RENEWED HOPE FOR THE BLIND.
Foreign Physician Relieves a Trouble
Hitherto Believed lncurable.

4 very important discovery mads by
Dr. r. Duetschmann, of Hamburg, is
Just now much spoken OF by physi-
clans, particularly by specialists on
the eye which but a short time ago
was considered absolutely incurable,
the so-called detaching or peeling OF
the retina, which sometimes follows
a case of retinitis. This disease con-
sists in the shrinkage OF the aqueous
humor, a watery, slightly salty MUD
which lies between the cornea and the
crystalline lens, with the greater part
of it's substance in front of the iris. II
the quantity of this fluid is lessened
to a certain extent the eyesight is alb
solutely destroyed and the physician
can do nothing but pronounce the dis
ease incurable. Now Professor
Duetschmann has succeeded in intro
ducing into the diseased eye a sufiic-
lent amount of the aqueous humor
taken from a live rabbits eye to re-
store the lost sight. Several cases
where this most delicate operation
was successfully performed are on rec
ord, the ore of a purser on one of the
steamers of the neutrality-suspicious.
line being most interesting. This man,
totally blind three years ago, was able
to resume his former occupation after
undergoing the operation just de-
scribed, and his sight is now as good
as at any time in his life.

a impression among Republicans
(and one which Is shared alike by those
who are certain to obtain office and those
who are certain not to- is that there lies
inthe path OF Hon Mark Hanna the oppor-
tunity Of his life For the Republicans,
generally speaking, while they grow glad
in the face at the thought Of their sue
Casses, grow sad the face at the thought
oftheir responsibilities. Thev have prom
ised prosperity; and they are asking them
selves how they shall make it come. Shall
they Try to do something for silver? or,
II that is not deemed worth while, or If
tie dominating party influences prevent
the serious consideration Of such trivial
matter, what shah they do about the tariff?
And when shauthey do it? And also just
how shah they do it?
Our guess would be that they will seek
the salvation of their promised prosperity
In tariff revision. Still, it s possibly
question, largely for Mr. Hanna to decide.
He enjoys the special authority of Presi-
dents friend and Senatorial mentor He
has been called President 5 manager, and
perhaps he win nat urally fall into the post
Of manager TO a Senate. At al events.
great things are expected of him. There
is the promise Of the Republican platform
that bimetanism shall be striven for, but
that promise doesn't go, and itcan be passed
over Il a word. Yet if the new tariff
bill should prove a failure df, in other
words, it should not bring prosperity within
twoyearsafterits passage, say, Mr.. Hanna
and his fellows might turn to bimetallism
again; and hence it might not be waste
OF time for them Immediately to consider
the advisabilty of planning for it.
UnuI the new tariff has had fair trial,
however, it is doubtless too much to ex-
pect any other legislation or any attempt
TO secure 1t. The burden of starting the
mills without a market for the goods,
therefore, would seem to be upon the new
Mckinley tariff solely. And If the mills
are started, and jobbers job the goods, and
retailers retail them, that would imply a
certain amount of transportation and gen.
eral commerce that would surely be pleas
ant for business men everywhere to con-
template. Naturally, the question arises,

The New Era.

We need not repeat the expression
chat the Inauguration Of President Nc
Kinley marks the opening Of new era
in American history. That conclusion
could not be avoided, even If we had
little to expect in the way OF national
prosperity, or a return to the ways OF
constitutional government, at the hands
of the new administration. But we and
all American citizens have a right to
hope ana believe that radical change
from things past now impends, and that
cred the nations face with shame are at
an end.
It is a satisfaction to note that man
of President McKnley's personal sense
and ability. realizing as he must the
popular effect which golden promises
made in his behalf must exert, can come
before US IN the full confidence he evinces
that the purposes and policies to which
he and his party are committed win be
found adequate to the restoration OF bust
ness activity, peace and plenty. 1t is
great task which he essays, and if he
and his advisers shah show themselves
equal 10 its accomplishment then there
is not a doubt that the whole nation will
accord him and them all due credit,
praise and confidence.
on a few matters which have been and
still are much in the public mind we wish
to believe that lie Will soon favor the people
with unmistakable utterances. AS TO the
most important, the protection of American
citizens in Cuba and all other foreign
places, it is probable that he will offer an
early object lesson more instructive and
forcible than words could be. The ques
ton of Hawaiian annexation is another
subject in the same category, and the
Nicaragua Canal is still another.
We are not inclined to be unduly i'm
patient OF at all capticus IN these and other
similar connections. trusting that a good,
honest. loyal American voice will speak
from the White House as soon as may be.
In the meantime, we beg to offer the new
President of the United states our hearty
good will and respect both personally and
officially.

