A LESSON IN JOURNALISM.

From the New York Journal.
 A communication signed by MT. Arthur McEwen on the subject of the expediency of renominating Mr. Bryan for the presi- dency in 1900 has been taken by a swarm of correspondents and newspapers as in dicating the position of the Journal on this interesting subject. The Chicago Times Herald, for instance, quotes MT. McEwens expressions at considerable length, and as- serts that "they represent the editorial views of the only influential newspaper in the east which advocated the election of William J. Bryan and indorsed the Chicago platform, upon which he stood"
 The Journal is gratified to have such an excellent opportunity of impressing upon the laity, for whom such instruction might be expected to be necessary, as well as up- on it's newspaper contemporaries, who ought not to need it, a valuable bit of in formation, to-wit: That the opinions of the Journal on political or any other topics are to be found only in it's editorial col umns. As far as space Will permit the Journal endeavors to be hospitable to the private ideas both of members of it's staff and of outsiders. It has repeatedly printed signed articles by MT. Willis J. Abbot, MT. James Creelman, Mir Arthur McEwen, MT Alfred Henry Lewis, ex-Senator John J. lngallS, A deHtleHdH, Nioiy iNhiNhDi hooker. Allan Dale" and innumerable other writers in and out of it's office. Many of these communications have been radical- ly opposed to the policy of the paper. The fact that an article. whether by an edi- torial writer or anybody else, is signed and appears outside of the editorial columns, is conclusive proof that it represents the private opinions of the author and not the views of the Journal.
 As to the position of the Journal on the v,1of fnr ic i'm plicity itself. The Journal supported Mr. Bryan in 1896 because he was the regular nominee of the democratic national con- vention. It will support him in 1900 or any body else who may occupy the same posi- ton. It supported MT. Van Wyck last year for similar reasons. The Journal is not and never was either a Bryan paper or a Van Wyck paper. It is democratic paper.

No wonder the police department is miss ing the burglars with their two-horse wa gons. The time is spent in spelling con tests. The phonetic method is being adopt ed and the head of the class in writing the name of Tennessee's metropolis strikes the short rows first and has it 'Memfis.'' If those who live in Memphis ever catch up with the man who so butchers the lan- guage in the spelling of that enterprising city there will be hot times somewhere. The spelling reform is badly needed as well as other kinds. And all this within a stones throw of the finest school house in out superiors.

epidemic in Chattanooga, 7i5 feet above the sea.
 In discussing the causes of the disease, Gen. Sternberg shows that filth has much to do with it. Practically 1t is disease of filthy cities and towns. Its origin is un- uously existed in foul Havana ever since 164s. It is always there. In this country it is an exotic. attracted by filth. The nat ural conditions even in the Gulf cities, are not favorable for It's continued develop ment Suitable quarantine regulations, says Dr. sternberg, should be adopted in order to keep the germs from the shore, and then as further precaution, there should be nothing on shore that will give a stray germ chance to thrive and null tiply. In other words. there should be no filth in the warmer cities and towns of the country.
 All practical scientific knowledge sus- tains pr. sternberg in his view of the dis ease; and there can be no excuse on the ground of ignorance hereafter. New Or leans and Mobile and Ocean Springs and Biloxi, and all other Gulf towns, can be- come immune in only one way-cleanliness. Cleanliness in the streets, in rear prem ises, everywhere within the city's limits. Sewers and the water supply need early and constant attention, but cellars, sta- bles, water closets and the like should be carefully watched. If a high degree of cleanliness could be secured, it Is indeed doubtful whether any quarantine regula- tions would be needed. But such degree of cleanliness is unattainable, and so it becomes important to keep, so far as is possible, the germs of the disease out of the Gulf towns.

Yellow Fever.

Gen. George M. Sternberg, surgeon-gen- eral of the army, recently read before a scientific society in Washington a paper upon the history and geographical distribu- tion of yellow fever. Gen. Sternberg is a man of high standing. not merely in the army, but in his profession and in the scj- entifc world, and he has studied the dis ease in Havana, its all-the-year habitat.
 While it is essentially disease of the warmer climates, and clings as a rule to coast cities, yet said Dr. Sternberg, alti- tude is rot always a preventive of the dis- ease. It has prevailed at an elevation of 2,OOD feet. In this country 1t once become

nRuGGISTs OF OLD.

For a long time religious incantations formed the only method of treating dis@ ease. Litanies were chanted while reme- dies were applied. In Egypt pharmacy was practiced at an early date. One branch of the priesthood of Isis was pros ficient in the art, and to them the prescrip- tions of the physician-priests were sent to be filled. The doctor was always ac- companied in his visits by the charters of songs, and they were thought to have more power than the man of medicine.
 Legends show that among the earliep races the art of healing was considered a prerogative of the gods. Hospitals were built in honor of Hygeia, and. though drugs were administered the cure of a pa- tient was always regarded as direct in- tervention of the goddess.
 The Hebrews were far advanced in the art of the apothecary, and so were the early Chinese Chinf Nong, contempor- ary of Menes I. of Egypt is said to have been a proficient pharmacist. The Chln< csc antedated the modern drug store by five centuries.
 Four hudred years before Christ it began to be fashionable in Greece and Rome for one man to combine the offices of physician and apothecary. One hundred and eighty-s seven years before the Christian era an epidemic ragged in Rome and apothecarieS were introduced from Greece. One of them was fond of using the knife and combined surgery with drugs to such an extent that he had to flee the city to escape the indigA nant Romans.
 The Arabs, who early began to study drugs, soon led the profession. Pharmacy owes its greatest impetus to them, and it is said Mahomet himself had no mean skill in the science. No record of a drug store in Germany appears prior to 126. In the fourteenth century grocers and apothecarA ies were legally the same in England. During the seventeenth century the phram- acist came to America and modified his English ideas by what he learned from the Indians in regard to the art of healing.

THE .RUSKIN-MILLAI CODE.

From the New York Press.
 A new society is to be organized in this city and Chicago by some of the more prominent married folk. The excuse for it's existence is found in the romance of John RuslSin, who, perceiving that his wife loved Millais, gladly gave her to the paint CT. We have read much of this lately. Now comes Baldazzi, who gives his wife, Giulia, to one Spoto. We know a great many men who would like to give. their wives away, and predict that the society will prove a crush at the first meeting. In one of the swell hotels recently three friends sat down to dine-a man of means and 35, his wife and his friend. The lat ter, possibly under the influence of Dutch courage, remarked when the conversation turned on the Ruskin-Millais incident: Say, old chap, I'm quite sure I love your wife more than you do. Why don't you be as generous as Ruskin and give her to me?" The husband glanced at his spouse and smiled She looked silly. He said, .I'l leave 1t to her, Harry, right here. What do you say, Nell?'' 'Oh, don't leave it to me-" she cried. Settle it between yourselves" I'll bet there's a divorce in that family in month The Ruskin- Mil- lais code will prevail.
