"Tho questions that are most deeply agi-

coming here and discussing the municipal
Problem Is not to rescue your city. You will
have to do that yourself.
"Now. whether the corruption that has

that shows itself prominently In the matter
of election frauds , or In that of blaclunal-
lug . or In that of city contracts , or In that of

In doing anything unless you are prepared to

quite as racking to the system as chronic In-

until they ! , or till Chicago Is redeemed , ?
That Is what will do I , ali It Is thin only
thing that will do it. You will have to
take your life In your hand and your comfort -
fort and your ease In your hands and con-
quor n victory step by stell. There Is no
cal for the dilettante or the dude. He-
Corm clubs arc numerous and they have
large enrolments , but somehow they do not
succeed In saving their city. There Is no
short cut to municipal salvation. You can-
not win It by the prestige or the wealth
of reform organizatons , municipal leagues ,
civic clubs or by whatever other name Ihe
institution may be distnguished , You wi
a"al nothing except to the degree that you
fling your personality and , nil thaI I stands
for directly agaInst the oncoming tide of
evil , even at the risk of being inundated
and swamped by it. I this language Is
more strenuous than fits Into your predilections -

for it , for I eamo here at your bidding not
my own l you have any object In life
that means more to you than the redemp-
ton of Chicago I would counsel you to keep
out of the municipal regeneration business
I Is to be gone at In the same way as that
In which the Dutch saved Holland and our
revolutionary fathers enfranchised America.
REFORM IS AN EXPENSIVE LUXURY.
"You have got to pay for the thing all I
Is worth , and you have got to pay for 1 : In
the expensive coin of your own personal
tissue . There Is nothing funny abut It. You
will nol live any longer for It. You will not
rest better nights nor eat with a better ap-
petite daytimes. I 4s feasible but the clr- '
cumstances are a good deal what they were
In the old days when the children at Israel
wanted to reach the promlsel land There
were the Anaklms , and they would have to
bo met and beaten down , and there was no
fancy device for doIng that except to club
them down ; and that they had no grit for ,
and 10 they wasted thirty-eight years zigzagging -
zapglng through the wilderness. But post-
"pone It as they might , the pinch came , ali the
Anakhns had to bo met. You may zig-
zag as they did , and Cod on manna till you
are worn Into your grave as they were , but
you or your children cannot escape the In-
evitable. I Is a -ong , bitter square fight
that will bo the means at giving Into your
hands" a city that you can generously b
proud at , and If you do not do It , somebody
will have to , or your city will go utterly to
the bad and sway the whole country along
with It.
"Tho movement with you will not be a
question of numbers though. The influences -
ences that shape national or municipal
destiny are not arithmetical . I has always
ben the case that the largest results have
ben achieve In the first Instance by small
minorities. GOne man shall chase a thousand , '
Is just as true hero al 1 was In the days
ot Israel l I knew that there were ten
men In all this city with good beads honest
hearts Indomitable pluck and thoroughly ap-
precatve oC the situation , that were
prepared to lay themselves upon the munich-
pal altar , with the same steady eyed un-
reserve with whIch Savonarola gave himself
to the world , there Is i nothing on earth or
In hell that could defeat you. That Is tie
principle upon which history has always
been administered , and In all likelihood al-
ways will be.
SIDE ISSUES MUST DE AVOIDED.
"It Is quite closely akin to that to say that
If you arc going to do thorough work you
wi have to be most punctilious In avoiding
alt side bsues. Whatever the movement
with which I lave ben associate In New
York has been able to accomplish bas bon
duo to the fact that wo have kept to a
straight line and have refused to ba side-
tracked. The one object wo had In view was
the breaking down of Tammany hal by
showing the collusion between 'fammany's
police department and the criminals. We
simply wanted I goo city government ad-
mini tared on business principles and con-
ducted according to the requirements of the
ten commandments , anti every other consid-
eraton had to go by the board.
"The I\ersonal investigation of disorderly
houses with which , In February of 1892 , the
movement was Initiated , was not a crusade
against disorderly houses , but against Tam- ;
many's vlclo\ls methods at protecting and encouraging -
couraging .dlsorderly houses. I was Tam-
many we were after , antI not the disrepu-
table women with which Tammany had capitalized -
Ialzed Itself : Ruth all the hypocritical cures
heaped uJon us by the police commissioners
and Tammany chiefs for persecuting the
poor , frail unfortunates , was unmitigated
rot , and known by the police officials to bo
such . Wo hal no Interest In the social evil ,
no more did we have Interest In the gam-
blng evil or In the violation oC excise Those
were slmilly three points at which we tried
to jab our daggers Into Tammany's vitals ,
and wo jabbed It , we did We tried to show
not that crimes existed and ought to bo
broken UII , but that Tammany was working
In with the criminals and that therefore
Tammany ought to be broken up And wo
did show 1 ; at least wo began to and the
I.exow commlteo finished It up.
"And 1 want to tel you that all the prom-
Inenco that was given by Tammany officials
and their frlenlls to the Work done hy our
society In connection with disorderly houses
was done for the purpose of confusing the
Issue , shifting the attention from thel8elvos
to us . and working our activity as a kind at
moral umbrella to ward or the dropping
storm from their own unprotected heads.
Tammany journals obfuscated the all with
such religious consecutiveness that It was a
good while before the Issue became clear ;
bllt when It became clear , the people wore
with us , anll are there today , So that when
reporters came to mo to ask my opinion al
to the proper method at dealing with the
social evil , I told them to go home and mind
their buslness-r words to that effect.
WARY O l'OLITIO.\NS.
"I speak of all this because too much consideration -
sideraton cannot bo given to tie matter of
working with nn eye single to one end I Is
Imlloslble to do two things at the same time
and halt do either of them. And there Is
nothing that has come nearer to making u.
profane ( hat I. , the clerical memberB of our
society ) than the attempt to Import Into the
crusade Iioltci and partisan conslderu.
tions . Whatever advances wo have male In
my own city , wo have arrived at that polnt-
at least the rank and file of our citizens have
-where we want the administration kept
untouched by the taint at politicians . There
11 no republican and no democrat In the ten
commandments ; no republican and no demo-
crt In business . So that pQllc Is 18 much