which proves fraud upon the face of 1t.
1t may be well for this brand new
Republican administration, which natur-
ally enough, seeks a reelection more than
anything else, to consider whether the
policies advocated and fought for by over
six million and a half of thoughtful Ameri-
can citizens may not help them into a
real popularity. But whether it should
prove as conSiderate and wise as that or
rot, Mr.. Bryan may entertain a great and
an honest pride that he did so grandl y, and
is so generally and Loyalty remembered.
1t can hardly be true that a country like
this, with possibly the most serious pSoblem
of its history confronting it, should be
through with him entirely.

FOUR FAIL TO BECOME LAWS

The sundry civil, the Indian and the
agricultural bills reached the White
House SO late that Mr. Cleveland was IN
..,e 10 give them that close scrutiny upon
which he insisted. He therefore refuse /
to sign any OF them. The general deficiency
bill failed TO reach him, owing to the fail
ure OF the conferees to reach au agree
ncnt. This is the record breaker in the
history of the government The agrlcul-
tural bill was sent to the President on
February 20. while the others only reached
him during the late hours OF the session
The refusal OF the President To ap-
prove OF these bills compels il more
thorough organization OF the House OF
Representatives than was inte ndcd by
Speaker Reed Under the rules OF the
House. the Indian bill is considered by
the Indian Committee, and the agricultural
bill by the Agricultural ConluIttee or
the bills that failed only the SundTy
civil was reported by the Committee on
Appropriations. To,thiS extent the House
will have to be organized by the ap-
pointment OF committees more general in
their character than was intended by
Speaker Reed.
No new estimates VIII be needed, and
the bills will probably be rushed through
the House at the earliest possible mo-
ment. 1t is the intention Of the Rcpub-
liCan leaders to take the present esti-
mates and base their bills upon them,

There is plenty Of reason to believe that
Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, late deputy
Sheriff of Bloody Gulch county, Montana;
late conqueror of grizzlies, and later still
general manager of the New York pulice
force, is hot on the trail Of the Assistant
SeCretaryship Of the Navy. Warm personal
friends of Mr. Roosevelt, like Speaker
Reed and Senator Lodge are bringing his
accomplishments to the attention Of Mr..
Long, And doubtless, too, they are trying,
possibly in a somewhat roundabout way
tfor Speaker Reed, at least, is not supposed
to be on such cordial terms with the new
President that ne is beginning to ask for

better ranch expression, before Mr. Nc
kinney himself Mr.. Roosevelt has many
qualifications for Assistant Secretary Of
the Navy. He has stuck closely to his
desk, and has never gone to sea which
even in the doldrums is a hazardous pro-
ceeding. Mr., Roosevelt is also pugnaclous.
and If he were to think that war with
some foreign country were really coming
on. he would roll his sleeves up and whip
the whole crowd himself personally, and
rather enjoy doing it. Itis not claimed in
his behalf that he is familiar with the
science of constructing war vessels that
had better not be allowed to go to sen,
but that is nothing. He could write naval
stories for boys, and If the commodoTes
and the ensiGns, and especially if the
clerks of the department itself, were to

trade in the course OF the next four years,
he Will certainly look in vain. If he de-
sires civil service reform, he can hardly
expect to have much OF that, as there is
very little more Of it to be had. There
seems nothing for him 10 do, therefore,
but to stick to the Republican party for
good and all, because it is the single
gold standard party.
This leaves the mugwuInp in a most
unpleasant dilemma, however. If he
sticks TO the Republican party he will
not be able to influence it for good or
evil, especially for evil; and, since that
is the case, his occupation will be gone.
He will no longer be a divine remnant,

