A loming Issue in Tennessee.

~ NOAAAAo8 AD3AAO "a ACnMCaoCCa
The farmers of Jefferson county
have spoken out in favor Of dog law
and progressive farming. They have
taken steps to effect thorough organ
izstion aud to cooperate with similar
organizations all over East Tennessee.
Jefferson is solid conservative old
county, Wing in sentiment before the
war and Republican to the backbone
ever since, but honest and fear
less in everything. The county will
probably be Republican if there is
sucHa party in existence a hundred
years from now. They vote that tick
ct as religicuSly as they go to church.
The few Democrats there are as the
salt Of the earth, rock ribbed and un
yielding as the everlasting hills. Of
course this has no per-
ceptible relation to agri-
culture and dog laws, but it illus
trates the sterling and enduring quIl-
tiles of a people who never go at any
thing or become aroused unless they
are terribly in earnest, and enlist for
the war. Such people are always felt,
and when they fairly take sides seldom
change. When the dog law Of 1875
was passed SOME Of these same people
were indignant. They thought only
OF the domestic relation which exists
between family and good house
dog, that is often a protector, inspir-
ing feeling Of security,
and almost of social equality.
Toe ultimate object Of
the law was not then considered. But
the increase Of population, building of
new railroads, and infusion of new
ideas, along with increasing necessities
aud sharpened wits, have convinced
thinking people that as factor in civ
ilization and the economies Of life,as a
source Of revenue, and as an available
utility, the sheep brings better
return than the promiscu
GUS sheep killing dog. Various
parts of the three great divisions OF
the State are we'll adapted to sheep
raising, and, dogs out of the way, it is
very profitable business, whether
conducted on a large scale or only in
connection with small farming. A
good law protecting sheep would be
worth hundreds of thousands Of dol
lars in Tennessee every year. The
next move must come from the farm
ers; they are the people most directly
interested. Sheep, raising builds
WOODEN mills and weaves cloth. Dog
raising never built single factory
in the State not even sausage fac
tory or dog skin tan yard. A good
dog is worth taking care Of, and the
owner should be willing TO pay the
price of bag Of dried fruit to pay the

back. The time has come when we
must cultivate the useful industries
and arts and the things that elevate
and refine and make people self
sustaining, useful and prosperous.

A PICTURE,

The New York Morning Journal
touches off Dezendorf and the Re.
publican party in Virginia after the
following style: "Ex-Congressman
Dezenderf paints a narrowing picture
Of the condition Of the straight-out
Republican party in Virginia. This
heroic organization casts 10000 votes
and to a man they all supported Gar
field in the last national campaign.
Horrible to say, there is not, accord.
ing to Dezendorf, a single one of
them in office to-day. Even Dezen-
dorf has not been provided for. He
is out in the cold. He has not seen a
government pay roll in months and
months, and not one of his sisters
his cousins, his aunts, or his nephews
can find q resting place in the
Washington departments. Genera
Malone has monopoIized everything.
He has readjusted Dezendorf into
private life, and all Dezenderf's de-
tenders and followers. Dezendorf,
however, is not discouraged. He de
clares that he will take prompt and
effective measures for the reorganiza-
ton of the party On such a basis as
will harmonic conflicting elements"
and restore the name of Uezendorf to
its position on the books of the treas
ury. This is right. Malone must
60 and Dezendorf must get an office,
or the one hundred thousand Repub-
licans of Virginia will know the rea-
son why"

According to the reports of the w.
U. Telegraph Company and of the
striking operators the adjustment of
their disagreement is no nearer a Sc
luton than when the latter first
struck. Each party appears firm in
its determination to make no con-
cessions to the other and each con-
tends that indications point to the
yielding of the other. Much COM
plant, however, is made concerning
the i~nefficiency OF the present tele-
graph service. Boards of Trade and
Produce Exchanges have entered
protests against the incompleteness
OF their dispatches, and urge a speedy
settlement of the differences existing
between the PARTIES to the strike.
They assert that the business inter-
ests of the country are suffering by
it, but refuse to commit themselves
to the aus of either party. 1t seems
at this distance the strike promises to
be a long and obstinate one, and that
both parties, as we'll as the public at
arge, will suffer still greater losses
by it.

Striking Operators in Mexico

CITY OF MEXICO, Aug. 3.-Five
striking operators of the Mexican
railway arrived here and state that
they were employed as operators and
afterward given duties as station
agents for which hands we've de-

ceived $50 per month. No attention

in their resign lions IN the first in

given. The operators stopped work
yesterday and some of the vacancies
on the line were filled. More opera
tors go to work t. day. Passenger
trains are running on schedule time;
some freight and construction trains
are running but under difficulties.
The strikers are all American except
one Mexican. The telegraph COM

Report Of the Cattle Commits
sion.

WASHINGTON, August 3.-The
treasurer of the Cattle Commission
has made a report to the Treasury
department in regard to the alleged
existence of the throat and mouth
dlsea>e among cattle in this country.
1t says in part-"charges having
been recently made in the British
Parliament that cattle were being
shlpped from our ports infected with
the foot and mouth diseases. and a
majority of the House of Commons
having voted for a resolution oppO-
sing the importation into Great
Britain Of cattle from any coun-
tries in which said disease exists.
We deemed it our duty to state the
facts ofthe case as far as thii country
is concerned. After a most extend.
ed and almost exhaustive INQUIRY.
your commission has not been able
to find any trace Of foot and mouth
disease, apart from the herds lust
landed from Great Britain, and
whole herds have in every case been
sequestered until the infection had
entirely disappeared, and the nature
and scope of the inquiry be deduced
from our report for '81, beginning
with the greatest rendezvous of cattle
at hansss City, Council Bluffs and
Omaha. We have made q careful in
vestigation along all lines of cattle
traffic as far IS the eastern seaboard.
Ia this investigation we have in
all the great stock yards where
cattle are detained for feeding. |
American cattle on arrival in Eng
were found to be suffering from
foot and mouth diseases. This in.

Chinese Matters.

LONDON, August 3.-The general
opinion is that the aggressive policy
assumed by Lacour and the appoint
ment OF Trecou as French Minister
10 China were unfortunate circum-
stances, and that a peaceful solution
OF the difficulty is impossible. The
Chinese consider the French are de-
termined upon the annexation of
AMMAN, and they desire to quarrel
with China. The French will be un-
able to epera'e until November. The
unnealthy season is affecting the
young men among the French
troops, and the hospitals are made
quate to accommodate the sick.
