Vote for the Second Proposition.
Western Christian Advocate.

Since the proposition is in the form
of a constitutional amendment, it
stands above and independent of par
ty platforms and obligations. All
who desire to vote for it are free to do
so. All philar thropic men; all who
care for their children and for the
children of their neighbors and rela-
tives; all who desire the security and
happiness of society; all who are will
ling to put forth any effort to abate
the causes Of ignorance, poverty, suf-
fering, disorder, and crime; all who
wish to promote the well-being, phys
ical, moral, and religious, of the peo-
pie in the State, whatever their occu-
patton or condition,-all such will
have an opportunity such as they nev-
er he'd before to cast a ballot in favor
Of a proposition calculated to promote
the interests they have at heart The
Republican and the Democrat, how
ever closely they may adhere to their
party, and however much they may
desire the election to Office Of the
nominees Of that party, can vote as
freely as any one else for this propos-
ition. He is not required, in order to
cast such ballot, to sacrifice any par
ty, friend or principle. All that will
be necessary is that he shall act in ac-
cord with the dictates Of his own
Judgment and conscience, in a matter
which deeply concerns his own man
hood and the highest welfare of socie-
ty.
This proposition expresses precisely
what thorough-going temperance peo-
pie desire to see Incorporated into
the constitution, and after being put
into properly framed statutes, effect
lively executed. It could not express
the desire and purpose Of the people
we represent more tersely, nor more
correctly. We desire, and we are
working for the entire prohibition
of the manufacture and sale of intox-
icating liquors as beverages. The
proposition therefore, meets our hear
ty and unqualified approval.

IT will require $4,000 votes in ia
vor of the second amendment to
make it part Of the Constitution.
The question is asked by many can
this number Of votes be brought to ia
vor the amendment. There is hardly
a remaining doubt of it. The bulk
of the Republican party will favor the
proposition. 1t will receive all of the
prohibition voie proper. lie these
combined elements should prove to be
as large as the sanguine advocates
claim, the banner of prohibition will
go up in triumph; if not the measure
Will probably go over to be contested
again by another generation. Ii it
sholld be defeated, it will puzzle the
h1mare to understand why public
sentiment should travel so slowly in
the way Of throwing safeguards
around the human family, while in
material things it is making such as

The Effect of Tobacco on Children.

DR.. G. Decaisne has supmit to the
Society Of Public Medicine the results
of some interesting observations con-
cerning the effect due to the use of to-
bacco among boys Thirty-eight
youths were placed in his charge,
whose ages varied from nine to fif-
teen, and who were in the habit of
smoking, though the abuse Of tobacco
varied in each case. The effects of
course also varied, but were very en-
phatic with twenty-seven out OF the
thirty-seven boys. With twenty-five
patients, there was a distinct distur-
bance of the circulation, bruit at the
carotids, palpitation Of the heart, de-
ficiencies of digestion, sluggishness of
the intellect, and craving, more or
less pronounced, for alcoholic stimu-
lants. In thirteen instances there
was an intermittent pulse. Analysis
of the blood showed in eight cases
notable falling off in the normal num-
Der of red corpuscles. Twelve boys
suffered frequently from bleeding of
the nose. Ten complained Of agitat-
ed sleep and constant nightmare.
Four boys had liberated mouths, and
one of the children became the victim
of pulmonary phthisic, fact which
DIR. Decaisne attributed to the great
deterioration of the blood produced
by prolonged and excessive use Of to-
bacco. AS these children were all
more or less Emphatic, it was not
possible to establish comparison ac-
cording to temperament; but of
course the younger the child the more
marked were the symptoms, and the
better-fed children were those that
suffered least. Eight Of the children
in question were aged from nine to
twelve years. Eleven had smoked for
six months, eight for one year, and
sixteen for more two years. Out of
eleven boys who were induced to cease
smoking, six were completely restored
to normal health after six months,
while the others continued to sutfrr
slightly for a year. Treatment with
iron and quinine gave no satisfactory
result, and it seems tolerably evident
that the most effective, if not the on
lv cure, is to at once forswear the habit.
which to children in any case is un-
doubtedly pernicious.-Lancet.

