The Prevention of sun.troke.

The following hints for the prevention of sun
stroke are given by Dr. Edwin G. Mann, of New
York city. in en- article upon this subject in one
of the medical journals: ITO avoide sunstroke
exercise in excessively hot weather should be
very moderate; the clothing should be thin and
loose, and an abundance OF cold water should
be drunk. Workmen and soldiers should under
stand that as soon as they cease to perspire
while working or marching in the hot sun they
are in danger of sunstroke, and they should i'm.
mediately drink water freely and copiously to
afford matter for cutaneous Transportation; keep
the skin and clothing wet with water. Impend-
ing sunftroke may often be warded off BY these
simple measures. Besides the ces-
sation OF perspiration, the pupils are
apt to be contracted and there is
q frequency of micturition. II there is
marked exhaustion. with weak pulse, result
ing from the cold water application, we should
administer stimulants The free use of water,
however, both externally and internally by
those exposed to the direct rays of the sun is the
best prophylactic against sunstroke land laborers
and soldiers and others who adopt this measure
ing copiously of water every time they come
within reach OF il. will generally enjoy perfect
immunity from sunstroke. Straw hats should
be worn. ventilated at the top. and the crown of
the ha; filed with green leaves or wet sponge.
1t is better to wear thin flannel shirts in order
not to check perspirstion. We may expose our
selves long time in the hot sun and work or
sleep in heated room, and enjoy perfect i'm
munity from sunstroke If we keep our skin and
clothing wet with water"

A INDUSTRIOUS OUTRAGE.

II all accounts are true. the assault per-
petrated upon Rev. +. B. Sutton at Almira,
near Cheney, on last Thursday, was a
cuse or extenuation. It appears that Mr..
Sutton was beaten and severely injured by
a burly ruffian simply because he persisted
in delivering a temperance lecture in spite
of the warning of q number of saloon keep
ers who had arrogantly forbidden him to
do SO.
Such an outrage as this is a disgrace to
the State OF Washington. 1t savors OF
the bludgeon and shotgun methods of
argument which are no lsnger tolerated in
communities really civilized. The people
of Almlra, the people of Spokane county
and the people OF Washington owe it to
themselves and to their state to see that
the brutal assaiiant is punished SO promptly
and so severely that his fate will be warn
ing to any others who in the future may be
inclined to interfere with freedom of though
and speech in this commonwealth.
That every mau has right to express
his opinions so long as their expression does
HOt CiAahECA TIC pCaNC VI tlAc
wealth, is a truth so generally acknowl-
edged that il seems useless to state it. Oc-
casionally, however, some such event as
the assault on Mr.. Sutton reminds US that
there are still ignorant and brutal men,
who believe that they can successfully meet
argument with force and suppress an idea
with violence. Against all such the COM
munity should array itself with unanimity
and determination. This is land of free
speech. and the man who attempts to in
terfere with the exercise of free speech
casts himself directly in the pa thway OF
our civilization. He invites pri son and the
gallows. He places himself in sue h posi-
ton that he must be crushed if social order
is to continue.
The assailant of Mr.. Sutton must be
punished for his brutal crime. Until he Is
punished, and punished to the full extent
of the law, the people of Washington will
have left great duty unperformed. Until
he is punished they cannot complain if
their state is reproached as the seat of a
frontier civilization not far removed from
barbarism

of fifteen, twenty. thirty and in q few cases
a. low as forty-three degrees below zero, OF
many people and domestic animals frozen
to death, and of widespread suffering.
These extreme variations from killing cold
to murderous heat are neither exceptional
nor extraordinary. The winters and sum-
mers in which they do not occur are the
exceptions. II is rarely the case that
summer passes in those regions without
more or Iess-ordinarily great many
deaths from sunstroke, or winter without
many people and domestic animals being
frozen to death.
Here in the Puget sound country. on the
other hand. excess of heat in summer or OF
cold in winter is little less than phenome-
nal. In no case would the death of
healthy person or of an animal by SUM-
stroke or freezing be possible. Rarely does
the thermometer in winter show lower
register than thirty degrees above zero. nor
in summer higher than seventy degrees
in the shade. Not more than twenty days
in either season will show either of these
extremes. Three successive days with
record ten degrees below or above these
extremes would be considered mar Vicious.
There are not dozen days in an average
winter in which healthy person could
not, without discomfort, remain in the
open air ali day without an overcoat, or in
the summer without linen buster. Both
extra heavy and extremely light clothing
could be excluded from our supplies with
ont serious inconvenience to our people.
These being the facts, palpable and unde-
niable, it is the mystery of mysteries why
anybody remains in those alternately bis
tering and freezing regions who has the
means wherewith to come to this Puget
Sound country. If it were difference OF
climate alone, with other advantages lack
ing here and existing there. perhaps there
might be some reason in it. But there is
not one point from which came those re-
ports of freezing to death last winter, and
from which are coming reports of death
sweltering this summer, that can truthfully
claim any advantage over this section in re-
spect to soil or diversified natural resouf-
ces.
These are facts; plain. hard, indisputable
facts. They must become known. When
known they cannot but have effect. But it
is no less transparent fact that the area
of this favored region is limited. 1t cannot
accommodate all who suffer those eastern
inclemencies. It will present another case
of all being called and but a few chosen.
In the nature of things, as rule, those
who have been most successful there will
be the first to come. To a great extent,
until the population has become as dense
as is reasonable and desirable, Western
Washington will attract and absorb the
pick and choice OF eastern enterprise and
intelligence. This is certain and newt
able. 1t is the height of folly to talk or
think about booming" this section. To
enjoy the advantages which this section
offers is a privilege, and to doubt that it
viii be recognized as such is an unwar-
ranted disparagement of Eastern shrewd
ness. 1t is only question of time. Moth

