A Preventative of Typhoid.

In w dSuIuS lOu COIIGSpOu-
dent of the New York Herald
reports that an expert of the
Agricultural Department has dis
covered that TYPHOID fever, mall
arlal fever and mosquitoes can
be exterminated absolutely;
that owing to the cheap
ness of the preparation to be
used, the most inexperienced
persons can use it in destroying
mosquitoes and fever germs in
stagnant pools, and in removing
the green slime found upon the
surface of the pools. The prep
aration referred to is nothing
more than the Bordeaux mixture,
which has been used for years in
the spraying of fruit trees. Care
fully applied, it is not only claim
ed that it will kill the noxious
germs in ponds and pools, but
will purify a drinking water sup
ply. However, only experts
should attempt to use it in drink
ing water, as a proportion too
large might be attended with
serious and possibly fatal results.
But where properly employed by
an expert, it is claimed that the
water is rendered as clear as
crystal and perfectly wholesome.
In several cities tests have been
made in large reservoirs, with
the result that all dangerous
Natter was rendered harmless,
and the water was made pure
and sweet. In almost every
large reservoir there accumu1ates
a green vegetable growth that
harbors animalculae. There was
such a reservoir at Frankfort, XIV.
The Bordeaux mixture was put
into it. In very short while the
water was pure and clear, and
| all the dangerous germs had
been eliminated. 1t is explained
that the mixture unites with the
parasites and the a1gea, or green
Shiny substance, and all of the
germs die, and together with the
slime, sink to the bottom, and
the water is then pure and clear
as crystal. The algea furnishes
food for mosquitoes. The solu-
ton destroys the food, which
means the destruction of the
mosquitoes. Polluted water
supplies have caused epid emics
of typhoid in Philadelphia, at
Cornell University. and elsewhere
during the past year. If this
claim of the expert of the Agricu1-
tural department is we'll founded,
a very long step forward has
been taken in the preservation
Of the public health.
Bordeaux mixture is a solution
of sulphate of copper (b1uestone),
lime and water. Six pounds of
pulverized bluestone and four
pounds of unslaked lime, it is
said, will make seventy-five gal
Ions of the solution, and this
proberly diluted will be sufficient
quantity to rid a township of it's
fever gems and mosquitoes. The
department, it is said; made its
discovery of the efficiency of the
Bordeau mixture in Graduating
germs and mosquitoes while ex-
perimenting in Georgia. During
the current spring and the COM
ing summer, the experiments
will be continued. Meanwhile
the health commissioner of New
York city is looking into the mat
ter, and experiments may be
conducted at Ithica and Philadel-
phia. The experiments will be
watched with interest in all parts
of the country.-Ex.

THE TARIFF AND TRUSTS.
Protection IL q Direct Incentive to
the Formation Of COmbines.

u
Tariff reform is one of the cardinal
principles of the Democratic faith. and
the necessity for it was never greater
than ut the present time. 1t should be
undertaken at once in the interest of
all our people.
many of its rates and. as to them ut
least, unjustly and oppressively bur-
dens the people. 1t secures to domes-
tic manufacturers, singly or in combf.
nation, the privilege of eXacting eX.
cessive prices ut home and prices far
above the level Of sales made regular
ly by them abroad with profit. thus
giving q bounty to foreigners at the
expense Of our own people. Its un-
just taxation burdens the people gen.
orally, forcing them to pay excess
i've prices for food, fuel, clothing and
other necessaries of life 1t levies du-
ties on many articles not normally I'M
ported in any considerable amount
which are made extensively at home,
for which the most extreme protec-
ZIONIST would hardly justify protective
taxes and which in large amounts are
exported. Such duties have been and
will continue to be n direct incentive
to the formation of huge industrial
combinations, which, secure from for
eign competition, are enabled to stitle
domestic competition and practically
to monopolize the home market.
It contains many duties imposed for
the express purpose only, as was open
" avowed, of furnishing basis for
reduction by means Of reciprocal trade
treaties. which the Republican admin
istration, impliedly at least, promised
to negotiate. Having on this promise
secured the increased duties, the Re-
publican party leaders, spurred on by
protected interests, defeated the
treaties negotiated by the executive,
and now these same interests cling to
the benefit of these duties which the
people never intended they should have
and to which they have no moral right.
Even now the argument most fire.
quently urged in behalf Of the Dingley
tariff and against tariff reform general
" is the necessity of caring for our in
fant industries. Many Of these indus
tries after hundred years of lusty
growth are looming up as Industrial
giants. In their case at least the Ding
ley tariff invites combination and mo-
nopoly and gives justification to the
ef of trusts.-Judge Parker.

