THE PARASITE OF CANCER.

Abernethian Society of London has
been advised that DR., Otto Schmidt
of Cologne has succeeded in isolating
the specific parasite of cancer, and
establishing the fact that what have
been regarded as the relatively num-
erous cro-organisms hitherto OBJ
served in these morbid growths, and
which have been more or less vaguely
associated with the disease, are really
one family, but assume different
shapes under different conditions. If
this discovery is substantiated, long
step has been taken in dealing with
this battling and terrible malady. 1t
in sense prepares us for the an
noupoement that DR.. Schmidt has
discovered serum which in cancer
GUS patient has the power of destroy
ing the cancer cells. Dr. Russell of
Edinburgh not long ago reached con-
illusions almost identical with those
announced by DR.. Schmidt, but was
more discreet in announcing them,
although subsequent microscopic inves-
LEGATIONS in Eng land and in this coun-
try seemed to emphasize the import
ance of his work.
If Or. Schmidt has succeeded in iso-
lating the specific parasite Of cancer
he has done great work and one
from which incalculable benefit to
humanity will result. The matter is
regarded with enough interest in
London 10 warrant the sending of a
qualified specialist to Cologne to
study DR.. Schmidt's method. The
most interesting experiments thus far
made III cancer treatment of which
full records are available are with
radium. in which DR.. Exner, who
was commissioned for the purpose 10y
the Vienna Academy of Science, has
had very encouraging results in ameli-
orative treatment. 1t will be tested
to final conclusions by the staff of the
London Cancer Hospital. New YORK

RECIPROCITY ASSURED.

The special session of Congress was
called for single object, to keep faith
with Cuba by enacting a reciprocity
measure. The achievement of this
special object is practically assured by
the agreement in the Senate to vote on
the pending measure on December H.
The leaders on each side of the Senate
are parties to this agreement. Some
OF the opposing malcontents have not
personally consented to withdraw their
individual opposition, but when SEN
ator German agrees that debate shall
end and vote shall be taken, and
other leading Democrats are in accord
with him, rreconeilables-if there are
any-will be whipped or cajoled into
silence when the appointed hour ar
rives Even the fearful Teller will be
forced into submission by the cunning
of German. This emotional states
man started out with the menace that
the reciprocity treaty should not be
ratified at the special session. By the
postponement of the vote to the regu-
lar session he wins technical victory,
and must needs content himself with
this barren honor.
No one doubts that the bill ratifyinp
the Cuban treaty will be passed on
the appointed day and the long de.
ferred measure of justice and good
faith will then heeoma n law This

CONTEMPT OF THE GAME LAWS.

That nearly 100 does should be
killed in Vermont in ten days shows
contempt Of law that is quite dis
hesrtening. AS Commissioner Thomas
points out in his letter. elsewhere
printed, there is too much sentiment
and too little respect for law. The
citizens of Essex county are the most
fragrant offenders and it is no secret
that deer are killed there every month
in the year and convictions cannot be
secured owing to the disagreement of
juries. Last year we heard great
deal about public sentiment and the
local option law, and it is a matter of
State pride that our citizens are work =
ing for An enforcement of the new
law. whether in license or no
license community. There should be
the same zeal to have our game laws
enforced from the moral standpoint,
to say nothing of the act that a lax
enforcement will soon result in killing
about all the deer in the State, Cal

be adjourned and the debate come off
in the ten days preceding the appoint
ed December 18th. The important
thing is the vote, which by agreement,
will be taken at time fixed, and that
will be an end of the long dfawn-out
matter. There is substantial ma
jority in the Senate for the treaty and
it will inevitably be ratified The
Senate, the House and the President
are in substantial accord. The House,
through its speaker and his fellow
members on the parliamentary commit
tee, will control debate, fix its limits
and bring the measure to vote. which
will be for the measure by large ma
jority.
Thus, after many days, the promise
to Cuba will be redeemed and what
ever of commercial ADVANTAGE the
treaty will bring to her she will begin
to realize.

GENERAL FOODS ANSVER

Washington, Nov. 2S. Gen. Wood s
answer to Maj. Rathbones charges,
which has now been made public,
covers sixty-five tpyewritten pages,
each one bearing Gen. Woods sigma
tnre and an attestation of it's accuracy.
He takes up the charges of Rathbone,
denying the first charges of in1dnc-
ton, to Rathbone during his trial.
Rathbone had made good deal out of
the fact that furniture was bought
and other expenses incurred by Gen.
Wood in equipment of his residence.
Gen. Wood says it is perfectly true
that he bought furniture. maintained
carriages and incurred expenses Incl
dent to his official position, all of
which was made charge upon Insular
revenue. He adds that the material
was purchased for strictly official pur-
poses and in case of non-expendable
property was transferred to the Cuban
government. In explanation of the
allowance of $3.50 month to Capt
Scott. eighth cavalry, he says it was
on account of his Gen. Woods alb
scene and the fact that his duties fell
on Scott.
Regarding the So, 600 used as an enter
tainment fund he says it was allowed
on the order of the secretary of war
to meet the cost of entertainment of
hi sri nom shad foraionaro Nrho,, oko
just before the time of transfer. He
says he could have obtained the money
as an additional salary but preferred
to take it as a special allowance and
it was accounted for by vouchers,
about 81, 200 being turned back into
the Cuban treasury. Gen. Wood ad.
inits the employment of newspaper
men ON various works, and character.
ICES the incident of such employment
as irrelevant matter. In conclusion
he says . 1t might not be inappropriate
to invite attention to the fact that
Rathbone's charge practically implies
that the military governor, inspectors,
judges and auditors all conspire to
convict him. The creation of such a
position would have been impossible
and the complaint would have had q
truer ring had Rathbone declined to
accept pardon and taken his case be.

