TOY PISTOL AID LoCKJAw

The extraordinary development this
year of lockjaw as the result of the acct
dents incident to the Fourth of July
is not to be explained on the ordinarily
prevalent theories of the disease. We
have had two such cases of our own.
while in the East especially in Greater
New York and vicinity, there appears to
exist perfect epidemic of tetanus. The
ease is the neglected wound caused by
toy pistols in the hands of boys. But this
is not at all exclusively the cause. There
is one case of fatal lockjaw developed In
Yonkers, N. Y, in boy who scratched
with his nail vaccination sore on his
arm. There are also numbers of cases of
the disease having sprung from wounds
received from the discharge of ffrecrack
ers, in one case the wound being of the
most trivial character
Even medical men are puzzled TO
explain the general prevalence Of the
disease The toy pistol has been in as
general use every other national ami
versary as 1t was this year. The
number of accidents or their character
on the Fourth of this July did not ma
terially differ from those of any of the 12a
anniversary celebrations before. Yet It
cannot be recalled that more than an oc-
casional case of lockjaw resulted in the
past from such celebrations
1t is generally recognized that tetanus
is epidemic; that is, peculiar to certain
localities and to local causes Thus,
there is certain section of New Jersey
to which the disease is peculiar just as
malaria is peculiar to marshy ground.
The principal cause of this disease, how
ever, is the infection of jagged wounds,
mostly in the hands. although 1t has been

GETTING LoONEY AGAIN

With the return of the new moon the
Minneapolis Tribune gets looney again.
We have had frequent occasion to note
the singular coincidence of the coming
of the full moon and the appearance of
editorials in our esteemed contemporary
that indicate that mental condition to
which, from time immemoriaI, that term
has been applied. We leave to psychoIo-
gists the problem whether this is merely
a coincidence or whether the ancient
wisdom is correct i'll giving to It the re-
latiOn of cause and effect. The particu-
lar instance that invites this reflection
is the effort of the Tribune to demon,
strate that Mr.. Havemeyer was in error
i'll declaring that the tariff is the mother
of trusts. 1t rests it's argument in part
upon a statement of its New York name
sake, based upon one made by the Lon
don Economist, that England has more
trusts than this country, and as England
has free trade the tariff cannot be the
mother of trusts. We recognize in the Lon
don Economist familiar face It's state
ments formed the stock argument of pro.
tectionist organs in the day when the tar
if fight was on and Democrats were
marching to victory in it, That the
Tribune now quotes it is clear evidence
of the effect of the moon upon what it is
pleased to regard as it's brain.

from a falsehood to generalities. If the
tariff is removed English trusts will in
wade our markets and smash our trusts.
and then we will be at their mercy; the
old bugaboo revamped and set up again
to alright the simple. That argument
is simply silly, but Stiffness and looney-
the Tribune demonstrates that it is the
latter that afflicts it by its further argu-
ment to substantiate its assertion that
tariffs and trusts are two different mat
tiers requiring separate treatment. ct
has been successfully demonstrated that
American exports increase under protec-
ton, because protection attracts capital
on a large scale into industries and re-
duces the cost of production, enabling
US to undersell other exporting coun-
tries That is to say: Large capital

ly that it can send it's products abroad
and undersell foreign competitors, but IL
its privilege, given by a protective tar
if, to charge domestic consumers a high
er price, were taken away, it could not
compete with foreigners even in our own,
and the trusts own, markets This sur
passes the silly and enters the looney
stage in its last full quarter.

