POISON DISEASES.

Memorial to the State Board of
 Health on Grip, Pneumonia, Ty-
 phoid Fever and Kindred Diseases.
 ''The largest monthly mortality on rec ord for Connecticut, owing to the grip"
 Such is declared, by press dispatch, to be the report of the state board of health for December, 1891. Of l, ,729 deaths, 400, or nearly one-quarter of the whole, were from the grip, pneumonia or bronchitis.
 Of these deaths, fully nine out of ten need not have happened if medical science and popular knowledge had understood such exceedingly simple matters as the possible dangerous consequences of taking cold; the precautions which are effective against taking cold; and the means of al- most certainly controlling a cold and pre- venting any dangerous disturbance of the system.
 The danger from cold is, indeed, though @ simple matter, a matter of the new knowledge which very few persons anywhere are familiar with, and which has not yet found recognition in practical medicine. It amounts practically to this, that taking cold causes, if it strikes deep ly anywhere, a self poisoning of the sys- tenn, concentration of which upon the lung is pneumonia; the fever and other re- suits being due to the effort made by the energies of the system to expel the poison. One of the great critical functions of the animal system, notably in the most refined animal, man, is the incessant elimination by the lungs and skin of subtle poison, which is product of the chemistry of the system, and is more or less also, after eI 1 halstion from men and animals, an inhaled poison, mingled with the product of ths system. The normal elimination of thii 1 natural missmatic substance, of markedl, toxic effect, is checked by cold, with thu

AN INTER EsTING SCHEME.

The latest report concerning the pro- gramme of the German Hill Brice combi- nation is interesting. It is said that the idea is to have the house take no positive action on the tariff or silver question, but to merely adopt a set of resolutions declar- ing that the Democratic party is in favor of tariff reform and the repeal of the sil- yer act of 1890. It is substantially the programme which Governor Hill announced in his speeches before going to Washing ton. The party bosses propose to put through set of milk and water resolu- tions covering both silver and the tariff and then drop both subjects. The tariff platform will be broad enough and general enough to hold everybody, protectionists, tariff reformers and free traders. The sil- yer resolutions will be in line with the action of the Democratic majority in the last house, and will be general enough to find no objection to their terms among hard money men and free coinage enthu- siasts. This plan has, it is said, been talked over for some days among the lead CTS and those who are in their confidence. It can only be adopted by majority vote in caucus and such caucus is likely to be called within a week or two
 This is rather shrewd, but it will not are already protesting. What they profess to want is, free raw materials, 8 reduction of duties on great manufactures to the point where foreign competition would be a check to trusts and illegal combinations without hazarding fair protection to American labor, and duties upon luxuries high enough to yield revenue without putting up prohibitory bars, and meaning less resolutions will not suit them.

ONE.CENr POSTAGE.

Senator Cullums bill providing for the reduction of letter postage to one cent is looked upon with favor by many. A signed petition advocating the reduc- ton, and many boards of trade and other commercial organizations declared in favor of the change. Of course one-cent is, has the time come when it ought to be establisheds The postmaster general probably knows as much about that as anybody and he thinks it best to wait awhile. In his last report he said: I have heretofore stated that one-cent postage will be suc- cessfu]ly demanded in time. I believe that time is not far off It certainly ought not to be asked for as long as any deficit appears in the revenues of the postal ser vice; and here I wish to reiterate the fur ther statement that in my judgment it ought not to be asked for then until many improvements and extensions of the ser vice are provided for. It would not be just and fair to servics upon which every effort has been spent for two years to make it self-sustaining, and which promises to become so in the next fiscal year, to heap upon it, the instant the balance sheet be- comes clear, burden of millions, from which it could not recover for many years. Clerks in postoffices ought to be fairly paid; they ought not to be overworked; they ought to have rooms in better build ings; letter carriers ought not to be weighted down like pack horses; railway postal clerks should be paid for the dan gers they face daily. These and other things ought to be done, but they can never be consummated so long as defi- ciency in the postal revenues stares an ap- propristion committee in the face.
 There is reason in this. It the postage on letters is reduced, there will be a much larger sum to be made good from the gen. eral treasury. That is, the government will have to help the people pay their post age. Before reducing the postage it will be well to wait until the postof6ce de- partment is self-sustaining.

merly in use. At recent reviews these
 coats have been observed with care by
 officers at distance, and have been found
 to be imperceptible where the old coats are distinctly visible. Whole companies in
 the First guard and other regiments will receive the gray coats shortly, and should the following observations be as satisfsc- tory as those already made it is expected that the adoption of the gray instead of the red and black will become general in the infantry.
 Simon Wolf, ex-consul-general of the United States at Cairo, tells a story, re- lated to him by Arabi Pacha of a Moslem priest who once asked all those of his congregation who loved God and feared their wives to stand up. Instantly" says the narrator, "the whole gathering rose save one. When the priest observed this, he approached the solitary exception and said: T see that you remain seated. Is it because you do not love GodP 'No,' answered the man, T love God.' Then is it because you do not fear your wifeF On the contrary was the reply, I was unable to rise because my wife gave me such beating this morning that I am almost helpless Now, there,' concluded Arabi, 'was a man in the very position of Egypt to-day, with her back still sore from the stripes laid upon her by the nations which are bidding her rejoice.'"
 
