To bo uro the remedy is scarce and it is disputed whether it will prove eflica-clmi- s in the cure of consumption, but the prcpondering weight of medical Authority is in furor of it and at least some casus of tuberculosis hiive been successfully treated with it. Whether tho cure is permanent or not Is im ma-terial just now as no physician can hes-itate to use the lymph Inst it benelits might proyo but temporary. In Denver the new remedy has been introduced, and ft reputa-tion awaits the doctor who shall do the same thing in S lit Lake city. There is no sense in waiting for tho east to atari consumption schools in which to in-struct practitioners how to administer tho medicine while the disease is carry-ing oft victims every day We under-stand there is no truth in the wild stor-ies us to tho cost of the lymph, and rumors thitt the government w ill sub-ject it to duty, A physician Is reported to have said that every drop of the lymph is worth $1,300. That is either waggery or extrava-gance. The lymph sell in Berlin for ft per gramme, and in this gramme there is enough for 1,000 inoculations. It will bo seen that the beneficent remedy is thus within the reach of all, and the ailing should wait with patience, and hope. THE LYMPH IN SALT LAKE. Our surgeons and physicians would probably resent an imputation that they are not abreast with the medical progress of the times, and yet we see no effort made on. the part of any society or individuals to test the virtue i . PARNELL IN IRELAND. A hero who sneaks down back stairs anil climbs down lire escape in his illi-cit love ttcrapes; who heads street mobs and lights for tho possession of property to which he has no light or title, wiil cease to cut a very grand figure in his-tory. Parnell is rapidly becoming the Houbiuger of Ireland. For u time it looked as if that Frenchman were go-ing to sweep everything before him; but his intrigues and sly escapade with petticoats, his falsehoods and his gen-eral ridiculousness collapsed him like a bursted balloon. Detroit Journal. A good many friends of homo rule describe Parnell as insane. lint what must we think of tho capacity of people for s or, what is much the same thing, of the chance of attain-sel- f govcrnmuiit, by a people with whom this lunatic "is the hero of the hour, while his censors are tho objects of popular hatred that has just stopped short of violence? New York Times. From the way Irishmen nre acting over Parnell's liligal action' In the Emerald Isle, it would seem they nre more rip for revolution than home rulo. A people that blindly worships a leader, right or wrong, is a good ways from the proner condition for Tne "uncrowned king" is a deal of a humbug and demagogue. Milwaukee Sontinel. Parnell's persistency in seizing and controlling United Ireland again reo-ord- s the desperation to which the man is unven in an ettort to enchance nis own personal fortunes. Throttling a publication and diverting its influence to selfish ends is iu strange contract with the boasted advocacy of freeeom of speech. Terre Haute News. "As Dublin feels tonight Ireland will feel tomorrow," said Mr. Parnell in his speech. Maybe so. If Mr. Parnell speak truly, it will matter little to the outside world how Ireland feels. If Ireland submits to the bulldozing of au autocratic, libertine, she can paddle her own canoe. Memphis Appeal-Avalanch- Mr. Parnell is making it extremely livelp in Ireland. Tho forces as yet are only gathering and the shock of war is yet to eoruo. But it is good betting that the leader will have to go. The attack on United Ireland offce will have far reaching consequences as far as the press is concerned. Toronto Xews. Parnell is still strong with the Irish voters, but all Americans almit that his continuance in the leadership will weaken his party. Had he retired im-mediately after his ignominious defeat in the O'ishea case he would have been returned triumphantly within a year. Butte Miuer. The church and the Irish leaders are against Paraell, but ho evidently still retains a large measure of his popular-ity among the Irish people. As a con-sequence, there is likely to be a split in the Irish parly and a lamentable failure of the home rule movement. Kmporia Republican. Parnell's roccption in Ireland is re-markable, indeed, but it does not change his status in the regard of unprejudiced civilization. He is unlit to hold the nationalist party in parliament, aud he owes it to decency to retire from the prominence of leadership Bay City Tribune. The scene of war between Parnell ami his opponer.t has been transferred to Inland awly has assumed a knock-down Jtiie dra-ou- t phase. It is a great pitvfai'' V advocates of home rule arc avi lly trying to demonstrate they i A A fitted for it.

