lake and use it for buildings. The Tribune
justly points out that if all the conflicting
interests involved in the disputed ownership
of the Lake Front could be harmonized at
once there is not time to do the work. At
present, when the buildings should be under
way. this determination to use time in filling
up the ground for the enrichment of the city
is not an encouraging sign for the adequate
and complete arrangements.
1t is now year since it was practically
decided that the Columbian Fair should be
located at Chicago When we compare the
progress that should have been made with
what has actually been done, it is enough to
create decided apprehensions for the
enterprise. Even now the site question
has not yet been properly settled;
there is a remarkable absence of any ade-
quate plans of the buildings; and for actual
work in the line of putting up the structures
and preparing the ground the first spadeful
of sarth is to be turned. according to an
nonncement, on next Tuesday. The great
reason for this delay is the disposition in
Chicago to shape the work, not for the sue
cess of the Exposition, but for the enrich
ment of Chicago and her permanent adorn-
ment. Unless this tendency is sharply cor
rected, the pledges on which that city OBJ
tanned the fair will be wholly untitled.
The press of the country has the right to
speak plainly on this subject. While Chi
cago will profit mostly by the fair in pc
cuniary sense, it is an enterprise in which
the credit and good name of the entire ma
tion is involved. If the Chicago people are
ready to 60 to work earnestly and with the
sole purpose OF making the fair great sue
cess. the rest of the nation will yield the en-
terprise hearty and liberal support. But
if the work is to be done properly, Chicago
must make radical departure from the
course which has prevailed during the past
year.

NOT BAD RESULTS.

The comments of THE DISPATCH the
other day on the value of expert testimony
against tine Koch lymph, is replied to by the
Buffalo Express. which is one of the most
active anti-Koch newspapers of the country,
with the assertion: "That argument applies
as we'll to the expert testimony in favor OF
Koch as to that against him.
o! course it does. 1t is for this reason that
The DISPATCH has always insisted that the
full and decisive test OF experience must be
awaited before concluding either that the
new discovery is specific for tuberculous dis
eases, or tnat it is moi. We do not regard
that the experiments have as yet gone far
enough to fully establish the character of
the lymph as q curative agent. But when 1t
is asserted that the results of experience bear
out the dicta of experts against the lymph. it
is necessary TO say that there is less founda-
ton for that view than for the view that'it
has valuable properties.
The Express supports the condemnatory
view, with the remark, "A remedy which
of two hundred and eighty cases has very
little to recommend it." As there have
been over thousand inoculations of the
lymph at Berlin. we suppose that these sta
tistics reproduced from DR.. V1rchow refer
to the serious cases Immediately under DIR.
Koch's treatment But with that view the
results are far from unsatisfactory. -Four
cures of diseases which would otherwise be
fatal may be very good showing when we
reflect on the very large number in which it
is necessary to await results before it can be
said wheth.., they are cured or not, and the
still larger number who show great i'm
provement but are not yet cured. But it is
in the other branch of the statistics that the
most significant assertion is found. The in
oculations have been going on for three or
four months, and in that time out of 2S1
cases, presumably serious, four deaths are
reported. This is equivalent to an annual
death rate of 42 to the thousand, or is only
a little above the mortality of many of our
cities. If the lymph can reduce the NOR
tality in crowd OF men suffering from
fatal diseases to that of a community in.or-
dinary health 1t certainly has a great deal
to recommend it.
1t will be we'll to await the full tests of
experience before trying to make any def
mite estimate of the value of the new dis
covery. But some of the assaults on it are
OF character TO raise our expectations of
important and demonstrated curative pow
ers.

PROTECTION FROM MoNoPoL1Es.

Both the revised Billingsley bill and the
bill to reduce the exorbitant telephone
charges which prevail through the State
will be attacked on the sole ground that it is
a wrong principle for the Legislature to set
an arbitrary price upon service or COM
modities. This is the stock argument 1t
always comes up from monopolies which,
themselves, have long been arbitrary to the
EXTREMIST degree in imposing upon the peo-
pie the utmost charges ''the traffic will
bear" There is nothing in it-at least, ab-
solutely nothing In cases such as are now
before the Legislature.
These are not instances in which the
ordinary laws of demand and supply have
any application. By artificial means a
free market is prevented in each in
stance. The oil producers have but
one buyer and carrier for their oil;
and those who want to use the telephone
must take it at the terms which single
company dictates, or go without. The most
that is asked from the Legislature is to act
as fair arbitrator to fix a price which,
while giving reasonable profit to the monopo-
lies, will check clear and undisguised ex-
tortion. If the public sYmpathize with
these bills, it is through no desire for in
justice or hardship to the companies. The
oil producers, at least the great bulk of SEN
sible men engaged in the business, do not
want their oil carried or stored for nothing.
They would, no doubt, be very willing to
agree to charges which, upon examination
of the actual facts of the case, might be shown
to yield fair and even rich returns to the pine
lines upon all the actual capital invested.
What they justly protest against and de-
mand relief from is charges so grossly ex-
orbitant that while creating immense, almost
fabulous. fortunes for their recipients, leave
the producers, who have all their means and
labor at stake, in a most reduced and i'm
poverished condition. So, too, no one wants
to rob the telephone company of liberal
dividends, but ali may well insist that there
must be some just and reasonable relation
between the cost of the service and the
charges for it. Such does not now exist.
In the exercise of arbitrary powers attach
ing to their monopolistic privileges, the cor
porations now concerned have lost sight of
this principle, and it is very we'll and alto
gether timely that legislative action should
bring them back to sharp realization of it.
The principle of the bills is unimpeachable.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-01-24
FOOLING WITH THE FAIR.

The report of the Gambler Committee on
the Chicago Exposition is denounced by
some warm advocates of that enterprise as
an attempt to iniure it. As the report deals
with the extravaganza in salaries, which is
wasting the Government appropriation, and
to that extent Injuring the real enterprise,
impartial people will see the matter in quite
another light. The real injury is done by
those who direct the Government funds
from the purposes of the Exposition; and the
attempt OF the Congressional Committee to
check such extravsgance is defense of the
legitimate enterprise from the errors-to use
no severer term-of those in charge of it.
The worst danger to the Exposition comes
from those who should be guarding its in
