that he can be dealt with; in the way
that every man who despises and sets
aside and oyerrides the law must be
dealt with, by applying to him the
compulsory force of law in it's utmost

From beginning to end, for the orig

expense entailed upon the city by suits
for the collection of back pay, there
is one man and one man only to blame.
That man is Comptroller McCardy
That man is he, the beauty of whose

of serious damage from the playful
antics of the animal whose head

DoDGING THE CONSTITUTION.

1t is not likely that the attempt of
the South Carolina legislature to cir
cumvent the federal courts and the
constitution will. be successful. The
liquor law of the state has been held
void so far as it prevented a citizen
from importing liquor from another
state, because it was an interference
with interstate commerce To dodge
this and get shelter Behind the ex-
pansive and elastic police power of
the states, the latest legislature of that
eccentric state enacted that all liquor
coming into the state is ''contraband
and against the morals good health
and safety Of the state until the state
chemist shall have analyzed 1t and
found it to be healthful.
Federal courts have been very tender
of the police powers of the states. but
as In the Minnesota meat inspection
laws, they have not hesitated to go
behind the pretense of guarding the
public health to find and denounce the
proscriptive motive and to hold the
law invalid. 1t is quite certain that
this latest dodge Of legislative in
genuity will share the fate of our in
spection law when it reaches a federal

While men in various portions of the
world are waging war on each other
and striving to kill in order to subdue,
in all the civilized world men of science
are waging a war against the diseases
that attack men and carry them to
untimely graves. What is the better,
the nobler of these two struggles, which
should have the greater attention,
which should best deserve commemora-
tive statues for it's heroic leaders, the
better instincts of our natures leave no
doubt. But old habits cling, old notions
are long-lived, and progress is clogged
by surviving ideas bred by conditions
passed or passing away. The military
leader is still the hero, the bloody con-
f1ict of armed men still the leading
event. Washington erects statues Of
warriors in her circles, while the heroes
of industrial and scientific progress
sleep in unmarked graves.
But in laboratories all over the
world quiet men are waging persistent
war against the bacilli Of disease. Pas
teur turned the flank of the invisible
but malignant enemy and opened the
way to assaults in every direction.
Koch followed with a supposed rem
edy for consumption, but gave the
test which would reveal the presence
of the disease in cows, whence 1t may
be transmitted to human beings, while
Pasteur's discovery led to processes
bearing his name which render the
milk innocuous. Nothing but the
shadow Of the fatality Of smallpox re-
mains, and diphtheria affrights mora
than 1t kills. Antiseptics no longer
permit flesh wounds to tester under
the irritation Of microbes, and Roent-
gen may have opened a way to make
visible the interiors Of our bodies to
the eye Of the surgeon and physician.
Tubercule bacilli, the disease germs
that cause consumption, are now be-
ing besieged on every hand. Recently
we noted that Dr. Kitasato, the jap
anese bacteriologist. was reported to

. IN A NUTSHELL,

Mr.. Eckels is one of the few men in
2 this country to talk straight from the
shoulder 1t is most refreshing, after
reading the inconsequential, bewildered
and bewildering utterances of politi-
ncians in congress and out of it, and
hearing the vagaries with which they
endeavor to embellish the financial
question, to come upon the plain, prac-
tical, comprehensive and conclusive
statement of the comptroller of the
currency. The opinion which Mr. Eek
els expresses is the opinion of every
man who is in intimate touch with
the financial operations in this coun-
try, or whose business interests make
him familiar with the views and
movements of capital. There is one
and just one and only one drawback
to prosperity today. 1t is the uncer-
tainty of capital as to the future legis-
lation of this country on the currency
question. There is plenty of money in
the United States, and hundreds of
millions of dollars more ready to come
whenever it has a guarantee Of a
safe return. There is plenty Of work
for labor. and plenty Of labor ready for
work. There is no lack Of any Of the
resources or products Of nature or Of
the activities Of man. There is no con-
dition from East to West or from
North to South hostile to the intensest
Industrial activity which the country
has ever known, except the instability
Of our financial system.
The United States senate has invited
frequent reproach, but all it's other
performances put together have not
been as dastardly and as costly to
the country as Its perpetual agitation
of free silver. Now, as Mr.. Eckels says,
the people Of the United States are
going to have this thing settled once
for all. They are full of righteous in
dignation at the continued postpone
ment Of better times. They under
stand that there will be no better times
until capital knows what 1t is to look
forward to. They are going to put an
end to the free silver agitation, and
they are going to end it in the right
way. 1t will be a wise and polite
thing for Democrats everywhere to
face this situation clearly. The people
have made up their minds. They are
going to settle the policy Of this coun-
try in favor Of sound money with
such emphasis that f1atism will not
show it's head again for a generation.
Neither the Democratic nor the Re
publican party can check or defeat
this operation. But either Of them can
very easily play the part Of the bull
on the railroad track in front Of the
advancing locomotive.
If either party takes a stand this
year in favor of free coinage, 1t will
not merely make mistake, it will not
merely place itselfMin opposition to
national interests. but 1t will invite
absolute destruction There will be no
more future for a.oparty that places
itself on record this year for the per-
petuation of financial uncertainty,
commercial distrust and industrial stag

