Of freedom from our escutcheon and put the
useful COW in his place. Then we might
well contemplate that hulkins fellow,
John Bull, as "a little more than kin
it, less than kline" No doubt the dairy
fair SO soon to be held will convince
the world at large that this is really COW
country, as, indeed, land of fertile valleys
and vast grassy plains should be. Is not
the buffalo, indeed, natures evidence of
this fact experimentally exhibited? He is
our wild beast, and his existence is a
tribute to the climate and the capacities Of
the country. He is passing away, too, they
say. Let him pass; let him. indeed, be
slaughtered down TO the last buffalo. His
extirpation is the real solution of the Indian
problem. One Of these days. when he is
gone, all those plains he now inhabits will
be the home Of his remote relation, the do
mesiic COW, and one COW is worth at least
twenty buffalocs.

Horrible Revelations.

The revelations made in our Syracuse
despatch, published yesterday, in regard
to the treatment Of insane paupers in the
lunatic asylum attached to tho Onondaga
Poorhouse are of horrible character, and
it is to be feared that the revolving story
might be told of great many other coun-
ties in the State A committee Of the On
ondaga Board Of Supervisors having been
deputed to inspect the Poorhouse decided
to make their visit unannounced, in order
that they might see the institution in its
everyday dress and under its ordinary
management. Their determination proved
TO be wisely taken, and their investigation
has brought to light abuses which might
otherwise have continued for years without
discovery and exposure. It has been the
custom Of the Onondaga Board of Sup
ervisors to make annual inspections
Of the county buildings, Of which
due information has always been given to
the county authorities. These yearly visits
have been q mere matter Of form SO far as
proper inquiry into the management Of
the institutions Is concerned, although
they nave Deen plctSaub tuCuBu JuuhstiuS
parties for the county representatives. The
proceedings on such occasions in Onondaga
have not differed from the custom in other
counties The first business in order has
been cola ion at the expense Of the
county, at which turkeys, partridges,
chickens, sandwiches, cake, wine, liquors
and cigars have done their best to put the
Supervisors in happy mood with ''all the
world and the rest Of mankind" Then
the examination" of the county in
stitutions has commenced, and newly
scrubbed floors, paupers in holiday suits
and cotintenances drilled into an expression
OF smiling content, seen through the
pleasant colors of amber sherry, straw
tinted champagne and maroon shaded
brandy, have satisfied the Supervisors that
there never were more efficient county
officials than those Of Onondaga. So yearly
reports have been made by the Board, and
| the people have been led to believe that the

The Case of Miss Fancher.

From time to time we have recorded the
pcculiarities Of the case Of the unfortunate
invalid lady in Brooklyn whose condition
has within q few days attracted in SO great
degree the attention Of our contempora-
ries and a few days since we said that the
case might properly enough be classed in the
number Of histories Of hysterical imposture,
if there was any pretence that this person
actually lived without food. There is not, as
and it seems unfortunate that distin-
guished physician has rather coarsely and
hastily put the case in category in which,
therefore, it is not rightly placed. Miss
Fanchcr's friends, it appears, are aston
ished at the infinitely small quantity of
nutriment that sufices with her to sus-
tain life. Perhaps. in the natural hu-
man disposition to make o wonder of
whatever is aside from the ordinary
line Of common experience, they exaggerate
this part OF the case in their statements; but
with allowance made fcr this rigid inquiry
might find that the food taken is much less
in quantity than is commonly supposed to
be necessary to support life. 1t must be re-
membered how different, however, is the life
Of this bedridden person from that of one
in ordinary activity. Growth completed,
food has two purposes-to supply the waste
of the system and to furnish force. Now,
Miss Fancher has the smallest conceivable
necessity for food for the supply Of force,
and, if possible, an even smaller need for it
for the supply of waste tissues. She does
some needlework and she talks little, and
in respect to any other activity seems more
nearly dead than alive. Would it not be
better worth while to make physiological
anomalies of this sort the basis of inquiries
in the problems the cases touch than to
coarsely denounce them?

The Welcome to Lorne.

The exceedingly enthusiastic reception
which the city Of Halifax gave yesterday to
the Marquis Of Lorne and his wife, the
Princess Louise, is fully described in our
dispatches from that point. If any doubt
were felt that the sending of a
son-in-law of Her Majesty to rule
over the Dominion would prove in
the least unpopular or i'll advised it is dis
PEELED by the events of yesterday. The
good old city was stirred to depth of en-
thusiasm such as she never felt before, and
it is very certain that the exhibition of
loyalty and affection she manifested
toward the mother country is but the
forerunner of the display of exuberant
devotion that will be presented
all over tho chief colony of Great
Britain. This to the home government and
to the Queen is the chief value Of the
demonstration. 1t shows that Canada is
intensely loyal to the British throne and
that there is no reason to fear that in the
near future the North American dependen-
cies Of England will seek to sever
the silken cords that unite them TO
the Empire. In o personal way the
reception was o rare compliment to
the Marquis and the Princess Louise. 1t
is ON auspicious opening Of the new admin
position they can count upon the citizens
Of Canada to make their path as smooth and
pleasant as possible.

when the Cows Come Home.

