like a man Of sense and a patriot in pro-

would that Justify Mr.. CLEvLLAND's inter-

Tat Mr.. CLEVELAND could acquire no right

gaiiuI that Mr.. STEVENS had encouraged

To THE EDITOR OF The SUS-Sr: Thanks for
your editorial comments OF the lst inst. on
Communism Pure and Simple" The adop-
tion OF the Income tax is the entering OF the
thin end OF the wedge. The growth Of AmerI-
can liberty and civilization. which has for .
century been onward has at last been reversed,
and now tends backward toward oppression
and bartArism. We have finally reached the
point where honesty Is no longer the best pol
icJ, but the greatest profit 10 tho greatest num-
Der IL the only thing to be considered.
Next in order will be \ bill providing that all
people with incomes under 81 90 shall ride
free in all public eonyeyances. Why mott II
would surely benefit the majority and no one
would suffer but q few mIlionaIrss or bond
holders, whose votes would not be worth count
Ing, Then Congress might next provide that
every voter in the country should receive Sl2
month This would assuredly be a very pop
ular measure, ana no doubt vast majority
would favor IL. and whatever the majority
fAyoTe must Of course be right.

eonversant with the modern method OF treat
ing cataract, recently requested his ocu!ist to
perform an operation upon the blind eye but
for Q very good reason the oculist declined.
He may possibly carry out Mr.. GL.DsToSE's
desire after the power OF vision has derarted

Dig up the Constitution and stiek to it!

We DO not see how the Legislature could
enact or provide Cor the enforcement OF a law
like that which DR.. Porter u Albany advo-
Gated in his lecture before the Academy Of
Medicine upon Contagious Diseases" He
desires a law for the restriction Of the mar
rage OF people suffering from certain all
ments A man or . woman affiicted with
tuberculosis" he said. should not be allowed
TO enter into marriage with healthy person.
and the Legislature should prohibit such mar
riages, making parties contracting the N Grim
inally liable We could wish that DR.. Porter
had submitted to the Academy n practicable
measure OF law embodyinR this restrictive
principle. In order that soms idea might oe
obtained Of the nature Of the provisions which
he regards as desirable. and OF the way in
which they ought TO be carried out.
The subject is certainly a very serious one.