Indian Cemeteries at Spokane Falls.
SpOkana Falls Review

workmen engaged in digging deep ditch be-
tween the Auditorium and the ri YER yesterday
came across the bones of an Indian. The body
had been buried In the gravel at q depth of
three or four feet. and was evidently that OF an
Indian child or woman. Mr.. J. ] Browne, who
was on the ground at the time, said that an In
dian burial place could be found upon nearly
every bold promontory above the river in this
vicinity. On some of these points there are at
least 6rty graves. From time immemorial the
Indians OF this country gathered here to fish for
salmon, which gathered below the falls In
grea numbers. They chose as their cemeteries
high points leading down TO the river and
usually marked the graves with rude Enclosures
or monuments Of logs. The skeleton found yes
terday was probably buried since the advent OF
the Hudson Bay Company into this cougtry. 1t
seems improbable that the Indians would have
dug so deep into the hard gravelly soil had they
not been in possession of hard iron implements
such as they would have obtained from the
Hudson Bay Company

THE MYSTERY OF MYSTERIES.

The weather record in the Atlantic states
for last Saturday is but repetition OF the
reports that have been received since the
20th of June. In Chicago on Saturday
there were "25 prostrations" and half a
q dozen fatal cases of sunstroke." In Gin
cinnah, up To p. M, go cases of sun
stroke. fatal" In Milwaukee, 100 cases
Of prostraiion, ? fatal" In Louisville. "13

There is no reason 20 suppose that these
are exaggerated reports. The indications
no less than the probabilities are the other
way. A majority of those reports come
from cities that are not at all in the habit
OF magniEying their woes or Affections.

The Smuggling Industry.
Port Townsend Leader.

While in Victoria Collector Wood learned that
the owners of the seized North Star had pur.
chased another sloop, presumably for the pur.

is no doubt but that the money for the purpose
was borrowed by Captain Keffel OF the capital-

THE WISDOM OF 1T.

The wisdom of Mr.. Blaine's proposition
to hold the whip hand on some of the
countries with which we hold commercial
relations, and the consequent wisdom OF
the Senate amendments to the sugar sched-
ule of the tariff bill, is made conclusive by
a reference to our sugar purchases from
Cuba and the attendant facts. In 1887 we
imported from Cuba 1884, 716.0o0 pounds
of sugar. valued at $S5, 500, 600. This was
within small fraction OF the total sugar
product of that island. The home con-
sumption is aoout 10 per cent. of the total;
about 10 per cent. more is sent to other
countries, and the remaining so per cent
comes to the United States.
In return for this liberal patronage of
her sugar interests, to say nothing of to-
bacco and other products, Spain practical
ly closes the ports OF Cuba against our food
products by prohibitory tariff. This
glaring injustice would be greatly magni-
fed by the original design of admitting her
sugar free. But under the proposed sys-
tenn of Mr. Blaine, measurably met by the
Senate amendment, the United States
would be in a position to demand of Spain
a modification of her tariff laws, so as to
admit onr breadstuffs to the Cuban market,
or risk the loss of our enormous purchases
of Cuban sugars, which it is not possible to
dispose of In any other quarter.
The mere statement of the facts is an
unanswerable argument of the whole case
and conclusively establishes the wisdom OF
the Secretary's suggestion. Congress
should not hesitate about a final adjust
ment of the sugar schedule on these lines
nor is there room for reasonable doubt that
such will be the conclusion.
