CREMATION IS being dragged to
the front again. The will Of Carl
baldi was found to contain direc-
lions for the burning of his body
and preservation of the ashes. A
meeting of the New York Crema-
ton Society has just been held, at
which advanced ground favoring
cremation was taken by numerous
speakers. One member charged
that Trinity churchyard was solely
responsible for the yellow fever
epidemic of 1922. The system in
vogue in Naples was mentioned.
Three hundred and sixty-five burial
pits are constructed, one for each
day of the year, All who die in the
city on given day are cast into a
single pit, a thick layer of lime is
spread over the top, and the whole
is sealed up for just a year. The
sentiment of the meeting was of
course overwhelmingly in favor
of cremation, pure and simple.

TIE HERALD has 1requenly dS-
serted that the country would be a
great deal better off if the sessions
of Congress were fewer and much
farther between, and every succeed
ing session Of that body adds new
reasons and increased evidence in
SUPPORT of the idea. One Of the
most palpable illustrations of the
degeneracy Of American politics, is
the present quarrel which has COM
.menced over the attempt to have
the Hawaiian reciprocity treaty alb
rogated. 1t has been a bone of con-
tention for many months and
the dispute wakes more vehement
asithe period in which probable
action on the subject approaches. A
delegation in favor of the abrogation
of the treaty has just reached Wash
ingten, and the members thereof are
working like beavers" the dispatch
says. It is not necessary to state
that this delegation has not the well
fare of the country at heart. 1t is
the agent of a moneyed ring
which seeks to have the treaty abb
rOgated, not because it now is an in
jury TO the country, but because its
existence is a pecuniary detriment
to the paities who are seeking
for its abrogation. This case is
illustrative of a thousand other
such, which take up the entire at
tention of congressman, to the eX-
clusion of the genuine interests of
the nation. A congressman now
holds the dignifed position of the
drummer" for his district; and it
does not make the slightest differ
ence to him what may be the needs
of another section. The result is that
the meetings of Congress are but
assemblages of drummers bound
to work in the interest of indi-
vidual sections as against the
welfare of the whole. If it were
otherwise, why send delegations
and lobbyists to Washington ?
These delegations are not composed
of ADLER men, nor are they better
posted regarding the wants of the
nation than members of Congress
themselves; and if a general desire
for the welfare of the whole coun-
try was the uppermost wish Of SEN
ators and representatives, the cor
rupt lobby system would soon be-
come a thing of the past. The
whole nation is filed with job
bers whose representatives are in
Congress and congressman, in order
to insure a renewal of official honors,
must prostitute their talents to Sc
curing favorable measures for their
masters. Every year the practice
becomes more general and more
open of labOring in the interest of
individuals or isolated sections as
against the whole country, until
the time of this great body of men
not this body of great mez-is en-
tirely occupied in pla ming, scheem-
ing and log rolling for measures
which, from their specific charac-
ter, must be opposed to universal
public good. Is it to be wondered
at, in view of these changes, that
fewer sessions of Congress would
be of good to the people? Look at
the fast accumulation OF wealth
in the hands Of individuals and cor
porotions; see the unlimited power
they exercise, not only with the
law making branch of the govern
ment, but with the judicial, and
then contemplate if it is a public
benefit to have the annual meetings
OF drummers continued under the
title OF sessions Of Congress-"

THE New YORK Tinass tells Of
nine infants who had been vacci-
mated in an English provincial town
being taken with erysipelas, appar-
emily as a consequence of the opera
ton. AS several of the children
died the matter attracted so much
attention that the cases were made
the subject of a special public in
quiry. The results are now issued
in a parliamentary paper, which
contains lessons beyond any limit of
locality in their application. 1t ap-
pears that nothing in the cases war
rants the use of them as an argu-
ment against skillful vaccination.
Nor was the fatality endemic or due
to local causes. The trouble arose
from the use of ivory points. The
operator seems to have been a SLOW
emily person of an economic turn of
nind9and his custom was to use the
ivory points over and over again,
cleansing them, according to his
views of cleanliness, between
operations: The result of a
failure to remove the adherent
nymph is believed to have been that
some of the material underwent a
putrefactive change. The point
was then in condition precisely
similar to the poisoned missiles
used by some savages, who are &C
customed to tip their arrows and
spears with splinters of bone, on
which putrescent matter has been
allowed to dry. The result was as
described. The first lesson is that
in no case should a point be used
a second time. There is no neees-
sity for it. II economy prevents
regarding an exhausted ivory point
as wasted material, a quill splinter
,
should be used. No less important
is The warning that vaccin-
alton should rot be per-
formed in a casual, haphazard way,
and no person should yaccinate
himself to save the fee of a physi-
clan. Such economy may be suici-
dal, and is, at best, silly. One dan.
ger is, that the vaccine carelessly
secured, will be weak rather than
deadly. "The inslstence upon per-
feet cleanliness in instruments as
well as in points, will not seem
strange if it is remembered that the
mere bite of a 'carrion-hunting fv
has more than once proved fatal.
Caution against the introduction of
septic particles into the incised
skin, is as necessary in vaccination
as in any other minor operation.
however slight. There is no sniff
cientIs doubt of either the benefit or
essential safety of vaccination. but
it viii do no harm to treat it with
somewhat more caution and respect
than has lately been common"

The s. s. Institute.

