AMONG the many protective laws
enacted by the Wyoming legislature,
this winter, are: To levy q tax upon
live stock grazed within the state and
belonging elsewhere; to prohibit the
removal of live stock from one county
to another, or out Of the state, to evAde
paying a tax upon them; providing q
bounty for the destruction of wolves
and other predatory animals; prohib
iting the shipping Of estray cattle and
other animals to market until such es-
trays. by proper procedure, are sold.
Then there are some wise changes be-
ing made in existing laws pertaining
to riparian rights; regulating the dis
tribution Of water for irrigation and
INNING +; providing for the conservation
and impounding of storm waters and
protecting water needed for domestic
uses from contamination.

THE TIMID POWERS.

The attitude of Greece in regard t
the disturbances in Crete is frowned
upon by most of the great powers Of
Europe. Not because Greece IS in the
wrong, but because its action is likely
to precipitate the fall of the Ottoman
empire and disturb the peace OF Eu-
rope. They have, Of course, separately
and collectively, threatened Turkey
with dire vengeance for just such acts
as Greece IL disposed to take ven-
geance for, but their threats were
meant to be taken in a P~ickwicklan
sense. Their present attitude makes
the fact apparent.
War is not a thing to be longed for,
but there are times when II is justified.
There need be no occasion for q gen.
eral European war owe Turkey, II the
powers are as ~forbearing with each
other as they have been with the porte,
though that miserable empire should
be %overthrown tomorrow. The crimes
of Turkey deserve retribution. and it
may be hoped the Grecian beIligerence
will bring it for the good Of Europe
and the world.

AN M BILL.

head devil is a member Of the legisla-
tive council at Santa Fe, and conse-
quently ought to know what his paper
is printing, at least editorially, CON-
ments as follows on the salary bill in
the uppor house'
While it is generally supposed that the
council bill relating to the salaries OF
county oficia,s, which passed the council
measure, cuts down fees and salaries, a
close investigation shows that such is net
the case.
The sections in reference to sheriffs'
salaries and the fees they would receive
under execution proceedings against de-
linquent taxpayers, would give these off,
cials largely increased compensation. 1t
is estimated that the sher Il OF Bernalllo
county would make from SIC. 900 to 100000
out of this one provision, and would have
it in his power to almost bankrupt the
poor people of the county. The bill will
also largely increase the fees Of the clerks
of the district courts.

The republican members Of the Legislature
will favor a conservative bill making q
uniform cut 10 the salaries largely in sx-
cess of the work performed. But they will
never favor any such unjust measure as
that passed by the council yesterday.
Many of its provisions are all right, but
the bill as a whole Is most abominable and
should never become a law,

A NEW TIRERCILIN

Ever since Koch thought he had
found in his tuberculin a preventive of
and remedy for consumption, and since
it proved to be of no more virtue than
test to determine the presence of
tuberculosis, medical men have been
carrying on his line of investigation
confident of ultimate success. Every
now and then humanity is cheered
with an announcement that some one
has at length found a serum that is
preventive and remedial, only to be
disappointed later when the remedy is
put to larger test. But the medical
fraternity refuse to hang out the white
flag of surrender, and there is every
reason in the record of their past ac-
complishments to expect that some day
to some one will come the accident of
discovery that will give mankind re-
lease from this most dreaded of dis
eases.
recently council of physicians of
San Francisco met to receive the dem
onstration by Dr. Hirschfelder of q
tuberculin he had discovered and an
piled with marked results. Sixteen pa
tients were present whom he had
treated with it, and in each case there
was either an apparently permanent
cure or such relief and check to the
disease as to indicate the practicable
ity of the treatment. Among them was
DR.. Billings, of Chicago, who was sent
to California last year by his physi-
clans with the assurance that he had
but six months to live, and whom the
doctors present declared free from tu-
berculosis. Then DR.. Hirschfelder gave
the following description of his rem
edy:
It's basis is the extract of veal, treated with
peptone, glycerine, and made slightly alkaline.
After being sterilized, the germs of tuberculo-
sis are planted in it, and allowed to deyelop
in an incubator which is kept at a temper
ature of 50 deg centigrade. After the surface
of the liquid becomes covered with the germs.
which take the form of a gray scum, the
mixture is subjected to a heat of 100 deg
centigrade, which kills the tuberculosis germs
The fluid is then filtered and the clear dark
amber liquid resulting is the tubercuine
used. Peroxide of hydrogen is added by a
gradual process till the amount absorbed
equals the tuberculine. Then per cent of
boric acid is put in and the cure is ready
for use.
Hope has been raised and dashed
down too frequently for this announce
ment to be received with the high ex-
pectations that were raised when
Koch, Behring and others gave their
discoveries to the public, and there will
be a conservative waiting for further
developments. But the mortality from
consumption is SO great, its attack so
insidious and its hold so tenacious,
that there will be new interest in this
latest discovery and an eagerness, none
the less strong that it will be suppress
ed 10 learn of further trials. It IS some

NEW YORK, Nov THE chorus

Rev. Thomas Dixon Jr. is pastor, con-
sisting of about forty singers, refused
to sing today, out of sympathy with
Prof. Agramonte. their leader The
pastor last Sunday advocated the cleo

Prof. Agramonte Is a Cuban and a
has been in a Spanish prison on the
island of Cuba for two years. The Gu

to any intervention of this country
in Cuban affairs, and has stood against
the cause Of Cuban liberty since the
outbreak of the last war.
Mr. Dixon, in his sermon today. said
that he sympathized with Prof: Agra
monte, and had advocated voting for
Low last Sunday only because he stood
the best chance for election against