As Mr. piVueVttQtta large majority of fhe capita? stock of United Irelend, it Would seem olear that he has a right to dictate its editoriil policy. Under the circumstances the surprising thing is that the paper attacked him in the first place. Boston Globe. The dispute between the two Irish factions has been referred to the Irish neople for settlement. It is their affair. It w ould be a wise thing for the friends of Ireland ant) for Irishmen in America to wait with patience tho popular ver-dict. Philadelphia Record. If Parnell's methods in Dublin are a sample of what may be expected when the uncrowned king is really crowned, Ireland will pay an extortionate price for substituting political tyranny for tory coercion. Omaha Bee. Parnell opened the United Ireland office with a crowbar yesterday morn-ing and regained possession of the paper; and now "the man who wants to seo the editor" has to whistle through tho keyhole. Wheeling Kegtisor. Mr. Parnell's escapado may have withdrawn some English support, but there is no mistaking the temper of the people of Ireland. Almost unanimously they are with their tried leader. Toledo Bee. The advice of Gladstone to an audi-ence of English working people not to abandon Ireland on account of any-thing that had happened to an individ-ual, is liko the grand old man. Mobile Register. Parnell may be helping the home rule cause by calliug Gladstone the "(Jrand Old Spider," but it doesn't look sj at this distance. Buffalo Courier. It looks as though Mr. Parnell was rfoint? to pet the tiobtilar indorsement of Ireland in his stocking for Christmas. Rochester Herald. SENCE LITTLE WESLEY WENT.

There Is really no reason why the free coinage men should surrender an iota of their rights except on the broad ground of party loyalty. They aro in the majority and they are in the right, and they could therefore dictafo and enforce their demands, in congress at least, but would it not be at too grent a cost? Would it not be at the peril of splitting the republican party in twain ard compromising the administration which it has chosen? There was a timo when Wall street ex-ercised so potent an influence upon legislation and when tho voice of the west was so impotent In congress, that no silver bill favorable to this section had any chance of passing. It is differ-ent now; but is it prudent to use our advantage to the discomfiture of tho dominant party? Realizing our strength and beginning to comprehend our cause, the most persistent enemies of silver aro now relaxing their opposition and tendering a compromise that gives them the shadow and us the substance of the resulting benefit. A complete surrender involving tho faith of the ad-ministration cannot bo expected of them at once. Wo are moving toward the goal of free coinage with rapid strides; and it is not too great a sacri-fice to pause now and then for the stragglers to come ut) rather than lose them entirely. That wouldn't be politics. The gravity of the situation is realized by those having tho best interests of the party at heart and whose patriotism prepares them for any sacrifice Thus the New York Mail and Kxpress. hith-erto a gi)ld paper, says: "No senate committee for many years past has had devolved on it such a fearful load of responsibility to the coun-try as that, which Is now anxiously considering all tho expedients for ad-justing the currency to tho demands of trade, now immensely larger and more pressing than they were ten years ngo. All the republican senators are united as regards the imperious necessity for speedy and effectual action. Unless it is had before the session closes tho dangers of financial trouble all over the country are greater than they have been since the panic of 187;) swept the land like a cyclone, and should these doubles come the republican party will be held responsible1, and its defeat in 1H!I' would be crushing aud might bo irretrievable. Tho republican senators who have de-manded freo coinage of silver should be satisfied with tho liberal concessions that have been made by this adminis-tration. These concessions provide for the purchase of all the silver product of American mines that can bo offered for many years to como. Within a few years our g iverument is likely to come loan agreement with tho European governments, if not with Oreat Britain, as to the exact relations between silver and gold. And in Oreat Briuin the bimelallists nre gaining ground con-stantly ami will finally win. Concession aud compromise have been esential to all legislation for a country so great as this and with so mauy rival, if not conflicting, interests to reconcile. The east is not hostile, but friendly, to the interests of the western states that so earnestly demand freo silver ooinnge. The west requires vast volumes of eastern money for the development of .its vast natural re-sources, and the condition of eastern aid is a financial system that will sup-ld-the country with abundant cur-rency without endangering tho with-drawal of gold from circulation and paralyzing our trade with the rest of the world. We trust that the republican majori-ty in congress will recogni.o the sol-emnity and tho pressing nature of the financial emergency that has only bee delayed by the struggle aud of New York banks, which have saved the nation from a panic that would have brought calamity aud ruin to every city and town in the land, that would have paralyzed enterprise, that would have stopped the development of the west, and that might have brought in Its train riot and disorders of the most appalling character. Tho dangers havo been greatly lessened. They can be postponod for a long series of prosperous years for all sections of the union, if largo views and the dis-position to make necessary conces-sions prevail with the responsible ma-jority. t v..

