercourse as
effectually to prevent the introduction
of Yellow fever germs from abroad.

Dead-Heading Oh the Press.

The idea that newspaper people,
says the Ledger, are dead heads, is
very popular error. There is no inter-
est on earth that is expected to, and
actually does, give so much to society
without pay as the press. Instead of
being dead-heads, newspapers are the
victims of dead-heads. Not a day
passes but they are imposed upon by
the public. Every publisher in this
or any other town will bear us out in
what we say. AS a matter of fact the
editor endures more genuine dead
heading than any other man in the
world. The pulpit, the bar, the drama,
religious and charitable societies, finan-
cial and industrial corporations, every
body who is any thing or ever expects
to become, is Ieech upon the liberality
of the press. A fellow gives to the
editor pass to twenty five cent
show, and then expects ten dollars
worth of gratuitous advertising. A
weak enterprise is sought to be estab-
lshed, and the press is called upon to
give it strength and encouragement.
A preacher wants free putting, and a
civil officer asks the press to make him
popular. An actor becomes the EDITORS
mortal enemy If the man of Fabers
does not bestow upon him dollars of
free advertising. The dull author ex-
poets the press to say that he is bright
and entertaining; the quack considers
it the newspapers duty to tell the
world that he is honorable and skilled.
The editor is the one to whom fools
look to give them talents, thieves to
give them honor, knaves to give them
respectability, the guilty to give them
cloaks of innocence, frauds to hide
their roguery and swindlers to cover
up their cheating; they vain expect to
he eXtolled by the press; as a thing to
be imposed upon at will IL thing from
which every one is in duty bound to
get all he can and return as little as
possible A small-sOuied man will
give the press five dollar advertise
nlent and then consider himself cheat
ed if the editor does not write him
twenty five dollars worth of editorial
notices. 1t is about time this sort OF
thing was stopped, and for people to
understand that the press is not a
dead-head, but the chief victim OF
dead-heads. A newspaper gets moth
ing that plrports to come gratuitously
! that it does not pay four-toId, and II
gives much to true charity that people
enormously think they pay for.

Plans for National Militia.

AN IMPORTANT CONVENTION TO BE
HELD TO IMPROVE THE MILITARY
SYSTEM.
A general convention of the leading
military officers of the different states
is to be held in New York, in January,
to take whatever official action maybe
necessary to make the militia force of
each state an efficient military organi-
cation, and TO present to congress the
plans proposed in support of bill to
appropriate 81 900, 900 annually for the
purchase of arms, ammunition and
other ordinance and quartermastcrs'
stores and for the general benefit of
and to be proportionately divided
among the regularly organized and
uniformed militia of the different
states, in accordance with such rules as
may be prescribed by mixed board of
army and militia officers appointed by
the President. A state military CON
vention will be held In this city or
Philadelphia to select representatives
to the general convention, and to take
counsel as to what steps can be taken
for the improvement of the National
Guard of this State. The New York
Tribune says: "a new code. which
shall be complete and sufficient in
itself, and Ineligible to the officers
and men, to be presented to the legis-
lature of that state for its approval,
will be acted upon. Acknowledging
that Pennsylvania is second only to
New York in the numbers of its Ma
tional Guard, the officers believe it to
be far behind all other states which
make any pretentions to uniformed
militia in the provisions of its code.
"a similar movement has been made
by the officers of the National Guard
of New Jersey and Rhode Island.
Letters have been received by General
Wingate from the Adjutant Generals
of Rhode Island, Illinois, Iowa, Ver-
mont, Alabama, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, from the Governor of idaho,
and several leading military officers OF
those States, as well as this, promising
their earnest cooperation with the
movement that has for its end q ma
tional militia" some of them saying
they would go much further than the
plan suggests. Governor Brayman OF
Idaho, in approving of the plan, says
that Idaho, though organized in 1863,
has no militia laws-each Legislature
refusing to enact them. The Nez
Perce war and the recent Bannocli
war found him without authority he
was simply by courtesy of congress,
commandments of the militia, u
without recognized militia. In the
emergency he took upon himself the
authority to organize twenty-siX COM
panies, and distribute 1,700 arms and
10000 cartridges. In his message now
preparing he suggests "a mild, easy
working militia" and had already
suggested to congress a uniform or.
ganizatiOn, under national authority
The Adjutant General of Illinois writes
that the State has a force of 900 men,
without camp and garrison equipage,
and about half armed.

Curtin to Contest.

Ever since the 5th of November it
has been tacitly understood among
certain elan of the unwashed and
unterrtied," that contest would be
made by Ex-Governor Curtin for seat
in Congress. The clandestine prepa-
ratiOns have been going on for fort
night or more. But there had never
been more than a suspicion, until last
evening, when the notice served on
Mr.. Yocum confirmed and verified all
conjectures. The notice having been
served, there followed to-day speciti-
cation of the several frauds alleged to
have been committed. And where
were these frauds committed? Why,
in every county in the district, accord
ing to the notice, which, like an in
dictment with many counts, is bound
to convict on some of them. From
the borough ward to the rural precinct
testimony will be furnished wholesale
and retail, and what good may come
out of Nazareth will he seen later
Exclusive of the Meek wing of the
Democracy, the matter is urged, and
not few of the Republicans add their
quiet assent. 1t may be remarked,
however, that it is not of his own
accord that Curtin makes the contest
for Wallace and other prominent Dem
ocrats encourage it, and .e senator
declares that Curtin must go to con-
gress from this dstrict.n Since the
election an alliance has been formed
between the Republicans and Green
hackers, which makes Mr. Yocum's
support far from weak. Evidence will
be unearthed on this side that will
make the contest a most formidable
one. Election boards going home to
dinner. not opening and closing ac-
cording to the time regulated by law.
together with other latent frauds, will
be submitted as offsets. In CONVEX
sation with Mr.. Yocum Tuesday
morning of last week, it was learned
that bitter fight will be made. I'VE
whipped him in the election and we
will whip him in the contest he says.
He is not at all afraid of their arrange
ments, and says that he can in no way
be de!ea ed, for the Greenbackers hold
the balance of power in the lower
house, and in that event he will be
seated. Gazette Bulletin.

A Silver Plant.
COIN OF GENERAL JACKSON'S ADMIN
ISTRATION.

COIN OF GENERAL JACKSON'S ADMIN
ISTRATION.
A few days ago the express brought
to this city a large quantity of silver
coin, supposed to be about S2U, 900. 1t
was consigned to the Fourth National
bank, corner of Third and Walnut
streets. There would have been
nothing so strange about this incident
if it had not been known that the coin
was of an extraordinary kind, and was
enveloped in a mysterious history. 1t
was of the half dollar denomination,
and every piece bore the date of the
American mint, showing that it was
coined prior to 1884. The strangest
feature of all remains, however to be
recited. Not one of the coin has ever
been in circulation, and are as bright
and rough as when they dropped from
the mint nearly half century ago.
Where has this money been all these
many years? 1t is well known that
S20, 900 received in Cincinnati is
only part of the whole am unit of S15 =
600 of this coin which has been ship
ped from Pittsburgh to various parts
of the country. One theory is that IT
is thief's 'plant" just discovered,
and dug up by some lucky fellow.
Another theory puts the matter in a
speculatory light. 1t is known that
shortly after the date of this moneys
coinage, under General Jackson's ad.
ministration. silver was debased
Mightit not be, then, some one invest
ed largely in the debased coin and
boarded it away on speculation
Whatever the history of the strange
money be, it is a curious one. 1t be
comes almost of national Importance
to know that $4,000 of this ancient
silver is being poured into the curren
of trade CiacinnatiEnqoirer.
