WHICH MIR, PLATT?

Every now and then MIR. Jennings, of
the New York Timss, has malicious
thrust at Congressman Platt." These
illusions have attracted some comment and
considerable inquiry from those who dc
not understand the secret malice which
inspires them. The question here is: 'Is
it Congressman Platt of Virginia." OF
Congressman Platt of New York; and
it is only another illustration of the dense
ignorance of the unnaturalized editor Of
the Times to see him pounding away at an
individual in such manner Us to make Il
impossible for the public to understand
exactly whom he means. which one of thu
two he seeks to affect. Did we not know
that the two Congressman referred to are
heightened gentlemen we should suspect
that one or both Of them had been indulg-
ing the editor of the Times at his favorite
pastime of poker" and had been winning
his money, which might possibly account
for these personal attacks. -r-

TIE MNZZLE QUESTION

The dogs and the doctors is again the
alliterative title of the theme of public COM
ment Our otherwise efficient Board Of
Health, having assaulted the dog question
with the usual result the dogs are triumph
ant the goats take heart the geese are
hopeful, while the cows and other ''domes.
tic animals chew the cud of expectant
relief, and the cats are fairly rampant with
JOY. The consequences of the failure of the
board to classify dogs as domestic animals,
it will be seen from this, are widely rami-
fed, and extend to the personnel, so to
speak, of the entire brute creation of the
District two-legged brutes alone excepted.
But the disturbance, SO joyous in its charac-
ter among the brutes, is not half so great as
that among the doctors themselves, over the
fact recently discovered that they have for
years arbitrarily compelled dogs and the
owners of dogs to submit to their imperious
dictation regarding simple matter oftaste.
1t seems that Prof Langston, the legal
lumlnary of the board, shedding few rays
of light upon the dark records of the past
proved to his contemporaries, the non-pro-
fessional Marbury, included. that the ordl-
nance requiring dogs to be muzzled does
not provide at which extremity Of the dog
the muzzle shall be attached. This mskes
O great difference in the force and effect Of
the law. The end of dog is an important
thing; in fact an importance which the
runaway ru1er uowu SCUM exempllfied by
exclaiming, when he heard the baying Of
hounds on his track, "those sounds are
musical, but am at the wrong end
of the dogs to enjoy them" OF
course the board were ignorant of this
forcible example of the difference;
but they were evidently appalled, at the
thoughts which the difference itself invol-
unfairly suggested. Suppose the muzzles
had been attached to the feet of the dogs
to tho fore feet or to the behind feet the
law would have been complied with; or
suppose 1t had been attached to the tails Of
the dogs-Ah | sublime sanitary thought ]
The direct and speedful locomotion Of the
canine race under the inspiration Of extra
neous caudal attachment always amuses the
boys and loafers of larger growth. 1t is the
duty of sanitarians to provide hcalthful
amusement for the people, and here was
direct violation of duty where the evident
provisions of law allowed, nay required.
these Solons to amuse tho people. However
much their discussions of this engrossing
topic may serve to amuse. the spectacle Of

regretting that they had compelled the dogs
to be muzzled by having muzzles placed
upon their muzzles, and muzzling them
without legal authority TO specify the ex-
tremity to be muzzled, the board laid tho

A HINT TO CANDIDATES

The editor of the Memphis Appeal is tired Of
this sort of thing, and says:
SIT costs the proprietors of the Appeal three
hundred dollars q day to publish the paper,
and we cannot see how aspirants for Office can
expect, at our expense, to use our columns to
aid them in getting an Office worth ten, fifteen,
or twenty thousand dollars per annum. II
there is an honor in the Office of Governor. or q
seat in the Legislature, Many Voters who
would confer this honor, should not seek to dc
90 at the expense of others, and must pay fol
the praise they lavish upon the men they
would exalt. The press has too long been

political aspirants, seeking high position
Editors have too long been the ladder, to be
kicked over by men who have secured Offices
which have enriched them. Candidates In
search of offices of honor or profit can find
access to our columns, but their ubiquitous
friend, MANY Voters cannot herald their
greatness, or extol their merits and virtues at
our expense"

A PRELATE ON CREMATION.

