How Leprosy is Spreading.

According to M. Besnier, a member of the Paris Academy of Medicine, leprosy, far from disappearing by degrees, is spreading rapidly. Since the extension of the French colonial possessions, soldiers, sailors, traders and mis sionaries have fallen victims to it in large numbers M. Besnier, therefore, exhorts physicians in all countries to study the fell disease, ill order to find means of counter. acting it's ravages, for it has active focuses ot infection in every part of the globe. The malady is transmitted by Q bacillus shaped Ii that found in tuberculosis. .-Pittsbnrg Bulletin.

ST EPHEN J. MEANY.

It is with feelings of sorrow, deep and profound that we are called upon to-day to announce the death of our very dear friend and editor, Stephen J. Meany. The news comes with a startling sudden ness, entirely unexpected, for although his near circle of friends were aware that MT Meany had been indisposed for several days, no one for moment thought of danger, nor did he himself seem to realize his position. To the very last he retained full possession of his faculties, and even when face to face with death almost begged to be allowed to do his usual work. "Work has always been my hobby, and my relief when in trouble" he said only Sunday. And it was even so. For from his childhood days he was 8 worker and sufferer. His early writings for the press, and advocacy of the cause of his dearly belove country, are matter of history. As an Irish patriot he served years of Imprisonment in English jails, but his noble spirit was never subdued, and his last work upon earth was an appeal for Ireland and the Irish people. The subject was to him a second nature--his life work was devoted to the cause. MT Meany had been in Waterbury but two months, and our personal acquaint- ance with him dated from that time; yet our acquaintanceship had warmed and ripened into admiration and love for the man. None knew him but to respect him and cherish his friendship as some thing sacred. He was one of the old school, gentleman always and in all things, kind and considerate and with good word for everybody, and charity for even his most bitter enemies. His love for his native Isle was something wonder full. Day after day he would write upon the condition and hopes of poor Ireland, never tiring of the subject. He was gen erous to a fault, ever ready to help out any worthy object, and could always be found helping the cause and advocating the claims of the weak and unfortunate. As writer he was pronounced success. From his earliest days he had been connected with the press here and in Ireland, and his career was remarkable one. Prosecuted by British tyranny he came to this country, and for years was shining light in New York journalism. Two months ago he took editorial charge of the DEMOCRAT, coming to Waterbury, as he himself said, ''to escape the worry and toll of New York life." He will be sadly missed by his friends here and in New York, and the news will fall doubly heavy upon his aged mother, and his wife and daughter in Ire land who knew nothing of his short illness and are unprepared for the shock. To them we extend our deep and heartfelt sympa- thy.

OUR news article in yesterdays DEMO- GRAF on Printers Wages in Waterbury" has called out rather lengthy, though in terestipg communication, from one who signs himself "A Knight of Labor." The author fails to give his name, and under ordinary circumstances his communication would be consigned to the depths of the waste basket. But as this is subject in which the DEMOCRAT itself is interested we will give this Knight of Labor the space he desires. He says:
 am not printer, still belong to labor organ izations and have often heard the question asked Why is there not a union in this city?' It seemed to be the general understanding that the reason was that the three oldest printing shops in our city are opposed to unions and assemblies and it surely looks if your statement in regard to wages paid in these offices is correct. You cannot blame MT Wheeler for trying to organize a union in New Britain. That is his business; but as you say it is strange that he does not try ganize one in this city, Now, MT Editor have heard much talk about this labor question, but when you get down to hard pan it don't amount to much. How many people do you think will read your DEMOCRAT in preference to the Ameri- can because you pay union prices, how many people will take their job printing to your office or Malone & Cooley's for the same reason? You have had experience and know but venture to say they are not many. The man men who try to give fair days wages for fair days work are crowded to the wall while the rich concerns who will not be dictated to- prosper.

County Racket.

