WIND-BORNE GERMS.
—
That the microbe of smallpox given
off from the patients' skin, among
other sources. are liable to be borne
by the air, and thus conveyed to infect
those unprotected by vaccination or
others who may be susceptible to at-
tack, is now an accepted dictum of
sanitary science, says the Londen
Chronicle. Dr. Threshmedical health
officer for Essex, in a late paper has
an interestingremark to the effect
that while it is difficult to fix the ex-
act distance to which small -pox
germs may be carried by the air, and
yet be capable of infecting those ex-
posed to trteir influence, a -distance of
two or possibly three miles may be re-
garded as the maximum limit. This
much Dr. Thresh infers from the
Essex experiences of wind -born infec-
tion from hospital ships moored in the
Thames, the infection having been
found to bear a distinct relation to the
prevailing winds. Graves lie from
three to four and a half miles from
the ship, and doubts if the wind-borne
germs extend so fete The influence of
the air deteriorates their infecteeee

Conderns Ross Governmsn t

The Christian'Gaurdian, the organ
of the Methodist chureh,. edited by
Rev, Dr. Courtice, contains in the
current issue a long editorial on the
recent speeches of Premier Ross, Mr.
London, March 21. -Peace is agai
in the air, Last night wesb end club
were greatly excited by the news, tha
Mr. Schalk Burger, the Boers' actin
President. with Secretary Reitz, an
Commandants Lucas, Meyer an
Krogh, had come into the Bribish
lines under a flag of tence, and had
gone south into the Orange River
Siolouy. This surprising intelligence
is generally understood to rneen that
negotiations on the subject of a pos-
sible peace are once more in progress,
Mr. Schalk Burger and his compan-
ions have, perhaps, gone south with
the object of meeting Lord Kitchener,
who is believed to be in the field south
of the Vaal. The disturbing question
is whether the negotiations between
Mr. Schalk Burger and Lord Kitchen-
er will deal with a general Boer sub-
mission or will merely affect the im-
mediate following of the leaders
who have come in. The fact that Gen.
Botha is not taking part in the
negotiations affords ground for the
view that there is no question of a
general surrender. The universal
opinion, notwithstanding, is that the
prospects for peace are brighter than
they have been for many days,
The Standard telegram states that
Lord Kitchener, after all, is in Pre-
toria, and the Boer delegates had an
interview with him at his headquart-
ers there. They afterwards lefb for
Kroonstad,Orange River Colony, from
which place they will go out under
safe conduct. Mr. Schalk Burger and
his companions, it appears, had been
stationed itt Rhenoster Kop, north of
Balmoral, for the past week. The
Boer acting President bad been, when
there, geeatly harried by Colonel Park
and other British commanders, and on
one occasion he had a narrow escape
from being captured. The Boer posi-
tion being increasingly hopeless, de-
spatch riders were sent into Balmoral
on Friday night intimating thab the
delegates weuld arrive there.
Amsterdam March 25 - Abraham

a Whitney and Ur. Martin ou the load-
s ed prohibition referendum. The
t Guardian praises the leader of the
g Opposition for his manly stand, while
d not altogether agreeing with, him, and
d severely handles the Premier, for
throwing down the men who have
supported him ever since he entered
into public life, intimating that "the
trodden worm will turn at last."
In part the Guardian says :
We commend Mr. Whitney for his
1 frankness, for the clearness and cour-
age of his statement. We admired
these: qualities in the Eon. Alexander
Mackenzie and Sir John S. D. Thomp-
son. When the policy of it leader or
of a party is constantly alluring but
delusive it becomes exasperating. We
wish that we could see more effective
temperance reform in Mr." Whitney's
policy,
Whave been patient with the Gov-
ernment, considerate of their difficul-
ties and. not disposed to fault-finding
or to extreme demands. We have
waited for all the light of discussion.
We say now -and say it in sorrow -
that the Liberal party, judged by its
exponents in Parliament, is placing
upon the prohibitionists a heavier
task than was ever required of them
before and. is demanding that tark ur-
der the roost difficult conditions. We
are required to poll 213,500 votes in
order to secure prohibition, The pleb-
iscite vote of 1894 taken on the day of
the municipal elections was 180,000.
That vote was declared by Sir, Oliver
Mowat and by Mr. Ross as a surpris-
ingly strong and decisive vote. We
are now asked on a special day to go
beyond that by over 80,000. One of
the most inajoat and uureasonable
features ot the present basis is that it
is a fixed. and inflexible standard, no
matter what may be the size of the
total vote. As a further discourage-
ment we are asked to do it on. a, day
in November separate from all other
interests. Mr. Ross indulged in some
oratory in this matter wherein he de-
rided the man who was afraid to come
out and be counted and magni-
fied the heroes who suffered fax their
cause. This is all right, but it should
apply to members of the House as
well as electors in the constituencies.
The application of this oratory was
that those who favored. taking the
vote on the day of the municipal elec-
tions were either themselves vowards
or were nroviding an: earway fax
I Galers who were towards. Mr. Ross
1 iiWrIn elsPitifial5tevovvreef all Mr. Rass' oratory. If
atshev very ni unfairpai,.ained ki
culloniaand,
the day in November is chosen, if
present conditions remain unchanged
and if nothing intervenes to relieve us
of the burden put upon us, we will do
all we van to get a large vote, but we
expeet flab the result will be the
plainest and most positive condemna-
tion of the preversity of the Liberal
party. The task upon us is unreason-
able and the conditions under which
the task is to be performed are the
most difficult. We have heard of
hard task -makers and of rebellion
from their rale.
