 The withdrawal of one and two dollar notes from circulation was made necessary by the rapid sccunu- lation of silver in the sub. treasuries. It was expected in this way to create a demand for silver coin. That the plan was successful is shown by the large output of silver during the past month. So far no formal complaints or protests against the withdrawal of one and two dollar notes have been made.
 Even the poor red man refuses to compete with Chinese labor. Last week a mob of Indians attacked a party of Chinese hop pickers thir- teen miles east of Seattle, Washing ton Territory, with clubs and stones, killing two and wounding four Chi. nese. The cause Of the row was that in former years the Indians had been hired exclusively to pick hops and this year one firm hired Chinamen. They were warned to leave, but re- fused to go.

Triumph OF Law.

short dispatch from Louisville in the
/ MORNING NEWS the other day. announced
The TACT that about twenty leading gam
oilers OF that city had under pleas Of
guilty, submitted 70 fines aggregating
about $4,000, and promised the court to
lead honest lives In the future.
Louisville mas for more than forty years
bssn no.utioas as a city of refuge for gam
bfers, and gambling has for long time
been carried on IN that city almost as
openly as any legitimate business-in-
deed. probably there were thousands OF
LbuisyiEiaus who were not aware that it
was not legitimate business. Gambling
houses were more under police protection
than police surveillance. Two large gam
bling houses were IN operation in build
iugs controlled by the Chief Of Police, and
il was not entirely safe for a citizen to say
mucn against gamblers even in the very
heart OF the city.
Two years ago the two leading newspa-
pers began to call for the suppression
of public gambling. From this the
better people OF the city became
aroused, and Law and Order
league was formed. Detectives were en-
ployed, and the gaming nuisance tempo
rarily abated. The gamblers made des-
perate light and prolonged 1t for months. 1t
is said that they were supplied with funds
by the gamblers OF other cities, and for
long time they kept up the struggle.
They would close their old establishments
and open others which were conducted
with less publicity.
Last week the Louisville gamblers, that
is, the most notorious of them, were driy-
en- to the last ditch. About forty o them,
who had been indicted, had no alternative
left them but to plead guilty. They knew
that they would be harshly dealt with I'M
less they appealed for mercy, and they
knew appeals for mercy would be in vain
unless they drought forth fruits meet for
repentance" The chief of the gang,
member OF the City Council, called meet
ing and advised them TO surrender. They
did 50. They went to court and begged
the judge 10 let them off lightly, and they
promised to quit the gambling business at
once and forever. About half of them
were fined $500 each, while some dozen or
more had sentence suspended sin terro-
REM over them. 1t is hardly possible that
gambling can be entirely broken up in
Louisville, but it will probably be many
years before public gambling will again
be tolerated in that city.
What has been done in Louisville can
be done elsewhere. 1t is hardly possible
to entirely suppress private gambling,
but public gambling should not be toler-
ated In any reputable city.

A disease from which New York,
Brooklyn, Philadelphia and other North
ern cities suffer terribly is pneumonia.
Last winter the number OF deaths from
this disease in New York was so large as
TO be alarming. 1t is already beginning
to attract attention this winter in Phila-
delphia. Last week there were IL deaths
from it, and - the previous week in that
city.
At its annual meeting last Monday
night the New York Medical Association
discussed in an exhaustive manner the
subject OF pneumonia; Its Causes and
Cure" The doctors disagreed. Some held
one view with regard to the cause Of the
disease and some another. DR.. Austin
Flint said that in his opinion pneumonia
was essentially a fever, and that the
pulmonary troubles were secondary
manifestations" DR.. Didama said that
pneumonia twas not caused by exposure
to cold and Indictment weather."
and in proof OF his statement he said
sailors do not have it," DR.. Didama
maintained that the disease was rather an
infectious one. DR.. Ross thought ''pneu-
monla a fever, and not a purely local
affection" DR.. Janeway contended that
the ''disease was caused by microbe, so
minute that it took sc, 900 of them strung
together to make an inch, The microbe
was breathed into the lungs" DR.. Beggs
declared that those who drank alcoholic
liquors were more liable to the disease
than those who did not. 1t is evident that
there is great doubt among the physicians
as to the cause OF the disease, and if there
is doubt about its cause, is it not likely
that there is as great a doubt as to the
remedies to be used for its cure?

Generous Givers.

The ex-Confederate soldiers who suf-
fered serious wounds during the war, or
who contracted diseases from the effects
Of which they will never be wholly free,
have had to get living as best they could.
In some of the States they have been given
a little help, but not enough to be worth
mentioning. Money sufficient to get a
wooden leg or an arm is about all that any
of them has received from any source.
Although a generous government has
made splendid provision for the ex-
Union soldiers, the ex-Contederates
have never complained at their hard
lot.
There is some satisfaction in the fact
that recently private charity has estab-
lished at Richmond, Va, a ''Home for
Confederate Soldiers and Sailors" which
is open to all soldiers and sailors who
served the Confederscy hOnOrably. Nine
States are now represented in the Home,
and it is expected that hun
dred old heroes will soon be cared
for within its sheltering walls.
Among those who have given literally to
this home are Mr.. w. w. Corcoran, of
Washington, ID. c., Messrs. Mark
Downey and Lewis Ginter. of Richmond,
and Mr.. William H. Appleton, of New
York, each having given $1,000 TO build
a cottage at the Home. Mr.. Appleton's
contribution was recently made. The
people of Georgia have known of Mr.. APP
pleton's good deeds before. Years ago he
gave S25, 900 in aid Of establishing a home
for orphans of ex-COnfederate soldiers at
Macon, which is now known as the
appleton Home" There may be, and we
hope there are, gentlemen in Georgia who
will contribute something towards sup
porting the Richmond institution. Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee, at Richmond, Va, will
gladly receive for the institution whatever
generous givers may desire to contribute
to the support OF wornout and practically
helpless eX-Confederates.
