FIRE, NOT FISH.
That's What Two DeVotees Of

A good story is told at the expense
OF two north end fishermen. The two

uAxrra IT WORSE.

It really seems as If the Constitutional Convention of Connecticut Is mainly ir- tent on emphasizing the present absurd method of spportioning members of the Legislature. The large cities are making a vigorous fight on the present unjust plan of giving each town" 1t matters not how small. one member of the lower House. while the largest cities have but two. As . method of evening up things. it is seriously proposed to largely in- crease the number of Senators, passing them on population. Under this so-calied compromise, the city of New Haven. for example, would have two Representatives and six Senators! and this ridiculous proposition Is actually under considera- ton. This plan. if fully carried out. would make the Senate the larger of the two bodies. No wonder The Hardford Times declares that "the tail would be wagging the dog"
 The trouble with their convention lies in the fact that the delegates were elect ed under the town system and this gives the small towns a large majority. Ma turaily, as well as selfishly. they have a disposition to hold on to all the power they have and refuse to support any measure looking to the apportionment of legislators on the basis of population. The new constitution, as we understand. Is to be submitted to the people. and if 1t still adheres to the present inequitable sys- tenn, the larger cities should unite and vote it down.

PNEUMONIA AND CONSUMPTION

Two significant and suggestive facts in connection with the vital statistics of the United States are just now occupying the attention of medical mea. as we'll as of all others who are interested in humanity and welfare of the human race. One of these is that the death rate from con- sumption and allied diseases is steadily decreasing, while that from pneumonia is as steadily increasing. The change in the death rate in each case is decided and indisputable.
 The decrease in deaths from consump- ton is partly due to the advance in Inedl- cal science and partly to improvement in sanitation and sanitary methods. both of which causes are entitled to some of the credit But the great falling off in deaths from tuberculosis must undoubtedly be attributed to the now almost universal acceptance of the germ theory in connec- tion with the diseases, and the consequent sumption, if not contag ous or strictly infectious, is certainly communicable from one to another. Recognizing this as an established fact. it naturally fol- lows that medical men are to a certain extent. and as far as practicable, taking the same precautions in the case of con- sumptives that they do with smallpox or other diseases always known to be con- tagious or infectious.
 It is for this reason that in many of the States of the Union separate prisons are being provided for consumptive convicts, so that the sound may not be infected by the diseased. Humanity as we'll as mo- tives of economy demand that sound and healthy men, though criminals. shall not he shut up with others who are known to be consumptive And in the hospitals and sanitariums of the country the same
The Montgomery advertiser., 1902-03-21

methods are being observed and enforced, and the soundness of the practice is shown by the decreased death rate from this fearful disease. It Is . distinct and noted triumph for medical sciencs.
 The same advancement in medical knowledge and the same improvement in sanitation should have brought about corresponding decrease in the death rate from pneumonia. and 1t would have done SO but for the fact that up to very re- cent period this disease was not placed by medical men or others in the list of communicable diseases. When one n,em- Der of a family was suffering from pneu- monia. 1t was not thought necessary to isolate the patient, or to prevent free and constant communication, with others. It never occurred to the medical men or to the iaity that a case of this disease should be guarded and precautions taken to prevent others taking 1t. It was ire the family would have the disease, but 1t was considered that the surroundings or the atmospheric conditions were respon- sible. and so lives were sacrificed through ignorance of the true nature of this dread ed disease. We have within the last few ties in families from this cause in various parts of the country. and we have also noted the increase in the number of deaths from the same cause.
 The theory that pneumonia is dissemin- ated by a microbe is fast obtaining cre- dence In the medical world just as 1t ob- tained in connection with consumption. Indeed. fifteen or more years ago 1t was claimed that the pneumonia germ had been discovered, but from some cause lit- tie notice appears to have been taken of 1t of late. However. the subject is claiming the attention of scientists. and in late issue of The Medical Record there Is highly interesting article discussing the causes of the increase in this disease and the deaths resulting from 1t. The author treats the germ theory as an accepted fact, and also writes of the various causes which are favorable to the spread of the disease. also giving good advice and suggestions along the line of precautionary measures to prevent the spread of it. It Is hardly to be doubted that when medi- cal men, nurses and hospital attendants become fully educated to understand the importance of guarding against the spread of the disease there will be a notable falling off in the fatality from this dread visitor, and 1t will no longer stand at or near the head of the list of fatal diseases.

