Last Saturday night, the Republicans,
having no torches, borrowed those be-
longing to the silver flambeau club, and,
when the parade was over, carried some
home and destroyed many more. A
nice trick, surely.

said, "Oh heaviDs heavens why do |

him in a boat and he went to st.

The Eastern manufacturers are al

brought to bear upon the next Con-

Last week recorded a reduction of 10

we see that even a Chinese protective

producer from the evil effects of the

Stamping Out Consumption.

A very important and authoritative
statement Is made by an influential
medical journal of London that tuber.
culosls, or what is commonly known
Is pulmonary consumption, is in a
air way to be stamped out in the
future by science. In proof OF this
the writer adduces figures to show
hat the dimiDutinu in mortality
from this dread disease is regular and
progressive. In seeking for the
causes OF this decline it is found that
the preventive sanitary measures in
the inspection at beef and milk play
an important part, while the
inclination to live out doors in the
fresh air and the spread of outdoor
sports. with better ventilation and
less overcrowdinP, are important aids.
Finally methods Of treatment are i'm
mensely improved in the same ratio
rs the standards Of living, and the
facilities with uhich persons can es-
cape to benign climates have much to
d" with the results. Fifty years ago
civilization without pulmonary con-
sumption would have been an idle
dream, but it is now one OF those
dreams which both rational science
and statistics declare is slowly COM
ing to be e fact. 1t is curious to OBJ

Still at the Head.

Russell A. Alger, Secretary of War
in the cabinet Of William Mckinley,
has given to the people of the United
States an official history Of the war of
'99. 1t has been edited carefully by
Mr.. Ayers chief, and aside from it's
historical matter is IA plea for an en-
larged standing army, the necessity
of which will not be disputed if the
authority OF the United States is to
be maintained completely and salts
factorily in the Antilles and the Phil
ippines. But that official communi-
cation which would meet greatest
welcome would be the resignation Of
Russell A. Alger as Secretary Of War
and its acceptance by the President,
who ought never have given AIger
opportunity to infict his Incompe-
tence upon citizens Of the United
States who volunteered at the call Of
his chief to fight their battles. While
Russell A. Alger remains Secretary
Of War, how if it possible to hope that
other than the most desperate Of the
citizenry OF the United States will
enlist in its enlarged army? They
do not fear the perils Of battle, but
the perils Of AIgerism are more than
any man ought to be asked by a hui
name nation to encounter.-Chicago
