THE NEW DIPHTHERIA CURE.

Dr. hlnyOun eport on MS researches
Dangers From spurious Anti-Toxiue.
WASHINGTON, Dec 81 The officials
of the United States Marine Hospital
service are watching with interest
the results obtained from the new
diphtheria cure. They have just made
public the report made By DR..
j. J. Klnyoun of his visit to
the Children's hospital at Berlin
where the larger portion of
cases suffering from diphtheria
are treated. There were about
thirtv-five cases in the hospital at the
time of his visit and their ages were
usually from three to five years. The
death rate was slightly lower than
in the Paris hospitals for the reason
that the patients were sent to the
hospital sooner and the children re-
ceived better care than was accorded
them in like institutions in Paris.
DIR. Kinyoun deliberately describes
the methods and practices employed
in the hospitals in treatment of the
disease.
The matter of the control or super
vision of the use of anti toxine was
engaging the attention of the Berlin
authorities. While DR.. Kinyoun was
there. November 4, Professor Koch
convened meeting of the PrusSian
board of health for determining what
action should be taken. Professor
Koch had expressed the opinion that
there should be some government
supervision of the serum so that it
could always be relied upon II
there was no such supervision. it
would not be long before spurious
articles would be put on the market
and not only would good remedy be
brought into disrepute, but lives
might be sacrificed when they might
be saved. 1t was decided at the meet
ing of the board that all serum in
tended for use in Prussia should be
inspected and tested for its purity
and strength before it would be al
lowed to be used. This was satisfac-
tory to all the parties concerned and
will be the means of insuring a good
article of standard strength at all
times for Prussia.
In this connection DR.. Kinyoun
calls attention to what he says will
evidently occur in this country.
Many persons, will, during the com
ing year, prepare the serum as a bus
mess enterprise, and there will. with
out doubt, be many worthless articles
called anti-toXine thrown upon the
market. All of the serum intended
for sale, he believes. should be made
/ or tested by competent persons The
testing. in fact, should be done by dis.
interested parties. The anti toxine,
he says, will never work miracles,
having its limits like any other
agents, and like a perfect piece of
machinery, will not accomplish the
| full result unless directed by a skill
full hand. "Some persons affected
with this dread disease" he declares,
will succomb, it matters not how soon
we apply the remedy. The majority
will. however, | am sure, recover if
the anti-toXiue is given early and
properly"
In closing, the report expresses the
hope that soon every state and munic-
ipality will take the proper steps to
provide facilities for supplying the
remedy to the people.

TERRITORY OF ARIZONA ] EXECUTIVE OFFICE. {

EXECUTIVE OFFICE.
 For more than 8 quarter of century it has been the custom of our people to observe May SOth as Memorial Day, and in harmony there with national and territorial legislation has es- tablished this public holiday, dedicated to the memory of those who wrought out through the wager of battle the principles that all men are born free that the states are members of an indestructible union; and that this republic shall not perish from the earth
 This should be day of patriotic sentiment and love Of country, day whici will be the oil ot gladness to the wounds caused by the terrible conflict, and if there be those who would keep alive acrimonies engendered by the war, let our invocation be Father, forgive them for they know not what they do" May all minds be inspired and all hearts pull sate with sentiments of reconciliation and love.
 ''No more shall the war cry sever Ot the winding rivers be red, They banlsh our anger forever
 when they laurel the graves o. our dead. Under the sod and the dew Waiting the Judgment day; Love and tears for the blue, Tears and love for the gray"
 Now, therefore, I, Louis C. Hughes Gov ernor of the Territory of Arizona, in view of the day and it's purposes, do hereby recom mend that the people observe the same in beftt1ng manner, joining with the surviving members of the Grand Army of the Republic In their memorial serv1ce, and in strewing flowers on the graves of their departed con- rades; thus encouraging reflection on the duties Of patriots in time of the country's peril, and animate the spirit of charity and reconciliation in time of peace, that every section of our Republic may be "one and in- separable."
 Done at Phoenix, the Capital, this 18th day of May, in the year of our Lord, 1885, By the Governor, L.C. HUGHES. c. M. BRUCE, Secretary of Arizona

ARIZONA.

Arizona stands at the threshold of an era of wonderful social and industrial de velOpment. There can't be doubt about the fact. The dawn for which she has waited so long is breaking at last There Is every promise of day of great pros perity and permanent upbuilding just be- fore her. The impulse Of a new and euer- gizing hope is visible everywhere among her people. while the cumulative effect of many things, which made but small i'm pression as they transpired singly, is now commanding for her full share of atten- ti0n and interest abroad among home seekers and capitalists.
 4 lively competition has sprung up for the possession of things which have hereto fore gone a-begging for ownership. There Is a scramble for franchises. Nothing more surely indicates great industrial awaken ing than this. The rates of interest are falling to moderate figures. Nothing more surely indicates confidence and competition among the money lenders than this.
 Arizona has reached that clima cticer period which every western state has ex- perlcnced sometime in its history when. after long and weary struggle and doubt. with each side of the balance first up and then down, the ciouds of despoudency have suddenly rolled away, aud sunhurat of oler-izing hope las thrilled the droop- ing spirits of the people to greater and brayer endeavor than before.
 For the last twelve years the subsistence of the great Tombstone boom and the com pletion of two transcoatinental lines of railroad across her eIritory-Arizona has rather dropped out of public attention. but in that time she has been quietly ac- cumuating fund of substantial wealth and a force of moral character which qualify her now to rise up and take her destiny m her own hands.
 3he population of Arizona is Mexican. Ihis is mistake of great importance from the moral point of view There is but one considerable center of Mexican population h the territory, the city of Tucson, and even there 1t is not by any means at pres ent the predOminating element. It think it is certain that Arizona has not to-day nearly so large a Mexican population as Colorado and not above onetenth as much as New Mexico. -"Fitz Mac" in Denver News.
