 It is only through the seductions of temptations that nations violate the precepts by which they are wisely guided It has ever been the promise of reward which has lured a people from the course of security within themselves to court dangers from without. It was this weakness on the part of Worlds which led Nations to tempt the fate of their future and wreck their monuments of glory on the shores of selfish adventure.
 These established truths were the sure warnings to the fathers who founded this Republic. They had be- fore them the example of wayward Israel trespassing into Egypt in the hope of financial gain and paying the penalty of it's temerity by enduring forty years of slavery and centuries of oppression and ignominy upon her Saddened people. The patriot found- CTS of our land knew that time had recorded how Rome not contents to hold her own splendid prowess by req son of force and virtue within; but daring the course of destroyed nations gone before, she had advanced upon strange worlds in the guise of friend SLID Ouly lO lIdHSIOTIn n6rSolf into the role of conqueror with inviting op- portunity. Rome had her punishments in the retaliation of the invaded. Sine suffered the overthrow of her estab- lishments and the destruction of her glory. Carthage and Thebes had fall en under the spell of the insiduous enchanter. France and Spain had not escaped the same dire consequence which over followed in the wake of commerce By force and conquest by war. The lurid picture had etched it's phantoms on the brain of our Rev olutionary masters. They spoke their last admonition to us, their coming children and to the end that we might be preserved against that which yield ed the death stroke to others who had assayed in that quarter; Washington, our first ruler, in taking leave of his country, bade them in the composite wisdom of Madison, Hamilton and lief fersOn that ours should be: 'Peace with all nations, entangling alliances with none"
 It was European nations our fathers contemplated in this admonition. Those nations whose peoples were al- ready part of us and of whom the hope might be indulged of some poIit- ical unity and domestic amalgation. If those of the European nations were the objects of our warning; people who in part made up our people and who from sympathy and connection might be assumed to hold future of frtsnd=.

Blood of Lambs May
 Flow in Human Veins
NeW York Timesl

Even homeopathists complain that the doctors of the modern school have largely done away with the use of drugs. The case of Senator Luke Lea of Tennessee, who on Monday "donated'' quart of his healthy blood to save the life of his wife, is in point The development of knowledge that immunity, largely stimulated by the researches of Sir A. F. Wright, ac- counts for this tendency to do away with the glass, the spoon and the po- tion.
 Blood transfusion, heightening the powers of resistance, is an analogue of preventive medicine. Dr. Grille of Cleveland, who developed the alterna- tive method of saline injections, pre- fers the splicing of veins of donors with recipient patients. In severe sur gical operations, transfusion prevents shock; in infectious diseases, it estab- fishes immunity. Crile and Beebe have drained the blood of cancerous dogs, transfusing into their bodies the blood of dogs found immune to can Ger. In every case the cure was com plete. Dr. James Ewing, of the Cor nell Medical School, and most cancer experts, are convinced that thousands of human beings recover spontaneous ly and unconsciously of cancer. If it were possible by a test to ascertain the immunity of these recovered indi- viduals, the problem of the cure of hu- man cancer might be solved
 Drs. Gutenberg and Friedman of Co., Iumbia are experimenting upon the bloods of animals and human beings to discover, if possible, the way to overcome the fatal tendency of the blood of different species to form clots when transfused. This tendency is ob- servable in some cases between hu- man beings, so that it is necessary, as in the case of Senator Lea, to de- termine this question by preliminary tests. But Jean Baptste Denis in the seventeenth century successfully trans fused the blood of lambs into his pa tients' veins, and, in 1894, De Dominicis reported transfusions from 27 dogs to 19 human beings. Since that time many doctors have studied the prob lem, and there is hope that blood from any species may soon be customarily used to reinforce the vital powers of human beings. Senator Lea risked his fife in this operation. Medicine will have achieved a great victory when human donors of blood are no longer needed to make this sacrifice

Wrought up over the delay of the Connecticut Go. in laying it's portion of the wooden blocks in Barnum ave nue, though the city has both sides of the street laid from Noble avenue to East Main street, the Paving and Sewer Commission will attempt to re- taliate by giving like treatment foi like treatment.
 The commission met last evening and received a note from Engineer C. C.

AS it takes at least two weeks for the block to get here, and as the Conn. Go. has to furnish about 7,500 yards. it can be figured out that the work will be held up for consider able length.
 It was suggested that possibly the through the U. S. Wood Preserving Co.,, would be along in a few days and that these blocks could be shifted to Barnum avenue

There are a number of ordinances governing street car service which can be en- forced which will bring them around to see the light.

There is an ordinance against excessive speeding in the early hours, and also speeding around idea to insist upon their enforcement as they are backed up by liberal fines If we could collect them, and there is no reason why we should not, I think we could get a nice little sum out of the company, and soon bring them around to our way of thinking. A few such fines and we would have enough to pave few streets. In any event it would show the company that we will not submit to their dictation, and will not make us appear so easy as they think we are.

Whelming majority of the senate in

diplomatic situation growing out of

Bacon asserted the lawful right of the
Mexican government to put. down in
surrection, even though as an Incl

government could not but recognize
the right of its neighbor to the south
to suppress insurrection if it had the
power to do so. He spoke of the loss
OF life that would result from Ameri-
can invasion, both from casualties in
the army, and to Americans now resi-
dents and property owners OF Mexico.
The latter would be in most desper-
ate situation, he said, once American
troops committed the hostile act of
entering upon Mexican territory.

Representative Underwood, the Dem.

are congratulating themselves that
the measure was put through with
out the aid of special rule. One day
was given up to debate on the measure
under the five-minute rule, and the
steam roller was not resorted to:
One OF the amendments of the hun
dred or more, offered by Republican
Leader Mann, was to exempt German
exports from the provision of the
free list bill, in retaliation for the
German tax on potash exports, but this
was voted down by the Democrats.
Burlap, which is now taxed seven
eighths of one cent per square yard,
was put on the free list, as were jute

sixteenth of one cent a square yard,

cotton taxed three-tenths of one cent

The vote came after the Democrats
had voted down or ruled out of order
more than one hundred amendments,
and had demonstrated again that the
Democratic majority was compact
and smoothly-working machine for the
enactment of legislation.
Minority Leader Mann threw amend
ment after amendment into the de-
bate, ranging all the way from free
rice to free lead and pig iron, but
those that were not ruled out of or
