TARIFF INIQUITY.

The New York Herald tbiuka that the Republican party uaa been found gull’y of giving aid and comfort to the protected monopolists and since found guilty both the protected monopolies and their alders and abet tors are willing to compromise. The existing tariff system and all that it itn plies is one of their most fruitful pasture*. In the twenty years since it; was adopted, originally as a war i iure, It says there has arisen around it a vast and comnrehensivo en\.i cry of fraud, jobbery and cori Hon, which it now seems almost :m ossible to destroy. A year ago t <■ upholders of this system were so jg, in their own estimation, that i defied public opinion. The bent , . lies of a high tariff controlled i overnmeut and dictated what it t d and should not de aS insolcntJ he slave owner cf a quarter of ii,ury ago dictated to the party tn in power. In accordance with i wishes, in obedience to their < naud, a commission was appoint- < The friends of reform had little < i ouhdenee in it, because they 9. id understood the agencies and i nents behind it. In the meant re has been a verdict at the b i box— a verdict of "guilty” on e v ou n t in the indictment against t ■ uen and their friends and sup* p. ii in au hority. What is the re Wiser than the old-time i the tariff lords have offered a “ :> iwnise.” They are willing to t. f from twenty to fifty per eent. t. that extent relieve the suffer* i .. ?, luetiiesof the country.

. Attorney General Wayne Mac* A .- h has been Interviewed in regard to ~ne statements made by ex-Sen* (.a Star Route Thief Dorsey. Mr. MaeVeagh being asked if he desired to reply to Dorsey’s Statement, said: No. I must be excused from entering into any controversy with a man like Dorsey. It was my official duty to examine these cases, and the only conclusion possible from such examination was that Dorsey is a thief. In that opinion Postmaster General James agreed. Since then Attorney General Brewster, Mr. Bliss,Mr. Mer rick, Mr. Kerr, two Grand Jurors and ten out of twelve ot the men who tri cd the ease have expressed the same opinion. As Dorsey, therefore, has been tried, indicted and once substantially co victed in the result of the trial es Rerdell and Miner, it is im* possible, with the most moderate selfrespect, to notice anything he says, even if he had not shown himself to ba. a most reckless aad shameless liar about both the living and the dead. “By the by," queried Mr. MacVeagh, “I wonder if there is another man in the United States, who, after indirect and substantial conviction for stealing public money, we aid hold on to the Secretaryship of a National Committee?" It seems that Dorsey is a liar as jvell as a thief, and what is funny about the matter is that Dorsey is still the Secretary ot the Republican N.itional Oommittsee. Even MacVeugh thinks it strange. Dorsey, Hi. ■ Howgate, knows some things, and whether he tells or kesps silent, will depend upon the treatment h? receives. Arthur understands the A i exchange says: “Keep a cup of j... zdered borax on your washstand; .-. i ldo wonders in the way of soft in ig the skin.

TREATMENT OF DIPHTHERIA

Rr: es Adopted os the Subjbct bt thb I DLL ADELPHI* AUTHORITIES, great degree of fatality attending ' < t .s from diphtheria, particular]/ children, make* it important that pitcaution be taken against the . ; of the disease, and that the treat* me ■ of those coming down with it be prompt and intelligent. In yiew of the gvm ral lack of information with regard to tl e proper treatment of diphtheria oa* lien is, the resolutions just adopted by the j'liiladelpbia. Board of Health are inter* estrng and valuable. These resolutions have oeen printed and given to the teachrrs <1 Die public and private schools for istrihution among their pupils. Byway or paienthfcsis it may be remarked that every particular with regard to the unsatsiaciory sanitary condition of the Jack* foil chool, recently brought out in the Globe* Democrat, has been verified by the t eport of the City Health Officers, who gave just completed investigation in tho neighborhood. The report of the Phila* itclphia Board of Health is as follows: Recent investigations having proved that the poison of diphtheria is portable, communicable by infection, and capable of reproducing itself outside of the human body, diohtheria must now be ranked as both & contagious and infectious disease. The following rules are, theroiore, more imperative than over before: 1. When a child or young person has a sore throat, a bad odor to it* breath, and especially if it has a fever, it should im* mediately be separated and kept secluded from all other persons except necessary attendants, until it be ascertained whether or not it has diphtheria, or some other communicable disease. 2. Every person known to be sick with diph heiia should be promptly and effectually isolated from the public. Only those persons who are actually necessary should have charge of or visit the patient, and these visitors should be -restricted in Xheir intercourse with other individuals.

