The North Salem thoroughfares.
Since its fist appearance in our
city there have been but the two
cases of varioloid and the four cases
of smallpox in the Schwab family.
The patients have all recovered, lit
tie the worse for the confinement.
The result of the scare to the COM
munity is seen in the large number
of persons that have been vacciuated.
This little smallpox experience
has served to demonstrate to us that
more people are scared to death than
die of this disease. Where vaccina-
tion is performed and strict meas
ures of quarantine observed a small
pox epidemic is impossible. We
have learned as well that we can,
by dieting, prepare our system for a
siege of smallpox. Persons who
prepare for it by the plenteous use OF
fruit, lemons, eIc., need fear no
danger for it passes through them

Woman In the Church.

The annual conference Of the Methodist
Episcopal church in New York To- day
will be compelled to wrestle with the
question Of whether women may be az
mitted as delegates thereto. Several
Western conferences elected women
delegates, and among them are Mrs.
Angeline +. Newman and Miss Frances
Z. Willard, both of whom are well.
known in the field of woman's work and
abundantly able to hold their own in
debate. Something more than gallantry
enters into this discussion, as It involves
the idea of constitutional right. Many
eminent church authorities declare that
women are ineligible to seats In this body
because such action Ii opposed TO the
discipline OF the church and the whole
history Of Methodist legislation. But, on
the other hand, women maintain that
they are the essential foundation of the
church, as without them there would be
fewer churches and fewer worshipers
The question Is one Of far.reaching i'm.
portance on the woman suffrage move
ment, and Its decision at this conferenc,
will be awaited with much interest.

Poor Defenders,

The Constitutional Defense Association
OF America rejoices in a most imposing
name, but does not seem to be able to
live up to 1t. Its executive council after
much urging was induced to prepare q
petition to Governor Beaver to inquire
into the violation of the constitution of
the state by railroad companies as coal
operators, but on being informed that
the governor and attorney general were
considering the matter these defenders OF
the constitution meekly subsided. A
committee was appointed with ex. Cover
nor Hoyt as chairman, and they have
just made a report which says that
though the legislation affecting these
corporations which took place under the
old constitution, may, in the light of
experience and better Judgment, be con-
sidered as unsatisfactory and objectiona.
bic, yet the acts 80 passed and powers
conferred thereby are not only unaffected
by the new constitution, but do not ap.
pear to be subjects for any practical leg
ialati0n having for Its object the abridge-
ment, alteration or abrogation of such
powers, which seem to have been legally
and constitutionally exercised by the cor
porations."
Governor Hoyt is good lawyer aud a
clesr.headed man, and his opinion gives
much weight to the conclusion his CON-
mittee has reached ; but it must be mani.
fest to him that the association for con-
stitutional defense, to which he be-
longs. is deprived of a great
part Of its opportunity to execute its
aim, IL the railroads chartered under the
old constitution are beyond the control
OF the new. And it seems as though
In considering the question, the liza
bility under which they have fallen,
by accepting the benefits of new leg
islation, has not been duly weighed nor
has the growing disposition to treat
charters as privileges revocable by the
state for abuse, been Justly appreciated.
The idea that corporate power once
conveyed cannot be impaired by the
power which conferred it, no matter how
great public injury may be done under it,
nor how much 1t may be abused, is one
that seems to have taken full possession Of
the Constitutional Defense associations
advisers and under it little of coLstitu.
tional defense may be expected from the
association ; and little is got.

Take Care,

These are the days when malaria and
his elder brother pneumonia 60 about
seeking whom they may devour. They
are given ample scope for work in the
restlessness displayed by many people
over the heavy winter clothing that in
the 6rst visitation of spring weather be-
comes SO irksome. A well-known medical
authority says that winter clothing should
not be materially changed until about the
middle Of May or in early June. People
forget that when a period of severe cold
is followed by a thaw, there is more
danger OF cold than when the ther-
inometer is down to zero. A perspiring
man may with impunity sit in the chilly
air OF winter for time but when there
ha great thaw under the same circum-
stances OF perspiring, he is in danger, for
the reason that there is a process of
evaporation going on and the body is
throwing of heat in manner that makes
one more peculiarly susceptible to cold.
therefore, keep your warm clothing until
tns weather becomes settled. The sudden
cnanges that are TO be expected in this
latitude need TO be carefully guarded
against. Those who neglect these time.
honored precautions may have the daisies
growing overt them before summer comes.

