One of the most remarkable of the discoveries of medical experts has bten the" relation between insects and disease. First came the mosquito. 'Then the fly, and now comes the flea. Altogether it has been another proof of that very old and - equally trite saying: "It's the little things In this world that count." The mosquito was found to be the great germ carrier of malaria and yellow fever germs. The fly was found to1 be a disseminator of typhoid, tuberculosis, diphtheria and1 other bacteria. But to the rat and the flea is now given the palm as the carrier of the plague germs the most deadly and insiduous of all. It is greatly to the credit of the United, States that the Marine Hospital and United States Public Health Corpse have traced the disease to Its lair and are now waging war on it in San Francisco. This is the same plague of biblical times the plague which Livy men tions that, carried off .whole tribes and people aha the horrible plague of fcpiidon m tne seventeentn century. This is the plague which has attacked Manila, Seattle, San Francisco since its start In 1894 in celestial China. The plague is no discriminator of persons, paces or climates. Human beings may get it in three ways. By inhalations of dried excretions of plague victims, by eating contaminated food, and third by. the bite of the rat flea or even the flea blood crushed against human skin. ; i( Hence the problem which San Fran cisco has now is to get rid of the fleas and rats. This has necessitated vast sums of money in the tearing down of old wharves, old store houses and floors and making them rat proof. , Concrete warehouses, concrete wharves concrete floors, gutters, - . pavements. . The work is not yet over nor will it ever be over. For as long as there are . rats aboard .ships there will be danger ( from fresh infection., , ( i Nor is the danger confined to San Francisco, The plague rats infect grain and other exportations . so that these are disseminated all over the country - , And we of the Mississippi Valley r9X not, immune. The plague is a back yard disease. Every city has its back yard. The plague can be built out of existence even though it has levied tribute before history began to record its rav ages. t The rat and the flea are undesirablesbut they can be exterminated. THE BIG A. In his new book called "Heretics, Gilbert Chesterton advances the I .... ' ! - somewhat novel theory that the .so called yellow press Is not yellow but a very dull gray. "I speak in no affected contrariety, but In the simplicity of a genuine personal Impression when I say that this journalism offends as not being sen sational or violent enough. The rea vice is not that it is startling, but that It is quite insupportably tame The whole object is to keep carefully along a certain level of the expected ani commonplace; it may be low, it t 1 must take care also to be flat. Never by any chance is there any of that real plebian pungency which can be heard from the ordinary cabman in the ordinary street This journalism does not merely fail to exaggerate life it positively underates it; and it has to do so because it is intended for the faint and languid recreation of men whom the fierceness of modern human life has fatigued." Whatever anyone may say about it, ' it will be a hard blow to Mr. Hearst after all his efforts to find that he has failed to stir any more than a passing interest in the "faint and languid" breast of Mr. Chesterpoint But what will the unsuspecting public say to Gilbert's assertion that scare heads are not used to scare "The editors use this gigantic alphabet In dealing with their readers, for ' exactly the same reason that parents -aid aovemesses use a similar glgan-

tie alphabet In teaching children o spell. The nursery authorities do not use an A as big as a horseshoe in order to make the child jump; on , the contrary, they use it to put the child at his ease, to make things smoother

