Menthol is a solid crystalline body
which separates from oil of peppermint
on standing. 1t has the odor of pepper
mint; melts at 1889 F., and evaporates
unchanged at a higher temperature. Its
use as local application in neuralgia in
China and Japan goes back into the date
less ages. It is not known when or by
whom, menthol crystals were first
brought to the notice of European drug
gists. but it is said that it was used on
the Continent at the end of the last CEN
fury. About 1864 consignment Of it
was received in London under the name
of Chinese peppermint oil. 1t was also
sold in Paris, in the small red-labelled
Chinese bottles familiar to eastern trav-
oilers as "Po Ho oil"
The commercial history of mentho]
dates from 1878, when an English firm in
Yokohama made small shipment to
London. After some months it was re-
turned, the agents saying that the ''stuff'
could not be sold, as no one knew what
to do with it. The Yokohama firm
however, persisted in shipping it, and il
four years menthol crystals were the
rage Of the season, selling at so shilling'
pound at wholesale, and carried abou
in the now familiar cone shape by mos
| persons who are in possession of tn,
modern civilized nervous system.

vindicating "Czar" Reed
ALBANY Journal. I


When the strong hand of Thomas B.
Reed of Maine welded the Speakers
gavel in the House of Representatives, a
continual chorus of groans at his ''czar-
ISM rose from the Democratic press.
The protests of the minority, which was
intent only on obstructing business, and
failed in every fresh attempt by reason
of the GOODNESS and courage of Mr.. Reed,
were prolonged and bitter. Such out
rageous treatment had never been wit
messed before, they declared. and the ma

labors and dispersed, and the country

was the "Billion-dollar Congress, and

Democratic abuse.

A story was in circulation in New
York Friday that the President was suf-
fering from a malignant growth in his
mouth and had had an operation per-
formed. Inquiry showed that the only
foundation for it was that the President
had suffered from a troublesome tooth
which had been extracted. 1t is for
tunate for the country that the story had
80 slight foundation. The death or in
capacity of Mr.. Cleveland at this time
would be great misfortune. He has
control over his party which no other
man has and his views on the
financial questions are eminently sound.
There is strong reason for hoping that
his influence is strong enough to induce
the Democratic. majority in the House to
follow his opinions and legislate wisely
on the finances. He probably can steer
the Democratic Congress on financial
questions and can be trusted to steer
them well. 1t is power possessed by
no other Democrat.

WE publish elsewhere the call
statehood convention to be held in Phoe-
nix on November 81. 1898. The only
fault we have with the call is the late
ness of the day set. If the bill now be-
fore congress is to be pushed no time
should be lost in sending delegate to
Washington to push it with vigor and
create an opening for it if none be found
to exist. We must not let the present
session lapse without making a supreme
effort to become a state. However, so
far as the statehood convention is con-
cerned il must be given careful after
ton. Pima county is entitled to ten dele
gates. We hope that such only will be
appointed that can and will attend.

The cloud with the silver lining may
be seen in the east as the great state Of
Pennsylvania swings into line for the
free coinage OF silver. Senator Gamer
on's talk for the white metal sugurs
auspiciously for the future. With such
men and states in line against fbe repeal
of the silver clause in the Sherman act
it is impossible without some compen-
sating legislation in behalf of one the
greatest industries il the southwest.
With Pennsylvania in line others are
more free to follow, and the day is not
distant when silver will be re-estsblished
side by side with gold. Mining will be
resumed and prosperity will again smile
over the land. Hasten the day when
more senators will join the great cause
and put the monometallists to fight if
not to shame.

A GREAT PLOT.
A Conspiracy Against v Jenna Nip

VIENNA, Sept. 2S-A number of anar-
chist pamphlets, printed in the Czech
language and entitled, vengeance
cries aloud" were found in the streets
tonight. The imperial eagle on numer-
Gus letter boxes We're defaced and a
cylinder with caps and fuses found in
one of the boxes.
In spite of the Efforts of irresponsible
news agencies to bel tile the exclusive
story and arrest in this city on Sept
ember %, Of number of anarchists in
the house on Seiberbrunner Strasse,
as cabled by the Associated Press, the
fact remains that the police of this city
did upon that occasion discover the
greatest conspiracy since the time of
Guy Fawkes in EUgland
The police found cases of revolvers,
bombs for loading explosives at hand
with which to load bombs and coats
with leather Innings, to which hooks
suspending bombs were attached and
also document of most important
nature
The full particulars of the plot were
not made public at the time the police
made the raid, but the Associated
Press said at that time. it was believed
great and widespread conspiracy
against Vienna was nipped in the bud.
This was admitted by Austrian police
today to be correct in every particular

GOLD AND SILVER.

We exported; says Clspp d Co., in their
weekly report. S21, ,1SS,005 more silver in
1893 than we imported. 1t is more than
the total excess of exports for auy
calendar year since 1874, and more than
double the tvsrage yearly
excess of exports the past fifteen years
or since resumption of specie payments.
Gold exports have exceeded Imports
since January LIST, sl3,347 All, against
sl3, 351, ,346 for the whole calendar year
1892. Gross receipts eff all railways for
1892 did rot exceed fixed charges and
expenses more tn an about Sl50,000, 600,
which II is safe to say was earned op
surplus of cereal products and BY
reason of Induet activities induced

the anarchists intended to smuggle Il
quantity OF dynamite into the under
ground portion of the Reichsrath when
that body met on October 10th, tn blow
Reichsrath up. But the Reichsrath
was not the only building the anarchists
IL tended to blow up on October 10.
They had plans fully prepared to blow
up the town hall. In this building
over a thousand people would have
been destroyed had the police not
unearthed the anarchists plot. Even this
is not the full extent of the terrible
conspiracy discovered. A number of
other important buildings on Ring
Strasse, one of the finest streets in
Europe, was doomed to destruction
with everybody in them on the day
appointed for the anarchist outbreak.
The university, another building, was
also to be undermined with dynamite,
as was the famous historical museum Of
Vienna and other fine buildings of
similar nature. The Hofburg theatre
opposite the Raths house was also
marked out for dynamiting.
Now comes, so far as the United
States is concerned, the stranRest part
of the whole conspiracy. The Asso-
ciated Press has already announced
bombs of Vienna anarchists, manufac-
tured according to formula prepared by
Herr Most of New York. This is not
all; the police of this city insist and
claim to be able to prove that the
anarchists engaged in the terrible con-
spiracy against the city of Vienna
were connected with the anarchists at
Chicago. This is not a theory, they
insist it is fully established beyend
doubt. Correspondence between an
archists here and those in Chicago is
said to be in the hand of the author
tiles, who it would seem must have
communicated with the police of Chi
cago on the subject.
At Barcelona General Campos was
injured by one of the bombs thrown by
Palliars, the anarchist, on Sunday last
In the latter's attempt to kill HIM.
General Campos is IN such serious
condition that his leg must be ampu-
tated. The police continue to make
arrests of parties believed to be con-
nected with the anarchist conspiracy.
From documents discovered and con-
fessions made, the police have become
aware OF an extensive anarchist con-
spiracy In existence, and serious plots
have been spoiled in consequence, in
Ceres, Bilbao and other towns in Spain.
The authorities are amazed at the extent
of anarchists plots, and are taking
the greatest precaution to protect life
and property.
