THE SOUTHERN REPUBLICAN, CONVEN.

1t has been agreed, it seems, between Senator
Chandler and certain eminent and orthodox
statesmen whose names are withheld from an
anxious world, that Convention of Republ-
cans of the Southern States shall meet in
Atlanta on the 18th of October, to set forth
to the nation the true needs of the South, and
explain what has yet to be done for that un-
happy region before it is fully reconstructed.
A Convention called under such distinguished
auspices would be almost certain in any event
to embrace only the elect; but to make
assurance doubly sure it Is arranged
that, sowing to the short notice." the
delegates shall all be appointed by the State
Executive Committees. lThis will obviate the
danger of any unpleasantness resulting from
the admission of disagreeable persons not in
sympathy with the Republican policy in the
Southern States, and insure unanimous assent
to whatever measures may be proposed by the
leading spirits of the Convention. A Congress

However, while we do not seriously regret
the failure of this particular undertaking, we
cannot but regard with satisfaction the cir :
cumstance that the Congress was convened
and the necessity for an International Code
recognized by some of the strongest Govern
ments of Europe The provisions for regula-
ting intercourse among nations frequently
refer to two or three nations alone; frequently,
when relating to the nations of civilization In
common they are construed by publicists-and
especially by Governments of particular coun-
tries-to suit national exigencles. 30 lar as
the former class of rules are concerned, they
must probably remain as they now stand
But there are very many, possibly majority
of the rules of international Law proper, which
can be formed into one comprehensive code'
An undertaking to this end requires In It's De-
ginning the cooperation OF the most prominent
men of training in this department OF science
throughout the world. The project is not one
which can be executed with as much facility
as the Government at st. Petersburg seemed
to imagine. But, having once been devised and
digested in the manner we mention, the code,
which might then be proposed to congress
of delegates from all Governments, would De
free from the suspicion of promoting the IN
terested schemes of particular nations, and
have so much the greater prospect OF beng
adopted in practice.

Among the statements of the Department of
Parks there is one that calls for immediate
attention. Two bridges that cross the Harlem
River are in bad condition. The planking is
30 much out of repair that the Commissioners
say "it may give way at any moment" Here,
lben. is a case where the word of warning
has been given, and prompt work is needed.
We hope it may not be added to the list OF
instances where warnings are neglected till
rome serious accident arouses the community.
The reported decrease in the number OF
rases of diphtheria in Brooklyn is scarcely
sufficient to justify the hope that the fire.
uuency of the disease is declining. 1t is well
understood now that the spread of diphtheria,
ike that of cholera and smallpox, is result
OF defective sanitary precautions. Brompt
measures on the part OF health officers are
requisite in the tenement districts. This is a
case where philanthropy and self-interest walk
hand-in- hand. The better classes must, If
they would save their families from the
tcourge, see to it that the tenements of the
moor are not left in unaided squalOr. Whether
II ia vet advisable to establish separate hos
pitals for diphtheria and to carry out measures
of isolation such as are adopted with other
endemic diseases, the medical fraternity must
determine. But the thorough enforcement of
existing sanitary laws and the cleansing OF
localities likely to become centers of Infection
should be undertaken without further delay.

CAS- no Office was created for the sole bene-
eft of one person that he may live and enjoy
"its emoluments forever" says Mr.. Jacob
Ross in his letter to the Mayor published
herewith, 81 now reluctantly but consclen-
"tiously tender to you my resignation as Dog
Catcher of the Xth Assembly District" And
we undertake to say that Mr.. Jacob Ross Is q
phenomenal statesman. No statesman has re-
tired from the public service for any such
reason as he gives since time whereof the
memory of man runneth not to the contrary.
A considerable number of statesmen have re-
tired during the past two years, and some OF
them with scars-thOugh we do not now re-
call to mind any who boasted "35 separate
"and distinct" as Mr.. Jacob Ross does, but
no one before him has retired because he be-
lieved in the one-term principle. Thousands
of patient walters upon Providence are stand
ing around the doors of post-oflices and GUS
om-houses watching for some one to come
out who believes that ono office was created
"for the sole benefit of one person that he
"may live and enjoy its emoluments forever;'
but alas, he never, never comes. Jacob Ross
is the only statesman who rises to the Occa-
sion, and he is, or has been, the official Dog
Catcher of the Xth Assembly District. Jacob
Ross, we welcome you to the walks of private
life, and the post of honor which in times
like these is the private station.

The friends of ex-Auditor McIlrath will find
difficulty in sustaining that suspension OF
public opinion which he has asked for in
card, Gov. Davis having addressed letter to
the Attorney General of Minnesota requiring
immediate suits to be brought against the ex-
Auditor and his sureties The allegations OF
the letter are long and somewhat specific; a
fraudulent system of auditing is charged; |;
the money received for State timber
cut is said to exceed that paid to the Treas
urer by some $4,000; and there are
"certain stumpage transactions" which have
resulted in a loss to the State of $4,000.
Cooking accounts and withholding public
moneys may perhaps be explained to the sat
isfaction of all concerned, but with the best
good will possible to Mr.. McIlrath we must
admit that certain stumpage transactions" 4"
have an ugly sound. There are too many in
stances where they have "resulted in loss
I" to the State :" but we have never heard be-
fore of State endeavoring to recover such
losses at law.

