Spreading the SMALLPOX.

Our little editorial squlb on thursday,
referring to couple of physicians who
1t is said after visiting smallpox pa
tients carelessly visited other patients
without a change of clothing, seems to
have struck home, as we have been the
recipient of the following clipping en-
closed with the editorial referred to,
which our readers shall have the bene-
fit of as well as ourselves
''There are some very straightforward
people in Galveston. One OF them went
up to the News Office, and, sauntering
l,p to the desk, asked Il hear that the
Bible has been revised. Do you know
if any important changes have been
made ?" "A good many, l believe" "
"Then, there is no mistake about Ana
MAS being struck dead for lying
"No, believe not "Well, If l was
YOU, would find out about it" And
he strolled out as unconcernedly as you
please" )"
We suppose this was intended for a
settler, but it might rs well be under
stood by the person who sent the clip
ping, whoever he is, that we are not
very easily silenceL when We know we
are right. There is no Ananias in the
case about this office. Our informant is
n reliable gentleman, and we believe
what he says is true, The report that a
physician visited smallpox patient
and Immediately afterwards called TO
see lady suffering with rheumatism,
and who afterwards took the smallpox,
can be well SubStantiated. We have
no means of knowing whether the ply
stefan who visited the smallpox patient
and the rheumatic lady AT the same
time and who sent a clipping to the
REPUBLICAN, is the same or not, but
we suspect that one includes both. If
he will send us his name We can tell
him whether he is the guilty man.
But instead of spending Il multiplied,
ty of words upon an anonymous news
paper clipping, we would suggest some
thing more practical, though we do not
profess to be able to instruct our physi-
clans. We can only tell what doctor
did in a village u short distance from
Wilmington. He had several smallpox
patients whom he visited daily, but he
never visited other patients suffering
from other diseases without first chang
ing his outside clothing. For this pur-
pose he kept change in his stable
where he changed every time he visited
his smallpox patients. The result was
that this doctors patients all got over
the smallpox and no more took it, and
the village is now clear of the scourge
1t seems to us that the same precautions
might be taken in this city and that
certain hours might be set aside for Wis
iting small-p9N patients, after which a
change of S6thins could be made and
other patients visited without the fear
of spreading the disease,

Cinderella at School.

"Cinderclla at School," will be pre-
sented here on the evening of May 10th.
The play is most attractive one. Here
is what II capable critic says:
"The light and playful temperament
of the late Tom Robertson never found
II task more congenial than adapting
from the German play, Of "Aschenbro-
del, d" his graceful and captivating COM
edy of "School." The musical para
phrase of this popular work, by Mr..
Woolson Morse, "Cinderella at School" "
is no less dainty, although a little more
farcical. Without losing any of the pc
culiar brightness and grace of Robert
sons adoption, Mr.. Morse's version in
its quaintness, originality of treatment,
melody and sparkle is altogether
better calculated to please the audience
of the present day. The world moves
very fast in matters theatrical-So fast,
indeed, that although Robertson is not
exactly antiquated, "the tender grace
of a day that is dead, begins to attach
TO his comedies. Consequently, we
hive no quarrel with "Cinderella at
school" for attempting to attract our
attention to an old story, told in a new
way, with,the the assistance Of new and
tuneful music"

ARlOw in the Right Time.

No action taken upon any question
has made President Garfield so many
friends as that Of declaring open war
against Senator Conkling, for that is
what such action means. The Presi-
dent waited too until the right time,
when he knew that public opinion must
support him before he struck the blow.
The majority Of the people think that
he would have been juStitiable in Strik-
ing sooner than he did, but it must BE-
considered .hat he was not so sure Of
public support. 1t is always better to
put up with taunts and insults for Il
while to make sure Of a victory in the
end. "Wait until you can see the
white of their eyes" said General War
rem at the battle of Bunker Hill, "and
then let them have it." The troops did
as they were bid and ever since every
true American has read the history of
that battle with feelings of patriotic
pride President Garfield waited until
he could see the white Of COnkling'S
eyes, yes, more, he could hear the
gnashing Of his teeth and feel his hot
breath as he bore down upon him in his
imperious haste for revenge He has
given Mr.. Conkling full opportunity to
exhibit himself in his true coors, and
the public understands him better to.
day than it ever did before.
IT has been shown that there can be
no harmony with Mr. Conkling unless
he can have his own way. First, the
President appointed to office large
number of Mr. Conkling's friends, Civ
ing him the most generous recognition,
but the moment he appointed one man
who was not Mr.. Conkling's friend,
then the latter commenced war upon
the President, calling his action peril
dy, and as chairman refusing to report
the nomination from his committee
either favorable or unfavorable. He
went into the Republican caucus as
soon as an executive session was decid-
ed upon and begged it that no nomina-
tion should be acted upon to which a
single Senator obiectrd The caucus
with most humiliating obseqiuousness
agreed to this outrageous proposition.
Mr.. COnkling went farther, and had a
committee appointed to ask tho Presi-
dent to surrender and the committee
with amazing affrontery made the re-
quest. 1t is strange that Senators could
be found who would undertak, TO dc
such thing. Then it was that it was
telegraphed all over the country from
Washington that the President had sur,
rendered and that Mr.. Conkling was
IN lster of the situation.
Then it was that the President, goad
ed on to the last tension of endurance
and in defence of his own consistency
and good name, struck back the blow
that has placed Mr.. Conkling hors dc
combat. lhe public have been watch
Jo9ing this performance and fully under
q stsnd, Ft!IlPresident Garfield waited
until rrecissIy the right time and ther
turned upon his assailant, and the pub
lie will support the President in thu
stand he has taken.

