Dysentery Disappearing.

The disappearance Of one Of the most
fatal diseases to the American soldiers
in the Phfltppines-dysentery-is caus-
ing great satisfaction to the medical
branch Of the army. Surgeon General
Forwood has received recent advices
that this disease. which heretofore has
caused more sickness and deaths than
any other diseases among the troops in
the Philippines. has practically disap-
peared.
There is nothing mysterious. however,
in the disappearance Of the disease. as
ii has simply succumbed to the efforts
OF the Medical Department for its eradi-
cation Strict sanitary measures have
been enforced, including the boiling Of
ali drinking water and rules for bathing
and particularly the washing OF the
hands before handling food.

made OF the parasite which causes the
disease This parasite is known techui-

Officers on Leave to Go.

The Surgeon General has recommended
that % majors and 30 captains be imme-
diately selected for discharge. and this
recommendation will be carried into eff
feet. All those volunteer medical officers
who are row in the United States on
leave or for other purposes will be dis
charged, and sufficient number to MAKE
up the remainder viii be selected fo-
discharge upon recommendation Of the
chief surgeon Of the Philippines.
The commanding general notified the
department some time ago that abou.
1880 hospital corps men would be re
CURED in the islands. and the force has
BEEN gradually reduced to that number
About d female nurses are required. and

Federal Patronage.

The principal plank OF this platform,
however, IS that pertaining to the divi-
sion Of Federal patronage with the col
ored men and women. 1t is mainly due
10 the alleged lack OF consideration
given the black men OF the district that
the fight is TO be made
1t is pointed out. for instance, that
in his district there are 291 postofices
Ninety-seven OF these are money order
offices and nine are of the salary grade.
1t is complained that, aside from one
or two little Offices, where the allow
ance to the postmaster does not amount
TO enough TO keep man alive. none are
presided over by negroes. In this con-
neetion stress IS laid upon the fact that
in the Sixth district there are 1875 reg
isteTed coIored voters. Such strength. fl
is declared, Is entitled TO substantial
recognition.

at Linden Saturday night and formally
ratified the nomination of Rev. Henry
Newman. eoIored. as an independent can
d!date for Representative against Mr..
Pearre, the regular Republican candi-
date for the Sixth Maryland district.
The committee adopted two sets Of
resolutions One is as follows:
Whereas the coIored people OF the
State Of Maryland are in this. the Sixth,
Congressional district, holding no State
and Federal Offices and but few mental
jobs: be it
Resolved. That we demand the ap-
pointment OF a colored man as deputy
collector OF revenue in this district or
deputy collector OF customs at Balti-
more, or postmaster CT one OF the Presi-
Dental postofices in this district"
The other reads:

property owner and taxpayer in the
State CT Maryland and is a man OF good
character and standing; be it
Resolved, That we call upon the
clubs and councils of the Ex-Slave
Bounty and Pension Association OF the
United States TO support his candidacy
for Congress, and we call upon ali Ct
the Baptist preachers everywhere to give
him their moral support"
Membership of 100000.
The ex-slave association has a mem
bership. it is said. of 800 GOO It is the
intention Of the Newman followers 10
ask for contributions from this member
ship. They count upon this factor as
one Of great strength in the fight they
are to make.
Newman says he will make an ener-
getic campaign against Colonel Pearre.
In company with several other negro
leaders. including James ". Pee. Of Lin
den, he says he will canvass AIlegany,
Frederick, Washington. and Montgomery
counties. His party has already adopted
planks not contained in the platforms OF
either OF the big political organizations.
Il demands:
a pension for every ex-sIave, proper
treatment OF the colored voter, division
OF state and Federal Offices with colored
men and women, repeal OF the civil serY-
ice, reform OF the tariff. abolition Of

 With Mark Smith out Of the race, Charles Nj. shannon, of Graham, who is at present soJourning in Los An geles, is an ayowed candidate.

 It is stated on good authority here that Judge owen T. Rouse will be d candidate for the nomination at the convention which will meet in Tucson on September 8. Ever since the retire ment of the learned judge from the bench he has had bee buZzing in his bonnet, and with the retirement c.

Summing up the situation this early in the campaign. 1t seems that the fight is simmerinS down between SIanLon oi tbe sou,E and Wilson of the north, with the odds slightly in favor of Wilson.
 County politics in Pima are dull. So far the only names mentioned are those for treasurer. Mir Surrine, who was formerly at Bowie station in the employ of the s.

 The Tucson resident still takes pleasure in pointing out where the old wedge once stood, and the plans for the removal of the ramaining partion at an early date.