" Speed the PIOtr.o
When to Blanket a Horse.

A correspondent of the Toledo Blade,
who from his signature protested to know
how 10 treat horse flesh, recommends
clipping, and his argument boiled down,
is, that the coat of the clipped horse be-
ing so much shorter than of the unclipped
horse, allows the horse wet with sweat to
become dry readily; while the long hair
retains the moisture and the horse takes
cold. This "lorseman' says:
suppose you have horse with a long
heavy coat, he is driven fast until sweat
ing profusely and his hair is wet stop
him and hitch him. put on his cover, and
let him stand for several hours; the skin
cools but the hair does not dry, and his
cover docs not dry it but increases the
dampness by keeping in the steam arising
from the eyaporating sweat; soon he COM
mences to shiver from head to foot, and
you are surprised to find him next morn
ing suffering from some throat disease"
Now that man who would teach others
how to handle horse does not know
even the rudiments of his calling-whcn
to blanket horse. A horse driven until
sweating should on stopping he allowed
to stand a short time, until his coat has
ceased smoking or steaming, before the
blanket is put on. Of course care should
be taken that the blanket be put on as
soon as the animal stops smoking, as it is
called, and then the blanket will do him
good, for it will remain dry and warm.
But put on when the horse is steaming,
it Immediately becomes very wet by the
evaporation from the horse and then is no
better than wet blanket. Few people
know properly how to blanket horse,
but horse teacher should not write such
understandable literature az is contained
in the above extract Cleceland Herald.

The Hired Girl.

There is one reason why we should re-
greet to have the present troubles with do
mestic servants ended. 1t is because wo-
men derive so much pleasure from discus
sing the subject. Place two women to-
gether, and it makes no difference where
the conversation starts from, it will be GER
tain to work around to the hired girl ques-
tion before many minutes have elapsed. We
have seen an elderly housekeeper, with ex-
perience i'll conducting the talk in the
right direction, break into discussion of
Pythagoras and the doctrine of the transmit
grafton of souls, and switch off the entire
debate with such expedition that an unso
phisticated listener would, for some mo-
ments have an indistinct impression that
the conversation referred to the insufiici-
ency of Pythagoras as washer and ironer,
and to the tendency Of that heather philo-
sopher to take two Thursdays out of every
week. And when a woman has an unusu-
ally villainous hired girl who burns up the
coal, wastes the butter, mixes her hair in
the biscuits and stuffs her relations with
the sugar, it is interesting to observe how
she glories in the superiority Of her suffer
ings to those of her neighbors, and how, as
she tells fthem, she gloats over her misery
and feels good about it. A woman who
has really competent servant is always in
condition of abject wretchedness on such
occasions.

LEAVES FOR BARN-YARD AND STABLE
Forest leaves are elegant to supply the sta
ble-yartls, and where straw is scarce, also
the cow stables and hog-pens. They can
be most conveniently gathered after the
first snow, or at least before the wintry
blasts have scattered them. They then lay
compactly, and being moist can be han
died with greater facility. A cart with
few standards stuck in the sides will hold
considerable quantity; and the best
thing to gather them or load them with is
q wooden mandrake; a wooden tourtined
straw fork is also very handy when the
leaves are moist. Leaves absorb large
quantities of the liquid manure and are an
excellent fertilizer in the spring. They
can be gathered, too, when other labor
about the farm is slack Germantoacn Tt}-

A Tickle Woman.

In 1749 occurred al cdd episode in Yves
ley's life. On one of his missionary jour
neys he had been taken sick at Newcastle,
where he was nursed by Grace Murray, one
of his female "helpers," a handsome, clever
widow of four and thirty, Wesley himself
being twelve years older. IIeasked her to
marry him. She seemed amazed, and re-
piled, "'This is too great u blessing, can't
tell how to believe it. This is all could
have wished under heaven" Wesley,
quite naturally, took this as formal be-
trothal, But Grace had not long before
nursed John Bennett, n Methodist preach
err, of about her own age and Wesley was
soon astoundcd by joint letter from Grace
and John. ask ing his consent to their mar
riagc. Then cnsued comedy lasting four
months, the like of which no playwright
has venturcd to put on the stage. Grace
would have been content with either of her
lovers, were it not for the other. But, con-
trary to all example, it Was the absent one
she wanted. When Wesley was with her
she longed for Bennett; when Bennett was
present she l,nged for Wesley How many
times she broke and renewed her engage
ments with each it would be hard to tell.
N love you," she said to Wesley, "a thous-
and times better than ever loved John
Bennett; hut am afraid if don't marry
him he'll run mad That very evening
she promised herself again to Bennett. A
week after she told Wesley she was deter
mined to live and die with him. She in
deed wanted to be married at once, but
Wesley wished some delay. Grace said
she would not wait mere than year. A
fortnight later she met Bennett fell at his
feet, and acknowledged that she had used
him i'll. They were married in a week
after. This strange marriage seems to
have turned out a happy one. Bennett
died in the triumph ofiaith ten years later
Grace survived until 1903, dying at the
age of eighty-seven. For years she was a
bright light in the Methodist society
Wesley saw her three days after her mar.
rage, and but once more on earth. Thir-
ty.nine years after she came to London on
a visit to her son, and expressed wish to
see Wesley. He was eighty-tive years old
