THE MICROBES OF MALARIA.
WHAT PASSES FOR THEM JUST EXHIBITED IN
LONDON.
LONDON.


Somewhat conflicting notions are still enter
tanned by those who have investigated the
causes Of malaria to the genuneness Of the
alleged microbes which associated with the
disorder The old theory was that a specific
poison, originating in soil full of decayng mat
ter. would be thrown out into the air when the
earth disturbed by excavation. and from
shallow water into which sewage drained
This mischievous agent was not formerly con-
sdered a living organism. But several bacteri-
ologists think that they have identified bacil-
lus which causes malaral troubles, and two or
three experts have found these forms Of life in
great abundance in mosquitoes. DR.. Manson
and Surgeon Major Ross Of England, have thus
been led to suggest that the mosquito is largely
responsible for the dissemination Of malaria.
Two criticisms have been made of the microbe
theory 1t is asserted by DR. Laurie. of India,
that the objects seen by Ross, Manson and
others are not parasites, but products of dis
eased spleen. Again. il is alleged that malaria
abounds in parts Of Italy where the mosquito is
never seen. The latter fact merely exculpates
the mosquito however. 1t does not disprove the
existence OF a maarial mcrobe.
Fresh attention is drawn to the matter by
series of exhibits at the latest Conversations Of
the Royal Society In London. In confederation
Of their views DR.. Manson and Major
Ross showed a number of specimens Of the para
site under the microscope The development OF
the creature was illustrated by showing 1t Id
different parts OF the mosquito successfully. It
was thus traced all of the way to the insects

boscis 1t is only the female mosquito, natural
lists tell us, that bites
Surgeon Major Ross is OF the opinion that the
mosquito capable of carrying this contagion is OF
a peculiar species. and that its extinction may
be looked for at no distant date OF course this
display at the Royal Society's meeting does not
settle the controversy definitely. But the cir
cumstance Is deserving Of notice.

AN INCREDULOUS JURY.

In a criminal prosecution recently tried in

neither do we believe that any Of the attorneys
have spoken the truth nor that either Of them

A discreet. wise friend who IL a calm
observer Of passing events as well as
a close student Of political issues. i'm
q private letter to US offers a view that
IL may be proper to refer to and eve
to copy his own words. He writes for
our eyes:
AT the November election only the
electors n members OF are
TO be voted for, and IL Is doubtful If
We can get out a full vote. The great
interest VIII center in the August cleo
ton when the state and county officers
are to be chosen. It will be hard TO
bring all OF u voters to the polls again
in November and we may lose some
members Of congress on that account.
Besides there will be men who will vote
with US in August who being gold men,
will vote against US in November, 50
that we may need every vote we can
get in November to save our candidates
for electors as well as for the house of
representatives. l believe A primary
held in November for senator would
help get out a full vote"
AS has been suggested by others the
right thing to do under the extraordi-
nary circumstances is for the next state
convention, that should be held not
later than middle Of May. 1900. to in
sIruct the state democratic committee
10 be chosen by il, 10 cause a primary
election for senator to be held at the
November election of that year. Our
astute friend tells US this, and we see
no objection TO II:
Let a box be opened at every pre-
einct in the state n after the voter
has voted for the democratic candidates
for electors and for congress he may
then vote for senator IL he chooses TO do
So. The man who gets the majority Of
votes for senator shall be elected by the
legislature. Then when the Legislature
meets there viii be no log rolling, nall
ing and pulling but the members can go
about their work"
That looks sensible ans fair without
doubt. Let it be so dons, and ii will
suffice. Mark, only electors will be
permitted to vote for senator who have
first voted for the democratic candi-
dates for the federal house of represen-
tatives and for the democratic electors
for president and vice president.
But mark any one who may choose
can vote for democratic representative
and electors for president, and not vote
if it so pleases him for senator. There is
no compulsion here. He need not go
the whole ticket, in other words.
