1883 Klebs discovered the characteristic
bacillus of true Bretonneau diphtheria.
In 1884 Loeffler confirmed this and sue
ceeded in isolating it from other kinds
of bacteria always present and obtained
the baeilli in pure cultures. After COM
petent meteorological examination of the
discharges the diagnosis of true diph-
liberia or Group rests upon the presence
or absence of this bacillus. Soon after
ward Professor Behring, an assistant to
Koch of Berlin, invented the process of
gradually immunizing animals from the
effects of diphtheritic poison until final
ly an antitoxine serum could be derived
from blood taken from their jugular
veins, which could be injected into the
tissues of man, and thus confer immu
nifty to exposed persons, or cure of the
disease if injected during the first three
days. A healthy horse is the animal
chosen, and it requires from six weeks
to three months to complete immuniza-
ton. They begin by injecting into the
neck or shoulder the toxines from pure
cultures, gradually increasing their vir-
ulency and the dose. It takes about a
month to cultivate these strong toxines,
and before injection they are diluted
with one-fourth volume of iodine. The
first dose is four drops, but at the close
of the period the horse receives $50 @,
G, or 4, $50 drops without showing any
local reaction or fever.
Advantages of the New Treatment.
The antitoxine serum is separated
from the blood of the horse and mixed
with 3 per cent of trikesol to prevent
decomposition. It is a clear. coIorless
liquid, of thick consistency, quite
sticky, has a carbolio odor, and is in
jected under the skin of the patient be-
tween the shoulder blades, on the thigh
or arm. No reaction follows, and the
rash that sometimes appears is of no
consequence. The skin should be washed
with soap and cleansed with alcohol be-
fore injecting

ONE of the most glaring injustices
connected with our system of administer
ing the laws, was illustrated this week
when a man was discharged from Gus
tody who had been in prison a year
though guilty of no offense. Though
broken down in health as the result of
his incarceration, and though being de-
prived of that most sacred boon, his lib
erty, without reason, he has no recourse.
1t does seem as though the state should
as far as possible compensate the victims
of its officials in such cases. Wrongs
perpetrated in the name of the law are
innumerable.

HOmicides and Hangings.

Philadelphia Inquirer: Carefully pre-
pared statistics show that there were
$500 homicides in this country last year,
and only 1872 legal hangings. In 1891 there
were 5,906 of the former, so that the IL
crease is out of all proportion to the
growth of the population. 1t is not the
fault of the character of the penalty for
murder that this crime Is increasing so
greatly, but rather the fault of n lack of
execution of the penalty. Sentimental
prejudice against the carrying out of
capital punishment and the readiness
with which lawyers resort to all possible
technicalties by which murderers can be
saved from the gallows have helped to
stay, and often to prevent, the execution
of Justice. Not only, too Is murder in
creasing, but 1t Is being invested with un-
usually repellant features. The merce-
nary motive predominates In many cases,
and the perpetrators make their arrange
ments as coolly as II they were about to
seize upon piece of real estate instead OF
to take a human life. Avarice seems TO
have destroyed conscience to great ex-
tent, and insane eagerness to be rich has
smothered the best instincts of humanity
Imprisonment for life has often been
urged as n substitute for hanging, but for
the ordinary murderer 1t has no terrors
To be housed and warmed and well fed at
the expense Of the state brings happiness
to the mind of the criminal. Today there
are in our prisons hundreds OF murderers
who are treated as no more to be abhored
than the most commonplace thief who

About State Arbitration,

Several days ago We gave an alb
stract OF the bill whereby Representa-
tive Ames. of Clearfield county, pro-
poses to prevent labor strikes-a bill
chiefly conspicuous by it's lack of a
penalty clause, which omission Is
manifestly fatal to its usefulness. We
have since learned that almost the ex-
act counterpart of the bill has been
introduced by Representative Jones, of
Chicago, into the Illinois legislature;
and 1t, likewise, has as we may say no
enacting clause, since its whole compll-
Gated structure of interference by a
state arbitration commission carries
with 1t no penalty for the ignoring, by
either side to the dispute. of its sapient
decisions.
This measure has now been followed
in the Illinois Legislature by two others
each elaborate with respect to the du-
ties and salaries of the arbitrators, the
arbltrator's chief clerk and the various
expert and common witnesses; but con-
talning in each instance not the re-
motest possible reference to penalty
sufficient to give vital force to such
state arbitration. The details in which
these four bills differ are immaterial
but the detail In which they coincide Is
startling in its unanimity and sugges-
tiveness. The contention of these law
makers in every instance Is identical
with that of Governor Hastings when
me asserted, in effect, in his recent In
algural address that the legal and con-
stitutional powers Of the state. In such

This Is the Time to Think.

From now until Feb. 10 the voters of
Scranton should do some earnest think
ing. The candidates for council are in
nomination and their merits and claims
to the positions they aspire to fill are
open for consideration. Let the voters
of Scranton weigh we'll the qualities of
those who are anxious to be their SER
wants and insist THAT they possess the
same sterling qualities that would
recommend them favorably for high
position of private trust.
All of the men who aspire to be coun-
cilmen have not the qualifications ne
cessary for such a position. Council
men should first of all be clean, honest
men of unquestloned integrity; they
should be broad minded men who keep
constantly in view the necessities of
this rapidly growing municipality; men
who believe THAT the same degree of
care should be experienced in transact
ing public business as there would be
in conducting a private enterprise.
With such councilmem Scranton will
continue to grow and flourish and pub
lie works will keep apace with the
clty's development.
Incompetent and small caliber coun-
clmen will continue to clog the wheels
of progress, as they have in the past, TO
the great injury of the city i'm many

HypnOtiSm in Courts.

The result of the trial of Claus BliXt

by the thoughtful citizen with more

the peculiar line of defense to be pur-
sued. When arrested for the murder Of

the crime had been committed while
he was under the Influence of hypno-
tic spell east over him by Harry Hay
ward. In view of the ground which the
implicit faith in hypnotism is gaining
IN this country THE danger of the sue
cess of such "a plea must become APP
parent at a glance. The insanity dodge
by which the perpetrators of many
fiendish crimes have in past escaped
justice sinks to insignlficance beside
this new species of jugglery whereby
the intelligent jury may be wheedled
into returning yiardicts contrary Ito
law and justice. In the matter of tenn
pCrary insanity there has been cer-
tain limit to the methods of defense in
a murder case; but THE possibilities of
the hypnotic theory are incalculable.
IN his manner of grasping the mes
meric straw BliXt has evidently made
great blunder. The popularity of
BliXt's defense lis that he made the
plea of hypnotism Immediately after
being accused of the crime, and there
in lies its greatest weakness. 1t is a
peculiarity of the hypnotic state that
the subject is quite Obivous of all that
may occur while under the influence.
The events of THAT period are as a blank
to him. He is cogniZant of them only
when placed again under the influence
and induced to bear his mind upon
science. but well-established fact.
Therefore, under these circumstances,
CLAUS BiiXt would never, of his own
knowledge, have known of the death
of Miss Cling by his hand. The natural
course would be for him to protest ig-
norance of the event Being thrown
under the influence once more, he might
tell with willingness all the details of
the crime, but until he succumbed to
another will his mind would be a blank
as to the events of the might when, as
he says. he struck the fatal blows under
the direction of Harry Hayward S
will power. Upon this account it is not
likely THAT success will ATTEND his eff
forts to escape punishment Of some
sort.
But the greatest danger consists in
allowing hypmots!m to gain a foothold
in the>counts as a line of defense The
next red-handed assassin will probably
take warning from the experience of
BliXt and be better prepared with his
line of action. II the hypnotic theory
