For some time past alarm-laden dis- patches have come from Utah notifying the people of the United States that the territory was in imminent danger of inva- sion from large bands of infuriated Ute Indians. Visions of horrors such as have been common in Indian warfare flitted be- fore the mental vision of easily-frightened folks who were ur informed as to the real situation, and for a season it appeared to the public generally as though anything like an avoidance of hostliities was impos- sible. The United States government was loudly petitioned for relief, and for a while telegraph wires were fully occupied with the pleas of the territorial officers and of others who regard the Indian as an unmit- tigated nuisance as they prayed for troops with which to subdue the rebellious red man. A telegram received at the Indian office yesterday from Agent Day pricked the bubble and wrought complete collapse of the sca-e. In that dispatch the agent “The supply expense of returning . West's mammoth invasion has been . ‘The Indians are now back on their reservation, from whence they had wan- dered without even the appearance of mur- derous intent, and the cost of bringing them back is too insignificant to be men- tioned a second time. Had the War De- partment responded seriously to Gov. West's frantic appeals there would almost surely have been another of those {nex- cusable and enormously expensive Indian campaigns most discreditable to the na- tional honor. As to the conclusion of the warfare there could, of course, be mo doubt; th> Indians would have been killed, and the land they occupied of right would become the preperty of the dishonestly- avaricious. And that was what the agita- tors were after. ——_+ + +—____ ‘The inevitable result of the natural gas gas craze—for it really was that—has ap- parently come at last. The wells are giv- irg out and the supply is falling so short that extensive plants that were built for the especial consumption of the gas tre abandoned or are at great expense veing rebuilt for the burning of coal. Families that depended upon the flow of the natural fuel are suddenly cut off when the frosts come, the very time that the gas is needed most for heating; it being a curious phe- nomenon that the flow ceases now, with the pressure so light, at the first appear- ance of cold weather. The stovemen in the Ohio natural gas region are doing a rushing business, and that branch of trade is reviving from the terrible depression that followed the startling discoveries of a few years ago. This episode illustrates a peculiar phase of humanity. There was a good thing in the fleld, a new thing, a nov- eity, effective while it lasted, and the peo- ple tumbled over each other in a mad rush to make it last just as short a time as pos- sible. With proper precautions and under reasonable regulations the supply of this wonderful fuel might have lasted for many years to come. But, no! what came so easily must, of course, come forever. The logic of the situation was based wholly on the theory that there was a fortune to be made in a minute and a half, and so the corporations controlling the big wells, with a view to a quick harvest, let out their stock without the least regard for the fu- ture. Now the wells are dry, the pressure has fallen off to a paltry nine pounds, where once ninety was considered feeble. ‘This 1s the history of ail booms, whether in real estate or towns or natural products. There is a reaction Just ax sure to come as the morrow, and the only wonderful feat- ure of it all is that so few prepare them- selves. ———_+ e+ “Recorder Taylor was yesterday the re- nt of a beautiful combined gold pen cil from the attaches of his office. ‘The presentation was made in his private . and the recorder acknowledged the compliment in a neat speech.” (From The Star, December 25.)

