Emergency Messages.

They are funny little things, these
emergency messages Of Governor
Sometimes they're very, very good, and
sometimes they re $3.50. Governor HIG-
oINs's emergency messages Of impor-
lance we're three. The first, among
other things, insisted that the consumers
of gas in New York city should pay but
rs cents a thousand, the second declared
that the tax on savings banks surplus
should be repealed, and the third spoke
up for the passage Of the Corrupt Prac-
tises bill
Result Of the Governors three emer-
gency messages: The consumer Of gas
in New York city did not get the rs cent
rate, but instead the Odell Republican
machine in the State gets a State Gas
Commission, which can be used as a
political engine, like the State Tax Com
mission; the savings banks tax was not
repealed, and the Corrupt Prac.isos bill
was not passed.
Time Of the emergency messagesi Or,
az least, at what hour in the life Of the
Legislature were the Governors emer-
gency messages evolved? The one which
resulted in the Odell State Commission
was in ample time to accomplish its
object. The emergency messages call
ing for tho repeal Of the savings banks
tax and for the passage Of the Corrupt
Practises bill were sent 10 the Legislature
forty-eight hours before the Senate and

Bedlam would be a Sunday school term

the Republican Senate passed both the
savings banks tax repeal and the Cor
rupt Practises bills, and they were there
upon lost in the Republican Assembly.
But the Senate and the Assembly had
ample time in which to honor Governor
HIGGRs's emergency message concern
ing the gas business which has resulted
in the Odell State Gas Commission.

actly four months. The Republican

Neither Gutter Nor Traitor.

When the Hon. SAMUEL FEssENDEN
withdrew, last week, from the contest
for the United States Senatorship in
Connecticut, some persons inclined to
the belief that he had quit through fear
Of defeat and to avoid a second drlbbing
at the hands Of the Hon. MORGAN G.
BULKELKY. This explanation Of his
conduct was rejected Immediately by
us and by all others who knew the per-
sistency and grit that are characteristic
OF this Yankee statesman
Il now appears that Mr.. FRssENDEE's
withdrawal was, as we believed at the
time. a strategic move calculated for
the purpose Of defeating Senator BULKK-
LEY's machine. which supported ex-
Governor MCLEAN.
The election Of Representative BRAN
DRoEE a. Senator in the opinion Of many
competent Connecticut observers, will
result in the creation Of q new machine
The Buckley organization IL described
as -hogging the whole thing That is
the commonest complaint against po-
litical machines, but Mr.. BRANpEoKE's
friends declare that they viii build an or
.EaniEation against which the charge Of
nogeing can never be brought. They are
preparing for a political millennium.
Mr.. FEssENDEN, II appears, might
have grathed his ambition 10 enter the
United States Senate had he been will

