The democratic attitude toward
Cuban reciprocity is as inhsrmo-
nious and chaotic as has been the
democratic policy on all important
measures during this session.
With the hope OF arriving at some
definite plan OF action, a confer
ence was held on Tuesday even
ing but, such was the diversity Of
opinion and so pertinacious were
the adherents Of each plan, that
the conference adjourned at a late
hour, after pledging all those pres
ent to seerecy-pledges which
were promptly broken. The New
lands faction wished TO bind the
party to defeat the measure unless
il was made to include an invita-
ton to Cuba 10 become annexed to
the United States. The McClel-
Ian faction wanted TO unite on an
amendment reducing the tariff
concessions to so per cent. Mr..
Burleson and other Texas demo-
Gratis wanted unity on an amend
ment which would extend the 80
per cent reduction named in the
bill to nails, baTbed-wire, fencing
wire, cotton bagging, woodruff,
etc. Although the Speaker deei'
ded the bill was a revenue measure
il is not believed that Mr.. Sher.
man, chairman Of the committee
will hesitate to pronounce all such
amendments out OF order.

Japan wars Against Malaria.

The japanese are quick to learn
and apply the latest achievements
in science to their own conditions,
and it is not at all surprising that
thev are interested in the new theo-
ries as to the relations between the
mosquito and malaria. Some time
ago experiments were undertaken in
Formosa, a region where the army
has suffered very severely from the
ravages of malarial fever. The re-
suits, now reported, show that not a
soldier in a battalion protected from
mosquitoes for I6I days showed any
signs of malaria, while another bat
talon living near and under the
same conditions, except ms regards
~proteotion from the insects, deyel-
loped 25o cases in the same time.
The demonstration seems to have
been well nigh conclusive, and if
the official reports sustain the cabled
dispatch the need for beginning
energetic campaigns against mos.
quitoes in every place where ma,
laria is prevalent will be evident.
Indeed, to do so is a duty rathei
than a need. Malaria IS a mos.
terrible disease even in its mildeI
forms, and the annual toll which i
has exaeied from humanity has beer
enormous. To conquer il would b

The American Grocer makes an
interesting analysis of the consump-
ton Of liquors in the United States
during the year 1901. The figures
show that while there has been q
slight gain in the use of spirits there
has been a decided increase in the
consumption of beer. The entire
drink bill was $I,s73,7Is,3S6. of
which so per cent was for beer, 81
per cent for whiskey, s per cent for
wines and "a per cent for lei and
coffee. Reduced to its equivalent
as a beverage, more gallons of cof-
fee were consumed than of any
other kind Of drink, the amount be-
ing I,3sI,37s,454gallons as against
I,s5S,14o,3oI gallons of beer. In
the same period the number of gal
Ions Of tea drunk was 4os ,S71 ,ooe
and of spirits and wines s7,oS0,a7S

sumption OF alcoholic liquors is MOI
increasing and that the American
people are growing more temperate.
