The Best Disinfectants.

NOOu 'plhS'
The old saying that dirt is
healthy no longer holds its ground
in the light of modern research.
Not all dirt is actually disease
producing. 1t is true, but all places
where filth accumulates, or where
there is decaying matter Of any
kind, are very likely to afford
abode and sustenance to any di-
sease germs which may be float
ing about in the air. Here they
multiply and wax strong
and lie in wait to attack the first
animal or human being that
comes along, whose vital forces are
not strong enough to bar the en-
trance of these microscopic enc
mics. No soiled clothing should
lie about sleeping apartments, no
rubbish should accumulate in the
attic, no rotten rags under the
sink, no decaYing vegetables in the
cellar, no SOiling matter or dust
anywhere. Disease microbes do
not crawl about actively like flies :;
they are invisible, living, organic
dust, and can often be gotten rid of
as such. The greatest sanitary
safety lies in absolute cleanliness.
Powerful disinfectants are main
ly useful in the hands of a reliable
physician, when disease actually
exists in the house; but they lose
much of their effect, unless all that
can be done in the way Of cleanli-
ness has already been accom-
plished. They are substances
which, in the liquid or gaseous
form, are intended to meet and
destroy all living disease microbes
which may be floating in the air,
lodged in the belongings of the
sick room, or which cling to the
person or exist in the discharges of
the patient. Others than phySi-
clan may sometimes apply these
things intelligently and with effect;
but for all ordinary household SAN
itatiOn, the mistress would better
confine her efforts to bringing her
house, its furnishings and its sur
rOundings into a condition as near
to perfect cleanliness as possible.
In the prosecution of this sani-
tary work sunshine and fresh air
are also valuable aids. Direct sun
shine is generally believed by in
vestigatOrs to be hostile to many
disease microbes. If this be true
there is one more reason why sun
shine should be freely admitted
to all our rooms. Volumes of
fresh air are extremely use
full in sweeping out the mi
crobe-laden air Of dwelling, and es-
pecially rooms which have been
used as sick chambers. In fact,
the housewife has always aid she
may largely prevent the entrance
and spread of disease in her home
soap and water Especially att the
boiling point, plenty of fresh air
and floods of sunshine. These are
ordinarily the best disinfectants.

An Arctic Trip.

Mrs. Burgess, the wife of men,
Der of the Newfoundland Assem-
bly,, has accomplished a feat sec
Ond only to that of Mrs. Peary. She
accompanied her husband to the
session at st Johns, walking 80
miles over snow and ice on snow
shoes. They had guide, sledge
and three dogs carrying luggage
and provisions. On one occasion
it was necessary to cross an arm of
the sea ii miles wide in a boat.
The boat was leaky. Four rowers,
Mr.. Burgess and his wife, the
guide dogs and sledge We're all in
the boat. They had to unravel a
rope to fill the seams of the boat to
prevent her from sinking. They
were caught in the running ice
and nearly carried out to sea.
The men gave themselves up for
lost, but they gained an isolated
rock, and finally got to the main
land. The rest of the journey, l27
miles, was through the interior,
crossing rivers by mean of trees.
Mrs. Burgess is the first woman in
Newfoundland to make such a
journey.

SOLDIER PENSIONERS.

A Democratic fusilade was made
yesterday on pension legislation, and
the attack was led by German and
Palmer. After each general election
a spasm OF economy seizes the Democ-
racy, and its first efforts to decrease
public expenses appears to be directed
towards the pension list and the next
against the river and harbor bill. 1t
may be that the nation has been too
generous in providing for those who
received wounds or became perma-
nently incapacitated from other eau ses
during the civil CIR previous wars; bu
mistaken generosity is more readily
excused than apathetic penuriousness.
That he who fights the battles Of his
country for the small pittance of $l3
or $l5 q month. and risks his life and
limb in defense of the flag, is entitled
to the gratitude of the nation no pa
triot will deny. 1t was by reason of
this self-sacrifcing loyalty to the gov
ernment that the United States occu-
pies the proud position she does to-
day, and if, in the ful6llment of this
duty, the soldier is rendered unable to
earn living, it would be base ingrati-
tude to allow him to starve or become
a public charge. There are many,
perhaps, who never saw hostile
foe in battle, and who lurked around
places of safety when danger was immi-
nent, on the pension list; but it is
very difficult to guard against these as
they carefully cover all evidence Of
fraud. The general principle of pen
sions to disabled soldiers is commend
able, and one WHICH this nation ought
to uphold; but it would work no in
jury to deserving subjects to have a
searching investigation of the pension
list, and strike from it those who
are not entitled to the gratitude of the
government. Year by year the num-
ber becomes less, and before another
decade has passed In the history of the
nation, pensioners of the revolutionary
struggle will have gone to their long
home, there will be but few Mexican
war veterans, and the ranks of those
who fought in the last war will be
thinned by answers to the final roll
call. But the time will never come
when the soldier should be forgotten,
and the MANNED and emaciated heroes
of the great struggle be allowed to be
fed or clothed by public charity.

John w. Mackay, of San Francisco,
must be considered in the list of those
against whom the unfortunate poor"
have grievance. He is very wealthy,
and this was considered sufficient
crime for Wesley G. Rippey to make
a target of him for a pistol ball yes
terday. The wound is not necessarily
fatal, out Rippey, who emptied an
other chamber in himself, is fatally
injured. With lawyers, doctors, and
even among editors, the accumulation
of money appears to be the acme of
ambition, and yet when this object is
accomplished it places one in the un-
enviable position Of being liable to be
shot down without a moments warn
ing. Sage, Frick and Mackay are the
illustrious trio who have suffered
within the past year for being sue
cessful II the object aud aim of nine
tenths of the population of the coun-
try. Perfect happiness is not attain
able without wealth, and the possession
of money seems to be heinous crime
to those who are less fortunate.

A Murder Caused by Drink.

ALBANY, Or, Feb. 2S-At 3 o'clock this
morning fatal alteration took place In A.
w. Grubbe's saloon in Lebanon. Morgan
Wassom, son of Jonathan Wassom, wealthy
and respected Linn county pioneer living at
Lebanon, had been drinking in another sa-
loon in the place. He entered Grubbe's sa-
loon and took two or three drinks with
Grubbe. w. A. Carol, commercial man
of San Francisco, and J. Mossholder, team
ster, Of. Lebanon, quarreled with Grubbe,
who asked them to go out. Grubbe followed
Wassom to the door. Wassom pulled pis-
iol and fired, hitting Grubbe just below the
heart, killing him almost instantly. Coroner
Farrell and Attorneys WYATT and Weatherford.
to prosecute and defend, from this place, were
sent for. The coroner's jury returned YER
dict in accordance with the facts. Wassom
had an examination and was held without
bail. He is about IS years old, single and
we'll to do Grubbe was well liked. He
had wife and three children. He came
from Kansas five years ago, and was re-
spected there. He has served as city mar,
