HEALTH MATTERS.

The San Francisco Report hopes that the
California Medical Society "will stick a
goad" into the San Francisco Board of
Health, and adds that "if it can wake the
members up its meeting will be more use
full than if the doctors merely discuss a
new remedy for an obscure disease or listen
to lecture on physical monstrosity. The
subject is one that needs discussion at the
present time" The Report calls attention
to the fact that so probable is the advent of
the cholera regarded at the East, that the
Board Of Health of Philadelphia has
asked for an appropriation of money, not
only to use in making preventive defenses
effective, but for the organization of an
aggressive warfare upon the pest when it
appears. California is in deplorable po-
sition. Its late Legislature thought poll
tics so much more important than the vel
fare of the people, that it neglected the
all important measure that would have
given to the State Board of Health means
to arrest the disease at the doors of the
State. The Secretary Of the State Board
of Health declares this neglect to have
been reckless indifference to the sanitary
welfare of the people" 1t was great
deal worse than that-it was criminal and
brutal neglect; an outrage that possibly
may cause the people of the State to curse
every man who contributed in any way
whatever to the defeat of the measure.

METHODS OF CHARITY.

Methods for the relief Of distress have
always been open questions Of debate.
Most modern methods of discussing char
ity are admittedly faulty. If people are to
be their own almoners, they are very
likely to be imposed upon by the I'M
tcrupulous, while the deserving and modest
poor are apt to be neglected. There are
men and women who disburse charity
funds Tor themselves with large degree of
care, and only after examination into the
vorthiness of the objects Of their eonsidera-
masses there must be reliance upon or
ganized charities. 1t is the experience,
however, Of even the best of these, that
imposition cannot be wholly avoided, and
that many of the worthy suffering poor are
not reached. In short, very few of our re-
lief associations are at all satisfied with
their own system. From this statement,
however, must be excepted The homes" of
various kinds, which confne their efforts to
those Immediately within the walls of
rch asylums or retreats The most of
these are open to public inspection, and no
serious misapplication of charity funds by
them is likely to escape notice. At the
East q new movement is on foot to organ
ize associations, the purpose which is to
examine into this whole question and bring
about reforms in all the methods now
in vogue for the disbursement Of charita-
bic funds II prosecuted with any meas
urable degree of wisdom, these new socie-
sies must result benefcially. 1t is needful
first to know the source and cause of
remedies, and this is what the new socie-
ties propose to do. In this State.it has
been seriously debated whether or not the
entire matter Of relief of the poor should
not become public charge. While it is
true, as Mrs. Josephine Lowell points out
in her recent admirable monograph upon
this subject, that it is not right to tax one
part of the community for the benefit of
another, except it inures to the benefit of
both in the end, it is also true that organ
lzed society, known as government, is in
duty bound TO decrease, so far as it can, the
sum of human suffering, for it therel y
contributes to the welfare of the whole
body of society. Public relief according
to governmental methods, through the
agencies Of hospitals, poor-houses and asy-

A PLUCXY WOMAN

The case of Miss Sweet takes on some
thing of strong color, when ii Ii more
thoroughly understood. Her father, the
late General Sweet, was a Union soldier.
He was in command at one time of Camp
Douglas, Chicago and BY his vigilance and
wisdom he prevented the seizure of Chi
cago by traitorous hands according to plans
laid by Jacob Thompson, ex-secretary Of
the Interior, who turned against the Gov
eminent that made him what he was, and
in memory of which arch-rebel the stars
and stripes were placed at half-mast over
the Interior Department the other day by
the present incumbent. When General
Grant was made President, he gave Mis-
Ada Sweet the appointment Of Pension
Agent, which she nov holds. She is an
intelligent, Woodworking woman, and has
had upon her hands the raising and sup
port of the family Of her father. General
Grant appreciated her worth and the ser
vices Of her father, and sought to mitigate
the reverse5 of fortune that fell upon his
family after his death, by giving the daugh-
ter employment. 1t proved a most excellent
choice for the Government Under her
administration the agency has been hon
estly, economically and discreetly con-
ducsed, and in thoroughly good business
manner. The lady has now golden opin-
ions on all sides. Even Commissioner
Black, in demanding her resignation, pays
her high compliment, and refers to her
very efficient service. Her term of office
does not expire for ten months, but some
Chicago back ward politician wanted the
place Of the poor woman, and so she was
officially asked 70 resign. She has never
taken any active part in politics, and not
single charge is laid at her door for VIC
lation of the civil service rules. As one Of
the Chicago papers put it, " Ii there is one
office in the United States which has had
less politics in its management than an
other, it is the Pension Agency at Chicago
under Miss Ada C. Sweet" This woman
who has demonstrated her ability to coir-
petently fill a place OF trust without drag
ging the Office in the 5lums Of politics. OF
bemeaning herself to bosses and ward
strikers, declined to accede to the reques;
for her resignation, and with remark
able spirit at once laid the case
before the President himself, who
has declared that in subordinate posi-
tons there should be no ousting of compe
tent and faithful officials who have moi
made their places means to partisan ends
The whole country admires the pluck OF
Miss Sweet, and if vote could be taken
to-day upon the merits of the question, il
would be safe to wager that by such ma
iority as no official ever received, the man
hood Of the country would vindicate Ada
Sweet

THE TROUBLE IN DAKOTA.