Tna now chief justice, Melville w.
Fuller, will be the seventh actual occupant
OF the place since the adoption OF the con
stitution. John Jay was first, from 1850 tc
1895. Then came In succession, John Rut
ledge, who was rejected by the Senate
William Gushing, who after confirmation
declined Oliver Ellsworth, from 1896 &c
1899; John Jay reappointed In 1900. but de.
cined; John Marshall, 1901 to 1885
Roger b. Taney, from 1886 to 1864
Salmon 7. Chase from 1864 to 1878. In
December, 1873, President Grant nomi.
mated George ii. Williams to the oflice,
but withdrew his name before action by the
Senate, and In January, 1874, nominated
Caleb Cushing, whose name was also with
drawn. Morrison II. Waite was then nomi
mated, on January 10, 1874, wss confirmed
by the Senate on January al, and was In.
stalled IN Office on March 4. He held the
position until his death ON tho 23i of

srrelephons Connection
The chief Justice.

The president seems to have exercised
his customary good judgment in the selec.
tlon of chief justice, il all that is said
Of Mr.. Fuller by those who know him is
true, as it may be assumed to be. Asa
lawyer who has never occupied public
position, he IL not well known to the
country but 1t Is rather an argument in
behalf Of his fitness for the chief justice.
ship, than against it, that he has never
been o public officer. The roll of Off.
cials does not, by any means, include all
the worth Of the country; nor even any
great proportion Of 1t /; 1t does not in.
clude even the majority of those who
hnd congenial occupation In politics
and much less does it embrace all the
good lawyers. 1t is at this day more
than ever the fact that the great lawyer
cannot afford to be public servant.
The profit from the practice Of his pro-
fcssion is much greater than that which
Official station affords him. Mr.. Conk-
ling became poor in the Senate at salary
OF Eve thousand dollars year, and when
he resigned stepped at once into an in
come of hundred thousand. Mr..
Fuller, it ia said, has been offered divers
political positions, but has preferred the
practice OF the law because more
congenial as well as more profitable.
It is very easy to see why the wise law
yer in the enjoyment Of a good practice
will prefer its independence TO the de.
psndence of the public functionary.
There are some public Offices of such high
honor and power as to outweigh the OBJ.
lection to their unpro6tableness and sub
lection to criticism and control but
they are not many. A place On the su.
preme bench of the country is among
them. The salary is wholly inadequate
TO the station, and no lawyer coming
from the large practice Of a commercial
centre fails to make q great pecuniary
sacriAce in accepting it. This should not
be 30. The emolument OF the Office
should suffice to make Its occupant inde-
pendent and free from care for the future
Of his family. He should be paid with
something more material than honor.
He should have the cash value of his ser.
vice. None of the high officials OF the
government have adequate salaries, un.
less 1t may be the president, and as a
consequence the need of q private fortune
TO sustain the dignity Of the Office Is SO
verely felt.

NEW YORK Ia slowly getting awake TO
the fact that public safety demands under.

plain EDglisb--and 1t seems about time to
do i'--somebody is guilty Of murder and

Because 1t Is cheaper to hang the wires

with white lead, that plan has been fol-
lowed and every now and then, though the
fallibility OF human nature as illustrated
In some one OF the thousands OF employees OF

ings proves. II the lessons given In New
York are TO be repeated in oil parts OF the
land In the same proportion the slaughter
by electricity will be quite equal to that by
mad dogs and natural lightning combined.
This is only ono OF many good reasons for
putting the wires under ground In cities.
The pole nuisance, the tangle and confu.
sion after great storms, the occasional mas
sacre of a citizen by dropping wire that
pulls him from his wagon are few OF the
other equally good reasons for the speedy
burial OF the wires.
