More Fatal to Nearoes.

During the month of March there were twenty-four deaths in Birmingham from pneumonia Five of these were white and nineteen were negroes. This large nor tality among the negroes fig due to the Tact that the negro's vital lung capacity is only about two-thirds that of the white man. This fact is not generally known and was discussed during the civil war at Benton barracks In St. Louis There were 10000 negro soldiersthere during the war and great many autopsies were made. By vital lung capacity I mean that the size of the negro's lung is only two-thirds that of the white man. This Is why he succumbs so much more readi- ly to pneumonia, and together with the want of care in their environment Is the reason why they die so readily from consumption.
 practiced among the negroes five years before the war, and while they died with pneumonia, I never knew a case of consumption among them. This was be- cause they were valuable property and their environment was carefully looked after by their owners
 There Is no sure way to prevent pneu- iiohid, coHtiuueu the uoctOr, except the general care of the health. As I said a strong person will resist it's bacillus while weak one will succomb Anything there fore, that tends to lower the vitality such as overwork, dissipation or sickness renders person susceptible to it.
 Have 1t In All Seasons.
 Pneumonia a rule is more prevail ent In the fall. winter and spring months. but there is no season of the year when it may not exist. Often in June and July there are very severe cases of pneumonia, in fact the worst case that has come un- der my observation was in June.
 "At this time of the year all people whose vitality is in any way lowered should be very careful of their health. I should say that the persons to whom pneumonia is most fatal are the steady drinkers. have been practicing medicine for over forty-five years in Alabama and the army and I have never yet seen a pneumonia patient, who had been a steady drinker, recover. The same observation has been made by others, among whom I might mention Dr. Josiah Mott of Mo- bile. who founded the medical college there, and pr. E. H. Watts of Galveston. Texas"

increased to such an extent in eastern
cities that persons known to be "con-

because of the trouble and expense OF

the reason that the cafe proprietors
fear this class Of patrons may fall

Nothing to Be Done to Abate the Evil
of a Tariff for Monopo-
liata.

That the republican party does not
intend to legislate against the
trusts, however much individual
members may proclaim that it is
necessary, is shown by the evidence
of Hon. Robert Taylor, member of
congress from the Eighteenth Ohio
district, given before the Industrial
commission. In his opening remarks
he declared that any attempt to take
the tariff off even trust-made goods
would be bad in its effects. The tar
if principle, he said, should not be
abandoned.
AS general proposition, Mr.. Tay.
lor announced himself as opposed to
trusts. II am one OF those" he said,
s'who have not been able to bring
themselves in harmony with the idea
shat the trusts are good things"
The trusts, he declared, put 90
much power in the hands of few
men.
Speaking Of dealing with trusts, he
said he knew of no remedy for that
evil il it is an evil. Publicity might
be good thing, but it would be q
mere scratch on the surface. He
knew that trust has power to re-
auce the price of an article, but he
did not think the public would get
much benefit from that. In order to
pay dividends on securities of the
United States Steel company that
company would have to extract q
great deal from the public.
The witness said that apart from
any other question he thought that
it would be exceedingly unfortunate
to introduce any elements of unrest
in the country by discussing the tar
IF in congress or opening up the
tariff for any revising.
Now Taylor is chairman OF election
committee No. I, and was selected as
Anch because he could be relied on to
do the bidding OF those who rule
congress, and, being a friend and fol
Iower Of the administration, his evi-
Tlence makes it certain that there is
'.no remedy for the evil" as far az
The republicans intend to discover
Sne, and that even to discuss the re
Nising of the tariff lis to introduce
elements of unrest in the country"
If Mr.. Taylor represents the repub
lican policy on the trusts and the
hariff, nothing will be done to abate
The evils.
He admits there is robbery being
committed, when he says the steel
krust will "have to extract great
deal from the public" but he and
the large majority of protection re-
publicans intend to sit still and see
The steel trust and the other com
bines extract great deal from the
public" A very cool proceeding OF
the part of those who have been Sc
1ected as the servants of the people
30 protect their interests.
The democratic position is entirely
che reverse Of this. They believe
chat there is remedy to prevent the
trusts from carrying out their plan Of
fobbing the people and that is to re.
wise the tariff by placing trust pro-
ductions on the free list except what
nuties may be necessary for raising
revenue for the support of the gov
krnment-a tariff for revenue.
This will not kill the trusts, but /
will allow the world to compete will
them by Withdrawing the protection
that now gives them monopoly.
