EXECUTIVE MANSION, April 22, 1886.
The Hon. ]. Pulitzer Hard Luck of the
Poor Fellow as Legislator.
From the Atlanta Constitution,

From the Atlanta Constitution.
Ex Governor Campbell of Missouri,
in a recent talk about the Hon. j. Pull
itzer, publisher of the World, said:
II remember when Joe was elected
to the Legislature, and also when he
only lacked one vote of being expelled
from that body. Pulitzer had within
a few years come up from the position
of roustabout on Mississippi steam
boat to private watchman. Then he
became restaurant waiter, and while
occupying that position he formed the
acquaintance of Carl Schurtz, who
made him reporter of his TVestliche
Post In this way Pulitzer got some
influence in one Of the German wards
and was elected to the Legislature. 1t
was ust at the time that the Demo-
Gratis reclaimed the State by electing
b. Gratz Brown Governor. When
Pulitzer took his seat he was about az
ordinary a looking individual as could
be seen anywhere. His nose looked
almost as big as his face. He immedi-
ately became distinguished as the
ugliest looking man who had ever oc-
cupied seat in our Legislature. He
was as awkward as he was ugly, and in
consequence great deal of fun was
made of him. Every time that he a.
rose to speak he was laughed at. FL
nally one day he got into difficulty with
country member over some trifing
affair and fight ensued. The fellow
got Pulitzer down and was beating
him about the head. Pulitzer in the
mean time got out his revolver, and
taking careful aim, shot his assailant
through the big toe. The wounded
man was laid up for IA day of two, and
Pulitzer was arrested. In the course
OF week be was arranged by the Leg
islature to show cause why he should
not be expelled. Finally vote was
taken, and Pulitzer, who was very un-
popular, had not friend to defend him.
Over half the counties had been called
and only three more votes were need
ed to expel him when | came in. Pull
itzer had seat near me, and noticed
tears in his eyes. felt sorry for the
poor young man, and although | had
but slight acquaintance with him. |
proceeded to defend him. | addressed
the Speaker and told him l had been
absent when the case was under con-
slderation, and | demanded a recon-
sideration, which was granted. Then
l made speech for the defence, in
which | claimed that Pulitzer had first
been assaulted, and being a very
young man, to expel him might blight
his prospects for life. Well, another
vote was taken and Pulitzer was ac-
quilted. He came over to me, and,
putting his arms around me, cried like
child, He said he would never for
get what | had done for dim. for if he
had been expelled he had made up his
mind TO commit suicide. Well, ever
since the fellow has always opposed
me politically"

to enforce its decisions, much encour-
agement is derived from the conceded
good that has been accomplished by
the railroad commissions which have
been organized in many of the States,
which, having little more advisory
power, have exerted a most salutary
influence in the settlement of disputes
between conflicting interests.
In July, 1884, by law of Congress,
a Bureau of Labor was established and
placed il charge of a Commissioner OF
Labor, who is required to "collect in
formation upon the subject of labor,
its relations to capital, the hours of
labor and the earnings of lsboring
men and women and the means of
promoting their material, social, in
tellectua and moral prosperity" The
commission which | suggest could
easily he engrafted upon the bureau
thus already organized by the addition
of two more Commissioners and by
supplementing the duties now imposed
upon it by such powers and functions
as would permit the Commissioners
to act as arbitrators when necessary
between labor and capital under such
limitations and upon such occasions as
should be deemed proper and useful.
Power should also be distinctly con-
ferred upon this bureau to investigate
the causes of all disputes as they occur,
whether submitted for arbitration or
not, so that information may always

The Danger Of Oontagion in Throat
Troubles,

The medical editor of Babyhood
writes A recent case within our
knowledge, in which fatal diphtheria
developed upon what had been believed
to be a simple quinsy, suggests few
words regarding the duty of lsolating
any case of sore-throat where there are
other children in the house. Without
entering upon any disputed points re-
garding diphtherla, it is generally a
greed that the distinctive, visible sign
of it is its peculiar membranous deposit.
A case may present clearly the condi,
itons of common sore-throat,' and
subsequently diphtheria be uumistak-
ably present. For one purpose it is
unnecessary to discuss whether such
cases are diphtheritic from the first, or
become so. The point for parents to
know is the sequence of dangerous
symptoms upon those apparently slight
is not uncommon, and that it is better
for them to isolate child fifty times
unnecessarily than to be neglectful
once.
We would urge, then, that if it is at
all possible, every child suffering from
sore throat be isolated until it is dis
tinctly convalesoent. Physicians are
often embarrassed, in urging the iso-
lation OF patients, by the timidity or
suspiciousness of parents. If in such
case as has been described the ply
sician recommends the precautien of
isolation, the family is of the timid
type, is at once thrown into a panic
assuming that the physician really con,
siders that the case is diphtheria OF
that he expects it will prove to be, anG
that he is concealing the facts, while
really he is only taking proper sanitary
precautions.
Other persons, on the other hand
Immediately interpret the physician
frank statement of his reasons for iso
lating supposed simple case as al
evidence of want of knowledge on hi
part. They apparently think that t,
the properly educated physician, dis
eases are as distinct aud as easily dis
criminated as coins of different demon
nations With such people the onl,
course is to advise isolation, and l.
give the reason for it, and to let then
take the responsibility of neglectin
the suggestion il they choose to do SC
Intelligent people usually are gratefr
for the warning, even If it prove I
have been unnecessary, and althoug
they sometimes chaff the physician a
"fussy."

The Use Of Blinds on Horses.


The custom of putting blinds on
horses indiscriminately, is great er-
ror, Carriage horses look well in
snowy head-gear, and handsome blinds
are great Improvement to the style
and general appearance of real, set-up
carriage horses. But for BUGGY, car,
cart, stage, wagon, truck, and general
travel, they are wholly unnecessary,
and as regards safety, they are detri-
ment rather than an advantage. What
do surface car horses want with blindsg
Horses, like ourselves, want to see
where they are going, and the horse
that SHES, proves that he wants to
keep out of danger, by the very fact
of his shying,
We must consider that a horse lead
ing an artificial life, like ourselves,
walking in the dark in strange place,
dosen't see what is around him if he
has blinds on, and is therefore natural
ly timid and careful. If horse is too
careful, and takes too wide a circuit in
shying, it is with the best intention
from his instincts. But because he
does it little too much, and more than
his driver sees necessary, he should not
be abused, but spoken to softly and
kindly, and thus encouraged, for he
means no wrong, The stupid lunk-
head will go so close to hole that one
wheel will fall into it, while the horse
of intelligence, will keep well away
from 1t, but not having studied geom-
etry, he does not know the exact length
of the axles, and the distance necessary
to keep from the danger. Man him
self doesn't keep away from danger at
all times, though he has the advantage
of sense and reason supplied him.-CoI-

If such commission were fairly or.
ganized, the risk of loss of popular
support and sympathy resulting from
a refusal to submit to so peaceful an
lnstrumentality would constrain both
parties to suoh disputes to invoke its

There would also be good reason to
hope that the very existence of such
