"Cholers: What Can the State Do to
Prevent It?' BY j. n. Cunningham,
NJ. D., Surgeon General Indian Medl'
cal Department, Calcutta, Superln-
t~entient OF Government Printing, Is q
work which should be very generally
studied in this country. DR.. Cunning
hams large acquaintance with the great
Asiatic plague entities his work to be
regarded es a very high authority upon
the question Of cholera epidemics II
the sanitary measures best calculated
to avert them. He brings together i'll
this volume the main facts, showing
what has been the experience of India
in regard to the propagation OF the dis
case, and also discusses practically its
general etiology. Among the very i'm
| portant conclusions he reaches are that
"sanitary improvements are the only
safeguard against cholera" S%anitate,
| sanitate, sanitate, is the burden OF his
| counsel. In taking this ground he en-
forces the arguments of those who de-
precate reliance upon quarantine Il
sanitary cordons for the isolation OF
the sick as in itself sufficient to prevent
the march of the dread pestilence. The
practical lessons which he draws from
his vast observation OF cholera and
cholera epidemics ought to be well
rendered by all municipal and medical
authorities of countries in which the
malady now threatens to put in its APP
pearance. The proper method OF man
aging a cholera outbreak. Dir. Cum
ningham holds, is (1) "to quiet alarm
by assuring the people that, if attack
ed, they will not be carried off to
hospital against their will, but thai
they may be treated in their Owl
homes, care being taken to avoid, i
possible, the room they occupied whel
alta cked; and if the house can bt
changed, so much the better; (2) t.
impress on all that the sick can be at.
tended without the smallest danger
and (S) to have convenient place.
!, where people can procure medicine
and medical attendance without delay
r The relation OF man to a. outburst o
cholera, in the view of this specialist
much resembles the relation of a shil
I to a cyclone. Cyclones are not carried
by man nor can they be prevented b.
man. To meet them the ship must b
well built, we'll found and we'll com
manded and when, in spite of all thes
advantages, the storm is greater thai
she can we'll bear, she must endeavo
to get away from the area it covers
wi hat a blessing" he adds, ''would
be to the human race if those who ar
responsible would prepare to NEE
cholera in the same way as the intelli
gent commander Of a ship is prepare
to meet q cyclonel"

II Is time that the members of the
United States senate came to consider
the question of their right to spend
money in summer junkets without any
regard to the public service, and the
quicker they conclude that it Is not at all
justifiable the better it will be for them.
For some years the custom of sending
senators out on exploring expeditions
to the highest priced summer hotels
has been growing, and yet fol- all the
money thus far expended not a single
report has been made which has at
tracted any attention in the public
mind or has the slightest value even to
specialists. II the senate does not Gu,
of this waste of money it ought to find
itself brought up with a round turu by
the house IL OF these days, with the
contingent fund cut off altogether.

Speaker Haynes, of the Illinois mouse
of representatives, paralyzed the mouse
on the morning of the first OF April
after the reading of the Journal os
discharging all policemen, pages Jain-
tors, committee clerks and committee
janitors heretofore appointed D! 'no
sneaker, from further service. III
doing this Speaker Haines said he te'e
It incumbent to make this III
view of the fact that 8 resolution oi
MIR. West providing for the invesflga-
ton OF the payroll of the house, In
simulated that the speaker had made
appointments of favorites to places,
which charges were not true, and IN
order to be discharged from further
responsibility which the house had pl"o-
ed upon him, he made the order. MI
West protested against the speaker
discharging employees OF the house al
ready appointed. The speaker replica
| it had already been done. Immediately
Mr.. West, the author of the resolution
providing for the Investigation, was
surrounded by pages, policemen )anl-
| tors, committee clerks, ETC., who lm'
portuned him to keep them on the pay
roll. The scene presented was funny
in the extreme. Mr.. Thomas offered
a resolution, asking the speaker to re-
~instate the employees he had discharged.
| Mr.. Keyes offered a substitute declar-
| ing the speaker had no power to dis
charge any person in the employ OF
| the house, aud requested all such per-
| SONS to remain. Mr.. Keyes said he
| offered the resolution to show that
| the speaker had no power. The speak
er replied in the premises that, as TAI
as he was concerned, the payroll OF
none of the discharged employees would
be certified to by him, unless they
were re-instated by the house. Mr.
Pike said it was unjust to charge the
speaker as responsible for the many
employees about the house, when 1t wa:
a fact that every member of the nous
was as much, if not more, responsible
for the numerous appointments, as Il
was a fact that every member of the
house had importuned the speaker te
place some friend upon the payroll
and through his kindness OF heart he
had acceded to these im%portunate de
mands. Other speeches were made, whel
finally the resolutions of Mr.. ThomaI
and Mr.. Reyes were laid upon tn
table. Several attempts were made t.
proceed with business, but the old fus
would continually arise. At lengtl
the movers of the resolution offere'
apologies, and the matter cooled down
but the speaker did not re-instate tn
discharged employees, o nominal
any others.

The highway commissioners OF Full
ton county, Illinois, recently had q
meeting to compare notes on road
working. They say:-"Some OF the
roads and hills so tiled had been I'm
passable at this season of the year; now
they are dry and dusty. One impasss-
bic hill was tiled In the center of the
road, with an occasional lateral run
ming off to the sides, and in thee DAYS
a team hauled 800 brick up that hill.
These gentlemen said that in thing they
first covered the tile with scrap tin, but
brick-bats or cinders would do Just as
| well. Where these could not be had,
the top soil must be first thrown on the
thing, as it is porous and will let the
water into the tile. If the moist CLAW
is thrown upon the thing it forms a wa.
ter-tight barrier and the tile is USE
less" Our road overseers would do
well to Investigate everything that
promises well in the way of making
good roads.
