EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Desperat. Cure for Lockjaw.

New York Herald:
The large number of deaths from
tetanus that have recently come to
light invests with much interest any
report of a cure Of the much dreaded
disease. The severity and radical ma
ture of the remedy. however. are well
calculated to inspire almost as much
fear as the original attack of the NAL
ady. Unlike other kindred infectious
ailments. there is usually no calcutta
ton for results until the poison has
done it's work by attacking the brain
and nerve centers and producing the
fatal spasms. Hence the only hope
rests in the injection of the tetanus
antitoxin directly into the brain. The
operation is a severe and dangerous
one, but is the only means at hand that
appears to be founded on the rational
scientific basis of directly neutralizing
the poison. The successful case report
ed from San Francisco is one in point in
which it was necessary to bore into the
skull of the victim for the purpose of
introducing the neutralizing agent. No
more forcible argument in favor of pre-
vention of lockjaw could be urged than
that afforded by the necessity of the
situation.

Col. Bryan continues to charge all the
misfortunes which have come upon the
Democratic party, to Mr.. Cleveland. hold
ing him. responsible for the confidence
game which he says the party played on
the people. Yet it is a matter of history
that Cleveland made an honest effort to
induce congress to carry out its pledge
OF tariff reform and when at last he did
Sign the Wilson German bill, he did so
under protest. The people placed the
Democratic party in power in 1892, on
the strength of its promise to reduce the
tariff Congress didn't reduce the tariff
and It was not Mr.. Cleveland's fault
that 1t did not do SO.

William Kirmse, member of the bridge
gang working near Littleport, was taken
suddenly i'll Thursday night with cramps
and a kind of cholera His case was so
severe that he had to have the members of

out and accordingly several doses were ad-
ninistered with the result that the fellow
was able to be around next day. The in

Cochran on Cleveland.

New York Press:
The Mr.. w. Bourke Cochran who says
Mr.. Cleveland surely will be elected if
he is nominated is the same Mr.. W.
Bourke Cochran who in 1892 was telling
the Democratic party, in national con-
vention assembled, that Mr.. Cleveland
is a popular man; a very popular man,
popular on every day in the year, except
one day, and that is election day" 1t
was a popularity that was not reduci-
BILE to votes, said the Tammany spokes-
man in the Chicago Wigwam. Unhap-
PLY for the country Mr.. Cochran turn
ed out to be a bad prophet. And in view
of his many startling and kaleidoscope
reversals of political form there is moth
ing to warrant Mr.. Bryan, Mr.. Waiter
son, or anyone else, in putting their
faith in a soothsayer in such i'll repute
as is Mr.. Cochran.

Russia and Japan.

New 7 Ork Times:
1t is reported from Vienna that the
danger of collision between Russia and
Japan is temporarily averted by the
military preparations of the former
power and by British mediation at
Toxic and French mediation at st. Pet
ersburg. But it is at the same time
reported from Toxic that Japanese feel
ing is much wrought upon by the evil
denceS of Korean acquiescence in Rus
sian aggression, an acquiescence which
has gone the length of a circuitous
method OF curing the defects of Russian
titles in Korea which were originally
obtained in defiance of treaties. Who
can blame her for her continuous sore
ness, ever since her treaty of peace with
China was torn up and thrown in her

Don't Curse tho Motorman.

New YORK Amer1cans
1t is time a word was said for the
trolley motorman. Contrary as it may
be to the popular impression, he is not
engaged in a deliberate effort to run
people down, nor does he. out of mere
cynicism or malice. refuse to stop when
signaled. He labors under the disad-
vantage of being employed by corpor-
alton that is not interested in being
obliging and that exacts from its en-
ployes a strict adherence to schedule.
If man is late with his car it is likely
to cost him his job: so, after a motor
man has been held back by discharg-
ing coal truck he has to make up time,
even though intending passengers ex-
plode with wrath as he sails by them.

Thomas A. Edison was good enough
day or two ago to tell a reporter of
the Times the story of a new Internal
machine which he is excogitating. The
contriyance consists Of a motor and
battery of such a design as to be read
lily applied to a four wheeled vehicle
with view to propelling the same at
high and murderous velocities. Mr..
Edison offers to wager that next year
he can take a car of his design, fitted
with his motor and battery, and go to
Chicago and back in less time than
with any other machine in existence.
THE trip will be made at an even 25
miles an hour" very good. If Mr. Edi-
son expects to go to Chicago and back
at the rate of 25 miles an hour, we
hope he will be arrested at every town
through which he passes and detained
so long that his trip to Chicago Will
consume about four years of solar time
BY which we mean that Mr.. Edison is
at work on the wrong thing and in the
wrong way.
