 The question whether drunkenness should

 The Michigan prohibitionists seem to be about as sensible as the prohibitionists of other States, Connecticut, for instance.

 the house is tied, or Republican by two, and 1 temperance legislating of any sort quite out of the question.

 The introduction in the Vermont 1egisla-
 ture of a bill providing that the citizen of
 that State shall hereafter only vote in the
 town where he lives, and not there unless
 resident for at least three months before
 election, brings out the curious conditions of
 political privilege which have thus far exist
 ed with the people of Vermont. It has here
 tofore been, and is now, allowable for the
 Vermont votor to cast his ballot in any town
 of the State where he might happen to be on
 election day. It is stated, for instance, that
 in the recnt election about one hundred and
 fifty votes were cast in Rutland by persons
 who lived in at least forty-two other towns
 of the State.
 The constitutional amendment adopted by
 the people of New York at the recent e1ec-
 tion prohibits all cities in that State having more than one hundred thousand inhabitants from contracting debts in excess of ten per cent. of the assessed value of the real estate in the city. New York city's real estate is assessed at $111 1926, 159. The total bonded debt, exclusive of revenue bonds, will amount to $125, ,819, ,570, or exceeding by many millions the sum allowed by the re- cent constitutional amendment. But of these bonds $35, ,479, ,579 will belong to the sinking fund. Now the question comes, are these $35, ,00O, ,000 in the sinking fund to be regarded as paid? If so then they can be de ducted from the gross amount, reduce it to less than ten per cent. on the assessed valua- tion of the real estate in the city and they can theu increase their debt; but if these sinking fund bonds are not considered as paid, the authorities will be prohibited from enlarging the debt.
 The dangers attending the photographic in dustry are pointed out by MT. Napias, who states that in the preparation of the plates by means of the gelatine bromide of silver pro cess, every ray of sunlight should be exclud- ed, and the operator pursue his work by the aid of feeble illumination afforded by the red-ray lantern. Besides the foul air thus caused the narrow and gloomy apartment is filled with the vapor of ether. Unless great care in the ventilation is practised the neces- sary detention in the dark room may prove very hurtful. Again, there may occur pois- oning by sthe vapor of hydroceanic acid, which is formed by the decomposition of cy-
 anide of potassium by bichromate of potas-
 sium. Nervous phenomena may result from the breathing of atmosphere in dark
 room without oxygen, this necessary element
 being taken up by pyrogallic acid when in contact with the alkali ammonia If to this
 loss of oxygen be added the vapor of ammo
 mia, it necessarily follows that the atmos- phere under these circumstances must, if long continuously breathed, prove damag- ing to the blood, causing more or less pro nounced anemia, with its attendant symp-

ported as having no choice is Captain
Cyrus Leland of this district, who is prob
ably the most intense Blaine man of the

men is put down VIM MaItindale, Of

KANSAS AND FT4fNR

A table of delegates to Chicago is be-
ing published In the eastern papers, Civ
ing the presidential choice of each one,
and placing Blaine far ahead. In the
list Cy. Leland is set down az without
expres sed preference or unknown choice.
Blaine is given 10 votes 10 Kansas. If
this is a SIMPLE of other states, they are
cheating Blaine out of many of his del
egates. If Mr.. Leland is not for Blaine
he will not have'any votes. He Will be
for Blaine first, and as long as he gets
any votes. If the Kansas delegates vote
the expressed wishes of those who sent
them, Blaine will have Is votes from
this state. He will have not less than
IA, of their own voluntary choice Troy
Chief
1t is the same way with the delegates
from this district. They are both set
down for Arthur, when in fact, unless
the convention that elected them was
fooled they are for Blaine. Had they
announced themselves as for Arthur,
neither of them would have been elect
ed. We do not believe they ever gave
anybody any reason to suppose they
would vote for Arthur. II Is true they
were not instructed, but the
vote of the convention was IS for Blaine
and two for Arthur. OF Arthur's strength
before the convention, about 200 of them
come from states which would not give
him single electoral vote, and there
fore they do not amount TO much. The
only ground on which Messrs. Martin
dale and Peck eau go against Blaine
would be that, sitter full conference, 1.
would be deemed fatal tothe party to
nominate him. But certainly that does
not mean that they are for Arthur, be.
cause Blame has more strength IN New
York, the pivotal state, than Arthur
We reckon that when the eastern papers
are putting down ten, twelve and four
teen votes for Blaine from Kansas they
are fooled. He win haYe sixteen, If noV
the whole eighteen.
