Complains Against Grew.

During its investigation of an oyster
tain of the Callow came aboard the Tar
ragon and declared that his crew had
been acting badly. and said that it had
been necessary to discipline them, accord
ing to reports to the bureau of navigation
AS the Tarragon started down the river
the report further says, attention was at
tracted to the CalloW by the crew who
were frantlcaliy waving their coats and
hats and reckoning for the Tarragon to
return. Capt. Dryden boarded the vessel.
He reported that the men told aseries of
narrowing tales of i'll treatment Ii was
at this time the crew begged to be taken
off. Capt. Dryden said
Marshall was warned not TO repeat
the alleged offenses. and was told that
the Tarragon was going to stay in the
vicinity to see that the crew was not
badly treated.
Capt. Dryden's Recommendation.
Capt. Dryden recommended to the de-
partment that the case be taken before
"A United States commissioner immedi-
rely. as he said delay might result III
boodshed. When the Tarragon returned
the next day. the crew had been put
ashore. il was said at the department
presumably to destroy evidence. but the
master was arrested and the members OF
the crew were all rounded up and taken
TO Baltimore, where the case was pre-
scented to a United States commissioners
with the result that Marshall was held
for the grand jury, and, as stated was
released under $1,000 bail.

Plays Minor Part.

The tables also al least suggest the
fact that there is probably little or no
cause for undue excitement i'll regard
to the possible number Of deaths from
the internal use of corrosive mercuric
chloride. and that. granting that condi-
tons in England and this country are
much the same. corrosive mercuric
chloride plays but minor part in the
number of deaths due to ingested poison.
This fact IS further emphasized when
we realize the very widespread use, and,
incidentally at least. abuse, of tablets
of corrosive mercuric chloride and the
comparatively few fatalities on record
resulting from its internal administra-
ton. Even a careful search of the
literature since the report of the case
at Macon. Ga, shows that possibly
fifteen, certainly not over twenty deaths
have been reported from the ingestion
of corrosive mercuric chloride since
that time. When we remember that in
the registration area of the United
States upward of 5000 deaths from
acute poisoning are reported annually
even these apparently large figures are
suggestive being comparable with
those included in the report of the
registrar general for England and
Wales.

Better Than Legislation.

As an argument for including in the
Pharmacopoeia of the United States
an official tablet of corrosive mercuric
chloride. rather than enacting legisla-
ton to compel the uniformity in the
shape. size, color and odor of all tablets
containing corrosive mercuric chloride it
has been pointed out that inclusion in the
pharmacopoeia would not in any way
interfere with the legitimately estab-
llshed trade of manufacturers but
would tend 10 discourage the sale and
use OF SUCH preparations and bring
about the gradual popuiarization OF tn.
official tablet
If. in addition to this, it were prac-
ticable TO induce manufacturers proper
" to label all of their preparations SO
as 10 indicate the presence of any high
IN toxic substance, and then to sug-
gest TO purchasers of tablets of this
kind the need for keeping them apart
or in such a way that they coald not
readily be mistaken for other non
toxic preparations. little or no addi-
ti0nal legislation would be necessary.
unless 1T We're TO restrict newspapers
from publishing unnecessary details in
regard to the nature and kind of poison
used in cases of accidental or inten-
tional poisoning"

Favors Safeguards.

In addition TO specific agitation for
the proper Labelling of all preparations
containing poisonous substances. the most
promising innovation is the suggestio
that type form of corrosive mercuric
chloride tablet or pastille be introduced
In the Pharmacopeia Of the United States
with a view of providing adequate safe
guards to prevent accidental poisonings.
he writes While the suggestions that
have been made for this purpose are
many and varied. il would appear that,
I'm view Of the rapidly growing inter
the world. it might be desirable to secure
International uniformity in regard to
preparations of this type.
1t has been proposed. unless specific
and valid objections could be offered, to
adopt for inclusion in the pharmaco-
peid OF the United States the descrip-
tton of mercuric chloride pastilles in
Guided in the German pharmacopeia.
This latter pharmacopeia provides that
paStilleS of mercuric chloride consist of
equal parts Of corrosive mercuric chic
ride and sodium chloride and requires
that the pastilles be colored bright red
with aniline dye, have a cylindrical
shape and be twice long as thick
These tablets or pastilles must be
wrapped individually in black paper,
bearing the German equivalent of the
word poison in white letters The
weight of a tablet must be stated and
the wrapped tablet is to be dispensed
only in suitable glass bottles or tubes

Sulzer Assaulted For Virtues, Not
For Faults.

