During tlie past two weeks we
have been approached a number of
times and asked the question if
there was Diptheria in town. We
have been told by several different
persons that they had reasons to
believe that there was, and had in
consequence kept their children
from school 011 account of the
ruuior.
The health officer has lieen in
terviewed and his reply is to tlie
effect that there is not any Dip
theria iu town, that he lias not lial
a case himself, nor does he know
of a case; that if any of the other
physicians have had a case It lias
not been reported to him. We
have made inquiry and can find no
evidence that there is, or has been,
a case in town.
Of course, if there has been no
case of Diptheria there could not
be a report made that there was.
But, if there has been a case and
the attending physician lus failed
to report the same, then that phy
sician has been guilty of gross
negligence and the people •should
know it.
We hope that the rumor is false
and that the people will soon be
satisfied that there was a mistake
in the report.
Very few people comparatively
have arty adequate idea of the iiti
ineuse cost of producing a modern
daily newspaper, particularly in tin
large cities of the country. Sotin
authentic figures 011 the subject
have recently been mode public and
will doubtless occasion surprise t
the uninformed. The "composi
tion" (printers' weekly pay roll)
for instance on the Baltlmori
American is $2,00 c; on the Bostoi
Qlobe, $4,200; on the Globe Demo
crat, $3,000; on the New York
Herald, $4,000; and other paper.-
iu proportion. Bills for special tel
egrams are another big item of ex
pense.. On the Chicago llerald 11
lew years ago they run to $4,500
per mouth; St. Louis Clolie
Democrat. $12,000; Snn Francisco
Examiner, $8,000; Boston Herald,
$(>,000; ami St. I«ouis Republic,
$4,000. Then there is the white
paper bill which is greater than
the others combined. On the New
York World it is said to 11111
$700,000 per year and on the New
York American about the same;
on the Chicago News about
$250,000 anil on the Boston Globe
aud Herald about $350,000 each;
on the Enquirer about $366,d00,
and 011 many other papers it runs
from SIOO,OOO to a quarter of a
milliou dclltrs every twelve
months.
'•'What is impulsive insanity?"
asks an exchange. For full par
ticulars, ask some married man
who remembers the time he got up
in the dark and stepped 011 the
baby's tin rattle with his bare feet.
An exchange suggests that we
ought to name our battleships
after our Presidents. Grover
Cleveland would prefer to have a
fishing smack named after him.
