THE KOCH LYMPH.

Successful Experiments With the
Consumption Cure in Cologne.
A series of experiments have been con-
Quoted at Cologne by DR.. Prior with the
Koch curative lymph. Forty-6ve physicians
attended the experiments. In all the cases
the symptoms following the infections OF the
lymph were precisely similar to those de-
scribed by Professor Koch. Among the pa
tients was a woman who was suspected of be-
ing affected with a tubercular disease. The
usual methods Of diagnosis had, however.
failed to define positively the disease from
which she was suffering. She was treated
with an injection of the lymph. which caused
a violent reaction, thus proving beyond
doubt the existence of tuberculosis.

money in actual circulation on certain
dates from 1878 to1ss0. This shows that
on March OF the former year, before re-
sumption and at the date OF tho passage
OF the silver act, the aggregate currency
in circulation was I'm round numbers
eight hundred and five million dollars,
being sixteen dollars and fifty cents per
capita. On October /, 1889, the total
circulation was one billion four hundred
and five million dollars, an increase
OF six hundred million dollars in the
eleven years, an average annual in
crease of over lifty-four million a year.
In some of these years the increase was
considerably less than this amount, and
in one year, 1886, the circulation de-
clined, but with this single exception
every year shows an increase ranging
from one hundred and sixty million
dollars between October, 1879,
and October, 1880, .down to twenty
one million between the same
months of 1883 and .lss9. Thus, while
our population has increased in twelve
years thirty-six per cent, the circulation
has increased eighty per cent. 1t is
doubtless true that ut this time the aver
age increase for the period noted is not
being maintained, but it is impossible to
refute the fact that since resumption
there has been steady increase of the
circulation, which has considerably more
than kept pace with the growth of pop
ulation.
Assertions such as that of Senator
Teller do great harm to the cause of
which he is conspicuous advocate.
There are sound and substantial argu-
ments in favor of larger employment
of silver in the currency, but they will
not be strengthened by denial or per-
version of official facts accessible to
every man. Neither is there anything
to be gained by charging dishonesty or
ignorance upon those who do not believe
it to be wise and safe policy
to open the mint5 of the country to the
silver of the world. The utilization of
the silver product of this country as a
basis of currency will provide the in
crease of circulation necessary to keep
pace with the growth of population and
the expansion of business, and every
consideration of financial security re-
quires that we shall not go beyond this,
at any rate for the present.

"oRIGiNAB PACKAGES" IN THE HOUSE.
From what has been learned Of the
feeling in the judiciary committee Of the
house regarding the original package
bill which passed the senate, the chances
are not at all favorable TO that measure
in the lower branch Of congress, which,
IL is to be presumed, will approve what
ever conclusion the committee shall
reach It is stated that the committee
regards the supreme court decision as u
mistake, but it does not consider the
Wilson bill the proper medium, for the
reason that it makes q conces-
sion to the police powers Of the state of
an authority exclusively in congress and
which congress cannot part with or dele
gate 1t is not probable that the com
mittee as a whole regards the judicial
decision as mistake, but that its mem
bers generally should take the other
view of the matter is quite conceivable.
The demand for similar legislation to
that proposed by the Wilson bill against
other articles than liquor, as that
made by the dairymen of New York
for the exclusion of oleomargarine
from that state, the manufacture and
sale of which is prohibited by a law of
the state, suggests to what extent such
legislation might be carried and the
grave difficulties that would inevitably
result from it, AS we have all along in
sisted, the matter is one which congress
would better have nothing to do with,
leaving the questions of rights involved
to be settled wholly by the courts. We
do not believe that thereby the
states will suffer the least i'm
pairment of their power to properly reg
ulate the sale of liquor either by license
or tax There is obvious danger in the
proposed concession or surrender by con-
gress of a power given to it exclusively
by the constitution. Nor should it in
any way exercise this power to discrim-
mate at the demand of one or more
states against the products of other
states that are common articles of COM
merce.

Omaha daily bee., 1890-06-12

The halt called by Comptroller Good
rich has apparently thrown the council
combine into great disorder. Without
patronage the combine cannot exist, and
every effort is now being made by its
leaders to concoct schemes by which
they may overcome the obstruction
which Mr.. Goodrich in the line of official
duty has made apparent.
The bold dash made in the council
meeting by Davis, Chatfee, Wheeler and
Blumer shows the desperation which
now possesses them. A heavy sewer con-
tract was awarded in defiance of the
mayors veto and his protest that there
were no funds in the treasury to pay for
the contract work. The contract was
awarded at the instance of Davis and the
combine each of whom knew that the
mayor had refused to approve it
because the comptroller could not certify
that there are funds available for the
purpose. The contract was Illegally
awarded in defiance of the charter pro-
vision that no contract or vote incurring
an indebtedness for moneys payable out
of any fund shall be made by the mayor
or council, and no final action shall be
taken upon such proposed contract or
Indebtedness without the certificate of
the comptroller that there is money to
pay for such contract work.
1t is manifestly the policy of the com
bine to ride rough shod over every legal
safeguard and plant themselves within
the treasury vaults. If no effort is made
to restrain them in one instance they
will naturally assume that they are
licensed to trample upon charter pro-
visions in order that their personal and
political plans may be pushed to success.
If the taxpayers of Omaha have any idea
of self-protection, the council plunderers
will speedily be brought to their senses
by a decree of the court.
