ELECTRIC STROKE.

Heat


Heat
One Of the most extraordinary mod
ern diseases is . peculiar affection. mos,
aptly termed electric stroke, which moi
infrequently befalls workmen employed
in melting metals by means Of elec.
tricity. 1t appears frop observations
made at the great steel and iron works
at Cruzot says the Boston journal,
that the intense voltage arc between
the carbon and the metal to be melted
emits rays which. even at the distance
OF ten meters, produce a painful, hot
pricking sensation. like that of burn,
on such uncovered portions OF the body
as the throat, face, and more especially
the forehead.
The skin OF the parts affected be
comes either copper-colored or assumes
a bronze hue; the eyes, IN spite OF black
glasses, are 30 intensely dazzled as to
be useless for come minutes, after
which xanthopsia yellow vision> sets
in. everything appearing saffron-col-
ored. the conjunctive are infamed, and
there is . gritty feeling, as of sand IN
der the eyeiids. There is frequently
great pain. accompanied often by sleep
lessness, and in some instances fever.
After q few days those symptoms
subside and the skin of the affected
parts peels and the patient Is restored t<
health.
Now, the remarkable thing sbou. or
this is that very little heat is radiasee
from The electric arc used; al The
trouble arises from the Light rays, and
although it has not yet been expert
mentally proved, there can Be Etth
doubt that the blue and violet-tha4 In
the chemical-rays are TO blame.

Election Cnnards.

The canards claiming Bryan's lection
which have been issued within the last
twenty-four hours may have, as was per-
haps intended. enabled some gamblers to
hedge on their bets, but their certain effect
has been to arouse passion and to incite to
riot in Chicago and some other cities. The
issuance of these false reports cannot be
too vigorously condemned. If every state
in respect to which the slightest doubt now,
remains should go for Bryan, including
Kentucky and Wyoming. Mckinley would
still have safe majority in the electoral
college. During all the time that these ex-
citing bulletins have been inflaming voters
with the belief that their candidate had
been elected, but was being counted out, it
has been perfectly evident that the only
question remaining was the size of McKin-
ley's victory. No policy could be more mis-
chievous than that which seeks to keep the
country in ferment Of excitement, after
the election is over and its issues settled.
The republic wants mental rest and a
chance to go to work.
Evening star., 1896-11-05
The National NindicntiOn.

The farmers have not responded favor
ably to the proposition that they raise on
themselves the price OF silver which they
do not produce in order in some mysterious
fashion to raise the prices of what they
do produce.
The workingmen have not responded IA
vorably to the invitation to cut their wages
by law in order that they may have the
privilege of fighting with their employers
for restoration of their earnings to the
same purchasing power which they origi-
nally enjoyed.
American debtors, including the nation,
the aggregated taxpayers, have resisted
the temptation to go into fraudulent bank
ruptcy at fifty cents on the dollar, and to
sTindle to the extent of their ability the
men, women and children who have been
so trustful as to lend them money.
In all its prosperity America has steadily
recognized that the dominating influence
of a sensitive national conscience Is an es-
sential of true national greatness, and
that material advancement, which cuts
itself loose from moral progress, is ulti-
mately not a blessing, but curse. But
never in all its history has the republic re-
sponded more grandly to an appeal to the
national conscience, never has it more
thoroughly justified the capacity of the
common people for wise and righteous self
government. never has the government of.
by and for the people more completely vim
dicated it's right to live.

Some Local HODes,

Washington has recovered from the
fauSues of the campaign and is happy in
the serene consciousness that the grave
danger with which the Chicago platform
threatened this particular city has passed.
1t is felfishly glad that the country is not
TO be confronted with a congressional tur-
mol over free coiEage and other violent
propositions for it hopes that perhaps some
attention may be paid by the remnant of
the Fffty-fourth Congress still in power and
by its successor just elected to some of
the pressing needs of the District. 1t an
ticipates that perhaps in the fuIlness of
time there will be a municipal building
provided. Even a printing office may come
out of the Congressional gTab-bag and
there are visions now floating in the local
atmosphere of Eastern Branch flats i'm
provements that will reduce the death rate
AID encourage other water traffic than that
OF sand-scows. So jubilant, indeed is the
capital under all the circumstances that
the more optimistic of it's residents really
hope that provision may be made for an
additional water supply and for an extern
son of the streets and sewers. Many other
andcipatons are being entertained under
the influence of this newborn happiness.
May they be rot crushed, but developed to
fruition in the form of generous and nee
essary legislation.

The Fifty-Fifth Congress.

The republicans will control the next
House by a large majority. Many OF the
members will be new men, but much above
the average of new Legislators The issue
of the campaign called for strong nomina-
tions. and the call was generally responded
to by the sound money side. The number
of experienced members will be sufficiently
large to insure an effective organization
of the body, and, with Mr.. Reed again In
the chair, business ought to proceed and
doubtless Will proceed satisfactorily and
beneffcially for the country.
There Is much of Importance to be DONE
There will be many plans proposed. and
wide discussion indulged in. There may be
for a short while what Mr.. Reed has char
acterized as "a weary welter of talk. But
performances are demanded. and perform
anceS will be forthcoming. 1t is impossible
to conceive of a House elected on an issue
so momentous. and presided over by one OF
the most robust spirits of the age. failing
at such a time and In such circumstances
to meet the requirements of the occasion
Good work from any Congress demands
the presence of strong men in the House.
The most important legislation must origi-
nate in that body, and, while of course it
is all subject TO review by the Senate. the
better form it takes at the outset the better
form it is likely to wear at the close. A
strong House stands always for thorough
work, and for legislative fruits of lasting
value.
The figures seem to promise republican
control of the Senate also. Sound money
in any event will probably control, and If
the margin there should be little narrow
it may prove a good balance against the
wide margin in the House. Eminent men
have disputed about the comparative ad-
vantages and disadvantages of large and
small majorities. The famous John Ran
dolph held that the most desirable legisla-
tive majority was the majority of one. 1t
was calculated, he thought, to discourage,
If not indeed to interdct. all mere prank
ing, and to hold men down to an instruc
tive sense of their duty.
OF the questions to be presented to the
neAt Congress for action, and not merely
for maneuvering and discussion, may be
mentioned currency reform; additional
revenue for the support of the government: ::
foreign affairs, with reference to Hawaii
Cuba and possibly Venezuela, and reci-
procity conventions all around; the Mica
ragua canal, and the Pacific railroad in T..
debtedness to the government. These alone
will be sufficient to keep the body busy, and
in session for long time. An extra ses-
sion would seem to be not only likely but
altogether necessary.

Now for Cuba.

The opinion is widespread that General
Lees visit homo relates to the Cuban stu
ation- The time is at hand for the Presi-
dent to begin work on his annual message,
and both Congress and the country will
expect to hear definitely from him on that
subject. Two or three long conferences
With General Lee in the White House will
be very much more informing and salts
factory to him than would reams of official
reports received through the medium of
thu State Department.
There Is much speculation about what
view of the case General Lee Will be likely
to present to the President. No doubt has
ever existed about the real significance of
General Lees appointment. He was sent
to Cuba to survey and study the scene and
the issues as a trained soldier. Information
was important and was desired on that
line. He has had full time and opportunity
TO inform himself. and the President ought
to be the gamer by whatever General Lee
may bring back in the way Of weIl-digestsd
opinion.
Some fear was expressed here when Cen
eral Lee started for his post that the
prominence Of the mulattoes and full blacks
