DORSEY supplied Garfield with his
campaign pocket money, but he got the
offer of a cabinet place. Garfield was
not more grateful than Hayes, who was
furnished with check for his personal
expenses by Don Cameron, and then
kicked the son of his father out of the
cabinet.
1T is now stated, with what truthful
moss does not appear, that a slight earth
quake was felt on the island of Ischia on
the Gath of July, four days before the ter
rible disaster by which SO many lives were
lost. And that the authorities through q
sordid fear of deterring tourists and others
from visiting the island had "bushed up
the occurrence. The effects of the ''hush.
up" policy are now manifest. A local
illustration of the same criminallyinsensate
conduct has been seen within the limits of
our own city. The hush up" policy
applied to tho smallpox in the county
prison, caused the dread disease to become
nearly epidemic in Lancaster, and gave a
shock to the business of the city, the
effects of which have not yet entirely
passed away.
THE importation of American meat into

value and stability of the Imports are vel
shown in the fact that they arc used more
| as an article of barter than as an article
Of consumption. Sanitary monomaniacs
raise an occasional stir in calling for the
prohibition of pork importation, but while
the United States government permits
bad beer and worse wines from Germany
aud Franco to come to our shores uu-
molested, our brethren across the sea
should have little cause for complaint.