and more evident" But Borne of the readers of the Hearst papers have somehow gotten the idea that the heads some times had that very utilitarian use of filling up space. INDIANA, THE DOUBTFUL. It is often said of Indiana, that ev ery man in its borders is either a pol itician or an orator. At the same time, it is well known that when Chairman Hitchcock asked how many of the states had political organiza tions worthy of the name, he was told 'One Indiana." And in the final analysis all this means what everybody has known for years, that Indiana is a doubtful state. There would be little need other than the last election to prove this. But those who remember the stirring days of the early sixties and the late fif ties and the terrific dual which went on when the state seemed on the verge of joining the South, must con cede that the state inherited its doubt ful proclivities naturally. After the war things settled back for a time until 1876, when it went democratic by five thousand, only to break out again in 1884 with a difference of only six thousand votes for the presidency and In 1888 a difference of only two thousand. It was democratic in 1884 and republican in 1888. Four years later it switched democratic again, with a plurality of seven thousand. since tnen it nas been counted by forgetful persons as a republican state. But look at the blamed thing now. A republican president, one republi can senator a democrat about to be selected, a democratic governor with a variegated state ticket depending on the official .count and a wrecked republican list of congressmen. And call it safe! Just as safe as a faro game. What means all this? , . It simply indicates that indianlans are of such diverse sorts that no dependence can be placed on them to vote a given way. . t There has been a solid democratic backbone in the state since before the war and a little stronger republican population. Be tween these two extremes lies the floating vote which is to a large ex tent made up of the class of people who are the, reading public. It has been fashionable in political circles to be an Independent voter in Indiana longer than in any other state in the union. Even from the days of the "mugwumps," it has been so. That is the reason why both the democratic and republican party lay such store on their poll books and that accounts for the order of Hitchcock to the other states go and do likewise. . Politics never reaches such a fever heat in other states as in, Indiana. Can any one imagine Pennsyl vania calmly turning up a republican majority year after year and getting excited about it? Can It be that Indiana coquets in this fickle manner for the attention which must be given her? It would seem so. THE FRANKLIN UNION. One hundred and eighteen years ago Benjamin Franklin left the sum of five thousand dollars to the city of Philadelphia to found an industrial school The building has been lately opened which was paid for by the principal and the interest of the fund left by "Poor Richard," then better known as "the celebrated Dr. Franklin." After a hundred years the fund, of five thousand dollars has reached about . one-third of a million dollars (which Is a commentary on the investment of the money.) The trustees of the fund took the pains to Interest Mr. Carnegie in the enterprise with the result that he contributes an amount, equal to the sum oh . hand, withwhich to furnish an Income for the .Franklin Union. . The purpose of the school will be to encourage industrial training along the line of the Cooper Union in New York City. Practical men will be the instructors and particular emphasis win De tne advancement or men in a trade which is already theirs. There will not be long lectures on the theory of the trade but there will be actual instruction in shop work. The decay of the system of appren ticeship in modern industrial life has left a gap which It is hard to till and which can only be filled by the methods employed by the too few practical schools in this country along the lines indicated. The story of the rise of the printer's apprentice, young Benjamin Franklin, is In itself only an illustration of what the possibilities of his bequest are. It is particularly appropriate that his money should be employed so practical a way., . For Poor Richard was one of the most practical philosophers. THE FORESTRY SERVICE. The announcement that Chief Forester Pinchot is coming to talk to

Richmond business men, calls attei Uon to the work of the forestry serv ice in this country. Of all the Import ant countries, we have been the las to recognize the importance of ou national resources. The forestry service is our youngest service, ye its influence is already beginning tbe felt all over the United State where there are any wood lots left It is important for those who are i: any way affected by the lumber question to come to a realization of wha can be done to Improve present cond: tions. All the European countries have drastic laws to prevent fores murder and cutting is only allowed i; such cases as will actually improvf the forest. Here, on the other hand although a reaction has set in all ove the country against cutting (causec by the natural increase in price) cut ting has not been done and is not nov being done so as to promote th growth of such valuable trees as th ash and other slow growing trees. It is the mission of the forestry service to tell people how they can cut their mature trees in such fashion as not only to derive Immediate but per manent profit Therefore all those who are interested directly or indirectly In the for est problem (and who Is not?) car profit directly by hearing what the Chief Forester has to say. Good forests are just as important as good roads.

