FAITH IN SALISBURY,


Georgetown. British Guiana. Dec. 81.
President cleveland's special message
relative to the boundary dispute is the
topic of conversation in every circle and
the situation Is considered critical.
General confidence is expressed i'm the
StatesmanshiD Of Lord Salisbury but
on the other hand there are Indications
that the question of right of possession
of the contested territory. even to the
Schomburgk line. is Il matter for doubt.
OF course the proposal to arhitrate
within the SchOmhurgli line Is not re-
ccived with favor. but it is just possible
that the recent utteranceS Of the ad-
mnistraiion Of British Guiana have
more to do with this than anything else
The British legislature is now on va
cation and the local government Off
cials are more than usually reticent up
on this question.

Consumption is the great scourge
1y victims by thousands and thou
sands; it is the cause of fully one fifth
of all deaths, and any announcement
Of an effective remedy is watched
with the closest interest.
The Medical Record has announced
the complete success of a remedy for
tuberculosis, discovered by DR.. Cyrus
Edison of New York, and tested and
experimental with by score of the
best physicians in and about New
York. The treatment consists of hy-
podermic injections Of a new remedy
called aseptolin, the formula for
which has been made public.
Two hundred and eighteen cases
have been formally reported upon by
physicians, besides those treated by
Dr. Edison himself. Twenty three of
these patti ents have been discharged
cured. Sixty eight are SO far along
toward complete recovery that the
attending physicians announce be-
lief in the certainty of cure. Ninety
one show marked improvement, but
have not yet been under treatment
long enough for the doctors to feel
positive of coming recovery. Three
have resisted the remedy entirely.
One died under treatment:
The above has been floating about
in the press and the thousands who
read it will hope and pray that
"curen for this terrible disease has
been discovered. Whether this is
the cure hoped for or not, time alone
will tell; but it seems probable that
ere long something will be discovered
which will destroy the miniature
creatures which find lodging places
and homes in the fine tissues of the
lungs. There has never been time
when the attention of the scientific
and the experimenting world was &C
complishing SO much in the things of
hygiene, surgery, and medicine as
now. 1t is to be devoutly hoped that
this thing or something else will soon
be discovered to stop the dread dis
ease consumption.

The question of removing the choice
of United States senators from the
state Legislatures and giving it di-
rectly to the people, is likely to at
tract increasing attention. Under the
present practice there is almost all
the time vacancy or vacancies some
where, and deadlock" or two, only
to be unlocked, it is to be feared, with
a golden key. Meantime, instead of
making so radical a change, and
throwing away the advantages, some
of them claimed for the prevailing
method, why not try the experiment
of making senator once elected for
six years, "hold over'' after the ex-
piration of that term till his successor
is elected and qualified? In that way
there would be no vacancies, nor any
state without full representation, ex-
cept in case of death.
