THO POINTS COVERED.

No doubt the extreme dulness of the political
campaigns this season Is due, IN large measure,
to the prolonged session of Congress. Mem
hers are away from home. Their active friends
find it hard to Judge as yet, how the conduct OF
the absent members will be relished 10y con-
stituences. In IA broader SENSE, the campaign
waits for adjournment of Congress because,
while the law-makng body is still at work, it
is impossible to dete rhine in all respects to
what policy either party will find itself COM
mitted by the acts of its representatives, or
what most vulnerable points OF attack either
party will finally leave uncovered. But the line
oi division between parties in several important
matters has been clearly drawn by recent
events.
The circular just issued by Secretary Foger,
with formal approval by the President and
Cabinet plainly defines the position of the Re-
publican party in respect TO assessments Tor con-
tributons of officials and employees. The Dem
ocratic Journals have shown much eagerness to
discuss this subject upon the assumption that the
request made by Representative Hubbell was a
virtual assessment. There was nothing that
could be construed rs threat in his circular.
But it was alleged that the established Gus
tom of the party made the request In effect
demand supported by the certainty that
persons drawing salary from the Government,
IL they refused to contribute to party expenses
would soon find themselves drawing salaries
no longer. A charge of this sort it WAS NOT

doubt the wanton and wasteful extrava-

berated.
The Northwestern States have compare

appropriations for the Mississippi. Missouri

largely as any other, though only portion OF
the money may be spent within its limits

1t cannot be sad that this distribution OF

turns in great benefits to the whole country.
Unhappily many OF the appropriations cannot
be thus defended, and they are indeed with
out defence on any ground. 1t Is great
scandal that so mulch jObbng and fraud creep
into the scheme of internal improvements
every year, and the measure just passed may
perhaps be criticised more severely than 1t
deserves because it embraces many appro-
priations that should not have been made,
although, in its larger grants OF money, 1t Is
more reasonable and more justiiabe than
other River and HarboT bills of recent years.

tribune reporter al Coney Island yesterday. He said
he had gone away from Washington, first, because
his physicians had told him that he was threatened
with malaria, and secondly, because his own long
experience told him that the appropriation biils
were likely to be some days yet IN the conference
committees. "The report of the committee on the

L,eDrosy Among the chinese.

Leprosy exists among the Chinese to
greater extent than is generally sup
posed. 1t is one OF the most dreaded
of diseases in China. There is current
belief there that If person afflicted
with it can kill young girl and eat her

not appear in the face. and that he can
thus escape being known as "a ieper.
This notion has probably been the cause
of many murders. Tire lerer's demand

some affection, and fearing that, if de-
