To the Editor Of TIE EVENING STAR
"'This looks like business Is the remark made
by the Baltimore American In noting the unani-
moue action OF the Washington grand jury In In
dieting the star route plunderers and perjures."
It Is long since have seen anything In q news
paper that gave me more genuine pleasure than
the above short article In your issue Of the 23d in
slant. 1t must have brought the same feeling to
the heart OF every honest man in WASHINGTON
While leading journals Of both parties denounc-
ing the corruption OF the Washington press It Is
grsaiylng 10 US 70 know that we have at least one
Journal that Is absolutely incorruptible and un-
purchASabe, that possesses sufficient independence
and courage to call crimes and criminals by their
proper names, whatever may be the politics OF the
The present condition OF those thieving raseals
furnishes startling illustration OF the manner in
which Divine Providence 50 frequently intervenes
to guide criminal into the path that is surest to
lead to his conviction and punishment Had it
pot been for the fmpudent and defiant tone OF
Journals that everybody knew had been either
purchased outright or subsidized to champion the
cause OF the alleged criminals and abuse every
agent employed by the government to ferret out
their crimes, is very doubtful whether the grand
jury would have indicted them by a unanimous
cote. They must have lacked ordinary common
sense, or they would have known that the cham
pionshlp OF their cause by certain subsidized
journals would no them more harm than good,

It's power TO fnjure cause by its friendship, in

d!minishes, until finally it cannot advocate even
good cause without prejudicing the public mind
against it to a certain extent.
Whatever may be the result OF the trial before
the petit Jury, 1t must be gratifying to you and
backed by the unanimous opinion Of the grand

HITCH IN THE VACCINATION OF PUBLIC School


Health Officer Townshend yesterday sent note
to the District Commissioners stating that on the
18th instant he addressed the superintendent OF
the white and colored shoots stating that arrange
ments had been made to proceed at once upon a
Vacci nation OF the pupils In the various buildings
and requesting the assistance OF teachers in push
ing the work forward. The cooperation asked
was granted by the authorities Of the colored
schools, and the physicians went promptly to work
therein. In the case OF the white schools, how
ever, he was halted by the superintendent, who
informed him that he had no authority TO allow
the work to proceed without first having the con-
sent OF the board of trustees As the work I'm the
colored schools showed large percentage OF the
PUPILS 10 nave been entirely unprotected, and as
he believes the same will be found to be the case
In the white schools, he asks that such action be
taken as Will AVOID longer delay in affording the
needed protection to this class OF our population

The Sunday Item Libel Case.


This morning, in the Criminal Court, Judge Cox =,
the case OF Samuel 8. Lacey and John 4. Bruce,
the two colored men convicted on Thursday last
OF libel In publishing In the Sunday ten, an arti-
Gle charging that the Rowland Dental Association
had, by malpractice, broken the 1awbone OF one
VIM Joyce, &c, was taken up, and the motion for
new trial was argued by Mr.. Pelham and over
ruled. The court i'm passing sentence remarked
mat something should be done TO stop the publ
cation OF nbelous articles, and this, in his view,
was most outrageous libel He, however, did
not feel called upon TO nfiict severe punishment
and would impose a fine OF $50 on the applica-
uon OF the counsel Lacey and Bruce were allowed
70 leave the court TO secure the money.
The testimony alluded to in Wednesdays STAR
that DR.. Lincoln had treated parties who had been
injured at the Rowland rooms, was not connected
with the complaining witnesses, inasInuch as tt
was In the nature OF hearsay evidence, and the
party alleged to have been injured was not pro-
du led. The testimony of Drs- Welch and Hin was
ruled out for the same reason, and IL having teen
SHOWN that the HowlandS were out OF business for
two years, during which ii was charged by defend
ants some OF the alleged injuries occurred caused
the court and jury 10 regard the statements as
based on erroneous information.

Mr.. EDIToR.--Havii,g heard a
physician recommend beer drinking
as less injurious habit than that of
drinking alcohol in wines and liquors,
I beg you will publish the following
which seems to contradict such a
supposition:
"The constant use of beer is
found to produce a species of de-
graduation of all the organisms, pro-
found and dcep,seated, Fatty de-
posits, diminished circulation, con-
ditions of congestion, aud perver-
sion of functional activities, local
Inflammation of both the liver aud
Kidneys, are constantly present. In
tellectually, a stupor amounting al
most to paralysis arrests the reason,
precipitating all the higher faculties
into mere animalism, sensual,
selfish, sluggish, varied only with
paroxysms of anger that are sense
less and brutal. In appearance the
beer drinker may be the picture
of health, but in reality he is
most incapable of resisting disease.
A slight injury, severe cold, or
shock to the body or mind, will
commonly provoke acute disease,
ending fatally. Compared with in
ebriates who use different forms of
alcohol, be is more incurable and
more generally diseased. The con-
slant use Of beer every day gives
the system no time for reclpcration,
but steadily lowers the vital forces.
1t is our observation that beer-drink-
ing in this country produces the
very lowest forms Of inebriety,
closely allied to criminal insanity.
The most dangerous class of tramps
and rutfiians in our cities are beer
drinkers. 1t is asserted by compe-,
tent authority that tho evils of here
dity are more positive in this class
than from alcoholics. If these facts
are well founded, the recourse to
beer rs a substitute for alcohol
merely increases the danger and
fatality following. "-;Medical Re
cord,
Now, why drink these dangerous
drinks atJall =? They are only in
