Ex-Secretary Fairchd is experiencing con-
siderable mental agitation in the effort to de-
termine whether he ought to serve on the COM
mission to investigate the New-Ioik Custom
House. The reasons for the state Of mind in
which he finds himself are obvious. One Of
them is that he was prominent candidate fof
the Coectorship. At present the investigation
is languishng. Mr.. Fairchild is on the fence,
and Mr. Magone has gone to Washington to
prospect. Meantime Mr. Pondexter Dunn is
herocally doing nothing, and drawing $40
day from the Government for it.

Highly interesting news comes from Japan
regarding the possibility of curing consumption
in advanced stages of the disease Some note
worthy experiments have been made by a
former pupil of DR.. Koch, whose method of
operation is a modification of that employed by
the famous German scientist. The results al
ready attained are remarkable, but of course,
considerable time VII be required to demon
strate the success of the application Of the new
remedy. The japanese Government is taking
a warm interest in Dr. kitasato's experiments,
and providing the money to enable him to carry
them on Fuller intelligence regarding them
will be awaited with profound interest by
sufferers from tuberculosis and by the scientific
world in general.

Governor Flower is an expert on the cheese
question His agricultural proclivities are we'll
known, as he has taken occasion to expound
them at various county fairs and the like. If
there was one point more strongly put Than
others in his notable addresses to the farmers
of the State. it was his inevitable reference to
cheese and the duty of cheesemakerS to produce
a better article. Hence the surprise caused by
his veto of a bill passed by the Legislature to
promote the consumption of cheese will he

to term it a ridiculous measure" The Gov

Yesterdays session Of the Rapid Transit Com
mission was rendered notable by the rejection
of the Manhattan Company's offer of compensa-
ton. which has been fully described in our col
umps. Commissioners Starn and Bushe in
sisted that per cent of the net receipts, estI-
mated in the usual way, would be little enough
for the city to receive and as unanimous action
is required on the part of the Commission, Mr.
Inman's resolution to accept the company's pro-
posal was defeated. Whether this unexpected
step brings the company to terms or not the
public will welcome the proof that the Com
mission is not controlled by the Manhattan
people. If the company declines to yield the
Commission should lose no time in laying out
independent elevated lines

Legislature is gradually coming to public notice
For instance, it was learned yesterday that in
some way bill got through which authorizes
the New-York Power Company to tear up the
streets and lay its pipes all over the city, and
the Governor has approved the measure The
bill seems to have undergone in its passage a
transformation not unlike that which took place
in the case of the notorious Buffalo sneak
bills Introduced as an innocent measure, it
turned out to be something very different when
it reached the Governor. The responsibility for
this law seems to be divided. 1t was introduced

The symbolism is carried still further
by utilizing the American eagle as a

its more purely decorative effect on
the tloriated and ornamental scroll

field is strewn with garands of ripe
flowers skillfully entwined with scroll
work, the motive being repeated in

1t Is a curious fact that night is the
time which Nature utilizes for
growth. Plants grow much more in
the night than in the daytime, as
can be proved any time by measure.
ment Measure vine at night, then
measure it again in the morning, and
the next night, and it will be found
that the night-growth is two or three
times that accomplished during the
day During the day the plant is
very busy gathering nourishment
from various sources, and during the
night this raw material is assimilated
into the plant life.
The same fact Is true of the ami
NAL creation. Children grow more
rapidly during the night In the
DAYTIME while the child is awake
and active, disposing Of the wastes
consequent on this activity; but dur
ing sleep the system is free to extend
its operations beyond the mere re-
placing of WORKOUT PARTICLES; hence
the rapid growth.
This is why so many inyalids need
50 much rest and sleep The system
has been taxed for years beyond its
ability to repair the tissues, and
hence the organism has become worn
and disabled from the accumulation
OF waste products, and disease has
resulted. With the proper conditions
restored, and a sense of perfect rest,
Nature will reassert herself, clearing
up the clogged and dirty tissues and
restoring the organs to their normal
c0nd tiOn.

tended. In this great work every
citizen of Chicago should take the
warmest interest.
The Cicero works can be- seen al
any time by any person who wishes
to study the construction and opera
tlon OF what is really one of the
greatest inventions of this or any
other century. The works are oper-
ated by the National Gas and Water
Construction Company (officf at 2lS
La Sale street, Chicago, composed
OF individuals who have made a ma
tional reputation in the building of
hard coal water-gas works since water
gas was first successfully introduced
in 1876.
1t is estimated, at the lowest calcu-
lation, that at least one thousand
times as much gas will be consumed
at 40 cents as is now sent out at
Sl.25, for gas is fast becoming one of
the most desirable and beneficial
agencies and improvements in every
house and factory. Special stores are
crowded with hundreds of fixtures
and appliances for burning gas for
numerous purposes. In fact methods
Of using gas are far ahead of cheap
gas. Open wide then the city gates
for the entrance Of this great inn
provement 1t comes at a most op-
perfume time, when labor, capital
and every kind of material used in
the construction of gas works are
plenty and cheap.
Chicago now has the opportunity
to shake off its funeral pail of smoke
and open the new century with clear
air, pure water, and perfect drainage:
verify, there are giants in these DAYS,
Chicago life breeds them, and they
use their money, strength, and tai
ents not ito wade through slaughter,

humanity and the spreading of the
gospel of peace on earth and good
