Bloomington Bulletin "Much de-
nunciation has been showered upon the
state board of health, and DR.. Rauch, the
secretary, has been made the subject of wit
in not few Of the newspapers. The Bull
etin has occasionally sent a good-natured
shaft at the doctor and the board. But
justice requires that the efficacy of the
board and the industry and the competency
Of the secretary should be recognized. In
the matter of the yellow fever in Cairo in
1S7S.70, DR.. Rauch was EVERYTHING in the
discharge Of his duty, and we are confident
that to his vigilance the people of that part
| of the state are indebted for the tact that
| the disease was no more fatal than it WAS
| that in 1878 it was promptly stamped out
and in 1879 its presence in the state was
| prevented. In the matter Of the late small.
pox epidemic, the labors of Dr. Rauch con-
| tributed in great degree to the skillful
handling of the disease by our people and
its complete stamping out. He undertook
his work in the face of many difficulties
| and the hilarlty of the wits of the store
| box and street corner. But with his pecu
| liar pluck he stuck to his work, and as a
consequence, there is not to-day a small
| pox case in Illinois outside Of Chicago and
only five cases in that city. The doctor has
at last successfully organized system of
reporting and is now receiving a report of
every case that has been in the state.
BY this system of disease reports,
DR.. Rauch will obtain valuable statistics
aud produce valuable mass Of statistics,
which will give the history of each case
and the total cost of the disease to the peo-
pie of the state The doctor estimates that
the cost Of the late small pox epidemic was
about 100000. 1t cost Chicago for virus
alone $4,000, and in this estimate is not
included what was spent for virus by private
individuals A half million dollars was
expended by the city. At least 100000
school children were vaccinated"

there, The committee on cre-
dentials reported all counties represented
by properly appointed delegates. The
Damron delegation from Alexander county
was admitted to seats, There were but
two or three OF the Thomas delegation
present.
The proceedings were very harmonious,
and quiet almost to dullness. 1t was in
marked contrast to the Cairo congressional
convention.
There were several candidates before the
convention, but the most prominent were
Mr.. Reeves, of Union county, and Mr.. j.
NJ. Scurock, of Jackson county. Both were
put in nomination by friends in neat
little speeches and then the balloting be-
gan. 1t was evident from the first ballot
that there would not be much of fight
and that Scurlock was much the stronger
man; and the second ballot decided the
matter, Scurlock being nominated and
greeted with loud cheers. Mr.. Scurlock
was loudly called for for a speech, but re-
sponded very briefly as he is not at all a
speaker, 1t was late in the afternoon be.
fore the convention adjourned.

AN OCEANIC HIGHWAY.

The continued increase of ocean traf-
fic between America and Great Britain,
and the consequent increasing danger of
collision at night, and during fogs, and
the desirability of keeping steamers be-
tween certain parallels of latitude so
that aid could be sent in case of disabii-
ity, has again brought into prominence
the question of Atlantic elaine routes"
for steamers. For sailing vessels, of
course, the laying out of route would
be useless, as their courses are entirely
dependent on wind and tide, and there
fore irregular and uncertain. In letter
to the Nautical Gazette, a steamship
commander presents new scheme which
he thinks will serve all desired ends. He
proposes to lay down lane or neutral
ground across the Atlantic-say q Jane
thirty miles wide-and let the east bound
steamers track lay south of the southern
edge of the lane, and the west bound
steamers north of the northern edge of
the lane, then each line can instruct its
commanders the distance to be kept from
the borders of the lane" According to
this plan every steamship line can have
a wide margin within which to select the
tracks its vessels shall pursue, but never
within the lane of neutral ground. The
plan, though incomplete, certainly de-
serves careful consideration, as obviating
the chief objection urged against the
fixed routes hitherto prescribed, which
is that they are arbitrary and confne all
lines to a single route each way. 1t fully
admits OF the exercise of variant judg-
ment on the part of steamship command
ers rs to the most eligible paths across
the ocean, and it provides that the class
of frail steamers of the "ocean tramp"
species, sailing We ssels and disabled
steamers may be found within the lane,
and will know which way to steer if they
want assistance or tOwage, as they are
near the American or European shore"
The New York Herald commends the
plan for some of its points, but prefers
the plan recently presented by Captain
Mckay by which Atlantic steamers would
follow two "lanes thus forming almost
continuous lines across the ocean. Ship
masters as a class are too independent to
be governed by regulations Of this kind,
and while the benefits of mutual agree
ment concerning regular eastward and
westward routes are plainly apparent. it
must be said the hope of thorough
adoption by them of any given plan is
vague and ethereal.

