Total Solar FcIinse.

The next eclipse of the sun will take
place in April and will be visible in Chill,
Argentine, Paraguay, Brazil, Senegal,
Saraha and a considerable part OF the
equatorial Atlantic. The weather condi-
tons in large portion of this area are
likely to be favorable to solar observa-
tons.
This occasion though nothing new OF
likely to be attended by any specially
novel features, is of sufficient astronomi-
cal importance TO attract worldwide at
tention. Some nations are sufficiently
interested to send vessels and experts with
instruments to take scientific observations
of the eclipse but nothing seems to have
been done by the government Of the
United States TO thus advance the cause Of
universal knowledge.
This is to be total eclipse viewed from
the portions of the globe we have named
and therefore is worthy of particular at
tention. With the mechanical improve
ments Of latter times and the progress
made in astronomical science each occur
ence of such phenomena becomes of added
interest and Importance. and the leading
nations OF the world ought to take part in
the investigations which such occurrences
suggest.
Congress will be too busy during the
last days OF the session to pay much at
tention to solar matters. The eclipse of
the party going out OF Office will be Of
more moment to many of our legislators.
But if there are funds at the command OF
the government for scientific purposes
which can be Iegitimately expended for
this purpose the United States ought to dc
something towards competent observa-
ton of the total solar eclipse OF 1898.

THERE IS said to be a good deal of Cos
sip in the army concerning the recent
official order retiring Gen. EUGENE A.
CARR, or rather the circumstances pro-
ducing it. The order itself is exceedingly
complimentary, but Gen. c. is placed on
the retired list before reaching the age Of
GA years, against his desire and in the face
OF his protest. It is whispered, indeed,
that when CARR was promoted to brig
adiership there was some verbal under
standing that he was to retire in time fol-
the President to make at least one other
appointment to the same position. CARR
declares he knew of no such dicker.

A Sensible Veto.

Governor OSBORNE of Wyoming has,
since the adjournment Of the legislature,
vetoed the appropriation for the Live Stock
Commission of that state. The bill went
to him at the close OF the session and he
had not time to examine it and interpose
his objections before the assembly dis
persed.
In disappearing of this appropriation
he has acted in accordance with the views
Of the Democratic party of Wyoming in
reference to the Commission. That body,
under the existing law, is clothed with
extraordinary powers, and is able to con-
fscate private property without due pro-
cess of law. The ostensible object Gifts crea-
ton was to prevent cattle stealing and the
branding of young stock by persons not
their owners. But it. was claimed that
the remedy was worse than the disease,
and one OF the prominent features of the
political campaign last year was denun-
citation OF the Live Stock Commission by
the Democrats and Populists.
Complaints were made to the Legisla-
ture of the high handed and autocratic
course of the Commission and various un-
lawful and corrupt acts were alleged
against that body. The committee to
whom the matter was referred, examined
into the charges and found they were not
sustained by the evidence. The appro-
priation was therefore supported by few
OF the Democrats and voted for solidIy by
the Republicans.
But there is another item connected
with this. bill for new Commission.
superseding the old one and without the
objectionable provisions of the old law.
was in process of passage. 1t was con-
fidently expected that it would become
law. The s12, 600 appropriation was in
tended by the Democrats to be applied for
the use of the new Commission. But in
the excitement that prevailed over the adj
journment Of the JOINT session, the House
was also suddenly adjourned and the new
Stock Commission bill. with several other
important measures, failed Of becoming
law. That is how the old Live Stock Com
mission has been kept alive.
The governor, however, has taken away
its visible means OF support and there
fore it is not likely that the obnoxious
body will do much for the next two years.
We believe the action Of the executive will
receive the endorsement OF the majority Of
the taxpayers, and it is quite probable

The Utah Commission Again.

The Utah Commissioners have suc-
ceeded, by hard personal work, in induc-
ing the Senate committee on appropria-
tions to insert in their bill the sum of
$1,000 to pay their salaries for year at
So, 900 each, and also the sum OF 81, 900 for
expenses, out of which they will have to
pay the secretary, rent of offices, clerk
hire, etc.
There are three provisions accompany
ing the appropriation that are worth
noticing. One requires the Commission
to have the names of all persons in the
Territory who have died or removed from
the district, or cannot be found as
permanent residents, erased from the
registration lists. Another authorizes
the Commission to reapportion the Terri
tory in such a manner as to provide as
nearly as may be for an equal representa-
ton. The third provides that hereafter
appointments to the Commission shall be
from residents Of the Territory.
The first has all along been required by
the laws of Utah. Perhaps the Commits
sion will see that it is enforced now that
the provision is attached to their emolu-
ments. We shall see. There are hun
dreds, perhaps thousands OF names on the
lists that ought to be expunged. They
stand there as opportunities for illegal
voting, and have been used by the party
in control of the lists and the election ma
chinery for their benefit, in this city and
Ogden certainly, in other places probably.
The second provision is not good one,
for the reason that the commission has
shown itself to be partial and partisan in
the reapportionment of the territory for
election districts in the past, and if the
present body remains it is likely to do SO
again. The gerrymandering and shoe
stringing of their last apportionment are
notorious. Perhaps, however, the work
will fall to the lot of new appointees, who
may be better qualified and better dispo-
sitioned, and the result may therefore be
satisfactory.
The third requirement is eminently
just and proper and in accord with
the announced policy of the party
that is coming into power. 1t is
to be hoped that changes in the
personel OF the Commission will be made
without unnecessary delay after the in
auguration OF the President, SO that the
party of the majority may be properly
represented in that body and that the re-
appointments may be properly made.
Residents of the Territory will have both
the knowledge and the disposition to at
tend TO that work, and also to purge the
registration lists so that fair election
may be had for once in Utah under the
auspices of the Utah Commission.
1t has not yet appeared whether the
changes made by the Senate committee
have been agreed to by the House COM
mittee. There was strong disposition
on the part of the latter to do away with
the expensive and almost useless body
altogether 1t may be that both Houses
will agree to this appropriation as the
last likely to be needed for the purpose,
anda as necessary to the preliminary steps
for the elections that will have to be held
before the admission of Utah as State.

