THE MEANiYa or PLEURo- pNEUuoNL4

| THE MEANING or PLEUR0- PNEUMONIA
The conviction decpens, the more the matter is
looked into, that there is a disguised hand OF
self interest back of the current agitation OF
alleged animal disease. But if the Jacobs of
cOntagion thought to build on any supposed
Congressional blindness, they counted without
that watchful host OF the public who have
learned wisdom By unpleasant and costly cx-
pericncc. 1t is generally admitted now that the
great swine scare Of five or six years ago was
"n0tOrously sensational and absurd" and pcO-
pie do not forget that the present anxiety Is
practically under the same auspices, and there
fore they not unreasOnably suspect that the real
purpose now, as it was then, is to provide more
easy places at Government expense. That IS
the view taken by the fifty dealers at the great
Chicago stockyards, who last year handled cat
tie valued at 5000, 600, 900, and who day or
two ago forwarded to Washington vigorous
protest against the present scheme.
The same sentiment has found sharp express
sion in many other quarters East and West,
partly by way of letters to THE TRIBUNE, for
all of which we shall hardly find room in print.
But we select for use this morning sample
from a dairyman and stocl-kcepcr widely

which he has never been able to find. He uses
the bush hook in this case, thinking heroic
treatment ncedful. He gives hint or two
about the foreign bearings of the agitaton-of
which more might proftably be said. He re-
minds readers that Government has already
provided ample quarantine against invasion
from Europe-and the doctors do not claim that
the disease il spontaneous, but always imported
Our correspondent shows also clear insight
into the whole business, Of which, unless nipped
in the bid, he is sure we see only the bold begin

The Long Island authorities, near and far, are
indeed unfortunate. They have arrested a large
humber of persons lately ON the charge of being
connected with one or more of the murders or
murderous assaults that have taken place at
Oyster Bay and other towns since last fall yet
in every case but one they have caught the
wrong persons. The exceptional prisoner was
the.mulatto Charles Rugg. There seemed to be
reasonable ground to suspect that this fellow
really did attack the Spragues, if not the May
bees and Townsends as well. so he was locked
up in the Long Island City jail-Only to escape
yesterday.
New-York tribune., 1884-02-18

Mr.. Beecher, who has an excellent habit of
giving good advice incidentally in his sermons,
made some remarks yesterday which certain
unhappy Christians in this city might well lay
to heart. He declared that it is better to burn
down church than to quarrel in it and that
calling a council will not settle the difficulty.

The fears often expressed of late that the
Republican voters of this State would in some
way be cheated out of chance to elect delegates
TO the National Convention by Congressional
districts, have never seemed to us tobe founded
in reason At all events they may be cast aside
now The Kings County Republicans last week
expressed their preference for Congressional
district conventions in a way not to be miSin-
terpreted; and it will be seen by our Albany
letter this morning that the County Commit
tees i'll a number of interior counties will take
the same attitude this week. In some districts,
even, preparations for the conventions are al
ready well under way. Judging from appear
ances therefore, the duties OF the State Con-
ventiOn will be limited to selecting the four
delegates-at-large. and nominating two Judges

tbe measure is reasonably sufficient and at the

The safe arrival of General Gordon at khar-
toum, the capital of the Soudan, will cause
widespread rejoicing. So great is the conf
dence of the English in this remarkable man
that most people will be inclined to think that
his arrival in the beleaguered city practically
puts an end to the trouble in the Soudan. 1t
does not, of course. The garrison of khartoum Is
increased by two or three men-one OF them

Can he organize a successful defence for the

1t seems to be chronic complaint in all our
courts, State and Federal alike, that the dock
cts are overcrOwded and the Judges over
worked. Certainly the complaint is just so far
as the United States Circuit Court in this dis
trict is concerned, as will be seen by the state
ments in an article on the subject published
elsewhere in this impression. This condition OF
things causes great Inconvenience to importers
who have suits against the Government grow
ing out of trouble at the Custom House. Only
two months in the year in the Circuit Court can
be given up to the trial of Government causes.
Moreover, the Supreme Court docket is about
thee years behind, which involves great delay
in getting the opinion of the highest judicial
authority on questions of law which are ap-
pealed. The result is that it is not uncommon
for Custom House cases to be in the courts SIX
years. The remedy for the evil seems to be sim
ply an increase in the judicial force of the Cir
cult Court Congress could not be in better
business than considering some measure OF re-
lief for this state of affairs.

They Are Jubllant Thinking to
wound Gov. Murray.
Gov. Murray Of Utah has proved .
veritable thorn in the flesh to the Nor
mons. and they have spared no effort to
break down his influence upon Congress
and the Eastern public. He has, hon.
ever, held them firmly and has restrained
them as far as possible under the defec-
tive laws Of the Territory, and the Saints
have never yet been able to raise any
thing against him; but now IL seems they
have gone into his record Of past years
and dug up an old charge against him.
A special from Salt Lake last evening
says:
In an interview this afternoon Gov.
Murray says that no charges were ever
fled in the Department OF Justice against
him when he was Marshal Of Kentucky
years ago; that the conspiracy to defame
him 10 now well understood here and in
Washington; that the Mormon agents
from Salt Lake and their allies and paid
attorneys In Washington and New York,
are making O determined effort to destroy
his usefulness. Gov. Murray sent the
following dispatch to Springer this after
noon:
Hon. william NJ. Springer, Wash
ington, D. c.: Press dispatches re-
ceived here show that statements are
before your committee rejecting upon
my official conduct as Marshal Of Ken
lucky some years ago. Such statements
are wholly false and malicious. desire
to notify your committee that I hold my
self In instant readiness to meet and crush
any snch charges.
(Signed) ELI II. MURRAY.
The Mormon press is jubilant over the
special dispatches sent from Washington
by Elder Caine. the Mormon delegate
from Utah. announcing the discovery OF
these pretended charges against Gov.
Murray. Every effort is being made by
the Mormons to get the Governor out Of
their way.