HEARST LETTERS NOT THE FIRST TO PLA Y A PART IN NATIONAL POLITICAL CAMPAIGN

William Randolph Hearst is not the i lrst person who exploded bombs in residential campaigns bv means of ! etters in which political leaders figred. Nor did his letters do quite as auch destruction as some of those f the past Foraker, Haskell and associates vho were hit by the disclosures of the sew York editor can if they wish, xiint out many persons who have ex perienced a similar discomfiture and ;ome of them, too, were presidential andidates. In fact ever since the days f the fictitious "Baron Roorback." etters which have dynamite in them -ave appeared in every second or third residential canvass. Sometimes they . lave come oftener. Near the close of the Cleveland-Har-' ison campaign of 1S88 a letter from .ord Sackvllle, the British minister t Washington, to a person signing himself "Charles F. Murchlson." was uibllshed which created a stir in dem-1 icratlc and republican headquarters. "Murchison" who pretended to be a 'ormer British subject who was now laturalzed, asked Lord Sackville vhich of the two candidates he, as a lover of England ought to vote for In he approaching election. The guile less minister fell into the trap which had been set for him, and responded hat a vote for Cleveland would be more advisable for him, as a friend of England, than would a vote for Harison. This letter was immediately liade public, and the republican press and stump speakers hailed It as evi-1 dence that England wanted Cleveland o be re-elected. Most of the repubicans who made use of this letter in 'his way supposed at the moment that; 'Murchison" was a real person, and that he, actually sought the Information which Lord Sacxvllle gave him. The important point, however, so far as there was any importance at an to the correspondence was that Sack ville made this disclosure. Many of the republicans therefore called Cleveand the "British candidate," and doubtless he lost some votes on that account. It la possible, though im probable that this bogus "Murchlson" may have turned the scale in New York, in which, out of 1,300,000, votes Harrison's plurality,, was only 13,000 The result was that poor,., .Sackville was sent out of the country for his indiscretion, and he never received a first class mission afterward. The Maria Halpin letters wer used against Cleveland in the canvass of 1884, but they evidently did not change many votes. They were much more than offset by the Mulligan let ters, which were used against Blaine, These letters first came up in the canvass of 1876, and defeated Blaine for the nomination, in that year. Blaine was by. far. the most popular of all republican aspirants at that time. Grant was near the end of his term, and in tended to step down on the following March 4 and make a tour of the world. The third term movement, which was to take ofrmal shape four years later had not yet received any impetus. The list of aspirants to succeed Grant included Blaine, Morton . of Indiana, Brlstow, Conkling, Hartranft of Penn sylvania, Hayes of Ohio and one or two others. The chances were at the beginning of 1876 that Blaine would get the nomination on the first, ballot But. at a fatal moment for him the railway .disclosures were spruug upon the country. They were in the shape of letters between Blaine and Warren Fisher in connection with the Little Rock and Fort Smith railroad, and these letters fell into the hands of a man named Mulligan w-ho had been a former clerk for Fisher. Shortly before the meeting of the republican national convention of 1876 the house of representatives of which Blaine was a member, formed a committee to investigate ; the charges against Blaine, and Blaine coming into possession of the letters made a dramatic defense before the house,, which convinced, many republicans, as well as democrats, . of his . innocence, notwithstanding some things which looked strange. Just as the national convention., met Blaine had an attack ot sunstroke, and then the investigation was dropped. ..It was believed for thf moment that Blaine would die, but lie was struggling rfor, ,moral and . political as well as physical life, and socn recovered. Notwithstanding, the attacks which .were made upon .him by his democratic and republican enemies Blaine had a long lead over all hisrivals on many ballots. Beginning with a vote of 285 he gradually increased hls strength , until the , seventh and last ballot, when lie had votes, 379 being necessary to a choice. A concentration among his rivals began to take place, however, one or two ballots earlier, and the strength of several of them was thrown to Hayes, and he was nominated. Hayes' vote on the final ballot, however was only 3S4, as compared with 351 for Blaine. Morton, Conkling, Hartranft and others dorpped out and most of their votes went to Hayes, the dark horse, and he .was nominated. ;. The Mulligan, scandal .was used against Blaine in the convention of 1880. in wh'ch he was an aspirant for the nomination, and it figured prominently in the canvass of 1884, in which he was Cleveland's opponent It is altogether probable that this, Little Rock and Fort Smith complication turned more than enough votes against Blaine to account for his defeat, for Cleveland's lead in the decisive state of New York was only 1047. . Garfield, who as the dark horse in the fight carried oft the prize in the convention of 18SO, was beset on more sides even than Blaise in 1S76 or 18S4 or Cleveland in 1888; but he was tri-

to have been associated in a discreditable wav with the Tie riolver contracts

for pavement for the city of Wash- Jackson, Crawford. Clay and John ington in 1872. Garfield was the at- Qulncy Adams had received votes in torney for the De Golyer company and the electoral college, and in which received a fee of $3,000, for which he Adams was chosen by the house of redid no work warranting any such pay- presentativts when the contest went

