SOME DEFECTS OF TUE BALLOT
LAW

Reports from different sections of the
State show that a large degree of dis
satisfaction prevails in relation to the
new ballot law, and this feeling is not
confined to any one party. Numerous
defects in the system have already been
announced and the list will undoubtedly
be largely extended before the discussion
of the matter closes. The returns of the
vote in the State show that in counties
where two or more senators were voted
for the second name on the ticket invari-
ably received smaller vote than the
first, and the third name a smaller vote
than the second. This is equally true of
the assistant judges in all the counties.
For instance. In Chittenden County on
the vote for senators Mr.. Brownell,
whose name was second on the ticket,
received 1874 less votes than Mr.. Foster,
whose name was first on the ticket, and
Mr.. Gleason 2S5 less than Mr.. Foster.
There was a still larger falling off on the
last two names on the Democratic ticket
for senator, as compared with the first
that of Mr.. Holton. Now if the Republi-
can majority in Chittenden County had
been only 2S0 instead of about 900 it is
plain to be seen that Mr.. Gleason would
have been defeated and Mr.. HOlton, who
was AlloI Oh OllC 1CClhOSloOAS OANhNO1 SiSSb
ed, and wholly through the complicated
system of voting and the ignorance and
carelessness of the voters.
So far as secrecy is concerned the new
method of voting is secret for those who
can mark their own votes, but never has
it been so easy to watch the illiterate
vote, especially for town representative,
as under the present system. The same
amount of electioneering is done before
election as formerly and each voter who
cannot read is instructed before election
by candidates for Office as to which one
of the candidates friends on the board
of civil authority he is to call upon to in
struct him in making his mark. ..
Other points might be mentioned but
we hope to give an exhaustive summary
of the defects of the new system as now
in force in the near future so that mem
bers of the coming Legislature may see
just what the ballot law needs by way of
amendment.-Free Press.

CORRESPONDENCE.
Care of Contagious Diseases.

NORTH BENNINGTON, VT, Sept.1S, 1892.
Editor Banner: In this time of great
anxiety to prevent the spread of infec-
tions and contagious diseases through
out the country, and especially with the
prevalence of diphtheria in our own
State and community, it seems to me
that you would do great service to the
public if you would give the inclosed
copy of instructions prominent place in
your paper, thus giving many families
hints and information that they might in
no other way obtain, and possibly help
to prevent an epidemic among our peo-
pie. c. E. W. 4.
The following instructions, referred to
above, for the management of con-
tagious diseases, were prepared for the
National Board of Health by Professors
G. F. Chandler, Henry Draper, G. F.
Barker, S. o. VanderpOol, +. e. Jane
way and Ira Remme.
instructions for Disinfection: Disin-
fection is the destruction of the pOisons
of infectious and contagious diseases.
Deodorizers, or substances which de-
stroy smells, are not necessarily disinfec-
tants, and disinfectants do not necessar-
lily have an odor. DisinfectiOn cannot
compensate for want of cleanliness nor
Of ventilation.
Disinfectants to be employed: Sui
phate of iron (copperas), dissolved in
water, one and half pounds in a gallon;
for privys, sewers, cesspools, and soil
where slops are thrown, cellars stables,
yards and cutters. Sulphate of zinc in
the proportion of four ounces, and COM
mon salt two ounces, dissolved in one
gallon of water, for clothing, bed linen,
towels, etc. that can be washed. All ar
ticles on removal from patient before
taken from room, to be placed in pail
or tub, piece by piece, having the liquid
boiling hot if possible, thoroughly wet
ting and boil half an hour at least. All
discharges from patients should either
be received in vessel containing cop
peras solution or when impracticable i'm
mediately covered with copperas solu-
ton. All vessels used about the patient
cleaned with the same solution. To
every privy or water closet allow one
pint of the solution for every four per-
sons night and morning. FumigatlOn
with sulphur is the only practicable
method for disinfecting the house. For
this purpose the room to be disinfected
must be vacated. Heavy clothing, bed
ding, blankets, silks. furs, stuffed bed
covers and carpets on the floor may be
hung up or spread out and exposed in
the room during the fumigation. Close
the room as tightly as possible, place the
sulphur in iron pans supported on bricks
planced in a wash tub, containing "a little
water set it on fire with hot Goals or
spoonful of alcohol, close the room, and
let it remain closed twenty-four hours.
For room ten feet square two pounds
of sulphur should be used, and for larger
rooms proportionally increased quanti-
ties. After fumigation they should be
hung in the open air, beaten and thor
oughly shaken. Pillows, beds, stuffed

WEATHER REPORT.

