Tar London Lancet makes this sage re- park: “The man who resolves not to take cold’ geldom docs.” ‘The Lantdl's theory is that “ tak- ing cold” is the result of a sufficient impression of cold to reduce the vital energy of nerve-cen- tres presiding over the functions of certain or- gens; that sneczing and shivering are efforts of nature to rouse the dormant centres, and ena- bie them to resume work, and avoid evil conse- quences; and that there is no more potent influ- ence by which to restore the vital energy than a strong and sustained effort of the will. No doubt thore is much truth In this theory; and there fs no month in all the twelve in which there is more need of putting any and every theory into practice which lessens the chances of cold-taking than March. Those who fortu- nately ward off sore-throat, cough. and catarrh gl) the rest of the year, often’succumb during this month, which bas usually fully sustained ita reputation of being disagrecable and unwhole- some. So that if all we need to do is to “resolve not to take cold,” we bad better make the reso- lution instantly, and keep it in mind 60 con~ stantly thet it will have its legitimate influence upon our everyday life. Moreover, whoever fetls a ccld “coming on” should in the very be- ginning fight against its approach with vigorous determination, for if once the enemy gains a foothold it is not easily dislodged. % Ir is reported about the streets that the dense, grimy smoke which envelops the little Nors and besmuts everything in the neighbor- hood willbe abated by the adoption of Orvis’ smoke-burner the coming week.

But the first reform is to improve its mind, manners, and morals by abating the emoke nuisence that surrounds and obscures the concern’s horizon. A compromise Republican Presidential ticket ls proposed: EB. Washburne, of Til: nols, for President, and George F. Edmunds, of Vermont, for Vice-President. A3 one who has more regurd for the success of the party than for the success of any particular man, the Journal docs not hesitate to express the opinion thst that. would be the strongest ticket that could possibly be presented. It would mean. am only Republican success, but the success of twogreat men in whom the American people baveevery reason to have confidence.—Chicago Journal. Itwould certainly be 8 most excellent com- promise ticket, and could not be defeated by any ticket the Democrats could put up. It would carry New York as well a3 Indiana, and patthe campaign outof doubt from the word “go”; but will the Convention have the sagacity tomake so wise a compromise? _ Iris great pity that Ald. Throop declines Aretlection, as the City Counci! needs just such 2 plain, blunt, outspoken, fearless member. He bas been worth to the taxpayers whole omni- bus full of such Aldermen as we could name. Mr. Throop will be more missed than any retir- ing Alderman. It is a real loss to the city to have him step out, And Ald. Knopf is another of the declining members whose absence will be felt as aloss to the public. He is not as sharp, blunt, or pointed a talker as Throop, but he votes tight and follows his convictions of right every time; he never plays the demagng or votes with corrupt rings and blackmailers. It is the im- Perative duty of the wards those two useful members represent to fill their places with the Very best, ablest, and most fearless men that can be induced to serve. z Pror.

This doctrine was admirably illustrated by Prof. Sumner himself when he made his ccle- brated auti-silver speech in Chicago. He proved ®n that occasion not only that “men are born without any endowment of either physical or metaphysical good,” but that they sometimes grow up and become Professors in colleges with- Sat having time to acquire any.

Sumnes, of Yale College, has raised the question what a Presidential election costs. He makes a rough gueas, from the mea- grodata which he was able to collect. that the election of 1876, down to the day of voting, cost in each State on the average $100,000, or, say, four millions in all. He has been informed that this estimate is far too low; and probably it is 80. ‘Tue Second is a Republican ward by 300 to 400 majority, and it is the duty of the Republic- ans, who pay 0 per centof the taxes of that ward, to excuse Mr. Sanders from further service, and give Ald.

