Governor CieVeland's nomination can
only be regarded at present as a very re,
mote contingency. If he should be
chosen at all it would be because it was
believed no other Democrat could carry
New York. Should the Governor continue
on in the honest and fearless course he
has thus far pursued, the Independent
voters OF New York would support him
for President in preference 10 any ma
chine-made Republican candidate. And

Malaria.

MaIarial diseases and the causes OF
malaria are not thoroughly understood.
Scientists are investigating these subjects
with increasing interest. Malaria Is not
confined to any particular part of the
world or to particular localities. 1t Is
well-nigh universal. 1t is found in low
marshy regions and in billy dis
tricts hundreds of feet above the
level Of the sea. In this
country it prevails 10 a greater extent,
perhaps, in the South than in any other
section. although in the West, IN locali-
ties which are being opened to settlement,
its presence is very marked. Turning up
the soil fOT the first time seems to release
the poison Along the lines Of railways,
therefore, which are being constructed
malarial fevers prevail extensively. The
mouths Of rivers, which empty into the
sea. are recognized as fayorite seats OF ma
larfa. Ifthe rivers are sluggish, and choked
by vegetation and mud. the poison
is intensified. The most malariOus coun-
try in the world, perhaps, is Italy. There
is hardly any part Of it that is free from
malaria. Filth does not seem to aggra-
vate or produce the poison. The dirtlest
parts Of Rome are comparatively free
from malarial feyers. While the arist0-
cratic portions are troubled with them to
a marked degree. The extent to which
malarial diseases prevail in Italy has IN
duced the War Department OF that gov
eminent to investigate malaria for the
purpose Of finding out the best way to get
rid of it, The work was undertaken by
the War Department because of the vast
expense entailed by malarial diseases in
the army. This expense is estimated at
s., 600, 600 year.
The report of the department has been
published. 1t contains many valuable
facts and suggestions. 1t declares mala-
ria to be 1.-The product Of vegetable de-
composition in connection with moisture
of the soil, especially in sandy soils"
According to the report, the only cure for
the evil is proper drainage and thorough
cultivation Of the soil. Trees in malarious
districts are thought to be beneficial. As
a rule, malaria disappears where there Is
thorough cultivation. In this connection
the observations Of NJ Richard, a French
scientist. respecting the parasite OF ma
laria. is interesting. The HedjcGl ami Sur
GicoI Reporter says the observations of
NJ. Richard seems to affirm those Of
Levereau: he found in the red corpuscles
Of the blood of persons suffering from
acute malaria a parasite Of Oscillating
form moving very rapidly, and sometimes
disengaging itself from the globule.
These parasites have been met with in a
number sufficiently large to obstruct the
capillary vessels, and to explain many of
the symptoms of Intermittent fevers. 1t
has also been proven that the culture Of
these parasites in fertile gelatin basis
can be brought to an immediate cessation
if a two per cent. quinine solution is
added"

General Chalmers. Of Mississippi, IN
his eagcrness to harm his old political
friends. seems to have been imposed upon
by some one working in his interest. At
a convention held in jackson, Mississippi,
last Wednesday, Mr.. Chalmers read a
telegram. purporting to come from man
named Cessor, employed in the Post Office
Department. that senator Lamar and eN-
Congressman Lynch, a colored man, had
entered into a bargain by which Lamar
was to use his influence to get the Legis-
Iature. in redistricting the State, to make
two Republican districts. 50 that Lynch
could get back to Congress. Lynchcarried
copy of the telegram to the Postmaster
General and requested him to summon
Cessor and inquire of him if he sent such
a message. Cessor was called and de-
MED that he knew anything of the matter.
This leaves Mr.. Chalmers in Il very UNI
pleasant position. If Cessor did not send
the telegram, where did Mr.. Chalmers
get it? Mr.. Chalmers has failed com
pletely in his effort TO MahOneize Missis-
sippl. and in a little while he will not be
heard of in the politics of that
State. His contested election case will
make some noise in Washington this Win
ter. When that is settled the volume of
his political career will probably be
closed

The orphan children of the Confederate
General John b. Hood occasionally come
before the Southern public, showing the
lively interest taken in their welfare.
The oldest boy. John b. Hood, Jr., now
about twelve years old, was adopted by a

Commenting on the sharp criticism OF
the Legislature by the press Of the state,
the Atlanta correspondent Of the ChrORt-
Gle and COpstitutiOadliSt enters plea Of
defense, setting forth $50 bills introduced
into the House alone up TO date, two
thirds Of which are local or special. and
introduced by express command of the
people themselves. The critics are also
reminded that in order to Introduce a
local bill permission must be obtained by
a two-thirds vote Of the House; and if the
intrOduceF desires to save time by having
the bill read the first time, and referred to
its appropriate committee. instead OF
going to the committee OH that class Of
bills simply to be reported back and read
a first time, that also requires two
thirds vote.
From this statement Of the situation 1t
Is apparent that the Legislature cannot
get through with the business before it if il
remains in session until Christmas. One
Of the evils of special legislation is so
marked that it is question whether it
would not be wise 10 submit to the people
an amendment to the constitution pro-
hibiting all special legislation.

There Is little donbt that the Rppuhli-
can, intend 10 Use money freely in the
doubtful States this fall. They are deter
mined to hold these states if possible, be-
cause the loss Of them this fall would al
most insure the loss Of them in the Presi-
Dental election next year. The Republi-
can leaders know from long experience
the value Of money in elections. In the
doubtful states the floating vote-the vote
that can De bOught-holds the balance of
power. Dorsey. in his revelations re-
specting the campaign of 1850, tells how
this boating vote was secured IN Indiana.
Ohio and New York. Money, and money
alone. secured the triumph OF the Repub-
Iicaus in that campaign, The Republican
party has come to regard money as neces-
sarv 10 its success. Mr.. Ames, OF Mas
sachusetts. being charged with
kindly sentiments towards Governor
Butler, replied that he had given $4,000
to help defeat him. and wanted to know
who had shown hostility to HIM to that
extent. These are only few instances
of the lavish use Of money by the Repub-
can party. If the truth were known it
would, perhaps, appear that in almost
every State for years past, where there
was the least chance for Republican sue
cess. money was depended upon for vic
tory. There is a very large number OF
rich men in the Republican party who are
always ready to open their purses at the
call of the party leaders. They expect to
be rewarded in some way, Of course, and,
as rule, they are not disappointed. \
good many of them have grown rich on
party fayors. and others have parted with
their money for offices. The money argu-
ment Is potent but dangerous. To cor
rupt the voters is TO threaten the stability
of the government The evil is becoming
so fragrant and scandalous that some
thing should be done to remedy it. Con-
gress has undertaken to reform the civil
service. Let ii undertake to stop bribery
