Palmer of this city contributes - the leading article of the month to \The Aunals of Hygiene,\ published by the University of Pennsylvania Press. It wus dellvored as an address at the First Presbyterfan Church in this city, March 4th, 1896, and all who did not have the good furtune to hear it should not fail to get a copy of The Annals for May. 'The general rules of health are enter- taintugly treated and with an original- ity hardly expected of such a time worn subject, | As a resident of Lockport, Dr. Palmer Is' peculiarly fitted to discuss the problom of contaminated wells. We publish the portion of his address re- tating thereto: . Has not your physician repeu'tedly in- formed you that no well-water in a city Is siufe as a beverage?

(On the contrary, did you not say to him, \Why doctor, our well is a foun- tain of health; the neighbors from all «bout are glad to use it; it is so clear wnd cold and refreshing. That well over there I have been long suspicious ubout, and iin quite sure that should be filled up. But ours! why, it has become i Mecen, ind almost sacred.

They are afraid that their endeavy- ors will be'a case of love's Inbor lost amd that the MeKinley ranks in this state will be swelled by the necession of the Platt-Morton adhorents, in which event from the very force of habit the machine men would feel com- pelted to assume all the responsibility of distributing the federal patron- age should a Republican president be elected by any chance. 'The originals, Mr. Matthews of the Buffalo Express and Mr. Milbolland of the New York Tribune, are evidently deter- mined not to permit iny embarrassing influx at prosent of the Platt heclers. 'The following dispatches from Niag- ara Falls and Canandaigua to the Buf- trio Times must send a cold chill down the' backs of the men who were the first to get out and shout for the Ohio man: Niagara Falls, May 10.-Some facts that leaked out here yesterday show that the visit of ex-Senator Warner Miller was not accidental, He came by appointment, and was promptly met by Major Low, General Flagler aud Peter A. Porter, Miller had more important business than to see tl§e Falls. His mission was to enlist his old lieutenants in the new movement to follow the inevitable bolt from Mor- ton to MceKinley, Warner Miller as- pires to lead the MeKinleyites in this State, He is the first prominent leader to bolt Morton and it is believed here he has already been promised the pat- ronage of this State. It is said the Re- publican machine bosses have unre- servedly pledged thmeselves to the movement and at the proper time -will come out for McKinley and look to Miller for their reward. 22 It is arrauged to have a big political meeting cither here or at Lockport, early in June, when Niagara's Big Four lllsworth, Low, Flagler, and Merritt will take charge of the McKinley boom, and the original McKinleyites will be out in the cold. Peter A. Portgr has been a McKinley man on the quiet all through. He would like to succeed Postmaster Horn. Major Low wants the collectorship just one more term. Merritt wants to go to Congress. 'Geu. Flagler will be content if he can dictate a few appointments. 'The machine is preparing for a coup that will astonish the Clark men, and it is probably, even now, too late to prevent its consumma- tion. Canandaigua, May 19th. 'The organization of McKinley clubs in this district with the approval of Senator Raines shows conclusively that Platt is fixing things for a grand trans- formation scene, when he will suddenly abandon Morton and take charge of the McKinley boom or any other boom that seems certain to win at St. Louis. Raines, Higgins and Warner Miller have already taken a position that will enable them to start on a new track when Platt gives the signal A show of resistance to McKinley will be kept up until the time for a general bolt ar vives. McKinley of course desires to have ithe State machine with him ,and will welcome the deserters. Platt, Miller, Raines, Higgins, Ellsworth and the smaller machine fry will thus se- cure all the State patronage. The origi- nal MceKinleyites will be left out in the cold when the break comes. agee The New - Hampshire Democrats came boldly to the front yesterday with a clear-cut declaration for sound money. In their platform at.the state convention yesterday they iuserted this money plank: \First that under present conditions there can be but one standard of value, and that every kind of currency should rest upon a gold basis as long as gold is the standard recognized by the great commercial nations of the world; and we heartily commend the action of President Cleveland in so firmly main- taining our public credit and faith in the face of formidable opposition.\ 'The tariff plank was well worded and deserves the careful consideration of the New York Democracy. It is as follows: . \Second we favor a system of tariff taxation so adjusted as to produce the necessary revenues to meet the pres- ent expenses of an honest Government, with the least possible burden upon the people, and afford such incidental pro- tection as will meet the requirements of American captial and labor.\ The descendants of the Green Moun- tain boys had something to say about the Monroe doctrine too, declaring that it \embodies our idea of National self. defense and should be vigorously main- tained.\ : monn e ages In republishing our observations on the comparative uselessness of dormi- convention, the Buffalo Times ac- knowledges that \they never sleep.\ Even if our guosts the last night or two show some inclination to woo the god of slumber they will be pursuaded to follow other channels of pleasure very readily. Lockport will have fun by the acre, stacked up and to spare. 'The visitors will have to improve every shining hour, by sunlight and by elec- tric light to harvest the \whole crop. 'They will lave to come early and stay late. Dormitories!

DCX'S REVIEW OF THE WEEK. It is now the middle of May, too late for business to change materially until the prospects of coming crops are as- sured, and detinite shape has been given to the Presidential contest by the con- ventions. 'To date the outlook for crops is highly encouraging, and a good yield would greatly improve the prospect for all business. But until the furture is more clear there is a prudent disinelina- tion to produce much beyond orders, or to order beyond immediaite and certain needs.' If this waiting | spirit prevails two months longer, it will crowd into the last half of the year an enormous business, if the outook then is good. For the present there is less business on the whole than ayear ago, though in some branches more, and the delay fol- lowing months of depression is to many trying, and cuases numerous fdilures. Textile mills are not yet gaining. Enormous bargain sales of cotton dress goods and of ready made woolen cloth- ing have hindered orders at any price which the mills can afford to take, and must have partly supplied needs of con- sumers. For some cotton goods a more active demand appears, and low grade bleached are an eighth higher, but Lonsdale and Fruit of Loom bleached 4-4 goods are cut to 6% cts., and unsold stocks of many kinds are heavy. Cur- fililmeut of production, partly by inten- tion and partly by difference about wages, has not yet brought the improve- ment hoped for. Sales of wool have been n little larger the past week, 8,- 543,200 lbs. at the three chief markets, but for two weeks only 6,539,200 lbs. against over 11,000,000 lbs. last year and in 1892. The large drives in cloth- ing have cleared out stocks of some reaQy made consumers, but check new business, and the general disposition is to postpone orders as far as possible. Failures for the first week in May show liabilities of $4,138,871 against $3,009,272 last year, and $1,937,538 in 1894. Manufacturing wore $1,001,398 against $1,006,666 last year, and $482, 606 in 1804, while trading were $3,066, 425 against $2,002,706 last year, and $1,490,022 in 1894. The increase is less than well known results of last year's operaticns had led many to expect, and is mainly in a few branches of business. Failures for the week have been 224 in the United States, against 211 last year, and 33 in Canada against 37 last year. 80 HBE CAN'T CLIMB UP.