TOBACCO MONOPOLY.

New York, Nov. 2s. Copies of the
Jill Shimpo, semi official Japanese
organ, which reached this CITY We'd
nesday, contain the details Of the i'm
perial PROPOSITIONS that will be SUBJ
mitted to the legislative assembly of
the country, when it meets on Decem-
Der 8, with view OF making the to-
bacco business throughout Japan va
government monopoly The plants
outlined in the circular as follows:
The government intends to build
about forty factories throughout the
country, commencing in 1904 and COM
plotting them all by 1909. But the
factories now used by the present
manufacturers which the government
may consider suitable or necessary
will be bought and used by the gov
eminent s as
Wholesale dealers will be appointed
in important cities and retailers in
every district; the former are to buy
the manufactured goods from the
government and sell to the retailers.
who supply the consumers. The pres
ent licensed manufacturers, leaf tobac-
co brokers, and brokers in manufsct.
ured goods will be given a privilege to
be wholesale dealers
An effort will be made by the Gov
eminent TO retain all persons at pres-
ent employed in the tobacaco trade in
suitable positions. The expectation
/ of tobacco and cigarettes will be en-
couraged and special prices will be
granted dealers who wish to engage
| in that business.
Sadazuchi Uchida, Consul General
of Japan in this city, when seen at
his home Wednesday night said that
should the monopoly bill pass, it I'M
doubtedly would tend to increase the
price of tobacco and cigarettes to con-
sumers in Japan. He did not think
it would affect the exports of tobacco
from this country to Japan. The
only difference would be that ex-
porters would be selling to the Gov
! eminent instead of to private i'm
porters.
1t would not be in accordance with
facts to say that the increase in rev.
enue is being called for ON account OF
the situation in Korea and Man
churia, he said. THE policy of
progress inaugurated by the Japanese
government entails the building Of
schools, roads, and railways, and
naturally also increases the improve
ments to the army and navy, and all
that costs money. Whether the
measure will pass the Diet or not is a
! matter on which would not venture
prediction -
Should the measure pass, Mr..
Uchida pointed out, the American
Tobacco Company, which, through
its English branch. is interested in
many plants in Japan, would be forced
to sell out to the government in COM
mon with the other manufacturers.

There is now no probability, it is
said, that New Hampshire will be in
any way represented at the st Louis
exposition. In the last Legislature
Winston Churchill made strenuous
effort to secure a creditable exhibition
by the State at the great fair, but the
measure which he drew in aid of the
project shared the fate of other bills
which he proposed, and adjournment
was reached without any action being
taken. Last summer the subject of
making some sort of an exhibit was
discussed by the State board Of trade,
but the movement which was inaug
urated had no practical results.

IMMIGRATION LAW.

1t is impossible, in few words, to
deal comprehensively with SO broad
subject as immigration, to cover all
the details, causes and results which
have made the matter one to be
handled in a manner altogether differ.
ent from what it was even few years
ago. However, there are facts which
are undeniable, and generally accepted,
everywhere, which throw light on che
subject to certain extent, aud there
are defects in the workings of the
present law which can be distin.
guished by the least observing, In
the first place, it is fact that the
United States is not receiving the
class of immigrants she did few
years ago. At the present time, for
the most part, the immigrants are
the scum of Europe. The government
is admitting them into the country
and. eventually they will become can
didates for citizenship of the United
States.
In passing, one cause for the in
crease in immigration may be noted.
Not many years ago it required a
pretty thrifty person to save money
enough to buy transportation across
the ocean. In the last few years con-
ditions in this regard have so greatly
changed that one can cross the ocean
in the steerage Of ship for a mere
song. Thus many come over, doubt
less, because they have nowhere else
in particular to go. Now, it should
be the aim of any restrictive legisla
ton to receive onto our coasts only
the timber which, hewn, will make
good American citizen Will these
idle denizens of overcrowded cities,
many of whom have been driven out
of their own country on account of
crime or Incidence make these staunch
citizens for whom the country seeks
and needs? Still, it they have the
small sum of money that may be re-
quired, and have sufficiently acquired
the knowledge embodied in the educa-
haps, by the transportation companies,
they can come to these shores to their
hearts content and make of them
selves, what? Subjects for the aims

tiaries. They can mingle with the
people, contaminate with their filthy
habits and spread the ways of law
lessness and crime
On the Other hand, "a person brought
up in the country, ignorant, it may
be, but still able to earn a living by
the toll of his hands-even willing to
labor-may be debarred from coming
here. 1t is true he has little but his

is made for the future worth of a
per son, although it is perfectly easy
to distinguish him from the other
class OF indolent, worthless, city
jewellers. One has but to go to large
cities to see this undesirable class OF
immigrants which are allowed en-
trance to the country, and who are
living on the bounty of others or by
their crimes. One has but to look
at criminal statistics to discover the
landing place of many of the first
named class of immigrants, and the
kind of life they have been accustomed
to abroad.
