A Terrible Disease.

The statement was published In our
dispatches that on Friday a printer died
at Elmira, y. V. with diphtheria, that
day or two before his death his son and
daughter had died from the same disease,
and that two other children were still Ill
with it. 1t would not be surprising il the
whole family were to become the victims
of this terrible scourge.
There are many families in different
parts of the country which have suffered
as severely as that OF the Elmira printer
from diphtheria. In Logansport, ILL.,,
within the last week, it has destroyed the
lives Of more than 100 children, and
Logansport is not a very large town. In
other towns in the North and West the
death rate from diphtheria during the
present month mas been remarkably large,
and it may continue to be larger through
ont the winter.
This disease does not visit alone the
homes OF the poor. where there are COM
paratively few comforts, and where often
the sanitary arrangements are not as good
as the requirements of health demand. 1t
is frequent visitor in the homes OF the
wealthy, where every precaution is taken
TO guard against 1t.
When the presence Of yellow fever is
announced in Southern city, or an cpl
demic OF cholera occurs anywhere in this
country or in Europe, the alarm is WIDE
spread, and the sympathy for the suffer-
ers is general; and yet the fact that tens of
thousands every winter In the Northern,
in, oil oil wi
Tins to diphtheria and pneumonia does
not seem to attract more than passing
notice.
For three years national, State and mu-
nicipal officers have been guarding
against the introduction of cholera into
this country. That is right, Of course; but
what extraordinary measures have been
taken to check the ravaEes of diphtheria.
which finds its victims chiefly among
children?
Some of the ablest physicians in Eu-
rope, under the direction OF the govern
ment or as the representatives OF scien-
tifc bodies, have devoted their Time and
talents to the investigation of the cause
and cure Of cholera, and in this country
the question of investigating the methods
for the cure of yellow fever has received
the attention OF Congress. Why should
not diphtheria receive as much attention
as yellow fever? 1t can be cured In Its
| incipient stage, and to secure it's prompt
treatment there ought to be disseminated
a variety of Information. IL is certainly
terrible scourge and greater efforts to
check Its progress ought to be made.

A TemDerancc Text.

! What text could be stronger or more
appropriate for temperance sermon
| than that furnished by the tragedy which
occurred at Atlanta on Friday, iull and
! graphic account OF which appeared in
| our dispatches yesterday Two young
men. brothers, neither OF whom had
reached the meridian OF manhood, and
! both OF whom, apparently, had the
I promise OF bright future, were
sent unprepared to eternity, one
! by a brothers. hand and the other by
his own hand. They were young men OF
good address, good education, and good
position. aimable and mpanionable
when sober, but quarrelsome and danger
Gus when under the influence of strong
drink. They loved each other, and. when
not intoxicated, either perhaps would
have risktd his life to save that of the
| other. When their minds were clear they
were afectionate brothers, and were re-
spected and their society sought, but
when drinking they were avoided. whisky
seemed to change their good purposes
| into evil ones and to stife all that was
pure in their natures.
The end of their careers came early, as
it not infrequently does in the case OF all
who follow the course they followed.
Maddened by whisky they quarrelea, it
is supposed, and then followed the dread
full tragedy. Who can realize the agony
of the parents as they looked upon the
| faces of their dead boys! II disease had
robbed them OF their children their loss
would have been easier to bear, but the
thought that they died by violence, and
that the violence was caused by whisky,
must indeed have filed their hearts with
grief such as IL is scarcely possible for the
! human mind to understand.
| Its said that the cheeks of the friends
and associates Of the dead men were wet
with tears as they stood beside the vic
/ tins OF the tragedy, and realized that but
| few short hours before the forms now
cold in death were Instinct with life and
hope. They realized, perhaps, more fully
than ever the danger there is in whisky,
and what relentless enemy it is when
! once it gets its victims fully within its
/ grasp.
Oniv few days ago, in Kansas town,
the son Of the celebrated preacher, Rob
ert l.. Collier, was shot to death in the
| presence of his intended bride by young
man who was under the influence Of
/ liquor. Mr.. Collier had been good
friend of the assassin. Whisky was re.
sponsible for the terrible deed.
| These two tragedies, involving persons
who had no relations with criminal
classes, and who had been taught doubt.
less to understand the sacredness OF hu
man life, Illustrate how important 1t il
that men, from childhood to manhood
shall be trained in the ways of temper
ance. and that neither the press nor tht
pulpit can urge too often the necessity
for letting whisky alone, or. If it must bt
used at all, that it should be used witt
extreme moderation.

A Matter for Investigation.

The story OF the Chicago strike, as told
in the late dispatches. does not present
some OF the leaders OF the Knights of La
Dor in a very favorable light. According
to this story the interests of many thous-
ands of men were deliberately sacrificed
in order to advance the political ends OF
a chief OF one of the district assemblies.
Master Workman Butler was a candi-
date for Sheriff Of Cook county-the
county in which Chicago is located-and
he undertook to use the Knights to secure
his election. The inference from the state
ments in the dispatch is that the repre-
sentative OF Mr.. POwderly, who was sent
10 Chicago to assist In settling the strike,
undertook to assist Butler in carrying
out his scheme.
The knights of Labor for their own good
are bound to probe this story relative to
the conduct OF Butler and Barry to the
bottom. If it is true, they will have
brought home to them the fact that one oil
the great dangers with which their or.
| sanization is threatened comes from the
| selfish ambition OF those whom they tenn
D0rarily place in positions of spOnsibil-
ity and power, and they will, therefore, be
better prepared to guard against it.
Mr.. Butter apparently cared very little
| Tor the interests of the strikers. The fact
that they we're not only losing their ac
customed daily earnings, but were also
running the risk Of being thrown out o.
work during an entire winter, was APP
parently matter OF little consequence Il
nm. He was looking out for his own in
terests, and his aim was to get hlmsel
elected to good fat Office.
1.-THE knights of Labor discover tha
thew cannot trust their leaders they will
soon sever their connection with their
organization. They cannot afford to bt
made the ladder BY which the shrewd an;
selfish ones among them climb into prof
liable places.
1t is impossible to say how many OF thu
Chicago strikers will be without work
throughout the winter, but the uumbe
Will probably reach thousands. The
sutferings which the families of some o
them will have TO endure will be terri
ole. When the sufferers remcm be-
that but for Buffers ambition to b,
Sheriff of Cook county they might be il
