The Free Press quotes from Harp
er's Weekly some novel literature about
Col. A. +. Walker. The personal re-
ferred to speaks of his graduation in
1861 at Middlebury and of the sensa-
ton produced by his appearance on the
stage in uniform. We were present at
the graduation of Mr.. Walker which
occurred in 1862, not in 1861, and we
failed to discover anything remarkable
in connection with his graduation. He
appeared in uniform, having just en-
listed, and so did one or two others, one
of whom, at least, Lieut.. Converse, fell
at Petersburgh. Other members of the
same class afterwards enlisted, among
them Col. Eaton who fell before Rich
mond, and Col. Knapp, now Governor
Knapp Of Alaska. MIR. Walker was
the valedictorian of his class, and this
fact centered some attention in him
Mr.. Walker does not need any false
coloring to set him out, the plain truth
answers the purpose well enough.

The sugar trust is slowly dissolving,
and the public win rejoice TO see the
end Sugar has dropped another notch
and Spreekels proposes to knock il low
er by erecting large refnerics which
will enable him to put 5000, 900 lbs.
on the market daily, three quarters as
much as was put on by the sugar COM
bination. Potatoes have also taken a
drop of 10 or II cents per bushel. As
soon as it was discovered that the crop
was abundant through the country the
prices could not be maintained in the
sections where the crop happened to be
short. Those who took advantage Of
the scare did much better than those
who held their stock for bigger scare.
Several carloads of Western potatoes
have already been shipped into the
State as well as to the New York and
Boston markets. Present indications
are that they win not 90 much above
40 or 45 cents per bushel.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Our Pan-American visitors are hav-
ing good time, and, why should they
not? They never took such a trip be-
fore or saw such a country. They may
have some grand things in their own
country but our institutions, manufac-
tories and system of self-government,
and even great wealth have no equal in
the countries with which they are most
familiar.

the intention of coming up with Emin once
more, and of effecting an exit on the east
coast of the continent, along the Zanzibar
shore probably. How and when Stanley
met Emin, just what finally moved the lat
ter to come out of his province, whether
the hopelessness of his task or the desire
to organize new efforts to crush the slay-
ers, we shall not definitely know until the
two famous explorers reach the coast.
In the meantime the old routes of the
slavers through the Soudan, on the north,
will be reopened, and Emin's faithful fol-
lowers will again be subject to the cruel
rule of savage chiefs, the eastern route for
the slave caravans will again become thick
with the dust beaten up by the feet of the
wretched beings torn from their villages to
be sold into slavery, and before either
Stanley, Emin or Cardinal Lavigerie can
again organize forces to enter the continent
tens of thousands of human beings will
have been butchered, and tens of hundreds
of men and women have been dragged
in letters to the slave marts of Turkey
and the States of the mightier African
rulers. The Cardinals plan, as we have
said, is the sensible one-that of regular
military invasion with a strong force, that
will be able to establish and defend line
ofstations as it progresses; approaching the
native tribes with the sword in one hand
and the olive branch in the other; their
enlightenment upon the purposes of the
invasion, so that they will see it is
the intention to aid them to resist and de-
feat the slavers who fall upon them annu-
ally with torch and bludgeon and chains,
and carry off their strongest men and
| likeliest women and children. These
! tribes, he holds, can be made allies, armed
and taught how to withstand their assail-
ants, and thus in two or three years, at the
outside, he would have central Africa
equipped under intelligent supervision
against the slavers, with the result that they
would be finally driven out. The spirit of
liberty, says the Cardinal, is found in every
human breast, and needs only to be quick
ened to make itself manifest. This, he
thinks, is possible with the African tribes.
When Emin and Stanley return they will
be able to confirm him in this faith or dis
abuse his mind of it. At all events, if the
new expedition fits out for central Africa
one OF two men should be its chief
guide and adviser-either Stanley or Emin
Pasha, and we should say the former, since
he has travelled over more territory of the
continent and has wider acquaintance with
the tribes, and has proved himself much
the better explorer and student of human
nature.

A NEW DANGER.

The warning of the State Board of
Health that consumption can be spread by
contagion is not new, but it is none theless
well put and timely. Medical science
settled upon the contagious character of
consumption some time ago. Especially
positive have the medical scientists been
that the expectoration of the consumptiye
is potent agency for the spread of the
disease. The theory is that the germ of
consumption is present in the atmosphere
exhaled by the patient, and in the waste
cast from his lungs, and therefore the suf-
ferer ought to be seguestered, isolated from
close association with the unaffected. 1t is
even held, and strong proofs of the sound
ness of the doctrine are advanced, that the
sputa of the consumptiye retains the active
germ of the disease even after being dried,
and that the air breathed by the con-
sumptive is laden with the germ of the
disease for very considerable time after
his departure from an apartment. These
things being true, it follows that the pa
tient should not be permitted to expose the
well to the danger of the contagion by
associating with them. Yet no disease is
known that is so difficult to quarantine.
The consumptive excites tenderer SYM
patty than almost any other afflicted per-
son. He or she is cared for more assidu-
ously and tenderly in the home, and on
patient will be more carefully guarded
from removal to sequestered locality.
The very nature of the disease quickens
the sympathies and reines the affections
for the afflicted ones. 1t will be, there
fore, the most difficult task that med
ical science has latterly undertaken to
bring society up to that point of duty
where the demand for the isolation of the
consumptive patient will be granted The
attention which the State Board of Health
seeks to awaken concerns the protection of
the mildness of the California climate
may induce such an influx of consumptives
that the disease will become characteristic
of the State, and by reason of the con-
tagion will spread alarmingly among our
people. This is a matter, therefore, for
the serious Government of the people of
California. If medical science is correct
III its conclusions, the spread of consump-
ton should he guarded against as we resist
assaults of smallpox, the spread of scarlet
fever and the dissemination of diphtherla

THE unseemly haste of the British del
egates in the Marine Conference is almost
unaccountable. According to the latest
reports the manner in which they have
Flushed" business through has brought out
a protest from the French delegates, which
the American delegation has seconded.
The Frenchmen said it was shameful to
consider and dispose in a few hours of the
question of signals at sea-for instance
in storm and in the night, when the sailor
has to peril his life for days and weeks in
navigating his ship. The delegates ex-
pressed their surprise that such matters
should be rushed through, and demanded
a reconsideration Of the whole subject OF
sThe Rules of the Road" and the Confer
ence so ordered. Then it leaked out that
the British delegates had taken berths
for steamers to sail December 18th. by
which time it will be impossible for the
Conference to conclude Its important de-
alterations. Unless they are concluded,
with deliberation and great care in
establishing regulations, the whole pur-
pose of the Congress will be defeated, and
all the cost and energy devoted to it will
go for naught. There can be conceived nc
reason for the haste of the Englishmen,
except their desire to get home to Christ
mas roast beef and plum-pudding. The
Englishman has Christmas good cheer and
jollity ingrained in his very being, and
rather than suffer deprivation of them he
might permit even national business tc
suffer. Certainly no political or financial
reasons can be thought of that should
make it necessary for the British delegates
to retire in the very midst of the delibera-
tions of the Conference, and which is one
by the way, of the utmost Importance tc
civilization.
