seven years ago the American peonle
dropped great load of anxiety. Fifty
years had gone by since thew had
SHOWN foreign war, and a generation
nad passed since they had left the bat
tie held. And the supreme issue of ma
uons was in the balance between them
ana spain. Seven years ago on Nav l
george Dewey struck that issue from
me balance. He steamed into Manila
bay as Horatio Nelson had sailed into
Aboukir Bay 100 years before. and won
complete victory. From the techni-
cal viewpoint Manila was not an epoch
making battle, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean. With the American people it
replaced uncertainty by confidence.
All chance of attack on our Pacific
coast was removed by the first blow.
And that blow proved the mettle of
our men and Spain's. 1t made sure
the victory off Santiago. Best of all,
1t showed that the line of Paul Jones
and Decatur and Perry and Macdon-
ough and Farragut and Porter and Da-
Wis was not extinct It proved that
this people still had with them the
great naval commander, ready to meet
their need.

Diseases Spring Up and Disappear

It is common belief that the germs
of disease flourish only in the human
organism, and that, if we could only
eradicate an infectious malady, 1t
would stay eradicated. 1t now seems
very probable that this is untrue. Ac-
cording to a view held wholly or par
tally by many pathologists, ana
strongly upheld by recent french
writer Professor Bodin, disease germs
are only accidentally virulent, thelr
normal existence being what is called
'ssaprophytic;;" that is, Independent Oh
any other organism. When one OF
these harmless varieties changes It's
nature so as to become parasitic, we
have a new disease. Observation mas
shown that many kinds of bacteria are
very unstable, and are constantly
forming new varieties. 1t is posslDle,
therefore. that potential germs OF
typhoid, lockjaw, or consumption may
be growing harmlessly about us, to as
sumo. suddenly, a virulent paraslilc
life at some future time. According
to this view. all bacteria are primarily
benevolent agents for promoting cheih-
ical change, and the variation that
turns some of them into injurious par
asites is accidental and abnormal

Private Car Lines.

The railroads seem very willing to
have the private car lines brought I'M
der the Jurisdiction Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. A railroad
president is authority for the statement
that lines are paid mileage, without
discrimination, and the question of ex.
cessive charges is a matter for the
shipper to settle with the car lines, SO
long as there is no law to govern their
rates. Car mileage paying has been de-
cided to be as legal as the payment OF
rental for property.
