Consumption.
From tho Hartford Timoc


DR.. Koch, at the international Medi-
cal Congress, illustrated his discoveries
of the bacillus of various diseases, espe-
cially of the bacillus of consumption :;
that is, the small rod-like organization
which always accompanies and proba-
bly, causes the disease. He has discov-
cred now that it is identical with the
bacillus of chicken consumption, even
as that Of smallpox is identical with
cow-pox. And therefrom springs the
hope that by course of incubation
with the material of chicken consump-
ton those that are threatened may be
protected against the human variety of
the disease. Experiments have been
made in Paris in that direction, and rab-
bits have been inoculated and protected
against tuberculous contagion. That is,
after a course of incubation with the
matter Of chicken consumption, it was
found impossible to communicate regu-
lar hu man consumption to them by
incubation with the matter of the latter.
Another point DIR. Koch has discov-
cred is the splendid effect Of sunlight on
this bacillus. 1t destroys the virulence
of the creature, suspends its activity,
and finally renders it inert. 1t follows
from this that consumptives cannot do
better than live in the open air and the
sun, and that the more they are ex-
posed to the solar rays the greater their
chance of escape. Hence climate that
permits open-air life every day is the
one for consumptives. There are also
some remedies that check the progress
of the bacillus, but researches on these
are not vet complete.

MILLS IN THE WEST,
Tho rexas High Priest Of Free TT,

The Texas High Priest Of Free Trade
Talking for .sShiners."
The story is current, and very gener-
ally credited, that the Roger Q. Mills
educational campaign in the West has
been conducted by him on basis OF
$500 and expenses-that is to say, $500
for each and every speech of his IN
favor of free trade.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Mills salary as a
servant of the public and the repre-
sentative of the people of the Ninth
Texas District has run right on. If he
has been paid $500 speech besides he
has used his rhetoric to much better
advantage for his own pocket-book than
if he had remained in Washington do
ing his duty and earning his salary.
But we submit that any local commit
tee or organization which has paid $500
to hear Mr.. Mills prophesy ruin to the
West and disaster to our institutions
generally has been badly stuck, not to
saw swindled.
For that amount committee invest
ing in political pessimism ought to get
good deal of genuine conviction and IN
teresting. if gloomy oratory. The artl-
Gle Mr.. Mills has been furnishing to his
patrons is spurious. He is clearly con-
Vlcted OF dlstngenuOuSnesS by the he
publican and Leader of La Crosse,
which prints side by side his views of
Western prosperity as expressed In an
interview at Milwaukee, and his utter
ance on the same subject as contained
in 5000 speech at La Crosse the next

to thirty. Equal in weight to five or six large
bales. A merchant can pack them away among
his other goods, thereby saving warehouse
charges. WHICH. necessarily follow the large
bales.
You need have no fear that the cotton mills
already declared themselves in favor of them.
The mill will have the cotton. matter how it
reaches them, and the neater and cleaner it IS
packed the more it pays the producer.
If the combined Alliances of these nine cotton
states should say to the American and English
spinners that you must pay twelve cents per
pound for the cotton crop of 1890 and stick to 1t,
the twelve cents would come, and no one mater
tally injured by the necessary advance in cotton
goods, but vast benefit to the producers. I4e
price for your products has been made for you
for many years, and it is only fair play for you
to fix it for your own property in the future
The encouraging of cotton and other manu-
factories should be done, as the building of
them among will give US a home market for
cotton well as other products which the oper-
atives would consume.
Many other advantages of the small bales will
undoubtedly be suggested to others, as 1 have
not enumerated them all by any means.
Let this be discussed, finding the pros and
cons. If this is not the best system, continue
the old way, and support as you have done in
to large share of your hard labor in producing
cotton.
Let every farmer throw his influence with the
Alliances in their determination TO beat the jute
trust aud all other combinations that formed
to beat the farmer out of his hard earned dol
lars.
The combined effort will win, if wisely di-
rected. The cotton farmer has been for years
only an overseer for others, and he should from
this time henceforth become his own owner and
control that which is justly his own.

CHURCH WORK.
A New Plan of the Evangelical Alliance
Church Attendance.

New Plan OF the Evangelical Alliance
Church Attendance.
For the Gazette
The necessity of adopting some new
methods of church work IN order TO reach
with Christian influence the nom church
going multitude is no less urgent IN the
country than in the city. Careful inves-
LEGATIONS made in some forty townships
in New York last summer revealed the
fact that the average church attendance
in those rural districts was only one
eighth of the entire population, and in
one whole county only one-tenth.
The churches are beginning to see that
they have not discharged their duty to
the non ehuroh-going multitude when
they have unlocked the door, rung the
bell and hung welcome, Strangers, -
on the wall of the vestibule; are begin
ming to see that If the "masses' won t
come to the church, the church must go
to the ''masses. =" The Evangelical Al
lance has for two years endeavored to
iuaugurate a practical method which
would enable the churches to do so sue
cessfully. For the benefit of commune
ties which desire simpler method and
one which we believe can be worked
anywhere, we suggest the following mod
ifications Of the original plan.
l. The churches of a community agree
TO divide the territory among themselves,
no church taking more than it can work
thoroughly. 1t is better to work half of
a town properly than to half work the
whole town.
2. Each church holds itself responsible
to carry the gospel, by repeated vista
ton, to every non-chureh-going family
IN its district. Except in large cities it
will be found easier to reach non-church-
gOers by visiting the church goers also.
3. This district does not in any sense
limit the activity of the church accept
ing it, or that OF other churches. The
district must not be considered q parish
