Spreading disease in Books.

We have on several occasions dis
cussed the possibility Of conveying i'm
lection by means of books lent out by
circulating libraries. That disease may
be thus conveyed there can be no doubt,
though this affords no real ground of.
objection TO the loan system If ordinsry
precaution is observed. Ills, therefore,
the more satisfactory to note that Ii
brarians on their part are not inclined
to neglect any due care in this particu-
lar. AS an instance, we may now refer
to the method pursued at one public es-
adjustment of this kind where lists of
all the infected houses in the surround
ing streets are received weekly. The
occupants of such houses, If in receipt
of books, are warned not to return them
until effectually disinfected. No doubt
the Act for the Notification of Infectious
Diseases would afford useful assist
ance to all such endeavors on the part
oflibrarians to avoid any possible trans
fer of contagion, and they would do
well to avail themselves of its aid. 1t
should be remembered, however, that it
does not cover every communicable dis
ease, measles being noteworthy ex-
ception. In order to secure still further
the desired immunity, it is advisable
that each borrower be required, under
suitable penalties, to guarantee the
freedom Of his household from infection
at the time being, toreport Immediately
the appearance of infectious diseases,
and to arrange for disinfection of books
on loan to him. We would further sug-
gest that the work of disinfection be
carried out if possible at the library
building itself. Its efficiency could
then be assured. Lancet

The Federal Government has the same
right as State to protect its elections
and to put into It's laws the strength and
force needed TO effect that purpose. In
Calculating this matter the Supreme
Court said with great perspicuity:
The greatest difficulty in coming TO d
just conclusion arises from mistaken
nation with regard to the relations which
subs st between the State and the Nation
al Government, 1t seems to be often
overlooked that National Constitution
has been adopted in this country estab-
fishing real Government therein, oper-
ating upon persons and territory and
things, and which, moreover, is or should
be as dear TO every American citizen as
the State Government is, Whenever
the true conception of the nature of this
government is once conceded no real
difficulty will arise in the Just interpreta-
tion of its powers. But lie we allow our
selves to regard the National Govern
ment as hostile organization, opposed
to the proper sovereignty and dignity OF
the State Governments, we shall continue
to be vexed with difficulties as to juris-
dietion and authority"
Ih1s explains the error Of the Demo-
|
against an alleged aforce bill" for the
protection OF Congressional elections
where the same is needed. 1t can be no
injury to the States" for the National
Government to supervise national cleo
lions and enforce strict rules to prevent
fraud against the ballot The States"
still will be left free to conduct their own
elections for all State, county, and mu-
nic1pal officers as they may see fit, and in
their own way to deal with election
frauds as conscience may prompt.
Not interfering then with State laws
or officers in local matters, the Federal
Government his the undoubted constitu-
tional right to see TO 1t, that in the election
of Congressman who make the nations
laws, there shall beran honest ballot and
fair count in all parts of the Union. If
the Federal Government lacked the pow
er to protect its own elections 1t would
not be Government at all. 1t would
be merely creature Of sufferance.
Where fraud prevails at the polls the
country is not to be ruled by the peopls,
but by successful ballot-box suffers and
election swindlers. The governing pow
or would not be vested in the majority Of
the lawful voters, but in criminal class
OF ballot corrupters. Patriotic senti-
mente would be an absurdity under O
Government which could not adopt any
needed force bills" to protect itself from
election frauds. AS the Supreme Court
has said: "A real National Government
has been established in this country,
and it has inherently, and of necessity,
as much right to protect its elections as
the States have to guard theirs. Chi

WE are very apt to divide human life
into the pleasant and the unpleasant,
the sweet and the bitter, joy and sor-
row, good and evil, and to suppose that
out of the former springs all our happi-
ness and welfare-oNt of the latter all
our misery and failure. In so doing,
however, we entirely ignore the fact
that contrast is necessary and valu-
able element in life and happiness.

sympathy for Criminals.

