Cases OF smolters' Vertigo.

DR.. Decaisne is reported as having re-
Gently investigated a number Of cases Of
vertigo in smokers. Out Of 03 patients,
30 were between 20 and CO years Of age.
More than half of them suffered, in ad.
dition, from digestive troubles, with con.
stipation alternating with disrrhna, in
somnia, palpitations, dyspnea and
diuresis. In a third Of the number there
was marked intermittence Of the pulse,
and granular pharyngitis, while Others
suffered from aphthm, amblyopia, etc.
Thirty-seven were persons who smoked
habitually on an empty stomach; and
these suffered from vertigo, principally
In the morning. The vertigo generally
conceded with suppression Of perspira-
ton and diminished excretion Of the
urine. The treatment consisted mainly
In regulating OF SURPRISING the cause,

Child Labor In Germany.

The German laws are as near the ideal

must be allowed all Sundays and oil holi-
days, and regularly one hour at noon,
and half an hour In the forenoon and half

BURLINGTON STRIKE.

The burlington managers have taken
an exceedingly bold stand with refer
ence to the strike on their road, and the
public will wait with very considerable
interest the result of this courageous
action. The association of locomotive
engineers is the strongest of all the
labor organizations. 1t includes work
ingmen of more than average intelli
genee and men who have heretofore
been noted for their conservatism. 1t
is likewise wealthy organization,
and can afford to stand out
longer than any other labor
union. Yet in the face of these
facts the Burlington management have
determined to ignore the strike, and
have issued an order which is equiva-
lent TO giving the strikers notice of
their discharge from the employment of
the company unless they are on their
The meaning of this is plain enough;
and without regard to the merits of
the controversy between the road
and its employees, the bold stand
taken by the Burlington people
will to certain extent enlist
public sympathy in behalf of the
road. As to what the strikers will do,
is a matter of conjecture. Their
position is by no means an
enviable one. If they are licked
in their first strike, it will amount to a
virtual disarmament of the organiza
ton, consequently the struggle is life
and death one. Then they are ham,
pered by the knowledge that they have
not the sympathy of the Knights of
Labor in this movement. 1t is true that,
in obedience to Master Workman Pow
DERLY'S Instructions, the Knights will
refrain from taking an active part
against them; yet IL. is equally apparent
from the tone of the POwDERLY letter
that the Knights will not give any ell
enlargement to the striking engineers.
They will have to fight their battle
against the Burlington company single
handed, and, under these conditions, it
seems to be moral impOSSibility that
they should win. If they do win it will
give labor organization prestige that
it has never before had, and if they fail
it will probably be the beginning of the
diSintegration of labor unions. We
shall see what we will see.

WILD DOGS OF HALALEI.
The Vicious and Destructive
Breeds That Infest the Lava
u;fSe


Breeds That Infest the Lava
81 Hills.
San Francisco Examiner
1.-THE wild dogs of Halalei," said C.. L.
OrdWay, who arrived here from Hawaii
a few days since on the schooner Lur-
line, ''are getting to be very trouble
some. There are hundreds, if not thou
sands OF them on Halalei, and they are
extremely destructive to the goats and
sheep that Craze there. Owners of stock
them all the time, but they make little
Roadway. 1t is rare that they kill any.
They are too cunning.
"They have also tried trapping and
batting them with poisoned meat, but
this does not fetch them either They
are as willy and suspicious as fox. and
refuse to have anything to do with that
which looks the least bit suspicious.
I'm the territories of Idaho and Mon
tana," continued Mr.. Ordway, who is an
Englishman. Il have heard there are
men who make business of killing
wolves for the bounty and skins by
placing a bit of poisonous tallow candle
on stick, at intervals, round a circuit
of many miles. The sheep and goat
owners tried this, Oh the recommended
ton of an old mountaineer, on the wild
dogs, but they wouldn't take the tallow.
''These wild dogs are of dirty yell
lOWlSh color, with sharp, almost white,
noses and upright, sharp ears that look
as if shipped off with shears. Their
teeth are as sharp as needles, and a
couple of them stick out very long.
They weigh about seventy-five pounds
each when grown, and can run like a
deer.
''They are by no means particular
about using their legs, however. They
are very vicious. especially when their
young are with them, and enjoy fight.
The kanakas are afraid Of them. 1t is
not known how these dogs got wild, for
every body met at Halalei told me
they were always there.
''They are breeding pretty fast, and
the residents of the island don't know
what to do about it. They roam III bands
of from four to six usually, and sleep in
rocks. Lately they have been getting
away with not only the sheep and
goats, but the calves even UP to a year
old.
1.-Two or three wild dogs can easily
down yearling, while the others in the
pack stand round and nip the other cat
tie and keep them at bay. Once calf
is down they cut his throat and suck the
blood.
''They are different from any other
species of wild dogs 1 have ever yet
heard Of. 1t is thought that only regu-
1arly' organized forces will be able to
thin them out, and the scattering resi-
dents of Halalei are now preparing to
make WAR upon them in earnest with
imported greyhounds and guns loaded