AMERICAN VS.. GERMAN FARMERS.

An interesting comparison between the
German and American husbandmen is
drawn by the German author, Heinrich
Senior, in volume on the insignifcance
of North American competition IN agri-
culture. The fact is strongly noticeable
that the American farmer always comes
out ahead where q parallel is drawn be-
tween him and his German compeer, who
is his equal as to property. The former
is more active and prudent. If he is too
poor to possess improved farm machin-
cry, he hires them, and all his tools, even
to the smallest, are of the best pattern
and material. In a small household de-
tail, that of coffee-mills, Herr Senior
notices the fact that in Germany the
coffee-mill is still held between the
knees, while in America 1t is screwed to
the wall, thus saving half the labor. In
Germany it generally takes three men to
shoe horse while IN America one is suf-
ficient. The apron used by German
workmen impedes them in climbing and
even walking; the American apron is slit
up the middle to the hight of the legs, and
the two halves are bound round the
ankle, which is both more comfortable
and better protects the clothes. In some
parts of Germany the laborer eats five
times day, and during the harvest
time takes even six meals, and
this habit alone will enable the
American who eats only three times
daily, but better, to compete sue.

How to Kill the Blues.

From the Chrisuan commonwealth
Generally speaking, if you are troub-
led with " blues" and can not tell why,
you may be certain that it springs from
physical weakness. Instead of lying on
sofa and counting painful ideas if you
are Responding lover, hypochondriac
or valetudinarian, you should be up
and stirring yourself. The blood of a
melancholy man is thick and slow,
creeping sluggishly through his veins,
like muddy water in canal; the blood
of your merry, chirping philosopher is
clear and quick, brisk as a newly
preached champagne. Try, therefore,
to set your blood in motion. To effect
this don't go to guzzling down brandy
smashes, gin-cocktails or any of the
other juggling compounds in which
alcohol is disguised, for every artificial
stimulant will drag you down two de-
grees for every one it lifts you up. The
devil always beats US in barter. Try,
rather, what smart walk will do for
you; set your legs in motion on rough,
rocky ground, or hurry them up steep,

THE DEATH PENALTY.

Governor Long, of Massachusetts, in
his annual message, recently sent to the
legislature, takes strong ground against
the infiction of the death penalty, and
speaks as follows: 81 renew my pro-
test against the barbarism, inefficiency,
and peril to innocence of capital punish
ment. Failing its abolition, / earnestly
urge you to leave to the jurg-the best
and safest of tribunals-the question of
its infiiction. This will make conviction
surer, will meet most fully the circum-
stances of each case, and, while still pre-
serving the terror of the death penalty,
if there be any virtue in that, will be
more in harmony with the human spirit
of the age. The pretense of insanity
will not then succeed, as it now too often
does. Should you abolish the death
penalty, you might substitute for it the
severest form of imprisonment. Let me
remind you, quoting the substance of
another's summarization, first, that the
present uncertainty of the death verdict
lessons the deterrance of the death
penalty; second, that with its abolition
for smaller offenses, their number, in
proportion to the increase of population
and the facilities of their commission,
has diminished; and, third, in civilized
communities, where it has been totally
abolished, murders have not become
more frequent. Rhode Island is an in
stance. Statistics show also that the
pardoning power is not abused in rela-
ton to sentence for murder in the first
degree when committed from death to
imprisonment for hfe."