The Sunday School Institute held
by the Baptists at Ovid last week is
said to be the largest in point of atten-
dance ever held by them and in point
of interest and enthusiasm one of the
best. Much is said in praise of the
generous hospitality with which the
Ovid Baptists entertained their
friends.
While it was thought by some that
the programme was so crowded as to
be unwieldy, yet every topic was pre-
sented in order and at the proper time
by the person appointed with one
single exception. The discussions
were excellent. While more time
might proftably have been spent
discussing some of the topics, the
hints that were given were SO replete
with good suggestions, that the Sun
day School workers will find no trou-
BILE in amplifying them.
Perhaps that which touched all
hearts most deeply during the Insti-
tute was the sermon Thursday even
ing by Rev. J.. R. Stone d. D., the
newly elected pastor of the Baptist
church at Lansing. His theme was
"Jesus Only" To say that it was an
eloquent discourse gives but faint
description.
If word only were said of all the
good things presented and if all who
participated, were named it would
take more time and space than your
paper could we'll afford. No one in
attendance will soon forget much that
was said. Especially will they remem:
Der the words of Mrs. Swegles Of
St. Johns, who thrilled and electrified
every one by her earnest timely re-
marks drawn from a rich experience
of many years. Nor will they forget
the many excellent things said by
the State Superintendent, Rev. E. ID.
Rundell. The thanks of the Insti-
tute, and especially of the Conductor,
are due to Miss Clara Osburn for val
liable assistance in leading the sing
ing and also to Dea. and Mrs. White.
The next Institute is invited to be at
Perry. The Executive Committee
will decide on the matter at their
next meeting.
Personally, the Conductor thanks
all of the members of the Institute
for their promptness in taking the
parts assigned them and for their
courtesy. Much credit is also due
Rev. ]. M. Lackey, the Ovid pastor,
for the success Of the Institute.

The Tariff Tacklers
IN THE QUAKER CITY.

PHILADELPHIA, October 4.-At the ses.
sion of the tariff commission to-day Profess
sor Summer, of Yale college New Haven,
Connecticut, read paper on the relation
of protective taxes to wages. He appeared
as professional student of political econ
omy, and his argument was that protective
tariffs did not aim to produce good
government, or to accomplish any
civil purpose at all. Their aim
was industrial. They were planned to help
some people to get o living. Anything
that lessened the number of persons COM
peting for wages, or that increased the
amount of capital, increased, wages. 1t
was impossible to raise wages by opposing
cheapness and abundance. The protective
system lessened wealth and enhanced the
cost of all articles of clothing, furniture,
crockery utensils, tools, and machinery.
He denied the allegation that protection
brought capital into use which wou'
otherwise be idle, and he asserted that the
rate of wages obtained here was due to
economic forces at work. There was only
one thing that could reduce American
wages to European standards and that was
protective taxes applied long enough and
with sufficient weight. Mr.. Sumner wanted
all protective taxes abolished, and said II
halt the list of dutiable articles were put on
lhe free list ana the duty on the other
half reduced so per cent. the revenue
would be doubled. II more reserve was
wanted
Mr., Kenner-"Tben | understand that
you do not want to abolish customs and
duties. | understood you TO say just now
that you would abolish all taxes. "
Sumner-"All protective taxes"
K"nner-"All protective taxes. All i'm
p)rt duties"
Sumner-"I did rot say all import du-
ties lot by any means. you had duties
on tea. coffee or pepper they would
MT be protective taxes. A tax on
wine might be a protective tax.

A NOTED LAWSUIT,


New York, October l2.-The Times New
Orleans special says; An ordinance was
passed by the council which disposes of the
well known litigation between the city of
New Orleans and the New Orleans, Mobile
& Texas railway, which began about the
year 1870. The case had been appealed to
the Federal supreme court, and was TO
have come up this week. City Attorney
Buck had made all preparations TO go TO
Washington on Monday, when he was ~
formed negotiations were in progress look
ing to a compromise. The representative
of the company at first offered the CITY So
UOO and finally agreed TO pay over $4,000,
on condition that the grants under legisla-
tive acts were confirmed and the whole
matter declared settled. The oiler was ac-
cepted, the council passed the ordinance
and il was signed by the mayor. The
money was Immediately appropriated TO