The county commissioners disposed of
a large amount Of important business at
their late session, and with the excep-
ton of the matter of tax reduction, their
action upon the various questions
brought before them will doubtless be
eminently satisfactory to the majority of
the people of the county.
The petition submitted by the people
Of the east end Of the county, asking for
the establishment of two additional
commissioner districts, was found upon
investigation by the board, to be sixty
one names short of the number OF
eligible petitioners required by law.
The aggregate number of petitioners
was 36l, but of this number, only 1Ol
names appeared upon the poll books of
the last annual election, leaving 260
names which could not be legally con-
sidered hence, no further action was
taken in the matter.
We adhere to the opinion, as formerly
expressed through the CHRONICLE, that
no special advantages could be derived
from the establishment of additional
commissioner districts, but on the con-
trary, such action would be detrimental
to the interests of the county at large,
inasmuch as it would materially increase
the running expense Of the county, and
we incline to the belief that upon
further, and more mature consideration
upon the part of the residents Of the
eastern portion ofthe county, they will
realize the in~expediency of such q meas,
ure, and discontinue further effort in
this direction.
The salary of the county attorney was
fixed at $500 per annum, to take effect
with the commencement of the next
term Of Office, on the LIST day of January
1889.
1t has been the desire Of the board for
the past two years to reduce the salary
of this office, hut by reason of the en-
ployment Of improper methods they
have hitherto failed TO accomplish their
purpose. They make this reduction
upon the grounds OF the present salary
of $1,000 per year, being exhorbitant,
and in their opinion, largely in excess
Of a just compensation for the services
rendered, and with a view to increasing
the same in the future, in case Of such
services being materially increased,
which they, at any time, are legally m
powered to DO.

Mr.. Hildebrand, the st. Paul Globe
write-up man, says the air Of Custer is
more inyigorating than at any other
place he ever visited. He fairly quafIed
it while here, declaring that it eXcelled
champagne, inasmuch as it possessed
superior reyivifying qualities, without
its inebriating effects. We commend
Mr.. llildebrand's Judgment TO readers
Of the Globe in less favored localities,
who are daily pining, during the sum
mer season, for a mouthful of fresh air.

PreDare to Clean I'm.

Annapolis has in her previous history
been fortunately exempted from epidemics
such as cholera and yellow fever Judg-
ing, therefore. by past experience, we
have reason to hope such maladies will
not find Judgment here this season. 1t is
impossible, however, to divine the future.
At an hour least expected some fatal
scourge might find its way here. The
best and safest plan is to be on the alert,
using every precaution. As the warm
season will soon set in, it behooves our
citizens to prepare for the same. Let the
streets, lanes, alleys, sinks. out-houses
and all places likely to produce malaria,
or foul atmosphere, be carefully seen to
and cleaned. The public authorities, as
also individuals, have serious interest III
this question at the present time. Most
of all, however, demanding attention are
the sinks. backways and filthy passage
ways to them, and in their vicinity. 1t
can do no harm for each citizen to act as
if he apprehended an approach of the
disease, and observe cleanliness in all
things.

AN EXPLANATION.

What is this "nervons trouble" with
which SO many seem now to be afflicted ?
If you will remember few years ago the
word Malaria was comparatively unknown
to-day it is as common as any word in
the English LANGUAGE, yet this word
covers only the meaning of another word
used by our fOrefathers in times past
So it is with nervous diseases, as they and
Malaria are intended to cover what our
grandfathers called Biliousness, and all
are caused by troubles that arise from a
diseased condition of the Liver which in
performing its functions finding 1t cannot
dispose of the bile through the ordinary
channel is compelled to pass it off through
the system, causing nervous troubles,
Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc. You who are
suffering can we'll appreciate cure. We
recommend Green's August Flower. Its
cures are marvellous.

Col. Kyd Douglass, of Hagerstown, Md.
one of the most accomplished military
men of the State, inspected the Cover

The company was put through a
thorough manual of arms, after which
the Col. made personal inspection.
The Col. was we'll pleased with the mill !.
tary bearing of the Guards, and compli-
mented them very highly upon their ex.
cellent drilling. He said he had noticed
the Guards when in enCampment last
summer at Hagerstown, and was then
favorably impressed with their excellent
military discipline. and that it afforded him
great pleasure to meet body OF military
men such as the Governors Guards were
composed. He spoke in terms compile
mentary of their Captain, Lewis q Green
whom he regretted very much had been
prevented from being present with them
to -night. He said Captain Green was a
thorough soldiers brave and fearless
officer. one who never faultered In line or
on the battle field, and his inspiring zeal
filed his whole command with the same
spirit that imbued him, as was evidenced
in the military command before him to-
night. The Col was frequently applaud
ed in his address by the Guards who gave
him three rousing cheers.