NOT ACCEPTED WITHOUT REsER-
VATION

The statement which comes again in
a still more positive and apparently
better authenticated form to the effect
that some Chicago physicians have
proved conclusively by experiment that
the x rays are fatal to the germs Of
certain deadly diseases must be ac-
cepted with some caution The news
papers in general have taken up the
subject because of its great interest
and Importance, and of course the Chi
cago professors are not averse to
having their fame heralded abroad as
saviors of their race. No doubt they
are convinced that they have made a
tremendously important discovery, and
believe that their experiment is final
Nor is the supposition entirely an un-
reasonable one The susceptibility of
germ life to light is well understood
1t might readily happen that these par
ticular rays, when concentrated and
thrown upon colonies of bacilli in
their primitive strength, would prove
either stimulating or deadly.
1t is to be remembered, however,
that other experimenters have reached
different results. This same idea that
the X rays would prove destructive to
bacteria occurred very early to many
scientific men, and has been more or
less thoroughly investigated The first
report was that The disease germs were
as lively, and apparently as healthy
after exposure as before. While that
may have been due to some imperfec-
tion in the conditions of the experiment.
1t does at least oblige us to wait for
further and more conclusive evidence
before accepting the contrary. If how
ever, 1t should prove to be true that
these rays which now attract SO much
attention bring death to the germs Of
some of the diseases most deadly to
humanity, it will be the most i'm
portant and splendid discovery of the
age.

ANOTHER ANNOYANCE TO THEA
TER sGOERS.

Inc VI e last Sunday contained
a letter from Mr.. J. H. Gilmour, the
actor, which merits consideration at
the hands of the press and the public.
me dramatic critic of the G b e had
commented upon the fact that the actor
did not speak loudly enough to be heard
: IN the first act OF Sowing the Wind" ="
:. and Mr.. Gilmoura replied that the real
lault would be found to rest not SO
much with his enunciation as with the
disturbed condition of the house dur
ing the greater part of the first act
The dropping Of seats, the swish of
gowns, the tread of heavy boots in the
gallery make it a practical impossi-
bllty for the actor to keep to his Gus
,tomary. modulations of voice, and yet
be heard. That he should Shout
throughout the first act is concession
which the public sdoes not deserve
and. which, besides, would throw the
whole performance out of key. OF the
keep to his ordinary ,enunciation and
let the audience suffer the consequences
of the disturbance created by 1.-The of
fensive late-comer and the obstreper-
Gus usher"
1t cannot be denied that these conse
Quences are a serious and increasing
annoyance in all theaters; and If our
theater-going public We're not the best
natured body of people in the world,
such a state Of things would not be
tolerated The nuisance has reached
such proportionsethat no one any long
er really expects to understand or en-
joy the first half OF. the first act of any
play.
The effectual remedy for this annoy
aiice is IN the hassds of the managers.
The doors OF theatgr should be closed
at the beginning of the first act, and
not reopened u1tA it's end. If people
will not take the trouble to be on time
at such performances, it is but just that
the late corners themselves should be
the only persons to suffer by their tar
diness. At present the actors and the
large body Of the audience are made
the victims Of the negligence of the
few The late comes IS as acute, if not
as enduring an annoyance as the big
hat, and like it, he must be abolished.

