Oxygen for wounds.

Remarkable results are reported to have
been obtained in England by treating wounds
with oxygen gas. Two kinds of micro-or-
ganisms are found in wounds, one kind being
benefcent and the other injurious in its ef
fects. Oxygen causes an increase of the for
mer and a decrease Of the latter, so that. ac-
cording to a writer in the British Medical
journal, wounds t!s4tcd with oxygen heal
more rapidly and with less pain than by any
other form Of treatment

The legislature has not many more
days to sit, but it has lots of work to
be done. The code is the most i'm
portant thing now before it. This has
just come up in the house and if there
is any great delay in acting upon it,
it will hardly be adopted. That II
should be carefully considered, all adj
nit, but while it has been in the SEN
ate it has also been in the hands of
the members of the house, and they
should be so familiar with it that
they should be prepared to act with
out any great delay; and they prob
ably will be. Any unnecessary de-
bates on any matter. and there have
been some, will cause delay at a time
when time is most precious. Long
hours and steady work will finish up
the legislatures work in ample time.
And that now seems to be the pro-
gramme. f1s

EXPORTING LUMBER.

That stalwart5 Republican paper and
doughty champion of protection, the
New York Mail and Express. says that
China last year imported 1900. 900
square feet of American lumber. most
of it coming from the states of Oregon
and Washington. 1t is further stated
that she will probably take twice as
much this year. and the demand is
likely to increase IN geometrical ratio.
The Mail and Express goes on to say
that the great industrial and CONNER
cial development now under way in
China has caused an enormous demand
for lumber which cannot be supplied
from her own resources, the once great
forests OF eastern China having been
completely denuded, and the result is
that she has to draw upon other coun-
tries for her needs. This vast trade will
be immensely profitable to our north
western states, but, inasmuch as it is
sure to hasten the already too rapid dis
appearance of their magnificent forests,
it cannot fairly be regarded as an I'M
mixed blessing.
No doubt this trade will be immensely
larly as the lumbermen are to be al
lowed, under the new tariff, to enrich
themselves out of the people of this
country by putting up the price SO as
to realize an amount in excess of
legitimate profit. This by way of pro-
lection to the vulture. But we are told
that this new trade from which such
immense profits are to be made is not
to be regarded as an unmixed blessing.
This is not because the profits are not
blessing, but because this country is
cutting down its once seemingly in
exhaustible forests at a too rapid rate.
Still the lumbermen have been clamor-
ing for a big tariff on lumber so that
the pauper lumber OF Canada could not
come into competition with our own
free born lumber If the forests re-
serves of the United States are so ex-
tensive and inexhaustible that a tariff
should be placed on lumber then there
is every reason in the world why the
export of it to China should be an I'M
mixed blessing. If there is now a too
rapid disappearance OF the magnificent
forests of this country, and there GER
tainly is. then the very last thing in the
world that the lumber interests of the
United States need is a tariff, for it will
prevent foreign lumber coming in and
will accelerate the already too rapid
disappearance of our forests.
In reality, there should be no tariff
on lumber as it has come to be almost
a necessary of life to the farmers of the
whole country. If there is one. it
merely means that the lumber interests
are to be permitted to put their hands
into the pockets of the farmers and
people generally and take out of them
several dollars for each thousand feet
of lumber sold to them.

The New York legislature is about
to take hold of the question OF depart
ment stores. at least the following
resolution. which has been introduced
into the state senate, would so indi-
cate:
Whereas, CONSTANT has been made
that the large department stores in
the cities in this state are gradually
crushing out the smaller stores, by
uniting in one establishment nearly
every kind of business. and are conSe-
quently running the smaller merchants:
Whereas, The retail trade is thus be-
ing concentrated into the hands of
large CAPITALISTS, who are enabled 10
sell certain lines of merchandise under
cost:
Whereas, The tendency of these prac-
tees is to deprive persons of employ
ment and TO reduce the salary of those
employed in said department stores;
Resolved, That the committee ap-
pointed to investigate the trusts be au-
torized to investigate the manner in
which these department stores are con-
Quoted. and to learn what effect they
have uOon business and upon the
wages of the employees.
Senator Lexow will certainly have all
the investigation he wants before he
gets through.

MR.. BRYAN AND HIS PARTY.

