The parties who are really responsible
for the killing of Willis in East Boston
on the Fourth of July are those who be-
gan the attack upon the procession which
led to the subsequent rioting. They are
the guilty parties, and they should be
hunted downEand punished The killing
of Willis was one of the consequences of
their unlawful acts too remote perhaps to
make them legally responsible for his
death, but not too remote to make them
morally responsible. But for the attack
upon the procession they are legally res
ponsible and ought to be made to pay the
penalty

There appears to be something the mat
ter with Lewiston's city hall. At any
rate the city government has just made
a contract with two builders to make the
roof safe for $1,000. 1t would seem that
the parties to make the roof safe, if it is
insecure, are the original builder Or
architect or both. An unsafe roof would
seem to imply poor work or faulty design
which somebody was responsible for and
under obligation to remedy.

leave out of the reckoning his vast contriDu-

Ground of his achievements for the science OF

him a place second to that OF no man OF the

say that the germ theory" is the most important
feature Of modern medical science. We owe all
that. and all that may in future come OF it, to
Louis Pastcur.
II was he who established in the face Of the
scorn and incrcdulity OF the scientific world, the
facts that fermentation Of organic matter ana
various diseases Of living bodies are caused by
the presence and action Of specific living germs;
that such germs are produced. and are produced
only. by other like germs; that all life must pro-
ceed from precxistent life, and that spontaneous
generation IS a myth and that. consequently,
If we can destroy the germs OF disease we shall
cure the disease, and II we can exclude The
germs we shall prevent the disease. We need
NOT consider now the vast significance OF the%
discoveries in relation to abstract biology. To
that ample witness has been borne. and by no
one more generously and Justly than by Thomas
uuxlcv. But wherever men seek safety In

or cholera or other diseases. as thousands have
done with happlest results; and wherever med
teal science wages successful war against the
dooth.nroducng animaculcs Of tuberculosis, or
any other contagious or infectious plague: and
wherever the need Of freeing mir and water and
food from noxious bacteria is recognized and
octed upon there will Pasieur still be living and

race We shall do well 10 keep in mind his say

PtSTETR AND HIS WORK.

Tie giants Of science are falling in swift sue
cession Tynda IIelmholtZ, Huxley, and now
Pasteur There were not four greater scientists
in their generation in all the world. To say
their death Is an irreparable loss is trite and
obvious comment. In a measure II is true; but
not in widest measure. Such men are missed
though chiefly by few. But their works abide
as lasting benefactions 10 myriads TO whom they
themselves were but names; 10 myrads, more
over, who are quite unconscious Of whose work
II is that profits them. While II is loss TO the
world 10 have them die. it is an immense gain

in the case Of J. uis Pasicui. His personality

not even seek 10 popularizc his work and his
career. There was scarcely n man Of his time
