EVENING EDITION.
HOUSE HOLD SANITATION.
The Sanitary Monitor is the name
of a monthly journal published at
Richmond, Va.,by Dr. J. F. Winn,
devoted to individual, family and
public health. The first number is
before us. It is quarto size of four
teen pages, terms $1 a year. The
most important article in the initial
number is the annual address of Dr.
Robert J,. Hicks, before the Medical
Society of Virginia in September,
1884. The theme is "Hveiene, in
, Relation to the Private Family."
; V-The subject is discussed with the
- '
scientific thoroughness which marks
the professional papers of Dr. Hicks.
The theme is most important and
because it concerns every house
holder in the land. The Stab has
many times from the unprofes
sional standing-point assayed to
enforce the necessity of sanita
tion and cleanliness in the
household. There are at least one
hundred deaths annually in the city
of Wilmington that need not to have
occurred. ' Thorough sanitation and
proper observance of hygienic laws
would have saved them from sick
ness and death. The most import
ant business of a wise and advanced
Legislature is to provide for the pub
lic health. When the commercial,
value of one man is considered,
aside from any humane interest, the
duty of the legislator is apparent. !
There is a beginning in North Caro
iina in the agitation of questions con
cerning the health of the people, but
as yet it is but a beginning. Peo
ple are so ignorant, so careless, so
thoughtless that they neglect the
simplest laws of health and meet
more than half way , grim death with
his all-sweeping scythe.
A strong appeal is made to the wo
men
of the land. To them mainly
depends whether there shall be health
in the household. So says the learned
Dr. Richardson, and so thinks Dr.
Hicks and all enlightened physicians.
.. Dr. Hicks, referring to public legisla
tion, shows what it can do where its
r. powers are limited. He says:
"Public legislation, while every way de-
sirable, can do little else than establish gen-
I ' erai laws or quarantine against the great
i plagues, enforce vaccination, guarantee the
I su pply and purity of the matter, and see by
f wholesome inspection that the supply of
i - water is sufficient in quantity and pure in
quality, which involves the great question
1" v v of drainage. But it cannot enter the private
i' - house, except in a verv general wav: it nan.
i ' not reform the domestic habits, regulate thC
2 iuaie poncing, or eniorce purity in the
r private wells. On these principles, after all,
J- . mainly rests Ihe health of the family. The
, nation is but an aggregation of individuals,
j - As is the individual, so ja the nation, in
f " ' this respect as in others. ? Tnnin nrt m.-
" fiilH6" V day P.aTin8 the penalty of the
.- lauauiianis. '
j He says that even consumption is
largely preventable disease. He