There is good deal of rot in all this
sympathy for criminals. It is maudlin,
not manly; it has the consistency OF
gush, is not Anglo-Saxon nor muscular,
but wholly disgusting. What we want
in this nineteenth century is q more
general encouragement of honest effort,
and less waste of tears on the human
devils who have cut human throats.
The world is teeming with wrongs that
cry for remedy. Men are daily going
down in the vain struggle of life; wo-
men, filed with @grim and comfortless
despair" are driven by starvation to
sell their honor to pay board bill.
But we turn from these as though they
were not worth notice, and weep for
fear some base murderer may not die
comfortably by electricity, We had
much better say to him: You scoun-
drel, you have lived too long already,
There is so much else In this world to
think OF that we can't spend our time
on you. If we have any pity we will
give it to those who deserve it. AS for
you, we want no more Of you" When
You make crime criminal you will have
less of it. While you coddle roguery
you will have plenty of it. Put the
seal of popular damnation upon muir
der, make. road short to the place Of
execution, put up such bars that none
can escape and the air will clear al
once. It is the CANNON and nonsense
Of fuddled sympathy that fills the
rascal who has smoking pistol ia his
hand with the feeling that he is q hero.
When the hand Of justice is relentless
and the doom of rogues is certain we
shall have orderly society, and not an
hour before.

improvement entertainment eleven
young ladies personated slaves and were
put up at auction. They were draped
in sheets, SO as to be unacceptable,
and brought from forty to ninety-five
cents each. That quotations ran SO low
is explained by the fact that it was in
cumbent upon each purchaser to buy
for his slave all the ice-cream, cake, and
lemonade she demanded, and to escort
her home after the entertainment.

The Supreme Court on National Election
Laws.

Laws.
30 much has been said in Congress
about the alleged illegality or unconsti-
nationality Of the Lodge Rowell election
bill that many persons have been led to
suppose the question doubtful one,
whereas the entire matter has been pass
ed upon by the Federal Supreme Court
and the right of the Federal Government
to supervise and control the election Of
Congressman is established fully, In
1884 In the Marlborough case the court
said:
4Can it be doubted that Congress can
by law protect the act OF voting, the
place where it is done, and the man who
votes from personal violence or intimida-
ton, and the election itself from corrup-
ton and fraud? These questions answer
themselves, and 1t is only because the
Congress of the United States, through
long habit and long years of forbearance.
has, in Difference and respect to the
States, refrained from the exercise Of
these powers that they are now doubted"
Hence there is not the slightest doubt
to the constitutionality of an alleged
force bill" in the election of Congress-
men with sufficient vigor and authority in
it to protect the voter la his rights and to
keep the ballot box from deflement. The
States all have force bills of that char
ncter to govern their elections. In Ilii-

THE EFFECTS OF PROTECTION.
[John P. Jones, of Nevada, In the United State
Senatel

[John P. Jones, of Nevada, in the United States
Senate,l
Mr.. President, so far as tariff has the
effect of reducing prices in any country,
it is not by reason of the levying of any
certain percentage of duty on the import
ed goods. The first effect of the tariff
certainly always must be to raise prices.
The fundamental theory of the tariff is
that by that tariff you place the price OF
manufactured goods up to range at
which they can be produced in the coun-
try in which the tariff is levied, and upon
the level of the range of wages and m n
try. By so doing, if you have proper
volume of money, you set all your people
OF work, and keep them at work at va
riety Of occupations. In such case, every
forge, furnace and factory becomes a
school, every machine shop an academy,
and every cunning device and invention
becomes a lesson, teaching the people
how to deal with the subtle forces Of the
universe. So far as this country is con-
cerned, the theory of the tariff is that
IS, 600, 200 people should have varied
and complete system of manufactures,
which should supply practically all their
own wants instead of an abnormal pro-
portion of them being driven into the sim
gle occupation of farming and relying up
on foreign manufactures to supply such
finished products as they need. To
draw out and develop the sptitudes of a
people a large variety of occupations ia
indispensable, When all men are en-
ployed at their aptitudes new inventions
multiply, progress is accelerated, and the
secrets of nature are more rapidly un-
folded. Hence the Mccormick reaper,
hence the sewing machine, the great
instrument which clothes the world, be-
cause Of the discovery that the eye Of the
needle should be at the point; hence the
air. brake, the telegraph, the electric
light, and thousands Of other inventions
that protected people originate and de-
velop, which would perhaps not have
been originated or might have been long
delayed lie 1t had not been for the dis
couragement Of imports caused by the
tariff, and the encouragement Of our peo-
pie to go into manufactures by which
their varied talents are drawn out and
cultivated.
There is no doubt that eventually. az
our conditions improve, increasing num-
bers of our people will by degrees emerge
from agricultural and enter manufacture
ing Pursuits. tariff, by stimulating
the Organization and development OF in
dustries, trains men to greater skill and
perfection of workmanship In variety
Of departments, and with greater skill
| comes gle tier efficiency Of labor, and Sc
greater economy Of time. In that way
the prices of certain products are In time
| reduced; but that Is not reduction OF
which anyone complains.