The Bishop of Manchester, England, recently
concecrated additional land for burial ground
in connection with the Church of st. Peters,
Halliwell, Bolton, and in the course Of his SER
mon referred to the subject of cremation. After
having referred to the present practice of dis
posing Of human bodies, the bishop said it had
been proposed by an eminent London physician
that, instead of burying our bodies In the
grounds practice which is said to entail san
itary mischief and q great loss Of valuable
land-we should burn dead bodies; and 1t was
now question of the cremation Of bodies, in
stead Of their interment. HO felt.a sort of
shudder at the idea Of burning the dead, and
yet the time might come when the idea would
have become familiar to their minds, and in a
hundred years or so 1t might perhaps become
the custom for bodies to be burned. People
who had believed In Immortality had in pre-
vious times burned the bodies of their dead.
The ancient Romans believed In immortality,
and yet they believed in burning the bodies Of
their dead. Cremation was certainly quite as
decent as the practice of interment for any
thing that he saw, and urns containing the
ashes of the dead were more picturesque than
COffins.

as Virginia product. We discussed 1t in
all its bearings. as the off-shoot of genealogi-
cal taint and as the result of sham Conserv-
atism, as evinced by the fact that members
Of the so-called Conservative party in that
State have been known to gamble. Not

the appearance of one or two cases of emo

Of this strange appearance, many of the
Conservative newspapers of the State have
attempted to scold US for introducing into
the article TO which we refer "the name of
an unfortunate gentleman who has just
been declared insane" etc., although
there is not particle of proof that Colonel
Mayo ever visited gambling houses. This
is sad. 1t Is particularly sad. because we
did not introduce Colonel Mayo's name, or
the name Of any other unfortunate gentle

THE FALL ELECTIONS IN CALI
FORNIA.

The Congressional election, under State
law, would not be held in California until
September, 1875; but the law of Congress
requiring uniformity of date in such cleo
tons fixes the time in November of the
present year. Although Congress has been
petitioned to release California from the ef-
feet of this latter law, II is probable that it
will not do SO, and preparations for the fall
campaign have been already begun.
The AItd Californian believes that all of
the four districts may return Democrats, be-
cause it is probable that the Dolly Warden
organization, 1. O., the Independents, may
make nominations which will result in ma
teIal detraction from the Republican
strength; but it does not hesitate to proph.
esy that in a square contest between Repub-
licans and Democrats, the latter will suffer
defeat in at least three Of them.
1t is to be hoped that the malcontents
will be satisfied with the disorganized con-
dition of political affairs that has already
resulted from their detection to the true
interests of the party. However much
they may seek Recommended reform per-
haps-they will fail to find it in the success
of the Democracy, which they assure by
their desertion from the Republican ranks.
If they have especial views regarding
topics of local significance, let them be sat-
isfed with efforts to assert their power
within the ranks of the party, and if they
fail in those efforts let them wait patiently
for another opportunity to assert them; but
under no circumstances should they allow
their support of such topics to endanger
the success of paramount party principle.
A Democratic administration at Washing
ton would assure them no relief and DEM
ocratic representation here so,long as a
Republican administration continues would
not be apt to serve their interests success
fully. There are many other sides to this
Dolly Warden movement, worthy of notice,
but we have briefly put those which seem
to us to be sufficient as an argument against
repetition of the late blunder in Con-
necticut.
Meanwhile we have the consolation of
knowing that the true Republicans of the
State arc fully alive to the dangers with
which they are surrounded. Their expe-
ricnce last year taught them to respect the
strength of the Independents, and it will be
their own fault if they are caught mapping
again, as they were last fall. 1t is only
necessary that they shall nominate good
men; men whose record is known and re-
spectcd, and to place themselves squarely
before the people on platforms based upon
pure principles to insure deserved success.
A little labor now by way of preparation
will do them great service.