, , of death by this fell disease is trace-
- ame.to -. hereditary influences.
eaya seventy-four per cent.
He
are
charged to ' damp air, insufficient
foodpoverty and filth. , We quote :
i "It is an admitted "fact, abundantly
proved by atatiatics, nhatjlainpneas .of soil
is an important cause of tuberculosis, to the
population living on that goiL and that the
improvement produced by draining the
subsoil, in lessening the amount of con
sumption is marked.' Are we not indi
vidually responsible for the drainage of our
locations ?"
! Jhst here, wo mav add, that there
is abundant evidence, as we believe,
to establish the fact that tens of
thousands of cases of genuine con
sumption (phthisis pulmonalis) are
curable. It can be cured often, if
properfySreated, as other cases are
cured. .Dr. Hicks says:
! "I would like to impress upon the public
the srreat fact that tubercle is not a new
formation.0 dependent upon hereditary
taint It is merely an alteration ot normal
nutrition; a degraded and degenerated
tissue, frequently resulting from neglect of ; I
trivial complaints in connection with a dis-
regard ot ordinary sanitation.
I He says again:
' "In consumption it is the weakened
nutritive system that is inherited, just as it
is the weakened will and the craving appe
tite for alcohol that is inherited by the
drunkard.
"Thia tomlonrv rt mpilipAl men tO COn-
sider more closely the conditions of disease
promises the greatest possible benefit to
mankind."
I But we cannot follow the lecturer
farther. The whole discussion is in
telligent and timely. We are glad
to add that Dr. Hicks is a native of
Granville county, N. C, and until a
few years ago practiced in the coun
ty of his nativity. He now resides
in Fauquier county, Va. Virginia
in former years sent some of its best
'physicians to North Carolina as in
the cases of Professors W. T. How
ard and Otis F. Manson. North
Carolina is glad to be able to return
such favors.
ROACH AND THE DOLPHIN.
; John Roach may come out better
than we at first thought. It seems
that the Dolphin was constructed
under the super?ision of the Advi
sory Board of the Navy Department
and according to its plans. Roach
insists that he is not responsible for
the failure of the vessel as he worked
according to the model and under
3
orders. ' The Board gave him the
design to work by and it certified as
to its completeness. As far as
Roach's responsibility is concerned,
if his statement is sustained by
facts, he is relieved of the suspi
cion of any premeditated design
to construct and palm off an unsea
worthy craft. But what of the Ad
visory Board? What should be done
with such a miserable set of incom
petents? If Roach is really a skilled
ship builder what did he think of the
, . . M d while work-
:i . u
I 1 1 ir II. 1 1 1 1 1. fill, lin urilBVB 1L HUU1U uc
successful? He must have been sat
isfied or as an honest and efficient
; constructor he wonld have protested
against the plan and been saved the
mortification of a failure.
The able Secretary of the Wavy,
Mr. Whitney, has referred the mat-
ter to Attorney General Garland.
The "New York Times says of his
action :
"He is unwilling to allow the people's
money to be thrown away in paying for a
vessel that may be almost worthless de
fective in speed, structural strength, power,
and details of construction, and unfitted for
use in the kind of service for which she
was designed but he apparently fears that
the part played by the Advisory Board in
planning her and supervising the builder's
work will force the Department to take her
and make the best of a bad bargain."
The plagiarizing college essayist for 1885
Is. alas! a young woman from Spencer, N.
x., who took tbe Hall prize at JSJnura Col
lege with an essay on "The Future of the
Western Man," which was taken almost
bodily from a Century paper by Charles
Dudley Warner. ThU. Record.
Pilfering on commencement occa
sions is no new thing, raraamg
one's self in borrowed plumes is as
old, we may suppose, as college cele
brations. We once heard a Senior
at the University speak as his own
composition some excellent selections
from George Gilfillan's literary es
says. We heard another Senior, in
the same class, deliver a composition
we saw the late Maj. Seaton Gales
write for him. We know that per
sons are often applied to for help,
and years ago the writer made a good
fee by writing a debate for a student
in a certain Southern college. One
page of crude original matter is far
better than a ream of pirated litera
ture. This is aside from the moral
question involved.
A very "Clever writer, Maurice
Thompson, lives' in the North but
was iborn in the South. He may be
like Cable, only a Yankee living
among Southern people. But we do
not speak advisedly jtnd will do him
no injustice. He is a man of superior
gifts and has written several novels
that have attracted attention in the
reading North. His stories are "A
Tallahassee Girl," "His Second
Campaign," and "At Love's Ex
tremes." The Baltimore American
begins its notice of the ; last named
by saying: -
"There is no more graceful writer in the
country than Mr. Thompson; ,The word
elegance fitly describes his style, and when-
ever he turns out a piece of liter&ry work itrl
is always complete,- eacn sentence is poi-1
ished . and
every-cnapier is s'J-
finished'
Pi.
The scene is laid in the mountains
of Alabama. Mr. Thompson
mpsdn has
also published a book on "Archery"
and we believe, some years ago, pub
lished a volume of stories --and
sketches of Indiana life. ?S' r) 7 A 7
The apprOpriationmSd5by Mis-
sissippi tor eaucauonai purposes is
considerably larger than it is in any
other Southern State. It is $803,875,.,
or '.63 of one per cent, on the taxable
property. North Carolina comes
next, unless Virginia leads, the re
port of which we have not at hand,
with $722,153, or .35 of one percent,
of the total taxable property.
Ala-
baraa realizes $570,000 or .30 of one
per cent.; South Carolina $ 389,211,
or .25 of one per cent., while Georgia
the boasted Empire State, raises but
$483,633, or .15 of one per cent.
North Carolina levies more than
double the tax that Georgia does,
whilst Mississippi is four times
a a
heavier.