Really the cows seem disposed to come
home to us now, and it comes home very
handsomely to learn that the COW product
is, exclusive of beef, superior in value to all
the crops in the country save only one
that of corn. Even King Cotton stands
lower down the statistical line than King
Butter and Cheese. He is an inferior po-
tentate. But IL the COW stands so high com-
mercially in the dairy respect how high
would she stand ii to the value OF milk and
butter and cheese should be added the
value of beef and leather and the mex
haustible fortune that Peter Cooper has made
out of glue? Perhaps in view of the possi-
BILE results of an inquiry in that direction the
national gratitude might with a modifca-
tion Of Tranklin's fancy obliterate the bird

men intrusted with the cnre of the unfortu-
nate beings who become wards Of the county
of Onondaga are as remarkable for their
humanity as for their honesty and efficiency
in the public service.
All these rose-colored stories have been
spoiled by the sudden visit of the practical.
committee, which entered the Poorhouse
without word of warning, taking the
keeper unawares." An examination OF the
building set apart for the pauper insane
brought to light tho fact that some of these
unfortunate beings are thrown into wooden
cages in a foul and filthy cellar, to which
scarcely ray OF light can penetrate, and
where they are left in condition horrible
to contemplate until death-whicl cannot
be long delayed in such pestilential at
mosphere-- to relieve them of their
sufferngs. he description of the poor
creatures, as they stood startled and dazed
by the gleam of light from the lantern car
ried by the committee, would be regarded
rs overdrawn if given in novel, but is only
truthful account written by an eye witness
from scene of real life Our criminal
laws muSt, lnueeu, neeu REVISION II SUCH
brutality as is shown to have been
prac.sed in the treatment of these
insane paupers cannot be punished
as it deserves to be. But the Supervisors
of Onondaga county should at least take
steps to make an example Of the inhuman
officials and their subordinates by driving
them at once from the public service There
can be no necessity TO search where the re-
sponsibility lies. 1t is shared by every
human being in authority at the Poorhouse !;
by the superintendent, the doctors, the
keepers, the nurses and all whose duties
employ them in the buildings The hor-
rible treatment of the unfortunate inmates
can have been no secret from any person in
or about the buildings, and no man or
woman who was aware Of the existence Of
these filthy pens and failed to make the
fact known should be allowed to hold
public position, however humble. An ex-
ample made in this case by the discharge Of
every employe in the County Poorhouse
and by the prosecution of the principals, if
they can possibly be reached by law, may
have the effect Of reforming similar abuses
in other counties of the State.

attempt to draw it all ont at once as soon
as they begin TO have any doubts. Mr..
Sherman's surest guarantee for retaining
the greater part of his gold after resnmp-
tion. is a declared readiness, supported
by adequate preparations, to give all
parts of the country equal facilities for the
prompt conversion of legal tender notes into
coin. When everybody can procure gold
in his own city or State any day he may
happen to want it very few will desire to
keep any great amount of it on hand for
improbable exigences.
1t may require some courage for Secretary
Sherman to make every sub-treasury dild
every government depository place OF re-
demption; but there are occasions when
boldness is the truest wisdom, and
even the safest precaution. BY pro-
viding numerous and widely distrib-
uted places Of redemption Mr.. Sher-
man will evince such complete conf
denoe in the adequacy OF his reserve and in
the success of his great experiment rs will
inspire like confidence in the country
and forestall attempts to draw ont more
gold than is really needed for the imme-
diate accommodation of the public. Be-
sides, the furnishing of such wide facilities
will be an act of justice by giving equal ad-
vantases to all parts of the country, and
making redemption an impartial blessing.

Yellow Fever and Quarantine.

1t is a pity the sessions of the American
Public Health Association should have
ended in nothing The published con-
clusions Of it's deliberations disappoint the
expectations Of those who had hoped it
would present some practical proposition
for the prevention of future scourges of yell
low fever. 1t would have been better to
vestigation had been made rather than re-
vive those which ample experience has long
since shown to be unnecessary and re-
strictive.
In reading the accounts Of the rise and
progress Of the fever it is soon realized that
panic feelings still overshadowed all cool
and dispassionate reasoning, and that the
spirit of the Middle Ages was predominant
in suggesting remedies to prevent the in
PRODUCTION of the scourge. Here is one of
the conclusions adopted by the association
as the sentiment of that body
''Second-That quarantine, established
with such rigor and precision as to produce
absolute nen-intercourse, will prevent the
importation Of specific causes of yellow
fever"
The establishment Of such quarantine
at this port would, as matter of necessity,
destroy our West India trade. To declare
that no vessel from an infected port should
1st of November would not be encouraging
to the immense capital now engaged in that
trade Yet. such were the measures advo-
Gated by the principal speakers and received
with acclamation by the association. If the
South desires to pursue policy SO suicidal
toward her ports we cannot assent TO any
such restrictions. For years past commerce
from here with the West Indies has gone on
with restrictions so slight as scarcely to in
terfere with the most active relations,
while for four months of the year yellow
fever is rarely absent from the Quarantine
Hospital.
This difference Of action does not arise
wholly from difference in situation during
that time. As experience has again and
again shown in past epidemics, the condi-
tions for the spread Of the yellow fever TO-
mites are as favorable here as at the South.
1t is not strange that yellow fever was
introduced in New Orleans by the Emily
Soutter last May. Were the same course
adopted here as was practised with her
yellow fever would reach our docks nearly
every day during the season.
SO far, then, from studying the preven-
ton Of the fever from the light of expert
ence and the phenomena Of its natural
history they present us jmpotent conclu-
sions, founded in fear-retrograde, not pro-
rressive.
