In a voyage from Rio Janerio to Bor-
deaux two French savants carefully in
vestigated the quality of sea air. They
found in all instances that over the
open sea, at distance from the vessel,
the air was singularly free from the
multitude of organism which are found
in land breezes. 1t is now believed by
these and other investigators that none
OF the germs OF an epidemic can cross
an ocean with the wind, but that all
low forms of life contained in it must
soon reach the water and die. Sea voy.

The Democracy Now ON Trial.

What does the democratic house propose
TO do this winter? Simply felicitate itself
upon its prospects of soon enjoying the
spoils of political warfare, pass the regu-
lar appropriation bills, and await the
millennium that it is expected will closely
follow tho Inauguration Of Cleveland
The country expects more Of you, gentle
men. Thero is no probability that an
extra session of congress will be called,
and should the forty-ninth congress con-
vene before the first Monday of December,
1885, tho democratic party ia in no better
condition to shape legislation than now.
a republican senate is just us offectual in
blocking partisan enaotments, or giving
the negative to vicious legislation, as q
republican senate and executive COM
bined. II the democratic party has any
distinctive policy other than that OF OBJ
this session to mako 1t known, What
tho democratic house of the forty eighth
congress does that is wise, will contribute
to the confidence with which tho demo-
cratic house Of the forty-ninth congress
will be met at the opening Of Its first ses-
sion. II the course Of tho democratic
party at this session Is cowardly, the dis
trust of that party will increase during
the nine months that will intervene be-
tween March and December, 1886. There
nre now upon tho house calendar i'm
portant bills sent down TO II from the
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1884-12-15

THE democratic national committee has
appointed Committee of Fifty from
among the residents of the district and
formally given into their hands charge
and control of the Inauguration cere-
monies. Elsewhere we print the lettor
of appointment and the names of the
gentlemen selected. Very properly, the
committee has been made non-partisan,
as will also the subcommittees to be ap-
pointed hereafter. The inauguration of
president is national affair, in which
all parties have O right to take part, and
we are sure that the republicans upon the
committees will work as zealously to
make Cleveland's Inauguration memora-
BILE as will their democratic associates.
The national committee having by their
action constituted body in control
whose authority will be respected on all
hands, We look to see all squsbbling over
points Of precedence cease among our
local democratic organizations. There Is
plenty of work TO do jim order to make
the Inauguration ceremonies successful in
all details, and but short time to do II
in. Therefore, we hope all our citizens
without regard to party, will cordially
prepare to support and assist the Commit,
tee of Fifty to the full extent of theil
ability

SOME of the seed sown by the demo-

One Indiana statesman told his hearers
that there was sufficient surplus in the
treasury to give each man, woman, and
child in the country $500, if 1t were
divided and distributed among the peo-
ple. A Hoosier has recently written to
the secretary of the treasury that there
are six in his family, and that If he can

sistance to him the coming winter, and
