1he CONSUMPTION Cure.


Interest In the experiments with DR.. Koch's
consumption cure as not aea,ed i'll the
least. Indeed. it is increasing, mainly FOR
the reason that the discussion going on
among physicians relative to it's merits is
attracting the attention of all classes Of
people in this country and Europe.
New York physicians wh) have just re-
turned from Berlin are not AS confident
that a cure for consumption has teen found
as DR.. Koch's admirers in Germany are.
They do not condemn the cure, however,
which has been named "Kochine" They
are in lined to wait for results Of other OK.
periments before pronouncing fer or
against it.
There are 4 900 patients now under the
kocn treatment in the hospitals OF Berlin,
and the German government is erecting an
immense building, which will be devoted
wholly to Dr. Koch's USE 1t ca mot be said
that there has been a 81 gle patient perma-
nently cured yet. A good ma y suffering
from lupus have been discharged from the
hospitals as cured, but 1t is by no means
certain that they win not soon show signs
of tie disease again. S me OF those who
were discharged al cured have returned to
the hospitals, having had a relapse
According to the reports no one suffering
from tuberculosis Of the lungs has been dis
arged as cured, though a great many
suffering from that form of consumption
have been apparent y greatly benefited.
Pasteur, the celebrated French savant,
says that it is too soon to accept or condemn
'Kochine." That the remedy produces
somo wonderful effects in the human system
therei is no doubt, but there are approximations
that 1t has damaging effect upon the Kid
! nsys, and that Cor that reason it may not
be safe to use it. However, the new remedy
is meeting with just the sort Of reception
that it was expec ed it would. IL will b.

WINDOW is trying to stave off the
popular demand to remonetize silver by
a measure which will please nobody. II
merely reduces the metal to an article oi
merchandise, the same as copper OF
any other metal, and makes the Govern.
ment an exchange warehouse for the
purpose of buying silver bullion at its
market value, and issuing either certi6.
Gates or silver notes to the extent of the
market value for the amount deposited.
A sort of warehouse receipt makeshift,
to operate as warehouse receipts for
grain or any other product or commodity
is this Window proposition. But
the most Objectionable feature Of
the bill is that section which repeals the
Bland law, which compels the Govern.
ment to buy at least 81, ZOO, 900 worth Of
silver for coinage every month. We
cannot let that go. This is trifling with
q great question. As a silver producing
country, we cannot afford any half way
measure. We must insist on placing
the two precious metals on the same
plane, as far as regards the Government,
and returning to the double standard.
The Wall street gold bugs have had their
own way long enough. Now let the
mass of the people have say upon
the subject OF free coinage.

IT IS really becoming alarming the
way in which people are struck dead in
the streets from contact with discon-
nected electric wires. Not only the
wires themselves, surcharged with the
deadly fluid, are dangerous to life by
contact, but we see that any animal that
has been struck down by running against
q wire, If touched by a person produces
the most disastrous consequences. Take
the case of Thomas Dawson yesterday in
Newburg, New York. He ran to help
the horse, which had fallen into a gut
ter after the wire had touched it, and enc
sooner" as the dispatch says, "did
he place his hands on the animal than
he himself keeled over, dead" Such
things become really alarmingly grave.
They seem to have occurred with great
frequency recently, and the question il
being forced upon all cities, for reasons
of the very first moment, what shall be
done with the exposed wires to insure
tbs safety of life? They are laying them
underground now in New York City.
The electric companies fought the change
with great pertinacity, but at last had to
succumb. This will be insisted upon by
all cities. Life cannot be exposed to
jeopardy in this manner, especially as
there is way of preventing it without
destroying the efficiency of the electric
service.

PERHAPS one of the most amusing d

PERHAPS one of the most amusing de.
velopments of our later day Republican
politics is the announcement that there
is hostility between Senator Stanford
and Mr.. M. H. de Young, of the Chron
icte. Well, "rather 3d." to employ the
language of Bailey, Jr., in one of Dick.
ens's most charming novels. But the
only surprise is that this should be re-
garded as something new. As the
Chronicle has for years been open and
incorporating in it's hostility to the
railway, and as the railway people are
credited with long memories, at least as
to injuries, there is nothing at all sim
gular in this little development. What
it's ultimate effect may be we avow our
inability to tell, although we feel conf
dent that the skies will not fall, nor will
larks be caught, in consequence. As to
the Senatorial speculations in connection
with the matter they may be dismissed at
once. The next legislature win be Demo.

