New York seems a great deal alarmed
ABOUT the scarlet fever, which is prevailing In
that city almost in the form OF an epidemic.
The Board OF Health is doing all in its power
TO prevent the spread Of the disease, but do
not seem able 70 accomplish much. Great
efforts are being made to isolate and disinfect
cases. The disinfection practiced Is much the
same as that tried with yellow fever. Car
bolic acid was at first tried, but subsequently
dropped In favor of vapors of sulphuric acid
and chlorine, with which the room is 50 filed
that human being could not I've In it. A
scarlet fever hospital has been established in
the city by the Board Of Health, but great
difficulty is found in conveying patients to it.
1t Is now proposed to establish district hospi-
tails throughout the city. by setting apart a
large room In the top story Of each tenement
house as hospital. Great care is taken to
prevent the spread Of the fever in the public
schools children Ia good health from build
ings in which the disease prevails being pro-
hibited attendance. The crowded state Of
lower New York city renders all these pre-
cautions necessary, as the manner in which
the population live. huddled together in the
large tenement houses, is direct invitation
to epidemic diseases.

The republican frauds of 1S76-77 can
never be whitewashed or removed from
the public gaze. Nor can the issue which
the republicans have now made be talked
or written away. They declare they will
keep upon the statute-books laws uncon-
stitutional in their nature. which are a
sore oppression of the personal and politi
cal rights of the people. They choose to
appear as the promoters of such laws be-
fore the country. The democrats have
exercised their right, as the majority to
specify how the appropriations shall be
used, No money is to be used on the army
as partisan police force. The money
appropriated for judicial expenses is to be
used iegitimately, and not dollar eau
be used to pay partisan hirelings. Mr..
Hayes may veto the bills with these re-
strictious, but, in doing SO he clearly com.
mits himself anew to the policy ofattempt-
ing to control elections for partisan pug
poses through the government machinery
against the declared Will of the majority

Bi-Metalism.

The formation in Chicago yesterday of
a bi-metalllc league has double signi6-
canoe. First it indicates a growing senti-
ment among the people for the unlimited
coinage Of silver-or at least in sufficient
quantities to keep plenty of the metal
ahoat for commercial purposes. The
preparations Of Germany for the re-moni-
taxation ofsilver has no doubt largely in
duced prompt action on the part of the
silver advocates. For should silver again
become the recognized money metal OF
Germany, its expectation from this coun-
try would follow as natural result The
Warner silver bill as originally presented
favored free coinage, which would give the
seignorage to spectators, aud not the
government. While this clause met with
strong opposition, aud was finally stricken
out, yet the more enthusiastic silverites are
hardly satisfied, and il need not be sur
prisiug to see the bill amended to suit this
class before its final passage in the senate,
But while the advocates Of free coinage Of
silver are clamoriug for the measure, il
should not be forgotten that such actor
could only have tendency to largely de
preciate gold, which would unsettle values
and benefit none but silver spectators
1t is question on which even silver
advocates differ widely, and at best would
be but an experiment which must be tried
to prove its efficacy. The decentralization
of silver by the republicans was crime
against the nation, and time has demon
strated at least this much-thata bi-metal-
JIG currency is far preferable to an un''m-
tied issue of greenbacks. The one is a
mere promise to pay with DO intrinsic
market value; the other has a metallic
value, outside of the governmental Stang
aud is at least worth its market value as
metal The league formed in Chicago
deals with the silver question in q very
ambiguous manner, leaving the public t
Judge of the real intention of the mem
bers, inferentialy. That some such meas
ure as the Warner silver bill will becom
law, however, is beyond doubt-it ha
become a necessity-though it will hardl.
pass with the free coinage clause.

he is to be turned out Of the senate for