TREND IN NEW YORK.
Every Indication Points to the Vic.
tory of the Democracy.


There can be do doubt that the Re
publican managers feel the chances are
against them in New York state, says
the Atlanta Constitution. They are
making and putting out the usual elab-
crate claims that their national ticket
is certain to carry there but they
show by the energetic character of the
work that they are doing elsewhere
that their chief hope is that they may
carry the other doubtful states even If
they lose New York.
But the experience of the past has
shown that the result in the country at
large has been very materially affected
by the popular impression of the trend
Of the campaign in New York. Per-
haps there is no reason why this should
be so, but the fact is that in recent
years the country has always gone
with New York.
It was so in 1876, when Mr. Tilden
won, though subsequently, denied his
rights; it was so in $780, when Garfield
was elected; it was so in 1884, when
Cleveland was elected by so emphatic
majority that he could not be count
ed out. and it has been SO ever since.
The country has gone With New York.
With Democratic chances. confessed
~ the best in New York, why should
the Democrats not go into the active
work of the campaign, practically Just
at its incipiency. with courage and con-
fldence? And, no matter how big the
handicap may be on the surface, why
should they not have every reason to
feel that the defeat of Roosevelt and
his party Is going to be accomplished?

RULE OF CENTRALIsM.
Lays a Heavy Burden Upon tn
Earnings of I4Qlloc.

1AyW kteaVy bufuCn UPON VRC
Earnings Of Labor.
Judge Parker's letter of acceptance,
though calm and dignifed, will stir the
country even more profoundly than
did his famous telegram announcing
his firm and irrevocable adherence to
the gold Standard says the New
York Herald Qnd). Its calmness Is
the calmncss of power, like that Of the
oceanic tide. 1t forcibly recalls Mr..
Cleveland's letter Of acceptance pub
lished on Sept. q, 1892.
AS great but conservative tribune
Of the people, which the author Of this
statesmanlike letter now shows him
self to be, his strong protests against
the oppression Of monopoly and the
subversion Of constitutional govern
ment and law by audacious and arro-
giant extremists of Imperialism will
have immensely greater weight with
all independent voters because the
statements evidently emanate from Il
man who soberly weighs his words In
| the nice balance of judicial accuracy
and are supported by irrefutable facts.
He backs up his exposition Of the enor-
nous burden of Republican taxation
by adducing from the governments
own statistics the flightful increase
| Of taxation during the last four years
Of Republican rule. And his arraign-
ment of the Roosevelt administration
for its revel Of extravaganza and its
mammoth expenditures must arouse
the most torpid voter to the perils of
Imperialism, militarism and an ever
growing centralism that drain heavily
upon the earnings Of labor and Of all
classes Of the people.

QUESTIONS FOR VOTERS.
Judge Parker Defines the Issues OF
the Campaign.

Judge Parker Defines the Issues OF
the Campaign.
In his letter Of acceptance Judge
Parker is neither so voluminous nor
vehement as his adversary. He calmly
discusses the great issues before the
public us he sees them and in summing
up puts the following questions to the
American voter for an answer at the
polls in November:
"Shall economy Of administration be
demanded or shall extravaganza be en-
couraged?
"Shall the wrongdoer be brought to
bay by the people or must justice wait
upon political oligarchy?
"Shall our government stand for
equal opportunity or for special privi-
lege?
"Shall it remain a government of law
OF become one of individual caprice?
"Shall we cling to the rule Of the
people or shall we embrace beneficent
despotism?"
In these questions the judge defines
what he believes to be the grave issues
before the American people. Each is
based on conditions that now exist or
are threatened. The people, after all,
render the verdict, and these questions
should command their serious atten-
ton.
This letter needs no extended com.
ment. 1t is not involved or obscure. II
is plea of an earnest man.
All American citizens, whether Re.
publicans or Democrats. should read it.
The issue is now made up, and every
Democrat should go to work to make
victory certain.-New York American.
Courier Democrat., 1904-10-20
The Pre.ident.. Dilem ma.

What will President Roosevelt do
about it? He enthusiastically advocates
a large army and just as earnestly ap-
peals for many families and large fam
lilies. Yet here comes the major gener-
al of the army with the recommends
ton that officers be denied the prfvi-
leges of matrimony until they can show
their ability to support family. Gen
eral Corbin asserts that officers cannot
marry on their salaries Therefore the
larger the army the greater the degree
Of race suicide? The president has no
other course open than to recommend
the increase of officers salaries by at
least so per cent.-Columbia State.
Courier Democrat., 1904-10-20
A Bird In the Hand.

