CoughinsIn Church.

Whoever, says the Lancet, has attended a place ot worship must have noticed that the storm of coughing which prevails therein, and the throat clearing, which moves like a rabbIe of wrong notes before the church music, are not wholly natural phenomena. They are to large extent avoidable evils, bred of habit and thoughtless imitation, and their very desirable reduction is therefore by no means hopeless. Even where 8 basis of disease underlies the explosion, a little self control could usually do something to lessen it's force or its frequency. The same is of course doubly true in the case of the merely hsbitusl tougher. A variety of medicinal aids might, moreover, be used in support of such voluntary efforts. There is, lastly, the option of refraining from the use of the voice in worship should every other means fail to assure that reasonable degree of quiet which is natural and decent in public worship. Remonstrance on the part of the officiating clergyman affords another possible remedy, and preacher must indeed be often tempted te reprove this form of disturbance ss much in the interest of his hearers as himself. Occa- sionally his judicious interference might be useful. We cannot doubt that it has from time to time been resorted to. It must be rememb bered, however, that nowhere are tact and temper so needful as in the pulpit, and that, however easy of use this corrective may appear, it would be unwise to establish any set method of restraint in case where so much depends on personal discretion. A notice affixed at each entrance-door would probably better answer the same purpose. In one respect, indeed, both clergymen and their lay assistants are open to some degree of blame in the matter. The arrangements for heating and ventilation are defective in almost every church. By seeking out and amending any evident errors in these respects the official members of 8 congregation would at least be doing what they could to abate the coughing nuisance.

A southern paper has discovered that in spite of the systematic suppression of the colored vote in ten States the negroes elected Harrison after all. It shows that in New York State alone there are about 25, ,000 adult male negroes and that 1s,000 is low estimate of their voting strength on the Re- publican side. These black citizens, it cons tends, '.defeated the will of the majority of of the white citizens of the whole country" Cleveland, it asserts in triumphant tones, twas the undoubted choice of the white people and Harrison owes his election to the negroes.

 The United States Geological survey gives some mining statistics which show something
 of the wonderful wealth of this country,
 judged by the immense mineral output for the past year. The total value of all minex-
 als mined in 1887 was $5ss, ,oOe, 900. This is $70, 900, 900 more than the output for 1888, and over $1o0, 900 greater than that for 1885. The years yield is not only the greatest ever produced in this country, but is at least $100, ,000, 900 greater than the output of any other country, and, leaving out England, is greater than that of all Europe.

SENATOR rToRGAN,s GLooM.

The South is still pretty solid, but there is some sense there. Senator Morgan, of Ala- bama, is, unfortunately not conspicuous among these who show it. In his address before the lower branch of the legislature last week he said that the future was livery, very dark" Unless the Republicans adopted Mr. Cleveland's policy, there would be & financial crash within two years moro ap- palling even than that of 1873. His advice to Alabama was to get everything snug-to keep the taxes down by the practice of a rigid economy. Schemes for building up the State, however desirable and alluring in themselves. should be postponed. It was 8 time for standing still, for waiting to see what was going to happen. The north, he said, would be glad to take the ballot away from the negro if the South would consent to the simultaneous reduction of its represen- tation in Congress, but that the South couldn't afford to do. The removal of all the negroes from Alabama would treble the value of property there within year, but they could not be removed by legislation; there was no use in thinking of it. But the white people of the State must continue to stand together, shoulder to shoulder, in order
 to save the State from negro rule.
 This exhibition by the senator is not gen.
 erally applauded, even in his own State
 Thus the Armiston Hot Blast deneunces him as Ian enemy of his State." It says further While the ablest inancier in the country are predicting returning era of prosperity Senator Morgan's prophetic eye can see only dire disaster. While the shrewdest and most far r-seeing business men are preparing for increasing business and rise in values Senator Morgan utters dismal warning oi impending panics. While the commercial world is filed with unerring signs of better ] times, Senator Morgan, like bird of evi
 omen, shrieks, in discordant tones, of Anan cial troubles about to burss upon us. Sena' I tor Morgan has not hitherto proved bril- liant success as 8 political prophet, and hil dark forebodings now will no doubt be as fal from relization as wers his alluring pictures of the immediate future some twenty-eight years ago.
 Senator Morgan had better withdraw into his hole. The light of the new Republican day is evidently very displsasing to him.

The decision of Judge Spser of the United
 States district court of southern Georgia
 concerning the constitutionality of railroad
 combinations in that State is interesting. The
 facts briefly are that the legislature granted 6
 charter for the construction of the Savannah.
 Dublin and Western Short Line railroad,
 which was to parallel in part the Georgia
 Central road. The chartered company con-
 tracted with other parties for the building of
 the line and they turned over the job to an-
 other company, which sold out the whole
 business to the Georgia Central company.
 Certain individuals who had loaned money to
 the original construction contractors brought
 suit to recover it, and Judge Speer decides in
 their favor, declares the sale to the Georgia
 Central illegal, and orders the Short Line in- to the hands of g receiver. This section of the State constitution is quoted by the judge as having been violated: The General Assem- bly, of this State shall have no power to au- thorize any corporation to buy shares or stock in any other corporation in this State or elsewhere or to make any contract or agreement whatever with any such corpora tion which may have the effect or be intend- | ed to have the effect to defeat or lessen com

the logic of those who make the

religious fanatics, who go crazy over
the fear of hell fire. The man who

SPEAKING of plumbing in connec-
ton with scarlet fever, and referring
to the testimony of the health officer
of Baltimore, to the effect that when
the most stringent plumbing regula-
lions went into effect in that city both
scarlet fever and diptheria were
diminished. mentioned in the even
ing Times of yesterday, the LIGHT re-
marks that in the case of Baltimore it
was that of severed city. In San
Antonio the case is different. There is
no doubt that diptheria and scarlet
fever are multiplied a hundred fold
and directly generated through sewer
gas, and the defective plumbing in
severed cities is the cause of thOus-
ands of deaths annually. The LIGHT
says this simply to Obviate any I'M
necessary feeling of alarm concerning
the existence of scarlet fever in this
city, which is by no means as much
a theatened evil as many imagine
and which in this city is by no means
increased by defective plumbing, as
we have no sewer mains and very few
of our residences have pipe cOnnec-
ton between the sleeping and living
rooms and the vault and cess pools for
refuse.
