The weekly herald. [volume] (Cleveland, Tenn.) 1876-1888, 1877-03-16
From tile New YORK Tribune

The address with which Presi-
dent Hayes begins his official ca
reer as Chief Executive of the
United States will strengthen the
favorable Impressions made by
his selections for his Cabinet, and
give a fresh impulse to Il revival
of hope and cheerfnlness through
out the country. 1t contains no
startling promise; it unfords no
unexpected policy; but it renews
with Solumn emphasis the pledges
made by the Republican candi-
date before election. and indicates
i'm every line an honest devotion
to duty. We believe that one
whose judgment ia not warped by
the intensesthea Ofparty passion
can read this speech without rec
ognizing in it the language Of sin
cerity and courage. Neither ku-
kluX nor the carpet Dagger will
find much comfort in the Presi-
dent 5 language, DuC lne real
South will take heart in hearing
it, and honest Republicans at the
North, alarmed and ashamed at
the disgrace which their party
has been forced to bear, will hold
their heads higher and rejoice in
the dawn Of nobter days"
In regard to civil service reform
the Tribune remarks chat nobody
supposes it will be easy, but Mr..
Hayes will be sustained in it by
a grateful and admiring people,
and perhaps in time politicians
who have been accustomed to de
pend upon Federal influence will
take to heart the truth which he
tersely expressed, that 'he serves
his party best who serves the
country best"

Postmaster General Kcy.

The appointment OF our fellow
countryman David NJ. Key as
Postmaster General, by President
Hayes, was not a great surprise
to our people. 1t had been well
known for months that one or
two Southern men would be Civ.
Ell prominent position in the
Cabinet, and that those men were
to be Liberal Democrats. In his
line of policy laid down, Mr..
Hayes evidently intends to p,oase
the public generally and not the
politicians. Mr. Key is well known
to our people as a very liberal
Democrat so honest and upright
that he is almost a Republican
The public generally are pleased
at the appointment, and are sat
iSiied that Mr.. Key will admins
ter his department honestly and
justly. No one who knows will
doubt his ability; no one boubt:
his intentions to do right.
His party refused to re-elect
him to the United States Senate
simply because his public acts
were in accordance with the die
tates of his conscience &c.
His vote in the Senate to inves-
tigate the Mississippi frauds was
his first blow at the Democracy,
and FROM that time forward he
was the subject Of their abuse.
Now that he has seen proper to
accept a position in Republican
Cabinet. he is denounced by the
Democracy as Il traitor.
1t makes very little difference
to Mr.. Key as to who approves of
his acts and who don't. He will
simply 90 forward and attend to
the duties ofhis Office, just the
same as if there was no such thing
as Democracy.

TEe Dog Law Again,

A correspondent of the Knox.
vile Chronicle writes: The sur
prising decision of the Supreme
Court recently in referenceito the
dog law calls forth reflection and
deeper investigation OH the sub.
.ject. The question is, shall
whole armies of dogs be turned
loose again upon our country
with the warning Of statistics and
sanitary science admonishing us
of the dangers? Has the Legisla-
ture no right to make laws to
protect human life! Can not the
cities and town Of our State en-
force the dog law as a sanitary
measureI The following extract,
published in the Nashville Jour
nal of Medicine and Surgery Of
the month Of January, 1877, is
very suggestive as a sanitary pa,
per on the subject:
"They," the cysts of the dog
tape worm, ARE found in the hu,
man body, and give rise to incu-
rable, and most horrible diseases,
to which persons Of all classes are
liable. no matter how wealthy or
refined. That large numbers Of
human beings Of all ages and
conditions die annually from d.
seases caused by this parasite is
established beyond q doubt.
And although suoh diseases are
most common among the poorer
classes of society, and especially
among those who associate most
familiarly with dogs, they are by
no means confined to them. Ma
ny men of great eminence and
talent have likewise persisted
rom the same cause. 1t is esti-
mated that five hundred persons
die annually by this parasite in
Great Britain, and the parasite
that produce the eggs exist in the
dogs OF every country. 1t Is per
safe to say that at least
twenty-five sheep are killed by
parasites derived from dogs for
every one killed by the teeth Of
dogs! 1T is also safe to say that
more than fifty persons die from
the same parasites, for every one
that dies from hydrophobia! The
loss Of human life every year
more than COUNTER balances all
rood hat all the dogs in the civil
.zedworld can possibly do. In
Ireland, where the number of
both dogs and sheep is very
arge, tits stated that one-sixth Of
III the deaths are caused BY one
# these dog parasites"

Key ''Sonnd as "a doIiar.''

A Washington special TO the
New York ZINES says: It is un-
dersto0d that Postmaster Gener-
81 Key has intimated to Mr.. Ty-
ner that he would like to have
him remain as first assistant post
master general and take charge
Of the appointments, particularly
those for the northern States.
Mr.. Tyner declines to remain
in the department as n subordi-
nate, but will assist the new post
master general whenever his adj
vice and experience will serve in
CARRYING ont his plans.
Mr.. Key will ask the President
to name for first assistant post
master general n representative
Republican, in order that the Re
publicans Of the country may feel
assured that he intends to act in
perfect accord with that party,
and to assist the president in ad,
ministering the government in
the interest Of all the people.
Mr.. Key says he was inyitcd to.
a seat in the cabinet to repre-
sent the South, and his purpose is
to give personal attention to that
section.

tor several uaT-ilc l-uger the hCiter-
by-and- bya be- viii have Some SEED wheat {,
sell thai b. may hc willing TO have bcaF his
name, and De will be- public bsnefaci0r."
II would be very easy TO select
enough for a bushel or two Of this
better seed the first year, and
part of this could be sown will
special reference TO seed, and the
remainder as general crop. The
next year the selecting would be
less difficult and more rapid and
the larger yield and better qual-
ity will amply repay. We raise
a great many more bushels of2d
and ID grades of wheat than
there is any use of if we will APP
ply ourselves to the work Of gra-
ding up our seed. Concerning
the common method the Tribune
further says:
Many Of our farmers are quite particular
TO SOW good plump sccd-whcai, and nearly
all, perhaps all, would prefer such seed.
But how ar" ths plump kernels selected By
means Of the screens in the tanning mill the
plump kernels are separated, They come
from all sorts Of heads, long or short, large
or small, from those stools producing a few
small heads, or from those producing many
large htads. They are selected at random
from ANYTHING that may happen to produce