Thomas Going for the Foss Property Near Jeffer- son Park. - Prospects of an Immense Amount of Litigation for Other Lands. Yesterday Wesley and William H. Sisson, at- torneys for the heirs of Jesse B. Thomas, again filed a suit of ejectment in the Ciroult Court Clerk’s office, on behalf of Richard T. ‘Thomas, to secure possession of the tract of real estate lying immediately north of Jefferson Park, com- prising a whole square, and known as the Foss property, The claim is made upon the same ground as that of the suit entered the day be- fore by the same parties for tho Purpose of sccuring possession of Jeffereon’ Park, an w count of which case appeared in Tor TxinoNR yesterday morning. ‘There are seven of the direct heirs of Jesse B. ‘Thomas, all his children, ag follows: Hichard ‘T. Thomas, Jesso B. Thomas, Clara F. Thomas, George W. Thomas, Mary A: Thomas, Lucy E. Thomas, and Ella A. Thomas. The defendants in the last case are Robert H. Foss, Fred D. Foss, John P. Foss, William W. Foss, Eliza Foss (widow), Pliney E. Merrill, Nell Weir, and Kate Lathrop. These two suits, which have been put into the Circuit Court by Richard T. Thomas, are simply forerunners of a great many of like nature which will follow closely. The single complain- aut brings suit to recover an undivided seventh of both pieces of property,—Jefferson Park and the Foss property,—it being considered that these will make tho strongest cases, for the rea- son that neither tract has ever been subdivided, and both the city and the Fosses are the direct Purchasers of the property at the pdministra- tor's sale of the estate, and consequently there are no innocent purchasers to figure in the transaction and no ples of equity. B On Monday or Tucaday of this week suit will be commenced by Richard T. Thomas against Hugh Maher's Subdivision, seventy-five foot wide, between Fourieonth and Sixteenth streets, cominencing at State streot and extending to the lake, embracing about thirty lots, ‘Tho attorneys claim to have the original survey of this pieco of property, which ia dated 1857, and signed by S. S. Greeley, City-Surveyor. |< As stated in yesterday's TrrBune, the plaintift olaims a rizht to all this property on the ground that the administrator's sale by which this land doparted from tho ownership of the hoirs was made upon an order from the County Court, which, according to the statutes of 1815, under which the Courts were then acting, WAS ILLEGAL AND VOID, inasmuch as it was therein provided that the Cireuit Court only should order sale of real estate for the payment of debts of an estitte. Itis also claimed that the statutes likewise provided that such a sale of real estate should only be made after the personalty of the estute was exhausted, and then that only enough should be aold to satisfy the claim of indebted- ness. They will doubticss attempt to show that Judge Thomus—who was the owner of vast quantities of real estate, both in and about this ofty, and in other counties of this State, some being in the City of Springficld—wns independ- ent, did not owe a dollar, and that the adminis- trator sold every foot’ of the property, as he claimed, to satisfy debts aguinst the estate. The inference drawn can only be to the effect that the administrator, Dr. Levi D. Boone, who is at present alive and residing in this vicinity, was guilty of duplicity in managing his estate.’ It is said thathe was an uncloof Mrs. Thomas, the widow of the deceused, and that the manage- ment of the entire estate was left by the heirs in berhands and thatof the administrator. The point is also raised, which will not be dwelt upon, that the titles to and deeds of the several tracts of lana sold are defective in themselves, they not being properly signed and attested. It is further claimed by the contestants that the heirs are all poor, having been left penniless inthe bad management of the estate, and that while they desire to recover a portion at least of the property which belonged to their father, they do not desire to work a hardship upon any innocent purchaser, or to: take advantage of any simple technicality to acquire possession of the property. As before intimated, the suits already commenced are but the har- bingers of others to follow, which will involve the right of proprietorship’ in huudreds of lots in subdivided sections in this city, and acres upon acres of land in the State. The contem- Ri lation of the amount involved seems almost ike a dream, 80 great is the magnitude. The attorneya for the petitioaers point sigaificantly to the fact that the original purchasers of tracts of this real estate who are uow in possession of the same—the City of Chicago and the Fosses— have never subdivided the property, but have left the parcels intact, and have paid taxes upon the same through all these years without deriv- ing any benefit therefrom. THE HON. A. B. CASWELL. The Tax on Paper. “s ‘There was at the Grand Pacific yesterday the Hon. L. B. Caswell, member of Congress from the Second (Madison) Wisconsin District. ‘The gentleman took a brief run to his home to at- tend to imperative private business, and left for Washington last evening. Mr. Caswell fs serv- ing his third term, and is apt to be returned again, though he is not a candidate for re8lec- tion. A TRiBoNE reporter.ran across the gen- tleman Jast evening and bad a conversation with him, of which the following are the salient points. The reporter asked: “ What is the status of the bili removing the taxon paper and the chemicals that enter into its manufacture?” “There bas been nothing done about it yet, and 1am sorry for it. The bill seems to lie dor- mantin the Committee of Ways and Means. ‘There has anew opposition growa up against it, 49 far as I can understand, the woolen man- ufacturers claim that the removul of the duty on soda-ash will injure them. as this fs used in the manufacture of cloth. There is a disposi- tion among some of the members, at lenst, to relicve knowledge of its onerous tax. There is an opposition to tampering with tho tariff by piecemeal, and that has something to do with the delay. If the wos, and Meavs Committee would report the bil I baye no doubt that it would pass, as there isa disposition to do away with the paper monopoly. There are na great manor people who blame Congress for the dolay, bar ta ig is unfair, as the bill is tied up in Com- c “Would you favor the bill?” “T'd ba glad to vote for it, and [ believe our whole delegation would favor it.” “ Whatare the prospeats for GENERAG LEGISLATION by the present Congress?” Ko There is a general disposition on the part of the Democrats to go mighty slow.

Why he there so much delay in the auditing of claims?” “T'll explain that to you briefly. When the Committee on Pensions was organized, it was under the impression that there was something wrong in the Pension Bureau,—that there ws inefficiency and wrong-doing somewhere in the office. But some of the Committee, and I be lieve the majority. have become convinced that the office is well conducted. The business has been simply immense the past year. One hundred thousand new applications were re- ‘and 43,000 pension claims are now They ‘are coming in at the rate applications per month. There were 77,000 cases settled during the lest year. The mail receipts consisted of over £00,000 packages, nd upwards of 600,000 packages were sent out. In 1876 and ‘T7 there were only ‘from 8,000 to 10,- 000 applications received against 100,000 at the present time, and this accounts for the delay, and claimants must rest easy, as there is not 2 force in: the office sufficient to cope with this vast volume of business.

The sweetness of the bells is attributed to the amount of gold and silver in their composition, and it was while listening to this chime that the great composer Handel” exclaimed, “O for an fnstru- ment with golden strings to draw such melody from.” Piano-making was then in ita infancy, but many attempta were made to com- bine gold with the baser Tactals in such propor- dons as would give the requisit tensile strength for piano strings. In 1856.2n English pianoforte- inrker named Besseker patented a process for wrapping piano strings with a coll of fine gold wire. In this way he succeeded in improving the tone, but the process never came into prac- tical use. It remained for an American, Col. H. W. Gray, now the President of the Schomacker Pianoforte Manufacturing Company of Phila- delphia, tosolve the problem by an electro- plating process pateuted by. him in 1876. ‘The strings have allthe mellow resonance of the royal metal, and are not affected by rust or dampness, which so quickly destroys the best steel wires. Musicians are enthusiastic over the bewitching harmony developed by the new golden-tonguod Instruments, which promise at no distant day to supersede everything else in the piano line. WILL CLOSE.
