This Much Is Sure:

That most cases Of genuine consumption
are due to the extension Of chronic ca
tarr11aI' inf1ar11 nations to the lungs from
the throat and bronchial tubes and that a
chronic inflammation may begin in the
lungs as the result of Serious exudations
into the air cells, caused by catarrh. These
ca ses certainly need no germ theory to
explain. their existence.
However too little is known as yet
about this subject to allow any consciehti-
Gus person to affirm or deny the truth OF
the existence OF a specific tubercular
bacillus.
THE acute form Of this disease is
known as quick consumption, and the
chronic form as creeping or catarrhal con-
sumption. There is no essential differ
ence in them. but the acute form is much
! more incurable than the chronic

so thoroughly am l convinced of this
fact that even when heredity (the first
cause) is present I invariably examine
the throat and fauces for chronic catarrh
and have yet the first case to sec where
catarrh was not present. I sincerely be-
lieve that If every case Of chronic cataSrh

PRIM AIRY TROUBLES.

IIowa Falls Ctizen.l
While the primary system of nomi-
mating candidates for office is much
preferable theoretically, to the old eau
Gus system in practice at least. there
are serious objections to the primary.
If this country is a fair sample OF
what the primary system produces, and
it is reasonable to suppose that it is.
among the products are the leg-puller,
the black mailer and the briber.
The candidate for office who desires
to make the canvass on his merits is
at once confronted with the leg pulier'
who wants to work for him for a Ger
tain price if he loses and larger price
if he wins. The demand carries with
1t the inferential threat that unless the
price is paid there Will be knives in &C
ton. and here is where the black mailer
gets in his work.
knowledge has reached this office OF
leg pullers in the present primary con-
test who have been so bold as TO make
their demands by telephone. Election
day witnesses many leg-puliers IN ac-
ton, and their services command every
where from IS to $50. The merits OF
the candidate are of little consequence
to the leg -puiler. 1t is his money that
is desired. The writer saw list OF
county -pullers. prepared for the use
of candidates who might desire such
services. II man must buy his way
into office. it is time the public started
out with a club.
Ii a special friend of some candidate
spends his time and money in assist
ing the candidate, it is right to remun-
crate him. but leg-puller's association
is something different and something
rotten.
Once engulfed in the leg pulling trou-
BILE, the candidate thinks that the price
is demanded everywhere and NJ
proceeds to buy up news
papers, the price ranging from $50 to
5000. This species of bribery is en-
tireIy too prevalent. Each primary con-
test brings new evidence of such rot

THE MAFlA IN AMERICA.

One of the number of undesirable inn
ports brought to America is the Sicilian
Malta which appears 10 have become
an institution among the Italian resi-
dents of New York City, The Malta so
far as Americans have been able to pry
into it's secrets is sec5et organization
of Canditti with blackmail and robbery
as its principal objects. Demands upon
its selected victims are backed by mur-
derous threats, and falling compliance
these threats are made good by murder.
The order dominates Sicily, where with
the red stiletto of the Malta before his
eyes no tradesnlan refuses his tribute.
Public extortioh and private revenge,
keep the knife busy among the Sicilians
and make the Malta virtually ruler OF
Sicily. Recent murders in New York
have unearthed a condition somewhat
similar among the Italian residents Of
that city. A system of Matchmaking as
sessment is in vogue, and abduction and
murder follow failure on the victims
part to pay promptly. The Italian or
der seems as effective among its own
people as the highbinders' organization
is among the Chinese, and the secrets
of the one seem to be as religiously kept
from the police and the public as are
those of the other.
