DISEASED MEAT.

EDS. RECORD UNION We are both sur.
prised and panied at your report Of the ex.
pressions of members OF the Board of Health
about diseased meat, as given in your issue
of the 81 instant. One member of the Board
says he is informed that large quantities Of
diseased meat is being daily distributed
among consumers of Sacramento. A second
says his Investigations a year sgo justifes
him in corroborating the information, and q
third lends force TO the charge by relating an
interview with butcher who felt surprised
st snYone eating mutton chops, since during
or after dry seasons sheep were invariably
poisoned by assesses, etc., and consequently
rendered unit for eating purposes. Positively
this Is charge at once sweeping and humili-
aslng to butchers and dealers in meat. Ger
tainly the learned members of the Board did
not fully consider the gravity of the charge
before announcing it to the public. Had they
done so they must have anticipated what a
serious injustice it must work to all honest
proprietors OF retail meat markets. II men,
bers of the Board have been Informed that
diseased is being pslmed eff for sound
meat, they certainly must have been
informed also who the perpetrators are. Why.
then, do they not give publicity to their
names, snd let them alone suffer for so grossly
violating the rules of health. Coming as it
does from a body of gentlemen noted for
their intelligence, this statement will be &C.
cepted and believed by every citizen who
rea6s the morning paper. the illiterats and
educated alike. and every meat merchant of
Sacramento will be sprinkled with thu odium
thereof. This is very wrong. The innocent
should not suffer for the guilty. Ii there
lives in Sacramento to-day the proprietor of
a retail meat market or slsughter-house
who does. knowingly, barter in diseased
meat of any kind, and the members of the
Board of Health. or anyone else, are aware
of such actions, let them be brought to the
surface. Punish them, but DO not chastise
all the butchers of Sacramento for the acts
of o villsinous few. Such a course would
have much more effect in remedying the evil.
if there is such an evil, than the appointing
OF dozen inspectors. To conclude, expert
ence teaches US that sheep are never so
healthy as during or after moderately dry
seasons and instead Of being poisoned by alb.
scesses, their flesh is usually of the most
wholesome character. Respectfully youss,
MoHR & YoERB.

LANDLoRDIsm AT THE NORTHWEST.

The Oregomian, published at Portland,
a very able and observant journal,
concludes, after reviewing the field, that
"a very serious evil in Oregon and Wash
ington Territory is large land holding, In
some cases the land has been acquired GIN.
ply through greed of land, and is held as a
miser boards gold in other cases it has been
purchased at different times, and at low
prices, and is held for speculation. Few
persons who own considerable bodies of
land attempt to make any real use of their
possessions" Large holding, as an
evil, however, has not any deep root in
the north country, and therefore now is
the propitious season for awakening pub
lie sentiment there against system that
threatens to fasten landlordism upon the
people in most obnoxious form, for it is
far easier to prevent than to correct it. 1t
will do more than any other agency we
can conceive OF to check the development
of country. What the Northwest needs
is many homes and many people. Land
monopoly is the direct antagonist of homes
and population. More than this, all its
tendencies are to destroy the individual in
dependence of the voter, and, by erecting
tenancy into q system, establish a servile
class, bound not only to pay tribute to but
to do the bidding of the landlord class,
because personal interests, comfort and
livelihood depend upon it.

The Ravages of yellow Fever.

Tucson. December 4.h.-The fearful rsv
ages of yellow fever in Sonora during the
past season have been reported in diverse and
many ways. Those who have interests there
invariably draw it mild, while others, simply
soiousning there, or passing through the
country, tell doleful stories of the ravsges OF
the dreadful disease. Five young men, from
Kansas City, Mo. left Hermosllo short
time since for Mszstlan. where four sickened
and died The fifth, Joe Priestly. retured To
Nogsles week ago Thursday, with the in
tention of going home the next day. He
heard of ticket at Magdalena to Kansas
City at a reduced rate, and Saturday he want
there to buy it. He came back to Nogales
Sunday, was taken sick that day with yellow
fever. on Tuesday had the black vomit, and
on Thursday died. He had a number OF
friends in Nogsles, who gave him a respect
able burial. The attending physician says
he would have died even IL he had reached
Kansas City, his system was so saturated
with the disease.

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF WAR.

One of the most interesting paragraphs
in the report of Secretary of War Lincoln
is that wherein he advises that the pay of
the common soldier be raised forthwith to
SIG per month. 1t appears that in the
fiscal year ending June 30th, there were
no less than three thousand six hundred
desertions. This extraordinary number of
dishonored soldiers is a little less total
than the figure of 1888. The Secretary,
with confession that is amusing, says,
I" the most earnest efforts are being made
to ascertain, and, 80 far as possible, to do
away with the causes for desertion. This
leads him to the recommendation to in.
crease the pay. 1t should be done, and
besides th, men who do labor for the Gov
eminent at posts should be paid for it in
addition just as much as the Government
would have to pay werkmen to perform
the same duties. The soldier is not, or
should not be called upon to do agricutl-
ural labor, to cut and haul wood, to build
roads in the remote regions, not demanded
by military necessity, nor to do the work
of the ordinary farm laborer. That ne has
been forced to these labors without recon-.
pense, is one of the causes of desertion.
The Secretary boldly says that, in his
opinion, if General Crook is left alone to
manage the Apaches, he will settle the war
in Arizona for all time, and probably with
it the whole troublesome Indian question.
The only remaining portion of the report
aside from the statistical tables and routine
announcements. that attracts special at
tentiop, is that part in which he urges
with great seriousness, that something be
done at once to strengthen our coast and
harbor defenses. They now amount to
very little, and are disgrace to the nation.
On this point he says "0ur sea-coast,
with is great cities and important habors,
is defenseless to-day against the attack of
a modern ironclsd, and it is humiliating
even to imagine the modification, loss of
life, property, and prestige to which we
would be subjected should war come sud.
denly upon US, as, the history of nations
shows, may happen at any time. For
many years no appropriations have been
made for continuing the construction of
our forts, and the barbette batteries, de-
aligned for the country's defense, are in
complete and rapidly going to ruin"

The series of sermons preache in New
York recently upon the inspiration of the
scriptures, by Rev. r. Heber Newton, has
occasioned considerable stir in the Pro J..
testant Episcopal church, and there is a
talk of putting him on trial for heresy.
Rev. DR.. B. F. DeCosta, rector of the
Church of st. John the Evangelist,
preached Sunday morning on ''The Bible
and its Place in the Scheme of Christian
Thought" and took strong ground in op-
position to the position assumed by Mr..
Newton, affirming that if the latter did not
accept the Bible as the word of God the
pulpit was no place for him. DR.. De
Costa said: "The declaration signed by
every person who receives orders reads:
Il do believe the holy scripture of
the Old and New Testaments to be the
word of God, and to contain all things
necessary to salvation; and I do solemnly
engage to conform to the doctrines aat
worship of the Protestant Episcopal
church, The language is clear, guarded,
and comprehensive, and covers every book,
chapter and verse in the Bible. Is it not,
therefore, contrary to all morality for any
person, after making this so emn declaration
with his own hand, TO turn from
his VOW. deny the inspiration of the Bible,
and at the same time hold his position as
minister in Cnrist's church? The position
is indefensible and morally wrong. The
church expects he individual invested With

Some trouble was experienced with the
faucet, which had become loosened and
was accidentally drawn from its position
in the tank, permitting the boiling water
to flow over the head and shoulders of the
man. Instantly his face was covered with
large blisters which caused most intense
suffering. Fortunately the eyesight was
