ONE Of the extraordinary features Of the
present epidemic of influenza is the large
number of persons who, after few days
in the house, reappear with the report that
they have had pneumonia. As this word
describes distinct pathological condition
that can be exactly recognized by physical
signs, and as patient with awell-develop-
ed case Of pneumonia is generally lucky if
he can be considered convalescent In fort
night, these rapid recoveries have been
rather surprising. A very in
terestlng clinical lecture upon the
influenza, delivered by DIR. Da Costa at the
Pennsylvania Hospital and reported IN the
Medical News, throws some light upon this
subject. He speaks of the main compli-
cation of the catarrhal fever as what is
called pneumonia. There have been, no
doubt, an unusual number of cases and
fatal cases, of actual inflammation of the
lungs during this epidemic, but a great
many of the cases to which the term is APP
piled, as DIR. Da Costa points out, ''are
simply heavily congested lungs, with great
debility, the lungs seeming to collapse,
but without any true process of pneumonia
emulation. There is want of expansion In
the lower part of the lung, especially on
the left side, associated with violent and
persistent pain, (which makes the patient
think he has pneumonia or some other
grave condition of the lungs" but the
physician does not detect the sounds in
dicative of pneumonia, and as the attack
subsidies and the patient RECEIVERS strength
these symptoms subside and what is cal
led pneumonia disappears. This explain
why so many persons think they have
pneumonia and yet recover with rapidity
that would be impossible if they had. II
is not inconceivable that there are practi
TONERS who encourage this belief and Sc
gain credit for mi aculous cures. When {
man has been i'll it always gratifes him tt
believe that he has been very i'll and has
made a narrow escape, and fortunes have
been made by adroitly cultivating thii
innocent weakness of average humanity
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1890-01-30

The persistency with which the vilest
criminals assert their innocence is, and
ever has been, a subject of wonder.
Speaking of the murderers of DR. Cronin,
the Chicago Inter-Ocean says: ''It is one
of the curiosities of crime that in nine
cases out of ten a convict will protest his
direct, and unmistakable evidence of guilt
makes no difference in the aversion of in
nocence and the murderer taken red
handed, will proclaim himself guiltless
even when the rope is Tightening about
his neck. There is something remarkable
about this. While there is remaining a
faint glimmering hope of escape from the
consequences of crime the plea is rea-
sonable and the thing to be expected. But
it is difficult to understand what process
of logic prompts a convict whose guilt is
irrevocably determined, and whose pun
ishment is melted out to him to insist,
and that, too, with vhemence, that he
is innocent of the wrong charged
to his account. Of the four men
sentenced in the Criminal Court
Monday, each interposed as a reason why
Judgment should not be pronounced
against him his guiltlessness of the
crime for which he had been convicted.
In the cases of these men the protesta-
ton was to be expected, since they yet
hope to obtain new trial, trusting against
reason that the Supreme Court will inter-
fere in their behalf. But they were not
content to take legal stand and urge
that sentence be not passed upon them
because their trial was not a fair one,
or because they had been convicted
under insufficient evidence. they rung the
changes upon the old tune of innocence.
Hidden away somewhere in this idiosyn-
Grassy of criminals there is moral prin-
ciple it were worth while to determine
There is an indication of something
within the nature of man that makes him
more ashamed of being confessed to his
fellows as a criminal than of confronting
heaven as perjurer. Being choked to
death on the scaffold is ignominious, and
is the best possible prima facie evidence
of guilt; yet the man about to be executed,
about to pay the highest penelty of wrong
doing about to be hurried away from
the Judgment of man, seems to imagine
his case will be bettered in some way by
his denial of guilt Men will serve life
sentences in the penitentiary and die in
their cells maintaining to the last the
claim of innocence they first asserted
against an overwhelming array of con-
demnatory evidence These are curious
and inexplcable facts of human nature
but they do not deceive the world. If the
expectation of the convict is that he can
create doubt to leave behind him, so that
something of the martyr may save his
name from utter infamy, he clutches a
frail straw indeed Where all criminals are
equally ''guiltless' the world is not much
concerned with the yirtuous protests of
those who are clapped behind bars or
strung up on the gibbet. The experience
of ages has demonstrated the general truth
that men who are imprisoned or hanged
get their jest deserts The world will be-
heve that the three murderers sent to Joliet
got off very easily indeed, that their proper
punishment was at the gallows end.

