THE action Of the Boards of

THE action of the Boards of
Health in New York and PhiIadcl-
phia in declaring that consumption
is an infectious and communicable
disease and that it should come
within the restrictions and health
rules usually employed in cases Of
diphthcria. scarlet fever Or other
infectious diseases. is commendabic
so far as it goes. In view of the
fact that consumption is a disease
which is slow in its progress and
that years must often pass before a
person afflicted with it reaches a
stage where he can be controlled in
his daily movements, and prevent
his coming in contact with those to
whom he might communicate the
disease. we do not see how the
health boards are going to proceed.
lney cannot take man aIiIlctcu
with the dread disease, but who
may yet follow his daily avocation
for years, and upon whose efforts
wife and children may be depend
ent, and place him within rcstric
tions that will destroy his useful
ness and throw those dependent
upon him on charity. What the
boards can do, and that is about all.
is to impress upon the patient the
necessity of sanitary measures on
his part which will tend to make
him less liable to communicate the
disease to others.

Il BILL has been introduced ir
tho General Assembly to abolish
the grand jury system in Ms
soulj, aud the proposition is con
sidorefi a very important one by
the legal fraternity. Many OF our
leading criminal lawyers regard
the grand jury system as antiquat-
cd and one entailing great amount
Of needless expense to the taxpay-
ers. In case the bill becomes law
all criminal cases will he prosecuted

First of all, the big Democratic

way to reach that desired consum-

way to do it is to wipe out lot of

The Philosophy of Prosperity.

In his recent Boston address.
Hon. Hourkc Cochran pointed out
the general principles that govern
the matter OF prosperity. There
are certain fundamental rules and
essential obligations that must he

no success in the true meaning Of
the word. /, is necessary. in the
first place. to discard the erroneous
and perniciou> idea the basis Of
Populism that the ooycrnmcnt
can make prosperity by philan-
thropic lcgislatian. and ill mems
pockets with money in some mir
acuIous fashion. Tic most thai
the government can do is TO keep
general conditions in good order,
TO provide equal opportunities for
all Glasses. to pursue Il friendly
course towards business and indus
trial interests Of every sort. Til;
means that it can maintain sound
currency system. establish a just
and fair tariff policy, and so shape
Its laws as to encourage the enter
prises that give employment to la
Dor and develop the resources of
the country. But it can not fur
nish the diligence. the energy. the
courage and the perseverance that
are Indispensable to the materia!
triumph Of progress. 1t cannot
produce the commodities which
represent prosperity and increase
the sum Of national wealth and the
prevailing measure Of popular com
fort and happiness. If it could do
all these things. the millennium
would come tomorrow. and life ia
the United States would be per
perpetual picnic.
Those who expect the hard times
to disappear in a sudden way and
through some mysterious and ben
eticent process Of sorccry will be
disappointed: but they will not
have any reasonable cause Of CON-
plant. The promised prosperity.
as Mr.. Cochran says, is in the
course of creation. There are
hopeful signs in all directions. The
situation Is gradually growing bel
ter. and the gains are substantial
and permanent. 1t is not to be eX-
pected that Il few weeks or months
will suffice to restore depressed in
dustries to their former condition
Of healthy and profitable activity,
to swell. the volume of investment
70 the proportions of previous pc
riods, and to put every idle laborer
in the way Of earning steady and
satisfactory wages. These desira-
bic results are al! to be confidently
looked for in the course of events.
but common sense suggests that
they are not to be Immediately an
ticipated. The sources of misfor-
tune will have to be removed orc
at time, ard this implies duty
of patience. Of cllccrfulness. and of
mutual he!pfnlness. All that the
! government can do will be done As
soon As the Republican party as
sunlcs control Of it. and the people
will do the resi-, according 10 those

fervor, finally succumbed, and flew off
with heavy haste to the pine forest on
the mountain side. The French man

The Rise of Luxury,

AS far back as the seventh century the
venerable Bede wrote: '"The women
now are so luxurious that they do have
the chairs with wooden circles on the
legs" meaning rocking chairs. Wonder
what he would say if he could see the
luxurious coaches ON the Saint Paul &
Duluth railroad? The Duluth Short
Line, as this road is popularity krown,
always runs the latest equipment to and
between st. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth,
West Superior, Saltwater, Taylor's Falls
and other important points, and gives
it's patrons a luxurious ride. For that
reason it is public favorite and appre-
cIated. Always take the Duluth Short
Line and be with the crowd. Ticket
agents are always gla1 to furnish maps,
folders, circulars and general informa-
ton, or they may be obtained by writing
