Failure to Transmit business Offered or

Special to Cincinnati Enquirer
Notwithstanding Mr. Whitney's allega

the Western Union Telegraph Company
failed completely in its transmission of its
special press reports tonight Copy filed for
Cleveland, Chicago and other points was re-
turned with the statement that it could not
be forwarded because OF n storm prevailing
in the West Communication received from
other sources was that no storm was prevail
ing in the West, hence it must have been
subterfuge to cover the inability of the tele-
graph company to transmit the matter.
Newspaper mel are denied admission to the
operating-room of both the Western Union
and Baltimore & Ohio offices, but 1T is un-
derStood that the former have but eight men
on their entire roll Of operators, and the lat

RICHMOND, Va, July A..-All press matter

THE Western Union Telegraph Company
is trifling with the public in trying to make
it appear that they are fast filling the places
of the striking operatives with reliable, il
not skilled hands, but the public knows bet

tells the whole story, for they have not a
line of telegraph matter, which shows that
the game OF brag by the company will not
re-establish it as a transmitter of messages
not proving satisfactory to the public. The

caused by continuous bad treatment and
by ovefcrowding in filthy and unventi-
lated stables. It is fatal to buman be-.
ings, to whom it can be communicated
from horses, and on this account the
disease, after its appearance in stable,
should be exterminated by the most yig-
orous measures.
A few days ago the state veterinarian
of Illinois reported that glanders pre-.
vailed among horses in no less than 19
counties Of that state. He had at.
tempted to kill the diseased horses, but
had bsen prevented from doing this by
the owners attorneys, who asserted that
such action could be taken only after
the governor should issue proclama-
ton declaring glanders to be epidemic.
In this strait the veterinarian decided to
appeal to the attorney general for an
opinion as to his power. He did not re-
Guire any opinion as to his duty.
There is only one thing to be done af-
ter the presence of the disease has been
discovered beyond doubt. The horse
must be shot and the stable must be
thoroughly cleansed and disinfected.
The fact that glanders can be very cas-
lily communicated to men, whom it will
almost invariably kill, ought to lead the
owners of diseased horses to assist
health officers in stamping it out. If
they refuse to do what is their very
plain duty, boards of health ought to
speedily find away to compel them to obey
rules established for the protection of
human beings as well as of horses owned
by other persons.

THE aovERNMENr OF ALASKA.


The conflict between the Indians and
whites at the Dakan Mine is an example
OF the dangers to which residents of
Alaska are exposed. It is said that the
population of the country has declined
since its purchase from Russia in 1872,
and the lack Of protection for life and
property is the chief cause. Congress
considered two plans for it's better gov
ernment n year ago-that of making it d
judicial district, separating it from
Washington Territory, to which it was
Joined as county in 1879; and that of
organizing it as new territory. Here
tofore the Uuited States collector Of Gus.
toms has administered rude kind Of
government there. The establishment
OF martial law would furnish the cheap
est and most effective protection for the
1000 or more white people now in
Alaska, and as the iAlucts and Indians
now outnumber them seven to one. the
federal force should be sufficiently
strengthened to keep the savages under
restraint. Dol. Barry promptly executed
the Indian whom the citizens did not
hang with his companion in the tragedy,
but the military power is not adequate
for the eproper protection OF life and prop
erty in Alaska.

RgcKLEss FRENCH rrAAncE.

While the debt of our republic has
been reduced to 81 ,543, ,0C0, 900, that of
France is almost "a, 600, 600, 600, and
still rolling upward. An extra budget
has just been submitted which provides
for loan of 500, 100000. While the
total expenditures Of our government
during the last fiscal year were S257,-
9s1, 900, the total annual expenditures
Of the French government are about
81, 900, 0O0, ,000, although the population
OF France is not much more than two
thirds of that of the United States. The
condition of French finance is critical.
and the collapse Of the republic may re-
suit from extravaganza, unless there is
check put upon reckless expenditures.
The credit Of the government may be
so much weakened that the treasury
will become bankrupt. It is strange that
apeople celebrated for Individual thrift
should permit such extravaganza in the
administration of their government.
There are more than 5, 500, 900 farmers
in France who own the land they till,
and the great mass of the people are
industrious and frugal; but the nation
cannot always endure the drain Of the
present extrayagant administration OF
government. Those who wish to see

may rejoice to see lavish expenditures
from the public purse, but the specta-
Gle should make friends of the republic

I AMERICAN CATTLE.

After all the talk in the British parlia-
ment about the Importation of diseased
cattle from this country, it appears not
only that there is not trace of the foot
and mouth disease in the United States
but also that whenever that disease has
appeared here it has been introduced by
cattle imported from Great Britain. In
1871 it was communicated to our herds
from Montreal by two English COWS that
had been brought to that city. Two
years ago a few Channel Island cattle
suffering from the disease were quaran.
tined at New York, and the disease was
suppressed. Five months ago cargo
Of diseased cattle from the same place
was brought to Baltimore, where the
work OF suppression was successfully re-
peated. Each of the two vessels, how
ever, in which these cattle came carried
American cattle back to England. These
American cattle were healthy when they
went on board ship, but during the pas
sage they caught the disease from the
stalls in which the English cattle had
been confined. The British legislator
became greatly alarmed, and, without
knowing that he had large beam in
his own eye, turned his attention to
wholly imaginary mote on this side of
the Atlantic.

