whom he associates. We believe there is
no valid excuse for such neglect.
With regard to revaccination the facts
are, that certain number of persons are
protected for life by one vaccination. while
the protection of others extends to but a
limited and variable period. Hence as we
are without the power to distinguish be-
tween these classes, revaccination is as
essential as primary operation. 1t should
be performed at every season of an cpl
demic diffusion of the disease, and it is
prudent to repeat it at intervals of few
years even though no epidemic prevails.
We earnestly recommend that local
boards of health throughout the State. take
measures to secure the vaccination of all
children IN attendance upon the public
schools, who have not been vaccinated
within five years. and that they use their
influence to impress this duty upon all cit
liens, and we advise as n measure of wise
economy that this be done at public ex-
pense wherever it may be necessary to in
sure its thorough performance.
Should small pox unfortunately appear
in any community, we earnestly recommend
the adoption of the following rules:
ISOLATION.
Thoroughly isolate and quarantine every
case that may occur, and keep it so ssolat-
ed until all danger that the disease can be
communicated is past If the patients be
kept i'll private house, 1t is better that the
uppermost rooms of the house be used for
the purpose.

Mr.. Dunnell, the Congressman
from the First district of Minnesota,
has left his duties at Washington, and
gone home to overhaul his fences for
q denomination. In speaking of his
arrival, the Winona Republican says:
"a few of his friends were at the
train TO meet him, among whom were
Messrs. J. /. Brink, Geo. I. Flint,
VIM. Gale, L. Jordan, and c. H. Slo-
cum"
That is pretty good, when we re-
member that c. H. Slocum is but a
few days out of the Winona county
jail where he has served a term for
tampering with the mails while post
master at Blue Earth City. Of such
are Mr.. Dunnell's friends. He will
hardly be returned to Congress.

Republican County Convention.

The Republicans of this county held
their convention in this city, pursuant
to call, Thursday evening to elect a
delegate to the district convention to
be held at Eau Claire, August I'd,
when candidate for congressional
honors will be nominated. A. Zachau
was called to the chair, and VIM. Cox
elected secretary.
The greatest question seemed to be
or not to be, "a man or a mouse
or a long tailed rat" i. e., shall
we declare preference for some indi-
yidual to represent US in Congress, or
shall we stand without an opinion
ready to "catch on" to the coat tail
of the man who has the longest pole
at the district convention. 1t was
finally decided to adopt the latter
course and the delegate goes unin-
structcd.
After it was decided to assume this
brilliant position, Mr.. a. Zachau and
Mr.. Clinton Ansley were nominated
for such delegate, election by ballot.
The result of the ballot was, Clinton
Ansley . votes, and A. Zachau q.
While Mr.. Ansley is at liberty to vote
for whom he pleases in the convention,
he is a pronounced Humphrey man,
and will do what he honestly can for
that gentleman, with Mr.. Price as sec
ond choice. Perhaps it is just as well,
yet we do not think it wonld have
been very great disgrace to the Re
publicans of the county had they
plainly expressed their preference by
instructing their delegate, as, if we
mistake not, there is somewhere re-
corded a PRECEDENT for so doing, But
we are satisfied, and hope you all are

Or. Snyder on ingcrs9II.

The Rev. DR.. Snyder preached
last evening at the Church of the
Messiah on " A Liberal Christians
Judgment Oh Ingcrsollism.n lie
said that men did not crowd into
the lecture room wholly out of en-.
riosity to see Mr.. Ingersoll or ia
listen to his wit, but because he
represented the opinions of thou
sands of rational persons, aud that
a large number of those who went
to hear him endorsed his ideas.
1t was foolish for any one to assert
that inddelity had been answered.
We should not accept the old say
ing, and De ashamed to open the
ancient armor of faith and combat
the old enemy. Calvinism was the
only true philosophical orthodoxy,
and it would be stronger if il
would only stand without the aid
of the Scriptures. If all that was
written in the Bible its history,
biography and sOngs-were iuspi-
red by God, Mr.. Ingersoll was jus.
tilted in saying what he does about
it. There was no sense in Ortho-
dox ministers distorting the Bible
to uphold their doctrine. Ration.
al minds know how to interpret
those portions of the Bible that
treat of immortality and barbarity,
and the theories of MIR. Ingersoll
were as shallow as those of Mr..
Talmage, which were shallow
enough. The living creed of men
overy where was different from the
creed written in books. God is q
spirit, and those who worship him
must worship him in the spirit.

There is an excnse for lack Of

have TO write about two miles per
day, aud they ought not to be

over ten acres of paper per day
were not thrilling. They did not
catch the public eye, but were inst
naturally consigned TO Cbl yion's

The public, it seems TO MS, has
created false standard of merit
for the newspaper. People take a

ted is TO prepare a bill which will
reduce the internal revenue taxes
sS0,O0O.OO0. This involves the re-
duction of the tax on whisky, to-
baeco, beer, cigars and special
licenses to fifty per cent, aud the
complete abolition Of the taxes
upon bank checks, deposits, saw
ings, matches and proprietary
stamps. The only Republican in
either house who is expected To
oppose all measures except the
complete abolition of internal rev.
enue taxes, is Judge Kelly. lie
intends, at the very outset, to pro
pose the reduction of all internal
revenue taxes, aud he will use all
the influence which the chairman
ship Of the Committee on Ways
aud Means gives him to accom-
plish this. But he will neither
have the help of the majority of
his own nor the opposing party.
Ii is to be expected that he will, in
fact, bolt the Republican party, as
he threatened to do last spring.
Ii is quite possible that he will
carry his opposition so far as that,
with the aid of some Democrats
aud Greenbackers, he will be able
TO prevent the partial reductions
of taxations that will be proposed.
But he hardly has the physical
strength necessary to make such
resistance as will be necessary TO
defeat all reductions. Further
talks with members of both houses
continue to show that there is n
strong sentiment among the Re.
publicans against any reduction of
the tax on whisky, and the idea of
abolishing the internal revenue
system seems to he seriously en-.
tertaincd by very few of them. 1t
is noticeable that ut the same time
there seems to be n willingness on
the part Of leading members in
both houses to go further in re.
ducing the tax on tobacco than
they we're willing to go last scs-
sion. A reduction from fifteen to
twelve cents was carried in the
Senate only by a close vote. Now,
Senators who were not then will
ing to 90 further, favor a reduc.
tion of eight cents, or one-half the
present tax.
The suggestion which las been
made that the tax on tobacco
should be abolished altogether led
to the preparation of an estimate
in the Internal Revenue Bureau
of the cost of collecting the whisky
tax alone. This showed that il
would require the service of 300t
persons, and would cost not lest
than S2,S3O,000. The entire cos
Of the present service is aj,330, 900
To collect the whisky alone thci

of land have been reported with

also been published about the
operations of the buyers of a
third domain. Each of these con-
veyances is typically un-Ameriean

therein by several parties.
One of the bargains was closed
in Texas. Representatives of a
syndicate went to Austin and
bought in lump, apparently with
out more ado than two boys would
display swapping jack-knives, A.

a matter-Of-tact way: "This is the
