The Demagog.e Pestilenee.
Manufacturers Record

From time to time the Manufae- turers Record has warned the South of the evils of demagogism. Some of our contemporaries have made personal matter of this failing to comprehend that true friend will endeayor to dissuade another from 8 fault. But there are others in the South of like mind. The Whining ton Messenger, commenting on tho situation in North Carolina frames an editorial containing so much truth that we reproduce it in part. Under the caption, 'Demagogues Building Fires to Consume, it. says:
 They seek to inhame the public mind and to stir up strife and ami mostly between neighbors. To con- summate their own selfish, greedy plans they are indifferent to public calamity and are ready for any plot or plan that will continue them in public office and give them person al following The pc litieal principles of demagogues can be shed as easily as clothing and the ments substituted may be of any color necessary to harmonize with new surroundings. They are polit- icaI aerobats at one time and polit- ical chameleons at another time. It is as absurd 10 call their self-seek, ling public policy and genuine prin- ciple as to call foul water pure or rottOn eggs sound.

The Syracuse IN. " board of health has
found it necessary to warn citizens against
the promiscuous and reckless use OF car
bolic acid as disinfectant or as cleans
ing wash for simple wounds. Even when
diluted the acid Is dangerous. Ca-bolic
acid taken internally is a rapidly fatal
poison Its use externally as a WASH, or
in an ointment, is perilous, unless kept
within judicious limits. Surgeons use the
dilute acid sometimes as a wash to kill
disease germs in wounds, but not as con-
slant application to heal wounds Instead
of healing a wound it retards healing if
of excessive strength, and produces local
gangrene. Even weak solution, If too
long applied. is said to produce gangrene.
1t may be added that the acid has lest
among the well-informed some of the repu-
tation 1t once had. There are various dis
infectants that are more efficient and less
dangerous.

Business in the Building Line Ex-
ceptionany Dull.
NUMEROUS new BLOCKS IN PROSPECT
Architects Preparing Plans foI
Structures in Contemplation.
ELECTRIC POWER HOUSE

Prominent real estate men of this city
say that while the past week has been ex-
ceptionaliy dull in real estate transactions,
scme Zig deals may be expected within the
ext few days.
In building circles there has been but lit
tie contracted for, and, although the archi-
tects generally are busy preparing plans
for structures in contemplation, builders
and those who furnish supplies say they
have scarcely ever before known business
to be SO quiet at this time of the year.
There are, however, evidences of re-
vival, among which are that many large
manufacturers of building materials have
received invitations to bid for the construc-
ton of numerous blocks of houses in vari-
Gus parts Of the city.
Up to yesterday only about thirty per-
mits Of all kinds had been issued this
month by the building Inspector and most
of these were fer repairing. while the ag-
gregate value reached only about $4,000.
Mr.. Michael Esch has contracted for the
erection of a two-story and cellar brick
store and dwelling at No. HOO 1st street
northeast The dimensions will be 20 by
AZ, front of pressed brick, with square hay
window, tin and slate roof, Latrobe heat,
square show windows, electric bells, speak
ing tubes, ETC., and all modern convent
ences. The cost will be about $1,000.
Bids for Power House.
The bidders have put in their estimates
for the erection Of the new superstructure
of the new power house of the United
States Electric Lighting Company, but none
of them will, ii is understood, receive the
contract because the figures are too high.
in the judgment of the directors Of the
company.
The several proposals were: r. H. Hood,
$1l4, 4SS; Richardson and Burgess, $1O9,.l5I;
Frank II. Duehay. 1921 ,O34; Henry F. Getz,
STA. 49I; Frank l.. Harvey, $113, 100.
1t rs understood that new plans will be
prepared and new bids called for.
Messrs. B. H. Warner & Co. state that
many inquiries are being made in reference
to the purchase of houses of the better
class by persons who intend to make Wash
ington their permanent home. Some sales
have already been made by the firm and
in this respect the trade this fall thus far
has been better than during the three
years past.
There is a marked disposition on the part
of many people who are now living in flats
to remove into separate houses, while some
who are now householders are removing
into flats. There are fewer desirable va
cant houses than for several seasons past
and the number Is gradually growing less
