mR. WaLDRON,S CASE.

NIX WALDHON'S CASEs
Mr.. Waldron can have the comfort of
knowing that the fair-minded people of
this town are not going to prejudge his
case and find him guilty without indisput-
able proof. They do not approve of the
way in which the attacks upon him have
been made. They are not convinced that
those who have made them are inspired by
a very lofty desire for the good of the pub
lie. They know very well that there has
been an effort to break him down. They
remember that he was not turned out of
Office because he was dishonest, or was
thought to be dishonest, but because he
stood in the way of the Big -Four. They
remember that the first charge against
him was made at q critical period in
the trial of the Big Four, and they clearly
see in the latest charge an attempt to make
political capital. They do not believe in
this kind of work, and they will rejoice to
see Mr.. Waldron cleared. Therefore he
and his friends have every incentive to
make the strongest kind of fight to show
his innocence, If it can bs.shown. He will
not be broken down If he doesn't deserve
to be. There isa free press in New Haven,
and 1t and most of the people of New Hs-
ven want and mean to have exact justice
done in this matter.
Furthermore, it may be remarked that
even If it is clearly shown that Mr.. Wal
dron has done wrong that will not show
that the Big Four have done right. They
didn't fire him out because they thought
he WAS an unworthy public servant, and
they are not attacking him now because
they love New Haven and want to see 1t
properly governed.

of the sturgeon, was placed under the ban
the transportation of the cholera germ.
To test the matter theAustrian minister of
the interior ordered q thorough investiga-
tion to be made at the hygienic laboratory
in Vienna. There noted bacteriologists
infected a quantity of oaviare with
baoilii from Tonquin and from Hamburg,
as many as 153, $3.50 being placed In the
oaviare. At the end of twenty-four hours
there were but hundred left, and at the
end of forty-eight there were none at all.
This experiment was repeated several
times, with about the same result.
Senator Paddock, of the committee on
agriculture and forestry, reports that the
United States government retains some
what less than seventy million acres of
public domain which is designated as tim
Der or woodland, mostly situated on the
slopes and crests of the western mountain
ranges. This property is at present with
out adequate administration, nor is there
In existence any practicable system of man
agement by which the timber on 1t can be
utilized without detriment to the future
condition of the forest growth. In conse-
quence of this the value of the property Is
diminishing annually at rapid rate. The
market value of the timber stolen In each
recent year averages over 5000, 900, and
for 1886 exceeded s9,OO0,OOO. For the
purpose of stopping the waste and thus
preventing the evil consequences of de-
nudation, the senator has introduced a
bill providing for an examination and list
ing of all such public forest lands, and
that they be then set apart as forest reser-
vations, except such of them as are found
to be more valuable for general agriculture
than for forest culture.

Those who have been In the habit of
reading patent medicine advertisements
will be panied to learn that there is
strong probability that they are about to
lose come of their pioturesqueness. 1t may
be that we shall not long have chance to
read that Rollo's instantaneous Relief will
cure everything between, and including,
"that tired feeling" and catslepsy; or that
Bells Medicsted Belt will enable anybody
to get rid of anything, from the stomach
ache to elephantiasis; or that Pelter's Pei
lets will cure any excrescence from a wart
to "the big head" Hitherto 1t has paid
to make some of the patent advertise
ments as much like circus advertise
ments as possible. Those who have
bought the medicines have bought
them on the same principle that they have
bought tickets to the circus. Not because
they believed that they would get all that
was advertised, but because they hoped
they might get their moneys worth. But
1t now appears that If anybody wants to
be csntankerous enough he can hold pat

Use made in an advertisement. The Court
of Appeal in London says SO, and it ought
to know. The Csrbolic Smoke Ball COM
psny was the defendant in the case. The
defendant inserted an advertisement In
the newspapers offering s100 to any
person "who contracts the increasing cpl
demio influenza, colds, or any disease
caused by taking cold, after having used
the ball three times daily for two
weeks according to the printed di-
rections supplied with each bali" The
plaintiff bought ball and carried out the
instructions. Three times day for two
weeks did she use it, but she caught the
inHuenzs, nevertheless, and thereupon sued
the company for $500. The company
fought the case upon various pleas, such
as the absence of regular contract, and 30
forth, but the judge held that published
promise of the kind in the advertisement
was pledge, and decided that it must pay.
An appeal was taken, but the higher court
has now come to the same conclusion as
the lower one, and the Csrboiic Smoke
company will have TO surrender the
money.
This decision will make q decided stir.
A good many patent remedies are reckless
ly advertised. If their proprletors think
they are to be held responsible for their
rash promises they will be more careful
what they say.

A new danger, or, rather, an old one
noticed. Diphtheria is prevalent among
the echool children of Detroit, Michigan,
and the charge is made by DR.. R. s. Far
mum of that city that the disease has been
spread by interchanging lead pencils. The
board of education furnishes pencils for
all the scholars, and the latter are not al
lowed to use any others. The scholars get
one pencil to day and another tomorrow,
all the pencils being dropped into box at
the close of school each day. 1t Is no ex-
aggeration to say that the average child
using lead pencil will put the lead end
into its mouth forty times day, and with
the pencil going from one ohild's mouth to
another from day to day, 1t is easy to see
that the practice might become very dan
gerous, while of course it is unolesn.
