A New Remedy for Diphtheria.

A representative Of the New York Board
of Health has just returned from trip
abroad made for the purpose of investi-
eating a new German remedy that is
said to be almost a certain cure for diph-
iberia. His report is SO enthusiastic that
our authorities are to be asked to estab-
lish labratory for the development of
the remedy here. The outcome will be
awaited with anxious interest by every
one who fully understands how much is
a stake.
Diphtheria is the most malignant
membe of small group of contagious
diseases the other mem bers being scarlet
fever, measles, and whooping-cough.

THE OHIO DEMOCRATS.

The Ohio Democratic convention
turned out family quarrel. There were
some platitudinous denunciations of the
the platform adopted, but it was only
when the delegates pitched in

Tested real feeling and were
obviously in earnest. The row was
opened with a resolution declaring in
favor of the election of Senators by pop

State committee to place in the call for
the next state convention an announce
mant that the candidate for United
States Senator will be named by said
convention who shall receive the sup
port Of the Democratic mem bers of the
legislature to be elected thereafter. The
second part of the resolution was aimed
directly at Senator Brice. Then J.H.
Clark of Youngstown pulled the trigger
and discharged it. Tt is evident that the
crowd was against Brice, and the men
who undertook to put in a word for him
gos scant courtesy. The charge was made

NEARING THE END.
The united States May Intervene In the
Chinn.Japnn War.

WAsHISoToS, D. G., Nov 1.-THE
cable from Toxic to-day expliins the
exact terms on which the United States
Is proposing to act as peacsmaker be-
tween China aud Japan. and 1t clears
up much mystery which has existed as
to details.
It is the belief here that China will
readily accept the mediation OF the
United States and that Japan will do 90
after she is assured OF the indemnify
China will yield. China has already
gone so far as 10 notify this govern
ment that it will join Japan in recogniz-
ing the complete independence OF Korea,
which would result in the Japanese
evacuation OF Korea and the re-establlsh.
ment Of the former reigning powers.
China has also made known 10 this
government that it was willing 10 pay
cash indemnity 10 Japan.
Mr.. Gresham's cable inquiries TO
China, therefore, contemplated, first,
China's acceptance Of the United States
as mediator; second, a statement OF
Chiua's exact offer 70 Japan Of the
terms and amount OF cash indemnity
she will pay. As to the amount OF cash
It is not likely that Japan will accept
the mediation unless 500, 900 10
offered. This will about represent what
Japan has actually spent on the war,
Japan does not expect this, but she will
insist on actual damages.
The cable disclosure from Toxic that
France made a proposition to the
United States four days ago adds new
feature to the question here. 1t has
been known that European powers
were urging forcible Intervention, and
this has been largely instrumental In
inducing the United States to suggest
mediation without force. 1t is under.
stood that the French proposition has
becn rejected.
The situation therefore presents an
interesting game Of international dipio-
macy. On one hand the great powers
Of Europe are threatening to foroibly
come between China and Japan. while
on the other hand the United States
offers to come between them as peace
maker. As between the two PROPOSE
tions, 1t Is not doubted that the two
coutending powers will look to the
TTnited stataa

lam /. Wilson gives his views Of the
causes Of Democratic defeat in
the recent election, declaring that
1t 10 neither discreet nor a dignifed
thing for member Of defeated party
to attempt to explain his own or his
par,y's defeat. He says:
Undoubtedly there were local infu-
ences as there were individual can
didaciea aud factional fights, that con-
tributed to and emphasized the general
result, but It must be admitted that
there were strong forces everywhere
operative, that really shaped and
brought about that result. Tho greatest
OF all these forces was the severe in
dussrial depression. Hard times is an
enemy before which no political party
in America has ever been able to make
successful stand when in power.

is the defeat Of tariff REFORM do not
believe the people have rebuked or dis
carded tariff reform in their action last
Tuesday. In every campaign from that
Of 1885 TO 1892 1t has been the great
issue, and in every campaign except
that OF 1888 the Democratic party has
won decided victory on that issue. II
they have inflicted chastisement be-
cause OF its dealings with the
tarif, it has been rather because
the party did not carry out with
sufficient promptness and thoroughness
the work they committed TO it,
and, because they have held the whole
party responsible for the action of
