AN AMUSING SPECTACLE.

Nothing more ludicrous has been seen
upon the journalistic stage than the spec
sacle of the San Francisco Chronicle, burned
By FIRE on one side and frozen by icabergs on
the other. In one breath it warns the city
of San Francisco that it has no right to de.
stroy the water companys capacity to
earn profits, and in the next it demands
that the only essential element of owner
ship in railroad property, the right to con.
troll it's earning capacity, shall be denied it.
In other words, it objects to the application
Of the cinching process in one case, but
would apply it vigorously in another, and
analogous one.

BREATHE THROUGH THE NOSE Doctor
Ward, Physician to the Metropolitan Throat
Hospital, in an article on singers throat
troubles, in the Musical Critic, treats of
the various kinds of catarrhal troubles ex-
perienced by public singers, and repeats
the well.known fact that the nose is the
only channel through which air should pass
during ordinary acts of breathing, the
mouth being intended only as an accessory
breathing agent when, on certain occa-
sions-as, for instance, running lungs
demand rapid supply of air. The air, in
passing through thenostrils, is warmed and
ssifted Of it's harmful ingredients, and thus
prepared for its reception into the delicate
structures below. If it passes directly into
the mouth without the above preparation,
it will frequently cause irritation and in
flammstion Of the mucous membrane, lin
ing the mouth and throat, by being, in the
first place, too cold, and, in the second
place, by containing irritating Particles OF
dust and other matter.

WELL DONE.

The country ia to be congratulated that
a reference has been made of the resolu.
ton to terminate the Hawaiian reciprocity
treaty, in the United States Senate, that
in all probability insures its being heard
no more of for another year. The treaty
was in the direction of sound policy, and
is the chief guarantee we have for com.
mercial supremacy on the Pacific. We
have frequently and fully discussed its pro.
visions and the relations this country holds
with the island kingdom. and demonstra.
ted the necessity of maintaining this
important convention, if for no other rea.
son, for the harbor advantages secured to
the navy. Under it we have been gsiner

THE LESSONS TAUGHT.

Now that it is established beyond doubt
that the recent great floods of the Ohio and
of other Western rivers were due to the I'M.
protected character of TIE watershed where
those streams had their rise, we are fur
nished an unanswerable argument for the
proposed schemes TO stop the clearing of
of forests on headwaters, and one equally
as strong in favor OF admitting Canadian
lumber free, in order that the denudation
of the wooded slopes may be the more
easily checked. The rapid destruction of
Northern forests must cease, or many

The Tewksbury Investigation.

BosToN, May 16.-The testimony in the
Tewksbury investigation to-day was by physi-
clans connected with the Harvard medical
school, and was mainly corroborative of that
given yesterday. A long discussion ensued
over the claim ofGov. Butler that the defense
was trying to evade the questions as to the
manner in which the students obtained the
bodies of infants for dissection. The discus
sion relative TO the statements made by DIR.
Dixwell as to the trade in infants and other
practices in the dissecting room at the Har-
ward medical school occupied q largo part OF
the session.
Mr.. Brown claimed the governor was
squirming under the counter evidence deny
ing Dixwells statement and sought to evade
the issue by charging opposing counsel with
misrepresenting the case. He (Brown) would
stop any further testimony on that point il
the governor would disclaim that he intends
to use for any purpose the fact that Dixwell
testified that there were babies in Harvard
medical school while he (DixwelD was there,
and whi ch came from Tewksbury.
Gov. Butler emphatically declined, and wit
ness continued. He said Dixwell was erratic
and peculiar, and he would not say his repu-
tation for veracity was good. 1t was bad and
witness believed him not responsible. After
further testimony against Dixwell's character

Reduced Gas Bills.

