Acet,Iene a Cur. for cancer.

The latest Development oil the use Of
acetylene is on the medical side. 1t
has been employed in the treatment of
the terrible disease known as cancer,
and. il is said, with results which have
not only been highly satisfactory so far.
but which almost seem to indicate that
an actual cure for the complaint has
been discovered. The Importance of
this cannot be oyerestimated. There
appears at least 10 be no doubt shat
acetylene is the most efficient agent
against cancer known al present. The
method of its application is perfectly
simple: The cancerous surface is coat
ed with carbide of calcium and then
moistened all over with water. Acety-
lene is at once evolved in contact
with the diseased tissues. The APP
plication can of course be re-
newed at pleasure. A burning
sensation is felt by the patient and
the symptoms are Immediately abated.
a specific for cancer would, no doubt,
stamp out in time one of our most for
midabe maladies, and there is at least
hope that it has now been found.-In-

Latin and ItnIinn.

In the fifteenth century Leonardo
Bruni. surnamed L'Aretino, from his
birthplace, Arezzo, maintained that the
Italian language was coeval with the
Latin. and that both were used Mt the
same time in ancient Rome-Ital.an by
the common people and Latin ny the
learned and polished in their writings
and assemblies Cardinal Bembo who
died in the middle Of the sixteenth CEN
fury. maintained the same theory,
which was also defended during the
last century by francesca Saverio
Quadrio. Generally speaking philolo-
gists of to-day believe that the italian
language is branch of the provincial
Latin of the empire mingled with
barbaric words. but Marquis Scipio
Maffei rejects this theory. and believes
that modern Italian was gradually
formed by the corruption of the classic
Latin without any admixture.-Cin-

Washington managed to inject into the de-
bate harangue in which he denounced the
administration for paying the obligations of
the country in dollars worth 81 each, for
which he rated it roundly and declared that
the treasury is running in arrears and into
bankruptcy. The orator who draws his facts
from his imagination and attracts attention
because of his dudish attire did not know
that he was exposing his ignorance, but
everybody else in the House I'D excepting
a few nlen. of the Jerry Simpson order Mr.
McRea, OF Arkansas, attempted to insult
the administration by asserting that It
would not resent an insult to the national
honor, consequently ships and Notifications
are unnecessary. It is fitting that this zeal
for the national honor should be displayed
by a representative from a State in which
there is a town in which whites have or
dered all the colored people to leave the
never has been a time when this govern
ment had less cause for complaint of foreign
governments. The present Spanish Ministry
is doing its utmost to maintain amicabe
relations with the United States. Had the
policy Of Weyler been continued it is prob
able there would have been rupture ere
this.
There are men on the Republican side
who seem to labor under the impression that
speeches should be partisan and that ques-
tons which cannot be turned to political ac-
count are of little consequence. Such Re-
publicans ponder the remarks of Mr..
Sayers, of Texas, with profit. Mr.. Sayers
spoke for the whole country when he said
that the appropriations should be cut down
to the estimates of the revenues, and he
stated fact which some men seem to for
get, which is that it is the duty of repre-
sentatives of both parties to labor TO secure
the best possible results in appropriation
bills

The impending war between the manu-
facturers of wheat flour and those of corn
flour has some interesting aspects for the
public. 1t is not an irrepressible conflict,
because it will not be war of extermina-
ton either side. Wheat and corn will
both abide with us and continue to furnish
a large part Of the worlds food. The i'm
pending war, like many others that have
occurred in the commercial world in re-
viz, that mixture of corn flour with wheat
flour makes food product better for some
purposes than pure wheat flour, and much
cheaper. 1t is natural that this discovery
should cause some alarm among the manu-
facturers of wheat flour, and that they
should try to head off the introduction of
the new product but in doing this they
should not resort to unfair means. 1t is
certainly unfair to ask for legislation
against the new product ON the ground that
it is adulterated flour. The term adultera-
ton as applied to foods implies a poisonous
or injurious mixture, and that cannot be
averred of the new flour. Doubtless it is
not as white as the finest pure wheat -four
but neither is whole wheat or Graham flour
which is even more nutritious than the
finest white -four. The Journal is not pre-
pared to say which contains the more nu-
tritious qualities, wheat or corn, but GER
tainly the blending of the two cannot make
a deleterious mixture Tt is said that Con-
gress will be urged to impose special tax
and other disabilities on the new product
Congress unwisely adopted that policy at
the instance OF the butter manufacturers
against Oleomargarine, imposing a special
license tax on the manufacturers and tax
of 2 cents a pound on the article itself: but
it should not repeat the mistake in regard
to corn-wheat flour. Oleomargarine pays
an internal revenue tax of more than
$1,500000 a year, while butter does not pay
cent, yet thousands of restaurants and
boarding houses and many families use
oleomargarine because it is cheaper than
good butter and much better than bad
The only requirement or restriction that
should be placed on corn-wheat flour is that
it be sold under it's proper name So far as
purity is concerned one flour is as pure as
the other. and if people wish to buy the
mixture under its proper name they should
be permitted to do so without any dis
eliminating taxes against it,
