The heads of the nation are mani
Testing an unusual interest in such
changes in governmental institutions
as will really benefit the great mass
of the citizens. 1t is the common ev-
cry day people for whom the best
brains and offices of those in authority
should be enlisted. The most fruitful
labors of the government will be IN
this direction. Among the institutions
that must be created ere long is that
of the postal savings bauR. The in
teelligence of the country has long
desired This and long agitated it and
is now beginning to demand it. The
leading papers among the journals of
the nation are advocating it, so that
in the nature of affairs it is not pos
sible much longer 10 keep the ques-
ton out of Congress. No change that
could be instituted could more benefit
the people, that is none that is really
within the province and scope Of the
general government to establish. The
Light has so frequently called atyen-
ton to the benefits that would follow
the general establishment of POSTAL
savings banks that it only alludcs 10
1t now to remark that the interest in
the subject deepens and that the
probabilities increase for some action.

London capital is the most gullible
in the world. From the time that the
South Sea scheme was sprung on a
confiding public though all the in
flated schemes in the Australias and
South Africa and in the South and
Central Americas there has bee
rothing that the London capitalist
would not bite at, provided the hook
was properly baited. No loss or ex-
posture Of fraud serves in any way to
diminish the probabilities of the next
attempt succeeding. Fresh on the
heels of the gigantic frauds of Barney
Barnatto the monied men of Great
Britain have put SIS 100000 into Klon-
dixie mining schemes Of one sort or
another.

Plat has downed Worth as the lead
er of the Brooklyn Republicans, but
he has not dOwned Low as their cam
didate. 1t was wormwOOd and gall TO
the great boss" to find that Instead
of capturing the central fort of lie
enemy he had taken an insignificant
outpost. The Kings county delegates
stand by Low, and the motion to stand
by him if he proves a unifying force
which the Plat people introduced
went by the board. The resolution 10
stand by Low without any ifs, or ands
or butts went right through. Lieut..
Gov, WoOdford, who is engineering the
fight for Platt found that he could
command only one vote against Low
in his own precinct, and he will lose
his head himself unless he supports
the chancellor. The Worth men feel
compensated for his defeat by the
endorsement of Hon. Seth Low.

DIsINFEcTIoN INSTRUCTIONS.
Partially Based on Those of The n.
Y. Board of Healthy

Distinction is the destruction of the
poisons of infectious and contagious
diseases.
DeOdorizers or substances which de-
stroy odors, are not necessarily disin-
fectants, and disinfectants do not nee
essarily have an odor.
Disinfection cannot compensate for
want of cleanliness, nor of ventilation.
Disinfectants to be employed for
rooms, furniture, clothing, dressings,
Fumigation AZ with sulphur
Heavy Clothing, blankets, bedding, to
be so treated, should be freely expos
ed and the room air-tightly closed.
The sulphur is poured upon iron pans
supported on bricks, placed in q water
tub containing little water. The
sulphur is then ignited by hot Goals or
by the aid of a spoonful of alcohol.
The room should remain closed for
"a hours. For room ten feet square
at least two pounds Of sulphur should
be used. Larger rooms in proportion.
OBJ With Fomaldehyde gas, sui
phur having not fully salts
fed investigation as to it's power of
destroying germs, lately formaldehyde
or formaline gas has been considered
the ideal disinfectant for rooms and
all kinds of furniture and fabrics.
1t does not destroy the color or the
texture and has the great advantage
of permeating textile fabrics to a con-
siderable depth. A special lamp is re-
quired for it's generation, which, ac-
cOrding to make and size, ranges in
price from So to $50 an over, and re-
quires from 80 to 80 cents worth of
chemicals for each time it is used.
The lamp must be charged and light
ed after the room has been air-tightly
closed and all materials to be exposed
to it from three to five hours. The
health Office will give the names of
some of the manufacturers upon re-
quest. This kind of disinfectiOn is the
most satisfactory and recommendable
according to the present condition of
our knowledge.
2. For cellars, yards, stables, gut
tiers, privies, cess pools, water closets,
drains, sewers, etc., liberal treat
ment of copperas solution, frequently
applied is recommended. 1t is easily
prepared by hanging a basket contain
ing about 60 pounds of copperas in a
barrel of water.
A good mixture of pounds of cop
peras and 3 ounces of carbolic acid TO
gallon of water, to be used for the
same purposes.
A still stronger disinfectant is cor
rosive sublimate, two drachms to
gallon of water.
Twenty parts of quicklime mixed
with two parts of fresh dry
charcoal (catXpowder) sprinkled in
cellars, cess pools, ETC., absorbs putrid
gases.
3. Cotton, linen, flannels, blankets
etc-if not treated by formaldehyde
gas-which, however, is the best
should be boiled in zinc solution for
at least half an hour For this pur-
pose take of sulphate of zinc or chic
ride of zinc, (the former is the
cheapest, the latter the more efficiently
in the proportion of 1 to SIG of
water.
Carbolic acid, ounces to gallon
of water, may be used for the same
purpose.

The New Jersey clergy are preach
ing against the sins of those who
seldom enter a church door. a surer
measure of reform would be to
preach against the church sinners
and trust to their reformed lives to
reform the world. So long as the eld-
ers and deacons gamble in wheat
and corn and cotton is it honest to
preach against those who use cards?

The governor of Indiana is going to
find out who led the mob that iuvad-
ed the Versailles Jail and hung those
five burglars, and when he does find
out he proposes to make an example
of them. The time to do any lynch
ing that is absolutely necessary is be-
fore the parties are in Jail, In this
case the lynching was undoubtedly
more in revenge for acts committed
against persons than in the interests
of the community, and not justified.

while smoking opium in All Hao's
joint on Nuuanu avenue, Wednesday
night, and was fined $50 and costs in
