Real Causes Of TumOr..

II is seen that tumors are not as 6
rule, due TO juices humors and many
other strange and mysterious material
substances. which for SO long were be-
lieyed by the profession, as wei. as laity,
as causes, bat are really and in fact due
TO influences or forces which have been
brought 70 bear upon protoplasm, which
force, influence or impression has resulted
in changing or diyerting the normal i'm
pulse into an abnormal, vicious impulse,
which finds expression in the growth Of
protoplasm into tumOrs.
IL is also seen that elements which. IN.

wounds. The element Of the hbroid tu-

II is. therefore, plain that that which
makes a tumor is q force acting Oh proto-

this force is exerted determines the char

THE PROSPECT.

We have quoted yesterday and TIL
morning as many opinions as possible
from the principal Northern papers t
enable our readers to see what The drii
of opinion is upon three main points
the causes OF the defeat of the Democra
CIV, the probable policy of the Republi
cans. and the character of Mr. Benjamin
Harrison.
The general opinion of the President
elect at the North is different from what
we have been taught to think of him here
and tends to show him as an honest man
and patriot.
The causes Of our defeat have
been sufficiently reviewed, and the
only important part Of them ROW is
whether or not there was any sectional
luminosity in the grand rally of the Re
publicans. The times are certainly ahead
of old issues belonging to the war. and
IL sense rules the Republican councils
there will be no return to a policy of
Southern oppression. or retracing the
steps of the past. As reported at pres
ent, the Government in all its branches
belongs to the Republicans, and with the
leaders will rest the power and also the
responsibility.
The times have changed since the
South was made the paradise of the car.
pet-bagger, and We do not believe that
the sentiment of the North would sup
port q party In retrograde policy In
that direction.
The higher order of the Republican
press is evidently ashamed to avow any
such purpose, and it will remain to see
II the politicians feel differently, and
whether, with small majority in both
houses, they would be compact enough
TO carry out sectional policy.
We therefore beg our people to be
calm, wise and patient, and not to fret
themselves with forestalment Of trou-
BILE before II comes. The battle has been
fought on an issue distinctly made by
President Cleveland as question Of
taxes, and if The people do not under
stand 1t now. they certainly will
when the tightening grip of monopoly
Is felt by the masses OF the people and
at The same time the motive of II is seen
in the gigantic fortunes of men like
Carnegie. SO if The Republican party
seeks to hold on to power by honest
policy the South has nothing to fear, and
if il tries the old ways of ten years ago
its rule will be short.

In California there was recently DC
cision rendered by the Supreme Co9r' OF
the State TO the effect that trust conlpi,
nation could not force one OF its mem
bers to limit his sales according to the
contract, the object of which was to stop
competition.
1t appears that all the manufacturers
Of lumber a, certain point contracted
TO sell TO a corporation the product OF
their mills, so far as such product should
be required by the people OF four coun-
ties. 1t was also agreed in the contracts
that none of these manufacturers should
sell lumber to any other buyer in those
counties. the penalty for making such
a sale being a fine to be collected by the
CORPORATION. The court held that with
the results materially flowing from the
laws of demand and supply the courts have
nothing to do, but when agreements are
resorted to for the purpose Of taking
trade out of {he realm Of competition
and thereby enhancing or depressing
prices of commodities, the courts cannot
be successfully invoked, and their execu-
