ARour INCORPORATION.

The following article which appeared
in a recent issue of the New York
World, will be read with interest by the
people of Tucson and it is suggested
that like action be taken by the city
council here:
The board of health yesterday made
public a report Of DR.. Herman, Ut.
Biggs. pathological, and DR.. L. Mitchell
Prudden, Consulting pathologlst OF the
health department, on the subject OF
expectoration ip public Buildings and
conveyRnces. The board will take &C.
ton on the report Tuesday. The re-
port in part reade: =,
at has been for q long time we'll
known that the expectorgtlon OF per-
sons suffering from laryngeal or pull
monsry tuberculosis, pneumonia, lrnu-
epza or the grip, and from diphtherla,
contains the specific germs OF these dr.
ferent diseases and is capable OF induc-
ing these diseases in others.
There Is, furthermore, much evld-
6ence that a similar condition exists IN
certain more readily communicate
diseases, such scarlet fever, measles
and whooping cough.
the danger from expectoTation In pub
lie places is of course small. as the pa
tents are ordinarily confired to their
homes during the infectious period.
But this is not universally the case. IL
has long since been shown that tie
chief meaps for the TRANSMISSION oil con-
Sumption is the dried and pulverlzed
sputum of persons sufferiug from this
disease.
"Thess germs sre liable to be gather
ed on the feet and on the skirts OF wo-
men," the report Gays: "and taken In
to private houses, where the most per
feet ventilation will not etsy their evil
effect.
"Expectoration N public places" the
report adds, should be aba'ed. as is any
other public nuisance which is brought
to the attention OF this department.
This it is habit and not a necessity, is
clearly shown by the large numbers OF
men who are free foom it and the lnsig-
nific8nt portion Of women who practice
it.
There seems to be no good reason
for the longer sCffer8nce by the mass
of people OF the careleesnees and the
negligence of the few. We believe that
this is matter of great importance, and
that on this ground alone it demands
the interference of your board.
1--WE believe that the time has now
arrived when the people OF the city of
New York will heRrthlly support the
adoption of such Sanitary measures as
may seem necessary and expedient for
the abatement OF this widespread nuis
spca and source of danger"
The doctors recommend that notices
be posted in all public places and in all
surface and elevated cars in that city
signed by the board of health, warning
passengers against expectorstion upon the
floor of those conveyances; and further,
that similar notices be posted in the
stations of the elevated roads warning
people against expectoratlon upon the
platforms and stair, or on the floors of
the station.

A LONDON newspaper, save the Amer
lean, suggests that the term lady msy
soon become one Of opprobrium as re-
suit of the reaction against the indis-
criminate use of the word. In fact, the
little word of four letters seems to be
causing no end of trouble at home and
uoraHi--frise question whether female
claiming to be "lady" was hbeled by
being called woman has been decided
by British judge and jury in the neg
ative. The word is farther complicated
by statements in the Ell Paso papers to
the effect that large number Of Ga
dies" will witness the big elugging match
between Fitzsimmons and Maher. We
presume it is case Of pay your money
and take your choice.

Diminution

This represents an average reduc-
ton of 65 per cent in the death rate
from diphtheria."
Commenting on the above figures the
Times-Democrat Of New Orleans says
This official statement is unique,
and is Of fer more consequence than
any statement of the kind which has
ever heretofore been issued. No coun-
try, SO far as we know, has published
statistics covering such wide area az
les principal cities; nor, indeed, has any
country obtained such magnificent re-
suits from the general use of the anti
toxin as France ia shown in this table
to have obtained.
The one weak point about the table
is that &c only furnishes results Of the
use of the anti toxin for six months
the first half of 1895, when the anti
toxin had come into general use. A
statement covering the whole of the
year 1895 will doubtless, however, soon
be published; and then We shall see
whether the magnificent results for the
first six months Of that year have been
maintained during the whole year.
''In the meantime it is nothing short
Of surprising to find that the number of
deaths from diphtheria in these los
cities, which on the average for January
during the previous six years had been
469, fell In January, 1895, to 205; that
the six years February average of 466
deaths fell to lS7, the March average OF
400 deaths fell to 155, the April average
of 442 fell to loo, the May average of
All to 1l3, and that the June averages
Of 333 took the extraordinary tumble
from 333 to 81. The average reduction
therefore, of the deaths from diphtheria
in those 10S big cities of France during
the first half of 1895 as compared with
the first half Of SIX previous years was a
reduction of of 90 per cent; which ex-
pressed otherwise means that not nearly
one-half IS many people died of the
disease in France in the first six months
Of 1895-when the anti-toxin had come
to general use-as had died of it in the
first SIX months of previous years.
"Tbis is surely superb testimonial
to the efficacy of the snti-toxin, and es-
pecially to that form and quality OF it
man ufactured under the auspices of DIR.
RouX. 1t may be pertinent, Of course,
to object that net all OF this 60 per cent
reduction of mortality from dIphtheris |
is due to the use of the anti-toxin; and,
of course, the objection is we'll taken, as
the sanitation was greatly improved in /
the last named year. But, when full al |
lowance is made for all improvements in |
it will be hard to prove that |
at any rate 30 per cent reduction of the
morality from the disease was not due
directly and solely to the use of the |
serum. And even so per cent reduction
Of morality from disease is a tribute
hat perhaps only one other drug or pre-
oaratlon besides anti-toxin has ever
been able to claim"

THE PRECIOUS METALS.

