Climate and consumption.

l am in favor of treating tuberculous
patients near their homes and in the
same or nearly the same climate as that
in which they will have to live and
work after their restoration to health
My reasons for advocating such princi-
pies are founded ON the experiences of
all modern phthisio- o-therapeutists, who
have demonstrated that the hygienic
and dietetic treatment in special sani-
tariums is feasible and successful in
nearly all climates
know from personal observation
that cures of pulmonary tuberculosis
effected in orr ordinary home climates
which are on the average not considered
AS especially favorable to this class of
sufferers have been more lasting and
more assured than cures obtained in
more genial climes.
And, with all due Difference to the
opinions of Others, do not believe
there exists any climate which has a
special curative quality for any form of
pulmonary tuberculosis, Climate can
only be considered as a more or less
valuable adiuvant in the treatment of
consumption, but not a specific. S. A.

DIdn.t Lose Any sIccp.

Jenner, the famous English physician
was essentially strong and self reliant
man. He attended the prince consort
through his fatal illness, he was the
Prince of Wales doctor when the heir
to the British throne had so narrow an
escape in 1872, and he also went to
Darmstadt and remained in attendance
upon the Princess Alice till she died
To practice medicine in ''the fierce
light that beats upon throne" is not
calculated to lessen the physician anx-
ieties, and one who knew Jenner well
once cushioned him on this point and
limited that his responsibilities must
sometimes be sufficient to render sleep
or rest impossible.
''Sleep, replied Jenner in his char
acteristic way. Il don't think that an
xiety about a patient ever kept me
awake five minutes in my life. l go to
bedside, do my best What more
can l dog Why should not sleep?''

A sfnm.se swell.

One of my neighbors was an interest
ing creature, and evidently well pleased
with himself. He wore long finger nails
and seeing me look ut him spread out
his left hand. evidently for my admira-
tion. On the fourth finger he wore n
large Chinese ring, and all the nails
were long, particularly those of the
fourth and fifth fingers. which had
grown to a length of at least an inch.
They looked like huge claws, especially
when he tried to pick up anything from
the seat The owners of such nails re
gard them with extreme satisfaction
and cultivate them so carefully that
they sometimes attain a prodigious
length.
They are largely affected by Siamese
and Chinese clerks who fancy them
selves exquisites They are supposed to
indicate the fact that their owners do no
manual work. Curiously enough, in so
far off a place as Mexico, the same idea
exists, but there it is generally confined
to the little finger. do not know what
else he had to be proud about unless it
was his right leg, which was ella aborate-
ly tattooed above the knee. He was
dressed in only panung, and to "A cord

The fruit crop of Colorado is all
right if the reports from the fruit
sections can be relied upon. So
far as known no damage has been
done by the cold weather that has
prevailed. The explanation for
this is that while it has been colder
than any previous year, the cold
has been uniform. There has not
been the alternate freezing and
thawing which is SO disastrous to
the fruit buds. There was no mild
mid winter weather to start the
buds to be caught by the next hard
freeze. From the last of Novem-
Der to the first of March it was one
steady run of cold weather and
unless something should happen
between now and spring Colorado
will have bigcrop of fruit. Den

INVESTIGATIONS, NO RESULTS.

For the welfare of the public it
is to be deplored that the investi-
ga ion of the house committee of
the legislature into the methods of
the insurance trust and the coal
combine was not productive of bet
ter results than is indicated by the
report submitted by the committee
to the house. The committee is of
opinion that the insurance com
bine can hardly be classified as a
trust because there are some non
board companies left, which still
permit a measure of competition
But if these companies should be
taken into the combine today or
tomorrow or any day hereafter
where would the competitor be
then?
AS to the coal combine the re-
port is still less satisfactory. 1t
declares there lisa "vicious conspir
acy' among the coal operators and
between them and the railroads
whereby the coal consumers are
victimized, but the report fails to
develop this inquiry in its true
light. The committee does NOT
touch upon the excessive transpor-
tation rates for coal whereby more
than ten times as much is charged
for the same service here as else
where. 1t does not touch on the
existing combine between the roads
leading to the northern and those
leading to the southern coal fields.
whereby the latter are also made to
charge excessive rates for coal
transportation in order to maintain
outrageous prices for both in Den
yer and elsewhere. Denver Post.

value of the hen output last year

THE FUTURE LEADERS OF THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

One of the first men in North Carolina,
gentleman who has held high positions,
in private letter which we take the
liberty of publicly referring to, says:
seThe best editorial that has appeared
in the News and Observer was the con-
ending few paragraphs in the editorial
concentrating the party on the bill to
mt foreign corporations upon an equal
footing with State corporations. Some
of MS had been afraid that the corpora
lions would exert an undue influence
upon the Legislature. We are rejoiced
beyond measure that this is not trua,
and that men devoted to the interests Of
the people are in the saddle. 1t in
gures Democratic ascendancy, for il
this Legislature had been dominated by
corporation influence, our party could
not have escaped defeat in 1900"
The extract to which our friend refers
appeared in an editorial in this paper on
tho oath instant. and is as follows:
"a new era has dawned when all legit'
innate enterprises viii have full protec-
tion and just treatment. but when cor
norations will be made to understand
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1899-01-27

that the people viii submit TO no dicta-
ton by them of the politics or legislation
Of the State. We have done with politi-
cal vassalage in North Carolina. The
man or set of men who think 10 ad-
vance their political prospects by seeking
to win the favor of political corporations
will be marked for slaughter. The time
has come when demagogues and the
tools of corporations can no longer have
leadership. Hereafter the man who as
pires to leadership in the Democratic
party in North Carolina must not only
have clean hands, but he must be known
TO own his soul and TO wear no man
collar. He must be the servant Of all.
in that sense that .he seeks the greatest
good TO the greatest number"
We reproduce it here to emphasize it.
and to congratulate the people of North
Carolina that the dominant party in the
State is worthy of the confidence re-
posed in it.
