THE BROWNSVILLE CASE.

There is prospect that the Browns
 vile. Texas. affair which led to the
 dismissal from the army Of a body of
 negro troops, is soon to have light shed
 upon it which will give it a very diff ferent aspect from that at first pre- sented. The senate investigating com mittee. which under MT. FOraker's leadership took much testimony a few weeks ago tending to show that the negro soldiers were not the guilty parties in that affair. is about to re- convene. and it is said that Senator Foraker is now in possession of evil dence which will show who did the Brownsville shooting. and that it was not the colored troops. Without con siderins at this time the rumors on that subject it may be said that there has been apparent for some time a dis position on the part of the government to probe the matter deeper than its agents went when it was practically dismissed from official consideration. It is said that very recently an inspec- tor has been ordered to Brownsville 10 investigate the report that it was the Springfield rifles left by the 18th in fantry. which preceded the colored 25th. which were used in that fracas. Senator Foraker has been sincere and earnest in his efforts to bring out the truth of that mystery, and it is due him to say that the whole subject would have been dropped in a very un- satisfactory way if he had not insist ed upon the senate investigation.

IMITAToR OF DIR. osLER.

The proposition of New York phy- sician that the victims of tuberculosis should. as a means of avoiding useless suffering for themselves and to pre- vent the extension of the malady to others. be sent to their final rest by means of morphia, is merely a revival of the question periodically raised. of euthanasia for the incurapies. The sug- gestion in the case of consumptives is less valuable than its author assumes. Commonly the danger of contagion is exaggerated. though perhaps this is fortunate when dealing with some of the cases. Tuberculosis may be ac- quired by long contact with victim in certain circumstances: but it may be avoided by the simplest precau- tions. The education of those who come into close relations with the Iat
 tents is all that is needed. along with the instruction of the patient hims If. Only in the most advanced stages of the disease is il hopeless. No; all con- sumptives suffer greatly, and to many there is the prospect of years of use fulness and happiness. T. is not d physicians duty to attempt to discour- age sufferers by such suggestion.

''NIan Win the Great Idea.p

And all at once the President of
the United States, the presidents
and financial managers of the rail
road systems, the Interstate Com
merce Commission, the English
Board of Trade, which has the ad-
miniStration of the governmental
supervision of railroads there; the
French supervisory authorities, the
Railroad Commission of Canada,
these and many other people who
have concern with the universal
problem of transportation and its
relations to government, are turn
ing to Prof. Adams as the man with
The Great Idea.
Prot. Adams basic idea is that
publicity, plenty of it, and enforc-
ed uniformity, will together solve
many problems. But the working
out of his system has been a matter
of twenty years development. 80
day his scheme has the Endorsement
Of the governments of the United
States and Canada, which have
united in putting it into effect July
I. From that day half the railroad
mileage of the world will be under
this system. England and France
are studying it and are strongly in
clined to adapt it to their cOndi-
tons; and even in Germany, where
they take statistics as a regular diet,
thrive on mathematics, and reduce
everything to figures, they are in
veStigating this Adams scheme.

CONDITION OF MINING
 INDUSTRY MOST EXCELLENT.

During the present depression of mining stocks and all other stock shares and securities the prevailing condition must not be taken as an in dfcation of the condition of the real mining industry which has never seen greater period of prosperity during it's history. Take the conditions of the mines in Arizona and we have the indisputable fact that the price of mining stocks cannot be taken as an indication of the progress or the lack of progress in the mines or at the re- duction works.
 The unprecedented activity which started few years ago in all the min ing districts continues unabated. This fact Is evidenced first by the re- ports of unprecedented activity in all the camps, and second by the thor oughly awakened interest of the in vesting public in mines. Not only are the preparations being carried forward for more extensive operations and en- larged output with the coming of spring, but the machinery and supply companies are being deiuged with or ders for equipments for the mines. Meanwhile the funds necessary for de velopment work on properties of prov en value are readily forthcoming.
 The question naturally arises, whether mining has now actually en- tered upon new era of unprecedent- ed greatness and prosperity; or wheth- CT we are to witness merely the burst ing Of another speculative bubble af- ter the period of imitation has run it's course. The answer to this question Is at least indicated In a study of ex- listing conditions in the mining and in-