The Presidents Policy.

| The inaugural address of President Nc
Kinley is suggestive, rather than explicitly
| definitive; but it is a good speech of
| the sort, and If il means all that the
| language used ought to convey it is as
fairly encouraging as the policy of a
Republican President could make 1t.
Mr.. Mckinley starts out with the usual
and proper recognition of his high re-
| sponsiblities and then directs his atten-
[ tion to the currency question. He thinks
that 'our currency should continue under
| the supervision of the government, but
qualities this statement with the observa-
| tion that 1.-The several forms of our paper
money offer constant embarrassment To
| the government. He thinks it necessary to
| devise q system which shall not diminish
the circulating medium, etc. lie favorS a
! currency commission to revise the char
acter Of the representative circulating
medium. We are very much afraid that
all this points in the direction Of green
back retirement and a plan to generally
confine the exchanges OF the people to
| national bank notes; but this is not the
| time to discuss that or other points of
principle or policy.
president Mckinley speaks strongly in
support OF international bimetallism, which
he promises TO 10 everything in his power
to support; but that cannot amount TO
much by way of public encouragement in
the premises, because the condition rrece-
dent to International bimetallism ALWAYS
will be the consent OF those European DOW
ers which want it less than anything else
in the world
He refers to the necessity for public
economy, and suggests that outstanding
national obligations ought to be retired
instead OF increased. He calls attention
tothe demand for increa sed revenue: The
paramount duty OF Congress is to sion
deficiencies by the restoration of that
protective legislation which has always
been the firmest prop of the Treasury
~'-'-O+- S4 1A4C NeilliI suOuAu illCIQGe
the principle OF reciprocity.
Mr.. Mckinley congratulates the reopJe
OF the United States upon the results of
the late election, and refers to the his
tory and declarations OF his party against
trusts and monopoIies Upon the subject
OF immigration he is strongly In favor
OF shutting out ilIiteracy He also ravors
continuation OF the civil service move
ment properly promoted, and hopes to
see the restoration OF our merchant
marine He is in favor OF peace and ar
bitration, and opposed to wars and ter
ritorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT. He proposes to
convene the Congress in extra session
on March 10, instant, to enact protective
tariff legislation.
There is not word about the ont
RACES upon our flag, our honor and our
citizens in Cuba; nor concerning the an
neNation OF he Hawaiian Islands. In these
two respects the inaugural is greatly dis
appointing.

Mystery and Greatness.

a group of half a dozen detectives, some
gtlised, no doubt, in tough-looking over
coats Of various colors and in tough
looking hats of various shapes, marched
yesterday by the side of the Cleveland
carriagc-for it seems appropriate to
call it the Cleveland carriage, because
this conical performance would hardly
have been thought of, or permitted, il
President Mckinley had happened to be
riding alone from the Capitol to the
White House.
1t is well known that Mr.. Cleveland has
surrounded himself, especially during the
last few years, with an uncommon number
of ofdetectives, policemen, patrolmen, rounds
men, qua rdsmen and special Officers, doubt
less on the supposition that somebody
might like to hurt him. This habit has
tended strongly to invest Mr.. Cleveland
with that peculiar air OF mystery which
some thoughtless persons have mistaken
personally believe that he was at any
time in the slightest danger of assassina-
ton, but whether he has been or not, it
seems TO us that the danger of 1t must
have been increased greatly 10y the pres
ence of these unpleasant signs of force.
And so it was yesterday In the in,
augural parade. We doubt IL the new
President cared for these absurd precan-
tons. AS for the old one. he required
them still less than before, If that is
possible. The circumstance was nonsen-
sical in the extreme, and made one part
at least of a solemn and beautiful cere-
monial ludicrous and tiresome.
