A commission appointed by the Ger.
man government last fall on the subject
of vaccination and it's effects as a pre-
ventive Of smallpox reports that since
1874, when revaccination began to be
strictly and generally enforced, not n
death from smallpox has occurred in the
German army. while in those of Austria
and France, where revaccination is neg.
lected and where the soldiers mix with
an imperfectly protected population, the
mortality has been high, ranging from
ten to twenty-five per 100, 600 in the
Austrian army and from seventeen to
twenty. nine in the French. Comparison
of the ravages of the disease in the large
cities OF Europe is also made, in all
cases the results being largely in favor
of Germany. These facts are held to
show that revaccination confcrs almost
complete immunity from smallpox. and
Justify the enforcement of the ordinance
by the German health authorities. This
testimony accords with the third pro-
position of the Illinois State board of
health in it's exhaustive report on this
subject, to wit: "That not only may
epidemic outbreaks be prevented with
absolute certainty by vaccination uni.
v~ersally and properly performed, but the
disease itself might be entirely eradicatcd
and its reproduction be rendered practi-
cally impossible if every Individual were
efficiently vaccinated in infancy and the
operation repeated at proper intervals of
time"

We are not scientists enough to explain the
cause of apprehension, yet learned men be-
heve that there is great danger of cholera in
this country this summer. They have empha
sized the danger to such an extent that health
authorities are moved to great sanitary pre-
cautions, and all large cities and towns are
spending considerable money in cleaning up
and in other preparations to ward off the dis
ease Health officers of Baltimore, Philadel
phia, Brooklyn, New York and Boston held
a conference on the introduction of cholera
at New York last week, and decided to estab-
lish more rigid rules and to throw additional
safeguards around those already ill force.
These active preparations to protect the gen
eral health are not amiss, and should be re-
sorted to every year. They are no more i'm
portant now than they were last year or will
be next, perhaps, but they are always neces-
sary. No place can be healthy unless it have
proper drainage and be kept clean, and the
authorities of Westminster should have per-
sonal inspection made, by a competent per
son, Of the condition ofthe city. Many per-
sons always have their premises neat and
clean; others rarely have. The Mayors cir
cular, recently issued, was not needed for the
former class; upon the other it has had but

MEssRs. EDITORS AN ordinance was
passed by our City Council some time since,
printed and distributed, directing all lot
owners or occupants to "remove all garbage,
&C., from their premises" What the penalty
for failure to comply consists of | do not
know, but this l do know-if any one will
take walk through the alley ways of this
town their olfactories will be greeted with
something that is anything but pleasant, and
must prove unhealthy. The alleys are used
more as place of deposit for dead carcasses
and filth of every kind, than as thoroughfares
or roadways to the rear of most of the town
lots. Should cholera visit this country during
the summer of 1885, know of no more in
viting spot for it to anchor than in Westmin-
ster. Together with the dust that has been
accumulating on the streets for the last half
century, the odor of the uncleaned pig pens,
COW and horse stables, and other neglected
repositories of filth, stagnant ponds of water,
&C., a terrible nuisance is created all over the
town. Whose fault is it? Has not some one
power to enforce the ordinance What Off
Ger is commissioned to look after the matter !?
Unless some ona is, the ordinance is tota
failure. How easy it would be for each onel
to look after his own lot. In this way a
terrible seourge may be averted. | sincerely
hope another fortnight may make change,
a great change, in the sanitary condition of

Mr.. Dickson, foreman of the Start Route
jury, accused of bribing jurors to acquit
Brady, Dorsey and other Star Reuters, was
tried and acquitted in Washington this week.
As soon as the verdict was rendered he en-
tered suit for $50, 900 damages for libel against
ex- Attorney General Brewster. Brewster was
a witness in Dickson's case, and during cross
examination got very mad. He now proposes
to publish in pamphlet form his side of the
whole star-route business. All these quarrels
amount to nothing, for charges from one are
speedily denied by another. The public
know that the government was swindled by
Dorsey, Brady and other influential Republi-
cans; that immense sums of money were spent
in trials of these men, which were mere farces;
and that the government counsel got fabulous
fees for their services. The government
would have been several hundred thousand
dollars better off had it let the rascals gone

The successful publication of paper is one

criminate what's proper and what is improper

handle questions of grave Importance; that
ability to combat errors born of excitement,
without preeipitating riot and tumult; that
ability to judge men and measures without

England and Russia.

Rumors of inevitable war between England
and Russia have been announced daily since
our last issue, and preparations by both gov
ernments have been vigorously continued.
The news yesterday, however, was less war
ike, and there was rift in the oyershadow-
ing cloud. England has signi6ed her wiling
ness to concede to Russia the Lessar line as
the boundary of Russia, under distinct
pledge that it shall be the extreme limit OF
her frontier Russia will accept this, but then
the attack of the Russian troops on the AT
ghans on March 80 remains to be settled.
England has proposed committee of arbitra-
ton to Russia Russia refused at first, pre-
ferring to accept the report of her own com
mander Komaroff. Now, however, Russia,
in view of the boundary concession, will call
a meeting Of her ministers to consider the
proposition.
Just what will result from this last effort at
compromise no one can tell. Probably ne
gotiations are continued to complete arrange'
ments for active hostilities.

Hon. A. NJ. Kelley, of Richmond, Va,
was some weeks ago appointed Minister to
Italy. His enemies brought to light speech
rejecting on the Italian government made
about fourteen years ago, and for week or
more every morning it would be published
that Mr.. Kelley had declined the Italian mis-
sion. ON account of embarrassments it might
cause, but the evening papers would contain
contradiction of the rumor. The latest is,
that Mr.. Kelley has declined to go as Minister
to Italy, and that he has been appointed Min
lister to Austria-Hungary. This is regarded
as reliable, being reported on Thursday, and
confirmed yesterday.
