THE PENDING vIvIsECTION BILL.

To tho Editor of The Tribune.
Sir The Trbune's ideal Of accuracy Is so high
and I speak from acquaintance or nearly forty
years-that am greatly surprised at the state
ment which recently appeared In your columns re-
garding so-caled antivvisection legislation for the
District Of Columbia: THE law which scientific men
fear most. however. Is now pending before Con Con
gress II prohibits vivisection altogether" This
statement appears TO have been made TO repre-
sentative of The Tribune by one competent to
sneak on the subject" 7 question seriously his
competency for the statement quoted Is incorrect:
So far from prohibiting vivisecton altogether,
the bill permits first. All painless experiments OF
any kind: second. incubation experiments. such as
have resulted in the discovery OF antioxins; third
tests of surgical procedure. even though they
must often involve a considerable degree or pain
nd fourth tests of drugs or medicines.
II does indeed. insist that painful experiments
shall not be performed in any public school, that
only qualified men shall have permission TO vivisect
m ~ reports OF experiments shall be made from
time to time and that laboratories shall he subject
TO Government inspection under the direction OF the
President Of the United States. PHYSICIAN.

To tho Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Is II not public misfortune that the prob
abilities Of Mr.. Hanna becoming Secretary Of the
Treasury diminished by the appoin tment of
Senator Sherman Secretary of State?
The great pressing National need Of the time
is not the settlement Of any question ~ statecraft

HUMAN LIFE AND BRUTE LIFE.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In reading the letter from the treasurer OF
the New-York Administration Society in to-day
Tribune I was struck very forcibly by the ques-
ton she asks. with the air Of one who puts
query supposed to constitute in Itself an unan-
swerabe argument: why should an innocent ami
NAL be made to suner for a surgeons criminal neg
lect?" Why, indeed? II that were all. But let us
carry the inquiry little further
Why should the innocent victim Of n surgeon s
incompeency neglect be left cripple for life
If there Is fair chance, or even A remote posi-
bility that by the sacrifice OF brute. whose life
Is intrinsicay worthless she be saved? And

outcome of the operation Is increased? ~

Grafton which human beings have as compared
with the brute creation. and this Is lesson when
the overzea ous guardians Of the rights OF animals
need to be reminded of very often.
II seems to require extraordinary watchfulness
and care on the part Of those who are Interested
in any line OF reform to avoid the danger OF be

MR. CLEwS's CURRENCY VIEWS.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The National Bank act certainly requires

Of the United States bonds given security there

ties where they would he serviceable in popularz-
ing the system. The agitation against the green
backs at the present time Is ill-advsed. especially
in connection with the feature proposed-to issue
bonds in their stead. That would be to convert a
non-interest- bearing obligation OF the Government
into that would tax the people about slO,5WW
annually for an indefinite period. Instead Of liqui-
dating the greenback currency as proposed. the
thing for the Government to do would he to make
Il permanently better money In public estimation
This can be done by increasing the Government
revenue so as TO make II a surplus instead OF
deficit As il is. this unfortunate condition has
inspired the feeling with many that greenbacks
must be got rid of at any cost. II Congress VIII
provide ample revenue for the Government. and
pass an act debarring the reissue of greenbacks
after they have once been presented at the Treas
ury and gold dema nded therefor. excepting In ex
change for gold greenbacks would then be re-
garded all over the world as good as gold The
notes that the Government should take up are

safely absorb the silver. This should be limited to
about $25 10000 per annum; and the Bland notes
should later on be treated In similar way. but
on A little larger scale. If the greenbacks are TO

Dosed what will the National banks have to hold

SENATOR SHERMAN AND CUBA.
HE NEVER TOLD MR.. OLNEY THAT NO AC-
TON SHOULD BE TAKEN AT THIS

Washington. Jan. Elm the Senate to-day Mr.
Turpie Dem. Ind) gave notice that he would
on Monday next move to take up Senator Cam

Congress Of the United States OF the Republic OF
Cuba. and would then submit some remarks on
the subject. He spoke Of Secretary Olney's re-
cent criticism Of the power OF Congress In the mat
ter OF recognition OF governments. and said that
there was nothing at that time before the Sec
rotary of State which would Justify such inter-
meddling his part 1t obiter dictum Of the
crudest kind. 1t reminded him Of that school.

whipped his pupils gently"
Mr.. Turpe then went on to speak Of news

ing the press having become the messenger be-

the effect that there had been compact entered in
to between the Secretary Of State and the future
Premier Of the Administration In regard to
the same subject. with the intimation that there
should be action In Congress the subject Of

that he had referred to newspaper account OF

that there is not the slightest foundation for such
statements ] have had no conversation with Mr..
Olney on the subject. I certainly would not have
a conversation with him respecting n subject pend

information from the Department II State There
has been conversation at all between us on the

Sherman sat down. that | am bound to take the
statement Of the Senator from Ohio will say
glad hear II; very glad to hear that there has

say that some action here Is not necessary or that
next Monday is inopportune time TO discuss the

TO MAKE UNIFORMS ~ PRISON.

THE NATIONAL GUARD.
Albany Jan. % (SpecaD-It Is reported here to-
nigh, that the State Prison Commission will rec
ommend that some OF the idle prisoners be en-
ployed in making uniforms for the National Guard.
Between 900 and 5000 uniforms purchased

the cost OF these uniforms and their accompani-

the tailors and clothing makers are already IN

BRINGING CLIMATE TO THE PATIENT

BRINGING CLIMATE TO THE PATIENT
A TREATMENT FOR CONSUMPTION THAT oBvI-
ATEs A CHANGE OF RESIDENCE
To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: recent writer in THE Hartford Courant"
calls attention to the apparent feasibility of bring
Ing climatic conditions to the patient. especially
to the consumptive. rather than sending the sick
one on tedious journey In the vain hope Of ind
ing a natural climate that shall be at once favor
able and constant. The suggestion Is certainly OF
interest and. with our present rapid advance In
science and Industrial achievement II should be
capable OF realization.
II Is pointed out that the advantage derived from
living at high attitudes may be due to the small
amount OF solid matter suspended in the air In
those regions. and that the less moisture the air
contains. the less solid matter. bacilli etc. would
naturally be suspended therein. Attention Is also
called to the cleansing effect OF peroxide Of hydro
gen. which, Of course. is nothing but water with
extra proportion Of oxygen. The plan sug-
gested is In effect. TO rst rob the air of Its i'm
purities. and especially Of its moisture. and re-
moisten II with peroxide OF hydrogen perhaps.
stances.
II seems reasonable to suppose that. when the
conditions favorable to the cure OF consumption
once ascertained. hey best be secured
artifcally. In this mechanical age. when even
the hidden powers OF former times brought
forth and made subservent to every need. we
ought to be able to make and maintain where and
when needed, such conditions as are required for
the cure. not only Of consumption. but OF diseases
generally. rather than to send the declining patient
far from home and subject him to the vicissitudes
Of travel and to untoward environment.