1T is DEMOCRATIC.

This year there must be no miSunder-
standing as to which party is fayoring
tariff reduction and which not.
President CLEVELAND in his message
made tariff reform part of the policy
of the Democratic party, and there will
be no receding from his position.
Mr.. BLAINE in his letter from Paris
just as unequivocally land seconded by
JOHN SHERMAN made protection the
policy of the Republican party and free
rum and tobacco their watch cry.
Those Democrats in congress who
still cling to Republican principles may,
with Republicans, defeat important
tariff legislation this winter, but the
great mass of Democrats throughout
the country nave accepted the presi-
dents message in good faith and taken
into the party his recommendations to
cut down taxation.
The st. Louis platform will be in har-
mony with him, and the campaign suf-
ficiently long to educate him who would
learn to the difference between Re-
publican war taxation and Democratic
tax reform.
There must be no mistake made as to
what Democrats are contending for
this year. The issue is squarely de-
fined, and the man who is ignorant of it
should read Mr.. CLEyELAND'S message.
1t is only question of time when the
Republican orator will be assuring the
country that fair trade and honest trade
has always been a constituent principle
of this party.
This dishonesty can best be counter
acted by letting no opportunity pass to
convince the voters that the presidents
message is part of the platform of the
Democratic party, and the issue on
which it intends to win in the next cam
paign.
" hat the Republicans in all honor in
tend to do is best outlined i'm recent
telegram from Washington to one of
their own organs.
That the Republicans can prevent the pas
sage of a general tariff bill, if they desire to
do SO, is apparent Clearly it is the plan of
the Republicans if they can bring il about
and not take the actual responsibility upon
themselves. They of course agree to the
proposition that there is a necessity for re-
duction of the revenue or else a way Of ap-
plying the accumulation to the payment of
the debt. but they prefer to simply reduce the
revenue By way Of the tobacco tax and keep
down the surplus by the purchase of bonds
in the market rather than attempt general
revision of the tariff at this time.
Free tobacco and rum, but 10 reduc-
ton on the necessities of life, is unmis-
takably the Republican policy for 1883.

thing honorably could to bring about

thing I honorably could to bring about
so desira bic an event.
And it is just the very feeling eX
pressed by Mr. GEORGE that gives to
Mr.. CLEVELAND a phenomenal strength
in all parts of the country. He is the
first man to occupy the White house
since the time of ANDREW JACKSON
who has had the moral courage and the
patriotism to declare war against mo-
nOpoly. He is the one obstacle in the
way of the men who claim all legisla-
ton for their benefit and care not who
suffers.
Under the old order of things, under
Republican regime, congress protected
monopoly by law, and monopoly pro-
tected itself by combination.
Congress made the monopOlists by q
protective tariff, and the few who were
standing by took advantage of it by the
formation of trusts.
GROVER CLEVELAND has called a
halt in the march of protection ideas.
His last annual message was the signal
for stopping. OF course the politicians
who are in training with the monOpo-
lists do not like him. But he is stronger
than the politicians. He is stronger
than the bosses in his own party.
Every time they measure swords with
him they go to the ground. They are
amazed at the prowess of this political
Samson, not realizing that his strength
is i'll his fearless advocacy of cause
that lies close to the popular heart.

THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.

The newly awakened interest in the
public library matter which the cham
Der of commerce has called out should
not be allowed to die down. The estab-
llShment OF library adequate to the
needs of st. Paul people is of the great
est Importance. 1t is much to st. Paufs
discredit that such an institution was
not provided long ago.. 1t is a notorious
TACT that the present library, both in
itself and in its housing, is the merest
makeShift. Yet poor as it is, it is made
use of by constantly increasing num-
berS. The fact that the city does not
possess decent library is not due to
any Discrimination on the part of the
people to avail themselves of the privi-
leges which a we'll equipped library
would confer. Taken as a whole, the
intelligence and culture of st. Paul's
population would compare favora-
ably with that of any city in
the country. Yet there is hardly
single New England village
which does not possess public library
far superior to that which dishonors the
name in st. Paul. Still, no reflection
should be understood to be cast upon
the managers of the present Institution.
They have done well, wonderfully well,
with the limited means placed at their
disposal, but those means have been in
no sense adequate.
What ST. Paul should have is coliec-
ton OF books comprising not only all the
standard works of modern times, but
those which have become classic in vari-
Gus languages. She should be able to
cater to the intellectual wants of the
student and the historian as we'll as to the
amusement of the lover of fiction. And
a sufficient fund should be at the dis
posal of the managers to enable the pur-
chase of such current publications as a
board of judiciouSly chosen persons
might select. Not only that, but the Ii
brary should be given separate home,
which INTELLECTUALLY should be fitting
and credit to the city.
All this the city owes to the people in
simple justice, and this it could provide
from moiety of its liquor license in
come without adding one penny to the
taxes of the people. There could not be
a better expenditure of the peoples
money, nor one which would rebound
more quickly to their direct and personal
advantage. Let us have new and re-
spectacle library and library building,
by all means.

Marriage Among the Greeks.

Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.
A Greek wedding is most tedious
affair, lasting a whole day, though the
religious service lasts but an hour, and
usually takes place at the brides house.
According to the wealth of the family,
the service and number of priests is i'm
posing and is the most peculiar in the
far interior. The young bride has her
eyes sealed and is led in by her maids
of honor, and she takes the bridegroOm's
hand and they kneel upon cushion i'm
front of the priest. There are two
wreaths provided of tawdry artificial
flowers tied by long ribbons.
These are placed upon the two bowed
heads and changed back and forth three
times. A long service is read, incense
burned and q service chanted and the
rings exchanged and blessed, and finally
they are pronounced married, and the
priest takes a glass of wine and piece of
cake and his pay and goes his way. The
guests then feast and dance all day, and
the poor bride, still blinded, is seated
astride half barrel of light wine, and
there she must sit all day long until it
is all drank, without eating or drinking.
When the wine is all gone the brides
maids take her down and unseal her
eyes, give her food and undress her.
Sometimes she faints from exhaustion.
This same ceremony is in vogue among
the BulgarianS also.

THE FAR NORTHWEST.