Children reridintr in a beusc where there u a case of diphtheria should not be permitled to attend school. 8. When i C 8 ,f diphtheria is fully developed, the eamep-ecautions in regard I to free V.util $ >u, and d snteiton of discharges, bed or body liner, etc., isolation during conyalesence (or management of the corpse should death unfortunately occur) etc , etc., ought to be enforced which have already been recommended in regard tosmalljiox. 4. It is particularly important tint persons whose throats are tender or sore trom any cause should avoid possible exj osure trom the contagion ot diphtheria. Children under ten years of age are in much greater danger < t taking the d s ate, aud do take it of dying from it, than grown persons. But adults are not exempt, and mild casts io them uiay CiUSe whole series of faia! attacks among ci ildien. ft, Numerous instances are r corded where Ihe contagion has retained its viru.ence for weeks <>r months, in cesspools, heaps of decaying vegetable matter, damp walls, etc., and been carried tor tong distances in clothing, in s»-wers, in waste-pipes stationary washstands, and in other conduits. Honce all sewer connections and other carriers of filth should be well ventilated and disinfected, and children particularly should not be allowed to breathe the air of any waler closet, cesspool or sewer into wh.ch discharges from patients sick with diphtheria have entered, nor to drink water or milk which has been exposed to such air. 6. Beware of any person who has a sore throat; do not kies such a person or take his or her breath; do not drink from the tame cup, blow the same whistle, nor put his pencil or jien into your mouth. 7. Do not wear nor handle clothing i which has been worn by a person during si< kutss or convalasceuce£from diphtheria.

DIPHTHERIA.

The Ht. Louis Doctors Tell What They Know of the Disease. [St. Louis Repuolican ] At the weekly meeting of the Med ical Society Dr. Walter Coles read a paper on “Diphtheria/' which is so prevalent in some of the city wards just now. He dwelt upon the dangei of muscular exertions in persons weakened and debilitated by the disease and the impropriety of employJng methods of treatment calculated to provoke a struggle on the part of the patient. The doctor does not believe that medical men have yet discovered the essential cause of the disease, and showed that it prevails in healthy rural districts and crowded cities alike. He reported a case of sudden death from paralysis of tz.e heart in a child apparently couvalescent. Dr. Coles denies the existence of a specific germ in diphtheria, but admits the existence of bacteria, which howevor exists in other diseases. Dr. Bernays, Jr., indorsed the theory of Dr. Coles that the origin of diphtheria can not or has not been determined; it is contagious, but not altogether epidemic. Two years ago. said the Doctor, thore was a diphtheric epidemic in Denver and most of the children effected died; it was subst-qir tiilj ic .i’ned that the same milkman served the parents of the children afflicted and the deduction was that the diphtheric germ emanated from the milk.

