WHERE THE DANGER LIES.

The Mysterious and sudden Ending OF
SO Many Lives Fuliy Accounted For.
The real danger from Grippe" is in its
after effects. Nine-tenths of all deaths re-
sultug are from pneumonia. What is pneu-
monia? II is sudden stoppage and lllling-up
of the lungs. Thick, heavy, poisonous
mucous gets into the air-cels and prevents
breathing. They clog up quickly and death
ensues. The only salvation is to keep the
lungs working and thus throw of this ter
rible mucous. There is only one way in
which this can he done, and that is by
stimulating them. Under the influence Oft
proper amount of pure whisky the lungs
draw in deep, full breaths and throw out
the poisonous air each time il is exhaled.
But while this is true, and whisky has
saved more lives than any other known
remedy, If it is not pre- whisky it is liable
TO have bad effect. If it contains fusel
oil, a headache or a foul tongue will be the
result. On the other hand, when an abso-
lutely pure whisky like Dufry's Pure Malt
Whisky is used, no ill-eifects can by any
possibility follow. Professor Henry A.
Mott says: "The purity of Duffy's Pure
Malt Whisky las simple, analytical tests
will readily convincc) is absolute, and
should recommend it to the highest public
favor" TO all, We uuhestatingly say, insist
upon having Dufy's and do not be per-
suadcd to take any other.

THE REpTBLJCIV PRESS.

4 timely note Of warning was sounded by
Assistant Postmaster General Clarkson al the
Republican banquet in Pitisburg on saturday
night. He described political contests II com
ing more and more 10 be fought in the arena
Of discussion and in the newspaper press, and
then commented upon the activity displayed
by the Democratic party III strengthening lis
lines in the newspaper or the magazine. "The
reinforced Democratic press" he declared, is
a startling thing for the Republican party to
face. and it must face it with courage and
wisdom. Such a propaganda has never been
known in America as that OF the Democrats
in their, hunt in secret aud through changing
prcss. in behalf Of Free Trade in the West
to-day: and submit to you as Republicans
that it is time for our party to take notice of
what the opposition party is doing by increas-
ing and strengthening It's press This ad-
montion comes from an experienced leader OF
the party and deserves to be seriously conSd-
cred and needed.
II cannot be denied that the Democratic
press is stronger in the great cities of the East
than it was in former years nor is there rea
son to doubt that many of the farmers week.
" papcrs in the West have been brought under
L
crs opened the campaign Of 1892 the day after
their defeat in 1883, and they have multiplied
already their agencies for producing and dis
trilmting Frce-Tradc literature. Their activ-
ity bctokens a determined effort to undermine
public faith in the protective system, and to
restore their party to power with direct com
mission from the people to break down the
tariff. We have no fear OF the result If the
next canvass is to be fought out in the open
field of discussion. The Republican party al
ways triumphs when it is boldly challenged
TO defend its great principles in what is known
as an educational or an intellectual campaign.
Discussion is a tonic which invigorates the
party. and strengthens it for the achievement
of new conqucsts over the Frec-Tradc Dcmoc-
racy. II is, however, "A tonic to be taken in
good time and not used at the last moment
rs a stimuant in the excitement OF a bclatcd
Presidential canvass. The Republican press
needs to be actively employed at once in
countcractng the Systematic Frcc-Trade propa-
ganda of the Democratic press.
Mr.. Carkson makes "A practical suggestion
when he invites Republicans to give the prefer
cncc to journals of their own party. Let them
take Republican papers themselves, and be
strengthened in their own political faith, and
then let them exert themselves to extend the
circulation of the party press by every means
within their power and especially among young
voters whose ideas respecting the great con
troyersy on Free Trade and Protection are now
forming An investment one-tenth or one
twentieth as great as will be made by the party
politicians in the campaign funds of 1892, if

VIZ 1T <OUEDrCT JOB NOT DEAD.

