OiPHTHERiA REMEDIES,
What the Turpentine Treatment Has Ac-
complished in Germany.

We have on several occasions re-
ferred to the use of turpentine in
diphtheria. Recommended originally
in Germany. and claimed to be almost
sIeclfic, it was there. also, that the
employment of the drug was subjected
to the most severe criticism. Some
recent publications have again drawn
attention to the alleged value of the
substance, and most remarkable
among these is an article by Dr.
Reese, which appeared in III Their.
apeutische M0natShef!e. The author
asserts that he has employed turpen-
tine in diphthcria for the past four
years. In that time he lost only
five cases ont of sixty that came under
treatment. Two of the fatal cases
concerned infants one year old, who
appeared moribund when first seen
and d led few hours later. The other
fatal cases were also unusually severe
from the start, two dying in thirty-siX
hours, and one surviving five days.

No Mystery About the Proposed Measure
1t will Eject "a Reduction of
S65,OOOOOO

A Washington despatch says: The re-
publicans have perfected their tariff bill.
Mr.. Mckinley of the Ways and Means
Committee, referring to reports which
seem to speak with authority, to the efect
that the republicans could not agree mp
on any bill, said Those reports are enron
eous. All the republicans of the Ways and
Means Committee, with the exception of
Judge Kelley, have agreed upon bill.
There is no mystery about it and no con
cealment of any kind. Judge Kelley, Of
course, does not wish to have sugar inter =
fered with. We propose to interfere with
it very materially. Our bill proposes the
abolition of all the tax on TOBACCO except
upon cigars and cigarettes, of a considera-
bic portion OF the duty on sugar, OF the IN
ternal tax on alcohol used in the arts, and
the substitution Of the wool schedule
agreed upon by the wool convention for
Inc wool schedule OF the existing tariff,
That, in outline, is the bill upon which we
have agreed, and it will effect IA reduction
in the revenue of about $65,OUO 600.
or course, 1t may he modified
in some particulars, as we may
gain some new Information in the
progress OF the debate. The reason why
be understood by any one who Is familiar
with parliamentary usages. We could
not lntrodue it rs au independent measure
without having it referred to the Commit
tee on Ways and Means, aud we have GER
taiuy no desire to refer the bill to that
committee. The only other course to pur-
sue Is to move the bill us substitute Tor
the Mills BILL when the later shall have
reached the proper parliamentary stage
when such motto can he made That
stage will not have been reached until
after the democrats shall have perfected
their bill in the committee OF the whole
and il shall have been reported to tn
House for passage. Then 1t will be orr
right to move our bill AZ substitute for
TIE Mills bill, aud that is exactly what We
expect To do ana we do not doubt that II
will receive the support of practically all
of the republicans aud very possibly some
democrats

Wash. cor. Atlanta Constitutional
Minister Phelps is here by Mr.. Bay
ard IS order and rs his guest, to labor with
senators for the ratification of the extra
dition treaty. 1t was thought at the State
department that he could personally eX
plain to senators on the floor some of the
reasons known to him as the negotiHtor or
the treaty, why it should be ratified, which
could not so well be put in an official doc
ument. This explains why Mr., Phelps
has been so much in the Senate chamber
and so often on the republican side of it.
Mr.. Phelps doubtless is giving some at
tention to public and diplomatic matters,
while in this cOuntry-he could not well
avoid it. But six months ago he inform
ed some of his friends in this country,
that he should come home in the spring,
on his own private business; and his
visit To this country is simply the car
rying ont of the plan then formed.
