sannreIIi,s serum.

The Times-Herald of Chicago, in a lead
ing editorial on yellow jack" says: The
announcement that DR.. Sanareln, an Ital-
ian bacterologist, who is said to have dis
covered the bacterium of yellow fever has
invented a serum by which human beings
can be rendered immune from the disease,
is interesting at this time"
Yes, the announcement Is interesting at
this time. Ii would be interesting at any
time but what is vastly more important
is whether the serum possesses any vir-
tue. VIII 1t protect person against the
disease?
We are not prepared. of course, to an
swer that question, but we have an opin-
ion respecting Dr. Sanarellrs yellow fever
serum. II is that 1t will prove to be about
as valuable as DR.. Kochs consumption
cure or DR.. Brown-sequard's elixir of
life. These remedies were heralded abroad
when the announcement of their discovery
was made, as something bordering on the
marvellous, but little or nothing is heard
of them nowadays. II we remember rightly
a physician of some eminence in Rio ia
metro announced several years ago that
he had discovered a remedy that rendered
yellow fever as harmless as an ordinary
headache, and 1t is probable that he was
very sincere, but he was mistaken. There
have been various sure cures and prophy-
Tactics for yellow fever. but no one of them
has stood the test
We do not mean to be understood as
saying that no specific for yellow fever
is likely to be discovered. On the con-
trary, we think there will be. The in
vestgatlon into the cause of diseases is
now so searching that it is probable that
the cause of yellow fever will be found.
When that is accomplished the discovery
Of a satisfactory remedy for 1t will doubt
less follow very quickly. We should be
very glad II DIR. Sanarelis serum were
what it is claimed to be, but we are in
clined to think that those who put faith
in it viii be disappointed.

1t is related Of Fanny Kemble that she
carried the tragic air of the stage into
everyday affairs. says the Boston Journal.
While in Boston she stopped at the Ire
mont house, and was accustomed to dine
in her rooms at ) o. clock. On one occasion
the waiter brought her dinner ten min
utes too soon, and she made him take it
away until the hour had struck. On anoth-
er occa sion she gave the servant some
clothes for the laundry.
When can these be returned TO me,
washed and ironed?"
The day after tomorrow, madam, at
noon-time."
BE il So" was the dramatic reply, "at
z on Wednesday,"
But on the hour appointed the clothes
had not been returned, and at ten minutes
past noon a servant stood before her in re-
Spouse to the short summons of the bell.
My clothes that We're to be returned at
u to-day-bring them
But, madam, we have not been able to
get them ready, owing to a difficulty in the
Bring them now-they were promised
to-day"
81 know it, madam, but they are not
ready"
1T matters not to me; bring them just
as they are"
The servant went out, and a few mo-
ments later two men entered, bearing the
clothes in a tub full of soapsuds and wet
Clothes set them on the floor and went
out.

Honeful outIook for cubn.

There is a vast amount Of speculation as
to what SPANS purposes IN respect to Cuba
are. As TO whether this speculation rest
upon solid foundation or not, no one not
IN the confidence Of the governments Of
Spain and the United States knows.
The Herald says 1t has information Of
reliable character to the effect that our
government requested a reply by Oct. .
from the Spanish government, as to whetn-
er 1t would accept the good offices Of the
United States In bringing about peace In
Cuba, and that when the reply comes. It
will express a Willingness to recognize the
independence Of Cuba on the condition that
cuba viii pay Spain 100000.
1t is alleged that Spain has been forced
to this position by her bondholders and the
ecclesiastical authorities. The bondhold-
ers have become alarmed respecting
SPANS ability to pay the interest on her
debt Hence they don't want any more
bonds issued. The ecclesiastical authori-
ties have been satisfied for sometime that
Spain cannot re-establish her authority in
Cuba. Believing it would be wrong 70
waste any more lives in Cuba, they have
% put an end 10 the war.
There may be some truth in this state
ment Of the case. If there is Senior Sagas-
tas' reply to Minister Woodford may not
be delayed longer than Oct. %. But, as
already stated, all of this talk Is specula-
tive. The fact that fresh troops are being
sent to Cuba from Spain would seem to in
dictate that the Spanish government In
stead Of preparing to lose Cuba, is arrang-
ing to carry on a more vigorous campaign
than any previous one.
It is to be hoped that the report that
Spain is considering the ACCESSIBILITY of
granting independence to Cuba is true. Tn
less Spain has the means of carrying on
the war vigorously, with a fair prospect Of
success, it would be folly to sacrifice any
more lives in trying to conquer the insur-
gents.