We notice in Chicago paper very
sneering alluSiOn to Tacoma and Seat
tie, w. r., to the prospects which those
cities claim, and to the methods of the
real estate men whose activity has done
much in making them what they are.
Our contemporary, being in position
to ascertain the facts. should have
known better than to voice the arrogant
contempt with which Eastern journals
have been in the habit of alluding to the
West.
AS a matter of fact, the people of
Tacoma and Seattle can be hardly too
eXtravagant in their predictions of what
the future has in store for them. II
ever towns had reason for believing
themselves destined to become great
cities, certainly these two have. AS the
Western termini of the Northern Pacific
and the probable termini OF another
great railway system understood to be
reaching out toward the Pacific coast,
they would have a great future simply
as the supply points Of that vast extent
of far Northwestern territory which lies
beyond the control of the Twin Cities.
But when added to these the advan-
tages are considered which they derive
from being located OH body of water
directly connected with the ocean and
navigable by ships of the largest size;
when the fact is reflected upon that
ships from China and Japan can come
to them, discharge their cargoes, and
those cargoes can be reshipped to East
ern markets in less than half the time
required by the old methods of COM
merce and transportation, then it will
be seen that the possibilities of Tacoma
and Seattle are huge.
If in describing these prospects the
real estate men of the two Sound cities
paint the picture in rather glowing
cOlors. they may well be pardoned. 1t
is in the West that nothing is impossi-
b lie, not excepting the fulfillment of
real estate mems prophecies.

course, claim to be put on the same foot
ing with other religions, SO far as gov
ernment interference is concerned. But
while it-remaiuS in constant defiance of
the law and the government, it is de-
serving of no consideration whatever.
There has been exhibited too much
leniency towards Mormonism and its
professors.
The time has come for harSher meth
obs than those which have prevailed,
and at which, for the most part, the
Mormons have simply laughed. There
should be absolute prohibition, stronger
than that which is now supposed to OBJ
tain, against polygamy, coupled with
such penalties as are now visited upon
the ordinary bigamist. Until, through
the enforcement of some such measure,
polygamy is thing of the past, Nor
monism should only be recognized by
the government as a thing accursed.
Petitions, such as that sent to the
senate by the citizens of Northfield, will
do much to keep congress alive to a
sense of its duty. They should pour in
from every hamlet, village, town and
city in the land.

makes me sick TO think of the mischief

Mrs. Thompson was in morbid state

it is well known that good deal OF
miscellaneous charity iSworse than use

Commodore Vanderbilt enjoyed the
great power that money gives as q
strong boy enjoys athletic sports, or as
sullivan at his best enjoys the power of
dealing swinging blows. And he
despised the weak and feeble, and held
that boys that were pining and whin
ming ought to die at once and relieve
the earth of an incumbrance.
w. III. Vanderbilt was much more hui
name and considerable, and had real
sympathy for the weak and inefficient.
But he always felt his wealth to be
burden, and was always petulant be-
cause he had to carry it. Il don't see
what good it does NEAL this money
that you say is mine," he was wont to
grumble to his friends: Il can't eat it;
can't spend it; in fact, never saw it
and never had it in my hands for a mo-
ment. l dress no better than my private
secretary and can not eat as
much as my cOachman. live in big
servants boarding house, am bothered

who use it mainly for their own benefit.
There's that man over On that next
corner isn't worth hundredth part as
much as l am, but he enjoys more of
life than l do. 1t isn't half fair"
Probably if the exact truth were
known ''magnateS" do not really enjoy
life much if any better than other peO-
pie, and the constant care and pretec-
ton of their property involves good
deal of anxiety; but. as nobody declines
the presidency of the United States
when offered by a majority of the
electoral college, so the man possessing
the strength of mind to refuse 81, 100000

Puck thought that HENRY GEORGES

ingly published picture Of the anti
poverty champion as pigmy laying

on the scale on which, in gigantic pom
derosity, Mr.. CLEVELAND was stand

style of Mr.. GEORGES reference to the
cartoon III the editorial columns of the
Standard completely takes the sting out
oft, and leaves Puck wondering why it
was SO foolish as to play with edged
tools. With becoming modesty Mr..
GEORGE says that the cartoon may pos
sibly represent the political. value of any
Endorsement from him, but that
didn't deter him from contribut-
ing all the influence he had, though it
be but a featherweight, to secure the
nomination of man whose nomination
would insure the certainty of cam
paign OH the tariff issue, no matter what
his party'S platform might be. ''Believ-
ing as | have always believed" saws
Mr.. GEORGE, ''that the fight against the
protective tariff is not merely the first
great national step that can be taken
