There is employed in the Smithsonian Institu
ton young chemist of the name of Darling.
distinguished expert who is familiar with the
work Of this young man. says that he is one of
the finest chemists in the country, and that he
will not long remain an underpaid sub-professor
In the Smithsonian, at a salary of only $50 a
manth. This distinguished expert says that
Prof. Darling made the first practical appica-
ton of cocaine in this country, and that if the
knowledge obtained by him in his experiments
could have been utilized by capitalist the young
Professor would now be very rich man. 1t
was through young Darling's experiments that
the knowledge was acquired of the use of cocaine
as local anas1hetic, so that the physicians in
charge of General Grants case yentured to use it.
II was through this Professor that they heard of
Il When he had arrived at complete knowledge
of the practical value of cocaine, enthusiastic
friend went to an energetic capitalist in Wash
ingtor and introduced him to the chemist. They
made proposition to the capitalist to furnish
the money required to put cocaine on the mar
ket and he was to have rwo-thirds Of the profits.
The chemist had with him then large bottle of
cocaine diluted so that it could be taken inward
lv. He tried to Get the capitalist to taste of it,
telling him that if he should take a certain fixed
quantity he would not be able to sleep for fifty
hours, and that his mind would remain clear
throughout the waking period without any dis
tressng reaction afterwards The capitalist did
not dare to try the experiment. at first He said,
"You are trying to poison me-" 1t was not until
Professor Darling took similar dose himself
that he could be prevailed upon to try the drug.
The effect predicted was produced. Yet the cap
italist Gid not appreciate the value of the drug,
and so did not 60 into the enterprise. Prof.
Darling then, in fit of pique gave the result of
his experiments to the public without condition.
The capitalist told the Professor only few
weeks ago that he could have cleared 800, 900
the first year if he had gone into it, Now he has
furnished laboratory for the Professor, and
has told him to 60 ahead and try some other ex-
periments in the direction of his original dis

No Trouble Apprenended.

The superintendent met at the Bates House
last evening to consider the petition of the local
switchmen for an advance in their pay to the
same figures paid for such service at Chicago
Superintendent Whitcomb acted as chairman Of
the meeting during the hour and one half which
they were together. The question of wages
was thoroughly canvassed and while the feeling
was unanimous in favor of increasing the pay for
the switching service, it was equally unanimous
that the roads centering here could not afford
to pay wages of Chicago roads, and as the cost
OF living was much less at Indianapolis than
In Chicago the switchmen should not expect
that their petition would be granted. Yet,
every official present expressed will
ingness to treat the men in this special
branch of the service fairly and pay them what
is reasonable. The superintendent fixed upon
basis of paying for this service which will prob
ably meet the views of the switchmen who had
not demanded, but simply pettioned, for an in
crease in their pay. The superintendent pre-
fer that the basis on which they agreed should
not be made public until their proposition had
been laid before the men, and then, if all parties
are satisfied, that the matter be dropped where it
is; at any rate there is but little danger of there
being any trouble, as both the officials and the
employees are disposed to settle the matter
without delaying business. which is now so heavy
with all roads.

ST. Louis, Oct 2s.-Special dispatches to the
Republican from different parts of the western
Missouri district state that the suspension of
taking too active part in the fall campaign. has
caused profound regret among the Democrats

patch, who is familiar with the working of the
courts in Colonel Bentons district unite in say
ing that he has not only not neglected the duties
OF his office, but has transacted more business
than his predecessor. The feeling is expressed
by many that the President has wronged the
District Attorney, and the most prominent Dem
ocrats consider it their duty, in justice to Col.
Benton, to make him their next candidate for
Governor of this State"
Another dispatch says: According to the
chairman of the Democratic State central COM
mittee, the rank and file of Missouri Democrats
take no stock in civil-service reform, and the
punishment inflicted upon Colonel Benton will
doubtless Lead to his nomination for Governor

Profitable Results from consolidation.


All over the country there is a growing belief
that through the consolidation of railroad inter
esrs wherever practicable the best results are
reached Even in old staid New England there
Is general movement to consolidate the small,
non-paying roads with the better class of roads,
especially where the interests are not COMPETE
tive The idea that consolidation means monop-
dip in the ordinary significance which attaches
10 the term, is mistaken one. Consolidation
orlngs into harmonious relations conflicting in
terests which can be managed more advanta-
geousiy and to greater profit as whole than in
oetached parts, but it does not necessarily pre-
clude competition. 1t may also be said that in
the benefit of those advantages and Of the
greater economies which are possible the public
shares equitaoly The financial editor of the
boston Advertiser, who seems to voice the views
OF Boston capitalists, says: The first notable
consolidation In New England was that of the
Boston % Worcester with the Western railroad
and the advantages of that union to the people
and to the companies themselves were at once
apparent Since that time there nave been
numerous others. The Old Colony road, which
practcally monopolizes the southern and east
ern part of the State invades Rhode
Island and sweeps north to Low
ell and Fitchburg, became the successful
enterprise 1t is through consolidation We doubt
II the communities 1t serves would willingly 60

DO satisfied with the facilities which the old
companies could afford to give. The union of
the Boston q Maine and the Eastern by the
lease of the latter is another case of practical
consultation OF interests. which has not only
proved or great advantage to the companies
themselves but has really given their patrons
more efficient and cheaper service. The Boston
d Lowell has also entered upon policy of prac-
teal consolidation through the lease of the va.
rious northern roads. There is still much to be
done before all the railroads can be brought
into proper relations to each other There are
still many roads which, however near or remote
may be their prospect of successful future,
could serve the public and their stockholders
much better by a union of interests, or con-