F.niToiior Tits Timks; With due regard for your paier I beii to tender you my pity for thecuptlousness you display In Its columns reardtnit Mr. Parnell. Your slura and prejudice against that (rreat ami ood man are more worthy the lmrrate Healy, whom he raised from a kIutu Into prominence, than a pa)er whose many sub-scribers you are Insulting. Parnell will enter the next parliament with as strotiK and a more faithful band than ever, and will wring from the tories what the liber-als will be powerless to grant. I rnttht dilute on this subject were I tn e I would not Intrude on your time. Sufficient to say that y. nr readers need not look across the ocean for "Kilkenny cat lights;" they can llnd plenty of them here In frt e America. And let me here exhort you. sir, to remember the words of the Master when he stood by Ma -- Let him who is (utlltlesg cast the tirst stone." Respctfully. Thomas MoONir." The Times casts no slurs upon, and has no prejudice against Parnell. It simply insists as a consistent advocate of homo rule for Ireland that with the existing objections to his leadership Parnell might to retire. Does Mr. Mooney indict with "the ingrate Healy" the forty odd Irish nationalists who deserted rarnell, and the Catholio clergy with Archbishop Walsh at the head who pronounced against him? Docs ho believe that any man however great and good should stand in the wav of Ireland's freedom? Parnell's moral lapse would not bo so conspiouous were his leadership not so conspicuous. Ho has erred not only in betraying a woman, but also a friend, and after that it is perhaps too much to expect of him to show the resignation of a man aud do penance in private. A Llltle Lepruty Scare. Idaho Avalanche. Quite a Uttlo breeze was stirred up in town this week over the supposed dis-covery of a case of leprosy, alllictinga Chinaman at one of the mines. The Chinaman was arrested and the Case discussed by everybody in town. An examination by Dr. Weston, the county physician, proved it to be another char-acter of loathsome disease with which the roan was afflicted. The town is at the present time, happily, without a lawyer, but there was no dearth of legal opinions, nevertheless, as to how this case should be disposed of. One man, learned in the law, wanted to take poor Chinaman out and drown him, while sev-eral others gave equally absurd advice. A search of tho statutes of Idaho failed to disclose any provisions for a cati of this character. A law should be euacted especially prescrib-ing what should bo done by the author-ities in case a real leper should be found. The bad lauds of Dakota are having a boom. They are all being taken up. Snow blocks travel in tho east. The fog this morning tried to effect tho same thing in this city. Col. Bfffalo Bill is holding him-self in readiness to march with the Ne-braska militia against the common enemy. It will be remembered that prohibition was boateu in that state by 40,000 majority. Tauor is one of a party who will test the free coinage question. He will present a bar of silver to the treasury department and demand coin for it. This will be refused and the case will be taken to court. Mills aud Wheat. A a nooaa Cour.'er. When it was seen how large a mill was being put up in Alaiuoosa, many men shook their heads and declared there was not wheat enough in tho val-ley to keep it running. The mill is now running day and uight, a surplus of about 2".0l)0 husliels is already in the elevator, and still the grain comes in faster than the company can handle it. Fivo hundred bushels a day is com-ing in from the Excelsior farm and will continue at the same rate until oO.O'lO bushels have been hauled, and several cars come in every day from San Luis and Fort Garland. Besides this the farmers wra in early and late with wagon load.s. Toskiht Signor Sucei's fast comes to an end. He will be ready for a com-plimentary dinner. Another plot against tho czar's life has been discovered. He has nearly as h ard a timo of it in Russia as the Jews. The Omaha Bee thinks the negotia-tions for a settlement of the seal fish-eries dispute give little promise of an early agreement. While both sides agree to submit the question to arbitra-tion, there is a radical difference as to details, the English envoy demanding privileges pending the sitting of the ar-bitration commissioners which Secre-tary Rlaine vigorously refuse to con; cede. It is now probablo that the will be submitted to con-gress, with a view to securing its opin-ion on the stand taken by the state de-partment. The efficacy of prayer was demon-str.tte- d In ..Kansas .where a minister " '"' ' preached to a jury that could not agree with the result that it brought in a verdict. Onold and Union I'aclfio. Chicago News. ' A an example of the "reforms" which the Gould management is going to establish in tho Union Pacilio is fur-nished by its ooutiuued discharge of men from tfie employ of that company. It was very well kuown that, under the Adams management, the road had its facilities fully taxed, and Mr. Adams was trying to increase the value of tho property by increasing its facilities. Mr. Gould is evidently willing to reform this policy altogether, and repeat the course of the Central Pacific manage-ment by letting the Union Pacific go to pieces while the Missouri Pacific does all the business. If Mexico is anxious for reciprocity with the United States as reported, the United States are willing to allay the anxiety of her neighbor. We will re-ciprocate. The New York Staats Zeifung, a German daily, was sold yesterday for f 1,000,000. When Ottendovfer founded it ho probably never expected to raise its value to that many cents. " INSIGHT.