Another week of most excellent wealth
er has just gone by, and the farmers
improved it by rapidly harvesting their
crops. Much corn has been cut, and
that which is left standing is generally
out of the way of frosts. There are
one or two exceptions to this, but they
are few in number. Potatoes are being
dug, and on wet or late land they are
found to be rotting to considerable ex-
tent.
Fall feed is generally looking well, and
in many places good crop of rowen has
been secured. The correspondent at
Amherst, Mass, reports the best yield of
lowen for years. The drought is broken
in the South, and grass seed and rye are
being put in as fast as possible. Toma-
toes have yielded well, and onions are
reported excellent. Indeed, there are
few crops besides potatoes that have not
on the whole, given a coed yield.
Apples are dropping again very generally;
AT Middleboro, Mass, about one-thlrd
of the usual crop is reported. At Taun-
ton, Mass, the beans will not yield well
on account of the present severe drought;
but that corn will be good elsewhere.
There has been an abundance of sun
shine, and the temperature has been above
the average. The last two or three days
of the week showed unusually high for
this date. The nights have been gener-
ally cool, and light frosts are reported
in places, although no damage has been
done. Very heavy rain fell on the 14th,
giving more than the average for the
week in all sections except in Central
Vermont and in Eastern Maine. The
following amounts from the different
stations show the distribution: Maine:
Calais, 40; Lewiston, 2.62; Portland,
1.50 New Hampshire: Brookline: 1.25;
West Milan, 1.39; Vermont: Northfield,
so. Massachusetts,: Mt. Tom, 1.52;
Boston, 1.29; Nantucket, 30. Rhode
Island: Block Island, 1.42. Connecticut:
Voluntown, 2.25; New London 1.65;
Vernon Centre, LA. The rain was ac-
companied by heavy winds in Connecti-
cut, and considerable damage was done
to standing corn and buckwheat.
Vermont.-East Randolph: the stand
ing for corn is 95; rowen, 90; apples, 75;
oats, so; rye, 80; potatoes, 20. Hart
land: | get variable and conflicting
reports about apples. The summing up
is: nearly as many set as last yet, but
more fell off, leaving a good supply,
| quite often of extra good size and quail
ity. Brattleboro: cool nights and warm
days have ripened crops fast; corn nearly
all cut; potatoes dug,--no rot, small
crop; apples look fine; the grass looks
very nice indeed. Bennington: winter
grain is being sown; corn mostly cut and
shocked.

ly and economically administered"
81 am not here to apologize for that
plank" he said. II am here to advocate
and defend it." This declaration he EN-.
deavored to modify later on in the OBJ
vious hope of placating any protection
Democrats that might be in the audience.
But the effort only served to entangle
him in a mass of absurdities and contra
dictions without lessening the force of
the fact that by declaring himself in
favor of the Confederate free trade plank,
Hill has put himself ON record as an ad-
vocate of lessening the wages of labor
and crippling American industry. Mr..
Hill cannot plead ignorance of the intent
of the Democratic tariff plank. His
angry statement, made while his wrath
was still fresh after the Chicago conven-
ton, that "the tariff plank in the Demo-
cratic platform has converted every
workshop in the United States into a
Republican campaign headquarters"
showed that he appreciated the full
meaning of this vital part of the plat
form. BY this utterance Hill confessed
that the free trade plank was direct as
sauit on American labor and sure to be
resented as such. His advocacy of it
now is simply one more indication that
the South ridden Democracy is practical
ly solid in its devotion to the interests of
foreign manufacturers and its hostility
to the interests of the intelligent and well
paid workingmen of the Northern and
Western States.
If protection is unconstitutional then
we have no right to make law which
purposely protects our laborerS from the
competition of ill paid European labor
ers. Mr.. Hill explicitly asserts that it is
unconstitutional. In so doing he an
nounces himself the enemy of 1.-The men
who eat their bread in the sweat of their
faces."-N. Y. Press.

mattresses, upholstered furniture should
be cut open, the contents spread out and
fumigated as above. The person who
lights the sulphur must Immediately
leave the room and after proper time
as he enters the room to open the win
dows hold his breath. Articles used by
patients should never be mingled with
the family washing or sent to public
laundry. Contagious diseases are often
taken at funerals of those who have died
of them, and the Sanitary Code of New
York forbids public funerals of any per-
son dying of small pox, diphtheria, scar
let fever, yellow fever, typhus fever, or
cholera. Inmates of the house should
neither make or receive visits while the
patient is sick, and the immediate at
tendant on the sick should not leave the
house without change of outside cloth
ing in the cases above mentioned
Diphtheria or consumption: Special
care should be taken to avoid inhaling
the breath of the patient as these diseases
are communicated through the secretions
of the nose, throat and lungs.
Scarlet fever and measles: These are
communicable during convalescence as
well as during the illness. The body of
the patient should be annointed twice a
day with sweet oil lard or vaSeline con-
tanning ten grains of carbolic acid or
thYmol to the ounce. This should be
continued until all scaling of the skin is
at an end. Before associating with others
the patient should have several complete
ablutions, including washing of the hair
with soap or borax, and none of the
clothing worn before the disease should
be used until thoroughly fumigated
ha.I At, IL o,,I
dysintery: Poison contained in the dis
charges from the bowels, particular at
tention should be paid to the disinfection
of such by zinc or copper solution. Never
enter sick room with an empty stomach
or when very tired. Never eat or drink
anything that has been long exposed in
| sick room. Breathe through your nose
and keep your mouth shut except when
| talking. ..

Mr.. George Ticknor Curtis must be
surprised at the vivid memories of his
fellow Democrats for incidents touching
his own mental peculiarities. 1t is to be
noted, however, that none of them reflect
upon the ability of Mr.. Curtis as an in
terpreter of the Constitution and consti-
tutional history. And we believe that is,
the issue which he has taken with the
Chicago platform. In view of that this
Democratic flood of ana savors very much
of the pettifogger's instructions to abuse
the plaintiff when there was no other
course open.
