were unable to assist us in this effort,
owing to hard times and lack of means.
AS these debts are urgent on account OF
their long standing, our members re-
Quested that we make another effort on

money collected has been placed in bank

meet the debt, which we hope to do on

They have sympathized with us and ma

them our sincere thanks. Those who

rnprLIsM ON rHE nENcH.

II correctly reported in an interview,
Judge Louis Myers, of the Jefferson county
district court, in Kansas, will refuse TO
recognize the order Of United States Dis
trlct Judge c. G. Foster, removing the
Santa Fe receivership case from the state
TO tho federal court. Just how Judge My
ers proposes to estop the United States
authorities from setting aside his receiver
and assuming charge of the litigation Is
not 80 clear, but that is not the point
which his interview has most prominently
suggested.
II has been charged by the Santa Fe
officials that the suit brought in Judge
Myers court was part Of a conspiracy to
bear the stock markets and yield huge
profit to the spectators who sold Santa
Fe stock shors. Whether or not this
charge can bo sustained. 1t has been made
In a specific manner and 1t would seem
on the face OF things that Judge Myers,
of all persor4, ought to be the first TO help
along any investigation which would re-
Ifeye his court of connection with stock
gambling operation. 1t has not been
charged that Judge Myers was cognizant
OF the conspiracy DA~ IL tNt4 Su4piSloi
should arise that he had lent his judicial
position knowingly to such a scheme II
could be traced unerrIngly to the strange
persistency with which he cIlngs TO juris-
diction over the case.
1t is part of judicial ethics for a Judge
not to try 4 case wherein one party to
the suit believes he is prejudiced. AS q
rule, upright judges grant a change OF
venue whenever it is shown in legal form
that either party is dissatisfied with the
presiding officer. The Santa Fe appear,
to have simply exercised its legitimate
prerogatiye in seeking a change from the
state TO the federal courts. and Judge My
ers is rejecting no glory upon himself
either through his action in the premise!
| or in his newspaper interviews; but. beint
Populist possibly all the glory he wishes
is that which he secures through unjustly
! harasslng a railroad company.

REsrLTs OF ANTI-ToxIN.

Recent reports upon the use Of anti
toxin in diphtheria seem fully TO justify
the high hopes entertained for this prep
aration when its discovery was announced
some months ago. When II was first in
troduced to the medical profession there
were numerous failures, many OF which
were attributable to the use Of anti-toxin
improperly prepared, and others to want
Of care IN its administration. Recently
more than 6,020 cases Of dlphtheria which
came under the observation Of 600 physi-
clans in the United States and Canada
have been brought together and published
and the results make an excellent show
ing IN favor Of the new remedy. Practically
all OF these physicians favor the use OF
anti-toxin in the treatment of this terrible
disease. OF the large number Of cases re-
ported I.4C3 were in Chicago In lc6 OF
these cases. where the diagnosis showed
unn!stakably that diphtheria was present.
the antI-toxin was injected on the first
visit and every patient recovered. or 366
cases which were treated on the second
day there were FIVE deaths, and OF those
where the injection was deferred until the
third day-GO0 cases-only eighteen deaths
resulted. Taking the country at large, the
mortality in 4,12O cases amounted to less
than per cent. It is also claimed that
the dreaded membranous Group can also
be successfully treated. by the anti-toxin
method, at least half Of the usually fatal
cases being cured without the necessity OF
any surgical operation.
Diphtheria is one Of the greatest scourges
in the country; 1t is highly contagious and
its fatality is very great. In the year 1880
over 1900 people died of diphtheria in the
United States alone, and in some foreign
countries the yearly death rate is larger
stlI. The success of anti-toxin in mitigat-
ing this dread disease is only another
striking instance Of the many triumphs
of science in It's efforts 10 alleviate human
suffering.

From the Chicago Post.
That is a yellow covered tale which
comes from Cuba via the lips OF a COM
mercial traveller for a Chicago dynamite
house. 1t is to the effect that the Cubaus
have set a price on General WeyIer's head
and that ne will be captured or killed II
he gets near the insurEer5t lines.
But the best part AZ this story relates
to the engagement Of sixty Texan Euer-
riIlas armed with rifles "whch will carry
a ball five milcs''-We presume when the
Texas ranger carries the rife five-sixths
OF the distance. These marvelously
equipped marksmen are on the outlook
all the time for Spanish officers. As the
rifles are provided with wind gauges and
telescope sights ana wei@h twentv-eight
pounds they are toted into action by the
Iustv natives while the Iord'y Texans scan

Now We know why General weyler has

the treetops five miles away are peopled
with Texans drawing $500 beads on his

No wonder he accepts the reports OF his
recall and death with equal equaniuity.

OF Chicago uttered the following pertinent
and suggestive sentences:
zone of the great lessons that comes
TO US is that as all the urgent and critical
questions Of life are moral questions. the
first essential for their solution is a deyel-
oped and strengthened moral sense.
Moral questions are never settled until
they are settled right A minority, that
is right can never be voted into silence
by a majority that is wrong.
There are those who look with dread
to the coming into the political arena Of
questions which concern the relation OF
the rich and the poor. the employers and
the employees. And these questions mere
majorities will settle only when majorities
are right.