Ruined Ky Hlg Crops. Idaho Avalanche. The enormous crops of wheat raised iu the Palouso country in North Idaho and Washington, is almost proving the ruin of farmers there. Every elevator along the line of the Northern Pacific railroad is full and .great piles of sacks of wheat are covered in with boards at all the stations in tho wheat growing section. All the elevators on the sound are full, and not one-thir- enough ves-sels can be chartered to arrive this win-ter to carry off tho surplus. The farm-ers who are unable to carry their wheat are either paving exhorbitant rates of interest to hold or are selling at a great sacrifice. ' Rooaevelt'a Savannah News. Reformer Roosevelt, of the civil ser-vice commission, who chipped in toO for the funeral exponses of tho lato shaking up, in his voluminous report virtually expresses perfect confidence in himself, and a high degree of satis-faction with his great abilities and ju-dicial fairness. AN IMPROPER ATTACK. It is scarcely proper for a minister of the gospel to attack the reputation of a dad soldier while preaching the fu-neral sermon over another, and the Rev. Mr. Munger was clearly wrong in assailing the memory of General Custer while eulogizing that of General Terry. It was all tho more uncalled for as the subject of his eulogy had been silent all his days upon the short-comings of Custer, however much this chanty towards a dead comrade might be misconstrued and reflect upon him-self. General Custer was a headstrong, im-petuous soldier. He was insubordinate at West Point, aud but for the exigen-cies of the war would probably have been expelled from the military acad-emy. In the army he was never pop-ular and at one time be was tried by general court martial and suspended from duty for assuming a power he did not possess in sentencing a number of deserters to be shot and executing the sentence.without the approval of higher authority. Any other officer less re-nowned would have been cashiered and disgraced for a crimo not half so hein-ous. There is no doubt the massace of Custer's command was due to his in- - ordinate ambition. He wanted to carry oil' the glory for crushing Sitting Bull when the task had been assigned jointly to him with Crook and Gibbon, boih his seniors, by Terry. However, he is dead, and his cool courage and splendid fighting qualities, as well as his brilliant achievements in the war of the rebellion, earn for him that delicate consideration w hich Gen-eral Terry had and the Rev. Mr. Mun-ger so rudely swept aside. Mr. Parnell' Head. New York World. Parnell seems to be losing his head, aud at the same time hurting Ireland's cause. It could do neither himself nor the cause he is championing any good to call Mr. Gladstone "a garrulous old gentleman," and it must antagonize the Tatter's friends. Mr. Gladstone is a bigger man than Mr. Parnell, and to throw stones at greatness is bad busi-ness. The light of Asia is shining in Japan. The opening of the first legislature marks the progress of liberal govern-ment in a direction least expected a generation ago. Some European coun-tries might take a lesson from enlight-ened Japan. Will Escape the Kales of Grammar, St. Joe Gazette, A child otherwise healthy and natur-al has been born without a sign of an eye. its lorenean extentls smoothly down to its nose. The child is fortunate in one respect. If it has no eyes it w ill never be obliged to wear them out learning the rules of grammar. Just Like a Woman. Pueblo Star. Kate Field defends and supports Par-nell iu her paper, but of course she has no use on earth for Mrs. O Shea. This Is Good Advice. i St. Joe Gazette. The face of a Christmas shopper would be a good deal less anxious, worn and despairing if its owner would decide what and where to buy before starting out. and then proceed to busi-ness. Dldn't Want to be Counted Out. Kansas Cliy Clobe. This is the way it is commented upon in Nebraska by the State Journal: "J. II. (iookwin of Ness county, Kansas, rushed to the county clerk and took the oath of office the moment his elec-tion to the legislature was assured. Then when the community gently broke into a horse laugh over his action he published a card explaining that it was necessary to take this precaution be-cause tho republicans were counting out so many representatives. The laugh is still putting in full time." Four very interesting struggles for scnatorship will open with tho new year. The first takes place in New Hampshire, the second in New York, the third in Illinois and tho fourth in Kansas AVe believe all but the second will result in the return of stanch re-publican members. We don't know how much solace the employes of the Union Pacific w ill de-rive from the declaration of General Manager Clark that ho intends making but few changes. If his past record is to be taken as a criterion for his future policy wo believe he will simplify the service, but outside of that he will not make any discharges. He is too old a railroad man to experiment as Adams did in that way. This la Worth Remembering, Kansas City Olobe. Even if we are not in the midst of a campaign, it is worth while to remem-ber that in a year and three quarters the republican administration has wiped out $210,000,000 of the public debt. All Sorts of Conditions. New York Herald. It takes all sorts of people to make up this little American world. But in De-troit the other day a Hebrew, an Afri-can and an Arab were all three arrested on complaint of a Chinaman. . Ilarrlsou's Right Hand Han, New York Sun. We record with satisfaction the re-turn to the white house of the Hon. Benjamin Harrison McKee, the fore-most young republican and the head of the administration. Xo other republi-can statesman, with tho exception of Gen. Harrison himself, enjoys so much of Gen. Harrison's confidence and esteem. With the return of (ten. Har-rison's most intimate and powerful political associate, a more determined policy may be looked for from the white lioue. An Annual Fake SL Joe Oazette.
