NOTE AND COMMENT.

bacillus anthracis clavitorm" is the name
world by NJ. Physalix, a French bacteriolo-
gist. He breeds it from the microbe of anth-
rax, by the incubation of guinea pigs; he thus
changes the properties of the original bacillus
as well as It's shape. 1t has the appearance of
a short rod. Just what use this discovery is
TO be we are not told, but some application
for good will doubtless be found, for the
psychologists boast is that his labors are all
in the direction of benefcence. But really
Nj. Physalix must invent a shorter and more
convenient name for his new microbe. The
age can stand much, but not the title the
Frenchmen gives TO his discovery.
1t is said that a shrewd Yankee has per-
fected machine that will knock out the bi-
cycle. He calls it the unicycle. The rider Is
supported upon two small wheels running
upon the inner surface of broad larger
wheel which really constitutes the road way
for the lesser wheels. This machine is but
half the weight and size of the average BIZ
cycle, is twice as speedy and is cheaper-next!

LET other cities which have not yet
fallen into the error profit by the mis-
take of Sacramento. She has granted the
right to six distinct companies to carry
electric wires through the streets on
poles. One of these companies has two
systems practically. The city has in ad
dition an electrical fire alarm system de-
man ding another set of poles for wires.
AS result we have eight distinct lines of
poles on the streets. some of them carry
ING forty or fifty wires. besides number
Of private lines. In some places these
noles are so thickly planted that they
stand touching each other. Now had
there been due foresight it mig int have been
provided that just SO far as possible. all Of
the companies should carry their wires Oh
the same poles. 1t is certain that all the
companies having wires in this city
could suspend them on half the number
NJ nolss that now line the streets, had
tbere been provision made that the cor
noratious should place their wires so far
as possible upon poles to be used ID
common.

should organize as sort of State council
and advisory board, and that the organi-
cation should be a permanent one.
1t Is an excellent idea. The law re-
1t requires all County Superintendents
of instruction to assem- BILE in annual con-
vention. 1t would be a good law that re-
quired all the County Supervisors to rub
up against one another once a year in
council. But it Is far better that such re-
unions be voluntary. A committee was
appointed to prepare a plan for such an
organization as is indicated, and there is
reasonable probability that the scheme
will be worked out.
1t ought to be. 1t is step needing the
broadcast and heartiest encouragement.
The reason for 1t is too obvious to call for
any exploitation here. Such an organiza-
ton we say in brief, however, will be-
come actually more important body
than the Legislature. 1t will do more for
the State than the Legislature can, for it
will not make laws, of which there are
too many now. but it will study how to
make the State and its communities bet
ter, stronger, more economic and pros
porous. and all the people more happy.
1t will be an exchange, school, par
lament, love feast, and perhaps ly-
ceum of contention. But no matter it
will all work for good, as do all consulta-
tons of citizens inspired by common
purpose-the prosperity of the State and
every section of it.

TIE FOURTH MEXICAN LETTER.
In the fourth Mexican letter by Pro-
lessor Bernard Moses, which we shall
guished scholar and observer treats of
the economic revolution now in progress
in Mexico, and 10 illustrate the subject
makes note of important observations in
Mexico before the advent of the railway
era OF that country. He points out the
difference between the cities OF the
United States Influenced in development
by railroad building and those of Mexico,
but into which we cannot here enter with
out detracting from the interest attaching
to the reading of the letter in its purity.
Professor Moses takes the city of OAK
the early condition of all the Mexican
cities. because it has been easily accessi-
bic for such short period, SO that its cir
cumstances are more nearly like what
they were prior TO its relation to the
world by railways. The description OF
this city, its location, business and manu-
featuring industries and its agricultural
surroundings, should be carefully
studied by the reader, since Professor
Moses assures US that its condition is
typical of all Mexican towns with like
agriculture! environment and whose
growth is due to such surroundings.
Professor Moses is especially lucid in
his explanation of the change that is
experienced by the Mexican town by rea-
son of the coming Of a railway, a change
that is a transformation Of its life. for the
railway carries waves from without into
the town, new demands are created, new
tastes cultivated, new desires developed,
and there comes upon the place such
change as practically revolutionizes its
economic and, to some extent. it's social
conditions. Such transformation does
not, however, come suddenly, says Pro-
to shake off, and an entire people is not
at once converted to new ways.
Professor Moses takes up two other
towns of prominence in Mexico, the
more forcibly to illustrate the central
thought of his deeply interesting letter.
In the description OF these towns and
their industries and commerce, the writer
Introduces us to great deal in Mexican
life that is if not new, so presented as to
invest it with new interest. But there is
much that is new. also. Tor very few
writers for the press upon foreign coun-
acterizes Professor Moses treatment Of
Mexico and her revival. In the letter we
print tomorrow not only is the city of
Oaxaca described in graphic manner,
but also the trade, character. location and
exterior influences of Jalapa and Oriz-
aba. and particularly of Puebla and the
Capital of the Republic, the City of Mex
leo. as places that have felt most notably
the force OF the new stimulus born of
railway building. The letter is certainly
the most important, as it is the most in
teresting and informing of the series thus
far contributed by Professor Moses.

he said: Both Governor T:llman and
myself are heartily with You for pro

pensary as short cut, but prohibition
will be the ultimate outcome