a municipality Rlin the honorable and .uc-
ceufll administration of a bank or manu-
factory New York ,1 hover be adDllnl.-
ter.d honestly , economically and . effectively
until I Is swept clean of politics and pollti.
clans. And the same Is true ot Chicago and
over ) other city.
"Our movement , then , has had no partl.
lanshlp In It And no sectarianism In It An
al round man Is bigger than either party ,
and the decalogue Is a broad a Protest-
antsm , Catholicism and Judaism all placed
alongside each other. You will not elm-
mate municipal corruption till you decide
that the exclusive qualifications for official
positions are intelligence , adaptedn antI
honesty. Such a condition at thing would
be purgatory to the politician , and chronic
crucifixion to the 'bosses ' Hut It Is meat ,
drink anti no end of dessert to the rest of us
"When I came time to make up the slates
lat summer the party leaders beat their
Irums : till the ground shook , all the party
organs worked their diapasons till the sea
roared , but the people called them ( hewn
and ground their heel Into all political fooling .

York as ho would run any other buslness-
In the Interests at decency and the stockholders -
holders "

that has come Into my hall ! to be used ns
'polnters' In shaping my address to you this
evening , considerable his been said about

ROW SERUM IS DEVELOPED.
The cthods "urAued to Obtain the Dlph
therlto Specific .
The new treatment of dlphthcrla Is a prac-
lcal application . oC the latest advances of
experimental bacteriology , says Harper's
Weekly. The jeneral facts upon which it I Is
based arc briefly these : Certain bacteria ,
when developing In the organism of an animal - ;
mal or man , produce an albnmlnold poison :
called a toxlne which , circulating II the
blood , causes disease For example , , the
Khebs-Loefher bacillus , growing In the throat
of a child , generates a toxlno that produces
the systemic condllcn called diphtheria
I soma ot these bacteria bo removed from
tIme organism and placed In artificial media ,
such a broth , under proper conltons , they
wi grow and multiply and produce the same
toxlno us beCore. This toxinI may now be
separated from the bacterIa by filtration ,
and If introduced Into an organIsm by In-
oculatiomi It will produce the disease ns readily .
Iy as I I had ben formed In the organIsm
lint the virulence of the disease tItus pro-
duced will vary with the quantity of the
toxlne injected Moreover , If the Irst lose
given Is so somali as to produce only slght
illness , a larger quantity may bo Introduced
n few days later without producing a corro-
prollncng
spondlng effect , and progressively larger
doses may bo allmlnlstorcd from lmo to time
until at last the animal receives wih Im
punity doses Ilny times larger tItan could
possibly be borne at iirst.
In the case of the diphtheria toxlne , for
example ( obtained , us has been said , by
growing the diphtheria bacillus In meat
broth ) , If fifteen drops oC the filtrate contain-
lug time toxlno he Injected Into a vein of a
horse , the animal wil be severely Poisoned
Dut by repeating the injection from time to
time In progressing doses , at tIme end of three
or four monlhs the animal wI bear a dose
of 200 times the original quantity. In other
words , the animal has become Immune to
the disease.
I now a vein ot the Immune animal bo
opened and sonic blood withdrawn , the serum
of that blood ( the other constituents being
removed ) may be Injected Into the system of
another animal or human being without ill
effect , and the animal or human being thus
Inoculated becomes Immune to the dIsease , In
virtue of the inoculation. More than that , If
time organism Inoculated had alreadY acquired
the disease , the inoculation , within reasonable -
able lImits , Is curative. For example. If a
child has been exposed to diphtheria , Inoculation -
lalon with the serum at a horse rendered
Immune to diphtheria a above described will
prevent the development of the disease At
1 later stage inoculation tends to cure the
disease
These are tIme facts a applied In the new
serUm treatment of diphheria.

