The American Microscopical Society
has concluded that the sponge is an
animal. The decision is supposed to
have been based on the fact that its
pores are open when it is full and that
it has plenty of sand. Though we have
not the authority of the scientists for it,
we venture the opinion that it will be

Snow Rlnckahp

DENVER, Feb. 19.-Snow blockade
throughout the San Juan district of
southern Colorado and it still contfn-
ues at Silverton. The wires worked
for few hours yesterday, but they
went down with snow slide. 1t was
the first communication Silverton had
with the outside world since the Sd.
Business of all kind is suspended at
Silverton. Other mining camps are
covered with snow six feet deep. In
some canyons where the road runs it
is from fifty to sixty feet deep. Peo-
pie have to use snow shoes to visit
their nearest neighbors. 1t Is thought
that the blockade cannot be broken
before April. Most of the camps have
run out of sugar, coffee and coal oil,
but have a supply of meat and flour
to last another month. Snow slides
occur daily. No loss of life Is report
ed, miners being careful to keep out
of their way. The snow is confined
entirely to the mountain districts.
none having fallen in Denver for two
months.

EATING POISON.

One Of our city butchers has pub
licly announced determination to
sell no more fresh pork, because, as
was stated, in the advertisement
making such announcement, diseased
hogs are being slaughtered and Of
ferred for sale in the city markets.
On such information THE STATES
MAN has instituted inquiry, and it is
found there is ample cause for alarm.
There is no doubt that good deal of
diseased pork has lately been sold in
Austin, and from the reports that are
being circulated, which are vouched
for by good citizens, there is at pres
ent quite a certainty that more of
this diseased meat may be exposed in
the city markets for sale. Those who
eat the unclean stuff, then, may reas-
onably enough begin TO feel qualms
of the stomach at what they do.
1t is certainly not very pleasant
thing to reflect upon, that savory
stews and broils and highly seasoned
saugages have lurking in them pois-
ons calculated to attack the healthy
body, to produce disease and misery
and even death. Some of the most ter
rible maladies known to man are pro-
duced through eating the meat of dis
eased animals. Trichinosis is one Of
the most fearful diseases known to man
and diseased pork causes it. The hog
is very unclean animal and is sub
ject to a great variety of diseases. A
we'll informed professional gentleman
of this city says there are many hogs
in this vicinity affected with typhoid
fever, and measles are very
common among the brutes. He is
satisfied he has seen meat in the mar
kets from animals affected with the
deadly fever. Such being the case, 1t
cannot be denied that people WHO eat
pork are trifling with precious life.
Forewarned is forearmed, and he who
eats pork now may any day, and by
preference, die the death OF a brute.
The American hog has been driven
out of Germany and France, and wis.,
dom would now drive the animal out
of Austin. 1t would, no doubt, be
sad deprivation to many to proceed
against the brute in peremptory man-
ner, but in the interest of health, and
even of life, especially for the we'll
being of animated Africa let this mar
keting of diseased pork be stopped.
THE STATESMAN does not pretend to
say, or even to insinuate, that all
butchers sell diseased pork. The ma
jority of them would refuse to do so,
but any of them are liable, when there
is so much disease among hogs, to be
imposed on, to even make mistakes,
There ought to be thorough and
competent inspection of all meat sold
in the markets.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1884-02-21
THE press of the state is almost

THE press of the state is almost
unanimous in endorsing Senator Ter
rell's effort in opposition to free grass.
Had the principle at the bottom of his
bill prevailed, the cause of education
in Texas would have been at orce en-
HANGED S1,2OO,OOO without resort to
taxation. This principle must prevail
in the end, and under it, in ten years
from now, taxation for free education
will be unknown in Texas. The
fathers provided a vast domain for
sustaining the free schools of the state,
and when free grass is abolished the
purposes for which this grand pro-
vision were made will find its solution
in a revenue from these school lands,
sufficient to pay for the tuition of
every child in the state.

THE wool growers of Ohio are
more fierce in opposition to tariff re.
forms than any other people in the
country, and in consequence it is
thought not more than cne or two
members of Congress from that state
will vote for any bill proposing the
least reduction in wool. So far from
consenting to 20 per cent. reduction
of the duties on wool, most OF the
members from that state insist that
the old duties be restored, although
existing rates range from 3S to 70 per
cent. ad valorem. There is not in the
whole tariff list more unjustifiable
tax upon production than
the duties on wool. France,
Germany, England, and, in fact, all
the manufacturing countries of note,
whether upholding protection or
adopting free trade, all except the
United States admit wool free of
duty. Instead of permitting the man.
ufacturers of this country to obtain
their raw material in the open market
their government handicapS them
with heavy tax and then endeavors
to redress the balance with high duties
on woolens. The results are that for
eign competitors have the advantage
of the markets of the world as buyers
of wool and sellers of woolens, and
the home market is disordered and de-
pressed. When prices rise under the
operation of the tariff foreign impor-
tations pour in, and manufacturers
find themselves with enormous stocks
of goods on hand for which there are
no customers, as was the case last
summer, when many thousand cases
of woolens were sent to the auction
block and knocked down to the high
est bidder. 1t is truthfully argued
that in behalf of the taxes on wool
none of the sophistrie5 of protection
can be pleaded with any show of
plausibility. The rude labor that is
employed in tending sheep does not
come into competition with "pauper
labor" of Europe, and its wages are
not enhanced to the amount OF
one cent by the duties on wool
The largest fortunes made in WOO
production have been accumated in
Australia, where there Is no protec
ton, and Australian wool is ever
made to compete with American
wool in American markets, whils
American products cannot be made te

