A prominent physician of TVashing— ton calls the Post’s attention to the careless manner in which people speak of scarlet fever and scarlatina, as though they were distinct diseases with entirely different symptoms and char- acteristics. I‘he abuse of terms in this way leads to the impression that, while .scarlet fever is a dangerously contag- iious malady. scarlatina is comparati- vely innocuous, and may be treated and approached with measurable im- punity. One frequently hears it said that scarlatina in such a case is now un- der control, and that all danger of its communication to others is over. Thus unthinking persons are thrown off their guard and grave public perils urein- vited. ' Scarlatina is identical with scarlet fever. The term is applied generally to a milder manifestation of certain as- pects of the disease, but' it represents to the experienced physician those more serious kidney complications which are so difficult to treat and which . so frequently find a fatal termination. It is just as contagious, just as danger- ous to those who come in contact with , it, just as greatly to be dreaded in every imaginable .way. To say that scarla- tina is under complete control at any time is to utter the most perilous non- sense. To say that there is no danger of contagion until the resources of science have been exhausted in the work of disinfection is mischicVOus in the last degree. ......... Both Sides. An editorial article in the Tribune some days ago, from the pen of ~Mr. Bromley, gives the following rosy view of the senatorial situation in this state : “The control of the Legislature this year was unusually important, as a Uni- ted States senator to succeed General Hawley, is to be chosen. There seems to be no doubt that General Hawley will be his own successor. I am told upon good authority that upon a. can- vass of the republican members-elect he has a majority in every count in the state, and will have 'two-thir s of the votes in caucus. Two or ”three names have been mentioned as - oppos- ingcandidates, the most prominent of wnich. is that of Governor Bulkeley. . The circumstances under which he has been placed during the last two ears have drawn public attention to him in . an unusual degree, and it is only natu- ral that he should be afi'ected by the de- sire to continue in public life. It is a worthy ambition. and he enjoys the ex- citement of it. He has discharged the duties of the gubernatorial office in a very trying emergency during the last two years, not only with great courage and firmness, but with such ability and efficiency, such readiness and fertility of resource, as to command the appro- bation of all good citizens, and to de- feat at all points the schemes of his op. ponents. It is chiefly because of. his , manifestation of the .qualities which were so much needed :fin such a crisis. that some of the younger, and perhaps, . more enthusiastic republicans, have. ' taken him up as a senjflorial candidate. They like him as a leader,who has cour- age and persistence. But the majority of the party, while givin him great credit for the manner in w ich he has _administered the affairs of the state (I. during the last two years, believe it would be a mistake to send him to the United States Senate in place of the ex- perienced and tried statesman who now represents Connecticut in that body.” A Hartford press dispatch to-day, gives the following equally positive views, so you pays your money and takes your choice : “ The senatorial contest in this State has takeua new turn within the last twenty-four hours. It is now under- stood that ex-Congressman Augustus Brandagee, of New London, will be in- troduced as a third candidate. Mr. Brand agee, it is claimed. would make a. good fight on account of the protract- ed struggle between Hawley and Bulke- ley. It is now conceded that in the caucus Bulkeley will lead Huwley, and his most ardent support-is claim he will win the much coveted honor. ” TERSE TALES‘OFTHE TIMES.
