Deadly Dentistry.

Deaths have from time to time occurred
in the dentists chair owing to the ignor-
ant use of anmsthetics It is known to all
physicians that there are certain bodily
conditions which point out the persons
who cannot be put under the influence of
ether or chloroform without absolute risk
of the patients life. Yet the dentists who
wero responsible for deaths under anms-
thesis were always proved to have
failed to examine intelligently into tho
condition of their patients. While this
trifing with life has caused mnch anxiety
to the public another serious cause for dis
trusting the work of this useful profession
has come to light Werefer to the case of Mr..
Gardiner, of Brooklyn, who died last week,
after fortnight OF terrible agony, of gan
creme, caused, it is affirmed, by the arsenic
used to kill the nerve of u decayed tooth
being taken up by the system. The doc
tors who attended Mr.. Gardiner affirm with
emphasis that this arsenical poisoning was
the first cause Of death, although DR.. Guy,
of Brooklyn, simply stated the cause
in his death certificate as 'gangrene of
mouth and face, arising from treat
mont of tooth" Now that the case
has been given to the world il will be
for the public interest to have the arseni-
cal origin of the pathic condition of the de-
ceased established beyond doubt by analy-
sis. On that only can the grave charge
which duplicates two dentists, one in
Boston and one in Brooklyn. be satisfac-
torily brought home or disposed of. BY far
the most important feature of the matter is,
however, the admission by certain den

Massachusetts, Politics.

Our Boston letter casts some needed light
upon the inner workings Of politics in the
Bay State. The trouble of the democrats
seems to be that they must decide between
saving the Governorship this year and
being undivided in the Presidential
struggle of 1880. A member of the party,
who would make strong gubernatorial
candidate-one who probably could alien
ate most of the democrats who have already
gone over to Butler-is being reserved to
concilate the two wings of the party in
1880, and the gentleman who has been Sc
lected in his stead is hardly likely to do
more than lead those members of his
party who are fonder of principles than of
men. There is ceaseless activity in the
Butler camp, but the number of COM
manders and interests that exist there
make the success of the so-called '.inde-
pendent" effort more than problematic. 1t
may be possible to fuse into homogeneous
whole number of discordant elements
that will agree to such treatment, but why
they should agree when no object is to be
gained by it is more than can be explained.
As the State stands at present the republi-
cans have only their managers to blame if

Danger signals in wall street.

For some weeks an almost unprecedented
speculation has ragged in Wall street. Even
the widest fever of the year following the
war was equalled in the street last week.
Now undoubtedly the country is once more
prosperous the wheels of industry and
trade have begun again to move and Wall
street naturally responds to the new feel
ing of confidence. But what is going on
down there just now is not wholesome. 1t
is overdone. Nothing in the renewed ac-
tivity Of industry and trade, for instance,
makes stock which was quoted at Is a
year ago, safe purchase now at 80. or one
which was quoted at last October worth
13 1-2; or one which brought at that time
worth 10 1-2 now. We could extend this
list of comparisons, and it would show cu-
riously enough that the great rise has taken
place entirely in what are called fancy
stocks, securities about the real value of
which the outside people know little or
nothing.
We advise the general public to stand
from under. There was bound to be gen.
eral rise in securities from last year be-
cause then prices were too low; buyers ana
investors were too cautious. But the pen
dulum has now swung too far in the other
direction, and there will presently be a
pause in the street and a swinging back to
more moderate prices. Then the people
who have ''gone in," as the saying is, at
the top of the market will be left high and
dry, and the prudent and skilled manipu-
lators of the street will go off with their
pockets full of other peoples money.
1t is not matter which affects the coun-
try at largo. No real or legitimate interest
is advanced by the Wall street fever which
just now prevails, and none will be injured
by the reverses in the street which are sure
to come. But we advise everybody to keep
out of the street just now. It is good
time to stand from under.
