HURRAH for Garfield

Bonnets of a feather flock together.

SUNDAY it was supposed that Senator Bruce was the dark horse of the Chicago convention.

NOT only in the big wheat regions will the crop of tliis year be immense, but in the Wabash valley the crop will be very large.

IT is said that C(,1. Hudson feels re juarknbly good about these times, as he was the first and original Garfield man in this city and stuck to his fortunes .until the very moment when liis nomination was announced.

ward aud township meetings will be held on the 12th of this month for the purpose of selecting delegates to the county and Congressional oonvenii ms. These should he well attended so that the best men may be selected to represent the Republican party in this district. tixi.. i.i J-ii.L

PUOF. CHARLES T.ACMAN, of John Ilopkin's' University, has been called to the Sanskrit chair at Harvard College, He is a young man, scarcely thirty years of age.

All noted philologists are now of the opinion that all Inctin Germanic languages have their root in Sanskrit. And the establishment of Sanskrit chairs in our colleges is another evidence of the advance of thought.

BY standing on the corners and listening to tlio curb stone politicians talk of the Chicago nomination, one would think that there,are. #evend gentlemen in this city who are now controlling the convention. They are about equally divided between Grant and Blaine, And the enthusiasm tfianifested hv these gentlemen for their respective-candidate is immense.

Gentlemen, all yoU have to do is to keep your under garment in good position to prevent it being torn, and stand ready to support the nominee, lot It be Grant, Blaine, Sherman. Garfield or Edmunds, stand ready to defend him, and the old Republican prvrt^ will be O in November.

JAKES A. OABPIEU)

It is with great plaasure we annouuee to the readers of the

NEWS

the event of

the National Convention in the nomina tion of that statesman, Patriot and soldier, James A, Garfield.

While we had our choice, now that we could not get accomodated, no other nomination could have been made which gives us so much party and individual pleasure. There is no greater or better man in the Republican party for this expected position than ttye nominee of the Convention. He is every way fitted and qualified for the position. Having great experience in public affairs, he brings also to his personal popularity the record of a brave and dashing soldier on the field of battle. The pages of American history is illuminated with no brighter, purer or more unsullied name than that of James A. Garfield. In every relation of life as boy, man, neighbor, husband, father, statesman and Geueral, he stands far above reproach. Under his flag we will conquer. Fighting under the shadow of his great name, the Republican party will achieve a victory in November, unparalelled in the history of party triumphs in this country.

James A. Garfield is one of the people. He sprang from the middle classes and as a poor boy has made him self what he is. He is a full embodiment of the honest working men of the whole country. Having from the first earned his bread by the sweat of his brow, he is in warm sympathy with that great class of the American people, upon whose brawny shoulders rest the salvation and perpetuity of this Republic. No honest, unprejudiced, patriotic man can refuse to cast his vote for this candidate. With him as the standard bearer in the contest all party division will be healed all party weakness made strong, and the grand old party of 1850 and '60 will march to victory, as compact and invincible as the phalanx under the command of the great Macedonian.

Now the Republican party expects every man to do his duty. "Up guards and at them."

FROM the present state of tilTairs it is very likely that we will have a woman's suffrage convention before many weeks. We hope that i: will not turnout so boisterously as did the woman's suffrage convention at Chicago a few days ago. There has been a wonderful change in woman's work during the last twenty years., The' professions are now open to her and sl/c may engage in any calling she may see fit.' Our old* fathers years .ago would have thought the world would burst if a woman was allowed to practice medicine or law or do anything except washing and cooking. But we are getting along very nicely and we need but one more advance, and that is to give women the ballot. If they want to vote that is their own business, and it would be impossible for them to make things worse than they are in the political world.

WK clip the following from the Inter Ocftwi-as showing the true spirit of the Old veterans who aro now looking upon the disgraceful treatment of Grant at the hands of the Blaine blowers:

An old soldier, who served as a private in a 'Chicago company during the war, and who has lived in .the city for over twenty years, begs TJIB INTER OCEAN to remind these youths "who are putting on this bifger than-Grant style, that they were puling infants in their mother's arms. Or conning their lessons at school, while Grant was bending his whole energies aftd staking his life for their interests." In the name of the soldiery scattered throughout the land, he begs us to 'remmd the delegates of the convention that these boyish shouters do not represent the men who carried muskets and bared their breasts and staked their lives on many bloody fields of battle." He says: "We do not ask office, but upon our wooden legs and crutches we still desire the respect- of our fellow countrymen, and cannot but feel humiliated and disgraced when our great leader is pictured in the window of a pre tended .Republican newspaper as a dog looking for a lost bone. It may be that the soldier element is no longer necessary to the Republican party, and that these enthusiastic* boys who shout so loud in ridicule Of our old leader Will fill bur places better if so, it will all be right. We are watching this convention."

Tlie communication is long, but it is good, airid we make epace tor the^leadfng thoughts. They are, doubtless, th® thoughts of many Of this larg« with trhom thb

GRAFT AJTS BLADTE

There was never known in the history of politics such a convention as the Republican National Convention at Chicago.

