REPORTING CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.

Health Officer Woodward is to be COM
mended for his prompt execution Of the law
requiring a physician to report every case Of
scarlet fever or diphtheria within twenty-four
hours of the time il comes to MS notice
DR.. Pyles, rising young physician of Ana
costa, was. unfortunately, the physician in
the case, and it is thought that he may have
overlooked the character Of the disease. The
incident, however, will do much to assure the
people Of the District that the health Office
maintains strict watch and that it realizes
the necessity Of prompt and strict execution
Of the health laws.
The particular law in question is one
vitslly necessary to the sanitary care of a
city. The isolated physician has not the
facilities, even though he realizes the necess
sity Of checking the spread Of disease. That
function properly pertains to the municipality
and it should be vigorously exercised.

THE NORWICH CONGRESS.

The cablegrams of yesterday announced
that the trade union congress at Norwich was
again divided into two parties, which are in
general terms denominated the old trades
unionists and the new trades-unionists. The
old party is made up mainly Of skilled labor,
and the new is composed almost entirely Of
unskilied labor.
The same issue was drawn in the congress
Of 1890, and the radical, or new unionists, car
ried the day. They were then, as now, under
the leadership OF John Burns Member of Par
lament from Battersea. vigorous organizer.
powerful speaker, and an engineer by trade.
ME. Burns believes less in trades-unionism
than in socialism. and, if he is quoted cor
rectly, has said that trade-unionism carries
within itself the source OF its own dissolution.
Very Hkly this is true, and it is more than
likely that Mr.. Burns and his following rep
resent the source of this dissolution. The
leaven OF radical thought has been fermenting
in the minds of English Workingmen since
1888, and Mr.. Burns may be correct when he
exultingly declares that the congress marks
ian end Of unionism and the triumph of So
cialism.''
Let US look squarely at what the English
workingmen are abandoning and what they
hope 70 gain The actual results Of trades
unionism are as follows
The labor report of the board Of trade for
1892 lie the latest yet made public. Returns
are given in it OF no less than 599 trade
unions. These had an aggregate OF 1,2S7. .S67
members, an income during the year of
SIS, ,s54, ,21O, and expenditures for all purposes
Of IS. .s26. sS6. The expenditures were made
by individual unions. and better apprecia-
tion of their purport will be had by consider
ing some OF them apart from the whole bulk.
Thus 29s unions, with 745. .647 members. paid
for the maintenance OF those out OF work
not on strike-S1, ,9S4, se5, and "a unions with
$4,000 members, paid s5S2, ,76O TO members
too old TO work. Not less than S1,O73, ,07O
was paid TO the sick, S4l6, ,s95 for funeral
benefits. and $50. $50 10 members temporar-
lily disabled by accidents. Unfortunately,
1892 was year not only of bad trade, but of
many strikes and other disturbances, SO that
the largest item of expenditures, 81, 1856, 455,
went for dispute benefits is, for the
maintenance Of strikes
In giving up these benefits the unionists
expect TO gain the fslleBiRg; Nationalist

eight-hour day; state erection of working
mems dwellings, to be let at bare cost; pro-
portional representation; separation OF church
and state; abolition of the House of Lords,
and many other attractive reforms.
The conservative members Of the Norwich
Congress hold that the protection Of the wage
rate is the great duty of unionism; the radi-
cal wing coLtends that the old plan is mere
temporizing, and that the ultimate goal of
State socialism should be the single object.
The result will be watched with interest by
laboring men in this country.

A NOISE IN LOUISIANA.
SUGAR TARIFFS.


Mckinley. Wilson German
Raw. Free Free 30 per cent
Refined l1c Free &c and 40 pc.
The Louisiana planters are dissatisfied with
the sugar schedule as it appears in the Have
meyer-Gorman bill. They have concluded to
affiliate with the Republicans, and in SO doing
will place three Democratic Congressional
districts in serious danger Of changing their
political compilations.
An examination of the sugar tariffs as quoted
above tails 10 disclose why the planters are
going to leave the Democratic party. The
present tariff bill gives them more protection
than vouchsafed in either the Mckinley or
Wilson bills, and, according TO the planters
committee, it is protection that they want
although they are skillful enough not to def
nitely characterize the protection.
The bounty is what they want
Herein lies the great difference in the three
tariff schedules. The Mckinley law collected,
with its right hand, heavy toll on imported
articles Of necessity. turned over, with its left
hand, part OF the proceeds to sugar planters
in the shape OF bounty, and announced 10 the
people Of the United States that il had cheap
ened the retail cost Of sugar-and so it had 4,
al the expense Of raising the price Of other
articles OF equal necessity.
This was the MeKin ley jugglery.
The Wilson tariff did away with the bounty
70 the planters trust and at the same time
struck blow at the rehners' trust. The
German tariff protected the rehners and left
the planters still out in the cold. That is the
real trouble.

head of the Milwaukee A. R. u, had come TO
him with a request from Debs that all the

"McAuliffe said that Debs was sure he
would win, the witness said, land urged us
to go out. I replied that if we could be as
sured that our places would be secure if the
strike should be lost, that the men would
strike. Not many of them went out, how
ever"
fireman on the st. Paul road testified
that he had left his place because OF intimida-
ton, and an engineer on the same line said
he was told that if he did not leave his engine
he would never get out of Chicago alive.
William A. Henry, of Kankakee, switch
man IN the employ of the Illinois, Indiana,
and Iowa Railroad was the next witness, and
one of the most important offered by the gov
ernment because he had personally received
a telegram ordering him 10 call out the men.

evidence as possibly throwing light on the
intentions of the respondents.
Replying to Mr.. Walker, the witness pro-

kakee signed L. V. Debs. All of these he
read. The first was received by witness on
July /, and read ''Adopt measures to get Big
Four out. Promise protection to all. whether
members or not. Appoint good committee
and wire name Of chairman" At that time
witness was a member of the American Rail-
way Union. Witness showed the TELEGRAM
when he received it to several switchmen,
but took no further action.
