Scarlet Fever

There is one case OF scarlet fever in
Woodstock, daughter of Mrs. Kate
shaffer, in the Shockey property, former
y the Welsh Hotel. The town authoritiel
have caused yellow flag to be boisted
at The house and have qnarantined those
residing in it. We occasionally have had
a sporadic case of scarlet fever IN the
town, which has not spread beyond a
single individual. With the precautions
which have been taken, we think there
is no danger whatever Of the disease
spreading.
The patient is now dsing well. DR..
Robertson, who had charge of the case.
has withdrawn, as he was apprehepsiye
that bis attendance OF scarlet fever ease
wonld interfere with his other practice.

A few days more and the glad Christ
mas season, the cOmmemorStion of the
birth of our blessed Savior that brought
salvation to Q diving, sin cursed world,
and proclaimed the glad tidings of "Peace
on earth, good will to man,, will be here.
To some it Will be but n time of drunk
en- revelry and sin, to others only the
days in which free rein should be given
to the appetite and all sensual enjoy
ments, but to many it will be a pure and
blessed season. The holy influences that
seem to steal over and tender the heart
with the grey twilight of Christmas eve
will cause them to gather the loved ones
of Their homes mere closely around them
and their hearts to grow more mellow
and kindly towards all the world, while
the suffering and needy ones OF Gods
creatures will. too, have cauae to be glad
and thankful.
These last are the Cnes to whom Christ
mas comes as blessing. They will come
from 1t with cleaner hearts and winter
souls. They will have laid up treasures
IN Heaven, for no good deed escapes the
eye of the Father, neither shall It 60 up
rewarded.

A MAXIMUM RATE OF WAGES.

Since most business men favor the request
of orgainzed labor that clause be inserted
in all District contra cts, stipuiating that
the maximem rate of wages be paid; also
that none but District workmen be en-
ployed, it would be well for the Board of
Trade to also add its influence 10 bring about
this result. II is well known that when
labor is Dberany paid business men are
sure to prosper, and as the Board Of Trade
isconposed of bu siness men such an nindorse-
ment would be TO their interests.
When the public can be made 10 under
stand that at least seyen-tenths of the resi-
dents OF cities and towns are wage-earners,
and that the prosperity of these places de-
pend upon the well-domg of wage-earners,
greater effort viii be made TO keep up
wages Most ofthe money inactive circula-
ton is kept in the hands of the public
through The wages OF working people When
work is plenty and wages high the volume
OF money in actual use is sufficient, but
when working people are idle and wages
low there must of necessity be hard times
and a scarcity Of money
A maximum rate OF wages and the employ
ment Of local workmen on District contracts
would make a considerable Improvement
in the trade of Washington, while the diff
ference in taxes would be so small that
no one would be injured

should no thought OF wrong doing on his part
enter into the minds of the people, but that
general sympathy should go out to him.
II was felt that the fault was not Mr..
Spoffords, but rather that of the system
under which he worked. And the per-
pstuation OF that system should be charged
10 the various library committees of Con-
gress.
The librarians accounts viii, OF course,
be Strengthened out in a way satisfactory
to the Treasury officials; but there will
be left a lesson that ought TO have its
effect on the next Congress
The keeping of books is one thing; book
keeping is another. Mr.. Spofford has super
lative qualifications for the former duty.
The latter ought to be in expert hands
also. Mr.. Spofford is not an auditor OF
an accountant His training and his
scholarship are in other directions.
The cost OF keeping the Congressional
Library is considerable. In addition there
are about 100000 copyrights granted
each year, for each one of which a fee is
charged
There should be a complete reorganiZa-
ton of methods in the library, keeping
Mr. Spofford in the office he has so Wen
and honorably filled, and placing the
accounts in charge of expert bookkeepers.
This Will be the duty of Congress.
Let Mr. Spofford keep the books and
let someone else do the bookkeeping.

As was predicted by The Times, several
owners and Jockeys at st. Asaph and Alex
ander Island have applied for reinstate-
ment into the good graces and licenses OF
the Jockey Club. 1t is understood that their
applications were under consideration yes
terday and that they will be favorably acted
upon. This viii undoubtedly weaken the
outlaw tracks, but it is believed in New
York that it will have the effect OF strength
ening the tracks in that state. The New
York Evening Telegram says that there
are a dozen or more jockeys now at Wash
ington who can ride rings round the boys
now at Brighton" Ii is believed further
that their detection will some day result in
good honest racing at Benning under Jockey
Club rules.

RAwHIDE GUNS.

Rawhide has not infrequently been used
as an article of warfare, but when SO en-
ployed if was itself the active factor, being
generally propelled by the muscle power
of some irate Individual. Now, however,
il appears in a new role, for recent expert
ments with a new invention at the Sandy
Hook proving grounds have shown that
ii can he made INTO cannon, give steel
odds and beat ii all TO pieces.
Everybody knows that rawhde is tough.
1t has been known 10 be applied to the
hardest kind OF backs, and though the
back might give way, the rawhide would
come up, or down, as the case might be,
smiling every time. II has tensile strength,
endurance, and, as the Sandy Hook ex-
periments showed, never gets hot, which
rs more than can be said of The fellow that
gets taste of it.
Seriously, howeveE, the rawhide cannon
looks as if il might revolIuonize the whole
subject Of artillery. 1t has so far upset all
the calculations and expectations of the
ordnance experts. They were sure it would
burst AT the first discharge, but it did not,
and the more powder and shot they piled
INTO and fired from it the better il be-
haved, until at last pressure Of 30,36O to
the square inch was developed The gun
carriage broke, but the gun itself was not
affected.
Aud thus it may come to pass ere long
that corner viii be gotten up in the hides
OF the cattle that range upon a thousand
hills aud likewise on the hills, TO make
cannon with which TO fight foes on land and
sea

LET THIS RE TIE LAST

The Beam tragedy has been brutal and
heart -sickening from the outset. The
murder was the act Of a fiend; the trial and
imprisonment Of the murderer a chapter
OF horrible and shocking details; his hang
ing an unwarranted and mistaken act OF
Tetrlbution, and the exhibition OF his body
at the undertaker's disgusting, revolt
ing example OF thoughtlessness that should
never be repeated.
1t would seem that capital punishment
IN the District possesses more fnhumanity
and less regard for public decency than
characterizes such dictates or the law In
other localities. People are freely admitted
60 see the person. leg ally murdered, and when
the deed is done the body OF the victim is
laid in state where # may be viewed and
used as an object lesson To cultivate NOR
bid, dangerous thoughts.
II people are TO be killed by law it should
be done with as little publicity as possible.
