One of the most important conven- tions that has been held in Washing ton for a long time is now in session. It is the joint meeting of the Associa- ton of American Physicians and the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. It will be recollected that this associa- tion was the outgrowth of the com mission appointed by the president to study the subject. It has had the effect of bringing some of the best minds in the medical profession to the study of consumption and has re- suited in the first organized fight that has ever been made against the great white plague. It was pointed out by one of the speakers this week that the ravages of tuberculosis in the United States in single year wipe out more people and cause a greater amount of loss and suffering, save perhaps the actual money loss, than the Galveston flood, the San Francisco earthquake and the Balti- more and Chicago fires combined. Dr Billings, in addressing the con vention, said frankly that the medi- cal profession had come to the con clusion that there was no specific drug for the cure of tuberculosis. The medical profession had been twenty-five years in arriving at that conclusion, and the average layman was now twenty-five years behind the medical profession and still chung to the idea that there was some specific against the disease. Dr Billings said, and the convention agreed with him. that the only hope for the work lay. in a broadcast campaign of education among the people. The masses must be shown the real facts. namely. that tuberculosis was neither hereditary nor contagious, though it was com municable from a consumptive to we'll person if the most sanitary life was not led and the greatest care taken against spreading the media of contagion. namely, the sputum from the consumptive patient. If this were done. and it could easily be done. there was no danger to be ap- prehended and the plague could he stamped out.

THE MIKADo'S HOME LIFE,
Enjoyed in Quiet Fashion by the Elm - peror with the Empress lE- II Alone.

It is we'll known that the emperor of Japan finds great pleasure and com fort in the society of the empress, says the Worlds Work. When the days work is over-and his majesty's working day, beginning at dawn and frequently continuing till midnight, is a strenuous one-he repairs to her apartments, and they talk over things very fully and confidentially. It is her majesty's delight to find new inter- q sests and pleasures for these moments of relaxation, to use her woman's wit to draw the emperor's mind from tbe cares of state to pleasant and cheerful subjects. A new book, a picture, all album such as the one sent to her ma jesty in commemoration of the Japa- , nese play given in New York last spring-these things are set aside for the emperor's half hour of rest and recreation. Then the attendants with draw, the only one who refuses to be dismissed being the emperor's little Yorkshire terrier, venerable court lady now some l7 years old, who never leaves her masters side. With the as- surance of impunity she jumps on the empress lap and listens to converse tions which no one else Is permitted to hear. It is on record that one day she fell asleep there unnoticed: her majesty wished to rise. but ere she could do SO the emperor cried, Do not move, You will wake the dog; " whereupon the empress subsided, laughing. 10 wait the convenience of the fiuffy tyrant on her knee.

France are remarkably inadequate. Many towns of from 300 to 5000 people have no water supply other than ordinary wells, operated gener- ally by bucket draws instead of pumps, and no fire apparatus except occasionally handforce pump such as is used by contractors.--New Ha- ven Journal and Courier.
 William R. Hearst is going to be d candidate for the governorship of New York this year. unless all signs fail. He will make lively campaign and it may be that he will be elected. Such a result is by no means outside of the possibilities. We think, how ever. that it is not, as the case looks at this moment, probability, unless the other parties are foolish enough to make wholly preposterous nomina- tions. If they do they will deserve to be beaten by Hearst New Bedford Standard.
 Governor Vardamann of Mississip- pi has shown energy and persever- ance in the prosecution of a big gang of white-cappers who four years ago made life burden to the people of three counties. The governor succeed ed in having 3S2 of them indicted, and though at first these men showed a disposition to fight they finally con- cluded that the executive was not to be trified with. The punishment is a fine of S25 and three months inn prisonment in each case.--South Nor walk Sentinel.

MAKES VOTERS OF THE BLACKS

Mississippi, Louisiana, South
Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia
and Alabama have through amend
ed constitutions shut out the ne
gro from voting, through educa-
tional qualifications. This is an
incentive to the negro to get what
some call an education, and when
they do the present constitutional
provisions will not avail. The
question of negro voting will be
more troublesome than it ever was.
AS a rule negroes exhibit more
anxiety to go to school than con-
siderable class of whites. Educa-
ton sufficient to meet the require
ments of the suffrage law does not
make the negro a more valuable or
reliable laborer, but it makes him
a voter. What will the constitu-
ton do with him then? The pres
ent suffrage laws in most Southern
states serve as an incentive to the
negro to qualify himself to vote,
and he is gradually doing that.
If the Sonth thinks it has settled
the question of negro suffrage it is
mistaken. The Republican party,
so far as it's native members are
concerned, is not especially enam-
ored of the negro, but it has always
coddled and used him, and it must
be judged by its performances
rather than by its professions.
Put the Republican party in pow
er in any Southern State today,
and if it felt that it's retention of
State control could be made certain
only by aid of the negro vote, it
would do all in its power to en-.
courage and increase the negro
vote. The Southern white man
does not fear negro domination.
He is not so weak as that. But he
wants in power no political party
which for a long time found its
chief strength and support in the
negro, and which for the sake OF
success and the offices would again
encourage the negro to political
activity.

MR.. wILLlNGHAM A CANDIDATE

Hon. Barlow S. Willingham Of
Forsyth, Ca, has announced his
candidacy for Judge of the Court
of Appeals-the court that was
created recently by an act of the
legislature. The editor of the
Times Recorder has had a long
personal acquaintance with Mr..
Willingham and knows him to be
one of the ablest and most scholar
~ lawyers of the state. He is a
man of unfinching honor and en-
| joys the highest respect and
esteem of all who know him.
Georgia has few men who have his
high political integrity, and the
Times Recorder takes great pleas
ure in commencing him to the vo-
tiers of this section. Mr.. Willing
ham has high appreciation of the
responsibility of the office, and
the ethics of the situation will pre-
clude him entering into any COM
bination. He should be elected to
this Office without a scramble. No
man deserves better the position
than does Barlow S. Willingham
of Monroe.

Germany the Modern Rome.

Let the German people keep a lesson
from antiquity before their eyes Once
before an England and a Germany of
no less different character have con
fronted each other. They were Car
thage and Rome. And old Rome with
its policy of force and power finally
conquered the cash politics of Carthage
and raised itself to the position of tie
first power upon earth. We have lis
torical example when we say that the
German people must return from the
imitation of the un-German Carthagin-
ian British finance policy and must go
back to the ROman-German policy of
power and might. n no other way
can really great Weltpolitil be pro

ourselves ultimately the leading peo-
pie in the world.-Berlin GrenzbOten.

Medical experts are calling the at

OF performing the nose blowing opera
ton in a scientific and hygienic manner
First one nostril and then the other
should be blown without uniue yio-

passages should never be closed at HE
same time If they are INSTRUCTED, as
in the ease Of Il cold, the back of the
throat is filed with compressed air,
and this. together with the discharge
and the microbes which il contains,

tube into the middle ear ana lead to
serious results. \ great authority ON

to blow their noses when suffering

which will commend itself to those in

advice would seem to be that when it is
necessary to blow the nose the blowing
should he done gently-Lond0n Mail.
