Alcohol for Diphtheria.

Alcohol, we make bold 10 say, is the
prince Of a~ntiscptics and the most perfect
and reliable medicine Of which we have
any knowledge in diphtheria. Diluted
with equal parts Of water and given in
small and repeated doses, the malignant
symptoms Of this most fatal mnlady soon
disappear, and conyalescence becomes
assured. IL is interesting TO note with
what facility the alcohol dissolves tho
diphtheric emulation in the throat, lowers
the temperature and calms the pulse,
showing It's destructive action upon the
germs OF the disease, which have been
absorbed by the glands and gained access
10 the blood. This remedy has been used
by US In the treatment Of diphtheria since
1878, during which time no case Of the
disease has slipped through our hands
except in n solitary instance. and that
case was in articuio morris before the
remedy was given. The remedy Is also
propliylactic TO the disease, nB we have
found In many instances where IL has
been e~xpcdient 10 quarantine the patient.
For this purpose IL is only necessary for
exposed persons 30 use the remedy,

A MEMORIAL Of tue Portland Board
OF Trade has be- n presented TO Cong
ress asking that the salaries OF f.de-
raj judges be increased to s. 5000 u year.
There are SO district court judges
10 the various states whose salaries
run from $500 to 5000, the Judge of
the northern district of California
alone enjoying the last salary. None
Of the territorial judges receive more
than $500. and rs the figue il
that paid ia the majority of the feder-
al district courts, there IL very little

lotteries and Dreams.

In lotteries and kindred forms of
gambling, men reject trust in other folks
iunk. and believe instead in condolences
q d dreams. They find the number on
which they finally stake their fate in all
OF absurd End unmeaning ways.
ALI the tens Of thousands Of ticket hold
ers in a great lottery have selected their
number in some way satisfactory to
themselves, about which we hear nothing
when the result is a failure, as in ninety
nine cases out of hundred il necessarilJ is.
But when the result chances TO be q sue
cess, as in a small proportion of cases it
must be, the whole story is gravely re-
lated in the papers as though the number
actually bringing the prize had been de-
uermined beforehand by some scientific
process Of reasoning, and success assured
by the exercise Of good judgment and
ingenuity.
Yet it Is idle 10 inveigh against the
folly Of such fancies and superstitions.
They have existed in all ages and among
all races from time immemorial. Carry
ing in themselves their own contradict
ton, they also carry IN themselves what
to believers in luck appears their full
confirmation. For he does not observe
that the ideas about luck which run
through his mind are contradictory, and
in their self contradiction provide for
every event. When success comes to him
by following one idea about luck his
faith in luck Is confirmed; but when
failure arrives he Is not a whit less salts
fed that he holds the true faith about
luck, for he has another doctrine about
that event also. -Richard A. Proctor.

Gen. Harrison's Southern Policy.

A. b. Williams, editor of the

of the policy of the incoming adj

lie utterances upon any public
question. Every day | am solicited
by special correspondents Il the
press to speak upon this subject or
that, but have invariably declin.
ed, and to your appeal Tor some eX-
preston upon the question that
interests you must for the pres.
ent make the same answer. | I'M.
derstand that you have yourself
been satisfied with the expression
made by me in my public utter
ances to visiting delegations dur.
ing the campaign. When the sur
prise and disappointment which
some OF your people have felt over
the result has passed away, and
they give some calm thought to the
situation, | think they will be as
much surprised as | am that they
should in thought or speech i'm
pute to me unlriendliness toward
the South. The policies in legis.
lation advised by the Republican
party, | believe, are wholesome for
the whole country, and if those who
in their hearts believe with us
upon these questions would act
with us, some other questions that
give you local concern would
settle themselves.

THE LABOR VOTE.

1t would be needlessly cruel 10
deprive our free trade friends any
comfort they can derive from the
election returns of this year. One
of these is the belief they cherish
that it was not much OF "a PrOtec-
ton deluge after all in some quar-.
ters where they expected TO be
wamped by the votes of the work
ing classes. In the manufacturing
districts of New Jersey and con-
nect!cut, and the two mining coun-
ties of Pennsylvania, aud even IN
the Ken slngton district OF fhila-
delphia, the Republican vote either
actually fell of rather or gained
less than elsewhere. From this
they sagely infer that other causes
than the issue between free trade
and Protection must have decided
the election or else the Republican
vote would have been heaviest
where the wage.earners are the
most numerous.

That the Jail should be moved
