MR. JERomEs INCONSISTENCY.

Mr.. jerome is getting 70 be just a trife too
Jealous in his enthusiasm for change in the
excise law He ought TO stop and think little
before be talks about the politicians towards
because they hesitate about taking his voice for
the voice Of the whole people. Nobody has any
reason 10 question Mr.. Jerome's good intentions.
Ee sees the undouited evils incident to the
present excise law. and is sure in his own mind
what the remedy ought 70 be. In advocating
that remedy and hitting at those who fail TO
agree with him. however he does not show him
SELF as logical and consistent might be desired
In an interview published yesterday Mr. Jerome
after explaining that he did not care for the
politicians. because they were afraid of alienat-
ing this OF that class Of voters, said:
Now. this excise question is not question Of
votes. but of principle. If the people of a city
whose population is more than half that OF the
entire State believe that the saloons should
remain open part OF the afternoon and evening
On Sundays, and that the present Raines law
cannot be enforced but. the other hand, gives
rise to blacknnsil and corruption in the Police
Department. l think that the people should have
what they want Furthermore, I believe that
they Will have il, and il IL does not come this
winter il wifi come later
There is good deal of truth in that II is
generally agreed that the people are likely 10
have what they want. II they wanted Sun
day opening along the lines of Mr.. Jerome s
plan. doubtless the politicians-cowards. as Mr.
Jerome says they are-would hasten 10 give
them their desire. II Mr.. Jerome believed
that the people os the cities wanted Sunday
opening and were deprived Of it by rural preju-
dice or political tirnidity, mis- zeal and scorn
would be easily understood and his deterni-
nation 10 force q triumph for the people ap-
piauded. But Mr.. Jerome does not believe
That the people of the cities want the Sunday
opening On which as their champion he is SO
snsistenf. He is quoted as having said in a
recent speech: Il have no doubt that the voters
"of New-York City. by a large majority. are
opposed 70 Sunday opening They would vote
down the proposition because the real issue
would Tot De presented in the proper light :
So in the statement published yesterday, when
asked if he was In favor of local option or refer
endun, he answered: Il am not, and the reason
as that the members Of the legislature are ur
there at Albany 10 represent the people. II

FIGHTING INTESTINAL DISEASE.

Frederick G. Novy who is credited with hav-
ing found an effective method of dealing with
intestinal n1aladies is bacteriologist OF excel
lent standing. Any statement which ne may
himself make concerning his experiments and
their result therefore will receive favoraole at
tention. This does not necessarily involve ab-
solute credence OF course. In regard TO all al
legged advances science always adopts an attl-
tude of kindly scepticism. The evidence ad-
duced in support of any new proposition IN bl-
oIogy chemistry, astronomy or any other de-
partmeT1t Of knowledge is like that offered in
court of law. Unless it possesses certain char
acterstics it will not convince competent jury.
But the accounts which the public has thus far
had of Professor Novy's researches have not
even the merit of his sanction, and hence must
be received with caution. All that it is wise to
believe at present is that he has sought to dis
cover a suitable antiseptic wherewith to fight
cholera, typhoid fever and allied disorders. 1t
is too soon to say how completely he has sue
ceeded.
The object which the Ann Arbor professor had
in view was not an easy one to attain. One can
find pIenty of substances that will kill the germs
of the maadies in question. But most of them
are Injurious to the human system also, in a
greater or less degree. CarbOlic acid. for in
stance, is a powerful antiseptic, but 1t is a
deadly poison too Various drugs, like salicylic
acid, while comparatively harmless when taken
in minute quantities, nevertheless produce def
mite medicinal effects which it is not always de-
sirable to secure. Moreover, it has been OBJ
iectad to some of the materials employed as
food preseryatives that, while fatal to the bac-
terra of fermentation and putrefaction, they
tend to check digestion. Obviously, it will not
do to promote dyspepsia while heading or
dysentery, except on the theory that between
two evils one should choose the less If, there
fore, Professor Novy has devised compound
which will kill disease germs without harming
the patient, he will be entitled to double meas
ure of glory. He will not only have conferred
great boon upon mankind, but he will have per-
formed task beset with peculiar difficulties.

A FEW ToRDs WITH A CRITIC.
The following letter would appear TO be de-
serving of some slight attention:


New-York, Dec. 10. 1901.
Shades of Horace Greeley" o, for but one
week of the old man Grand" He would make
short work with the stock arguments used to
advance the interests Of the Sunday Opening
crowd. He compromise with evil? 1t is un-
thinkable. He would redeem The Tribune from
the disgrace into which it has fallen by the
putting forth of such sentiments as are con-
tanned in this mornings editorial, with a few
hold strokes Of his pen. In the hope that the
old Tribune may resume its rightful place as a
defender of truth and advocate of righteous
GEO. F MAFEE
All this because in the editorial referred TO
The Tribune. while expressing grave doubt of
the wisdom of Mr.. Jerome's proposals, affirmed
its confidence in the sincerity and rectitude OF
his intentions Surprise and disappointment are
often manifested because the work of regener-
ating the world. though it eniists an army OF
jealous men and women and immense material
resources proceeds so slowly. One chief reason
doubtless is that in many instances persons of
meagre intelligence. vain and obstinate temper
and impudent manners are permitted 70 capture
the leadership of such work. The pen of Hor-
ace Greeley was indeed a terrible weapon, and
never more terrible. or precious. than when It
was employed in letting daylight through a man
like the writer of the foregoing communication
On one occasion. when it was fantastically pro-
posed to discipline Mr.. Greeley for a certain
magnanmous act which he had chosen to per-
form, he addressed to his censors letter which
became famous, containing this memorable
sentence: II arraign you as narrow minded
"blockheads. who would like 10 be useful to a
great and good cause but don't know how" In
the faint hope that he may profit by it we COM
mend that candid utterance 20 the prayerful
consideration of the Rev. DR. George F. McAfee,
superintendent of school work of the Presby-
terian Board of Home Missions.
