urge shat The State is poor and that
the States share Of the gambling

It's revenues, and this, we notice,
seems to have some effect upon
voters. But If the Lonisianians feel
thua, why do they hand over this

COMPANY? Why not take the whole
proceeds instead Of a small part? If
tue argument IS good that the STATE
needs revenue so badly that it should
favor q lottery to provide it, and
that thls is Z proper way to raise
pU6lic revenue, on that ground the
people Of Louisiana ought to vote

WHAT'S THE REMEDY?

SPRINGFIELD, H., Nov. 20-The dis
patches from Berlin have been notably
barren of surmises as to the exact thing
which constitutes Professor kOchs con-
sumption cure. The newspaper press oil
this country has also seemed greatly at
sea on the same point, and, more curious
still, American physicians who sat IN the
great international Medical congress at
Berlin, but recently, and listened to Fro
fessor Koch's paper on his preliminary IN
vestigations in the subject, do not seem 10
have recalled the hint he apparently drop
ped therein There are at least lew
complete copies of that paper IN TINS
country in the French language, and one
of them is in the possession OF physician
of this city. In it DR. Koch says III a very
casual manner, apparently, that while he
was cultivatingthe true baccilli of tuber-
culosis ana watching their development,
it happened that a few fowls were brought
to him, and that some of them were snort
ly afterward found to be sick with chicken
consumption From the lungs of these he
obtained the germ of the disease with
which they were afflicted, and was
astonished to find that it was bacillus
differing somewhat from that OF true
tuberculosis which he was cultlvat-
ing, but in the main like 1t.
This is, in substance, what he
says, but he goes very little farther into
the matter Whoever Will take that pass
age. however. and read it in connection
with his article from the German meGfcal
journal, telegraphed from Berlin last Sat
urday night, will hardly be able TO
avoid the conclusion that just in that
point lies the suggestion of what Koch :
remedy is. The query, therefore, IS
whether Prof Koch has not found the
same kind of relation between tuberculo-
sis in the fowls or lower animals, and the
prevention, modification or cure O. tuber-
culosis in man, which Jenner found be-
tween kine-pox and the true smallpox.
