COTTON PRODUCTION.
Another Scheme to Reduce It to an
Amount Equal to the Demand.

Amount Equal to the Demand.
Dorchester, Dec. 2l.-Surplus cotton Is
impoverishing the south. A surplus of
cotton must be prevented. Restrict the
Production" cries aloud the whote south.
The methods of restriction suggested so
far are impracticable. Besides the i'm
possible cost of some of them and the i'm
possible machinery of others, their fatal
defect is that they deal in advice only:
they simply appeal to many unrestrained,
Selfish men,.
Restrain the men by law. There are
SO many mules in the south; so many
pounds of cotton to the mule would make
profita bic crop. If a man with an aver
age mule on average land could pro-
duce 1900 pounds and ought to produce
only 1,200 pounds allow the 1900 to the
mule, and let a discouraging tax be
placed by law on the surplus 500 pounds.
The law would be cor stitutional and gen
orally popular. There would be no ex-
ira machinery and no additional expense.
II would rapidly restore the prosperity
of the south. The man and mule would
raise food in the place of surplus cotton
to the mans advantage and the pros
perity of the south; and the tax, il
any, could so into the fund for educa-
ton. W.

Recent Medical Discoveries.

Dr.. Koch's latest discovery promises
more satisfactory results than were Oh.
tanned from his consumption bacillus.
1t is announced with the appearance Of
certainty that his remedy for diphtheria
will cure that disease unfailingly If it
is applied within SO hours after the pa.
tient is first stricken. If this be true,
then one of the most dread terrors Of in
fancy will be annihilated. The exact
nature of DR.. Koch's remedy has not
been made public. In general way,
however, it consists in inoculating the
patient with attenuated diphtheria poi
son-something as one is vaccinated for
SMALLPOX. DR.. Koch first discovered and
cultivated the diphtheria bacillus. So
much confidence has the New York
health board in the Koch remedy that
they propose to establish plant for pre-
pairing and distributing it. 1t is an ex-
pensive remedy.
Meantime DR.. A. Calmette has dis
covered specific against the most vir-
ulent snake poisons. The principle is
the same as that of the hydrophobia and
smallpox cures-inooulate your patient
with attenuated snake poison. he will
take the poison fever in a mild form,
but will henceforth have charmed i'm
munity from the venom of the most
deadly serpent There is great call for
Dr.. Calmette's preparation in India
A young American doctor, George E.
Beyer of New Orleans, has taken q
more reckless way of inoculating him
self with snake poison. He captured
some lively young rattlers, just Matched,
and when they were about two weeks
old-5h inches long-he tormented one
Of them till it bit him. A mild form Of
snake poisoning resulted He will cause
himself to be bitten again as the venom
in the young snakes becomes stronger
thus discovering whether one can be
poisoned by snake bite more than once

, The irrigation of our arid lands is 60
ing very shortly to be one Of the most
important matters this country will
have to deal with. The western and
southwestern lands now needing irriga-
tion will sustain in time prosperous
population of not less than 100, 000,.
900! They are among the most fertile
and most healthful lands in the world
It is of the highest Importance to begin
right in regard to irrigation legislation.
Whether the general government should
control the lands and the watering
thereof is the question of the hour.
Whether the final decision is in favor Of
national or state control, one thing 10
certain-the laws for all parts should be
uniform.

that tho railways OF Prussia were a.
ready under state control before the
consolidation Of tho Empire. About 30
per cent of the whole mileage 10 now
owned by the state.
The experience of Italy is particularly
Instructive. Italy tried all the possible
different methods Of running roads,
private control, public control, mixed
control and the leasing system. ALI
these proving unsatisfactory, q public
investigation Of the subject was ordered
which is certainly the most exhaustive
that has been made up to date. At the
conclusion Of this, the following fixed
system was finally adopted.
An act was passed by which all OF
almost all of the Italian railways were
consolidated in the hands Of two COM
panies, which leased their lines from
the state for long term Of years, and
were left to work them for their own
private interests. This system, which
is practically tie same as has been
adopted by many cities with reference
to their street railway service, has been
practically satisfactory in Italy, as has
also similar system in operation in
Holland.
How Other Nations Have Treated Rail-
While Great Britain does not own
any Of its railroads, the relation between
the roads and public authority is very
different there from what exists in the
United States. Not only rates. but the
building of new roads is carefully SUPER
vised by parliament; and the result has
been 30 well accepted by the people
that a provision made so years ago for
acquiring the roads has been allowed
to die out without notice.
In Russia 40 per cent of the railroad
lines are owned and operated by the
government, and most Of the remainder
are in receipt of subsid les.
Financial Results Of National Railroad
Management.
We may turn now to the considera.
ton of the financial results Of railroad
management in the countries in which
the roads are wholly or partly under
government control, and compare these
with the results in other countries
where the railroads are entirely in pri-
vate hands. A very thorough investi-
cation of this point was made in
Europe in the year 1876. For that year
the operating expenses amounted to the
following per cent of gross income in
the countries named:

The American Desert.

Hundreds of American families be-
lieve thoroughly in it's existence this
fall, and they are persuaded it is . very
great American desert too They are the
people who are moving in such numbers
out of the western parts Of Kansas and
Nebraska. Part Of eastern Colorado is q
similar region. It has taken q good
while to find out that these localities
are not to be depended on to make a
living for the farmer without irrigation.
The lesson is worth much, but tits .
pity it could not have been learned at
smaller cost .a
The soil of the country is fertile
loan. This treeless and rainless region
might be made one Of the most attract
i've spots on the continent 1t is 5000
feet above sea level There are no for
ests to break the force of the icy winds
in winter, the scorching sun in summer.
For little time In spring nature smiles,
and the whole tract is glorious With
waving grass. Then the real estate
agent gets in his work and sells acres
and acres of it to the farmer, who re-
moves thither only to find himself
ruined. His money is all gone, and his
crops dry up. Broken spirited, al;
most destitute, he and his family turn
their faces eastward again. This season
the sad story has been repeated thou
sands of times. Parts of western Kansas
and Nebraska are becoming almost de-
populated
Yet this same country can be made :
smiling garden. When the ground is T.
rigated, when trees are planted plenti-
fully and are large enough to break the
force Of the fierce Manitoba blasts, then
there will be happy, prosperous homes
through this part Of the American desert