Professor James Bryce, says the San
Francisco Bulletin, is known the world
over as the author of the best book on
the United States that had been writ
ten by an observer from foreign coun-
try. Whether Mr.. Bryce css see as far
into the ground as he can into conattu-
ton and laws will be demonstrated in q
few centuries. The professor has just
returned from survey OF the gold fields
of the Transvaal country aud has esti-
mated their ultimate yiel6Iat g 300, 000,-
OO0 Less extravaganza estimates of the
yield of silver in the Comstock were
made early in the seventies, when a
reason for the characterization of silver
was much wanted. Now the great and
long felt want is an amount of gold that
will make good the amount of oliver de-
monetized. Mr.. Bryce has hit the mark
pretty we'll in the center. The silver
demonetized is computed at about S.
5OO,000,0O0 We have stock of gold IN
the ground that will replace this demon
etized silver. 1t will be remembered,
however, that estimates in regard to the
contents OF the Comstock vein were not
realized. When a man measures in his
minds eye the dimensions of a lode ss
to length and width, assumes that it
continues certain number Of thousand
feet into the earth and multiplies each
cubic foot by the amount of gold and
silver that has been taken out a cubic
foot already converted into gold or sill
yer, be is apt to make mistakes in his
calculations. During several centuries
the earth has parted with the precious
metals with q wonderful observance Of
their relation to base metals. Neither |
gold nor silver has been found in guam |
titles to greatly disturb their value in |
relation 10 other metale. TT gold we're |
as plentiful as coal or iron it would not |
have a much greater value than these |
base metals. 1t may be however, that
nature has made up its mind to sus-
pend the rules and in a few years double |
the stock OF gold man has been several |
centuries in accommodating.

The New York Mail and Express is
undoubtedly one of the very best family
papers published. 1t has in addition to
its telegraphic reports which cover all
parts of the world that can be reached
by wire, an immense fund of informa-
ton. 1t has a department for almost
everything of interest, science, litera-
ture, art, woman, music, sporting, fash
ions, finalce, social gossip and hundred
other things OF geoersl and special inter
est to its readers. The Mail and Ex-
press is great paper and is favorite in
every home where found. The CITIZEN
takes pleasure in commencing it to the
attention OF those in need of q good

GOVERNOR MORTON'S CANDI-
DACY.

The CITIZEN is in receipt of ''lesflet
of extracts" from the leading papers in
the United States endorsing Governor
Morton's nomination for the presidency.
We are by circular letter invited to make
such extracts therefrom as we may deem
proper for Our valuable journal" We
therefore give the following figures
from the IthIcs Journal which, if be re-
ceives them, will surely land him in the
White House, A republican nomina-
ton is almost equivalent to an election.
Other candidates, however, have yet to
be heard from.
A glance over the country furnishes
most attractive prospect for the Morton
boom. Here are the states and votes
which, it is thought, will surely be be.

EFFICACY OF ANTI-TOXIN
SERUM.

The Times has been handed by City
Health Officer White, an extract from
letter written by the authorized rep
resentative in the United States Of
tbs Pssteur Institute of Paris, contain
ing information relative to the efficacy
of the snti-t toxin serum, that is certainly
interesting. Here is the extract:
"Mr. Henry Monod, director of the
bureau of public assistance and hygiene,
has presented to the French minister of
the Interior the following statistics show
ing the reduction in the death rate from
dlphtheria by the uss of anti-diphtheris
serum in the 10S principal towns of
France:

IT appears from an interview with
Mr.. Brewster Cameron, in another col
unn, that the great prosperity OF the
Arkansas Pass enterprise is largely due
to the liberal and progressive spirit Of
the officers of the San Antonio & Aran-
sas Pass railroad. 1t embraces 66S
miles and connects the port of Arkansas
Pass with San Antonio, Houston and
Waco, three of the chief cities of the
state. Under its present broad gusge
policy, this road will soon take first
place among the profitable trunk lines
of the southwest.

MCKINLEY FOR SILVER TO-DAY.

The New York hail and Express has
the following kindly words to say OF
Governor Mckinley.
To Private Citizen Mckinley, of Can
ton, Ohio, who is today, with his es!l-
mable and accomplished wife, celeb-at-
ing silver wedding in the same modest
house in which they commenced houses
keeping quarter century ago, our con-
gratulstions and good wishes. From the
point OF view Of the man whose god is
Mammon, Major McKinley's career has
been an awful failure. McKinley's heart
and hands are too open, his sense OF per-
sonsl honor toe exalted, his devotion to
his friends too confiding, 20 permit him
to enter upon the second quarter of his
married life with any more of this
worlds goods than he had at the start.
But the ex-governor has accumulated
that which he would not exchange for
the wealth of the Indies and the Rand.
He "hath honor, love. obedience, troops
os Friends" He has neglected his per
sonal interests, but the interests OF the
nation and of the people have been dill
gently served. He has sacrificed his
estate to save the honor Of a friend, and
has twice waved aside a presidential
nomination which might have been his
because be felt honorably bound to Sc
cure the nomination of another. Yet
there are possessions more valuable than
houses and money and lands, or than the
highest Office in the gift OF the people
unworthily secured, and in those cure
possessions William Mckinley is wealth
Ter than a score If Brices. Whatever the
future has in store for him, the past is
secure, and ia it there is nothing but
should add to the happiness and peace
full content Of the Mckinley couple to-
day.

IT is said that new cabinet officer is
possible, but barely probable, as con-
gress is said to be averse to having an
increase in the presidential family. The
field of labor mapped out for the new
officer is department OF Manufactures

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31-When the sem

had the right of way.
Allen, Of Nebraska, called attention
to the absence OF quorum. This nee
essitated roll call which brought sem
ators from the committee and cloak
rooms and disclosed forty-six senators
present, one more than quorum.
Villas then addressed the senate in
opposition to the bill, which be said
deserved its fate-strangied by silver
and in denuncistion of the mine owners
of the Rockies, WHOM. he declared were
responsible for the agitation in favor OF
free coinage.
The senate has agreed to vote on the
