Thus is presented to the peo-
pie of the Third Congression-
al District a full and complete
statement of everything con-
nected with Mr.. Wheatley's
official record, made ten years
ago, while city clerk of the
city of Columbus, and we defy
any honorable and impartial
man to find in this record one
iota of dishonesty or one single
thing that would cause any
man to denominate Geo. w.
Wheatley a dishonest man. 1t
is a shame and a disgrace that
because a man is nominated
to high and responsible Of

get for venom, hate and mis-
representation. Let us all

when enlightened citizenship
will trample in the earth such

The Metric System in England.

One hundred and seventy-two men,
bers of parliament have notified their
approval of the compulsory adoption
of the metric system of weights and
measures throughout Great Britain.
The Decimal association points out in
a circular that in the interests of trade
the reform should be made at once.
The metric system is already permits
sive and legal in Great Britain and in
the United States. Any manufactures
or merchant who wishes to increase
his foreign trade is entirely at liberty
TO make his goods with metric dimen-
sions and to invoice them in metric
measures. How trade is to be increased
by forcing him to do so is mystery not
yet explained by the busy advocates of
the Decimal association.-N.Y Y. Sun.

FISH-EATING AND LEPROSY.
The Opinion That the Dread Disease
Is Related to Habits of Diet
Is Widespread.

The idea that fish eating has some
thing to do with leprosy dates back
from long ago, in fact, it is one which
almost naturally arises in the minds OF
those who observe the geographical dis
tribution of the disease and note how
it tends to cling to the coast line or to
the borders of great rivers, where peo-
pie live largely upon fish. Many facts
have however, been brought up against
the fish theory, especially has it been
pointed out that leprosy also prevails
in certain places far from rivers or
seas. where fish cannot be obtained, as,
for example, in the mountains of Kur-
distan and in many parts of India
among caste which religiously abstain
from all animal fool, including fish,
says the Hospital. To this, however,
Mr.. Hutchinson answers that il India,
where monotonous rice diet prevails,
condiments are largely used, and that
not uncommon constituent of such
condiments is fish in an uncooked and
partially decomposed condition. He
also shows how far inland sailed and
dried fish may be carried along trade
routes. The relation of lep-
rosy to South Africa is one of great
interest. When the Dutch founded
Cape Town there was. he says, no lep-
rosy amongst the inland natives. A
century later two Dutch farmers near
Cape Town were found to be lepers,
he IIEAoen hoe ham
steadily increasing and spreading
northwards amongst both native and
European races. It's chief foci, how
ever, are still in and near to Cape Town
and other coast towns.
Why then has this noncontagious
disease increased and spread up the
country? And why does it still have
Cape Town as its main focus of distri-
button? To this Mr.. Hutchinson an
swers by saying that the disease began
amongst the Dutch near Cape Town
after the establishment of fsh-curing
factory at that place. 1t spread
amongst the.Hottentot slaves and 9TH
ers after sailed fish had become an or
binary article of diet in the daily ra-
ton. 1t increases because with the de-
velopment of commerce the supply of
salt fish inland has become more and
more common, and, finally, Cape Town
is the principal focus because the larg-
est salt fish factory is situated there.
According to this view one may say
that what is endemic in leprosy areas
is not so much leprosyas the social GUS
tom of eating uncooked fish; much in
the same way as trichina disease may
be apparently endemic in certain
countries in which what really is en-
demic is the habit of eating uncooked
pork.
