Doctor Roosevelt Says that Death Is
Not q Grim Monster.

Familiarity with death is apt to alter
ones earlier conceptions Of it. Two
ideas are very generally accepted
which experience shows to be false.
One Is that the dying usually fear
death; and the other, that the act of
dyingis accompanied by pain. 1t is
we'll known to all physicians that when
death is near its terrors do not seem to
be felt by the patient. Unless the i'm
agination is stimulated by the fright
full portrayal of the supposed ''pangs
OF death, or of the sufferings which
some believe the soul must endure
after dissolution, it is rare inded that
the last days or hours of life are passed
in dread. Oliver Wendell Holmes has
recorded his protest against the GUS
tom of telling person who does not
actually ask to know that ha can not
recover. AS that loving observer Of
mankind asserts 80 must everyone who
knows whereof he speaks assert that
people almost always come to under
stand that recovery is impossible; it is
rarely needful to tell anyone that this
is the case. When nature gives the
warning death appears to be as little
feared as sleep. Most sick persons are
very, very tired; sleep-long, quiet
sleep-is what they want. Ihave seen
many people die. have never seen
one who seemed to fear death, except
when 1t was, or seemed 10 be, rather
far away. Even those who are con.
stantly haunted, while strong and well,
with dread OF the end Of life forget
their fear when that end is at hand.
As for theact Of dying-the final
pgssage from had saidsvit isaeAws,
lutely without evidence that the-oft
repeated assertions Of its psinfulnesf
are made. Most people are unconscious
for some hours before they die; and in
the rare cases where consciousness is
retained unimpaired until few min
utes before the end the last sensation
must be Of perfect calm and rest 1t
is worse than cruel to add to the ma
tural dread of death which oppresses
the majority of US while in good health
the dread Of dying.-From I'm the

SECRETARY NORTON on FARMING.
Fallacy Of HIS Free Trade Arguments.
Need Of Diversified Industries.

Sir: II anyone. except always the
farmer himself, should be supposed to
know about farming, its condition,
prospects and needs it would seem to
be the Secretary Of Agriculture. Pre-
suming upon that, Mr.. Morton has
furnished "The Forum for June with
slight essay upon Farmers, Falla-
cies and Furrows." which abounds
largely with the intermediate of the
three "Fs." He recalls that eleven
Presidents Of the United States were
called from the farms. and that in the
earlier days OF the Republic there was
NO profession or calling more honored
than that Of agriculture. He further
shows that in 1850 one half OF the peo-
pie Of the United States we're farmers.
butin 1890 less than forty per cent.
were engaged In agriculture. He prop
erly ascribes the decline In prices
largely 70 the increased acreage under
the plow, and to the increase OF the
American supply OF farm products, as
compared with the American demand
Tor them, and to the increase Of pro-
duction all over the world, and winds
mp with one OF his fallacies that for
eign demand has been absolutely ban
ished by prohibitory tariff. "The
most serious drawback to the American
farmer, f." he says, 'is IN his compulsory
purchasing in the home market whence
all the competition OF the outside world
is excluded. Mr.. Morton seems to
have an idea that every farmer should
take his products and peddle them
about the world and take In barter
what he needed for family consump-
tion, forgetting the moral Of young
Primrose's exchanging good horse
for gross Of spectacles, and that
business isn't conducted now on that
basis. He says the most efficacious
remedy for evils accrued from low
| prices 10 ITO give the farmers the right
to buy in the markets of all the civil
lied world wherein they are compiled
to SELL" Where could the farmer buy
more cheaply the things he is compell-
ed to purchase than in the United
States, where the protective tariff has
stimulated such competition as to make
manufactured. goods as cheap as any
where fn the world, and where tea and

RECEIPTS DIMINISHING.
Government Must Soon Do Something 10 Re.
lleve the Treasuy..RepubIicans Are Nd
Supposed 10 Aid the Administration.

