THE SOLIDITY OF THE PARTY.


OF one thing the people generally may be
assured: their representatives are solid
have unanimously pronounced their views
upon national policy. In all the votes that
have been taken in Congress thus far there
has been no wavering, but every man has
recorded himself as being in favor of the
repeal of the unrepublican laws that were
enacted in times of domestic trouble and
popular clamor. The fact is gratifying
simply because it was unexpected.


1t scarcely requires argument to demon
the heat of the war are unrepublican and
subversive of the interests of the people.
In the first place it is claimed that a
person who participated in the rebellion
is not competent to give an unbiased judg-
ment upon case on trial in any court at the
South. The assertion of such thing is
preposterous. Its only effect has beer to
exclude from the jury box the most intelli-
gent citizens of the South, and to turn the
administration of justice over to the most
ignorant of the population. In no COM
munity do the people desire to do jury ser
vice, but itigants ask that men competent
to discriminate be allowed the privilege OF
acting in the capacity of jurors. The repeal
of the discriminating law is demanded BY
every litigant, whether he was enlisted or
the Southern or the Northern sides.

The Street Rail,Uav Company Criticised.
To the Editor of the Globe.


clip the following from the Pioneer Press
of this morning:


Ground has been broken on the Summit av-
enue branch of the street railway. If the peo-
pie out on Mississippi street and the immediate
section between Rice's addition and Wabashaw
street had little snap they would raise. little
bonus and have a line out through that densely
settled but remote part of the city.
And I would like to know if that paper
speaks by the card for our enterprising one
horse corduroy railroad company, a company
whose cars and track are disgrace to any
city. Look at those at Minneapolis. In no
city in the world are there such shabby and
and rickety carriages and shabby tracks.
Besides, being nasty and uncomfortable, they
are positively dangerous for invalids and
delicate ladies', in certain conditions, to
ride in.


Being literally patronized, and charging

and having in six years gotten a little more
than three miles of cordury track in opera
ton, this enterprising company, by means
of liberal bonuses, consents to put the enor-
nous force of twenty men at work to extend
its track to Summit avenue. Let the Sum-
NIT avenue people have it if they want it, on
such terms. "Fhe remote but thickly set

ruined, for grading and regarding that street

brought to the established grade for the use
of the street railway company.

here we IND that there mas been an e1-
penditure of thirty-seven thousand dollars
in three cities, with total number of arrests
amounting to but one hundred and thirty, or
thereabouts, with but five convictions for at
tempts to vote illegally. 1t seems to Us that
the game is hardly worth the powder.


If the several States had neglected to pro-
vide for the arrest and punishment of per-
sons who abused the elective franchise.
there might be some excuse for
the federal government undertaking the
job. But upon the statute books of every
State in the union there are the most strin-
gent laws against illegal voting, and as the
business ought properly to be left to the
States, ample means are provided for the
arrest, trial and punishment of offenders.
1t is safe to say that the army of federal
officers in the cities named did not in the
least suppress the votes of those not legally
entitled to the franchise, and furthermore
that the local authorities could have better
undertaken the job.

DIPHTHERIA.- In spite of the careful study
which has been given to the disease, diphthe-
ria must still be classed as an unexplainable
physical disorder For n long time it was
supposed to be of modern origin, but medi-
cal historical research has shown that there is
good reason for thinking that it prevailed
with deadly effect in India rs long as GOO
B. c., and that the fatal epidemic called in
the Talmud ''askara" was essentially diphthe-
ritic in its character But from this time for
ward to the seventeenth century there is no
disease described with which it can be COM
pared At that time there were many deaths
from this cause but it appears TO have made
a complete leap over the eighteenth century,
aud not to have been taken into professional
account until about twenty years ago. Since
that time, 1858, it has been intermittent in
its severity, when any given locality is con-
sidered, though it has never disappeared, when
this and other large countries are taken into
account. What regulates its coming and 60
ing is, however, an unsolved mystery. OF
the nature of the disease itself the same un-
certainty exists, some physicians chasing it
with the very common disorder known as
Group, while Others of seemingly equal au-
thority, maintain that there is no connection
between the two. Indeed, almost as much is
learned by what it does not do as by what it
does In this way II has been repeatedly
shown that it is governed by family or con-
stitutional attractions since, when one mem
Der of a family has it, other members of the
household are much more liable to be attacked
by it than friends or nurses who are not re-
lated by blood ties, even though the exposure
in the latter case should be greater than in
the former. In view of the number of cases
of sickness from this cause in this city at the
present time, it would be well for all to bear
this last named circumstance in mind, for the
frequency with which two or more members
of a family die within a short time from this
disease is one of its most painful features. 1t
is, at least, satisfactory to know that the num-
Der who recover is now much larger than it
once was, for in ancient times it was styled
an incurable complaint, while the present
rate of mortality from this cause is less than
40 per cent of those who suffer from it. The
fact of its complete absence through term
of years certainly indicates its possible pre-
ventability, and in these days of enlightened
medical research it will be strange if some
way is not discovered Of stamping it out as
efTectually as smallpox has been eradieated.

CAUTION IN REGARD TO THE Sulphur
CURE FOR DPHTHERIA.-A correspondent
sends word of timely caution to the Boston
journal about the use of that part of that pa
per's "Sulphur cure" for diphtheria which
recommends sprinkling the birthstone on a
live coal and letting the patient inhale the
fumes. THAT quantity (two spoonfuls) of
burning sulphur" the writer says "held per
force under the nose of strong horse ought
to kill him in two minutes. dying child
needs the purest air possible, and could not
survive the sudden application of sulphuric
acid-simon pure-to the lungs, in such a
manner and in such a dose. We think well
of sulphur directly applied in reasonable
quantity to any fungus growth, animal or
vegetable but the instant asphyxia, caused
by the powerful grip of sulphuric acid in such
a dose, kindly but ignorantly administered to
a feeble child, is certainly not to be doubted.


This part of the cure, to my mind, should
never be meddled with, except under the
watchful eye of common sense physician"