tco of the upreme ou'rt' ot lCnnsas , Bought
light on questions of < lrrent Interest , and
naturally turned toward the press for the
desired illuniinant . The following note was
adoessed by him to various editor :
Wi you please favor the public through
your columns with your views on the following -
Ing questions ?
1. Arc the existing concentrations of vast
wcalh lu the hnnds of individuals either unjust -
just or detrlmentnl to the public welfare ? I
you answer yes , what remedy do you pro-
pose ?
2. How much Is annually Iltld to cit-
zens of foreign countries for Interest , dlvl-
.Iends , rents and profits on investments In
the United States 1 Will the public Interest
be best promotell by an Increase or retimic-
ton at this annual payment ? 10w would
you bring about the change you favor ?
Of the prominent journals which responded
to the request , the opinions at a few will be
found instructive anti interesting. The Now
York Sun SAYS :
1. The existing concentrations of vast
wealth arc not unjust or detrimental. On
the contrary , they are good , useful , all pro-
motv of social Ilrogre s ,
2. We don't know , and we don't care par-

for would be to pay all our debts In full

The New York Evening Post replies In detail -
tai , as follows :
Wo print elsewhere an interrogatory com-
municaton from a ICanms Judge , which be-
gins by asking whethtr "the exIsting can-
centrlons of vast wealh In the haUls of mdi-
vtduals are unjust ? " The answer to this de-
pells on the meaning we alach to the word
' 'justIce. ' ' I we mean , "la\e ni these con-
centrtons . of vast wealth been lawfully 1I

cases probably not. But this Is as true of
smimall fortunes as of large. I is . In a measure ,
true or all prollerly. A large 11roporton of all

words , "unjustly. " The object of elmurcimes

The vIews of New England arc reflected by
the Sprlngfohl , Mass" , Republican as fol-
lows ;
I b- "unjust" Is meant the ncqnlrement
of these large fortnes through fraud , or the
operation of unequal and unjust laws we
should have to say that some all probably
much of the existing concentratIon of wealth
these large
Is unjust. low many of
forlnnes have been acquired , for example ,
through the cmmmpioynieimt by railway managers -
agers of Insiio knowlelge of time company's
affairs In stock speculation ? Quito a num-
ber. low maim ) ' through time promotion by

which ts now admitted by the New York
Trlbnne.
These arc a few conspicuous causes or
many large fortunes acquired by fraud or
through the operation of unjust laws. Time I
list could be extended , but this Is enough.
We would propose as n remedy time repeal
of time unjust laws. the close public restric-

Are those fortunes detrimental to the public
welfare ? That depends A French economist
gives us the best answer : "Tho greatest
fortune that can be Imlglned , It It Is time
product of labor wihout fraud or violence ,
Is an Increase of wealth and a benefit to
society Time smallest fortune whlcb Is the
result ot fraud or vlolenco Is a public
scandal. " And time same may be said of
fortunes . springing from palpably unjust laws '
A university built up from n Standard entrust
trust fortune or a Pacifc railroad fortune
cannot overcome the evil at Its getting.
Such wealth arouses popular discontent anti
corrupts publc morals On the other hand
