1t seems that the Hon. Charles Nor
ton was ambitious to add to his other ac-
complishments that of watch dog of the
treasury. But he appears not to have been
altogether discreet in selecting people to
bark at Even a watchdog of the treas
ury mustn't bark at everybody. 1t will
do well enough to bark at the laborers
and scrub women about the departments,
and there is not much danger under this
administration in giving prolonged
howl at the pensioners. but when Secre-
tary of the Navy Herbert comes along
and wants a $500 carriage to ride in the
watch dog must be silent. Uncle Hol-
man of Indiana, who for so many years
snarled at the people who were after ap-
propriations knew the value of discre-
ton. He always made certain that the
people he snarled at did not come from
his own district. When his constituents
came along and thrust their hands into
the pork barrel he always wagged his tail
good naturedly. Possibly Brother Nor
ton could have remained as long in off
cial life as Brother Holman if he had
been endowed with the same discretion.

Commissioner Waring of New York,
suggests that women and boys, as well as
men should be employed in cleaning the
plenty of foreign women in the city who

Republicans are small and of little po-
litical influence. Quite the reverse is
true of the Democracy. The South, with
out which the Democratic party has no
hope of success whatever, is thoroughly
saturated with the free coinage sentiment.
The States where free silver Democrats
most abound are politically the most
influential Democratic States They are
States the loss of which would be abso-
lutely fatal to Democratic success

There are doubtless differences of opin-
ion among the Republicans in regard to
silver, there are free silver Republicans
and there are Republicans who favor
nothing but gold monometalism. But
the division in the party on this question
is nothing like SO serious as in the Demo
cratic. No Republican convention this
year has declared for the free coinage of
silver at the 16 to l ratio, and no Repub-
lican body has declared that it will
support no Republican candidate who is
not friendly to free coinage Even in Col
orado, where the silver sentiment is strong
er perhaps than in any other State, the
Republican league club convention voted
down resolution TO that effect. There
is very little danger of split in the Re-
publican ranks on the currency question,

silver sentiment to be found among the

and Heat Stroke-Some Wise Precau-
tions.
Here are the rules issued by the Phil
adelphia Board of Health for preventing
and treating sunstroke:
Sunstroke is condition caused by ex-
posure to excessive heat Two forms are
recognized-heat exhaustion and heat
stroke.
Heat haustion-Prolonged exposure
to high temperature, particularly when
combined with physical exertion, is liable
to be followed by great prostration, col
lapse, restlessness, and, in severe cases,
by deliriun. Unlike stroke, the surface
of the body is usually cool, the pulse
small and rapid and the temperature be-
low normal-as low as 95 degrees or 96 de-
grees. 1t is not necessary that the person
shall have been exposed to the direct rays
of the sun, as the condition may come on
when working in close, confined rooms
during midsummer and when exposed to
great artificial heat as in laundries,
foundries, bake shops and engine rooms.
Sunstroke or heatstroke-This is chiefly
confined to persons working very hard
while exposed to the sun. 1t is common
in our large cities, but is not unknown
in the country. Those habituated to the
use of beer and whisky and the debilitated
are especially predisposed to attacks.

SYMPTOMS.

The attack may be sudden, and the
! an hour with symptoms of heart failure,
difficult breathing and loss of conscious
ness The usual form comes on during
exposure, with pain in the head, dizziness,
feeling of weakness and sometimes
nausea and vomiting The loss of con-
sciousness may be only transient or it
may be complete. The face is flushed
the skin pungent, the pulse rapid and
full and the temperature very high, from
107 degrees to ITO degrees The breathing
is labored and deep, sometimes loud It
is important to note that in heat-exhaus-
tion the skin is moist, pale and COOL the
breathing easy, though hurried; the pulse
small and soft, and the senses entire
while in heatstroke there is usually in
sensiiblity and great heat of skin.
PRECAUTIONS.
Dark close-fitting and heavy clothing
and such as congresses the chest and

the matter to arbitration and an award
of 500. 600 was made. The harvester peo-
pIe accepted this, but before 1t was pad
matters were brought to the attention OF
the insurance companies that caused them
TO refuse to pay any such sum. Suit was
then brought on the award. The case has
been TO the Supreme Court and this was
the second trial and the second decision IN
favor of the plaintiff. The Insurance
companies alleged that fraud had been
committed and that the burned property
though insured for S12I 900 was worth
scarcely anything.
