disease. Boards of Health have to take
into consideration the element Of public
dr., adj. 1t may be that the susceptibility
of the system to the contagion is greater
sometimes than others, in which case the
tendency to epidemic will OF course be
greater. But all preventive measures
should be adopted, the fact whether the
disease is epidemic or not is of no conse-
quence. 1t cannot exist in the absence
of conditions. and the business of the
authorities is to destroy the disease. The
people have likewise a duty to perform.
They have to see to it that every member
of family unvaccinated shall be vacc-
mated without delay. And they have to
see to the thorough publication of their
own premises. Having done So much. it
remains for the authorities to complete
the known deiences by purifying the city.
Surprising all this to have been attended
to. the disease cannot spread. Stamp it
out.

MES Responsibility.
New York Times, January r9.
An attachment was granted by Judge
Barrett, an supreme court, chambers,
yesterday, against property in this city
belonging to William H. English, of
Indiana, the democratic candidate tor
vice-president at the last presidential
election. Some time ago William d.
Murphy brought suit against Mr.. En-
glish to recover 81 ,ISo, which he claims
is due him by the defendant for deliv-
ering democratic speeches in Indiana
during the presidential campaign. The
application for an attachment was
made by M. A. Gearson, counsel for
Murphy.
Indianapolis, January 1S.-The Hon.
w. H. English was seen by a Journal
representative, and he gave for publ
cation statement respecting the suit
said to have instituted in New York
against him by one William D. Muir
ply, for political services during the
last campaign, an attachment issuing
against his property. Mr.. English
said: l am not aware of owing Muir
ply anything, but will certainly be able
to pay it when the claim is shown to
be valid. Whatever / may have had
to do with Murphy was as chairman of
the democratic state central committee,
and in no other capacity. There was
a man here Of that name, who made
some very unsatisfactory speeches
during the campaign, but his expenses
were paid at the time, if am not mis-
taken. Subsequently he did some
work for Senator Mcdonald and Mr..

The universally of poison in nature is one
of the most remarkable revelations that chem
istry makes. 1t exists in fish, in certain animals,
in the air we breathe, in the water we drink, in
the grass, the leaves of the trees. and even
the flowers that appear so beautiful. And in
our daily concerns we meet with arsenical
pigments in wall papers, arsenical dyes in
cotton fabrics, such as curtains, chintz, tarle
tans, etc in artists water colors and COM
mon paint, as well as in lithographic printing
and tin-plate work. Poison is also found in
artificial flowers, lamp shades, hy-papers,
cardboard boxes, labels, etc. 1t is encoun-
tered on every hand, and seems to be univer-
sal in nature.

DOWN-TRODDEN IRELAND.

The following letter from the most
Rev. DR.. Croke, will illustrate the man
ner in which a gentleman's privacy is

land:
To the editor Of the Freeman.
THE PALACE, THURLEs, Jan. 2, 'S2.
MY Dear Sir wish to call the at
tention of the chief secretary for Ire
land to the following statement, and
respectfully, but earnestly, to ask him
whether he approves of the proceed
ings to which it refers. We're l even
slightly acquainted with Mr.. Forster l

instance to address myself directly to
him; but, as such is not the case, l
hope it will not be thought discourte-

1t has been pretty generally known
for some time over the south of Ireland
that bazaar is to be held in Thurles,
for a purely local purpose, on We'd

As is usual in similar cases, a commit

and partly of ladies', had taken charge
of the numerous preliminary arrange

This committee was to have held its
final meeting by appointment yester-
day Sunday in the Presbytery, at two
O'Clock. Information to that or some
such effect must have reached the po-
lice barrack here, for late on Saturday
evening last the head constable of
Thurles called at the Presbytery, and
stated to the Rev. James Cantwell, ad-
ministrator of this parish, that he had
been told that a land league meeting
was to be held in the Presbytery on the
following day. Father Cantwell there
upon, not only positively assured him
that such was not the fact, but further
more fully and faithfully informed him
as to what was really to take place.
This appeared to satisfy the head
constable and he accordingly went his
way. At all the masses in
our cathedral yesterday it was
announced that a meeting of the bazaar
committee would be held in the Presby-
terry at about O'Clock that day. AT the
time appointed two constables present
ed themselves for admittance at the
presbytery, and, as it was supposed
they had come to purchase tickets, they
were at once introduced, and quietly
took their stands in the room where the
committee was assembled. 1t soon
however became apparent that the con-
stables, instead of having come to pur--
chase tickets for the bazaar, were look
ing out for suspects" for Kilmain-
ham, and Father Cantwell accordingly
requested them to retire, assuring
them, at the same time, most emphati.
cally, that the meeting was of purely
charitable nature, and had no connec-
ton whatever with politics. The con-
stables refused to leave, notwithstand-
ing this assurance. They held their
ground Tor nearly twenty minutes, and