Garbage Removal.

Some stringent city legislation on the
part of the City Council is needed to per-
feet a better system ofremoving garbage
from the streets. This is one OF the
very important departments OF the city
governments that should never be
sighted and consequently appears TO
us should not be let out by contract.
The contract system means getting
something done as cheapiy as possible
and often imperfectly done, cheapness
being the great object sought after. II
cannot but appear consistent to all Well
thinking minds that a matter which
concerns the health of the city to the
same extent as the removal OF garbage
does, should not be done cheaply. Life
and health are above price. Whileit is
right and proper that extravaganza
should be checked and proper economy
used, the removal of garbage which en-
genders disease is of much more impor-
tance.
The reason why the garbage has not
been removed from the streets, is be-
cause the contractors have undertaken
the work at IA lower price than they
could afford to do it for, and hence i'll
order to come out square without losing
money they were compelled to slight
and neglect their work. Garbage is
thing that should be promptly removed
at whatever cost, al d without depend
ing upon the whim and convenience of
contractor to do it who is not half paid
for doing it,
The City Council would do well by
dividing the city into convenient dis
tricts, and fixing aremunerativcprice for
removing the garbage from such district
Practical business men could easily de-
termine what the work would cost and
the price agreed upon should be paid to
the person who would undertake to re-
move the garbage for the price agreed
upon. As well might the offices of the
CITY be farmed out to the lowest bidders
by contract as to give the removal Of
the garbage to the lowest bidder, Fix
a price for each district, and let the City
Council or the Board of Health choose
between the applicants who shall re-
move the garbage at the price At any
rate let there be no more botches in the
removal of garbage as have occurred
during the present year, for the sake of
saving a few paltry dollars to the city,
Daily Republican., 1881-05-07

In its present dilemma council could
make no better selection of business
manager Of the Board of Health than
Mr.. Singley, the retiring President of
the old board. There have been some
complaints against him during the past
few months, but altogether he has done
more than his duty, with but little assis-
tance from the other members of the
board. He has shown himself to be
capable in every respect and should
council make him business manager
there will be no cause to regret the
choice.

CONKLlNG Is HARDLY so obtuse as
not to see that the President means to
be President. Conkling wanted the
President to withdraw a portion of the
New York nominations and willing to
oblige him he has partially complied
with his request, but has only with
drawn those who Conkling favored.

ling had the greatest objections, was not

The case of Nalor vs.. Conley which has been
on hearing in the Equity Court for the last ten
days, was decided yesterday by Justice Cox in
favor of the compliments The plaintiffs are the
widow and heirs of Allison NaiOr, ST., who died in
this city about two years ago. He was well known
among business men, having resided here and in
Montgomery County, Maryland, all his life. In
early life and up to the time that he was about
fiityfive years of age he was energetic business
man, and accumulated a fortune of some 100000
Shortly after the close of the late war he COM
menced dissipated life. By excessive drinking
he became much enfeebled in body and demented
in mind While on one of his sprees, it is alleged
he became acquainted with the defendant. She
acquired such an influence over him that in
1870 he left his family and lived with
her, it is claimed, during the remainder of his
life in open adultery. In March, 1878, he con-
veyed to her for her benefit and the benefit Of the
children she claimed to have by him about S25 900
worth of real estate in this city and in Maryland.
This suit was brought to set aside those deeds.
After hearing of ten days Justice Cox rendered
an opinion, setting aside the deeds ON the ground
of incompetency in Mr.. Nailor to make them and
undue influence of the defendant. c. C. Cole ap-
peared for the complainants, and MesSrs. Caring;