WAsHINGToN,. Jan. 11.-Secretary Car
Isle proposed an issue Of bonds to the
senate committee on finance yesterday
afternoon.
Mr.. Carlisle said he wanted authority
TO issue bonds, and so stated to the com.
mittee afterwards. He thinks an Issue
OF bonds the simplest way to meet the
apparently rapidly approaching crisis In
the treasury.
The secretary dwelt briefly on the
rapidly diminishing gold reserve, and
stated that instead of Increasing, as he had
hoped the government receipts would do,
they had continued to diminish until
there was coming TO be a monthly gap OF
about 100000 between receipts and ex.
penditures. He thought, therefore, that
1t was expedieut that congress should
take steps 10 provide against the evil. He
asked that the act of 1875 for the resump
tion OF specie payments, which also
authorizes IA bond issue should be 90
amended as to permit this issuance for
shorter time and at a lower rate OF IN,
terest than is provided for In that act.
The lowest rate of interest named In the
bonds provided for in the act Ia 4 per
cent, and the time for the per cent bond,
AS W 1Nals' Ilt iIiOuRub IL "Oulo Uc
very easy matter to sell enough bonds to
tide over the present emergency, to meet
the prospective deficiency of the present
fiscal year, at per cent interest and run
Eing for three, four or five years.
There was a general Interchange OF
opinion among memb mbers of the commit
tee. Enough was developed to show that
II Is going to be very difficult for the com.
mittee to agree upon bill. The Repub
lican members made remarks which
seemed to indicate that they could not be
counted upon TO aid the Democratic ad.
ministration In getting itself out Of its
difficulties.
Another element in the committee
holds that instead of bonds, certificates
should be issued upon the silver seignior
age in the treasury. The meeting dis
persed without taking any action.

IL President Cleveland or Secretary
Carlisle were to offer liberal reward for
the key to the financial situation there
is one person in the country who would
surely make SCOOP" as will ne seen by
the following editorial whi,h appeared
In the Providence Journal OF Wednesday.
"There is apparently an unfortunate dis
position among the members OF the
House to bring forward a variety OF pro.
posals for the relief OF the Treasury. This
question is a very simple one, and its
prompt settlement ought not to be him
dered by multiplication of plans" The
writer ought to send marked copy OF the
paper to the President and his Cabinet,
also to each member of the lower branch
OF Congress.

"Change the items of the bill," says Dir.
Wilson, "ii you choose; but let Us not dis

who plod their weary way borne down by

A WORD TO wOONsOcKET.

Ii was some time ago that we meta
phoricsliy moppsd the floor with the
Wocnsocket Reporter and since that time
1t has kept suspiciously silent. But now
has an idea come TO the Reporter and II
attempts, in spasmodie way, to call the
TRIBUNE to task for standing by the
| Wilson bill.
| We do not say, and never have said,
that the Wilson bill was perfect; but 1t
is better than nothing, and is also in the
rig ht direction. II is far better than the

who can plead ignorance of what exists
or of what must be done
1t will not do, therefore, to now chatter
about old, worn and condemned meth
DDS; about cleaning out and sinking
deeper the foul drain on the south. Nor
will it be tolerable to talk of Indefinitely
continuing the fearfully costly system
now in vogue at the pumping works on
street. Anything more absurd and ex-
pensive than that cannot be devised. In
fact we have spent enough in ten years
last past on that pitiful plant to have con-
structed out of hand splendid chemical
disposal works, and have paid large
part of the cost of their operation.
For year Sacramento has had COM
mission of engineers and specialists at
work studying this subject, but they
have only progressed so far as to tell us,
in preliminary report, that we have no
true sewage disposal system-that we
must adopt modern system, and that
the best should be chosen, which means
separate system of pipes laid very near
the surface to carry storm waters, while
sewers must be employed to carry the
sewage to pits for proper treatment and
disposal.
The gentlemen of the commission are
earnest, well-informed and public-spir-
tied. But they are serving without re-
ward, and at the expense of their private
business, and we have no right to expect
from them the absorption of their whole
time in the city's interest.
There are plenty of good engineers who
have made drainage and sewage dis
posal study, and who are qualified by
| experience, who will come to US and in
twenty days tell us exactly what can be
approximate to the cost. For there are
twenty cities in the Union that have had
bitter experience of our kind, and have
at heavy cost exploited the whole subject
and found remedies. The knowledge that
cost them so much is ours without price,
if we choose to avail of it.
| The very first act of the new City Trus-
tees after organization, should be to
grapple this subject, down it, and within
month set on foot scheme for giving
US, before the close of 1894, good sew
age disposal system.
1t is useless to pirate about cost and
financial inability. We must do it or pay
the heavier cost of refusal. We have no
longer any choice in the matter. We are
in the middle of the stream and must
seize upon float or drown.