THAT AQUEDCCI oOD No1 DHHD'
The suspicion that the promoters OF the
Aoueduct Claims bill have been carrying on
their corrupt work under the cover OF silence
and pretended Encouragement is confirmed by
our Albany correspondence. That lmpudcnt
lob is not dead, but, on the contrary, Is liabie
to show convincing proofs OF vigorous HE AT
any moment 1t is of prime Importance that
the press of the whole State should resume and
continue until the adjournment of the Legls-
lature its energetic assaults upon plot 10 ROB
this CITY of millions of dollars. The success
of the scheme would be conclusive proof that
members of the Assembly had been bought
There is not shadow of justice to sustain 1t.
Every shallow pretence that the contractors
are merely seeking prompt and impartial ad-
indication of claims honestly made has been
refuted. The thing that they are endeavorng
TO obtain is a tribunal of their own creation
and under their control, and the argument that
they are using is money The items OF ac-
count which concern them are not the minor
disbursements about which there may he an
honest difference of opinion, but the huge sums
which they were forced to eXpend in making
GOOD the contracts which they had violated
81 oolm and calculating yillanv. The
swindles in which they were finally detected
were deliberately planned, and by an elaborate
system of spies, Signals and DISCUSSES were re-
morselessly carried out. Their highest ambi-
ton was to conceal a cheap and miserable sham
so skilfully that the city would accept and pay
for it as an honest performance.
These are not the assertions of irresponsible
witnesses. but the explicit and deliberate state
ments of the officials who uncovered inc I'M
posturc and have thus far succeeded IN DEFEND
inc the city treasury. Baiiicd by the 'ohl-
missioncrs and afraid of the established courts
these contractors now have the astounding
effrontery to ask the Legislature to create

signed to steal in secret And they expect 10

ucC4NN AND THE MA YOR.

Mr. Croker sends by cable from Wiesbaden

clarinc them false and malicious. Mayor
Grant. who on Sunday was calm though en-
nbatic seemed Yesterday to feel that mere
dscla;mer however vigorous was not enough
I'm This noint we are i'll perfect agreement
with the Navor. He has been accused under
oath. by man so placed as not readily TO be
deceived of odious crimes. McCann mas either
told the truth or else knowingly and deliberate
IL lied A lie told under oath is perjury, and
the Msvor is reported as saying yesterday that
he should call the attention of the Grand jury

uuritv nc we'll as TO himself. that he should
do So There is not decent citizen OF New
Yorl, who would not rejoice 10 see him con-
fronting his accuser with conclusive proofs OF
innocence.
There are parts of McCann's testimony APP
narontlv improbable but the community cannot
forget that the whole story was sworn to by a
man of substance and experience, nor that
Tammany has waXed fat and powerful by au-
dacious corruption. The Mayor and those I'M
pljcatcd with him in these charges are APP
narcntly not frightened in the least degree.
hut il must be acknowledged that McCann
likewise is seemingly undsturbed and conf
dent. The Investigating Committee offers the
Mavor an early opportunity to refute these
monstrous allegations. and we hope he will
embrace it. But he ought not 10 rest content
with that No victim Of malignant defama-
tion. and least of all the Chief Magistrate of a
great city, ought to permit his assaiant to
escape with the slight penalty OF public con-
tempt. In fact, the Mayor himself will suffer
that very pun.hment in some measure unless
he tries to infict a sevcrer one upon McCann.

HIGH LICENSE IN THE ASSEMBLY.

