1t is a significant fact that the five
Republican members of the House For
eign Affairs Committee are solidly OPP
posed to any Chinese Restriction Act at
all. They want to throw open the coun.
try to all the coolies that may choose to
come, and their views are a fair index to
Republican sentiment beyond the Rocky
Mountains. If the people of the Pacific
Coast ever obtain any relief from the
Chinese incubus it will not be through
either the influence or the good will oil

WHAT KILLS THE PEOPLE.

ASAN'
From the vital statistics which DR..
Billings has classified, the appearance is
that the respiratory machinery is the
feeble point in the American man and
woman. Diseases of the lungs and dis
eases directly related to pulmonary dis
orders are out of all proportion to any
other in their fatality. Consumption is
the disease which, taken separately,
kills more persons per thousand Of the
population than any other one disease,
and pneumonia is next to it. Consump-
tion kills 81 per 1000, pneumonia 63 per
1000, and the largest number per 1000
to which any other malady is fatal is 50.
But if we class together consumption,
pneumonia, heart disease and bronchitis,
the fatality OF this group is l9l per
1000; which amply shows that the
respiratory organs are the dangerous
spots; the points in our vital fortitication
through which the enemy gets in with
greatest facility and where he does most
harm. Consumption is, it is true, classed
as a general constitutional malady; but
many forms of disease that are classed
as consumption are specially diseases OF
the lungs or their pleural envelopes, and
all are fatal through their ravages upon
this organ. What are the causes and
what is to be the consequence of the
facts that the statistics thus make out !?
No doubt the terrible climate east of the
Rocky Mountains, where the great bulk
of Americans live, is the irst cause.
Over a w~idely-extended rart Of that Sec
tion Of country the thermometer ranges
from season to season through ITO to 100
degrees of the Fahrenheit scale. We
have there in the same cities a Russian
Winter and an italian Summer; and as
neither high nor low temperature, but
the capacity to withstand great changes
from one to the other is the true trial OF
vital force, the people are exposed to
such a test as none other is ever called
upon to endure. Lungs and hearts and
bronchial tubes are not necessarily feebler
in America than elsewhere; but the lungs
that might suffice in another climate, and
keep q man alive till he died Of the
malady prevalent in that country, what.
ever it may be, will very likely not suf-
fee in a climate with the extremes
of the East. II people in the East or
elsewhere, when in the first stages of
consumption or any lung trouble, would
at once com west and breathe the pure,
dry air of the Rockies and Sierras, and
otherwise care for themselves as they
should, we venture to predict that in
nine cases out of ten a decided and per-
haps permanent relief will be realized
within a few months.