THE attempt of the World to read the
Democratic Senators who voted for the
imitation bill out of the Democratic party,
and of the Herald to stigmatize. them as
dishonest officials, alike meet with the repro
baton of the Democratic journals OF the
South. The truth is that the finance ques'
ton is not one of paramount importance In
the opinion Of people who are beyond the
influence of the great money centres. While
no one disputes the possibility that the
country might be grievously injured by
tickle legislation on this subject, very
general impression prevails that the hue and
cry so lately raised against the Senate il
prompted by the selfish interests of Wall
street operators and their kindred plumber.

definite and stable action is required of Con.
gress without delay, but it also proves that

their former channels. What we want now

In all the questions which came out from
tho war against Paraguay have been al
ways those of generous victor and of o
loyal ally. After having settled all its own
standing questions with Paraguay, Brazil
has acted as good friend toward both Par
aguay and the Argentines, in doing its best
to bring peaceful settlement of the bitter
frontier quarrel existing between the two
parties. Paraguay has listened to the ad-
vice Of Brazil, and has granted to the Buenos
Ayres government as much as it could pos
sibly concede. But the Argentine preten-
tons seem to be never exhausted, and the
question is not yet settled. The Argentines
have for a long while made warlike prepare
tions which threaten Paraguayan independ-
ence. Brazil. it seems, ought to protect
this independence; and it has not forgotten
its duty, for we hear that the Brazilians are
also making war preparations. after they
had ascertained the threatening attitude OF
the Buenos Ayres government. If the lat
ter is not wise enough TO respect the rights
of the neighboring smaller republics, like
Paraguay and Uruguay, it will be nearly
an inpossibiity TO avoid a general war in
the region or La Plata.

THE RIVER PLATTE AND PARA
GUAY4N QUESTION:

According to the latest dispatches, the
work so noblY undertaken by our Ameri-
can diplomacy in favor Of sister Republic
IN South America is in danger of being
destroyed. As early as 1872 the Secre-
tary of State wrote under date of April
10, to our minister at Buenos Ayres: "This
Department has reason to apprehend that
"the foreboding of many, at the close of
"the late war against President Lopez, of
Paraguay. that the allies would extin-
"guish an independent Government,
"thereby absorbing the territory of that
Republic, are about to be realized. I" And
Mr.. Fish added: at is believed, for the in
"terest of the United States, that Para
"guay should not lose its independence or
I" its territory"
Here is the whole question in nut shell,
and very clearly indicated. In accordance
with the traditions of the American Gov
eminent our Secretary of State saw that the
duty of our diplomacy In South America
was plain and self-indicated. On one hand
the Interests -s..- ,ss.,.scrvo- 10
keep open and free from any monopoly by
any Government the river Platte, its trib-
utaries and all this great huvial artery,
which connects the interior Of South Amer
lea with the Atlantic ocean. This free
navigation was always put in jeopardy by
the policy of the Argentine Republic; and
now more than ever, for if the Argentines
ever took possession-as they assumed to
do-of the island of Atass at the confu-
ence of the Parana and Paraguay rivers,
they would monopolize all the navigation
of the great South American rivers. On
the other hand, as was written by Mr..
White, our minister to Buenos Ayres, in
his dispatch of August 10, 1873 to Mr..
Fish, IL appears that Brazil prefers that
Paraguay should remain an independent
estate rather than be absorbed by an
"other Republic; and, adds Mr.. White.
"from conversation with representatives Of
"other South American Republics it would
appear that this sentiment is general"
or course, it Is q general, universal senti-
ment throughout South America thst the
Independence Of Paraguay should be main
tained. It Is said that the Argentine Re
public Is already very powerful and wealthy,
and that she possesses an immense territory,
which affords ample scope for the energy
[of hcr inhabitants. Besides that, there L
notthe slightest ground for the Argentines
to snatch by force tie Gran Chaco from the
Paraguayana The latter display, in al
this matter.l the greatest leniency; they ofel