CURRENT COMMENT.
If any rule as to these people
is to be established, it would be
fairer and better that every post
master in this section should prima
facie be held to be an offensive par
tisan, and that the burden of proof
should be placed, upon him to purge
I himself satisfactorily. Macon (Ga.)
I Telegraph, Bern. The common and
very just ruie ui assuming every
man to be innocent until be is proved
to be ffuiltv. mav auite likely be
properly applied to Federaloffieials
in the North, where it is held that
the Republican party has been
rruided bv an enlightened civil tol-
icy. But the case is very different
here. The Federal officials in the
South were appointed, under circum-.
stances that should cause every one
ot them to be suspected ; they were
appointed as enemies qf our people
and institutions, and for the mfa-
mons purpose of organizing the ne-
- - . . , ! -1
groes against tne wnues ana corrupt
ly influencing our elections, the sala
ries, perquisites' and stealings of the
Federal omces being their compensa
tion for this despicable service. Tbe
guilty ones may be counted by the
hundred; the very fact of their hold
ing office is prima facie evidence of
their offensive partisanism and cor
ruption, prima facie evidence that
can only be removed by clear and in
disputable testimony to the contrary.
JNot only tbe -Postmaster, General,
but every member of the Adminis
tion 'should adopt this rule of judg
ing these peopu, vizrtbat every offi
cial is guilty until he proves his inno
cence. JVeto Orleans States, Dem.
Salisbury is the very expo
nent and exemplar-of-British aris
tocracy. His family name is Gas
coy ne Cecil, and in it is represented
the bluest strain of Norman blood in
all England. In religious tendencies
he -rather affects the Exeter Hall
school, which is very much interested
in the heathen, and favors the pro
pagation of the Gospel among the
Jews. Lord Salisbury is extremely
passionate in his temper and rather
illiberal to others, and straightlaced
withal. How he will get on with
Sir nenry Wolfe and Baron Worms

business and Israelites is rather a

He is the very genius of the place;
his presence or absence makes all the
difference whether Parliament is in
finitely interesting or absurdly lull.
Ihe chief reason of this is because
he is so frankly human. There is
Tnot an emotion of the sensitive and
Weak human heart of which he is not
the ready-victim; attack;, enrages,

How We Reduce tbe Debt.
Country Gentleman.
Night and dav, every day in the
year, we are lessening the debt $100
a minute, mis is aoout ine rate at
which the United States Government
is paying off its indebtedness, and is
hardly one third as fast during seve
ral previous years. But $100 a min
ute amounts to only $42,560,000 an
nually, or scarcely 75 cents, during a
whole year, for each of tho inhabi
tants of our great country. 1 he most
of it, however, is paid by the wealthy,
who do not feel it, and by a tax upon
a few articles of luxury. But, were
it equally divided, there are few who
would not cheerfully contribute this
small amount (75 cents) for the sake
of sustaining the splendid reputation
our country enjoys throughout the
world as a prompt, honest, debt-pay
mcr people.

No man has a right to read on
a

sight may be transmitted to his
posterity. The harm done to some
people s eyes by the common practice
of reading in the street cars is almost
beyond belief. The rapid increase
i in the number of children wearing
spectacles in the public schools is a
matter for immediate scientific in
quiry. ihe usefulness of a citizen
depends largely on accuracy of
vision, and the relations between the
eyes ana the brain are the most
mysterious phenomena of human life.'

In the United States some 150,000
miles of railroad track are now laid,
and this rests on 369,000,000 ties, the
product of 3,960,000,000 acres, an
area larger than the States of Con
necticut and Rhode Island. Thirty
years are required to grow trees of
suitable size, and the average life of
a tie is seven years; therefore 16,971,
420 acres of growing forest are needed
