A representative of the New York Board of Health has just returned from a trip abroad, made for the purpose of investigat- ing a new German remedy that is said to be almost a certain cure for diphtheria, says Harper's Weekly. His report is so_enthusi- astic that our euthorities are to be asked to estsblish a laboratory for the development of the remedy here. The outcome will be awaited with anxious Interest by every one who fully understands how much is at stake. Diphtheria is the most malignant member of a small group of contagious diseases (the other members being sciriet fever, measles and whooping cough) whose virulence is in a measure masked by their very familarity. These diseases are never altogether absent from centers of population. Year by year they ciuse thousands of deaths, yet their presence excites little popular comment. They are responsible for the death of every sixth child under 5 years of age and every twelfth person of any age who dies in New York City. In the decude 1882-1891 this quartet of dis cases claimed 86,042 victims in that clty. During the same period those dreaded dis- cases, smallpox, typhus fever and cholera, killed but 663. Two years ago there was much ado because typhus fever seemed to have gained a foothcld in the city. Thst much-heralded disease caused forty doaths; diphtheria, unheralded, 1,436. t year there was no little apprehension in some quarters beciuse smalipox was mildly epidemic In the city, claming a few victims who by their folly or ignorance had invited it. Yet the smallpcx, during the decade 1883-1892, caused only 335 deaths in the city; diphtheria caused 15,006, Thanks to sanitary science, typhus may be held 2t bay. Thanks to. Jenner, the terrors of smallpox are only traditional. But the terrors of diphtheria are siill real and ever-present. For soxe years, however, medical seience has looked forward hopefully to the conquest of diphtheria. Ten years ago the bacillus that causes the disease was discovered. The bacilli—lodged in the throat, as a rule—pro- duce ptomaines or other toxines, that enter the circulation and poison the system. These toxines may be developed in media other than the human body, and “‘attenuated” by eculti- vation. Experiments of some years' standing prove that attenuated virus, injected into thé circulation of animals in varying strengths, produces diphtheria of varying degrees of virulence, and that such virus may even cure diphtheria previously estab- lished. It remained to make the application to the human subject. Appurently this has now been done, and If the reports are to be eradited, diphtheria will soon take its place beside smallpox and hydrophobia behind the vietorious chariot of pr:ventative medicine Meantime, a word of caution may not be amiss. In their laudable anxiety to benefit the race, workers in this, as in other fields, metimes let the'r imagination outstep their actual achlevements. It was so,a few years ago, when the public was led to believe that & sure cure for tuberculosis had been dis- covered, whereas, in reality, only an im- portant, not a final, step toward such a dis- covery had been made. The originator of the new diphtheria remedy is the same Dr. Koch who developed tuberculin, Dr. Koch is a scientist of scientists. Tuberculin was a disappolntment, not because its dis- coyerer claimed tog. much for it, but be- cause his followers claimed more than the mister thought of claiming.It is to be hoed that the same mistake will not be repeated with the present remedy. Let enthusiastic followers make sure that they are keeping step with ‘the originator of the remedy, and that they are not making us expect too much of it at first. There can be no question that the work of Dr. Koch and others with _the toxines of germ diseases 1s along right lines. In the end its results are sure. But we must be patient with tentative efforts. Should the diphtheria remedy do but half what is hoped for it, its value will still be inestimable. Even falling short of this, if it has any potency whatever, it will be, like tuberculin, an inspiring token of the time to come when preventative medi- cine will cope successtully with every con- tagious disease, vanquishing each one in turn by means of preventative. inoculations, as it has already vanquished smallpox. But the public cannot be expected to realize this, and the remedy which accomplishes less than is promised will be accounted a faillure, It is far better that little should be promised if there is the slightest question o what can be performed. In view of the lesson in elf-restraint that was taught the enthusi- ts by tuberculin, however, we are justified In hoping that nothing has been claimed for the diphtheria remedy that a trial of the remedy |tself will not immediately justify. In that event the origination of this remedy will easily take rank among the most im- portant discoveries of this generation, - . Court Cullings. ‘With the exception of Judges Hopewell and Walton, all of the members of the dis- trict bench were in their accustomed places yesterday, and they spent the time solely in tho interest of the attorneys, calling de- faults, entering motions and passing upon exparte matters and In a general way cleaning up the delayed business that had accumulated from the last term of court. Judge Keysor returned from his trip to Washington county, where he has been hold- ing the regular fall ek, and at once took up the work upon his docket, dispesing of several unimportant matters. In Judge Scott's court the city du case, with all of the attending issues, wa brought up for consideration, but owing the absence of Attorney Patrick, who repre- sents the garbage haulers, the case was con- tinued until one week from Monday. In the meantime the Board of Health will see to it that the dumping grounds at the foot of Poppleton avenue are kept In a geod con- Qition.

