EVEN the friends of DIR. Townshend will no
doubt share with good citizens generally a
feeling Of relief that the Health Office sauab-
BILE has been settled, and that the District
Commissioners have emerged from the un-
dignifed, not to say ridiculous, position
which the shifting course of Commissioners
Douglass and Robert got the board into.
While it has never been questioned that it
was The right as well as the duty of the Com
missoners TO remove DIR. Townshend if they
were dissatisfied with the way in which he
administered his Office, still he and his friends
have cause for feeling indignant at the manner
IN which it was done, and the singular conduct
OF the Commissioners in the premises will not
readily be forgotten. There was a touch of the
farcical about the whole proceedings which
may make the unthinking laugh, but will
make the judieious grieYe that the highest
officials in our local government should get
into such plight. If party considerations

be source of satisfaction to the Democrats

A GREAT REFORM HALTING,

Woman suffrage has received another setback in the Massachusetts legislature. The question came first before the senate this time, embodied in measure propos- ing to give women the right to vote at municipal elections. The bill was defeat ed by a vote of 25 to 12, which was larger majority against the idea than has been common of late years A review of the votes upon this question in the various forms which it has taken in the legislature during the last quarter of a century shows that the movement has less strength now than twenty years ago. In 1869 bill granting women municipal suffrage re- ceived S4 yeas to Ill nays, while in 1871 a resolution proposing Q constitutional amendment to strike out the word male and give women full suffrage received half the votes in the house of representatives, and was defeated only by the casting vote of the speaker.
 The truth is, women do not want to vote. They have had woman suffrage law in Kansas since 1888 and the Kansas City Times says of it's workings: "It is well-known that the great majority of women who are respectable voluntarily dis franchise themselves. A debased and purchasable element is influenced to regis ter, and portion of these to vote; but with the exception of the few reputable maids and matrons who exercise the right of suffrage from principle, the unworthy classes represent their sex at the polls. What can be done for woman if she doesn't want to vote when she can! The reformers used to tell us that she was los her

CO-ORERATING FARMERS.

Some of the western farmers have ap- parently been afflicted with the idea that legislation could make them rich and hap py. It will probably take long time to get this idea out of their heads, and while they have it they may neglect practical eff forts to better their condition. But some Michigan farmers who cannot wait to be made prosperous by law have organized a cooperative purchasing company with s1O0,OOO capital in shares of ten dollars, no member being allowed to hold over ten shares. The expenses of the com pany are small and thus far the management is very satisfactory. The company makes contracts with dealers for all sorts of farmers supplies at whole sale prices and these are furnished to the farmers at very nearly the same rates, so that forty dollar harrow can be bought for twenty-five dollars, s450 hay press for $27O, twenty-two dollar watch for $9.9O, and so with all sorts of articles wanted by the farmers. The profits on these goods have been absorbed by mid dlemen and travelling agents, but now they find their occupation rapidly dimin- ishing.
 This is better than joining the alliance and being led by ignorant and reckless demagogues.

on so low a scale we must note the bacte- ria as lively rather than alive, as passive, not active, and as moved rather than nov ing. That they are vegetable in matter does not prove that they are vegetables. They may be, for example, protoplasm dust from plants, which have found a way into the system, or they may be from the matter of vegetable food. The only thing to note here is that, whatever their origin, they are made lively by the action of oxy- gen, and are not living things in the pro per sense, much less disease germs acting by being alive and carrying on the manu- fracture of poison. It is by no means i'm probable that any poisoning of the sys- tenn, as that of the blood in yellow fever, or of the lungs in consumption, or any whatever, may lead to formation, out of the protoplasm of the system, of microbes. But want of space precludes even state ment of the questions involved. It is enough to say here that the diseases which are so rashly ascribed to microbes, are one and all poisonous diseases, the causes of which may be shown in a way to clearly prove that the microbes appear incidental ly, and do not in any case cause the dis ease, not even when the foolish experi- menter by putting them into an animal kills it. The poison which is concentrated in them alone does the killing.

The Supreme court of Massachusetts has decided that Conductor Wescott, whose trainsswa in a collision on the Mil ford branch of the New England railroad between Milford and Bellingham junction in 1887, was wrong in obeying the orders of Agent Jenks in charge of that part of the road. The case is interesting from the fact that Westcott stood between two fires, being forbidden by the rules of the road to take out his train, another train having the right of way; and being positively or dered by his superior to take his train out at once. Westcott said that he would not be responsible for results, and took his train out, only to bring up in the expected collision In the opinion of the court, '1f, knowing that the service was dangerous, he undertook
 it under the order of his superior through fear of losing his position if he refused, he
 must be held to have assumed the risk.o

You know the sun generally shines in Italy, and you have read how brightly, how gently, how deliciously it shines. Well, every day thousands of Neapolitans come down to this wall and stretch themselves on it, and lie there in line several miles long from early in the morning until sunset. They scarcely move They breathe gently. They doze. They look at you with un- unspeakable content in their eyes if you pass within easy range of them.

Two saloon-keepers at Barnum, Iowa, hit upon a new scheme for evading the liquor law. They had building con- structed in sections so that it could be taken apart and slowed away. Recently the district court granted an injunction against the saloon, and the other night the proprietors took down their building and stored it away in a warehouse, so that when the sheriff of Webster county comes to serve the injunction he will find no sa- loon.
