MALARIA AND MOSQUITOES.
Disorder Reported to Appear Some
times Where Those Baneful In
sects Cannot Be Found.

Since the now generally accept.
ed theory that the germs of ma
laria are conveyed to human sub
jects by mosquitoes of Il partic-
ular genus was first advanced
there have been occasional re-
ports of the appearance Of the dis.
order where no representative of
that group of insects could be
found. In some instances, per

the disease while away from
home. Still other explanations
may be suggested without upset.
ting the theory just mentioned.
1t appears, however, that once in
awhile the mystery is accounted
for by imperfect observations.
The mischief-maker is there, but
isnotdetected. An interesting and
significant confession is made in
the Journal of Hygiene by DR..
John Chopper.
lie says that in q previous arti-
Gle he stated that, though he had
resided in Acre, Palestine, he had
never been able to find a single
Anopheles. Recently, however,
his successor, DIR. Gould, having
under his care two native boys
with malaria, found Anopheles in
their room. 1t 10 uncertain where
they were bred, but the previous
winter was exceptionally wet, the
water coming 10 within half a mile
OF the town, where malaria is com
paratively rare, though common
enough a mile away. At Shefa
Amr, three hours from Acre, sit
uated on low chalk hills which rise
well above the plain and are re-
mote from running water, two
English women had malaria, and
though no adult Anopheles were
found, the larvae we're discovered
in an open cistern.
At Nablous, also, DIR. Gould
found Anopheles larvae in a shall
low cistern which supplied water
to the parsonage, and last year,
without special apparatus, Crop
per found nine Anopheles larvae
among a great many Culex and
Stegomyia fasciata larvae; and
more recently two Anopheles
larvae have been found with many
Culex larvae at the new hospital.
Though, considering the great
number of the patients, malaria is
very infrequent, it is, neverthe.
less, quite we'll known in the town,
and among the English women al
the mission, a few yards away, a
few cases have occurred.
Within four hours of Nablousi is
the Jordan valley, notorious for
it's unhealthfulness, and within
nine hours is Beisan, than which
few places are more unhealthy.
From both of these localities pa
tients and visitors come to Ma
blous, and thus the stock of mala-
rial parasites, which otherwise
would become exhausted, is re.
newed. So it is probably with
most, if not all the places in the
tropics which are not essentially
malarious; that is, where the An
opheles does not occur abund-
antly.

An illogical Demand.
The Commoner.

Inc COmmOner.
The reorganizers are saying that New
York ought to dictate the platform and
choose the candidate because New York Is
expected to furnsh the woes necessary to
elect president. Well, she has furnished
the candidate and the platform several
times, 1868, 1872, and 1888 for instance,
when she did not furnish the electoral
votes She is now claiming recognition to
the exclusion If states which have fur
nished electoral votes since she did. If
the voice of section is to be potent IN
proportion as it furnishes votes, why did
the upper part of the state override the
wishes of the New York City Democrats :
Whenever New York state furnishes a
Democratic majority it comes from the
city of New York, not from the upper
counties. 1t is little inconsistent for the
Hill-Parker combine to insist that New
York must dominate the national conven-
ton because she expects to furnish the
votes, and then shut out the New York
City Democrats who alwaye furnish the
New York State majority. But New York
logic is never logical in politics.

INSlNcERE AND INCONSISTENT.