Important Arrests.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 19.-It transpiret
tonight that J. HI. Hall, who was ar
rested here last Saturday, is charged
with being one of the murderers OF
Chas. Mcmahon, a wealthy farmer
living five miles from Mount Pulasky
ILL.,, and his two farm hands, Robert
Matheny and John Carloch, in August
1882. The arrest was made by Pin.
kerton'S detectives but they would
give no information in regard to the
matter and started with the prisoner
for Lincoln. Illinois, the county
seat of Logan county, in which
the murder was committed
They also had in custody, but whetIl-
er under arrest could not be learned. a
man named David Long. The murder
was an atrocious one and created in
tense excitement, the entire country
being aroused to the highest pitch,
and rewards are offered by the state,
county and relatives amounting to
$4,000.
The bodies of McMahon, Matheny,
and Carloch were found August 81,
1882, in tall grass near McMahon'd :
house, with their feet hobbled, mouths
gagged and badly decomposed, indi-
eating they had been dead two or
three days. The crime was evidently
committed for robbery, it being be-
lieved that McMahon had a large
sum of money in the house. Pinker-
tons detectives haYe been working on
the case Tor some time. Two OF
three others will soon be arrested.

THE PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION

IT IS not generally known that a
bill has already PASSED the Senate and
is now pending III the House, provid-
ing that in case of the death or re-
moval Of both president and vice
president, the presidential duties shall
successfully devolve upon members of
the cabinet in the order named in
their creation. The provision for
a succession now is very objection
able, since it does not provide for a
presidential succession named and
chosen by the people or by their di-
rect representatives. The bill, re-
ferfed to, now under consideration,
has the same objections. Mr.. Ham
mond, of Georgia, has also introduced
bill, which more nearly covers
that sort OF defect than any
thing yet presented. He asks
that a constitutional nendment
be submitted providing for the cleo
tion, along with the president, of
three vice-presidents. Objection is
raised to this proposition, that, it be-
ing difficult 20 find men fit to be presi-
dent taking the vice-preSidential NOM
ination, it would be still more difficult
to find men who would take second
and third vice-presidencies. The
weight of conservative opinion
is in favor Of a perma-
nent electoral college empowered to
name presidential successors when
extraordinary occasion may require,
new electors to be chosen every four
years as now. This, it seems, would
assure the continuance of the admin
istration in the hands of the political
party entitled to it, and would fulfill,
In case of second choice, the intent
of the constitution more fully than is
done now, when the selection of the
president and vice president is really
made by political conventions, the
electors merely giving formal effect
to the decision of the convention of
that party which majority Of
them adhere. BY amending article II.
of the constitution this would
be rendered practicable, for states
themselves have all made provision
for filling vacancies in the cleo
toral college, which could be made eff
fective in keeping it full, which all that
is requisite is, that provision should
be made for the immediate reassem-
bling of the college, in case Of va
cancy in the Office of either president
or vice-president, for the purpose of
choosing vice-president, allowing
the vice-president first chosen to be-
come president, as at present, in case
of the death, removal or disability of
the latter officer. Provision could be
made to place the executive duties tenn
porarily in the hands of some officer
of the government in case of the |
death of both the president and vice
president before the electoral col
lege could reassemble. This plan is
suggested as not only simple but COM
ing nearer popular expression than |
else suggested; and, yet,
no bill containing such propositions |
is before congress.

luton from the board of trade of Min
neapolis and the chamber of COM
merce of st. Paul. opposing the for
feiture of the land grants of the
Northern Pacific railway. Referred.
Bills reported favorably and placed
on the calendar: Defeating to the
city OF st. Louis certain strip of
land for street property.
Bills introduced and referred:
by Senator Harrison-For the ad-
mission of the state of Dakota into
the Union Oh an equal footing with
original states.
By Senator Vest-To provide for
carrying on improvements of rivers
and harbOrs by contract.
The Senate took up and passed the
bill fixing the terms of the United
States courts in the Eastern and North
ern districts of Texas. 1t fixes the
terms as follows-At Galveston on the
first Mondays In March and Noyem-
ber; at Tyler on the esecondMondays in
January and May; at jefferson on Sec
ond Mondays in February and Septem-
Der; at Dallas on the second Monday

March and third Monday in October;
at Waco on the second Monday 10
April and third Monday in November.
The bill to provide agricultural
lands for the Southern band of Ute
Indians in lieu of lands heretofore
provided for the allotment to them,
passed. 1t provides for the removal
of these Indians from Colorado to
Utah.
The Senate resumed the considera-
tion OF the bill providing for the
national bank circulation.
Senator Pugh spoke in favor of Sem
ator Plumb's amendment.
Senator Coke followed and favored
the passage of either Senator Plumb's
or Senator Vests amendments provid-
ing for the issue of treasury notes as
the bank circulation retired.
Senator Vest then addressed the
Senate Oh his amendment. He said
he knew that he was in a hopeless
minority in the position to the nation
al banks as factors in the circulation
of currency, but he would express his
views freely. Heseverely condemned
the banks and the methods adopted by
them to secure the perpetuation of
their power.
Senator Jones, of Florida, opposed
the proposition of Senator Vest, and
defended the banks.
Senator Call thought all the pro-
posed measures defective.
Senator Plumb modified his amend
ment by clause providing that, if
when the national bank circulation
shall be surrendered it be not taken
up by other national banks within |
thirty days the secretary of the treas
ury shall issue its equivalent in treas
notes, etc, and by adding at the close |
of his amendment the following:
The true intent and meaning of this |
section is to be that the volume of |
paper money outsts nding, exclusive |
Of gold and silver certificates, shall re-
main as now existing"
The Senate then adjourned.
