 The enormous mortality from diph- tn eria among wood pigeons of late years has formed the subject of inves- tigation by medical men for some time past, and as result of their labors We have been assured that the hacterium which caused this mortality was not communicable either to man or to other animals. But Dr. W. |. Sambon of the London School of Tropical Medt- cine. has just contributed a long &C., count of the disease to The Lancet, wherein he contends that in supposing the virulence of this disease to be con- fined to the wood pigeon, we are prob ably laboring under. a grave mistake. He has at any rate shown, if he has not actually proved. that the wood pigesoona domesticated pigeons, and that these in turn infect game birds and dioemessti- ease into the cattle yards and stables of farms, viotimlnzing the horses on the one hand and cows on the other Thence the teamster- and the milkp1an among the farm hands become infected, the latter distributing the germs with the milk sent to town.

A Belgian Pn.umoula Treatment.

Daily Consular Reports.
 Consul l-General Henry W. Diederich, writing from Antwerp. gives the fol- lowing account of another step for the allegiation of pneumonia.
 The increasing therapeutic use of se- rum of animals inmuniZed by bacteria and bacterial products is one of the most remarkable characteristics of modern medicine. In the treatment of pneumonia, or inflammation of the lung tissue, the results obtained with se- rum treatment, though they have fallen short of the brilliant results obtained by the prompt use of diphtheria anti toxic serum, have been very encouras~ ing.
 There are various preparations in use zerland. but they must be applied in rather large quantities and in oft-re- peated doses. In cases of moderate Severity not less than fifty grains, and in severe cases 100 grains, and even more, must be given, thus injecting at least four to five times the Initial dose. To overcome this difficulty, Dr. Leon Bertrand, a noted bacteriologist of Bel gium, has set himself to the task of preparing a serum that may be applied less frequently, in smaller doses, and with more beneficial results.
 In a paper recently read before the Medical Society of Antwerp this scient- ist claims to have been successful. and known the details of this new serum cure of pneumonia, which Is bacte- ricidal. not an antitoxic agent Il Is to be hoped the future results will bear out the good hopes which he now en- tertains of 1t

 Chicago convention was essentially q machine performance will please read this from The Hartford courant;
 On the evening of June l?,, Prank F. Hitchock, manager of Taft's cam paign for the nomination, sent out a prediction which was published in The Courant, to the effect that when the convention balloted the result ballot. This presumption and boast full announcement was handsomely rid- dled by the. critics, who knew for a fact that there would be no selection out? Why. of course, Hitchcock was wrong. There wasn't any T04 for Taft: it was only 702 One delegate from South Carolina was absent. but, even if would w have been One vote out Of the way. It's hard to be right but, If ever anybody was right Frank H. Hitchcock Is the man. Nobody before ever came within gunshot of his fine accuracy,
 The courant affects to be funny about it., but how can any reasonable reader deny that the convention was packed7 The order had been sent from Washington that Taft must be nomi- mated on the first ballot and by c prao. tieally unanimous vote. and Hitchcock carried out the order. His steam roller" methods crushed out practically all opposition and when his work was done it was not difficult for him to forecast the result He would not have ventursd such a prediction if he had not known that his work was complete. nor would his prediction have come true if the delegates sent to Chicago had been free to act as they felt. And yet that is the party of the square deal" of which so much is said by the President and his adherents.
 The truth Is that never in the his- tory of political parties in this coun- try has there been witnessed such an utter travesty on fairness and square dealing as was displayed at Chicago. It is true that some of the contests were fake and that some of the contesting delegations had no shadow of right to seats. but that fact does not justify the autocratic methods by which the Taft contestants were seated in almost every instance. Hitchcock and his helpers were sent there to see that Taft got the votes and there was noth- ing for them to do but to carry out the program laid down for them by those who selected and sent them out It was dead easy for Frank to tell Taft's vote, for it was mathematical cer- tainty in advance. The administra- ton should give Frank Hitchcock a big plum.

existence as political organization de. pends largely on carrying this election. If the party divides; if any great num- Der of the voters refuse to support the ticket. not only may they so out of power. but may find it hard to get solidly together in the future. Politi- cal disorsanisation Is hot easy to over come. and sometimes it is not done at all Not only party supremacy Is at stake, but the vast patronage of the government Is involved. and that is something not to be lightly considered or disregarded. When . Republican feels like kicking out Of the traces he will think of the offices and tell him. self that t will be better to keep to- gether and have another try at 1t.
 And Democrats especially should put little faith in the reports and rumors of Republican dissatisfaction. With the best candidates and platform we can get, and with the party united and harmonious 1t is bound to be a hard fight against a party so strongly en- trenched as the Republicans are. If those upon whom depends the direction and management of the Democratic campaign should allow themselves to believe that the Republicans are split up and not to be feared, and for this cause should grow careless and indif- ferent there will be little ground upon which to base the hope of success. Let the Republicans growl at each other if they will, but let Democrats go at it. and keep at it just as if they knew that every Republican in the Union would vote his ticket, Thus we will have . prospect of victory not othsr- wise. Put no faith in runers of Re- publican diseontent and division is our safe policy.