The hold that Mr.. Bryan seems to
have on his party is a thing that as
tonishes many of those who were so
bitterly opposed to him in the cam
paign. Thus, the Kansas City Star,
says that in truth there have been
very few things in his conduct and his
speeches since the election to make him
unworthy Of the genuine esteem in
which he is held by his adherents. 1T
is very evident that Mr.. Bryan is just
as completely the dominating force
in the amalgamated Populist-Demo-
cratic party today that he was during
the campaign" continues the Star.
He embodies in his personality the
connecting link between the two par
ties which voted for him in the last
election, and, according to all present
indications, he is the only man who
can permanently unite these elements.
Perhaps it is not an exact statement
to say that he has developed remark
able qualities of leadership. because it
is not his ability as a general so much
as his attractive personality which has
placed him in his present position He
has a great body of enthusiasts back
of him, and it is the amalgamating
power of this enthusiasm, centerinS
around a man who is himself the en-
bodiment of enthusiasm, rather than
the result of organization, which has
made Mr. Bryan the idol of the free
silver advocates of the country"
The charm of his personality may.
and doubtless does, account for some
of his popularity, but his adherents
regard him as the very personification
of the political ideas that he advocated
and for which they voted; and their
attachment to those ideas still at
taches them to him.
But there is still another reason why
Mr.. Bryan continues to be so popu-
lar He met a great defeat, but 1t did
not overwhelm him. He met II ike
man and has not permitted it TO de-
press his spirits or to make him doubt
full of the future; he has taken II
most philosophically. His whole con-
duct since the election shows him TO
have been worthy of the great posi-
ton TO which he aspired.
The Star says that the main body OF
the free silver party is intact today,
but whether it will gain or lose in
the years between now and the next
presidential campaign is a question
which depends on developments during
that period. and not on anything which
can be foreseen now. That this
great body of the free silver
party is so intact today shows
that there must have been some
principle of cohesion in it that
the opponents of it refused to recog-
nize. Had it been banded together
for the purposes its opponents said, it
would have dissolved instantly upon
the announcement of its defeat. This
it did not do; on the contrary, 1T re-
mains intact, hopeful of the future,
ready to take the aggressive when the
proper time shall come. With such a
party behind him is it to be wondered
at that Mr.. Bryan remains buoyant
and is in no wise discouraged?

APPALLING CONSEQUENCES OF
DELAY.

James Creelman, correspondent, has
a fertile imagination and a facile pen.
The two lead him into that most dan
gerous, if pleasant, field of forecasting
which deals with national disasters
and political cataclysm. He has been
telegraphing from Paris what the
United States should do in dealing
with the Cuban question, and what
will happen if it is not done. IF the
American government has wisdom and
nerve enough to recognize the Cuban
republic the whole question will be in
stantly solved" says MIR. Creelman,
but if action is delayed Spain Will
claim that the concert of powers re-
garding Greece and Crete is a plain
precedent for a concert of powers re-
garding the United States and Cuba.
Is there no American leader big enough
and broad enough and wise enough to
force action at once? There is not a
diplomat in Europe who does not fore
see the appalling consequences of de-
lay"
This gentleman's knowledge of what
pain will or will not do in certain con-
tingencies is astonishing, if not pro-
found. Not many weeks ago he told
the American people of a terrible con-
spiracy that President Cleveland and
Secretary Olney had entered with
the Madrid government. His exposure
of it alone prevented the consumma-
ton of it. Now he tells his country
men that Spain will claim that the
concert of powers regarding Greece
and Crete is plain precedent for a
concert of powers regarding the United
States and Cuba. From this it is to
be inferred that he, Mr.. Creelman
correspondent plus diplomat, thinks it
the duty of this government to annex
Cuba. Until this country attempts this
and there is little likelihood of it, there
could scarcely be a concert of powers
to prevent it.
There is not a diplomat in Europe,
including Mr.. Creelman, who does not
see the appalling consequences of de-
lay, Where will the appallment be?
Appalling consequences of delay.
There is something about the phrase
calculated to Brighten one were there
anything back of it to warrant it's use.
To the ordinary reader. the reader who
isn't possessed of the innermost secrets
of every European diplomat of promi-
hence, it would seem that there was
far more danger of appalling conse-
quences" from action than from delay.
OF course, delay win permit Spain to
subdue the island if she can, which
seems improbable, but it can in no
sense be fraught with any appalling
consequences" to the United States
unless this government should step in
and seize Cuba, a most unlikely
course.
Mr.. Creelman is too positive in what
he says. He allows of no appeal from
his decisions, and the result is that
they are not taken by the people as a
guide. His positiveness destroys the
interest of his news"

The washington Post remarks that
Utah, the youngest state in the Union,
will have two senators after the 18th OF
March. who are both natives of the
state. It is rather a remarkable fact,
as none OF the new states have been
represented by men born within their
borders. Both Senators Cannon and
Rawlins We're horn in Utah. Both are
young men, but new states have here
tofore been represented by young men.
But three states west of the Missis-
sippi river will be represented in the
senate by men born in the state eX-
cept Utah. The others are California,
with Senator White; Oregon, with Sen
ator Mcbride, and Texas, with Senator
Chiffon. As to Utah, it indicates that
state was settled long ago. which is a
fact. Mr.. Cannon was born in 1853
and Mr.. Rawlins in 1850. The latter
must have been among the early white
children born in the territory. though
the first settlements in the territory
were some years previous.