Among the very last acts of President
Arthur was the throwing open of the
Winnebago Reservation. This opened to
settlement some of the very best lands in
the southern portion of Dakota. 1t was
an act the people of Dakota had long de-
sired and earnestly petitioned for, and it
gave widespread satisfaction in the West
generally. 1t benefited large Number
some 2,000-of settlers, and did no injury
to the Indian tribes. On the incoming of
Mr. Cleveland, and after settlers had en-
tered upon the lands, steps were taken by
an Indian Rights Association TO in
duce the new Executive to revoke the
order of his predecessor The matter was
sent 10 the Assistant Acknowledgement,
who reported, sustaining the act of Pres
ident Arthur; but Attorney General Gar.
land, in reviewing that opinion, holds
adversely to his Assistant, and declares
that the settlers are not entitled to remain

CONGRESSMAN HENLEY.

Dir. Congressman Henley was the author
of a document submitted TO President
Cleveland intended to be communicative
Of the better portion of the members of the
Democratic party in California 1t mas
not had the effect its author anticipated
1t was a vicious, classifying and snarling
paper, and just about what might have
been expected from the man. He went
out of his way in that document, as he had
previously in Congress, to assail Senator
Stanford, and indulge in scurrility regard
ing that gentleman. The document was
too nauseous for even some of Henley's
radical friends. George Hearst was the
first to repudiate it; prominent Democratic
papers followed in the washing of hands,
and finally the party journal Of his own
bailiwick, the Santa Rosa Democrat, turns
upon him, and warns him in unmistakable
terms of the folly of his procedure. Various
articles have appeared from day 10 day in
the press the reverse Of complimentary to
Mr., Henley, and he is now put squarely
upon the defensive as grabber OF public
lands; trespasser upon the rights Of
Reservation Indians; rs OF doubtful citi-
zenship; as a political demagogue and an
ambitious but incompetent boss. We have
paid but little attention to Mr. Henley 5
aspirations or troubles heretofore-the
game is not worth the powder. Henley
can crush no one, and it is altogether prob
able that his latest effort to rule the Dem
ocratic camp will result in reducing him to
the ranks. 1t certainly has not advanced
his political ambition, and has in no wise
done harm TO his enemies

Der of the paper i'll which it was published

"a SUBSCRIBER" CORTLAND. Cal, asks ::
What are the dimensions of what is
known as the Great Salt Lake Basin. and
| the dimensions of Salt Lake valley proper ?"
Repfy-The Great Salt Lake Basin or
| valley is about 100 miles in length, from
| north to south, and from 80 to 40in brt a IT'D

| DEMOCRATIC PRESERVES. - The Buffalo
| Ne7cs says: = Mrs. DR.. Suuber, an old lady
OF Ovid, Il. Y. whose sympathies have
always been strongly with the Democratic
party, put up four cans of piums in 1850,
| with n determination not TO open them
until another Democratic President should
be elected. One can was recently sent TO
| President Cleveland, and the old lady was
delighted with a very pleasant letter of
acknowledgment"
If the old lady is only going TO hand out
one can of these Bourbon preserves 10 each
Democratic President, there is danger that
her near posterity will not live to see the
remaining supply delivered, unless. hap
PLY, they should be mysteriously con-
verted into Republican jam.

ask what was the highest figure at which
gold was quoted during the var Properly

upon the lands, and must be elected by the

Government. The news now is, that the
settlers propose to resist any effort to dis
place them, as they went in after the
proclamation of President Arthur,
and therefore lawfully, and have ac-
CURED rights, etc. 1t is altogether
probable that these men cannot be driven
from the lands except By force of arms, and
in that event there will be 9 small-sized
civil war in a Dakota paradise and loss of
human life Concerning the Indians, it
appears that they number ten hundred all
told, and of these some seven hundred are
women and children or decrepit and very
aged. There is remaining in the reserva-
ton about 10000 acres for these Indians,
or nearly half mile square Of land to
every individual Of the tribe; a very goodly
sized farm, it viii be seen, for each, and il
divided among families the acreage will be
between 400 and 500 acres to each family
Under the new policy of treating the
Indians, they are to be educated
given lands in seyeralty, taught the art o
agriculture, held amenabtc to the laws
and entitled to all the benefits and protec
ton of the law. This means that the
policy of sequestering broad huntins
grounds is to give way to the more civil
lied and peaceful methods Of labor L
sustain life It remains to be seel
whether President Cleveland viii attemp
to undo what President Arthur and Secre
tary Teller did, and it is a question indee'
if ne can nullify the act referred to. L

where the people thoroughly understand
the matter, and have long waited for tn
restoration of these lands, which are il
longer needed by the remnants of tn
Indian tribes, and which cannot utilize tn
| lands or bring them under cultivation.