“I want to say.right here, Mr. Chair man and gentiemen, that no healthy child can possibly catch diphtheria—the child it attacks must first have what is commonly called a cold or a catarrh. A small piece of diphtheric poinon may be placed en a man’s eye, and unless there is an abrasion of the eperdernais he will not be affected I am promulgating very advanced ideas, 1 am aware, but I insist that neither diphtheria, measles or scarlet fever can be acquired unless the conditions! have named exist. I believe that cholera might be traced in its infection to improper diet. In the Sixth Ward, where I livr, diphtheria is very prevalent, and three cases kaye terminated fatally within 10u yards of my residence, and just before coming here I read the statistics of a physician whose ability for ob servation can not be questioned, that out of 568 cases of diphtheria 508 had ended fatally; these 568 eases were taken from epidemics of various severities. in the northern part of the city some ot the children died within twenty-four hours of the development of the disease. There is one thing which is due to ourselves and friends that we make understood; manv physicians call diphtheria what is simply some other threat disease, and having cured the throat disease they lay claim io having cured diphtheria, and the result is that Mrs. Br wn says to Dr. Blank: ’Dr. Dash cured Smith’s child of diphtheria but my child died on your hands.’— It’s an advanced idea, but it should be known that a thaoat disease which was cured was no diphtheria.” Dr. Scott said that for this disease he usually treated with calomel, bicarbonate of soda, iron and quinine. In the norther part of the city twothirds of the blocks were not in a proper hygienic or sanitary condition. In the tenement districts, where the houses formed a huge square, there were wells and cisterns in the midale of the squares, and these wells were surrounded by outbuildings whose vaults and cesspools unquestionably affected the water. He had treated two cases in whic’ one was the child of fairly well-te-do parents who co’d give it all the attendance, care and cleanliness desirable; the other was the child of j the washwoman who worked for the family; in the case of the washwoman she lived in an old house built perhaps forty years ago and the surroundings were squalid; the crib in which the child slept was dirty and so were the bed clothes, and yet the child of the comfortablysituated parents died, while the child ot poverty lived nnd thrived. Membranous croup and diphtheria might have similar symptoms, but they are entirely different diseases; diphtheria is contagious while membranous croup is not. The doctors, nurses and ib others who wash the throats of children suffering from diphtheria are apt to catch the disease should their fingers come in contact with parts of the body, but this was not the case with croup. In Berlin a Boston physician had lost his eye in this manner.

Gillam Township, Dec. 13, >B2. Ed. Sentinel—The campaign has passed, qnietude again reigns, and bust-' ness has resumed its wonted activity in this locality., Our Commissioner, Hon. Asa C. Preyo, has been in attendanceon Commissioners Court the past week, and judging from the length of time he was away from home we suppose a large amount of business was transacted- Though we did net support Mr. Prevo, we nevertheless think him an honest, upright man, one wbo will look well to the interests of the county, and one who will not be forced into unjust measures by the 'ring' at Rensselaer that controls Republican politics in Jasper county, Re will h»ve|many bosses to antagonize—-bosses who work for the spoils, and will demand their reward, Just now*, I understand, that prociaimer of temperance and supporter of whisky advocates, ‘lroquois,* desires to be Secretary of the County Board of Health, at fl»0,00 per annum, and the ‘ring* de, i maud it tor him, notwithstanding there

are o’her physicians who v ould perfor the duties tor >125,60. Oh, the working of the ’ring’ Is a stupendous thing. Let Messrs. Burke. Prevo and W y mire heed it not, but devote their elicits to the interests of the whole people. Odd ■ 1 Albums cheap at Sears.

CONCERNING CALENDARS.

A definition of the word calendar is given as a method of numbering and a-ranging days. weeks, months and years; also as a meehauicffl coutriv ance for registering that arra igment. Various nations and seats have adopted different methods of meas uring time, dating from some real or imaginary epoch io their existance. The following are the principal cal endars aud snow the place that the year 1883 will occupy in the world’s history: Anno mundi (year of the world), 5 883. Anno Domini (year of our Lord). 1,883. Jewish year, 5,643. Julian period, 6,595. Hegira, or flight of Mahomet, 1,298. A. U. O. foundati >n ot Rome, 2,635. Independence ot the United States, 106 7. Reign of Queen Victoria, 45 6. Science fixed the year 1883, A. D,. as the 5,883 d year since the creation of the world; the Julian period places it as the 6,595 th. For all practical purposes ths one answers as well as the other.