CANNOT CLEAR THE TRACKS.
Futile Attempts to Move the Imprisoned
Trains at TrucBee.

SAN FRANcIsco.-Each day for
the last eight days during which the
blockade on the Centeral Pacific and Cali
fornia & Oregon line has continued,
the Southern Pacific officials have felt
hopeful that the following day would see
the blockade raised. Fresh storms have
come, however, and the tracks have been
In snow almost as soon as cleared. No at
tempt will be made to move two west
bound trains at Truckee, nor four at Reno,
as the comfort of the passengers can be
looked for far better at these
places than at any other point In the
mountains. The blockade at Cascade
would prevent the passage of trains at
this point even if it was desired to move
them 1t will be impossible to do much
work ON the blockade between Cascade
and Summit for some little time, but as
soon as practicable the rotary pillow will be
set In motion there On the Oregon line
the work is progressing as rapidly :
possible.

The Gold and SiIxar Eros

| The report of the Director of the Mint
for 1889 contains an interesting table
showing the production of the precious
metals II the United States from the es
| Establishments Of the Mint In 1892 until the
| close of the fiscal year of 1882 The value
| OF the product is given in dollars, and
shows gold product for the period includ-
ed OF 81 SOC, 061. 769 and silver product of
| SS62, 642, 900, the total gold and silver pro-
| duct being s., Cos, 706. 769. OF this there
renamed IN the country July |. 1889
81, 100, 612. 434, the balance being exported
or used in the arts
| The golden era began with Suffers dis
eovery of gold In his California mill-raee
IL lS4S, the total production of gold up to
that time having been but S24, $50, 769. or
less than half million a year. In that
year the production jumped to $4,000. 900
and IN the following year to 100000. 900.
or SIS, 500, 900 more than the total product
| OF the entire ffty-six years following the
establishment of the Mint. The increase
| In the gold output was steady from this
time until 1858, when high-water mark
was reached with a product of s65, 0O0. 900.
From this period there has been gradual
decline, the gold product of the last ten
years varying between S90,000.000 and
3S,OO0,OO0, about one-third of which was
| produced In California
| The silver product is placed at $50. 600
or less per year until 1858, when it reached
S5OO,OOO. In 1861 it reached $1,000 900.
since which time it has been steadily in
creaslng quantity, the product for 1888
reaching $50, 1875 900, or within about
100000 of the highest production of
gold in 1858. 1t is notable that the de-
cline in the gold product has been more
than made up by the increase in silver, the
total product CT the two metals reaching
S92, 500, 900 in 1888, total that has never
been exceeded except In 1878, when it
reached S96,000,000.
The Director of the Mint estimates the
amount of the two metals used in the arts
In this country at about S24, 100000. of
which SIC, 100000 is gold and $4,000, 900
silver, leaving on the basis of the produc-
ton of 1888, $3.50 for coinage and ex-
port. Of the gold-producing States in
| 1888 California stood first, with a produc-
ton of So, $50, 900; Montana second, with
| 81, 200 900; Colorado third, with So. 75S,-
| 000 Nevada fourth, with S3,525, 900; Da-
kota fifth, with S2,600,000; Idaho sixth,
with 81, 400, 900, while Oregon and Alaska
come next. with production of $3.50,
and 1926, 600, respectively. In silver Col
orado leads, its product for 1888 having
coinage value of S19,000,000. Montana
came second, with S17,000,000, and Utah
stood next in order, with $1,000, 900.
Arizona and Idaho produced 100000
each, and California and New Mexico
81 100000 and 81, 100000, respectively.
1t is worth noting that the United States
furnish about one-third of the gold pro-
duct of the world at present, and three
seventies of the silver.
