Bryan Gives Views.

Omaha, Neb., November 1.--William Jenning Bryan today gave the follow ing interview: "I do not look for any prolonged trouble in the business world. Conditions which made a panic and depression in 1893 are entirely diff ferent now. Then prices were falling because of a restricted money supply. Now we are in the midst of a tre- mendous gold production which gives an abundant money supply and main- tains prices so that buisness is brisk. The present bank trouble does not show the need of an emergency or a sacrifice of currency. l think it pre- sents a strong argument against set currency. As it is now there is no doubt about the quality of our money"

Washington, November 1.-(Special1 J. Being a martyr does not seem to be such a paying proposition as being a con querer Theoretically it ought to be, but the advocates of international peace. and the boards that bestow medals for be- roism and prizes for scientific achieve ment haven't been able to bring about that consummation as yet. The death the other day of Dr. James Carroll last sur viVor of the little group who down in Cuba in 1900 let themselves be poisoned, in the interest of science and humanity, by yellow fever laden mosquitoes has emphasized once more the inadequacy of the honors that are paid by this country to it's heroes of peace.
 Despite all the nice things that are be- ing said, and the little pensions that are being paid to the widows. nothing has been brought forward to indicate that Dr. Carroll or Dr. Walter Reed or Dr. Jesse w. Lazear are likely in the near future to be voted public monuments by Con- gress for their great victory gained in the warfare humankind is waging against the all but inconquerable forces of dis ease and death. The streets of this im- peria city are full of military heroes astride of impossibly prancing steeds and of politicians of bygone years standing with their right hands thrust majestically beneath the lapels of metallic frock coats fashionable in other ages. Like Berlin, whose celebrated Sieges-Allee, or Hero Row, long since was occupied to overflow ing. so that new hero annex is in order Washington also contains more statues than the district commission knows what to do with. Some say that the Potomac would be a good place for many of them; though others object that Washington has aspirations as a seaport and that it would be pity to clog the channel.

This is a great country for honoring right enough. of course-those who have fought, bled and died pro patria on the field of glory. Amongst the de- parted venerables with military reputa- tons a few folk who cherish the mem ory of one of the noblest deeds ever performed by men trust that some day there will be found in Washington a place for an adequate memorial to Dr. Carroll and his associates. The men concerned in the great sacrifice at Ha- vana have now passed on. pr. Reed is dead; Dr. Lazear died immediately from the disease; Dr. Myers of Liver pool, a British investigator. lost his life at the time. And now death has removed Dr. Carroll on whose person was given the first positive demonstra- tion that the mosquito conveys the in- fective agent of yellow fever and who lowered for days between life and death to recover finally and return to Washing ton, where he succeeded Major Reed in the chair of bacteriology and pathology in George Washington university.
 It is doubtful if the vital importance of the discovery confirmed by these daring investigators has yet been popularly ap- preclated. It is not simply that method has been provided for stamping out yell low fever and thereby saving lives of mill lions who live in tropical conditions; the whole range of possibilities of good health in the tropics has been immensely ex- tended. It has at last become understood that many evils which used to be at tributed to pestilential night air, to drink ing water to witchcraft are in reality due to the buzzing insects that swarm in humid and superheated cline. On ac- count of the fear of disease, for example, and particularly of yellow fever, most people in tropical America still sleep with their windows closed. For that req son tuberculosis ravages Spanish-Amer- ican countries to an incredible and en- tirely unnecessary extent Now that 1t has been ascertained there is no spirit of destruction in the evening breeze screens can be arranged to keep out the mosquitoes; the fresh air does all the rest

The foregoing is, of course, only one of the beneficent results of the work of the early autumn of 1900 when Drs Car roll and Lazear agreed to lead the fororn hope in a contest then being waged against one of the most malignant of diseases A paper on yellow fever in- vestigations by Dr. A. H. Donally, in- structor in baeteriology and pathology at George Washington university, has just been published in this autumn's bulletin devoted to the work of the department of medicine. This tells in detail the story of the events beginning August 27, 19O0 when Dr. Carroll barred his arm in the laboratory and allowed fellow physi- elan to apply to it mosquito which had 12 days before bitten severe case of yellow fever on the second day of the disease and had thereafter bitten three other cases at intervals of six, eight and 10 days. On September 2 1t was clear that Dr. Carroll had yellow fever which ragged in his system for the allotted pe- riod. The martyrdom of Lazear oc- cured on September %. 1900, after an ill., ness of one week, as a result of yellow fever induced by the bite of a stray in- sect in the hospital ward where he was engaged in injecting mosquitoes in his experimental work by allowing them to bite yellow fever patients. Although nc had previously allowed himself to be bit ten by an infected mosquito he had failed to develop the disease in consequence of it, so that it was accidental rather than part of the program that has life was given as 1t was
 The nobility of the sacrifice made by these physicians is strongly set forth by Dr. Donally in his discussion. One of the finest, tributes ever paid their work was that of Dr. Henry D. Holton in his address as president of the American Public Health association, in 1902, when he said:
 "The patriotism of the military as they spring to the defense of their country, always deserves and receives the applause of the populace. Their deadly conflict on the battlefield Is made easy by martial music, the boom ing of artillery, the rattle of the in- fantry fire, and the advancing step of comrades. How much more should we recognize the course of such devotees of science as pr. James Carroll and Jesse w. Lazear, who, filled with a great philantropic love for humanity calmly, quietly, without the cheers or even the Knowledge of the multitude, silently submitted themselves to the test to determine in what way this pes tilence was communicated. We are told, Greater love hath no man than this, that man lay down his life for his friend We find that Jesse ". Lazear fired and impelled by his great love for his fellow man, did offer his body as sacrifice upon the altar of scientific investigation, to the eld that in the years to come hundreds of thous- ands might escape this pestilential death."
