It is questionable, however, whether the consumers will really get the benefit of this piece of governmental considera tion. The sugar refiners are all in a big combine—Sprcckles included, and it is for them to determine what the poor pulic shall pay for its sweetening. The consumption of sugar per capita in the United States is about fifty pounds a year. In Amerieus the con sumption would then be about .*100,000 pounds, and the saving at 2 cents a pound, which the consumer in justice should have, would make the $10,000. The Louisiana sugar crop is about 42/>,000,000 pounds, and has to meet the reduction, but the government com pensates for that by paying the domes tic producers of sugar a bounty of 2 cents a pound.

Tho people of Amerieus and of South west Georgia will be glad to learn that all doubt, if doubt there had been, of the early completion of the Savannah, Amerieus and Montgomery road to Montgomery, Ala., has been dispelled, and that trains will be running into that city within sixty days.

PKOFKSSOR KOCH'S LYMPH. A Berlin despatch on Wednesday stat ed that at the opening of the German Surgical Congress in that city Professor Bergmann read a report on the Kocli treatment, maintaining that tiie remedy is a specific for tuberculosis. The de spatch adds that the majority of the other speakers expressed less favorable views. Nevertheless, it should be un derstood that very few even of German physicians have hail such large oppor tunities for ascertaining tho value of tiie lymph as Professor Bergmann That tho lymph is not a specific, but a dangerous resort, in advanced cases of pulmonary tuberculosis seems to have been settled by the clinical tests already made. Professor Koch never claimed that it was available in the last stages consumption. But tho opinion of Dr. Bergmann, who certainly lias hod exceptional facilities for deter mining tho value of the new remedy, de serves tho most careful consideration. His view agrees with that of other physi cians who have had tiie best opportu nities of testing tuberculin, and whoso conclusion is entitled to more respect and weight than that of tlk.usauds < f other physicians, however eminent, who have had no large practical experience with tiie lymph in their own practice.
