TEXAS FEVER.

The following, touching upon the disease
commonly known among cattle as Iexes
fever is taken from the Caldwell, Kansas,
Journal: "Mr. Carter, living on the Smith
place on the Chikaskia, last week lost tWen-
ty-four head out of thirty-fiye head OF his
Shorthorn cattle. The cattle were taken
sick and died within twenty four hours.
Mr.. Garter has also four Polled Angus and
two Holsteins, but none OF these seem TO
have been affected with the malady, what
ever it was, while every one OF his short
horns were i'll. Thinking the disease was
Spanish fever, Mr.. Garter used belladonna,
but only succeeded in saving eleven of his
Shorthorn herd. OF the twenty-four that
died, Mr.. Carter opened three, and found
the manifold dry and. congested, the gall
full, and running over in two, while in one
the gall was thick and black, Two of them
when the hides we're taken OIL, had thick
bloody and watery substance on one side,
while. the other carcass was bloodshot on
the hips and back. Mr.. Carter says in the
pasture where the cattle are kept there are
Several pcoIs or ponds, and that during the
summer a herd Of through Texans had
been driven across it. The herd had gone
into these pools, and around the edges had
left the impress OF their hoois These
places were subsequently filled with water
by rains and his cattle would drink out of
those places. 1t seems, Mr.. Carter, said, al
| most impossible to keep the cattle away
from them. "-[Gainesville Independent.
DEMOCRATIC PAPERS AND "oRGANs
Every once in while we hear of "long
felt wants" that are to be supplied, and the
most peculiar OF these wants Is mat which
| is to be met by the starting OF some So
called political Organ" which, being in
! terpreted means that some poor fellow,
with little money, and less brains, eAters
into an undertaking for the benefit OF one
or more persons who allow him to use his
money for their benefit, aud then leave him
to starve on political glory. A case is in
point in Brooklyn, where for long period
| of time the Eagle has dispensed true demo-
cratic doctrines, but has failed to endorse
tricksters and demagogues, calling them
selves democrats. In the last seven or eiVht
years the democratic majority in Brook yn
has fallen from ABOUT twenty thousand to
less than nothing, republican mayor
having been elected in 1881, while this year
Carr carried the city by majority of about
| 1,300 against Maynard. The 'long felt
wants" always descend into early graves
They are too utterly too too for the people,

UNIFORM TIME.
Why would it not be well for Governor
Ireland to follow the example ofthe COVER
nors of Illinois, Missouri and Others of the
northern and eastern states, and request
the municipalities and corporations OF Tex
as to adopt the change OF time to go into Ell
feet on neatly all the railroads in the
United States to-day? Varying standards
of time cause wide confusion, which uni
| form time reconcies. Texas railroads, we
believe-certainly the Gould roads, whose
lead all others must follow-have generally
agreed to adopt the time of the ninetieth
degree OF west longitude. The ninetisth
parallel passes few miles east of st. Louis,

capital of Texas. Its time IL, therefore.
twenty-eight minutes, or about half an
hour ahead Of the average time througbout
Texas. To make the official and general
time of the state correspond with that time,
and agree with the railroad timetables, IL
will be necessary TO set watches and clocks
forward some twenty. eight minutes. This
change is not very great, and would not be
noticed after the first few days.-[Fort
