THE LEGISLATURE might. among
its other duties, take into consider
alton the advisability of further
continuing the poll-tax law. 1t is q
public nuisance, and has not the re-
deeming feature of answering any
kind Of public good. 1t prOfesst s
the imposition of an equal burden
upon prince and pauper, and to
that extent at least is improper.
because inequitable. If the roads
cannot be kept in good repair with
out such manifestly unjust ar
rdngemeRt, let there be an addition
made to the percentage levied upon
taxable property, and the amount
needed paid out of the public
treasury. Then those who use the
roads artifcially would pay the
most, while those who employ them
by virtue of natural right would
pay nothing. There is no other tax
so Objectionable to the public as the
pOll-tax, which in all its as
poets is offensive and unfair.
The sole aim of the originators of
the abomination is presumed TO
have been to reach with tax
class Of persons who have no pro-
oerty. 1t has never yet been made |
plain why those paupers should |
BAY any tax. But as a. matter Of
act the class sought to be reached |
escape, while those already taxed |
Ire logged for the s. a head. About
line-tenths of the people who pay
5he tax in anything but labor, feel
n their hearts that they are simply |
being robbed TO pay supervisor a
fee tor acting as official highway
man. If anybody can bring forward
4 solitary logical argument in favor
Of a poll-tax, the HERALD will say
no more against the abomination;
but unless such an argument can
be produced it believes it is doing
no more than is right by asking the
Legislature to repeal the law.

BERGH AND VACCINATION.

That highly respected crank, Mr..
Henry Bergh, of New York. has
found another hobby to ride. Like
other hobbies ridden by him this
one runs contrary to the intelli-
gence, education and best thoughts
OF the age. The thing which he is
now opposing is vaccination, and he
brings to bear in support Of his OPP
position all the recklessness of as
sertion and other disregard for facts
for which enthusiastic reformerS are
noted. Bergh has for years been
regarded as nuisance. AS a
society pest he is chronic. He loves
a dog or mule with a much deeper
affection than he has for his fellow
men. and his heart fairly runs out
in sympathy for rats and reptiles.
He would infict upon a man six
months of the tortures of a prison
cell and bread aud water for the
sake Of showing love for NANCY
cur or a kicking mule. But about
S characterization ideas and eff
forts. Singular enough he does not
suggest that the giving of the
disease to the heifer is a cruelty
which should condemn the practice,
though the entire human race should
die from the scourge; but he arrests
that vaccination does the subject
more harm than good, and that "the
human race is gradually rotting
away by reason of this deadly prac-
tice." 1t is hardly worth while to
suggest that medical men Of educa-
ton and intelligence take the di-
rectly opposite view. According to
Bergh's way of thinking that cir
cumStance only confirms him in the
correctness Of his position. 1t
amounts to nothing to say that the
facts and figures are all against him.
What have facts and figures to do
with the assertions of an enthusi-
asst? 1t is the verieSt nonsense to
say that since vaccination was in
troduced there has been a marked
and steady decrease, not only in
smallpox patients, but in the NOR
tally from the disease. Mr.. Bergh |
is one who can allege 10 the con-
Eary, and you are blind and stub
born if yen ge&use to accept his fig
ures inste@s &thOse known to be
correct. 8NHong other things
alleged by this crank in one of his
recent characterization articles is
this:
b the period of less than ore hundred
years that has elapsed since the iptrodpc-
ton Of this practice, millions upon mill
lions of sound and healthy humsn beings
have been inoculsted with the most
losthsome pestilence. doomed 10 carry to

These diseases to posterity.
He tries to make out that about
al the ills which aflict the human
family are directly chargeable 70
vaccination; but Enthusiastically
forgets that before the introduction
OF the practice, smallpox was
among the most fatal of diseases,
that ten were afflicted by it where
one eatcfes the contagion to-day,
and that physicians now do not re-
gard it as q very serious disease in
cases where the patients have been
properly yaceinated. AS to the
Of the race, We presume
there were crahks like Bergh who

The MATER ANALYSIS.
An Interesting series OF Tests-Thc
Probable Relation 10 Disease.

The city physicians are awaiting with
interest the proposed analysis OF our city
water by DR.. Smart of the National Board
of Health, and expect to CLEAN from the
result much information and great benefit
in the line of their profession. \ prior
engagement will prevent DR.. Smsrts at
tendance at the meeting, on the oath inst,
OF the State Medical Society, but the analyses
will begin shortly afterward.
At certain intervals, say fortnightly. u
quantity OF water will be analysed and
the result sent here. At the same
time our physicians will have
carefully noted the prevalence or absence
OF sny special disease and the relation be-
tween such prevalence or absence and the
! presence of certain animal or vegetable
, matter in the water will be observed and
the probable cause of the disease ascer-
tanned.
Our friends in Bellaire should be par
tiCularly interested in this series OF expert
mentS, as that city has been especially
scourged by diphtheria. 1t was and is still
thought that much Of this sickness was the
result of drinking water polluted by mat
ter dumped in az this city. One reason for
this belief was that diphtheria was as
prevalent in the best drained portions,
say Gravel Hill, as in any other. IL
is known that all of the refuse and night
soil from Wheeling are dumped IN the
river not a mile above the Bellaire water
works and pumped in with the water. 1t
was thought last year that the National
/ Board of Health would take some action in
| the premises, and it will undoubtedly do
SO tins year.
Wheeling water was selected for this
ANALYSIS on account of the freedom of the
! locality from all malarial diseases and the
result, of which full tidings will be given,
