The hygienio influence of wood paw ing has been the subject of recent in vestigation by NM. Rodet and Nicho- las who have recorded the result of their experiments in the Lyons Medical. By thoroughly pulverizing the frag- ments of pavement submitted to exam ination, they have been able to demon- strate the presence of considerably larger number of microbes than had been shown to exist by earlier investi- gators. In effect they proved that the number of microbic clements in the su- perficial layers of the pavement, after the surface had been washed with wa ter, amounted in one instance to 50O00,- 900, and in another to 79,3 900 per gramme, and at a depth of six centi- metres in the other case to 423,600 per gramme. Only 8 small proportion, how ever, of these microbes were Hquefying organisms, and in no case did emulsions prepared from them cause any general infection when injected into guinea pigs. The point on which they chiefly insist is that the microbic infection of wood pavement is not a mere surface affair which can be washed off, The micro organisms extend into the sub- stance of the wood to a depth of at least two inches In considerable num- bers, and exist in enormous multitudes within the superficial layers.

President Kruger has been invested with extraordinary power over the press and over aliens by two new laws passed by the South African legislature. They read: 'The State president has at all times the right (with the ad- vice and consent of the executive coun- ciD to prohibit entirely or temporarily the circulation of publications the con tents of which are, in his opinion, con- trary to good morals or dangerous to the peace and order of the republic" And "All aliens melting to disturbance or transgression of the law by word of mouth. in writing, or by public means, by which public peace and order is or can be endangered, may be expelled by order of the president"

London cabmen are rejoicing because one of their number has obtained ma gisterial support for his contention that bicycles are not luggage, and that, therefore, he can exact what terms he chooses, or, rather can, for transport ing them. The cabman in question was sued for the return of an extra two pence which he had forced a patron with a disabled wheel to pay, and he convinced the judge that a bicycle had no right to free transportation by ar guing that "the machine has, so to speak, two wings and a body"

Charles Hall Adams, United States consult general in Liberia now in this country on visit, says that Liberia is fairly prosperous, and that indus trious and intelligent people are able to make a good living in the country. The principal industry is the raising of coffee and palm oil, and a number of American negroes own good plantations and enjoy incomes of as much as $5,0OO a year. All the necessaries of life can be raised with little trouble. The houses are built of lumber, most of which is imported. Most of the con- merce is with England, there being no direct trade with this country.

by the introduction or liberation
Of slavery. degraded labor and
discouraged industrial progress,
the discovery Of mines and the
production Of the precious metals
nearly ceased; while the luxurious
tastes and habits of the wealthy
impelled a continual importation
Of silks, spices, etc, from India
and China, which took little but
gold and silver in return. The
circulating medium Of exchanges
and payments being thus insensi-
bly, drawn away and not replaced,
the Roman Empire languished
under a growing derth OF money
and steady decline Of prices.
As fixed property constantly de-
preciated in value, those who
bought on credit were too often
unable to pay at maturity and so
sank into HOPELESS insolvency.
Hence, labor lacked employment,
since few chose to plant, or build
or improve, when the resulting
property would be worth less than
its cost. Population, wealth, pros
perity, all declined and dwindled
under the combined influence of
labor in shackles and enterprise
and business devoid Of money
wherewith to employ and pay that
which was still free. And, though
the silent progress of Christianity,
the fruits of successive irruptions
and conquests by barbarians and
the pressure of general poverty
and wretchedness, combined to
wear out slavery, scarcity of
money still weighed upon the en-
ergies Of Europe, down to the
close of the Fifteenth Century.
The discovery Of America by
Columbus, and the consequent
rapid and vast increase Of money
wrought great and sudden revo-
luton Prices appreciated: those
who bought, or built, or in any
manner improved, were almost al
ways able to sell at an advance
upon cost. Labor was no longer
a drug upon the market, but in
eager demand at prices beyond
precedent, yet steadily augment
ed. The energies of the civilized
world received an unwonted slim
illus, and wealth was increased
and comfort diffused as they never
before had been.

SLAreHTEP HOESES.

We are informed that a short
distance from town out on the
Sulphur Springs road there is
slaughter house, the refuse from
which runs dangerously near the
city, and that the noxious odors
arising therefrom are very often
sive to travellers on that road,
which leads to Pine Bluffs popu
liar summer resort-Sulphur
Springs.
There is also pending in the
City Council a resolution author
izing the construction of a slaugh-
ter house within the city limits.
There is already a city ordinance
prohibiting the erection of slaugh-
ter houses within the corporate
limits, and this ordinance should
not be permitted to be violated.
The health of community and
a wholesome sanitary condition
should be the chief concern of our
city fathers. Slaughter houses
are disease-breeders and destruc-
tive to health and happiness.
Therefore they should net be Al Il +
lowed in any populous communi-
ty, much less within the corpo-
rate limits of an incorporated city.
The City Council will act in utter
disregard of the laws of health
and the welfare of this communi-
ty should the permission asked
be granted. The City Council
should endeavor TO improve the
public health, rot destroy it.
The officers should also see to
it that no slaughter houses are
erected within smelling distance
Of any public and much-traveled
thoroughfare, and should there
be any, the nuisance should be
abated.

THE QUESTION OF INTEREST
Showing How tha Credit System Impover-
ishes the Masses.


ishes the Masses.
1t is claimed that from 90 to 81 per
cent of the business done in this country
is done on credit We find that nearly
all business men are borrowers. A is a
farmer and has to borrow money TO
carry on his business He goes to his
banker, boTToWs money at 6 per cent,
adds cents to every dollars worth Of
wool, for instance, that he raises; sells
TO B, manufacturer. who is also bor-
rover. b adds cents and sells to @.
jobber, who adds his cents and sells
to d, wholesaler, who adds his cents
and sells to Z, the retailer, and e, being
a borrower, adds his per cent interest.
We find that in going the rounds from
producer to consumer there has to be
paid 40 cents interest on every dollar.
You buy suit of clothes from the re-
taller for $40. You pay s. interest,
whether you are aware Of 1t or not, and
this interest money goes into the hands
of class of people who do not add one
dollar to the wealth of the country. In
terest is like lot of bloodsuckers on a
healthy child. It cannot maintain itself
and supply the ravenous appetites Of the
bloodsuckers The amount the indus
tries Of the country are taxed annually
to pay interest is appalling. If we take
the total Indebtedness IN this country,
which amounts to at least $40, 900, 000.-
600, and average the rate of interest at
Z per cent, we find the resources Of the
c0untry are taxed 81. 500, 900, 900 annu-
ally, which is 81, 200, 600, 900 more than
there is in the United States. When We
stop to realize that the function of
money is simply medium Of exchange
TO facilitate the exchange of the products
of labor, the great injustice of varying
rates Of interest Is apparent For in
stance, a man doing business in New
York borrows money at 6 per cent, and
one borrowing in another state pays 10
per cent The interest ON 81, 900 for so
years at 6 per cent compounded amounts
to$18, 900, while loaned the same way for
the same time at 10 per cent it amounts
to $117, 900, difference Of 500, 900 in
favor Of the man borrowing at per
cent. -Railroad Photographer.
