An Old Idea Exploded.

That burglars OF the more advanced
type can and tlo use chloroform in tic
commission of their crimes is IL belief
widely held anil rarely contradictcd,
and yet there is. curiously, little foun-
datiOn for it. Indeed, those who nrc
most familiar with the administration
and effects Of anacsthetics assert that
there is no foundation ut all for it cx-
cept in the imagination of sensational
writers and i'll the needs Of people
whose losses cannot safely be explain
ed by statements of fact. The uues-
tiOn has been raised ut I'ittsbllrg re-
Gently by several robbcrics at which
chloroform is said to have been en-
plOyed, and opinions of the local ex-
perts are strongly against the possibil-
ity of such use. One Of the physicians
interviewed is quoted as saying: "As
far as known, chlorOfOrm and ether
have never tnken effect on II healthy
sleeping person without that person
knowing it. Both of these anacsthet-
les arc Mt first stimulating and invig-
Grating i'll their effect and will arouse
n sleeping person. Tho entire system
is excited and the heart beats violently
and fast. The use of either chloro-
form or ether, or any other anaesthetic,
by burglars is absurd. 1t frequently
takes physicians with their various
appliances from 10 to fifteen minutes
to put person under the influence of
either Of these ahaesthctics, and often
q patient will become SO stimulated
and active before tho effect is secured
that it requires several strong men to
hold him." The idea that the mere in
PRODUCTION Of chlOrOfOrm into q room
would cause unconsciousncss was de-
ridcd as absurd. Even if doors and
windows were alright, it would take
several gallons Of either anacsthctic so
to fill room with the heavy fumes as
to affect q sleeper on IL bed of average
height. And the first effect would be,
not deep sleep, but excited wakcful-
ness. The chances are. then, that
when anybody claims to have been
chlorcformed by burglars there is
something queer abont the case.-Er-

The Facts OF the Situation.

Although the war in the Philippines
is Mr.. McKinley's sown-Congress never
having declared 1.-THE American peO-
pie are fighting and paying for it.
They are, therefore, entitled to full
and trustworthy information concern
ing it. A double censorship at Manila
and at Washington keeps this informa-
tion from the people. But these facts
are not denied:
1. The war has now lasted for 1870
days. OF % days longer than our war
with Spain. We hold, after this period,
less of the territory than Spain occupied
and less than we held in August of last
year. The rebel forces are now III ore
troublesome" than mt any former
time.
2. The war has cost nearly 700 men
killed, G,500 wounded, 10000 invalided.
1t has cost S63, 1000, 600 in money and is
costing nearly 100000 day. Our
losses in the fighting in Cuba which
resulted in the surrender Of Santiago
and the end of the war with Spain were
about 230 killed and 1900 wounded.
Our losses in Porto Rico were 3 killed
and DO wounded.
B. There hive been sent to Gen. Otis
$4,000 men. Some 1900 more are under
sail orders. The President has decided,
it is said, quietly to enlist the $4,000
volunteers he was authorized by Con-
gress to add to the army for temporary
use.
4. According to the best expert tes-
timOny it will take from 100000 to 15O,-
600 troops to subdue the Filipinos and
hold the principal points in the islands.
). The rainy season will soon put IN
end to campaigning. "Fifty per cent
of our men will be incapacitatcd by
sickness and the territory ovcrrun will
have to be Abandoned; Manila will be
in state of seize again." This is the
testimony of DR.. McQucst0n, late of
Gen. Otis staff, and health officer at
Manila.
O. The Presidents peace commission
is total failure, owing largely to it's
inability to consider any terms except
unconditional surrender and absolute
submission to the Sovereignty of the
United States"
This is not a pleasing picture. 1t is
neither benevolent assimilation" nor
successful conquest. It has all the ap-
pearance Of o foolish and futile and
endless guerilla war. IF Mr.. Mckinley
can "crush the insurrection by an over
whelming force" as his supporters are
urging him to do, it is manifestly the
part of wisdom for him to do so. There
is neither honor nor profit in permit
ting this unnecessary and Un-American
war to drag on into another year.
