WILL ATTACK THE PLAGUE BRIEFLY TOLD. Mv i: lit MOVKMlAi Til ( III H r t, i ,1 ' MX. c ; i o ' i ' !. ' llcovery of a Heruni 'Which Acta as Protector And Preventive When I -jected Into the Veins. The losses of the American farmers by bog cholera are something' enor mous every year, and they will doubt less be as '"tilied as Secretary Wil son of the Department ol Agriculture is at the (uccen-t of experiment re cently pro-ecu i. d iokin to the dis cover of a !-)ocilic for the d' t addi-.-e.e, s.iys the Mia i.eupulis Tribune. These experiments have been carried on under his direction in Iowa and Nebraska during- the last few months and the aecretarj' thinks the discov eries made will bo worth $1,000,000 a year to the people of the United States. The ofllcial reports of results have not been published, but it ap pears that a cure is effected by the use of a serum, which t-erum also acts as a protector and preventive when injected into the veins of healthy ani mals. In the expsrlments in Iowa it is stated that 85 per cent of the sick were cured, and that in no instance has an animal contracted the disease, when exposed to it, after being in oculated. The serum is obtained in the same manner as that used in diphtheria. A horse or a cow is inoculated with the erermsand when its blood is "ripe" its veins are tapped and a few drops of the blood injected under the epider mis of the hogs. Curiously enough, it i3 claimed, the cultivation of the serum does not injure the horse or the cow, and the animal can be used for the purpose again and again. A sin gle animal will produce 1,000 doses of serum a year, and if economy is prac ticed, the cost of the treatment can be reduced to 10 to 20 cents per hog. This is good news not only to the farmers, but to the consumer. Pork, or soine of the products f the hog, forms tiie staple food of large maes of our people, and it is used to a greater or less extent by all classes. It would doubtless be eaten with greater freedom if all consumers could be relieved of the dread of eating diseased meat. Despite the claims made by some hygienists that pork is not a healthy diet, it is a fact that the conquering races of the world are those which use ir. liberally. One writer says that the English won at Waterloo because the allied forces had been fed the mornine of the battle on hog meat, while the Frencn break fasted on a little vegetable soup. How ever this mny be, pork-raising is one of our most important industries and the discovery of a specific for the dis ease that renders its profits at limes so uncertain, will be noihing less than a boon. A LAME ARGUMENT. Mi. Bry..n'a "O servuioi;s on Mex ico" a published in the New York Her.ild. iif:r some quite trite find eiemoniary recapitulations of Mexican history undertakes to grapple wiin the free silver coinage question as ex emplified in Mexico. He begins that discussion, say9 the State Journal, with the old story about how profita ble it is in Mexico to hire labor with silver money and sell the products of that labor to foreign countries for gold. Well, that is a big thing, but who manes the mouej? The laborer who gets his wages iu silver does not git the goid oi the foreigner ai any time and he is of course excluded from the wonderful advantage of the exchange It is eyident that the hated capitalist. the bloody plutocrat of Mexico, the corporations that exploit the cotton and the coffee and the mines and all the other things that are worked for a foreign trade, by hiring cheap labor and paying wages in cheap money and selling the product for good money, are the beneficiaries of tne system. Mr. Bryan then states that real es tate is rising and that wages are also rising in Mexico,but of course the poor man owns no real estate, that being wholly in the hand of the capitalists But he does not happen to think of the utility of any information to his fol lowers. He omits to give a figure or bttU ao LU biiU naD3 Buau out? ie?au. He gives some figures of the average wages of the farm hands in South Carolina, Georgia and other cheap labor states in this country, bu.t when we look farther down for a statement of the average wages of the farm hands and other laborers in Mexico, we are surprised te find that they are not in Mr. Bryan's observations. He forgot at the last moment to finish the comparison he was preparing for us. So it will be seen that Mr Bryan's observations are chiefly remarkable for those that he either omitted to "obr-erve" or forgot to record. INFORMATION l -..PINION. Havelock now has a system of water works and property owners of that place get relief in the way of a re duction in insurance rates. Havelock is putting on many metropolitan pirs. Edward B. Curtis, an old miner, be came interested in spirtuiists some time ago. He consulted one, who mapped out a course for him to follow. He did so, and in Gunnison county, Colorado, struck a deposit of gold which assays 6,000 to the ton. As a result the "Clairvoyant Gold Mining company" was formed, with a capital stock of $1,000,000, for the purpose of developing the claim. The annual meeting of the Ne braska Press association is in session at Lincoln, and "there is probably the largest aggregation of learned men in the capital city today there has been sithe close of the last legislature.
