ABRAMS AND DOUCHERTy.

The Tavares Heraln occupies is
editorial columns in the last iss lie
with a solid endorsement of PEI Y
and Mabry, and an attack, equa ly
plain, on Dougher1y. 'Perry's Il
ection IS 4 necessity to FIorid ;"
says the Herald and we heartily
agree hereto. In saying that 1r.
Mabry is thoroughly honest AID
conscientious he is again in accc I'd
with us
Bat in preferring Bjs5ee to D,u-
gherty, Maj. Abrams VIII find hi n
self at odds with the best citizens Of
the district irrespective Of party. 1t
is is On axiom that convent IN
may nominate man so thoroughly
bad that his party associates are rot
bound to support him. But wi N
any one Of the prominence here D.
fore awarded to the editor Of the
Tavares Herald decides on sucl a
course, he should at least give as
reason and record for Lis condu t.
To us it certainly seems that the
charges made against Charles DCu-
gherty are carefully confined to in
vective and assertion; where is the
proof? 1t is urged that he has no
capacity; some of us at least think
his career in Florida has given album
dant evidence of ability. 1t is urg-
ed that he is no college. gradua, e;
since when has 4 diploma been held
a prerequisite to political honors? 1t
IS claimed that Dougherty "betray-
ed the democracy by voting against
the calling of convention two
years ago" 1t is evident that this
argument is not honestly made be-
cause Mabry did the same, and the
vote is not made reproach to him.
Did every democrat who voted o
sustain an express provision of tie
constitution betray his party? II 50
the democracy must plead guilty o
some of the worst charges of its OPP
ponents. The constitution express
ly preseribes how changes may be
made in the organic law of the land.

The majority of our representatives
at Tallahassee voted against the
"short cut" method; if these all be-
trayed "the party" the organization
is certainly at an end. For with
Mabry and Dougherty voted many
Of our truest and best, and these are
supported by all the traditions of
the party which has ever inculcat9d
obedience to law and order. Since
its inception the party has held the
constitution to be the supreme law
Of the land in fact as well as in the
DRY, and in claiming that needed
changes be made in accordance w
the Law, no one could be guilty of
treason to the party. He charg
that Dougherty was "bribed" ov
promises Of support to pay the bon
ded debt Of some counties in midcle
Florida. The burden of proof rests
with 5he accuser, and till this is
given no answer is demanded from
Doughertv or his friends.
But in finding consolation in the
idea that Dougherty may be beaten
i we will "swap votes" for Perry,
an0 give Bisbee another term. tne
gall OF the man is distinctly shown.
Perry would repudiate help gained
at the expense of any man on the
democratic ticket by virtue of those
very high qualities which stir the
admiration of the Herald. But
Abrams, to crafty his feelings,
which so far seems purely personal,
would involve tho party in the ba8cst
of "politioal trades" that 'Fjobbery
and political combinations" may
cease forever !"
When proofs are offered answers
may be made to the charges. Maj.
Abrams is a brilliant man, but he
will soon realize that such assertions
as are here made will in no wise
weaken Dougherty, strengthen Bis
bee, or rebound TO the credit of him
self.

Cattle Disease in Missouri.

ST. LoU1s. March 10 Governor Crittenden
has addressed a letter to the chairman of the
meeting recently held in Adair county, this
State, where the foot and mouth disease is said
to have appeared in which he advises the use of
prompt and vigorous measures TO stamp out the
disease and calls attention to certain laws on the
subject, and thinks them sufficient to meet the
emergency if properly enforced. He says he will
do everything in his power to assist the people
in staying the spread of the malady, and desired
to be kept informed on the condition of things
In reply to a request of f. II. Craig, formerly
inspector of the cattleyards at Brighton, Mid
ford and Cambridge, Mass, now a prominent
farmer and cattle raiser at Caldwell, this State,
who asks for the appointment of commission
with full power to effectively deal with the dis
ease, the Governor says he has no authority to
create such a commission, and expresses the be-
lief that the existing law is ample to protect any
community, if the people will use proper eXertion.
The opinion seems TO be growing. both in this
State and Kansas, that reports Of the disease
have been exaggerated. and that much, if not
all, sickness among cattle is the result Of foot
rot or frost bite, and not the foot and mouth dis
ease at all.