For Faults.
Quite regardless of Governor Sui
zer's mistakes or faults, it is an I'M
doubted fact that he has shown
high courage and great virtue as
Governor of the State of New York
during the brief period of his in
cumbency; and it is further true
that the bitterness of the attacks
upon him which have led to the
Impeachment proceedings have been
precisely in proportion to his exer-
else of political courage and public
vistue in the discharge of his duties.
However great or small his misdo-
ings, his only fault in the eyes of
those who are seeking his downfall
lies in the fact that he has been,
from their standpoint, to use their
own word, an impossible" Govern
or; that is to say, it has been i'm
possible to get him to obey Charlie"
Murphy, whether by threatenings
or cajolings.
The Legislature had adjourned on
May 3, having refused to pass the
Statewide primary bill that the
Democratic platform had promised
the people, and that Governor Sui
zer demanded. Although there was
little hope of getting any reversal
of its action from the present Legis-
lature, Governor Sulzer called a
special session, and set June Is for
its beginning. The Governor took
the stump and attempted to bring
popular pressure TO bear upon
members of the Legislature. But
Murphy himself was obdurate. and
the Murphy control remained I'M
shaken. Under the State constitu-
ton, Legislature called in special
session may only consider subjects
expressly laid before it by the Gov
ernor. The special session rejected
again the Governors primary-elec-
ton bill. so framed as to permit the
machines to control the situation
through their conventions. Some
other matters were submitted by
the Governor which are not peril
nent for US to present in this con-
nection. The fight became every
day more bitter, and the Govern
or'S attacks upon Murphy and
Tammany had by this time gone so
far as to preclude all hope of recon-
ciliatiOn or compromise. The Gov
ernor was determined to destroy
the Tammany boss, and the Tam
many boss in turn saw no way of
escape except to destroy the Gov
ernor.
A good many weeks ago, accord
cording to private political informa-
ton that came to us from sources
that we regard as trustworthy,
the Tammany leaders and the pow
erful interests behind them had de-
termined to impeach the Governor
in order to get him out of the way
A mere majority vote of the lower
branch of the Legislature is all that
is needed to start impeachment
proceedings. This majority was in
the absolute control of Tammany.
1t was the theory of the Tammany
lawyers that, under the Constitu-
ton of New York, the beginning
of such proceedings would sum-
marily suspend the Governor from
his Office and put the Lieutenant
Governor in his place with full and
unrestricted authority as Governor.
At that time the Tammany ma
chine had not decided what kind of
charges they. would bring against the
Governor. Attempts were made to

The report to Congress Of the
Lobby Investigating Committee
is read with varying impressions,
according TO ones political
point Of view. All good citizens
regret the motley crew of camp
followers who hang around con.
gressional and legislative halls.
1t is less open than it was once,
when at Washington certain
agents held headquarters in
strategic committee rooms. But
the Washington capitol and eve
ry State house will always find
this trail. II often leads up to
high authirity in business and
finance.
It is a difficult matter in which
TO discriminate. In one sense
the representative of the Chris
tian Endeavor Societies who
comes to Washington to work
for better liquor law or against
child abOr, is a Lobbyist" in
spite of the correctness of his
motives. Every citizen has the
right to present has views to his
Congressman, or any other law
maker. The way must always
be left open for such expression.
In many States laws requir-
ing the registration of all pro-
fessional lobbyists have worked
we'll. But gold bricks will be
bought by business men. Usu-
ally they would do better, where
possible, to come to Washing
ton and state their own case.
When lobbyist telegraphs on
to his employers that great
victory has been won, he usually
adds that another remittance
would be acceptable. His back
ers should ask whether he had
anything more to do with that
victory than the door-keepers.
The corrupt legislator is al
ways looking for the crooked
way. He finds his affinity some
where in the lobby. But it is
probably true that the halls of
law-making contain less easy
marks than formerly. A man is
employing labor and carrying
the burden of a business enter
prise is heard with respect. But
no legislator who is in any way
worthy of the suffrages of his
fellow citizens pays much atten-
ton to the oily eloquence of the
average paid agent.