The Welcome report reaches US that the
Washingtb bn Gaslight company, concerning
whose hokgishness and obstinate disregard Of
the opinidns and rights Of the public so much
has been bald and written is on the point of
making What to it must be a very great con-
cession. II is said, or to he more accurate,
it is vag bely limited, that tho gas company
is about 10 offer to reduce the price of gas
to $3.50 per thousand feet, and that
proposition to that effect will soon be
made to the district commissioners.
If this rumor should turn out to be
true the people would have reason for rc-
joicing, unless it should be developed that
this concession is merely part of IL scheme
whereby the cormorant concern will harvest
dollars for tho cents sown, The Washington
Gaslight company is not an institution ad-
dicted to tho habit of giving away money
or advantages, and we are curious
to know what it asks of tho commissioners in
return for the generous reduction II is pro-
posing to grant at the point Of the bayonet
1t is probable tho representatives. Of the con-
cern will insist upon tearing up the
streets in the most populous quarter Of
the city to lay new mains and otherwise
strengthen its grip on the district, II is safe
to assume that the company does not intend
to give something for nothing, and it would
be the part of good sense for the commission
ers to go slow before committing themselves
to anything in the nature of contract
with the gas company without letting
the people know all about 1t. 1t
would not be wise for tho commissioners
to bind themselves TO any sort of policy OK
tending beyond tho time of the meeting Of
congress. The people look to congress for re-
lief, and any move that savors of an at
tempt to lull tho public to sleep by the ac-
ceptance of voluntary surrender of u portion
of what can be had in its entirety by waiting
few months will be regarded with suspicion

The pI.,hnrrsd Policemen.

Relative to the required age of newly ap-
pointed policemen in the district and the OK
clusion of union veterans of tho late war, Il
must be remembered that all of the fifteen
recently discharged officers were veterans,
and that many Of them, after from ten to
twenty years service as policemen, had not
reached the age of 45 years, as was shown
by The REPUBLICAN recently. But four
of them were SO years of age. Some
of tho discharged policemen in q
communication to The REPUBLICAN
complain that but one surgeon was member
of the board that condemned them for invol-
untary discharge, while three surgeons con-
stituto the board of examination for appli-
cants. Complaint is also made that majority
of those discharged arc from tho section of
the city in which this police surgeon is To-
Gated They contend that the whole board of
surgeons should have passed upon their cases
before final judgment was taken, and that the
two officers who constituted the board with
the police surgeon merely certified to what
the lattor stated concerning the physical con-
dition of tho men,

A Verdict OF $4,000.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May 16.-In the court
of common pleas to-day the jury in the case
of Mark spicker against tho Pennsylvania
Railway company gave verdict in favor of
the plaintiff for $1,000 Spicker, who is q
travelling salesman, took passage in Novem-
ber, 1881, from this city for Williamsport and
presented to the conductor the return slip of
an excursion ticket from Williamsport to
Philadelphia. The conductor declined to ac-
cept the ticket and elected Spicker in the
open country on the Northern Central rail-
way, above Harrisburg, in tho midst of a
drenching rain The company claimed in
defense that the ticket presented had been
purchased two years before, and that the
company had endeavored to call in such
tickets by extensive advertising. Thejudge
charged the jury that the election under the
circumstances was an outrage, and that the
question of the liability of the company was
the only one for their consideration.

How Lees Army was counted.


When Lees army was passing through
Chambersburg, Pa, in 1863, ON tho way to
Gettysburg, Mr.. Messersmith, the cashier of
the bank, took a station on the bank steps
and undertook to ascertain tho number of
rebels, tallying every hundred men on slip
of paper in his hand, A rebel officer ordered
him to desist under threat of being placed in
arrest. Mr.. Messersmith bowed and proceeded
to his barn and obtained 100 grains of corn,
VIII ich he held in his right hand, which was
thrust into his pantaloons pocket. He again
took his stand on the steps Of the bank, and
for every hundred men that passed he dropped
@sraia of corn. When his hand was empty
he had numbered 10000 men, and then he
gathered the grains up again to repeat the
enumeration. Thus he stood in tho hot sun
and, indeed, the weather was scorching at
tho tine-counting until he had numbered
the entire host, amounting TO 10000, men,
During the night he communicated TO Gov.