The Jewish year is bused upon the calculation that the world was urea ted 3760 years before Christ was born, which ad u ed to those since the birth of Christ, give 5,613 as tue Jewish year of the world. The Jewish year is supposed to,have varied at different periods in length, consisting of twelve or thirteen month of twenty or thirty days each. The Roman calendar divided the year into the months, comprising 304 days, about 738 years before Christ. This year was fifty one days less than the solar year, corresponding in no degree with the present seasons. The Julian calendar was based upon ths solnr year of 365 days and six hours, 45 B. C. The Emperor, Julius Caesar acting noon the evidence and advice of astronomers, mad< provision. at this time, for the excess of the solar year over the number of days by introducing bissextile or leap year, when the year was 366 days, tnc name being derived from two sixes.

lhe Gregorian calendar commenced in 1582. A. D. At the time of the Julian reform the true solar calendar was known to be composed of 365 days, five hours and for-ty-nine minutes. In 1582 this differ* enoe had amounted to ten days. To correct this error Pope Gregory or dained that that year sho u>d have only 156 days, by which order the sth of October became the 15th of Octo her. To prevent a recurrence of this diflculty it was ordered that the first year in each centuiy should not be bissextile or leap year excepting ev* eiy fourth century. Thus the first years of the eighteenth nnd nineteenth were not leap years, and 1900 will not bo but the year 2000 will be, bissextile. In this way the difference between the civil and the natural year will not amount to a dav is 5,000 years. In Spain, Portugal, and part of Italy, the Pone was exactly obeyed. In France, the change took place In the same year, by calling the 10th the 20th of December. In the Lew Coun tries, the change was from the 15*h December to the 25th; but it was re sisted by the protestant part of the community till the year 1 7 00. The Catholic Nations, in general, adopt ed the style ordained by their sovereign pontiff; but the protestants would not receive even a purely scientific improvement, from such hands. The Lutherans of Germany, Switzer land and of the Low Countries at length gave way in 1700, when it had become necessary to omit eleven in stead of ten days. A bill to this effect had been brought had been brought before the Parliament of England in 1585, but does not appear to have gone beyond a second reading in the House of Lords. It was not till 1751, and after great inconvenience had been experienced for nearly two centuries from the difference es the rec oning, that an act was passed (24 George II 1751) for equalizing the style in Great Britain and Ireland with that used in other countries of Europe, It was then enacted that eleved days should be omi.ted after the 2nd of September, 1752, so that ensuing day should be the 14th Rus sia is now cht only country which adheres to the old style.

WORTH REMEMBERING

Wow .that good times are again upon us it is worth remem liering that no one can enjoy the pleasantest surroundings if in bad health. There are hundieds of mis« erable pecrple going about to-dav with disordered stomach, liver or kidneys, when a bottle of Parker’s Ginger Tonic would do them more good than all the medicinoe they have ever tried.

“THE BEST PRACTICAL ART MAGAZINE.

The Art Amateur for 1883, judging from the publishers a r nouneoment, will amply maintain its high reputa tlon as the “best practical art maga zine” of the day. To an abundance of oeautiful, full size working designs for painting, embroidery, wood carving, and otht r ait work, with copious practical instructions for all classes of amateur artists, it will continue to add a profusion of charming illustrations of porcelain, furniture, needle work, and brio-a-bac, together with an endless supply of entertaining in formation on decorative and industrial art. Numerous artists* sketches will be published as usual; the leading exhibitions will be largely illustrated and piquantly criticised, and artists of merit will b biographically noticed A series of beautiful embroidery designs from the South Kensington Royal School of Ait Needlework and a number of articles on china painting by Miss McLaughlin of Cincinnati, will be published during the year. It is not too much to deciare, with the London Academy (which places it above any magazine of the kind in England), that The Art Amateur is a “marvel of variety, beauty, and cheaness.” This opinion may be readily verified by sending thirty five cents for a specimen copy to Montague Marks, Publisher, 2*3 Union Square New York.
