Condition of Trade.

THIS has been a week Of record
breaking. In wheat, in silver, in some
forms of iron and steel, in Connellsvllle
coke, and in we'll known cotton and
woolen goods, the lowest prices ever
known have been made, and it is graft
flying that failures of Importance have
not resulted. The great fall in wheat
had a perceptible influence upon the
tone of business generally, and there
was less confidence in Wall Street, less
improvement in manufactures, and a
greater decrease in the volume of
payments through clearing houses,
which were 25.4 per cent. less than a
year ago outside New York, and 43.7
per cent. less than a year ago here,
Notwithstanding unusual transactions in
grain. While no action especially
affecting business prospects was taken
at Washington, the continued discus
sion Of revenue and monetary measures,
and the uncertainty regarding them,
have constant unfavorable influence,
and in different markets have caused
sudden fluctuations in prices.

Appleton Post: Considerable interest
has been created all through the paper
making district by n. H. Brokaw's S
successful experiments at Kaukauna
and Oconto Falls in making sulphite
fiber from hemlock timber instead of
spruce. 1t is said that hemlock makes
very nice fiber except that the color
is not quite up to that of spruce, but
plenty good enough for print and
MANILA papers. 1t is probable, there
fore, that in the future certain amount
of hemlock will be used, which is plenty
and cheap, while spruce is annually
becoming scarcer and more expensive.

Wisconsin Press Association Meets
in Oshkosh Feb. 2S, March / & 2.

Considerable talk has been INDUCED
i'll as to whom the association will elect
as President at the coming session.
Several newspapers came out in favor
of Mrs. Follett, of Green Bay, believing
that for some reason Mr.. H. NJ
Youmans desired to be relieved from
the duties of said office. Mrs. Follett
refuses positively to be a candidate
The Milwaukee Sunday Telegraph gives
the facts as they really are in the
following article:
Fifteen years ago H. NJ. Youmans had
fairly settled as editor of the Waukesha
Freeman. Since then he has given the
handsome and one of the most famous
summer resort towns in the West, the
best local representative it ever had.
Mr.. Youmans IS a steady puller. He
does not go by fits and starts. Three or
four years ago he made UP his mind
that his friend, Byron J. Price, of the
Hudson Star and Times, should be
president of the National Press Associ-
alton. All of his energies were bent in
that direction during two or three OF
the National meetings. He made the
acquaintance of more delegates than
any other man, all because he wanted
to plant seed that would grow support
for Byron Price, one of the best men in
the state. The final pull was to be
made in California in 1892. Youmans
was there, and before he had reached
the city the Price boom was on; he had
worked it all the way from Chicago.
Price won and Youmans was happy.
thought, two weeks ago, had scooped
the papers III suggestion that the
making a woman its president. A day
later l heard that the Journal, of this
citv, had made the same suggestion.
Gilbert Vandercook, of the Spencer
Tribune, had whispered the idea into
several ears, fearing, probably, that one
might be able to keep the secret a week.
But that does not count. Nandercook,
the Journal and this paper were year
behind with their suggestion. 4oumans
was not content with putting Price at
the head of the procession but he
wanted woman to lead Wisconsin
during the Worlds Fair year, and 80
more than a year ago made an effort to
induce Mrs. Follett, of the Green Bay
Gazette, to take the presidency of the
state association. Mrs. Follett refused
point blank Just as she now refuses.
She would not serve if all of the votes
were cast in her favor. Her mind is
made up. Some day, however, that
excellent woman and successful journal
ist will be president of the association.
1t may be doubted if there will be a
vote against the reelection Of Mr..
Youmans. He is in every respect
worthy and we'll qualified.
Mr. Youmans will be reelected
unanimously by reclamation.

What Vaccination has Done.

New York Evening Post: There has
never been more impressive illustra-
ton of the control which may be gained
over disease than in the history of the
fight against smallpox since Jenner
made his discovery. A recent report of
the Philadelphia municipal hospital
shows that of seventy-eight unvaccinat-
ed infants under one year of age admit
ted while suffering from smallpox,
fifty seven. or almost three-fourths,
died; while of yaccinated infants of the
same age none died. No less striking
were the figures which we reprinted
the other day from the London Lancet,
showing that of l26 persons in Leicester
who had never been yaccinated, and
who caught smallpox, eighty-three
were under 10 years of age, and in nine
of these the disease was fatal, whereas
there was no instance of smallpox oc-
curing in a vaccinated child under 10
years Of age; and of the 155 cases of the
disease occurring in persons who had
been vacclnated, but not revacclnated
recently enough to save them from var
iolold, there were no deaths. The
effect Of compulsion in the matter of
vaccination is demonstrated by COM
parison of three European nations
which make it optional-Austria-H Hun
gary, Russia and France-where the
number of deaths from smallpox in
two recent years ranged between 167
and 5S3 per million; and as many
nations which make it compulsory
Denmark, Sweden and Norway-having
no deaths at all during either of the
years, and the proportion i'll the Ger
man empire being only 0.S and Is per
million in the two years. Vaccination
was made compulsory in Ireland in 1868
During the previous ten years the
deaths from smallpox had averaged
1872 annually. By 1857 the number
had been cut down to 90 and by 1869
to 6.

Fight Vaccination.

Racine, Wis, Feb. 16.-The trouble
over vaccination in the public schools
here are becoming serious. Many par
ents, especially among the Lutherans,
are bitterly opposed to it.
Matte Sanger, young girl, whose
parents reside in the fifth ward, was
vaccinated about two weeks ago and
has been confined to the house since.
Her body is covered with sores. This
has infamed the populace. The board
Of health meets next week, when the
question will be passed upon. 1t is be-
lieved that the board will not attempt
to enforce the order of the state board.