ment The charge therefore, was that the money was given to him as a bribe tor his influence as a ineniDer of congress. Then, too, the Credit Mobiller disclosures, of 1873 came up to impede him. It was charged that he received money in connection with the building of the transcontinental railroads and "329," the amout whicn was traced to him, figured on the posters and in the democratic newspapers during the campaign of 1SSO. It was said at the time that these charges seriously embarrassed him, though whether they took away many votes from him can not now be told with any confidence. A far more serious blow to Garfield was the canard known as the Morey letter, which appeared near the end of the canvass. It was in the shape of a note, purporting to have been written by Garfield to H. L. Morey of the Employers' union of Lynn, Mass., and dealt with Chinese labor, then a burning issue. In it the writer said that "individuals or companies have the right to buy labor where they can get it the cheapest" He added that our treaty of immigration with the Chinese government should be "religiously observed" until abrogated, and declared moreover, that he was not pre pared to say that it should be abrogated" at that time. The letter appeared in a New York daily paper called the Truth, was published two weeks before the election, and millions of copies of the paper were circulated all over the country by the democratic national committee. Many hundreds of thousands of them were distributed throughout the Pacific coast. Largely on this account Garfield lost California, all except one electoral vote, and also lost Nevada. He carried New York, however, and enough other states to elect him. Immediately after the publication of the letter Garfield declared it to be a forgery, but many jpefgons, who were familiar with his , handwriting said, .; that the r eigna? ture looked . to be genuine. . rXi , was learned on the investigation that there was no ..such person as H. L. Morey in Lynn, and a person who swore to the genuineness of the letter was sent to the penitentiary. But the election of Garfield did much to end the prosecution, and cases which were being prepared against some of the democratic leaders were abandoned. This Morey letter is now recalled by the al leged article by former President Cleveland, recently published, in which Cleveland was made to urge all of his element . of the democracy to vote for Taft, instead of Bryan. Some persons, however ..believe that the withstanding a few suspicious circumstances connected with its advent At any rate, such Inquiry as has been, made thus far does not show that it was bogus. , .. v The "triangular correspondence" among Clay's whig enemies to defeat him for the . nomination for 1840 figured prominently in. the chronicle of the time, but it was not revealed early enough to help Clay. The whig convention which, was to put up a ticket for 1840, was to meet at Harrisburg in December, , 1839, and severeal persons were mentioned prominently in connection with the candidacy. By far the most popular of all these was Clay. He 'had been In public- life, with a 1806. Next to ex-President Jackson, then at the Hermtage, Clay was the most conspicuous man In the country. But Thurlow Weed and some of the other whig politicians believed that Clay was an unlucky candidate, and they were on the searchc for somebody woh eould . carry the country, even though he lacked Clay's claims

pirant. and incited some of the most i ien8in iK as aruem annexauonastute of the whig managers to look lst- was brought forward, and he won

for a candidate who would lack the Clay hoodoo. They concentrated upon Harrison and they revived the memyro of a long-forgotten battle, that at Tippecanoe. In his favor. The mode of proceedings by Clay's whig opponents was well calculated to accomplish Its purpose. When Clay at Thurlow Weed's Invitation, visited New York in the summer of 1839. Weed cautiously "sounded" him on the question of his withdrawal from the race for the nomination. Weed told Clay that he probably could not carry the state of New York, at the same time Weed said that he personally preferred Clay to any body whose name had been coupled with the nomination. Clay refused to withdraw. Then came what Clay's old friend, Henry A. Wise, the man who afterwards as governor of Virginia, hanged John Brown, termed the "triangular correspondence," participated in by Whig bosses in different parts of the state. One would tell another to "do all you can for Clay In your region, for he has no strength In this section." The person to whom this letter was directed would show it to many Whig local chieftains., he, .at the same, time, pretending to be ardently in favor-of Clay's rcandldacy. By this means the three, false friends of Clay worked up a sentiment against him . which, by come sharp practice in the convention, enabled them to defeat him, to defeat also, the will of the Whig voters, and to nominate Harrison. . .In. the campaign of 1840 Harrison swept the country, but he lived only a month after entering office. A revulsion of feeling In Clay's favor Immediately set in, and he was the unanimous choice of his party in 1844, but was defeated at the polls by Polk. Polk Object of Forged Tale. Polk was the object of a forged tale In that canvass, which doubtless took away . some votes from him, but not enough to defeat him. tn September, 1844, an Ithaca (N. Y.) paper published an extract from what purported to be a book, entitled Roorback's "Tour Through the- Western and Southern States In 1836," which told of a camp of slave drivers on Duck River, and said that forty-three of the slaves had "been purchased of Hon. J. K. Polk, the present speaker of the house of representatives, the mark of the branding Iron, with the initials of his name, on their shoulders, distinguishing them from the rest" This Polk, who was speaker of the house at the time that the bogus Roorback saw this alleged camp was the Polk who was then the democratic a candidate for president, and who was to be voted for a few weeks later. Thurlow veeas paper, the Albany Evening Journal, lmmediately copied this pretended dis closure against Polk, and it went the rounds of all the Whig papers In the country. , Polk promptly denied it and everybody now knows it to have been

false. Many ot the Whig leaders who repeated the story in 1S44 doubtless knew it to have been untrue at the time. This particular tale, however, has given a descriptive term to the forged stories which have often appeared since then in political canvasses. Thus the roorback became part of the terminology of politics. A letter from Jackson, then In retirement, in favor of the annexation of Texas, written Just before the canvass of 1S44, helped . to defeat Jackson's friend Van Buren for the nomination in that year. The letter was obtained by some of Van Buren's democratic energies and was published just at the psychological moment to be used against him. It was known that Van

Buren was opposed to the annexation and the United States. Questioned as to his attitude on this question, which was at that moment the paramount issue. Van Buren expressed himself cautiously against annexation. This turned a large majority of the southern delegates to the convention against him. He led for several ballots, but at kS W - 11.