Another Chance for the Governor


II the Stevens committee and its
able counsel, Mr. HUGHES, thought that
the establishment Of a State Commits
sion OF Gas and Electricity insured
seventy-five cent gas for private COM
umers in Manhattan, why did they
take the trouble 20 draw a special bill
enacting seventy-hve cent gas and
make it one Of the seven alternative and
reformatory measures2
II Governor HIGGINS and the Repub-
llcan managers in the Legislature really
regarded the State commission bill and the
special seventy-hve cent bill as equally
effective for the same purpose, why did
they make a show Of pushing the sew
enty-hve cent bill, when the commission
bill alone would have sufficed?
II the Albany agents Of monopoly
we're as afraid Of the State commission
bill as they were Of the seventy five
cent bill, why did they concentrate their
persuasive eloquence OF tainted money
upon the defeat Of the latter, while al
lowing the former TO go through by a
vote of % to 20? And why did all hands
concerned celebrate as a tremendous
victory for the gas monopoly the defeat
of the seventy five cent bill, if the State
commission bill promised to produce the
same RESULT
Does Governor HIGoINs want to prove
that his desire for cheaper gas in Man
haitian is as strong and as sincere as
Mayor McCLELLAN's2 Does he want to
wipe out the scandal Of Thursday last?
The way is yet open TO him.
An extra session Of the Legislature is
10 be called by the Governor, probably
for a date prior TO the middle Of next
month, 20 dispose Of the case Of Justice
HOOKER. Governor HIoGINs is already
credited with the intention Of recon-
mending TO the Legislature for consider
ation at this extraordinary session at
least one other subject, the creation Of a
special commission 70 examine and report
upon the whole question Of State taxa
ton. A bill for that purpose was sched-
uled for passage at the late session, and
was forgotten or buried in the stress and
confusion Of last week 1t is within the
constitutional power Of the Governor TO
recommend as many subjects as he
deems proper; but the Legislature at
the called session can consider no sub
ject which he does not assign TO it.
Here Is the last chance Of the Governor,
before the next municipal election, to
prove his political courage and the sim
cerity Of his professed sohcitude for the
interests Of the citizens Of New York as
against monopoly and e1tortion. He
has the same power 70 include the de-
teated seventy-fve cent gas bill in his
all as he has TO make the forgotten
X investigation bill one Of the subjects
the special session. He can remedy
, scandalous failure Of last week by
same process which he uses to cor
rFthe innocent oversight Of last week.
Hsan compel the Senate to vote again
onle seventy-hve cent gas bill. Does
anSne now doubt what the result Of
anoer roll call in the Senate on that
meare, in full daylight, would be2
Hean but will he?

Leading Authority on Dread Dis

Vienna, April 4.-Professor Weichel-
baum, recognized as the first authority
on cerebro-sp spinal meningitis, which
showed it's existence in 1887 and. which
is called after him, Whereabouts cere-
bro spinalis Weichelbaum, says:
+ MY experience is that the disease prin-
cipa1ly attacks children and youthful in
dividuals. It, of course, differs widely in
its manifestations. In many cases death
ensues after few days, in others after
three and even four weeks. .-
Frequent recoveries have been made,
but with disastrous consequences, such
as paralysis or; deafness. Science is by
no means satisfied in regard to the man
ner Of infection. 7 have ascertained that
In. most cases the EXETER of the disease
enters thru the nose. The disease spreads
from the nose to the meninges (mem-
branes of the brain.) ... ~
| This fact gives an important hint for
preventing infection. Patients should not
| only be isolated but strict care should be
| taken that the matter secreted does not
come in contact with clothing, whereby
it may be: carried elsewhere. Handker-
chiefs used by the patient should be
| carefully disinfected. .r' :..'.' -

AfA 1917 West 33rd street, Minneapolis,
as follows:
81 suffered for years with pain in
the small of my back and right side. It
interfered often with my domestic and
social duties and never supposed that
I would be cured as the doctors medi.
cine did not seem to help me any.
fortunately a member of our Order
advised me to try Peruna and gave it such
high praise that I decided to try it. AL
though started in with little faith, felt
so n,uch better in week that felt en-
couraged.
II took it faithfully for seven weeks
| and am happy indeed to be able to say
| that am entirely cured
"Words fail to express my gratitude.
Perfect health once more is the best
thing could wish for, and thanks to
Peruna, enjoy that now.'
| Pain in the back or in the right side
| How often a physician hears this com.
plant:
! Over and over we hear women say: Il
have Il pain in the small Of my back.
have pain in my right side, just below
the ribs
These symptoms indicate pelvic or alb.
dominal catarrh.
i They indicate that the bowels are not
acting properly-that the liver is out of
order-that the pelvic organs are con-
gested.
Pelvic catarrh-that is the name for IL.
u Peruna cures pelvic catarrh, when all
J of these symptoms disappear.
The catarrh may be all IN the abdomi-
nal organs, when it would be properly
called abdominal catarrh.
At any rate, it is one of those cases Of
internal catarrh which can be reached
only by course of treatment with Pc
runa.