In the Matter of Public highway.

The taxpayers who live or own property
on the toll roads are stil paying two tax
assessments. one to the county and an
other to the owners of the roads: and this
is in the face Of the fact that the toll roads
could be made free for an expenditure of
$1,000 on the part of the county. 1t NAV
be threshing over old straw to repeat
the arguments in favor Of buying the toll
roads, but that is the only way by which
the people can be educated to the point of
demanding that what is right In the mat
ter shall be done.
Every day that the acquisition of the
toll roads by the county is delayed means
just so much more money out of the
pockets Of the taxpayers; and not only
the taxpayers who live or own property
on such roads, but all others who have to
travel over the roads for the purpose of
transacting business in sections of the
county which are to be reached only by
way of The roads which are private prop
erty.
The county commissioners have ordered
the building or two new roads, the one to
Thunderbolt and the other from the White
This latter is a part of the scheme for the
improvement of the now noted Buckhal-
ter section. The probable cost of this road
is as much unknown, or as indefinite as
the cost of the construction of the Buck
halter canal. but the cost of the Thun-
derbolt road is estimated at approximate
ly $4,000.
The county commissioners should give
the wants of the people their attention,
and secure to them the benefits to be de-
rived from the opening up of the old
roads, which are in constant use and
along which tho lands have been developed
and pay into the county treasury large
sums of money, instead OF spending money
for the building of new roads in sections
where little taxes are paid and only a few
people live. The board of county COM
missioners is just as much in the wrong
in this matter of road building as 1t was
In the matter of drainage around the city,
and from which erroneous position a
change was made in response to public
opinion.

A warming to Girls.

Mr.. Evans, the commissioner of PEN
slons announces that he is going to get
congress to put a stop to the pfesent OPP
portuhlties which the law offers to women
to secure pensions for life from the Unit
ed States by marrying old soldiers" The
women who marry the old fellows are
generally young girls. The law gives them
the pensions of their husbands when they
become widows. The amount they get is
not very large, but 1t is an attraction to
which a very great many of them yield.
1t is said they even go to the soldiers
homes and marry decrepit old fellows,
hoping that death will soon relieve them
of the husbands secured in this way. 1t
often happens they do not live with the
men they marry, but they are on hand
to claim their pensions when their soldier
husbands have answered the last roll call.
What was the purpose of congress in
making 1t possible for the pension burden
to be continued for many years in this
way? Was the legislation intentional or
was 1t the result of carelessness? There
are thousands of young widows now draw
ing pensions who were not born at the
outbreak of the war, and unless there is
such legislation as Commissioner Evans
suggests the government will be paying
pensions to thousands Of widows more
than half a century hence. There are wild
ows of revolutionary soldiers on the pen
sion rolls now. OF a number of evils con-
nected with the pension business, this
widow evil is one of the worst

According to our, dispatches, a Florida
murderer is in the insane asylum, chuck
ling over his great stroke of diplomacy in
escaping the gallows through the insanity
plea. Not only has he escaped the penalty
of the law, but is actually living at the
expense of the state whose peace and dig
nifty he has violated. The insanity plea
is an old dodge with criminals, but 1t
seems to be about as successfully employ
ed now as ever before; and there appears
to be no remedy for the condition. The
only thing that can be done. 1t seems. is
to insist that when such pleas are made
the state shall have some of the benefit Of
the doubt as well as the accused.

CoIumbia's Negro Cotton Mill.

The proposed negro cotton mill in this

than 1t is at home. Despite the favorable
reports which are made as to its financing
we still have our doubts of it's establish
ment but no doubts at all that IL il should
be established it would pass into the con-
troll of its bondholders. Bonds, we see.
are TO be issued to the amount of the cap
ltal stock, and the capital stock Is to be
paid by very poor colored people in install
ments running over a period of years
They win not be able to keep up their pay
ments, and then the northern bondholders
will take the property after making a
breach in the ranks of white mill labor
which may be worth much to them.

Color Line In Canada.

There are left over in Toronto from the

negroes and their descendants. 1t is an
interesting admission made by the Mail

ronto are very apt to leave for the states
because the color line is drawn so sharply
against them in Canada. After all that

should be required to pay the cost them
selves.