 Professor Jolley, director of the insanity wards in the Charity hospital at Berlin, has issued a pamphlet in which he urges the absolute necessity of special legislation against habitual drunksrds on the gronnd that the statistics of insanity show a di- rect ratio to those of intemperance In the Rhine provinces, the percentage of in sane persons who had lost their reason through excessive drinking was 2S, and in Berlin and Alsacs as much as B. Taking general average for the wine and schnapps drinking districts, Professor Jolley reckons that 25 per cent. among the inmates of asylums have been inebriates. Discussing the sec ton of the new bill which enacts that habitual drunkards shall be shut up until cured, he insists that this authority should be committed to medical men and not to magistrates only. He says that in the asylums for inebriates hitherto exist ing medical direction has been almost en- tirely wanting. Throughout his pamphlet he maintains the proposition that drunk enness should not be regarded as a punish able offense, but as an infrmity. The re- treat for inebriates should, he says, be no prison, but something between hospital and lunatic asylum. It should be gov erned by medical men, and persons should only be consigned to it by doctors certif- cates

The Indian is sometimes good when alive. A conspicuous figure in Stockton, California, is Charles Light, an Indian, who has been elected justice of the peace. A few years ago he was driving a dirt cart for the city, and left this employ ment to do "chores" for Mir. Dallas in return for board, clothing and education. Young Light at the time could not read English, but he rapidly picked it up, en- tered a business college, studied law, and in 1888 was admitted to the bar. As an advocate and 8 political orator he soon made a reputation, and Is now regarded as one of the rising young men of Stock ton. He is thirty-two years old, and a Republican.
 In the German army the idea of clothing the soldiers less brilliantly that they may not be so perceptible as heretofore is already |, taking on practical form.

guns Of the campaign OF 1892 were fred

other prominent republican leaders. The
occasion was the organization of the Ma
t1onal LeaRne OF College Republican Clubs.
Tor which delegates were presant from
thirty colleges from Maine to California.
The convention was called to order about
noon e By President Burke. Of the University
Welcomed the delegates. Mention Of of
15lalne IN the address of welcome
WAS the signal for an ovation.
This afternoon the convention perfected
organization by adopting a constitution
and electing officers. One of the principal
Objects OF the organization OF these college
republican clubs, as stated in the platform,
is to counteraot the impression that college
men arc free traders, and foster the de-
velopment of ths healthy study OF political
economy. A grand banquet was held thia
evening. at which thers were over one
thousand Ruests. Gen. Alger responded to
the sentiment, The Republican Party on
Guard" When Gov. Mckinley arose
he was crested with a round of applause
which lasted five minutes. He opened his
speech with commentator Of the work OF
the young men who had undertaken the or
ganizatlon and outlined the history ana
policy Of the republican party. Mckinley
declared that protection to American in
dustries and American labor against all the

these constitute the armor and arsenal of

brought in a report fairly bristling with
denuncintion of outrages practiced on me-
groes in tho south. It called on the gov
eminent. states, church and all good citi-
zens to rise and abolish these outrages.
The resolution declared the oolored people
are treated shamefnlly on trains, in hotels,
shot down like dogs, and the law Of the
land trampled under foot by people who
despiaed the colored race. The repors
caused a great stir. A number OF dele

The men were employed on the surface,

to the 200 level and some time during the
forenoon, in some manner unknown, both
men fell head foremost into the chute. and
must have been instantly killed. The
accident WAS not discovered until about six
o'clock this evening when a carman on the
200 drew a load of waste from the chute
and one of the dead men came through.
They were at once removed and taken to
the morgue and an examination revealed
the fact that Burns' neck was broken and
6hea's skull crushed. It is said that Burns'
had been subject to fits and the only
plausible theory of the accident ia
that he must have been taken with
TT, and in falling pulled Shea with him
into the chute. Both men were single,
Burns having no relatives here, but young
Shea has a father and mother living here.
None of the bodies of tho remaining five
mon under the cave-in of Saturday have
been recovered yet. and it will be several
days before any of them are reached.

ATLANTA, Ga, May 17.--Every prominent
democratic politician In the state is in the
city tonight and the breach between the
two divisions of tho party in the state il
growing wider and wider. A few far -seeing
politicians are ON tho ground, counselling
moderation and compromise, but their
warnings are unheeded in the mad rush
that IN beinE made by the Cleveland and
ant1-Cleyeland men to control tho conven-
ton. The result OF the primaries held yes
terdhy and to-day was such AZ to give en-
couraQement to the Cleveland men, but the
actiyity OF their opponents more than
eountsrbalanced the result and the Clevs-
land faction tonight is fearful it may he
outgeneralled by the astute politicians of
the other side, Indeed, ii outward mani
leatatlons are to be relied upon the Cleye-
thelr programme and recede from their de-
mand for an Instructed Cleveland delega-
ton. They claim they will elect such
emphatIc Cleveland men that they will not
need Instructions.
hlval meetings tonight were largely
attended. and as about 160 delegates par
slelpated in tho proceedings of each. it
could not be seen teat either had the
aayantaQe from numerical standpoint.
