In all its varieties, pneumonia is

Twea.y years ago even thar
much was rnkno~n. Now it is an
undisputed fact that a majority
of cases of this most deadly OF
acute diseases are caused by q
germ known as the pneumococcus
or. as it goes about in pairs, the
dipplococcus pneumoniae. That
there are other bacilli which cause
pneumonia is also admitted. How
many different varieties are in this
class is question, but several of
them have been discovered beyond
cavil.
Pneumonia" says a distin-
guished authority, s'is caused by
weakening of the lungs due to con-
gestion, allowing the inroad of
germs which were in the body be-
FORE"
Investigations have apparently
established the fact that all the
micro-Organisms which cause
pneumonia enter through the
respiratory organs. The bacilli
are found in large quantities in
the mouths and noses and breath
ing passages of persons in a nor
NAL condition of health. In fact.
according to Chicago physician
who made many tests, pneumonia
producing germs exist in the bod
les of 45 out of every 100 persons,
under average normal conditions.
When pneumonia develops in
one lung or both, as result of a
cold or because of some other de-
pressing fact, it means that the
patient is in such a reduced state
that the micro-organisms can take
hold and multiply. 1t is evident,
therefore, that maintaining the
general health is the first lesson
of prevention.

HIS LAST BATTLE.

After an illness Of SIX days
General Joseph Wheeler, the
famous Confederate cavalry lead
GER and Brigadier-General of the
United States since the war with
Spain, died Of pneumonia. The
general died at the home of his
sister, Mrs. Sterling Smith,
Thursday afternoon and was SO
years of age at the time of death
In many ways he was a very re-
1narkable man.
Joseph Wheeler, soldier and
statesman, Was born at Augusta,
Georgia, September 10, 1886, of
New England parentage. He
graduated from West Point in
1859, and first saw active service
In Kansas and New Mexico in
Indian warfare. He resigned
his position in the United States
Army early in 1861 and was ap-
pointed First Lieutenant of Ar
tillery in the Confederate Army.
In the same year he was COM
1nissioned Colonel of the Nine
Seenth Alabam Infantry. At
the battle of Shiloh he served
with conspicuous bravery, hav-
ing two horses shot under him,
and earned the title, Fighting
Joe" In July, 1862, he was
placed in command of the caval-
ry Of the Army of the Missis-
esipEi. After serving in numer-
Gus campaigns with distinction,
Inc was commissioned Brigadier-
General, October 80, 1862, and
became Major-General early in
1868. At Chickamauga h
fought the most desperate caval-
ry battle of the war. He was
MADE Lieutenant-General early
in 1856.
He was elected on the demo-
scratic ticket from Alabama to
sthe forty-seventh Congress and
was steadily reelected serving
when the war with Spain broke
out. He offered his services and
was appointed Major-General of
Volunteers, in April, 1898. He
served at San Juan and before
Santiago, and was appointed
senior member of a commission
to negotiate peace. After his
return to Alabama, he was unani-
mously renominated for Con-
zgress and received the votes of
all the political factions of his
district.
General Wheeler was married
in 1866 at Wheeler, Alabama, to
Daniella,> daughter of Richard
and Lucy W. Jones. She died
May 19, 1896, leaving two sons,
Joseph and Thomas H., and four
daughters, Lucy Louise, Annie
Early, Julia Hull, and Carrie
-Peyton. Of these Thomas H.
was drowned in 1898.

IMPARTIAL TRADE.

It is difficult to see why con-
sutton Of any kind with the. Ger
man ambassador is necessary or
desirable. So far as it is known
our government was not consult
ed in regard to the denunciation
of the existing treaty. It is not
necessary to consult Germany in
respect to the legislation which
the German action will entail up
on US. We know what Germany
will propose. 1t will be to grant
US a certain concession on GER
tain articles of our export, pro-
vided that we discriminate in her
favor against other nations.
Well, we won't do it under any
circumstances, and there will,
therefore, be nothing to discuss.
The American plan is impartial
trade with all countries, and we
will not depart from that plan
unless compelled to do so. Of
course, however, we shall not
patiently submit to discrirnina-
tion against our products, but
our course is perfectly plain. 1t
is to provide by general law that
therates Of the Dingley act shall
be increased by, say, so per cent
on all goods coming from coun-
tries in which our products are
Disseminated against under any
pretext whatsoever. Of course,
some commodities would be ex-
cepted. Germany continues our
cotton on the free list because
she wants our cotton. There are
probably articles coming from
Germany-potash, tor example
on which we do not desire to
increase duties. The work of
the executive departments, be-
fore congress meets, is to pre-
pare a list of those commodities
on which we do not care to raise
the duties. We do not, however,
see that the German Embassador
can be of any service in prepar-
ing such a list, and if he cannot
help in that, he cannot help in
anything, for there is no other
preliminary work to be done.
We do not wish for any CONNER
cial war with Germany, but if
she insists on having one we
cannot help it. We shall not de-
part from the principle Of i'm
partial trade. San Francisco
