Value Of Anti:oXin.

The most important step made by
medical science during tie year 1874
is the discovery of antitoXin, the new
apeciifc for diphtheria. The trails of
its efficacy have proved to tie satisfac-
ton o. the entire medical world that
it is a cure remedy for this disease
when used in time. and a preventative
TO ward oil possible attack. IL sue
cess has been demonstrated both in
Europe and III America, and Is con-
ceIei by physicians, bacterioiogists
and pathoIo-ists everywhere. DR..
Briggs Of the health department Of
New y ork city who made thorough
investigation Of the subject in Europe,
thus reports upon antitoxin:

cent, on the fourth day seyenty-slX per
cent. and on the ti.th day tiity-seyen

justified that:

demands. It's necessary 10 establish

An I:IcyifaHIc Conflict

The Liberal, in ace of the Tory mo-
nopoly of the upper chamber, mu I
make stand or consent to their own
virtual extinction. If the Conservatives
fail 10 see this, and then ask what they
would think of the monarchy, if the
Prince OF Wales when he came to the
throne were to pose as thorough going
Radical and 10 refuse to give ihe royal
assent TO any measure passed by the
Conservatives. The Tories themselves
would declare that in such case the
monarchy would not be worth six
months purchase Neither party can
afford to allow an integral part Of the
legislative machine to pass solidlv and
permanently into the hands OF its oppo-
nents without acquiscing at the same
time IN It's own anaihilation a an in
strument of government Hence the
que ton OF the peers is for the Liberals
question Of life and death. That, aud
that alone, explains why, with infinite
reluctance and without any clear and
dcinate plan, Lord Rosebcrv has been
compelled to challenge the peers to a
conflict, the immediate result of which
is unfortunately fore-one conclusion.

Life 4 Public Trust.

! Chicago Tnter-Occ:n.
There is one condition precedent tC
! all the corrupti0ns of civic government
that has been overlooked, but which l.
worth few minutes consideration on a
sunday morning. 1t is this: The der
elict police and other officials of the
great cities are not by nature worse
than other men. They are Just what
their parents and their associates have
made them to be, and these in turn are,
in great degree, Just refexes of cur
rent methods and morals.
The boys Of some of the readers Of
The sunday Inter Ocean will become
public servants. What training are
they UNDERGOING at home. at school, in
society that Will strengthen them 10
resist temptations to dishonesty or TO
malfeasance? What are the words that
are most often used as incentives 10
the action OF a boy? Grit, push, energy,
vim, dash, pluck, shrewdness. These
are the qualities laid down as most adj
mirable. Admirable, indeed, they are,
but not most admirable Duty, honor,
selI-denial, patience, patriotism, stand
for nObler things. Do our boys hear
these words often enough?
How earnestly we commend to our
boy the study ofthe career Of some man
who began life with no money and with
no schooling, bat who now is worth his
million. How seldom DO we BID him
revere the lie of Father Damien, who
renounccd all that makes life pleasant
and gave himself 10 the service Of the
lepers OF Hawaii? How often do we
praise the successful, though unscrupu-
lous, dash" Of some politician or mil
liomaire, and how seldom do we give
praise TO the defeated man because he
was dc Gated only because he would
not trade honor for success? How often
DO our boys hear us praise, and praise
a. if we were enviuu3 Of it, the IS mart
trick by which some public servant
or Spectator has fixed things" to his
own advantage, though to the serious
detrInent Of others, and how seldom
do We commend man who, like Sam
uel Randall, or like Jefferson, or like
Lincoln, spent his life in public service
and went to bis grave rich orly in the
gratitude OF his fellow beings?
! Some scant phrases IF virtue are used
at odd times. When a scandal of uE-
usua! dimension is rife we shake our
heads gravely and say solemnly to our
/ selves and TO our boys: a public Of
! flee is a public trust" Do We ever CON
( siIer that the Ii e Of every man is in
some sort a public trust, touching in
some points upon the interests of the
/ public, tending in many OF its acts and
( savings to the elevation or degradation
/ of public morals? DO we ever teach
our boy that his life is public trust?
/ DO We tell him that it is impossible for
any one to live to himself alone, that
! the world viii be little better or a
! little worse or the lie that he spends
/ in it?

NATIONAL POLITICS.

The presidential campaign Of 1896
will begin with the meeting Of con-
greSS. Dec. ., 1895. Some Of the is
sues may be presented in the preSi-
dents message, but the greater part
of them will be worked out in the bills
and resolutions introduced and the
speeches made upon them.
No important legislation Of a parti-
san character can be enacted by the
Fifty-fourth congress. While the Re-
publicans have a majority of 135 in
the house of representatives, no party
will control the senate. AS the body
now stands the Republicans have A.
members, the Democrats 80 and the
Populists 6. There is one vacancy.
no election having been made by the
legislature Of Delaware of successor
to Anthony Higgins Dupont will
claim the seat. but it is very doubtful
whether the claim will be allowed.
Should Dupont be seated, and both
senators from the new state of Utah
be Republicans, as IS expected, the
senate would stand-Repubiicans 40:
Democrats. 50; POpulists, 6. This
gives the Republicans just half of the
senate.
Neither the Republicans or the Dem
ocrats VIII enter into any alliance with
the PopuliStS. except upon condition
that they go into caucus and agree to
be bound by caucus action.
SO far as the president Is concerned
the situation is much the same as it
WAS during his first term, when the
senate WAS Republican and the house
WAS Democratic. except that his finan-
cial policy. and especially his contract
with the bond syndicate. which will
all be Had bare by both ends of con-
gress rs a ms iority Of both houses and
senate are noJ only against Mr.. Cleve-
land but in open war against his syn
dicate gold deal.

CUBAN REMINIsCENCE.

Exactly fifty-four years ago this
summer a Cuban revolution was pro-
crossing under General Lopez, vet
eG+in Carlist soldier in rebellion against
Spain. General Concha tafter whom
cigars were nameD had command of
the Spanish troops.
Notwithstanding the neutrality laws.
expeditions of men from New Orleans.
Mobile and Jacksonville, Fla, set out
with arms and supplies and arrived in
Cuba TO aid General Lopez. One for
midable regiment of volunteers, re-
cruited in the Mississippi valley, under
Colonel Crituenden, who had fought in
the Mexican war, landed.
But the Creole inhabitants Of Cuba
held aloof. and little by little the forces
of Lopez We're decimated and captured.
for Cuba was crowded with Spanish
soldiers. Early in the campaign fifty
of the American volunteers We're cap
tured and shot-the Spanish files of
soldiers sooting them in the back and
treating the bodies with savagery.
This aroused a deep feeling Of re-
sentiment throughout the country. and
President Fillmore found it difficult to
restrain the most open violation Of the
neutrality laws. Sympathetic public
meetings were held in all the principal
cities. At an immense mass meeting
in the City Hall park, such men as
Charles O'COnnor and Francis B. Cut
ting were vice presidents, and Abran
Wakeman, afterward congressman
and postmaster, was secretary. Lopez
was captured and garroted in Havana
and the revolution ended.
But at present the Creole inhabitants
Of Cuba take more interest in the re-
bellion, while the Cleveland admins
tration seems to emulate the Fillmore
government of that period in sympa-
thieS with Spanish misrule.