UrcU LICENSE IN THE ASSEMBLY.
Of the 12s members of the present Assem-
bIv 70 were elected by Republican votes. The
men that placed them in nomination in the
conventions and those who supported them at
tbe pols did so, of course, on The distinct
understanding that as legislators they would be
true to Republican principles as those prin-
cinles are enunciated in the platforms of the
marty. Now the Republicans of New-York
are united and emphatic in their demand for
the passage of a IIigh-License law. Each one
of their recent State Conventions has placed
= plank in it's platform unequivocally favoring
bicb license. The latest of these bodies, the
State Convention of 1890, made this declara-
ton
The repeated efforts by Republican Legislatures to Sc
cure balot-reform and thoroughly practicable temper
ance legislation are proofs of the right purpose and good
faith of the Republican party. No step backward VIII
he taken and pledge our determination to persevere
until sautary and adequate provisions Of law on these
vital subjects are embodied in the statutes OF the State
This is direct and unmistakabe The Re
nubIican party of New York is High License
party.
In view of these considerations it would be
the gravest sort of a blunder for the Assembly
70 defeat the Hendricks High License bill. 1t
is a wise and moderate measure, and the only
one on the subject which is before the Lcgis-
lature If it fails then the Republican ma
iority of 1890 ill be branded as betrayer Of
high license and of the party whose commission
il bears. The saloons, under the leadership OF
David B. Hill, waged fierce warfare against
the bill while it was yet in the Excise Com
mittee, but in spite of them it was reported
and is now before the Assembly. 1t ought to
be passed without delay. We call upon every
Republican of that body who desires TO con-
serve the best interests of the party and to re-
spond to public sentiment 10 give it his vote
and his influence. If it should fail, every
Democratic leader from Buffalo to Brooklyn
would throw up his hat feeling that the Re-
publicans had opened the way for Democratic
victory next fall. Democrats talk of capturing
the Assembly next fall by a majority so big
As to enable them to 'elcct their candidate for
the United States Senate next winter. At
present such anticipations lack foundation. But
would they if the Assembly throttlcd high
license? Let every Republican in the Assem-
bly ask himself that question.

ETC LII HOrRS II EEROPI.

The struggles of labor in Europe differ so
widely in essential respects from its cndcayofs
in this country, and have mingled with them
co much of antagonism TO existing govern
mcnts that confusion of mind will result II the
two are treated as parallel or similar move
ments Here The laborcr is also a sovereign ;
in most countries of Europe he is not. Social
ism undcrlies most Of the wOrkingmen demon
STATIONS abroad, because, whether so intended
or not they are apt to fall under the influence II
not the open and complete direction OF those
who are laborng to undermine the Govern
mont and existing institutions. Hence the at
titnde of every strong Government toward such
demonstrations is in measure shaped by the
belief that. if they could. Socialists and An
arcbists would turn any strike into rcyolu-
ton.
There are causes Of difference which reach
still doener. Labor in the Old World is poorly
paid, and is profoundly aware OF the fact
Here il is paid two or three times as much in
wages and what wages will buy lives better
and has far more comforts. In struggling for
change in foreign countries, labor has far
more obvious reasons for the claim that IT does
not vet receive a fair or just reward, and every
step which looks toward the improvement OF ITS
condition commcnds itself more powerfully TO
the common intelligence and humanity. More
over, in Europe there arc great mutitudcs who
seek steady work in vain. The claim that
room can be made for this army Of the uncm
Moved if those who have work will refuse TO
labor more than eight hours day has trc-
mendOus power where there are multltudes III
every considerable community who are sup
ported either by the State or by their friends.
But in this country there is no such great army
of men seeking work in vain, nor ia there
reason to suppose that at any one time as much
as fiftieth part of the working population has
been idle perforce curailmcnt of fifth or
even tenth in the hours of labor here would
necessarily involve smaller production, whereas
in many parts of Europe the claim is made, with
not little appearance OF reason that such a
curtailment in the hours of work would open
places for many now unemployed.
Behind this is the further fact that the en-
forced contributions of industry TO the State
are relatively heavy in European countries, but
here are so light that they are scarcely felt.
Mr. Atkinson calculated that the proportion Of
taxation to the National product was II
per cent in the United States, nearly per
cent in Great Britain and Ireland, - per cent
in Germany and Is per cent in France. If the
annual product is to be reduced by change in
the hours of daily work, these burdens borne
by labor abroad must come ont of smaller
aggregate production, and thus may become in
tolerable. Either the burdens imposed by the
State must be lesscned or the curtailment of
hours of labor must have prostrating or al
most revolutionary effect upon industry. Be-
yond doubt the more thoughtful leaders of the
working force perceive this and so they openly

agitate for reduction of standing armies and
similar changes in connection with the demand
for reduced hours of labor. But these facts
are seen as well by the abest rulers, who not
unnaturally feel that the very existence of their
dvnasties and of present institutions must de-
mend upon repressing every tendency to cut
down the hours of labor since this must IN
volve reduction in the aggregate product
and consequently in the burdens which in
dustrv can bear. Thus it comes to pass that
tbo cipht-bour struggle in Europe means what
i docs not in this country, since in Europe it is
almost everywhere and inevitably connected
with revolutionary tendency.