PurpOsely Vague.

OTTAWA, January 20.-In the House of
Commons Laurier today asked whether
the Government intended to lay the
papers in the Behring sea trouble before
the House. In reply Sir John McDon-
aid said they had no intention of doing
so at present. With reference to Lau-
rier's statement that the language in the
speech from the throne concerning this
matter was vague, Sir John said it was
pufposely vague, as it was against public
interests to bring down the papers Just
now. They might, however, be given to
the House before the session ended. In.
reply to Cartwright, Foster, Minister of
Finance, said he hoped to bring down the
estimates on Thursday next.
Dalton Mccarthy will introduce
Wednesday bill 10 amend the north
west act measure, which will provide for
the abolition of French as the official Lam
guage in the Canadian Northwest. 1t will
be only opposed by French memb bers.

men think the blockade on the Central
Pacific will be raised tomorrow night.
The summit snow-plow, with six en-
gines, has been stalled five days at Cold
Stream. The Truckee snow -plow, with
twelve engines, has been trying every
day to clear the track and relieve the
imprisoned plow, but although the dis
tance was only four miles, all
efforts were unavailing until
this evening, when the plows
and engines were released. One snow.
drift was encountered, twenty feet
deep. The plow and three engines went
into it and had to be shoveled out. To-
morrow morning the summit plow and
eight engines start west, and the Truckee
plow, with eight engines, starts east.
Heavy slides and drifts are reported be-
tween here and Boca. The rotary plow
is cleaning the road to Blue Cafion, and
during the night is expected to clear the
track to the two imprisoned passenger
trains between Blue Canon and Alta.
The average depth of the snow along
the sheds is twenty feet. Over one
thousand snow shovelers are on the
mountain tonight. Eight hundred
workmen are on the ice ponds, trying to
save the ice crop. A passenger named
E. A Sanford, who died of pneumonia,
was buried today by men on snow shoes,
it being impossible to break road to the
cemetery. Truckee is cut off from all
communication with the outside world
and if the blockade is prolonged, great
suffering is feared on account of food
Over two hundred cases of la grippe are
reported here today.

this city, today, it was stated that W tho 20
only object of the invitation, which had
called forth some severe comments from
clergymen outside the city who had bean
asked to attend the meeting, was TO bavs
as many present as possible to suggest
names for an assistant to Bishop Kin.
and 1t was in no wise intended to act az
a caucus and forestall the action of the m
convention to be hereafter held. All
those present at today's meeting were of
the opinion that the Assistant Bishon
should be chosen from outside the dio.
cete, and among those suggested
for the Office we're Rev. P6;llins
Brooks, OF Boston; Rev. w. F. Nichols
Of Philadelphia Rev. John w. Brown
OF New York, and Bishop Talbot. Of

said: "It must be borne in mind that
the choice of the convention must he
confirmed by every Bishop and the
standing committee of every diocese in
the United States, and we dare not be
too rash in action. The election also
assumes great Importance from the fact
that the Assistant Bishopin this country
has the right of succession to the Bish-

LA GRIPPE is downright, outright
existing nuisance in this city today.
Scores of our people are prostrated with
it, although it has assumed nothing like
the virulence which has characterized
its ravages in the rigorous climate of the
East. The number of distinguished per.
sons who have been carried off by the
pest in the cities beyond the Rockies is
positively appalling. Thus far no death
has been reported from it in Los An
geles, and its secondary stage of pneu.
monia is infrequent here. In San Fran.
cisco it is quite prevalent. and the death
rate there last week had attained un.
usual proportions. No alarm is felt in
medical circles as to its doing any seri
GUS damage in Los Angeles, as it is quite
easily controlled in this climate.
