WHAT Is A COLD!

It is startling to discover, says the
London Lancet, how little wo know
about the commoner forms of disease.
For example, "cold," what is it?
How is it produced, and in what does
it consist? 1t is easy to say cold is {,
chill. A chill of what part of the or
ganisn? We know by daily expert
ence that the body, rs whole, or any
of its parts, may be reduced to a con-
siderably lower temperature than will
suffice to give man n cold if tho So
called chill be inflicted upon tho sur
face suddenly.
Is it, then, the suddennesssso ssof a reduc-
ton Of temperature that causes the
cold? 1t would be strange if it were
so, because few of the most susceptible
of mortals would take cold from SIM
ply handling a piece of cold metal or
accidental contact with ice. The truth
would seem to be that what we call
cold taking is the result of q sufficient
impression of cold to reduce the vital
energy of nerve centres presiding over
the functions in special organs. If
this be the fact, it is easy to see why
nature has provided the stimulus of n
strong fit of sneezing to rouse the dor
mant centres and enable them Mt once
to resume work and avoid evil conse-
quence. This explains why the worst
effects of cold do not, as rule, follow
upon 'chilP' which excites much
sneezing. Shivering is Il less effective
convulsion to restore the paralyzed
nervous energy, but in lower degree
it may answer the same purpose. The
shivering that results from the effect of
a poison on the nervous centres is to-
tally different matter. We speak only
of the quick muscular agitation and
teeth chattering which occur when.
ever the body is exposed to cold, and
evil results do not ensue. 1t follows
from what we have said that the nat
ural indication to ward off the effects
OF chill is to restore the vital energy
of the nerve centres, and there Is no
more potent influence by which TO at
tain this object than strong and sus.
tained effort Of the will. The man
who resolves not to take cold seldom
does.

The "Monroo doctrine' was thus
formulated by President Monroe in his
annual message OF December, 1923,
when--in speaking Of Spain's claim to
sovereignty over her old possessions
although the United States had form
ally recognized their ndependence-he
said "With the existing colonies or
dependencies of any European power
we have not interfered, and shall not
interfere but with the governments
who have declared their independence
and maintained it, and whose indepcnd-
ence we have, on great consideration
and on just principles, acknowledged
we could not view any interposition
for the purpose Of expressing them, or
controlling in any other manner their
destiny, by any European power, In
any other light than as the manifesto
ton of an unfriendly disposition to-
wards the United States"

HOW EDITORS ARE TREATED.
lShreveport Standard,l


The defeat Of the Hon. E. Barks-
dale for the Office of United States
Senator from Mississippi is only in
keeping with the treatment which ed
itors, who have spent their lives in the
service of the party, invariably re-
cefve at the hands of those who have
the comforting of the party houors. If
there is one man who has done more
than any one else for Democratic prin-
ciples in the State of Mississippi, that
man is Mr.. BarksCfale. Years before
the war he welded his powerful pen
in defense of the principles of the
States-rights Democracy and exerted
the full measure of his talents in keep
ing the Democratic party pure when 1t
was in danger of being corrupted after,
the passage of the compromise measures
of 1850. He did his full duty to his
State, and to the South, In the struggle
for Southern Independence, thus show
7 ing that he was ready to follow his
principles to their legitimate conse-
quences. Since the war he labored in
cessantly for the redemption of his
State from Radical rule until he saw
the last vestige of the Radical govern
ment swept away. 1t would have
been according to the fitness of things
that he should take the place of the
last Radical who holds high Office in
the State. And so thought plurality
of the Legislature. He led all his
competitors ON every ballot that was
take previous to his withdrawal. But
his strength proved only his weakness.
The friends of the other candidates
combined against him aud a new man
was nominated. Common courtesy
should have prompted contrary
course.
But this is the way editors are al
ways treated. 1t has come to be the
common law of politics that an EDITORS
time and brains and money are to be
used only in tho advancement Of the
claims of this, that or the other pot
house politician to office. 1t never
seems to strike any of these men that
an editor is entitled to any considera-
tion whatever. If he should ask for
even q slight recognition in the dis
position of the honors and emoluments,
within the gift of the party, his request
| would arouse as much CONSERVATION
in their ranks as the demand of Oliver
Twist for little more soup.
We admit that the chronic neglect
with which the members of this pro.
fession are treated by the party wire.
workers is, in great measure, theil
own fault. They should form league
for their own protection. They should
cease to be made the tools Of the avari-
| cious and the ignorant. They should
! make their mission as teachers oi
| men, and directors of public sentiment,
acknowledged and their influence felt.
1t were the easiest matter in the world
to bring the one-horse politicians to,
| if M effort were only made.

