Galveston News.
The practice obtains 10 many
places, and especially In Calves
ton, of immediately killing a dog
that bites anF person. 1T is an
erroneous and dangerous practice.
The FIRST Impulse of dog attack
ed by ''rabies" is tn bite at
everybody and everything, even
before any other Iearked symptoms
of the disease are apparent. In
the latter stages of the attack the
dog sleeps, from sheer exhaustion.
Aroused from one of these sleeps
he is reckless, often crazy, and
most dangerous Hydrnpllobia is
confined to no season. Occasion
ally it is worse 10 winter than iB
summer. 1n any case where a
person IS bitten by a dog. though
the animal may be apparently
well, he should not be killed, but
secured, tied mp or housed alone,
with light and air, fur at least nine
days, during which time he should
be fed and well supplied with wa
ter. Especially should this pre-
canton be taken If byGrophnbia
exist anywhere 10 the vicinity of
the biting brute at the time. At
the expiration of the nine days, If
the dog exhibits no signs of the
malady or is not dead, as be will
be If mad at the beginning, the
person bitten may rest assured
against evil consequences from the
wound. There are Instances where
the disease has developed wears
after the bite. If the dog is in
stantly killed the person bitten
may GO along npon the uncertain
fy for many years, or until mental
anxiety may have produced the
malady dreaded. Let onr good
chief of police look to this matter.
Iii well worthy consideration.

In that bill the treaty.making


power Of the Government should
see the suggestion of an unperform-
ec and important duty; in its mes
sage accompany ng the veto the law
making power should also see a
practical suggestion. That bill was
show not to do it," 1t was an at
tempt to abrogate treaty between
two great nations which have always
been on friendly terms, and to do it
in az irregular, insolent and inexcu-
sable way. Nay, more, while the
bill did not expressly, and in set
terms abrogate only the gist of one
treaty, it would practically destroy
all treaty relations between the
two Governments, and exposed ev-
cry American in China to exceeding
ly great peril. Commercial relations
would have been deranged, if not de
stroyed. These nations are next.
door neighbors. One is on the eX-
IRENE east, the other on the extreme
west, and water divides them. The
strength and force of the message in
question lie in the clearness with
which it is shown that the proposed
abrogatian would go much further
than the bill would indicate upon its
surface. 1t would never be serious
ly recommended that this country
should protect itself against excess
sive immigration from Great Britain
or Germany by any treaty abroga-
ton, much less by vitiating all dip
lomatic relations. We would not
dare do it. They are powerful ma
tons 1.-The Queens navee" would
blow our commerce out of the sea,
or the krupp guns of the Teuton
would revenge the insult. Now it
would be very mean and disgraceful
to heap upon China indignities just
because we know the Chinese are
not good fighters. England, to her
everlasting iniamy, forced opium
upon China on that plan, but the
United states is too grand and just
to do anything Of the sort" "Wish-
