Rev Lighf.on Biphiheria.

If the reported results of recent re.
searches in diphtneria by the Bacteri.
illogical Bureau OF the New YORK
Department are confirmed they are
extremely Important.
The power TO transmit the infection
of diphlhcria, it IS found, fingers
sometimes for as nhuch as twelve DAYS
and occasionally three or four weeks
in patients who have made an ap-
parertly perfect recovery from this
most deadly disease. In other words,
the Infection may have lost its patho-
genie power in q person who he.
suffered from It, while others who
have not been iroculated with the
poison may he liable 10 take it from

In this view of diphtheria a new
duty devulyes on teachers in all
schools, especially in the public
schools. 4 i. MT enough TO prevent
a scholar who has had diphtheria
from mingling with the other pupils
during the period of incubation and
convalcscence. The spread of the
disease. it seems, can only be checked
by keeping a d~iphtheria patient from
the school until d psychological ex-
animation shows that he no longer
carries the germs of the disease. This
may work hardship TO some pupils,
but it is better for a few to b ar with
a considerable detention from school
than 20 Hndanger the itcs of his fel-
CIV scholars.

at least one of the advocates of that

avowal that the object of the bill and

wages in this country down to the
foreign level. When John {. Black
of Illinois. Clcvelant's former Com
missioner of Pensions, had the floor
on Tuesday he said:

That is not { fair way to put it,

of removing all artificial inequalities
that create a fictitious value OF wages
and of letting wages have their nat.

"The natural condition of things
in the opinion nt De,nocratic Con

be reduced to the level Of free com