PLAYING FOR POSITION.
Senate and House Arranging for the
 Fall Elections.

Fall Elections.
 Washington Special to New York Evening
 Post.
 It is the present purpose of the Repuh- lican leaders to postpone acuon Tn the House on the shipping subsidy bill until the next session of Congress. which will begin a few weeks after the Congression- al elections. While there would be objec- tions to such postponement had the House acted and the Senate not, in the present order there can be no danger on account of the congestion of business in the short session. The House can have a vote at any time the leaders please, and on very short notice hence next ses- sion is as good as now. This is the ad- vantage of having the Senate act frst on such a measure.
 How the House would vote on the sub sidv bill, If a roll were called, has not been made clear. That is the chief req son for the delay, which will allow mem- hers A number of months, including those of the recess. to think the matter over and to feel the pulse of their constituents. within the Republican party will be kept ood-uatured. The friends of the subsidy will be able to say that with the passage of the bill through the Senate the greater part of the hill has been climbed. and that only a little more exertion will be necessary for the consummatton of their ione-cherished wish. In the agricultural Northwest on the other hand. Republican oppositiOn to the subsidy VIII DC Quleted dnrin9 the campaign by the covert sug- gestion that while the Senate has already 6asged the bill its fate in the House Is another story.
 It is reported that several of the New York city Democratic Representatives are in favor of the subsidy bill, and MT. Me CIellans name is commonly quoted as heading the list. To your correspondent today he stated that he should have to wait to see the exact shape in which the hill came before the House before dectd- ing whether he would support it.
 Seldom has the passage of bill in the Senate by majority of eleven been so generally looked upon as a practical de feat. While the six Republican votes cast against the Frye bill do not represent al of the Senators who have privately ex- pressed their misgivings. this number Is large enough to take away all taint of mugwumpery from any House Republi- cans who see fit to vote the same way A bill is deprived of standing as strict party n easurc, when it meets the open opposi- ton of Senate leaders of the calibre of Allison. Spooner and Proctor and of the three younger men, who for new Sena- tors, have made an excellent record House Republicans will now feel free to divide on the measure according to their individual preferences. and on this basis 1 the Republican majority would speedily vanish. The Northwestern members who in the last Congress. maintained an ef- fective opposition, are said to be much encouraged by this vote, and more deter

COTTON GOODS PRICES ADVANCE
With Cost of Staple and Wages In- creased, Higher Values Expected.

Boston Special to New York Times.
 The American Cotton Yarn Exchange says: "In our January and February letters we have been giving out caution ary signals, advising our friends that we expected to see higher values for cotton. cotton goods. and cotton yarns; we ad- vised all our customers to cover their contracts with yarns. The higher price for cotton has been severe blow to many. as they have been led to believe from the experts on crop estimates that we were to have large crop. and that lower prices would prevail this spring for the staple. These experts left out of their calculations two very important factors first the consumption of cotton in our domestic and foreign trade: secondly. the very strong undertone and brisk demand for cotton goods, taxing manufacturers to their fullest capacity for months ahead.
 Wages arc advancing; here Is another unexpected factor to meet. That the ad- vance will take place quite readily Is con- ceded. Buyers might as well accept the situation, and fron the enhanced cost or both the staple and labor certainly hisn- CT values for cotton products will pre- vail, and we look for no decline in pres ent prices on goods and yarns"
