The fact that the Democratic
members of the Senate committee

we're not aware that meeting of the
committee was being held and had
no more opportunity to express
themselves or make suggestions on
the subject than had the man in
the moon, made no difference TO
the brutal majority" The bill
was rushed through to its second
reading, without reference to a
committee, by strict party vote.
Possibly it made no practical diff
ference. The majority can ride
rough shod over the minority if it
chooses, and it appears that ii
chooses to do so In the good old
Democratic days such thing as
courtesy was recognized, while in
the Republican lexicon it appears
that there is no such word. II
such a word as decenoy is to be
found there, it is probably in the
appendix Charleston Gazette.

Importance of Vaccination.

Importance of Vaccination.
Editor Register;
During the recent visit of small-
pox in our town and community
in the months of December, 1900,
and January, 1901, L became more
impressed than ever with the i'm
portanoe of vaccination. For ex-
ample, the house in whioh Alex
Peck (oolored) lives. His oldest
son Ed. was taken siok on the 26th
of December, 1900. 1 was called
by his father to see him, prescribed
and the next day called again, find
ing him quite sick man with
pulse 12O to tho minute and tenn
perature 1O3 degrees. Iprescribed
again leaving instructions with his
step mother. Friday morning, the
28th, 1 again called and found him
decidedly more comfortable, with
symptoms all abated and condition
apparently normal, except an erupt-
ion on his face, forehead, and
wrists; then L Immediately sus-
pected smallpox and I told him 1
believed he had it, although (deny-
he had been exposed.) o! no,
Doctor, 1 reckon not; / feel SO
much better since taking your med
ioine, and better than 1 have for
weeks, and [ feel as if L could get
up and go out. L said indeed you
cannot, for am going to quaran-
tine you and the family until 1 oan
determine whether you have small
pox or not. Before leaving the
house, 1 vaocinated the whole FAM
lily, none of whom had ever been
vaccinated but Peck himself. The
next day Sunday, 29th, 1 called
again, and was satisfied it was a
case of small pox, and acted accord
ingly. 1t proved to be severe
case, oonhuent in form. The vac
oination took we'll in all the arms
except one of the younger children,
a little girl and her father, so re-
vaocinated them. his, taking well,
but hers not at all, and in ID days
from the time Ed. broke out, Peck
and his child both were taken sick,
she having marked case of small
pox, disorete in form, and he very
severe case of the modified form,
varioloid, and the worst l ever saw.
Not one of those whose arms were
sore from the first vaccination
could 1 detect any symptoms of
small pox or the varioloid, not even
in the mother who had slept with
her little daughter the entire time.
Now I am fully satisfied had she
not been vacoinated, would have
taken the small poxi also the other
children. The degree of protec-
Ition afforded by vaccination has
become question of great inter
est. Its extreme value has been
easily demonstrated by statistical
researches. The mere lapse of
time in many cases seems sufficient
to destroy the protective influence
of vaccination. In many persons
it lasts for life, but. to be sure of
protection 1 would advise vaccina-
tion. Certainly monument
should have been erected to the
memory of the great DR.. Edward
Jenner, who fret praoticed vacci-
nation. l., r. CAMPBELL, M. ID.

Washington in tho Fif'ties.


In reminiscent article in the
Saturday Evening Post, Hon. Gal
usha a Grow says that Washing
ton in 1851 was but promise OF
the noble city of to-day. Though
it then had a population of 10000,
it presented much of the appear
ance of an overgrown village. Its
houses, as rule, were built of
wood aud destitute of architectural
pretensions. Many of it's avenues
and walks were unpaved and ill
kept, and there were few squares,
or, shades, or places of public re-
sort. Not street was lighted ex-
cept Pennsylvania Avenue. South.
eastern Washington was out off
from the rest of the city by wide,
shallow canal, which extended from
the Potomac nearly to the Capitol
Hill, and was a receptacle for the
city's filth and refuse. There was
not sewer in the city; weeds grew
in the parks and commons; the
present departments and the Capt.
tol were unfinished, and stables,
wooden fences and patches of bare
earth surrounded the White House.