Cholera.

In view Of possible, but we may
still hope not very probable, invasion
Of cholera, it may be worth while to
ask ourselves seriously and urgently,
in what condition will that formida-
BILE epidemic disease find US as regards
the facilities provided for its rapid ex-
tension? In the history of previous
epidemics there can be no doubt we
may trace the record of progressive
limitation and repression by sanitary
improvements. The time has now
arrived when, with all our light and
knowledge, we ought to have no great
dread Of cholera. 1t is, in a very
special sense, perfectly controllable
objection; we do not say that it is so
comfortable affection. 1t remains to
be seen whether medicine, as heal
ing art, has discovered any new rene
dy, or learnt to apply any known and
tried, but not perhaps thoroughly
understood, principle of therapy in
relief of the malady. What, however,
we do assert is that medicine, as a
preventive art, in its dealings with
the germs Of disease, ought to be able
to grapple instantly and successfully
with cholera We know that it is
propagated solely through excreta,
and that water is the great carrier of
the infective germs. Obviously, if
the excreta of cholera patient are
allowed to dry in contact with the
air, they may float away in the atmos-
phere, and the air will then become
infected: but in primary sense it is
the water to which we must look.
In any case, it has been demonstrat-
ed that, provided all the excreta from
a cholera patient are Instantly destroy
ed-not merely disinfected-the dis
ease will not spread. The malady can
no more develop de noUo than plant
can grow without seed. 1t is no use
waiting until the disease has effected
a lodgment in our midst. lie chol-
eriac dejecta have passed into the
sewers before the nature Of the dis
ease has been recognized, as is most
likely to happen, the seed has been
already sown broadcast, and the pro-
duction Of a crop in cases in some
locality-it may be seemingly far
from the first case, but in connection
with twill be inevitable. The only
efectual safeguard against the cpl
demic we desire to avoid is to begin at
once to destroy all diarrhe stools,
lest too late they may be found to
have been choleraic! AS matter of
precaution we ought always to destroy
the stools of fever and diarrhe. 1t is
wanton recklessness to allow them to
pass into the sewers. This is how dis
ease is spread and perpetuated, when
it should be stamped out. Whatever
disinfectant we empty should be used
at once, and of strength sufficient to
accomplish the object in view. These
are hints which should be reduced to
practice without delay.-Lamcet.

The opportunity Of voting for or
against prohibition without affecting
the strength Of any candidate, or the
ticket on which his name appears, is
something unusual and important
in Ohio. It may never again occur
in the lifetime of any who shall make
up the verdict to be pronounced. To
vote, and to do right in voting at the
approaching election, will therefore
be to every man who is privileged to
exercise this right solemn duty In
the highest acceptance of the term.
Enough has been said and written
and sung and painted and acted, IN
public and in private, again and
again, to acquit the whole world OF
any neglect in this direction. Acts
now and hereafter are to be charged
or credited to men, for it cannot be
doubted that everyone who can read: =
or can hear or see, is fully informed OF
his plain duty in the majestic issue
about to be tried by the people-aalh
issue of moment even to little chill

IT is now pretty well settled that
the political field will be canvassed by
both the mothers and saloon-keepers
of Ohio. There will be good deal of
curiosity manifested by the public at
large to see which side is going to
win. At the present outlook the
odds are in favor of the mothers, with
a growing disposition on the voters
that they shall triumph. The ques-
ton will be we'll discussed before the
day of election, and the man who
will vote with the whisky side will
not do his duty to his race, nor will
he help to sustain the dignity which
belongs to the advancing era Of pro-
gress through which we are passing.
Let us be just to the mothers if we
must be severe on the destroyers of
their sons.-MarysriHe Tribune.