deaths, but no confirmation has yet
come. But in our own country one
of our eminent physicians, DR.. Cyrus
Edison, of New York, has found and
presented to his profession what he
terms aseptolin a rem medial solution for
the treatment OF consumptives. In
February he published an article in
the Medical Record describing his
remedy, and it's effects as far as tried.
Proceeding on the fact that carbolic
acid was destructive of tubercule
bacilli, he experimental for months in
search of some preparation of 1t which
could be injected into the blood of a
consumptive, which would not be dan
gerous to the patient, and would yet
be eficacious In destroying the bacilli
that were eating away the lungs The
problem he set himself to solve was:
Here is known antiseptic that kills
the cultivated germs of this disease;
1t is ever present in the blood, and
nature increases the quantity in dis
ease, but it cannot be injected without
poisoning the patient. Why?

or the 213, 27 are cured and 67 are pro-
nounced durable; and their physicians
reported others as better" while in
81 cases the improvement was only
temporary. The other day the press
reports had the results of three tests
of aseptolin made on convicts in the
Western penitentiary of New York.
One, CalerS had wasted away from a
strong man of 165 pounds to 1874 under
constant hemorrhages AS the treat
ment progressed the hemorrhages
ceased, he gained flesh, his cough dis
appeared, his face took on a healthy
color and his whole condition under
went change. His wasted lungs are
not, of course. restored, but what re-
main are benefited He stands a stout
blow on the chest, where three months
ago, he could bear no concussion. In
another case the prison physician
thinks the disease is arrested, and the
man declares himself well. In the third
case, decided improvement was stopped
by a freshly contracted cold, develop
ing pleurisy. The success has been so
assured that the physicians propose
to use aseptolin hereafter on con-
sumptive convicts. The treatment was
a subcutaneous injection Of 100 minims
of aseptolin, accompanied with throat
spraying with iodofornf and ether.
Thus in all directions siege is laid to
this greatest enemy of life, and sue
cesses achieved in other fields and
progress made in this fill humanity
with the cheering hope that even this
heretofore invulnerable disease will
yield to the assaults of the warriors
of science.

THE SPRAGUE-SNIITH LECTURES

b. The art lecture with stereopticon at
tachment is a device capable of such
great and such varied abuse that to
find it at its best, used skillfully as a
vehicle for the real Interpretation of an
artist to the audience, is an apochry-
phal kind of event whose occurrence
the sceptical are to be pardoned for
ldoubting. No one, however, who has
heard any Of the course Of lectures on
the painters OF Barbizon, now being
delivered by Prof. Charles Sprague-
Smith, will doubt hereafter the capa-
biiities Of the stereopticon lecture to
give pleasure of the highest kind.
There is as wide a difference between
Prof. Sprague- Smiths method and that
Of the average lecturer with stere-
4eptieon as there is between the tech.
tnique of IAN artist and a sign painter
His system is synthetic. His lectures
are in themselves such vivid andzsym-
pathetic appreciations of the paint
ers who are their subjects that illustra-
tions could almost be dispensed with;
but by carefully co-ordinated ar
rangement of views Of the man him
self, his environment and his work,
taken in connection with an account
Of his life and an estimate of his
achievement, the lecturer succeeds in
producing an entity.
~ The subject Of his lecture
lives before the audience as man
and as artist. The speaker is
not content with telling the audience
what to think about Corot; he makes
them feel Corot-a very different and
much more difficult feat. To acquire
from the works of the painter himself
the same impression as vividly is the
work of time and travel, and is not
possible to all art-lovers. This power
of capturing the elusive soul of an
artists work and reproducing his very
atmosphere by means of few words
and some lantern slides is a magic Of
persuasion as delightful as it is un-
usual and the opportunity for such
beguilement should not be neglected
by any art-lover of ST. Paul.
