6 THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12,.1896—TWELVE PAGES, THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. ‘THURSDAY... November 12, 1806. CRosny s. NOYES. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulatlor. much more than three times as large as that of any or evening, published in Washing- tom. As a News and Advertising Medium it has mo competitor. (7m order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal THE STAR should not be addressed to any Individeal conneeted with the office, but ximply to THE STAR, or to the Editorta| Depart- Diphtheria prevails in the District to an unusual extent just at present. Its pres- erce in a community gives rise to fears, especially atong the parents of young children who are forced by their attendance at the public schools into possible contact with the germs of the disease. There may he more or less exaggeration in the rumors that circulate today concerning the extent of the infection, but the health office records show a sufficiently large number of cases to warrant the conclusion that some con- certed action must be taken by the health authorities and the physicians to check the diphtheria, which has prevailed every au- tumn and winter for six or seven years. ‘The health officer realizes the impossibility ef making an efficient inspectiqn of the schools without a larger foree than the ap- propriations now grant him and in the ab- sence of additional legislation he 1s, com- paratively speaking, powerless. He can, of course, as he has done in the case of one school, clese the buildings and fumigate them but this is at best a measure that can only be taken after a certain amount of damage is done. A more effective be- cause an anticipatory means of handling the disease is such as is practiced in Bog- ton, where, it is understood, city physi- cians visit the schools regularly at fre- quent intervals and examine the throats of all pupils so as to detect and check any incipient tendencies toward diphtheria or other dangerous ailments of that sort. As in all other epidemies much depends upon the serenity of the public mind, al- though in the case of diphtherla the pa- tients are usually so young as to be in a measure exempt from the tendency to con- tract or aggravate disease through a super- excited imagination. It may be, on the ether hand, that the anxlety caused by a “seare” is in itself a safeguard when diph- theria threatens, for miny times acute and dangerous attacks of the disease are avert- ed by attention to the throat in the early stages. As long as the fear of the parent is not communicated to the child little damage can be done by imagining all cases of sore throat to be incipient diphtheria. On the contrary lives may be saved by the exercise of unlimited suspictous vigilance. Diphtheria is a germ disease and is un- usually severe on children. The same de- gree of care that Is exercised in a case of scarlet fever, typhoid fever or small pox is required in such emergencies as the pres- ent. Parents whose children are too small to attend school should keep the little ones close at home. A thorough fumigation of the house with burning sulphur is unpleas- ant but reassuring. School children should be warned to be careful in the use of drink- ing cups and other common utensils at school ard to avoid associating with other children who are suspected to be ill. It is a duty that the parent owes to the com- munity as well as to the family to keep at home all children who are in the least de- Sree ailing and teachers should make prompt report of all suspicious symptoms among pupils. As in every case of possible panic the most advantageous frame of mind is calm and composed on the one hand, and watch- ful and careful on the other. hington extends a hearty welcome to the National Grange, Patrons of Hus- bandry, now in session here. The dele. gates to this body are representative of a fire type of American citizenship, and embody the best there is in American agri- culture. They strive for the general bet- terment of farm conditions, and for a high ideal in this regare In a special way, too, the National Grange is welcome, for it is now proposed to establish a permanent adquarters for this central body and to mainiaim an organization here that will bring the Grange into closer touch with Congress and the general government. There is no question as to the wisdom of this proposition. It is a recognition of the fitness of Washington as national head- quartets and of the need of the Grange to choose some well-located city where the national work can be centered. The ex- ample of many other national bodies doubt- less shows to the Patrons of Husbandry that Washington is generally regarded as the ideal place for such a purpose, and the thirtieth annual session of the Grange will be a memorable one if this decision is tinally reached. : ——> es —____ The Venezuelan agreement is so happily arrangei that Great Britain is pleased with ir, Venezuela is delighted with it, and Uncle Sam, with Ais extended Monroe Doe- trine, is gratified beyond expression. What has all the fuss ani worry been about? —-—_+ e+ mue of the statesmen who were eloquent over the horrors of a treasury surplus are now willing to admit that it Is undesirable to go to the other extreme. ———_+-+e—____ Mr. Hill frankly states that he knew it ail the iime, but refrains from venturing a positive opinion as to what will happen next. —> +e —_____ Mr. Croker is coming back in the hope of showing that ft fs only a case of suspended animation with Tammany. —-+=-—___ It was a wise father who tn christening hus baby after his favorite candidate let it go at plain “William.” : A cable from Rome contains this infor- mation: “At the invitation of Italian so- clalists in America, Signor Verro, who was convicted of having taken part in the Sici- Man uprisirg, has started for the United States. He will visit New York, Boston and Philadelphia, and will organize the italian socialist residents of those cities.” A cable from London contains this in- formation: “Keir Hardie, the English la- bor agitator, fs contemplating another visit to the United States.” Can it be that certain features of the re- cent presidential campaign are encourag- ing these men to visit the United States at this time in their professional capacity? Do they fancy they see in this field any- thing inviting for the prosecution of their jabors? Have they and their kind abroad gathered the