I THE BUItLINGTON, VT.. FREE PRESS, FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 13, 188S. Tho lit. Albans ilttunger sayst '-The depositors are expressing considerable right eous Indignation over the UVs delay hi 10 gird to the llraincrd eases and tt is certain ly ft matter ot regret thai nur system of Ju dicial proceedings permit! of suih delay In any case which, like tuts, touches R ) largo a portion of tho country, and demands such suintwiry trca'.ment." Toe system Is un doubtedly a bad otic ; but Inasmuch as un. tier circuni'laticca closely analogous linen has been brought to trial at Holland, tho dc. lay at Si. Albms c.tu not bo wholly altnbu. ted to the sistcin. Thu New York Tribuns says Undo lien liuttcr Is near-sighted, hut It Is a fact that he hasa long range vlcwof the Democratic iiotn- lnatlon neit year anil baa his gun aimed straight at thu mark. The 1'ribum Is proba. bly right, but tho doughty Hen is going to miss at the short range, and tin n whe re, oh where, will tc his chances at thu long range? The Massachusetts Republicans are making a right rigorous fight and have been gaiulug ground every day sinco Mr, Robinson's noui, lnatlon ; and tho present outl ok is decided ly favorable for a Republican victory. The postmaster general Is npcclcd to le commend in his anuual report that the unit of weight in letter postage bo made one ounce Instead of half an ounce. Ueo. 11 en, the third assistant, says that cases o lou occur when double postage Is charged on a letter which turns the half 0111 cj on the scales of ouo office and does noltpilie Lai nnco in another. Sometimes a leticr width weighs half an ounce when inulieit will ab sorb so much moisture cn route, as to require the exaction of a double rato at Its destina tion. The great bulk of letters weigh less than half au ounce aud tt is believed that the increase of the limit will not materially (.fleet the revenues, whilo it w ill save a great deal of labor and nnnoyancc. W. II. 11. Murray docs not receive particularly cordial reception from the press on hlsrcappeirauccin public life. Tho Provi dence Journal thinks that he Is a warning of the necessity of absolute intellectual honesty for any real or lasting influiuco : the New York Ettning I'ott suggests that Mr. Mur ray would betkr open his law olUce Imme diately, pjstponlng agy further demolition ot the I'cnntateucU or of tho theologians, as they will keep, and can bo taken up after ho has built up hit practice and settled with hit creditors, and the New York Mail and Exprcu says that it seems a Dity that a man who undoubtedly knows the goo 1 points of a liorso as well as a profcss'onal jockey, and who can tell a fish story as well as the professional politi cian, should undertake to upset the Bible and ovennrn Christian thodogy. Mr. Stelnway, who It aitlie head of the great piano manufacturing concern, was la fore the Ssnatc committee on labor, the oth'.r day, and, If correctly reported, expressed the opinion that there, are more young men grow log up in the United States without learning Hades or knowing much anyway, than In any otlur country. He thought a good apprentice system was much needed in this country. Whether Mr. titcinway Is cornet In the first of these two opinions, may be a question ; but wo have no doubt that lie is right on the second point. Almost all trades In our country are full of young Journeymen, who have only halt Icarn .jiL.bir.j.fauaarc consequently incap able of doing first-class work. After friend ing a year or two In learning rudiments of a trade, an American bov nmsMnr. i, ,ir ready to graduate as a skilled workman, and expects lo get, and in thousands of cases does get, journeyman's wages. The result Is an Immense amount of Bbabby, imperrici ana expensive work, In every trade requiring skill and experience. Customers and employers suffer together from this condition of things, and will continue to suffer till a good apprentice system secure' longer ai d more thorough training for younjf craftsmeni Whether tho matter, however. can be helped by legislation, Is uoubtful. As Ions as labor Is so much In demand In the arious industrial pursuits, uotaught or half. taught workmen will find ready employment, in spiic ot tneir inexperience. In time, mi haps, the trades will become so stocked wiib workmen that only first-class bunds cau ge first-class wages. Then a thorough tnlnin will bo ciactcd, before n man undertakes t announce himself as a journeyman i atd In order to such training a general and In. ter apprentice system will become a nec is- itjr- TIIK GF.U3ITUF.01t Y GAI.. not Kwg since, the discoveries of Kich and Pasteur, with respect to tho transmit! of disease by bnctcria, or living germs, awoke tremendous enthusiasm among medical mem and roused the most Intense popular interest Apparently, the theory met with immediate acceptance on every hand. Tho medical pro fession hilled Itjas a discovery of genius, and produced undeniable proofs of ita accuracy irom pnvato and professional experience mine me people generally accepted