THE RECENT change in the Western
Union Telegraph company, by which
Gen. T. T. EcKERT succeeds DR.. NoRvIN
GREEN, will naturally before long be fol-
lowed by the appointment of Col. R. G.
CLowRY as president. Gen. E. is IS
years old. CLowRy has been connected
with the company almost from boyhood,
having been with it at St. Louis until a
few years ago, when he became western
superintendent, with headquarters at
Chicago. He knows the business
thoroughly, and counts his friends by
bripades.

looks quite significant in the light of the
report we have very briefly condensed.
And it also shows that there are other
considerations than the request of the
people of those islands to come into the
Union, which have had weight with the
government of the United States in the
recent negotiations.
That the islands would be valuable to
the United States as naval and coaling
station to say nothing of the sugar sup
ply, there can be no doubt. And from
the latest dispatches it looks as though
the British Lion would like to lay its paw
upon them Notwithstanding the pre-
tended English indifference as to the
matter.
The treaty with the provisional gov
eminent of Hawaii now proposed by the
government of the United States, secures
to the latter entire control of the ports,
haroors, Notifications and public build
ings, naval and military equipments, etc.
1t continues the existing laws until Con-
gress shall otherwise provide; prohibits
the further influx of Chinese into the
islands; assumes the public debt of the
Hawaiian government and bestows a
pension of $40, 900 per annum upon the
deposed Queen and a gift of $150, 200 upon
the Princess who is heir to the throne
on their submission in good faith to the
local government.
Some opposition is being developed in
Congress against the annexation, but it
looks as though it was directed more
against immediate action rather than
against the project itself. No doubt
members of the party which is about to
come into control of national affairs,
would prefer to have this important mat
ter settled under the new administration.
This is quite consistent, and from what
we have shown in the foregoing it is evil
dent that President CLEVELAND is we'll
informed as to the situation and would
be able, if the matter is left to his man
agement, to dispose of it in a manner
that will be not only for the benefit of
the islanders but for the welfare and
prosperity of the United States.

Petroleum for Dipht heria.

In the Normandie Medicale of Rouen there
is an interesting account Of a new. and SO far
wonderfully successful. treatment Of diphtheria.
1t appears that in the village of Neuville-
Champ d Oisel about nine miles from Rouen,
a malignant type Of the disease broke out last
year. The country doctor, NJ. Frederic Fla
haut, treated the cases in the usual way, but the
deaths we're numerous. Remembering. as he
says, that the English use petroleum rs an anti
spasnodic and an aniiseptic. he determined to
try it as an experiment His first trial was in
the case of little girl seven years old. He had
already given her up and proposed to the parents
to make the experiment., which consisted in
awabbing the throat with common petroleum.
He had little hope of the success of his new
method. but to his astonishment he noticed an
Improvement after the very first application
He continued the treatment and the child re-
covered. Then he tried it successfully with his
other patients.
This year he had forty cases Of diphtheria to
treat, and he was successful in every one. In
order to be perfectly sure that the cases in
question were genuine ones of malignant
diph.heria, he had the expectorated matter
submitted to the ANALYSIS of Prof Francois
Hue Of the Rouen College Of Medicine. and
The professor reported that he had clearly dis
covered the presence in it of numerous bacill
of diphtheria. Moreover, his diagnosis was
confirmed by DrJ. Deshayes. Lohclait and Bal
lay of Rouen. the last named being the physi-
clan in chief of the hospital of that city.
The treatment presents little difficulty or dan.
ger The swabbing is done every hour or every
two hours, according to the thickness Of the
membranes, which become. as it were, diluted
under the action OF the petroleum. Tho brush
after being dipped in the petroleum should be
shaken to prevent any drops falling into the
respiratory channels The patience experience
relief from the very first application. The dis
agreeable taste of the petroleum remains for a
few moments only.
Dr. Flahaut has been interviewed by severn
reporters Of Paris papers. lie is modest man
and appears to be astonished at the noise thai
he is making in the French medical world. He
ought TO become famous aud rich, for he hal
certainly struck oil.