Seven long days have the delegates surged on the sea of political doubt, and for seven long days the opponents of Gen. Grant vilified and abused him. Yet be stands a model of American states manship.-

General Hurlbut in a speech at Chicago, Nov. 13,1879, said: Grant's patience, and capacity of endurance, his terrible earnestness of resolution, his unflinching determination, his vigorous judgment, and his clear perception, singled him out as the one man in all the country to sum up the long struggle and gain substantial and permanent victory. By his honest and unswerving exercise of these great qualities, every step in promotion was fairly won, and the military history of that began at Belmont and ended at Appomattox is brilliant foi all time with luster of many great actions. Upon this golden reputation thus honestly earned the peool^ passed judgment, and this fame of his, stamped twice with the broad seal of the United States, has girded round the world, has stood the criticisms of the earth's great capitals, and returns to us indorsed by the applause of two continents such has been the history of our first great leader in the past."

Compare those words with the language of the Chicago Tribune on Blaine in 187G: "In every joint discussion the Republicans will have to defend Blaine's railroad votes, Blaine's repoits of sales, Blaine's letters, Blaine's appeals for money, and Tom Scott's or somebody's payment of $64,000 to enable him to pay his debts. "The Republican speakers and press will be kept with their noses on the grindstone and forever maintaining the propriety o/ electing a man to reform abuses whose whole record is mixed up with an active participation in the abuses which are to be reformed."

Which do you think the better man to represent the people of the United States.

THE warm weather is bound to bring more or less disease to our city, and as all needful places should be more or less disinfected, we clip the following from the Sacannah Neics as giving the result of experiment in the South where the people have to combat the yellow fever and other types of such dreadful malara.

At this season of the year the necessity for the constant use of disinfectants in connection with the drainage and the rear premises of houses, especially in cities, cannot be too forcibly impressed upon the public mind. Bad smells indicate the presence of decomposition somewhere and in some form or other, and this is the sure harbinger of zymotic diseases. Wherever bad smells are found it may be assumed that the generation of bacteria is going on, and these subtle and various forms o"f the life which proceeds from decay have been proved by .modern science to be always more or less associated with the causation of preventable diseases. Good disinfectants, if used in abundance, will always destroy these bacteria, and when this is effected we know that the causes of ^disease are destroyed with them. Hence, it is importann to know what tort of disinfectants are good. "NY ith a view to ascertain this, Dr. Geo. M. Sternberg, surgeon in the United States army, has been making some valuable experiments, under the auspices of the National Board of Health. In the latest bulletin issued by that body, he reports his observation in connection with carbolic acids and other disinfectants. The result of his experiments was not favor able to the employment of carbolic acid. The crude acid, such as manufactured and sold in New Orleans expressly for disinfecting pur|$)ses, utterly failed to prevent the formation of bacteria. Test tubes jn which the acid was used in connection with bacteria all failed to prevent the sub stance from spreading and propagating itself by inocculation, except whert the pure acid, in its crystalline form, was used to the extent of ten grams. This amount, Dr. Sternberg says, is equivalent to seventeen pounds of pure add for a room twelve feet square and twelve feet high (1,728 cubic feet), "and," he adds, "to fulfill the conditions of the experiment in disinfecting on a large scale, it would be necessary to scatter this amount ov# the tioqi* of "a room having these, dimensions, and to suspend articles to be disinfected near the floor for at least six hours, care being taken that all apertures? were closed so that the fumes of the acid might not escape." It would require sixty-eight pounds of the crude acid to disinfect the same room under the same conditions. Forty-six fluid ounces of the crude acid in a room of this size failed to destroy the potencv of vaccine virus, and consequently would fail to destroy the yellow fever germ or the poison of smallpox.

1

In conclusion, Dr. Sternberg says of his interesting and valuable experiments that they show "that the popular idea, shared perhaps by some physicians, that an odoivof carbolic acid in the sick room, or in afoul privy, is evidence that the phico is disinfected, is entirely fallacious, and, in fact, that the use of this agent as a volatile disinfectant is impracticable1 because of the expense of th(j pure acid and the enormous quantity required to produce the desired result." Sulphurous and nitrous acid gaases, however, and chlorine, he found to destroy bacterva at once and effectively. The general result of his experiments is to show that chloride of lime is a more. trustworthy disinfectant than carbolic acid. It is probable that a strong solution of cop peras (sulphate of iron), liberally used, is the best wash for promoting the purity of drains and sinks but it mpst be used liberally and regularly -in order to secure gooaresults.

According to The Ptiannacist, art ink that cannot be erased even with acids is obtained by the following receipt: To good gall ink add a strong solution of fine soluble Prussian blue in distilled water Hi is addition makes the ink, which was previously proof against alkalies, equally proof against acids, and forms a writing fluid which cannot be erased without destruction of the paper. The ink writes greenish bine ana turns black.