The Republican candidate for vice
president still holds on to his seat in
the United States senate. He and his
political associates have good reason
to fear that the Democrats will carry
the legislature Of Indiana along with
the electors for president. In that case
the Democrats would elect two SEN
ators from Indiana should Candidate
Fairbanks resign, as the term of Sen
ator Beveridge will expire on the 4th
Of next March. If Senator Fairbanks
had the confidence which he preteDds
in regard to Indiana lie would have re-
signed his seat long ago. But with him
a bird in the hand is worth two in the
bush.-Philadelph Record.
Courier Democrat., 1904-10-20
The people,. Burdens.

The central feature of Judge Parker's
mastery letter is his bold exposure of
the tremendous burdens imposed on
the American people by the Republican
system of high protecdonism and the
fragrant exclusiveness Of the trust fos-
tering Dingley tariff, against which
even many leading Republicans have
protested and which because of its dis
astrous effects on our manufactures
and export trade led President McKin-
ley In his last address to declare, ''The
period of exclusiveness is past. New
York Herald.
Courier Democrat., 1904-10-20
A Waste of Paper.

Senator Fairbanks has made his per-
functory contribution to the literature
Of the campaign in a letter Of accept
ance of the Republican nomination for
vice president. It is not as long as the
letter of Mr.. Roosev elt, and 1t is not as
lively. But why should he write it at
aH7 A postal card with the short mes
sege, Accepted with thanks" would
cover the situation.-Boston Post Qnd.).

The New York state Tickets.

That the New York state Democratic
ticket is stronger than Odell's ticket is
also unquestionable. The unanimous
and enthusiastic action of the conven-
ton in nominating the candidate for
governor gives assurance of united
support in the election. The important
question is whether Herrick can also
secure the support of the independents
and dissatisfied Republicans. On that
question largely turns the position of
New York in the final presidential
Plain Dealer.

Any discussion of the issues would
surely bring to light the truth concern

American goods at home and the ex-

A Great Occasion.
j. &. WYsoR.

The people of our State have long
been under heavy debt to Union The
illogical Seminary, Richmond, Virginia
In the course OF its eighty years of his
tory it has enriched the lives of our
people through the work OF the minis
ters, who have received their training
Mt tins venerable institution. Age has
not impaired its vitality, but has added
strength and beauty TO it. 1t is now
showing its appreciation of the needs
Of our times by organizing and con-
Quoting n great Conference on "The
Bible and Christian Work." at Rich
mond, May IL, u, 13, Immediately
following the close of the session. 1t is
Offering its own resources of learning.
and is bringing, and is bringing the cx-
perience of trained workers TO the
churches directly.
Among the speakers on this notable
occasion may be mentioned the fol-
lowing: Rev. DIS. q. b. Stricken. w.
w. Moore, Egbcrt w. Smith, j. f.
Cannon, Il. II. Rice, j. Wilbur Chap
man, the distinguished Presbyterian
Evangelist, of New York, and Mr.. c..
V. ViclIrey, Secretary of the Young
Peoples Missionary Movement. Of New
York. The music will be led by the
Rev. \. Rowbotham. 1t is hoped that
DIR. Stalker, of Scotland, will also be
present and speak.
Such vital and timely subjects as
these will be masterfully discussed:
"The Bible and the Home" The
Bible Message from God" The At
onement as a SatiJ Faction of Gods Law
and the Human Conscience" "The
Land and the Book" Isaiah, His time
and Message" "Thc Evangelistic Pas
tor" "The Elder, 1.-The Deacon" "The
Bible for the People" "The Valve Of
Special Evangelistic Effort" and in
dividual Work rs an Evangclistic
Agency"
Special attention will be given TO the
singing of the grand old hymns of the
church, together with the best Of the
new ones. Most earnest effort will be
nude to develop and increase interest
in prayer.
1t is believed that large number of
people will avail themselves Of this
unusual opportunity for gaining infor-
nation and receiving Inspiration for the
struggle and heat of life.

THE BOOKS.

The agony is over, and we are to
have the multiple list of text Books for
another four years.
1t would be some satisfaction to
know what reasons the State Bolrd
have for refusing TO relieve the pub
lie schools of this burden. 1t seemed
to us, so far as we had opportunity to
judge, that the people were almost
universally in favor OF a single list.
There is lingering suspicion, Just or
unjust, that the pressure brought to
bear by the book companies, had some
thing to do with the decision of the
Board. AT any rate, therell be an
election after while.
