RED TAPE AsSURDITlES.
Instances in Which 1t Has Brought Ridi'
Guile on the British Service.


Official red tape is nowhere more con-
spicuous than in the British war office,
and this has led to many jokes being
cracked about the high and mighty au-
thorities who control the movements
and actions of Tommy Atkins" A
writer in London Truth tells story of
an officer who, being moved from one
station to another, sent in bill in which
was an item for porter" The item,
after having exercised the intellects
and received the Endorsements of five
successive officials at the war Office, was
not allowed on the ground that ''por-
ter" could only be allowed if taken un.
der medical advice. The officer re.
specially informed his superiors that
the porter" charged for was not drink,
but the individual who had carried his
baggage. The reply was that this
should have been entered as porter.
age" whereupon the officer ventured
to inquire whether if he took cab this
should be put down as cabbage" The
sequel to the story is no less interest
ing. The official to whom the cabbage
joke was addressed was so incensed
at this outrage on his dignity that he
preferred formal complaint against
the jester for his misplaced hippancy.
The usual amount of red tape having
been spun, the offending officer was
summoned to London from a very dis
tsnt station to receive a wigging. He
appeared before the then adjutant gen.
eral, but that functionary spoiled his
rebuke by bursting out laughing as
soon as he approached the subject, and
ended up by asking the culprit to lunch.
Having returned to his station, the Off
GER next proceeded to send in his bill
for the expenses of his journey to and
from London to receive his wigging.
It is paid this time without murmur.

BAD FOOD AND TREATMENT.

For years the gradual disappearance
of the American sailor and the substi-
tuition for him on American vessels.
both naval and mercantile, and in both
cabin and forecastle, so far as the lat
ter is concerned, Of foreigners inferior
to him in every way have been sorrow
fully noted by every writer who has
had any knowledge of the subject. In
days not very long ago, says the New
York Times, to follow the sea" was a
profession that promised and gave
profit as well as honor, and young men
of good family and fair education en-
tered it in large numbers. On many a
ship eight out of ten of the crew could
take an observation in case of need,
and every one of them hoped some day
to command vessel of his own. 1t is
the survivors of that period who are
now in charge of the comparatively in
significant squadron that is left to
represent numberless feet. When
these are dead, there will be none to
take their places, and American ship
owners are already wondering where
their new mates and captains are to
come from. The same problem is be-
ginning to confront the English own
ers, SO manifestly it must be something
else than their competition with us
the explanation usually given-tha,
has driven men of intelligence and am
bition out of the American merchant
marine. Bad food and cruel treat
ment have had not little to do with
the matter in both cases.

Disease.
The origin of specific fevers is fire.
quently q mystery, II appears that
those vast emporia, dubbed magasins
de nouveautes, which enjoy an ever
increasing popularity, may constitute
dangerous foci of zymotie infection,
and that the source of this may be
traced to the far east. There are, in
fact, says the London Lancet, good
grounds for suspicion against the pic
turesquely gaudy carpets manufactured
by the natives which are nowadays so
extensively purchased. Could the buy
ers visit the unventilated dens in which
the articles are woven by individuals
whose notions of hygiene are of the
crudest, they would hesitate before adj
hitting them into their houses. un-
derstand that several outbreaks of
fever traced to this cause in Paris hav-
ing been recently reported TO the
conseil d'hygiene, that body intends in
future TO take measures at the frontier
calculated to counterfeit this danger. l
may mention in this connection the in
structive results reported in a recent
thesis of the archaeological examina-
ton by DR.. Trouskoliawski of ward lit
erature, such as books lent to patients,
report sheets, admission cards, certifi-
Gates, etc. He discovered on forty-six
sheets an average of forty-three mi
crobes per square centimeter. The mi
cro-organisms detected comprised spec
linens of Koch's tuberculosis bacillus,
the streptococcus, and the pyocyaneus.
He further proved that on dry and pre-
viously sterilized paper the virulence
of the cholera bacillus was maintained
from period varying from five to four
teen days, and that the corresponding
periods for the typhoid (Eberth's)
bacillus, the diphtheria bacillus, and
the streptococcus were sixty-three,

BAD FOR SAN ANTONIO.

Nothing that has occurred in
this city in a year will do 1t so
much damage and so mislead pub
lie opinion abroad as this most I'M
wise and unnecessary controversy
over the character of the Confeder-
ate soldiery. All the reams OF
paper consumed in this senseless
task will only avail to create an
impression in northern circles that
the war is not over in San Antonio.
Nothing could be more unfortu-
nate than this, and it will be
months before this impression will
be done away. Must thirty years
of peaceful intercourse be negatived
because Of the Incorporate utter
snces OF one man? Is Southern
valor and virtue so disputed a
thing that 1t is necessary to rush
to its defence in this public way
whenever irresponsible prejudice
in an evil moment expresses itself?
The LIGHT does not believe that it
is and deprecates this controversy
on account of the Misrepresentation
that it will create abroad. There
is no city in the south in which
public opinion is so free as 1t is in
San Antonio, this is her reputation
in all circles where she is known.
and it is Of no light weight in de-
termining matters Of location and
investment. The conservatism of
her mind and the liberty Of action
that she accords her citizens have
been frequent theme of favorable
comment by strangers, and it is
much to be regretted that such a
controversy as this present one
should have arisen. The position
of the LIGHT as strong, unswerv-
ing Republican journal cannot be
questioned, and this is the reason
above all others that it speaks so
strongly in depreciation Of this con-
troversy. 1t is useless. No man
can insult the record Of the south,
for it exists Independently of all
that it is in the power Of it its enc
mics to advance. That record is in
deeds that are imperishable and
does not require personal defense
at this late day. This controversy
Is deprecated, because it arouses
passion, tends to reopen old sores,
tends to social and industrial dis
cord and leads to the impression
away from home that there is war
between the old legions Of the
''Blue" and the "Gray" when moth
ing could be farther from the truth.
This is a personal matter, purely
so, arising out OF a personal ut
that has not one apologist
In this city, and that utterance has
been fully and explicitly denied.
1t is raising the mountain against
the mole to carry the matter into
the public prints and assem- lies
and spread 1t broadcast over the
The offence was a per-
sonal one and should have had a