The Virginia Democracy met in State
convention last week, and again made
conspicuous its insincerity and inconsis-
tency. In the opening paragraph of its
platform the convention declared: 1--WE
hold that all power is vested in the people;
that government was instituted for their
equal end common benefit" These declar
ations are taken from the venerable and
venerated Bill of Rights, and were copied
into the new Constitution recently fastened
upon the people of Virginia by the most
outrageous usurpatiOn. These fundamental
truths of the Bill of Rights were nuiii6ed
by succeeding provisions of the State Con-
stitution and by the proclamation Of that
instrument which the Democratic party
had unreservedly pledged should be sub
milted to the people for ratification or re-
jeclion.
Not only has that power vested in the
people been violated by the proclamation
of the Constitution, but it has been in
vaded aud impaired by the PRONUNCIATION
of suffrage law that was intended to de-
prive and has deprived many thou-ands
of honest men Of tie elective franchise.
Before a great while the voice of the
people will be practically hushed by the
constitutional restrictions that have been
placed upon suffrage. The understand
ing clause" has made political mutes of
many thousands Of voters, and the poll
tax qualification, supplemental by the
now operative educational qualification for
registration, will in a few more years still
the voice of the common people. Then all
political power will be vested in what the
Virginia Democracy is pleased to call 1.-The
best people,"
In a republican government all power
should be vested in the people. There was
time when it was so in this Common
wealth, but that time has departed, for a
season only, we trust. After the record
which the Virginia Democracy has made
in the way of obstructiDg, restricting and
constructing the power of the people, it is
absurdly impairment for that party to
Continue to assert and put in its creed the
grand Old doctrine of the Bill Of Rights:
can power is vested in, and consequently
derived from, the people"

OREGON LARGELY REPUBLICAN.

On Monday of last week an election was
Aeld in the State Of Oregon for the election
of two Congressman and some Stale Of
fcers. The result of the election is highly
encouraging to Republicans and CORE
spondingly discouraging to the Democrats.
In 1902 the Democrats elected the Gov
ernor of the State by small plurality. In
1896 McKinley's plurality was only 2,l00
but in 1900 it was increased to $4,000. At
the recent election both of the Republican
candidates for Congress were reelected by
heavily increased majorties. Congressman
Hermann, who only received 1000 major
ity at special election held last year, IN
creased that majority to 5000 at the cleo
ton last week. Congressman Williamson
got majority of $4,000 in bis district; and
the combined majorities of the two Repub-
lcan candidates is something over 20, 900.
The situation is not one that will give
much comfort to Democrats in other
States.

1t is probable that much of the uncer-
tainty and conjecture as to the cause of
Mayor McLane's death would have been
cleared up if a properly conducted inquest
had been held by the coroner. In all cases
f sudden or violent death not only the
relatives Of the victim, but the community
at large, are entitled to have an official
investigation into the surrounding rcum.
stances and definite official finding ss to
the cause of death. Notwithstanding
much that is said to the contrary, the cor
oner has his uses, and thorough inquiry
in cases of this kind is one of them. Wit
nesses should be summoned, sworn and ex.
amined, not necessarily in the presence Of
the body, and jury should pass upon the
facts as disclosed. In this way there is a
fair chance for the whole truth to be
brought to light, setting suspicion, crimi-
nation, theorizing and scandal at rest.
A case of this gravity and importance
was entitled to something more than a
summary and superficial visit by the coro-
ner to the premises, the questioning in
secret of few witnesses and the promul-
CATION oh.hand of an opinion that it was
suicide.

only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition Of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube is inhamed you have a
rumbllmg sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness Is the
result, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inhamed condition Of the mucous sur

Baltimore Sun (Dem).
Organized labor in the United States
should quickly and emphatically express
condemnation of the murder of non-union
miners or "strike- breakers" last Monday
in the Cripple Creek mining region of Col
orado. The American people sympathlze
with every legitimate and reasonable effort
of workingmen-ether organized or unor-
ganized-to improve the conditions Of
their employment. But they draw the
line on anarchy and assassination. lie is
the worst enemy of unionism who advises
recourse to violence and law-breaking, no
matter how great may be the provocaton
for transcending the limits of the law. No
more effective method of alternating the
good will of the people and arraying them
in antagJnism to organized labor could be
devised than the denial by the unions Of
the right of any citizen to work for liv-
ing under conditions which are acceptable
to him and to his employer. To emphasize
and enforce this denial of a fundamental
right of every American by assassination
and terrorism on a comprehensive scale
would be Incidentally harmful to organ
lied labor, as we'll as an insolent challenge
to law and authority which would not be