Every person who violates this section shall be summarily dis- charged from the government employ. (Sec. 1784, Revised Statutes of the United States, 2d Edition, 1978). Whose duty is it to enforce the law? > 0 Inspector Williams of New York may be an honest police officer, if there is such a thing in that city; but he seems to have made a mistake in his testimony before the Lexow committee yesterday. In ex- plaining the sources of his wealth, before joining the force, he stated that he owned some lots of ground in Japan, in which country he resided for a while. Unfortu- nately for this theoretical explanation for- eigners ere not allowed tq own real estate in Japan. ——__ + ee Where and when is the bacteriologist go- ing to be stopped by Nature's dead-wall? ‘This query becomes more and more perti- nent each time that the culture tube de- velopes a new germ and the brain of the investigator devises a new remedy. A short time ago it was consumption that en- gaged the attention of the scientist, and the world knows how the lymph failed to achieve the success that was hoped. Then cholera began to be treated in the game way, by inoculation, and now dread diphtheria 1s being battled by means of the hypodermic syringe. But years before these inroads were made Into the ranks of the fatal diseases Jenner had established the fact that small-pox could be prevented, at least, by the infusion into the biood of a healthy person of the same elements which produce the disease. The same theory there prevailed that in the disease germ it- self lies the only remedy for cure. Modern @iscoverers In this line have gone further than did the early investigators. There now seems to be no disease that cannot be met more than half way by the use of these rather contradictory measures. The great success of the anti-toxine treatment for the cure of diphtheria, which has been the greatest advance of all, encourages the hope that other of the most fatal infections may yet be conquered, at least in part. ‘There 18 now no question as to the efficiency of the serum in the cure of bad cases of Giphtheria, in Paris, where the remedy has been given a most thorough and sys- tematic trial, the death rate from this disease has fallen from about 50 to 14 per cent among the hospital cases, since a year ago. With a@ large supply of the remedy there appears to be no reason now why the disease should not be wholly checked in the cities, at least, for it appears that only in the most advanced cases does the serum fall to work a cure. The latest tissue of the “Abstract” of the Marine Hos- pital Service cvntains, as usual, a table of 8s. ...December 27, 1894. _ the mortality of the large cities of the United States, showing the following to have deen the causes of death during the past week: Consumption in 200 cases, diph- theria in 1%4, enteric fever, 57; scarlet fever, 24; whooping cough, 13; measles, 4; small-pox, 1. Thus diphtheria appears to have been the gecond in the list of deqth- producing diseases. If this tremendous cause of death can be thus removed, or brought down to the level of measles or whooping cough, is there not hope-that the fevers that carry away scores each week may yet be so analyzed as to bring forth their cures? But above all there yet re- mains the greatest enemy of life, con- sumption, which invariably holds the first place among the causes of death. Hope has not yet been given over that it will in time be reached by means of some ptomaine or germ remedy. If the death rate be cut down but one-half a vast stride will have been made. But the end of it all! What is it to be? Is there any reason to believe that the coverer of remedies will be entirely balked? ‘The success of the last ten years gives reason for thinking that not only the gen- erally contagious diseases but also the minor ils may be solved and the death rates reduced materially. Is it a violent assumption that in half a dozen decades the mortality tables will show a great re- duction in the number of deaths from such causes’ If this be reasonable, it would surely seem that there is in immediate prospect a general prolongation of the period of human life. It is a generally accepted fact that the average life today is much shorter than it was many centuries ago. ‘he evidence of the Bible is to the eifect that men often lived far past the hundred mark, so often, indeed, that there is reason to believe that the tendency of the time was toward a greater prolonga- tion of existence than has prevailed since then. But there has been a marked in- crease in the average length of life in this century. ‘he improvements in scientific medical treatment have all had a tendency to increase the duration of years. The latest advances are strongly in that direc- tion. ‘There are influences, to be sure, now at work, in the manners of modern life, that tend to hasten dissolution, but these are the results of carelessness and inat- tention to the truths that have resulted from the discoveries, of science. With Nature reinforced by powerful remedies that are known to be effective, why should not ten years be added to the life of man in the coming century? —__ + +2 So many organizations make Washington their meeting-place that there are only few days in the year in which some national association is not in session here; this week three bodies of importance and interest are conferring at the seat of government—the American Jewish Historical Society, the American Historical Association and the American Folk-Lore Society. By their pres- ence they contribute to the reputation which this city is rapidly acquiring as a great mental center. Science, literature and art are moving in this direction with gratifying rapidity; here is the neutral ground where all may meet on even terms and work out their respective futures unin- fluenced by the personal and social consid- erations so distressingly common in other communities. —_+ ++ —____ There were, according to the official re- ports made to the superintendent of the post-oflice building, seveniy-nine men at work on that structure yesterday. They did not work all day, being Interrupted. by the snow, but a whole day’s work will be counted for them. They might, if allowed to work uninterruptedly throughout the week days of the year, finish the building on or about the 7th of May, 1896, according to the obsolete schedule udopted by The Star at the beginning of its remarks on this subject. That is certainly a minimum date. The building has now been under way tor two years, ten months and three days. +e +-—__—_.