1t is an old saying that misfortunes
the present imperialist administration
fairly rain down on that exalted aggre-
cation just at this time. The exposure
of the criminal confidence game worked
on the country through the censorship
trick has not passed from the public
mind before new evidence comes from
near home of the brutalities to which the
volunteers are subjected in their bootless
strife in the tropics. 1t is furnished
by the captain of Company X, of the
North Dakota regiment, in a recent COM
munication to Maj. Edwards, of the Far
go Forum. 1t ought to settle for the
country completely the question so salts
factorily settled for themselves of late
by the imperialists, whether the men of
the volunteer regiments desire to stay in
the Philippines.
AS Capt Auldid is a good Republican
and a member of the G. A. R. his tes-
timony cannot very well be gansaid
Here is what he says:
l saw in the papers the other day that
the president informed Senator Pettigrew
that Gen. Otis had cabed that the vol
unteerS did not want to be sent home.
think the president was giving the sena-
tor fairy tale. If the volunteers don
want to go home, l never in my life saw
anybody that did. 1 will venture to say
that the only persons in the volunteers
who wish to stay are regular army Of
hcerS, commanding volunteer regiments,
say captains and first lieutenants in the
regular army who are now enjoying the
rank and pay Of colonies. There is today
l per cent Of the volunteers who desire
to remain. From our standpoint the war
for which we volunteered is over; we did
not enlist to remain in the Philippines and
fight the niggers in the jungles The diff
ference in transportation facilities shown
the volunteers and the regulars is very
marked. While the regulars are fitted
out with mule teams, the volunteers have
to be content with single bull carts, and
when the bulls lie down and die, as they
did the first few days out on this last
expedition, the First North Dakota had
to turn in and drag the carts them
selves.
The G o has already expressed it's
settled conviction that it is little short
of crime to keep the men of the voiun-
teer regiments out in that country when
congress long since gave the amplest
powers to the administration to supplant
them by men who propose to make the
game of war their pursuit and who can
go in the capacity of regular soldiers
of the United States All that has
transpired shows this view to be cor
rect. There is a strong suspicion preva-
lent, as expressed in this letter, that the
volunteers are being played as stool
pigeons by the representatives of the
regular army and are being made to do
the hardest and most dangerous kinds of
duty. However this may be, the protest
of the people, in order to be effective,
must never cease until the volunteers
are aboard ship on their return to their
respective homes.

WASHINGTON. July 1S.-The work &C.
complished by The Hague conference, as
represented in the conventions and trea-
ties which have just reached the state
department, are divided into three class
es. The first relate to the revision Of the
rules Of war department relative to the
rescue of shipwrec<ed and injured per-
sons In marine battles. Included under
this general head is a provision for ex-
tending TO hospital ships immunity from
capture in three cases-first In the case
Of official national vessels under proper
insignia; second, private hospital ships
fitted out by benevolent persons; third,
hospital ships fitted out by neutral DOW
ers, beneVOlently inclined, for the rescue
Of wounded and shipwrecked sailors.
The conventions relate to the revision
and experimenting of rules for conduct
of war on land. These undertake to de-
fine who are and who are not proper
combatants. They also provide for the
proper treatment of prisoners of war.
etc.
The third class of conventions contain
articles looking to the peaceful adjust
ment Of international differences, includ-
ing a scheme of mediation, a scheme of
international courts of inquiry and a
scheme for a permanent arbitration
tribunal.
All of these conventions are under care
full scrutiny, and If they comply in terms
with tho brief synopsis already furnished
the government, they will secure the adj
hesion Of the state department.

There is no explanation thus far given
Of the spread of the disease as the result
of the Fourth of July shootings that
meets the case. No one would claim,
for instance, that lockjaw is endemic in
st. Paul. or in other portions Of the
country far separated from New York in
which the disease has developed this
year from such wounds where it never
developed before. Nor can it be said to
be epidemic. since it is not at all general
throughout any large section. The most
common original cause Is that of the
a blank cartridge. While there have been
claims put forward that the disease germ
of lockjaw has been developed in foreign
substances, such as the wad of a blank
cartridge, yet that proposition has been
successfully questioned.
Whatever be the cause of the present
outbreak it Is quite plain that the origin of
the whole trouble is the foolish resort of
the young to explosives on the national
anniversary. Many will hope that it may
prove successful in putting an end to the
careless and dangerous misuse of explo-
sives such as prevails all over the coun-
try on the Fourth.

Two alarms were sent in, owing to the
dangerous locality. At time when the
fire seemed to be under control and
while several of the firemen were in the
structure to subdue what little flames
were left and ten others on the roof,
the structure tumbled with a loud sound.
and nothing but a mass of debris was
left. The f1remen on the roof and those
on the ladders and within went down
with the ruins 1t was an unexpected
catastrophe, and the crowd worked as
one man when they realized what had
happened. The work of rescue began.
and as fast as the fire fighters could be
gotten out ambulances and conveyances
hurried to the emergency hospital, where
the injured men received the necessary
attention.