The ordinance recently introduced by Ceuncilman Elsasser providing for the sub- mission of a proposition to vote $200,000 in bonds for the construction of a municipal electric light plant has been indefinitely post- poned, pending the settlement of the Platte canal proposition. The introduction of the ordinance has aroused considerable interest in the question, however, and some figuring has been done with a view to ascertaining the probable expens> of corstruction of such a plant as would be necessary to suit the reguirements of the city. According to the figures of City Electrician Schurlg .the amount proposed to be voted would be {nsuffiént for the purpose and he is emphatically1in favor of delaying any affirmative action until the fate of the canal is settled. If tho canal should become a reality the electrie current would be avail- able ‘with but 'Mttle expense beyond that connected with 't placing of wires and poles, and the 'pxpensive steam plant that would have to be .constructed if the matter was taken up now would be altogethr un- necessary. The stcam plantieould net be put ‘n for 1 s than $75,000, as the very best compound condensing or triple expansion engines would b2 required to furnish the 2000-horse power necessary to run! the immense dynamos. But the line coustruction represents the most expensivefeature of the prosp ctive plant. At the 'present time there are not far from 275 miles 10f electric light wiving In the city. Al sorts of wWire Is used, run- ning from 00 to'No. 8, but No. 4 is the siz> generally, used. This wire costs $240 per mile, and, allowing an additional 5 per cent for sluck, makes the cost of the wire $250 per mile, or $65,750 for the entire plant. To this must be added the cost of placing it on the poles, which s about $45 per mile, or $12,375. The poles also constitute a heavy item of expense. It is estimated that there are about 1,700 poles in the city that are used ex- clusively for electric light wires. Most of these are fifty-foot poles, which cost §7 each, but in many cases sixty and sevenly foot poles are necessary and these run up as high as $20. The hauling and s-tting of the poles is at least $6 each and in some cases, where there is a tall pole to be so on a downtown corner, It Is nearly tw that sum. Taking the minimum estimate in each case the total cost of each pole after it is placed in position is $13.50, which; muliplied by 1,700, gives 50. ( It thus appears that the total cost of con- structing the line is $103,075, exciusive of th costly steam plant, dynamos, purchase o site and construction of building. Upon this showing the $200,000 named in the ordinancs would be wholly inadequate for the project and it Is the genezal sentiment that thp matter should be suffered to drop until the result of the vote on the canal proposition is assured The construction of the canal as cintem- plated would practically cut the cost of the electric light plant in two. Mr. Schurig says that the current by which the power was transmitted from the penstocks would con- stitute an alternating current which could be directly utilized in furnishing electric light, Consequently neither the engines, boilers nor dynamos would be required and much of the complicated and expensive elec- trical machinery would be dispensed with. The only machinery. required would be the converters and a switch-board at the power, house, which could be located at some poin in the central part of the city, thus simpli- {ying the circuits to a great extent and ef- fecting a material saving in power. Another valuable consideration {s cated, which consists in the fact that the wires entering bulldings need not be charged with the present high potential cur- rent, thus doing away with a_great deal of the danger of conflagration Each arc light requires a power of about fifty volts and by means of the converters the wires could be charged with just the current required for the number of lights in the building. In case the original alternating current was too strong it could be reduced and then in- creased whenever it was necessary or de- sirable by the converter system. It is be- lieved that the entire cost of the plant with the power from the canal would be less than' $150,000. PREPARING FOR THE ELECTIONS. indi- Hawall's Republican Government Expeeting Littie Opposition at the Polls. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 22.—The steamer Australla arrivea today from Honolulu bring- ing the following advices to the Associated press: HONOLULU, Sept. 15.—The coming elec- tlon, to be held*October 29, is creating con- siderable talk. _From present indications there will be Mttle opposition to gover ment candidates. Royalist nominations Lave not yet been made, though Paul Neumann, confidential adviser of the ex-queen, has been freely spokew of as a candidate for serator, One of the clauses of the new constitution s to the effect that all govern- ment officlals who have not taken the oath of alleglance to 'the republic by the 1st of September willisbe discharged. This rule will be carried out even to the exclusion ef wcmen school teachers, & few of whom would not give up their allegiance to Liliuokalani. A majority of the native office holders have taken the required oath, however, and stand pledged 4o support the present government One American, one Hnglish and three German men-of-war have been in Honolulu's harbor for the past week. The Germans left a few days ago and the Charleston de- parted yesterday for the scene of Corean war. The Hyacinthe, the English war shi leaves today for a short cruise. This has given birth to the usual royalist rumors of the queen’s restoration, but no belfef is ex- pressed by the government on any attempt teward rebellion.
