DIR. KoCH's DISCOVERY.

that consumption is a parasitic disease,
which may be artifcially communicated.
This is an interesting piece of informa'
ton, but its practical value is not imme.

step further, and show some available
means OF preventing the inroads of the
parasites by which the human lungs are
attacked with such terrible effect, he
would take a very high rank among the
benefactors of the race. Perhaps the
day is coming when some such safeguard
as has been found so effectual in the case
of smallpox will be found to protect us
from consumption, a disease which is
said to cause one.seventh of the total
mortality Of the world.

THE COST OF A NAVY,

While the discussion is so general
with regard to building some new ships,
at a cost from ten to twelve millions, the
very serious consideration of the cost Of
maintaining a frst-class navy seems to
be overlooked. The Secretary of the
Navy Of Great Britain has just asked
Parliament for an appropriation of fifty.
five millions, to meet the ordinary ex'
penses of that department for the ensu.
ing fiscal year. The British spend this
much yearly in keeping up and improv.
ing their navy; and in order to keep up
their naval supremacy they will have to
continue this rate of expenditure in.

RlA,NE AND SuHrHERD.

The press OF New York City is divid-
ed in opinion with regard to Mr.. Blaine's
status in the investigation of his alleged
completely with Shipherd and others In
the lob to have the Government of the
United States back up the guano swim
die in Peru. There is an utter conflict
of evidence between Blaine and S%hipherd.
Blaine's evidence is made up OF fiat denials
of Shepherds assertions. The ex-Secre-
tary's self-assertion is remarkable. He
presumes largely upon his reputation for
integrity and uprightness. Possibly he
may think the Mulligan letters have
been forgotten. He may be falsely
charged in the matter of the present in
vestigation, but his own denial is not
sufficient to establish his innocence in
the minds OF the people. His air OF Of
Tended dignity before the committee
when questioned by Perry Belmont did
not become him. Before that or any
other lawful tribunal he was no more
than any other the lowliest witness IN
the land. The effort to treat him with
extraordinary consideration because OF
the honorable offices he has held does
credit % Mr.. Belmont's sense OF propri-
ETY. and should have been appreciated by
the witness. He did not appreciate the
delicate courtesy, however, but behaved
with such arrogance that he was handled
without gloves by the young but re-
markably bright Congressman from New
York. The only substantial judgment
that will probably ever be reached in
the case is that OF public opinion, and
this Mr.. Blaine, in view of his aspira-
tons to be President, has a regard for
and this alone. AS already stated, the
refractory witness denied everything.
He denied that he had ever known of
the papers sent to the State Department
about the Cochet claim until Shipherd
had been presented to him. He denied
that Shipherd ever told him about the
offer OF $685. 900 ofsstock to Hurlbut,
and presented a letter from Senator
Blair, who, according to Shipherd, was
present at the time, also denying Ship.
herds assertion. He denied that he had
written "Go in, Steve on the margin
of a dispatch to Hurlbut, and declared
his belief that General Garfield never
heard of the Cochet claim, and that the
alleged conference between Shipherd ant
Hurlbut never took place. The purport
of Mr.. Blaine's explanation Of what he re
ally did was that the Cochet claim received
no more than the ordinary consideration
given to such matters, and that the sub
ject was dropped as soon as Genera
Hurlbut had reported upon the charac
ter of the claim. Mr.. Blaine declared
S~hipherd to be a perjurer, but shrewdl.
added that he was probably irresponsi
BILE by reason of mental unsoundness. l
seems to have occurred to the witnes
that a theory OF mental decisions woul'
be necessary to account for the perfec
harmony between Shepherds testimon.
and the correspondence carried on b,
him at the time OF his dealings with tn

WHAT WILL ARTHUR DO.

The Senate amended the Anti Chinese
bill, which came to it from the House,
in only a few important respects. With
the exception of immigration restricted
for ten, instead of twenty years, it is
essentially the same bill that Mr.. Arthur
has already vetoed. Hence, there is
scarcely a probability that the President
will sign it. Rice of Massachusetts,,
being interviewed in Washington, said (:
eff the other bill was a violation of the
treaty so is this, and unless the Presi-
dent eats his own words, he will have to
veto it again" MI. Rice is correct.

ties who have at different times been badly
taken in by dishonest county officials upon

law passed by the next Legislature doing
away with this bond business. The reason
is that, if State and county officers are not
required to furnish bonds, the people will
be more careful in the selection of men to
fill the various offices. If then they make
a mistake or accidentally get q scoundrel
