While the facts and statistics go TO show that
vaccination is n preventive OF smallpox, and
Therefore good thing, the discussion OF the other
Side of the gue5tOn-that it does no good, but often
does harm-shOud have hearing. 1t may result
IN developing something better than the Jenner
system, which is now tn use. There are some emil
Dent English, French and German doctors prOmi-
nent in the movement having for its object the
abolition OF vaccination. At meeting OF the anti
vaccination doctors In Cologne, recently, this
movement was formally organized They main
tain that vaccination and reyaccinatiOn confer no
Immunity from smallpox, and have gone far to
warrant the conclusion that the dissemination OF
varlOOuS matter into the blood of the people pre-
dsposeS them to attacks OF the very disease it Is
designed to avert. Some of these doctors go fur
ther, and insist that vaccination undermneS the
constitution and often destroys health There are
physicians I'm this country who take substantially
the same ground, and enough OF them, no doubt,
u put this movement on It's feet in the United
States. A ful and free discussion OF both sides OF
a subject so important to the people as this viii,
no doubt, enlighten the lay as well as the medical
fraternity. Vaccination is now accepted as great
boon, and il 1t is not it is high time the truth
known.

South Carolina has, it appears, been selected as
the next southern state in which the Malone
policy Is to- be organized and pushed. IL Is stated
that Judge T. j. Mackey is to be the political
Moses who Will lead South Carolina out of the
bonds OF ''bOurbOnism." Judge Mackey's political
experience has been varied enough, IL that were
all that is Necessary TO constitute Skilul leader.
He emerged from the rebellion Stalwart re-
publican, but drifted over TO the democrats as
soon as IL became evident that his own party there
was on the down grade There is undOubted dis
satisfaction in many, II not all the southern
ST ties. with the democratic party. This is a
NATURAL result of few years of uninterrupted
rule by party. DisappOintments occur and dis
sensionS grow up which drive from the ruling
party; but 1t will required sklul, courageous and
popular leader TO organize a revolt against the
dominant party In any OF the southern states. 1t
must be admitted that the result in Virginia is
due more to MahOne's able leadership taan TO any
thing else. The first thing for those who are seek
Ing to overthrow democracy in the south is to find
Malone in each state 10 lead the movement.
Measuring their duties and compensation with
the labor performed and the pay received
therefor by most other government en-
plOyeS, and especially by those engaged in
snug office WORK, it must be admitted that the APP
peal for larger salary to the auxiliary letter
Carriers in the postal service rests solid foun-
dation. But does not need any such comparison TO
Bee the Justice of their claim 1t must be manifest to