The Hartford Courant, in a fit of absent -mindedness. or because the re- spopsible editor was absent, said day or two ago that for the first time since 1884 the Republican party has nomi- mated for President a man without any military record. The Courant's neigh bor, The Times, would like for some one to point out what military record James G. Blaine had, who was noml- mated in 1884. The Times has The Courant there. Blaine wasn't even a militia colonel. so far as we are in formed.

NO FAITH SHOULD BE PUT IN IT

It will not be safe or prudent for the Democrats to base their hopes too largely on reports of Republican dis satisfaction with the ticket put forth at Chicago. We are aware that such reports are being circulated in various sections. We are told in one news paper of the various reasons why Re- publicans are dissatisfied with Taft and will not support him. Another is sure that the party will not stand for Sher- man. and still another feels sure that the platform is distasteful to great many members of the party and that they will not vote the ticket, and so it goes. If we should believe all that is said and printed on the subject we sh ouId decide that the Republicans might as well go out of business and save the trouble and expense of mak- ing a campaign.
 But we do not place much confidence in such congratulations, for we have heard them before. They come to the front after each national convention. and we have learned by experience that they are not to be depended on. Of course 1t would be impossible to select a ticket and a platform that would be satisfactory to every member of any party and nobody should ex- pect 1t. There are favorite candidates and favorite policies for all members of a political party and to give each one what he wants would require some thing more than human intelligence and human power.
 There is too much at stake for us to place any confidence in these nut terings of diseoatent. The Republi- cans cannot afford to divide. Their

 The New Haven Register concludes highly complimentary editorial on the death Eef Blind Tom with these words: "In his death he remains musical mystery There is no record to show that his instance was otherwise than absolutely unique" Elsewhere The, Register calls him "a sort of human photograph" and this is prob ably correct. He reproduced, with almost superhuman accuracy, the sounds which came to him. but just how he did it is as much a mystery to the intelligent as to the uninformed and unedueated. Certainly he was one of the most unique productions of the age; or perhaps of any other age.

 New York Commercial.
 What Gomosrs demands. if he was cor rectly quoted in a Chicago dispatch to The World recently, is the entire abolition ot the writ of injunction. He is represented as saying that what President Roosevelt. as well as the Federation.' attempted was stead of that" he declared, the Repubh- can party calls for legislation that will legalizs what We have been trying to abol- ish." He seems to think that the injune- tton has been illegal all this while and us- ed by the courts without authority. and that Congress by requiring notice before the writ is issued, unless trreparable injury hearing in the latter case, would "legalize" 1t for the first time. What Gompers wants Is to get rid of 1t altogether, so that labor unions may do 'irreparable Injury" without interference 10 prevent 1t.
 Quite different view of the subject was taken by Justice Brewer, of the Supreme Court of the United States, on the same day eester, Mass He said that the restraining power of the court of equity should be. en- larRed. and not diminished, and that to restrict this power would be step back ward toward barabarism." He believes in prevention more than penalty, He says: dense and activities increase. the restrain ing power of the equity court Is worth vastly more than the pupishing power of the criminal court" He would enlarge the restraining power and improve the Judicia- ry, until all the people will De assured that the power is only used which necessity requires and the restraint imposed only Sition of the jurist seems more reasonable than that of the labor autocrat.

A FREAK ISSUE.

Error of Theorist ss to Bank pepes-
 It's.
 New York Herald.
 The proposal to have the government guarantee bank deposits is regarded by Prof J. Lawrence Laughlin as a freak scheme to be ciassed with the rag baby of greenbaek days and the free eotrass or silver of more recent memory.
 In an article in the July number Of sorto" ner's he thoroughly reviews the subject, and concludes that such q guaFanty would tendsto put premium on the popular and "oblising'' bankers as against the care. ful and judicious banker.
 The fact that the average annual losses to depositors in national banks in forty three years has been only . small fraction of one per cent. Is cited by advocates ot the new scheme that only small guaranty fund would be needed. As Prof. Laughltn points out. the error of the theorists h in confusing ultimate with immediate re- The dIffersnce Is vast--and potent.

TRAVELLING THE SAME row PATH.

'TRAvELING THE SAME TOW PATH"
 The Advertiser few days ago made some comments about the way in which The Louisville Courier-Journsl criti- cized David Bennett Hill for going to Europe at this particular Iuncture. Tn reply our esteemed contemporary says:
 Tn 1sss. the editor of The Courier Journal did not run away to Europe in the face of stirring times and pressing needs at home. He went long in ad- vance of the revolutionary events at- tendant upon the nominating conven- tions, when there was no thought any where of a crisis. having engaged to to do other than partisan work and going abroad the better 10 accomplish this. The Courier-Journal remained here all the summer and all the time to meet all obligations of political and patriotic duty.
 The Advertiser has no cause to say glass house" to 1t, or to him, And, about the colors of the rainbow" Generally, the Courier Journal and The Advertiser have traleved the same tow path in the same direction.

 We let pass all that our friend says except the concluding paragraph and to that wish to say The Advertiser has given no occasion to The Courier Journal or any one else to ask such a question. We will do what we can to secure the success of the nominees of the Denver convention and certain ly look with no pleasure upon the probability of election of any ticket forced upon it's supporters by Roose- welt.
