Republican Sensitiveness.

The Republican papers, with a sensi-
tiveness born of the Presidential con-
test of 1876, have taken great pains to
let the people of the United States
know that Mr.. Garfield was fairly
elected President, and that he did not
go into the White House with plural
ity of the popular vote against him.
They now give Garfield vote at A.
446, 623, and Hancock's at 4,443, 106-
showing an excess for Garfield over
Hancock of 1862 votes. This differs
slightly from the Tribune almanac's
table, which gives Garfield over Han
cock 3,033. 1t is to be remembered,
however. that these are pluraIities, not
majorities of the whole popular vote
cast. There was third Presidential
candidate in the late election--Weaver;
Greenbacker, and he received 3O7, 74O
votes. When these are taken into the
account it is found that, while Gar
field ran ahead of his most important
competitor, $500 votes, he lacked &c.,
7O6 votes of a majority of the whole
number cast. In other words, there
was a majority in the popular vote of
316, FOG against Garfield,
But there is little significance in these
figures. Mr.. Garfield was elected, and
no person in the land disputes his claim
to be the rightful President. 1t would
be desirable, if it were practicable, to
have the successful Presidential candi-
date receive q majority of all the votes
cast. so that he: might be. clearly indi-
Gated as the choice of his countrymen.
But this cannot always be. unGer our
existing electoral system, and we must
be content at times to see a man right
fully haugurated who has received only
a plurality of the votes cast for three or
more candidates, or who, while receiv-
ing a majority of the electoral votes,
may receive only minority fthe popu-
lar votes. 1t is a proof that the Re-
publicans were never, entirely satisfied
with Mr.. Hayes title to the Presidency,
when they take such pains to show that

What Is. a Cold Z

To enjoy life, one must be in good
health; and to remain free from dis
ease is the desire of all. Yea there are
some ailments; which; do not interfere
very much with tho pleasures of life,
and, therefore, are not dreaded in con-
sequence-nay, more, they are fire.
quently treated with neglect, although
in many instances they are the precur-
sors of more serious disorders, which
may, in not a few cases, have fatal
termination! How often, TO the usual
greetings which one friend exchanges
with another, is the reply given. Very
well, thank you, except a little cold"
A little cold, and yet how significant
this may be! In how many cases do
we find little cold " resemble a lit
tie seed, which may sooner or later
develop into a mighty tree! little
cold neglected may, and frequently
does, prove itself to be a thing not to
be trifed with. Let me. then, pray my
readers to remember that small Begin
nings in not few instances have big
endings, and this especially where dis
ease exists. Let us, then, consider
what is common cold.
In the first place, we must be para
-doxical, and affirm that it is not cold
at all. 1t is rather heat, if l may SO
express myself, that is, it is form of
fever, but, of course, of very mild
type when tits uncomplicated by other
diseases. 1t is certainly in the major
ity of instances due to the effects of
cold playing upon some portion of the
body, and reacting upon the mucous
membrane through the intervention of
the nervous apparatus. What is called
a cold, then, is in reality a fever; and,
though in the majority of instances it is
of such a trivial nature rs to necessitate
few precautions being taken during
its attack, vet in some cases it runs a
more acute course, and may be followed
bv great prostration. Even when the
premonitory symptoms of a cold are
developing themselves, when, for ex-
ample, what n medical man calls arigor,
or. as it is popularity designated, shiv-
ering is felt, when we would naturally
suppose that the animal temperature is
below par, it is at that very moment
higher than the normal. thus showing
the onset of fever.--Popular Science