The Bonded Whisky Bill Finally Taken Up
for Consideration.
WASHINGTON, March 19.-Mr. Turner, chair
man of the committee on elections, reported a
resolution in the contested election case of Gar
rison vs.. Mayo, of Virginia declaring Mr.. CARR
son entitled to the seat The matter was post
poned until tomorrow.
The following committee reports were sub
mitted:
BY Mr. Cox, of New York, from the commit
tee on militia: For special and uniform instruc-
ton of State militia. Referred to the committee
of the whole
By Mr. Bland, from the committee on coinage
weights and measures Limiting the coinage of
double eagles, and to discontinue the coinage of
certain United States coins.
Mr.. Ellis, from the committee on appropria-
tons, reported the Indian appropriation bill
Referred to the committee of the whole
Then the long-expected struggle over the
whisky bill began.
Mr.. Blackburn, calling Mr. Springer to the
chair, moved to go into committee of the whole
on the revenue bills.
Mr.. Dowd raised the question of considera-
ton, and Mr.. Randall demanded the yeas and
nays.

Mr.. Hiscock objected to its consideration.
The objection was reported to the House.
which, by vote--yeas l37, nays 11S-decided to
consider the BILL and the committee resumed
the session, Mr.. Morrison taking the floor in
support of the bill. Before he had finished a
sentence, however, Mr.. White. of Kentucky
rose saying he had moved the committee rise for
the purpose of bringing a privileged matter be-
fore the House
The Chair stated that he had recognized the
gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Morrisonl, and on
Mr.. Whites taking an appeal, refused to notice
1t on the ground that an appeal was not in order
upon question OF mere recognition by the
Chair.
Thereupon Mr.. White rose to point of order
and said a member of the whisky ring was now
on the floor, when he had previously given his
pledge that he had no interest in any bill before
the House. Within a few days from making
that pledge he had appeared before the commit
tee on ways and means in support of the bill
and was now on the floor, as we'll as the editor
of the Courier Journal from a town where more
whisky was in bond than in any town in the
United States.
Mr. Blackburn submitted that this was not
point of order and said his colleague now had
no right to be heard upon it. The Chair ruled
it was not point of order.

day and to-day carefully examined their ac-

Legislature to-day in response to a resolution
asking the same. giving an accurate account of
the money received and how disbursed by the

(the remainder of the sentence was drowned IN
cries of order
Mr. Morrison then made a short statement as
to the purpose and object of the bill If this
business Of converting grain into alcohol existed
only to be taxed then the benehciaries of
this bill were entitled to no consideration
here. Considering ii as legitimate branch Of
the manufacturing industry. it was entitled to
be placed on an equal basis with other indus
tries. From this industry the government de-
rived more than one fifth of all its revenue In
the next few months there would be forced out
of warehouses %, 000, 900 gallons which must pay
a tax, and in the next few years 20, 600 900 gal
Ions, for much of which there will be no market.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue estl-
mated that the surplus, for which there would
be no market, would amount in the next two
years to A, 100000 gallons. In the years when
this whisky was made everything was over
done. Excessive production was not alone
in this industry, but it was common
to all larger producing interests of the country.
Producers were not able to compete in the sale
of alcohol in European markets with Germany.
This country fought the German people with
protective tariffs, and had to sell in the French
markets in competition with the subjects of i'll
natured Bismarck. Suppose this surplus was
purely the result of the speculative spirit of our
people, was that a good and satisfactory reason
why an industry of this magnitude should be
forced to pay taxes when the govern
ment had nothing to make by this en-
forcement! 1t was said this was
class legislation; that it was legislation
in the interests of a special few. That was not
fact This legislation was to undo as far as 1T
went special legislation against this industry
and put it as nearly might be on an equality
with all other articles that pay internal revenue
tax. If there was anything wrong in the bill the
friends of the measure wanted it to come out.
He therefore yielded to MIR. Blackburn, who ex
pressed the hope that the consideration of the
bill would be concluded to morrow.
The committee rose, and the House adjourned.