THAT MEXICAN OUTRAGE.

The wanton insult to the American
flag that was reported from Monterey
turns out to have been simply an at
tempt at burglary. DR.. Campbell, the
consul, was away at Laredo, Texas, and
the burglars, thinking TO take advantage
OF his absence, broke into the con sulate
with the purpose of taking whatever of
value they might find. They discovered
. case Of surgical instruments and some
clothing, and were making off with their
booty, when Mr.. Shaw, the clergyman
who had been left in charge Of the consul
late by DR.. Campbell, happenedto enter
the building. To secure their escape
they knocked him down and ran away.
This is all there was to found story
upon. The deliberate beating of Mr..
Shaw and the mutilating of our flag,
and the destroying Of official records and
documents was added to the story by
some one for sensational purposes. OF
course such an affair as this will not
lead to any international complications.
Even IT the story as first reported had
been true, there would not have been
any misunderstanding between the gov
ernments.

A rest for the Composition.

The intelligent compositor, upon
whose head has been heaped all the
orthographical sins of several genera
tions, is now relieved Of his burden by
the emergency telegraph operator. The
infinite patience and marvellous ingenu-
ity OF the scrub operator, in extracting
the last glimmer of sense from dis
patch are far in advance of the widest
inebriated typo. When the sounder be.
gins to click, his reason takes her
winged flight into space, and his facul-
ties wander aimlessly in the moon-gilded
morasses Of the insane, attended by the
gibbering genius of dambosb. To his
original sin of incapacity he adds the
aggravatien of an iuexhaustible fund of
acquired Ignorance, aud applies the CON-
bined talents OF him to the confusion of
all business. He sent i. telegram to
western paper, giving an account of the
festivities attending the intelment of a
prominent ex-inhabitant, and among
other things, calmly wrote that ss Bishop
Strachan distributed paregoric." The
inference would be that the mourners
were nli of sucsulent age and that the
paregoric was intended to sssauge their
frantic grief and bring to their souls the
holy peace of soothing syrup slumber,
But why could not the fellow have writ
ten that the bishop delivered the pane
gy1ic?" The inference would have been
similar, barring the increased age OF
the borrowing friends.

The amount Of government land

is yet more good land in the republic
that has never been touched by plow
than there is under cultivation. These
statistics may reassure persons who fear
that it will soon be no longer true that

He Would See Her Later.

A young man living III Cumm1nsVllle,
o., about to be married to the lady of
his choice, wanted something original
and romantic connected with the cere-
mony. He had heard Of people being
married in the deep recesses of Mammoth
Gave, and up in a balloon, boys; but no
balloon was convenient, and trip to the
cave WAS too expensive. So he finally
hit upon wedding on horseback.
The idea was not entirely novel, rs he
had dim recollection Of having read of
such thing before, but it was romantic
anyhow, aud quite superior to the hum
drum affairs the newspapers SO briefly
noticed. He wanted sensation that
would be the talk of The neighborhood
for some time, aud he got it.
Neither he nor his affianced were
adopts in equestrianism, the minister he
engaged mounted horse on that occa-
sion for the first time in his life, and the
result was surprise to all parties. All
reached the rendezvous, which was out
on the Reading road, after some little
trouble, but when they drew up fer the
ceremony the horses became restive and
the riders nervous and fearful. The
bride and groom couldn't get their steeds
near enough together to take hold of
their hands, so that preliminary was
necessarily omitted. i
The minister began.
"If any one knows any reason why
this couple should not be united, let
him"
Here the groom's charger began TO
rear and plunge as if charged with vital
information on that point which he was
eager to unload. He was coaxed into
comparative submission, but as he
broke out more violently than before
when the minister again called for obiec-
tions to the bans, the question was not
pressed. The bride, who was engaged
in struggle with her palfry to keep
him from standing on his head, begged
hysterically that the nuptials be consum-
mated as quickly as possible, as she
wanted to go right home. Meanwhile
the minister's horse had backed up
against the fence and was preparing to
sit down there in order to make himself
as comfortable as possible till the show
was over. He changed his mind, how.
ever, and waltzed around in the middle
of the road half dozen times so rapidly
that the affrighted parson thought he

As soon as he could command his breath
he said to the groom: "Do you take

The groom didn't, but his horse did
he took the bits in his mouth and started
up the road on run. Then The brides
courser made mad dash in the opposite
direction. The parsons nag hesitated a
moment and then followed after the
groom, and when within earsbot the
parson, with rare presence of mind and
fearful of losing his fee, shouted at the
top of his voice: "Do you take-shis
woman-for your-wedded-wjfe ?'
What the reply would have been can
not be known, as the young mans horse
swerved from his course at this critical
moment and plunged into the canal
along which they were passing. The
parson was only stopped by toll-gate,
He wanted to race back and get the
reply OF the bride, but as she got too
much the start of him he concluded to
see her another time.