it satisfying method ot accounting for mvsterl ous infection In cases where the disease was not supposed to be communicable. AtJ last, however, tho theory has found an opponent, nr. Itollln It. Gregg has bcci tngiged in series of chemical experiments. which, he claims, will effectually disprove me assumptions ot iioch and Pasteur. Dr, Gregg has satisfied himself that tho micros copic parasites, which these eminent tcien- tuts have supposed to be tho causes of most mscases, are nothing mors or less than granules and pieces of flbrlne. lie dls ovcred the fact In the following manner. lie took a ccrtln quantity of pure flbrlne, and subjected It to a thorough process of boiling, baking and pulverisation. Ho then examined tho mass wnn a very powerful microsome, and dls. covered forms which ho declares were Idcn- ileal with the 3-callcd bacteria found In Im pure blood. The fact that these flbrlne forms eihlblted violent motion, and tho ap- jiarcm uceions or living organizations, ho ex plains ny mo electrical theory. Ho claims that tho apparent 'aoimalculao wero nolh. Ing but polarized granules of flbrlne. What acemcei to bo tho phenomenon of llfo was notning mil violent agitation of narUclea of dead matter, duu to the action of electric. ity. These expeilmenls of Dr. Grertr have occn continued during a considerable nor- lion of tho time slnco Koch's germ theory was announced, and have been conducted In spirit oi ine utmost thorouchnritt Ami ..n or. Whether or not thev will hi... n.a Oei not tOUCh UOOn in thn rpnnrl r.t M. xperlments, Is that of the reproduction of .-.v Hnu.uB w wll nuu I uoicur u been found, beyond question, to propa ate Its kind. Now If Gregg's flbrlne gran- ulcs are, as ho claims, Identical with Koch's bacteria, It must be shown that they luciciise In number among thiinselve-s, nml th-it they elo this not In nn organic wny, but b) n mechanical process of division or separation. If these violently moving forms are not forms of life, the fact that they do produce tlicir kind, when Isolated from other matter, must bo shown to bo reconcilable with tho libitue theory on some such supposition its that of chemical divisibility or inorganic growth. A tccoud condition to be fulfilled by tho theory of Dr. Urcfg Is tint his flbrino pir tlcles of a certain kind must always produce a certain disease, accompanied by a further evolution of particles ot thu s.iinc kind. If he on not show thl, he has proved no part of his assertion that tho moving particles of flbrlne arc idcnlicil with the so-called b.ac tcrla of the germ theory. It it is true that diseases are not comniuul cated by living organisms, but by mere float Ing or flying particles of animal matter, the remedy for Infection Is very plain, nud the matter ot treatment much simplified. Dr. Gregg, In Ui3 course of his experiment, has proved that bent will effectually elestroy nil granules and pieces of fibre. If he Is cor- re-ct, then, in his theory, t'iu tlubornte no Hons of the germ theorists must piss fur non- fense, and the common-sense treitmcnt of disease by therapeutic remedies be re-vindi cated.

These two last proposed amendments had a con spicuous place in the campaign. Tho con stituiion oi uido now has a provision for. bidding the licensing ot the silo eif liquor. It was adopted through tho influence of the piohibilionists, seconded by the liquor sell- cr, who were advised that thu same clause would also prevent the passage of a prohlbl. toryiaw. iiic question whether a urolilbi. lory law would bo unconstitutional ur not has never been actually tested, for no such law has ben passed, and tho sale of liquor uas ueen as iree iioni legal restraint it remi. latlon as that of any merchandise, uutll tho passage by tho Legislature of this year of the ocott law, which imposes a tax of ono bun dred dollars a year upon tho sale of beer and wine, and of two hundred dollars on the silc of distilled splriu The Democrats, of course, were hostile to tho proposed liquor amendments! the Itcnubllcan n.riv In iu platform did not pionouoce in favorof either, but referred them lo the people for their cli-- clslon. Tho prohibitory movement, how cv er, undoubtedly bad a decidedly weakening effect on the party, and lost it many votes. ine nepuoiicans made a handsome rain on last year's vote, but not so large a gnln but that Hoadly, the Democratic candidate tor governor, is elected. His majority is from slx;thousaodtocight thousand. TheLcg islature, too, is Democratic, pretty certainly, thus ensuring the cholro of n Democrat to succeed Senator George II. rcmlleton, whoso term expires in 1885. This result can hardly be called encouraging. It makes verv nhln what was sufficiently obvious before, that tho Presidential contest of next rear will bo one ot the most hard-fought battles in our iiolill cal history and that the Republicans must put up their very best man, if they would hope to win. Ni man who Is merely nvsiiauic, no sicomMato mjn.no man who Lias been Identified with any of tl,c faclional quartets of the past, will fill the bill.