idea that now is the time to strike in this country for the forwarding of their views four years hence? American affairs are frequently misun- understood across the water, and it may be that European agitators have failed to properly digest our election returns. As a matter of fact, patent enough over here, those returns contain nothing whatever in the slightest degree encouraging to men who seek to sow discord between labor and capital, or to promote the abhorrent ends of continental socialism. Very far to the contrary, they contain a distinct re- buke for those to the manor born who, in the cold calculation of discontent, or in the heat of campaigning, tried the desper- ate game of “arraying the masses against the classes.” The game falled absolutely. Socialism, pere and simple, did little more than ralse its head. It sang very small. It sought al- Mance with the silver men, but Mr. Bryan, anxious as he was for votes, repudiated it openly on the stump. He lent a hand, and a very active one, to the scheme of array- irg labor against capital, but in that mat- ter labor repudiated him. In all the centers of industry, where labor, both skilled and unskilled, is strong, the returns show that the wage-earners threw their support against the agitators, and in favor of a policy designed to benefit both labor and capital alike. It was a splendid exhibition both of intelligence and good citizenship cn the part of labor, and in the opening of mills and other kindred establishments, and in the general revival of business, it is al- ready reaping a well-deserved reward. Signor Verro is coming over for the first time. Mr. Hardie has already paid one visit to the country, and knows the way about. But both will find that sentiment in the United States is against revolutionary schemes, and that that sentiment has just been registered with the emphasis of a rousing majority at the polls. Where local agitators have failed, foreign agitators can hardly hope to succeed. —_+ ++. Mr. Watson's Letter. It turns out that Thomas E. Watson had left himself very little room for an original deliverance in the matter of formally ac- cepting the vice presidential nomination of his party. His letter, which has just been given to the public, runs on the lines of his campaign speeches, and merely emphasizes what he repeatedly asserted and com- plained of on the stump. It is only a sum- ming up of a case which he had argued at great length. Why Chairman Butler should have withheld the letter from the press is not clear. It is tart in spots, but not more so than were the current middle- of-the-road charges and suggestions of the campaign. Mr. Watson, it must be admitted, handles his side of the question pretty well. His points are well taken. The terms entered into between the democratic and populist managers at St. Louis were altogether to the advantage of the democrats. The pop- ulists were trapped. Mr. Watson's nomina- tion was a mere blind. There seems good ground, indeed, for believing that Mr. wall was not so objectianable after all to a number of populist leaders, who, at St. Louis, and after the campaign opened, were loud in denunciation of plutocrats. What better terms might have been se- cured is altogether reasonable. The popu- lists were numerous, and necessary to the democrats, and even ordinary capacity for huckstering would, if exerted, have secured a good fusion arrangement. But the dead past will bury its dead. The value of .Mr. Watson's letter lies in what it promises for the future. He and Senator Butler are both looking to 1900, and to the leadership of the populist party. The fight ousht to be.lively...Each Is pre- pared to charge the other with a large part of the responsibility for Mr. Bryan's de- feat. It is Mr. Watson's opinion that Mr. Butler and his coadjutors “fused” the party into a state of helplessness In the late cam- palgn, while Mr. Butler holds that success- ful fusion was prevented by the suspicions and complaining course of Mr. Watson and his coadjutors. No friend of good government ought to complain if this fight becomes bitter and mutually destructive to the participants. Populism in its last analysis means the overturning of our present form of govern- ment. ———— As each announcement of good inten‘tons is accompanied by the report of an Arme- nian massacre, It might contribute to the interaational peace of mind if the Sultan would quit reforming. ——— + += —_____ it is true that Mr. Weyler has been ex- pensive.

STARS. The Sculptor’s Determination. Since classic scantiness of dress Provokes these angry passions, I'll cease to alm at lovelines: And study up the fashions. A Doubtfal Venture. “There is such a thing: remarked the proprietor of the shaving parlor, “as de- pending too much on the business activity that is to result from the election of Mc- Kinley.” Business is picking up everywhere.” “Of course. But I was thinking of a frend cf mine. I'm afraid he's too credu- lous. He's s» sanguine that he's going to open up a barber shop in Kansas!” A Suitable Warning. “When she promised to marry me,” said the rhapsodic young man, “her voice sounded just like an angel's! “H'm,” his married friend responded. “I suppose it did. But it won't always sound that way “J can’t believe it!” “Well, you just wait until some morning when her voice informs you that it's a quarter-past 8, when your inner conscience tells you it can’t be a minute more than 5, o'clock. Then you'll remember what I've been saying to you.” A Parting Fling. “Go ‘way from: there,” shouted a woman at the kitchen window. Meandering Mike was half way over the fence, but had paused to parley with the dog chat snapped his jaws and@ growled and jumped at him from the other side. “Did you say ‘Go ‘way from here?” he inquired. “Yes. And I meant just that “Madame, the invitation ts wholly super- fluous. I was goin’ anyhow. I kin size up a situation ez quick ez anybody, an’ I ain’t gointer t'row meself on de hospitalities of no fam'ly dat don’t feed detr dog no bet- ter’n you do.” One of the Two. “Its shockin; the theater. “What is shocking?" inquired the man who was sitting beside her. “The way Mrs. De Meure’s husband com- pels her to dress. She told me herself that he won't aliow her to buy a hat that’s in style. He must be a brute.” “Yes. Or a philanthropis exclaimed the woman at Chief Considerations, Dey’s explainin’ all tergethuh "Bout de way de ‘lection went, An’ some talks about de weathuh In er tone ob discontent.
