The recent fatal mistake of q druggist in
New York has called attention to the neces-
sity of great care in selling deadly drugs.
Professor Doremus, the celebrated chemist,
tells how his late associate, DIR. Budd, who
once kept drug store in Brooklyn, used to
manage, and his plan appears to be good
one. He was accustomed not only to store
such potent poison as morphine and strych-
nine in bottles properly labeled and marked
with the word poison" in large characters,
but also to put the bottles in boxes similarly
labeled, and then to place the boxes in a
large box bearing third label of warming.
The person who handled the deadly drugs in
his store could not mistake their character
whom compelled to open three carefully
labeled receptacles to reach them.

According to NJ. Nobel, who has done more
than anyone else to adapt the new explosives
to use, the statements of the force latent in
them have been much exaggerated. Dyna-
mite, for instance, exercises considerable
force when compared with gunpowder nd
does not need to be confined or tamped as gun
powder does: but its range of operation is
comparatively slight. By the explosion of
an ordinary gunpowder cartridge held in the
hand workman might be blown to pieces,
but it has frequently happened that dynamite
cartridges have exploded in the hands Of
miners and have blown off only the hand or
arm holding them. 1t is absurd, therefore,
to suppose that these explosives can ever be
used to lay waste a city since, in order to
destroy single building it would be necessary
to place certain quantity of dynamite in va
rious parts of it. Beside this it is not an easy
matter. to manufacture explosives of this char
acter. In the case of the dynamite conspirators
recently arrested In England it is affirmed that
if the arrest had been delayed few days the
member of the company who was engaged in
the manufacture of nitro glyoerine at Manches-
ter would probably have lost his life in conse-
quence of premature explosion of the COM
pound he was engaged in producing. NJ.
Nobel declares that for destructive uses crude
petroleum would be infinitely more service
able than dynamite can ever be made to be
in;the hands of revolutionists. Many who have
been in the oil market know the terrible
qualities of crude petroleum.

The 'thigh license bill which has passed
tn lower branch of the Illinois legislature
will, it is said, pass the Senate early this
w.sek and will promptly receive the signature
of Governor Hamilton. It fixes the whiskey
lie ense at $500 and the beer license at $3.50.
It further provides that county boards may
grstnt licenses to keep as many dram shops
in their county as they may think the public
good requires, upon the application by peti-
ton of a majority of the legal voters of the
town, if the county is under township Or
ganiaation; if not, of majority of the voters
of the election precinct or district where it is
proposed to locate the dram shop. The bill
does not fix maximum license in any city,
town or village in the State, but it rigidly
provides that a spirit license shall be at least
$500 and a beer license $3.50. It is thought
that when this bill becomes law it will wipe
out at least a thousand of the poorer kind of
rumshops in Chicago. The vote in the
House was significant. In order to pass it
| required II votes. 1t received 70 and 20 of
these were Republicans.

The Ceuera, of the Army.

Sheridan succeeds Sherman to-day as
general Of the army, by the grace of the
latter In retiring before the time ut
which the law would retire him, at the
age of sixty four. II is not u very wise
law which compulsorily retires an officer
at fixed age, because many men are in
their prime at sixty.four, and General
Sherman is one of these. There can be
no question that he is entirely lt in body
and mind to continue to be the head OF
the army q great deal litter, in
deed, than his successor, who is
not a man of any special capac-
ity. He is supposed to have made
a good cavalry and division commander,
but much of his fame has come from
some popular, but not remarkably good
poetry, which undertook to describe
ride of the commander down the Nlr-
ginia valley, to join his army when
had been beaten in the morning and
had been gathered together in the
afternoon by General Wright, 50 as to
repulse the enemy, aud just in time to
let Sheridan come up and steal the glory
He Is n small man To succeed one who
is really great man aud should
there ever be any need Of an army in
the Hsld, Sherman will BE- required e.
lead It. At present there seems to be
little likelihood that we will have any
use for an army. There is nothing now
for it to do but to police the western
country, which should properly he the
duty of civil force. TIE lpl,ans are
no longer the cause Of any ptrIcuIar
anxiety and about The only reason for
keeping up the army is tie mead for
giving pay and employment to tho
officers. 1t would be better to pu, them
all on the retired list, with pen
sion, subject to call when needed
We suggest the abolition of the
active army; which is active only
in name. The artillery part of it is scat
tered around in divers pleasant places,
with absolutely nothing to do, with no
guns even to polish. The infantry are
gathered in camp to eat and drill. The
cavalry keep them company and eat, and
clean their horses. Occasionally some OF
them ride but there are colonies Of reg
iments who have not been on a horse
since the war. The army officers should
be given something to do, or they shoud
have an opportunity of finding something
to do in private life. They could bt
utilized very well in the civil service
being generally intelligent, honest ant
jealous men. II is not their fault that
their life is SO inactive and their promo
tion so slow. 1t yexes their souls. 1t il
wrong to keep men of capacity at tn,
iddling work and triling duties whicl
they perform. Give them work or turr
them hose.