Tho New York News says it is pret-
ty evident that Congress does not in
tend to adopt my material changes in
the laws relating to banking, tho cur
rency or tho tariff. The diversity of
opinion prevailing in each of tho great

country is so great that neither party
cares to risk tho effect of agitation or

ACKLEN's ACTION.
CCincinnati Gazetto.l

WAslIlNGTON, Jan. 23.--Until pub
licatton by tho press but very few
members knew of the gross violation
of the privilege Of the house by Mr..
Acklen in presenting to the house a
fraudulent report of the committee OH
foreign affairs, paper that the COM
mittee had never seen or acted on. He
took 1t upon himself to do this when
he was not member of this commit
tee. The paper purported to be- a fla
vOrable report of the committee ON for
eign affairs ON certain Nicaragua claims
which Mr.. Acklen desired to have adj
vanced. a.a .E..,.
The record of january l4th, thus
states his action: .,,t
"Mr. Acklen-I ask unanimous con-
sent that the report Of the committee
on foreign affairs, In relation to tho
claims of certain citizens against the
government Of Nicaragua, be referred
to the committee of the whole and Or
idered to be printed. There being no
objection, 1t was ordered accordingly"
When the document appeared In
print, bearing the official imprint of
the committee, its members received
tho first notice of the matter, and at
once took steps to expose Acklen, but
finally they concluded to lot the matter
t"ocS PAoNAASU uV5 HOSo WIkA 1t1bOVU110AA
the house of what he had done. This
he did In tho following words, as ap-
pears In the Record Of the 2lst in-
slant: .-....# 4as.D H .l
"Mr. Acklen-On January 13, dur.
ing the absence of my colleague, MIR.
King, / asked the unanimous consent
of the house to have printed u manu-
script designated as sReport No. sc of
the house of representatives of the 46th
Congress, second session. which 1 had
myself prepared and placed In his
hands, and which he had subsequently
returned to mo at my request. I ask
that 1t be Withdrawn, as 1t was SUBJ
mitted by me without authority from
Mr.. King or from the committee on
foreign affairs, 1t having taken no nc.
ton in the matter. This was done
through a mistake of mine." H
No case US gross as this has occurred
! in the history of Congress, so far AS the
| members now remember. 1t is likely
to lead to formal action on the part OF
the house.

NEW HAMPsHlRE VS. LOUISIANA.
lNew Orleans Daily states.l

lNoW SAA06AS A0AAy SNNSSS.l
The telegra phi announces the initia-
tion of suit in the Supreme Court of
the United States by the State of New
Hampshire against the State of Louisi-
ona, to enjoin the execution of the pro-
visions of the new constitution, rela-
tive to the payment of the interest on
the consolidated bonds.
We presume the suit is brought un-
der the original Jurisdiction Of the Su-
preme Court of the United States in
controversies at law and equity be-
tween the States, or in which a State is
a party.
1t will be deeply interesting and
important suit, the first of the kind
ever brought. There have been several
suits between States under this original
Jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, but
they all involved questions of bound
aries. We can remember no case in.
volving a debt liability which was
ever brought under this Jurisdiction.
There has been a vast amount Of argu-
mentation on this subject among the
lawyers; many able jurists have con-
tended for the jurisdiction, and, as
able ones, starting with Daniel Web
ster, have denied that any such juris-
diction existed. 1t would be wise to
settle the question at once; we shrink,
however, with horror from the menace
of such burden of learning and logic,
as will be inflicted upon the reading
public by this discussion.
The last July number of the Law
Journal of Boston contains what might
be considered an exhaustive disserta-
ton on this question, written by Gen.
Bradley johnson, of the Virginia and
Maryland bar, in which the theory of
the liability of States to be sued in this
manner, is presented with great: force.
1t was, doubtless, this argument
which induced the State of New Hamp-
shire to enter upon this campaign or
adventure of collecting debt from a
sister State due to her citizens. An
act of the New Hampshire Legislature
authorized and directed the attorney
general to bring suits against all the
delinquent States on bonds held by the
State or its citizens.
Louisiana .kas been selected as the
first victim. Minnesota, Tennessee
and other States are to follow in pro-
cession.
In such suits under the original juris-
diction of the Supreme Court the pro-
cess in this case, writ of injunction,
will be served by the marshal of that
court. Fred Douglass, that dignif1ed
and philosophic colored citizen of the
District of Columbia, will be required
to make the long trip to this city and
to wait upon Governor Wiltz with the
writ of Injunction, forbidding the said
Governor to pay the interest directed
by the new constitution to be paid to
the holders of the consolidated bonds,
and requiring him for the State of
Louisiana to retain the fund set aside
by the original contract with the bond
holders, from the taxes of the State.
That is if the writ issues, but we i'm
agine there will be a very long and te
dious argument, involving the whole
question at issue, before the writ is
granted.

THE NEGRO EXODUS.
Mobile Registcr.l

MODllO ItoklStcr.
The Columbus (Miss.) Index takes a
cheerful view of the negro exodus, and
making virtue of necessity, says with
a becoming spirit of resignation:
awe are not in any sense opposed to
the exodus. We hope the movement
will grow, flourish and prosper. We
hope it will expand the field of its
operations until it reaches every part
not only of Mississippi but of the
South. And we hope, furthermore,
that the negroes whom it may carry
away will find in the country they 60
to generous welcome, and every in
ducement in the way of comfortable
homes and plenty of work, to make
them stay and become permanent citi-
zeDs. The places made vacant by these
negroes will be filled in time by white
people who will settle on the soil,
make it their home, build it up,
beautify it, and add to it in every way
a hundred told."
It would no doubt be very inconven-
lent for some years after the event for
the South to lose at any one time a
large number of the colored laborcrs,
but the Index hits the nail on the head
when it says that white laborers would
very soon flow in to fill the gap.
Looking to the immediate future of
the South, we have no regrets at the
efforts of political managers from the
North to remove from us the indolcnt
and discontented of the negroes.
