DIPTHTRERIA.

A. the dread disease diphtheria has
again appeared in several localities in this
State. with the usual fatal results, the
following rules for its management, from
Halls Journal Of Health. are worthy Of
consideration
First. strips Of linen or cotton fabric,
about aiaht -iaaA~- .~idA. folded several
times, and long enough to reach from ear
to ear. should be wrung out Of ice water
(ifsin winter) and if in summer put dir.
ectiy upon ice. and then applied. exter-
nallyto the throat. and as fast as one
cloth gets warm another should be ready
to take its place. If the child complains
OF being cold, its feet and hands should
be bathed in as hot water as it can stand.
When the child is very young. it may be
readily ascertained if it be cold or not by
feeling its hands and head. Under no
circumstances should hot applications be
made to the throat. If the child is old
enough it may be given broken ice to
suck constantly, even if the water is spit
out. The cold applications inhibit the
growth OF the microbes. The patients
hands should be washed frequently--and
here let me say 30 should those OF at.
tendants-and tho vessel used for the
purpose should not be used for any one
else. The pasient's clothiog needs pro.
teotion in front. reaching - far ~ the
knees. The little patient. il old enough,
will want to spit. and for = spittoon a
little wooden box with an inch Of saw.
dust on the bottom 10 capital Fresh
sswdust should DO supplied at least once
day three times . day would be bet
ter--snd that which has been used should
! be burned when the change 10 made. II
there are any Aies about, the box should
be kept covered. and only uncovered
when the child wants to spit; otherwise.
the flies alighting upon the spittle would
carry the germs of the disease with them
and then alighting upon the family's
food and drink. necessarily infect them,
and thus indirectly infect the whole fam.
lily. This is BY no means chimerical, but
. well.established fact. All clothing and
bed clothing that come in contact with a
diphtheria patient contain the germs of
the disease. For this reason all such
clothing should be disinfected. and aired
or washed before II is ssed again.

An Eight Hour Day in the Mines.

BRUSSELS, May 24-The Miners Inter
national Conference, at its session to-day,
adopted resolution in favor OF an eight
hours working day in the mines. The sup
porters of the resolution represented W.,
coo miners, aud the opponents Apresented
100. 900 miners. The conference then pro-
ceeded to discuss the question OF uniyer-
sal strike to enforce the eight hour system.
The discussion of this question was
somewhat lengthy, a strong minority being
against the proposition for a universal
strike to compel the establishment OF
legal eight hour day. The supporters OIL
the proposition were vehement IN their
declarations that the end sought would
never be obtained until an international
strike forced employers and legislators 10
recognize that the miners were determined
to secure what they deemed the right
When he question was put to vote an
overwhelming majority supported the
proposition. Delegates representing SOO,-
600 miners voted favorlng an international
strike, while those opposed to them repre-
sented only 20, 900 miners. The delegates
representing he miners OF the north OF
England and Wales voted with the minor
ity.
The conference voted unanimously in
favor of the exclusion of female labor from

noN. Q. woop DAILY.

Our Washington dispatches convey
the information that the President has
offered Hon. c. WooD DAILY the Office
OF Assistant Attorney General of the
United States.
This is another high honor for West
Virginia, aud it is also recognition OF
Democrat, who is not only "silver
tongued," but pure golden Democracy
from head 20 foot. aud fully worthy OF
any honor the President can confer on
him.
Mr.. DAILY stands in the front rank OF
lawyers in West Virginia, whose legal
fraternity is noted for its ability. He
has done wheelhorse service for the
West Virginia Democracy through many
a hard fought campaign. So, his APP
poIntment. II he will accept the Presi-
dents offer, will be doubly fitting.
In word, Mr.. CLEVELAND could not
find more capable man for the posi-
tlon, nor reward a worthier Democrat.

THE wEArnER BUREAU.
A Lamentable Lack of Order and Re-
sponsibllitY Discovered.

sponsibllity Discovered
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 24.-Assist-
ant Attorney General Colby to-day
made isreport to the Secretary OF Az
riculture on the weather bureau inves-
tigation. He enters into voluminous
details to sustain his conclusions that
the system OF management adopted by
the chief OF the weather bureau, In ad-
ditlon to- the objection Of being with
out authority Of law, has resulted in
the relieving of subordinate officials
from responsibility, and in the entire
absence of business methods so notice
able in the general conduct Of the ex'
ecutive work. Neither the chief OF
the bureau nor any subordinate OFF,
Ger is regarded as responsible for
the vast amount OF property
or the funds of the Government in his
charge, although over 100000 have
been expended through the officers OF
the bureau during the year. The evil
dence shows that the property OF the
Government has been taken from the
bureau for private use, or illegally sold,
the embezzlement have been discovered
and brought TO the notice OF the chief
of the bureau but the offenders, with
perhaps but a single exception, have
never sbeen punished; and that many
thousand dollars worth OF public pro-
perty carried on the official rolls is not
to be found in the bureau and is I'M
accounted for. 1t further appears
that there is a lamentable lack of
harmony in the relations existing be-
tween different officials of the weather
bureau. Officers of high rank are on
terms of personal enmity with one
another.

EULALIA.

Snobocracy has been inclined TO criti-
else the President for not returning the
call of the royal Princess EULALIA,
Mr.. CLEVELAND, however, is man
who, fortunately, can stand powerful
sight of criticism without turning a
hair,
The Spanish Infanta left Spain be-
hind when she embarked for America,
aud on her native shores she left
all her royal rights and privileges.
In the United States she is by courtesy
recognized to the full extent Of her
high rank, but il is in Uncle Sans own
way. Etiquette did not require the
President to return the call Of the
Spanish princess any more than it re-
Quires him to return the call OF JOHN
SMITH, Of Arizona, who drops into the
White House to pay his respects and
inquire about an Office.
The Spanish Inianta, herself, is a
great deal more sensible on this point
than the snobocracy of the East, which
has been worrying its supposed brains
over intricate and absurd questions of
royal etiquette. She has brought none
OF the parsphernalis of royalty with
her and she puts up at an American no.
tel as the plainest subject OF Spain
might do, if he could foot the bill.
She is sensible woman who knows
that she is not high and mighty
outside Of her own country. She ap-
pears to understand American ways a
great deal better than some Americans
and is not in the least Inconvenience
by the absence of royal retinue at her
heels. She is here for genuine pleas
ure aud she evidently knows how to
get IL.
