Diseased Cattle.

CHICAGO, July 21.--The arrival of mum
Der Of sick cattle having been reported at
the Union Stock Yards In this city, an ex-
animation was made by a number of vet.
Urinary surgeons this morning wko are not
ready TO make an official report. The facts
will show, II ever they agree, that the dis.
ease Is Texas fever, superinduced by drink
ing water strongly impregnated with alkali.
The cattle have been securely quartered and
Isolated. Those In the lot that are unaffect-
ed are TO be slaughtered subject TO the
inspection Of the Health Department. Those
that are unable TO recover are being shot,
and those that are dropping will be held In
quarantine for further developments.

clare that the cattle were evidently diseased

BARNUM, the "mule" buying chairman of
the Democratic National Committee, q very
stupid, corrupt and inefficient barnacls, was
reelected TO that position at the Fifth Ave-
nue. Hotel conference on the oath. II does
not speak well for Cleveland that the pres.
sure that induced the committee to re-elect
Barnum came from Cleveland through his
managing partner, Blssell, and was . con-
ces,ion 10 Dan Manning and the "County
Democracy" of New York City as against
Tammany. Barnum is milestone. He
sunk Hancock and he will sink Cleveland.
His selection has settled the matter with
Tammany 10 whom he Is especially obnox-
ious, and Prince, who Is equally objection
able, was retained as secretary. Even the
Independents cannot accept Barnum without
wry faces and they have stomach enough for
anything. III the Territories had electoral
votes Bsrnum would lose every one Of them
for Cleveland. He even tried TO steal the
tickets awarded TO the Territorial delegates
TO the National Convention, and It was only
under threat Of Hon. Sam. Word, that he
would stay with him all night but that he
would get them, (and Word did camp with
him for some hours on the proposition), that
he finally yielded them up. If Cleveland
couldn't get rid OF Barnum rs his manager
be isn't smart enough to be President. All
things work together for good to those who
love the Republican party.

Contract Labor.

New YORK, July 24.-Notwithstandine
the recent authoritative statement regarding
the increase Of undesirable foreign contract
laborers In Pennsylvania, both the Times
and Herald this morning seem to favor the
system.
The Tunes says: "The importation Of men
able and willing to work under contract to
work out their passage money, although it
horrifes Blaine and Logan and the Califor-
mia hoodlums, 1t Is not grave public dan
GER"
The Herald says: "The condition of the
mining regions Of Pennsylvania and Ohio
will doubtless serve the Republican stump
speaker with examples of what fellows where
labor Is permitted TO be imported under con-
tract. 1t Is true labor which cost sl25 per
day has been supplanted by labor that Is paid
only 65 cents per day and even less. 1t Ii
true this labor Is supplied by Hungarians.
But only small number have been brought
under the contract. They are good laborsrs,
but cheap, and because they are cheap they
are prosecuted"
The Herald admits they don't intend to
stay In the country, and send nearly all they
earn out Of It. II asks: els It meant that
the Republican party Is willing to shut out
voluntary immigration,"
The Evening Post joins Its anti-Blaipe
contemporaries, the Times and Herald, In
declaring the legislation against contract Ia
Dor impracticable If not impolitic. Amer ad-
hitting that oil the parties this year are
thoroughly united against the system, the
Postsays: Contract labor Is simply another
word for labor, and that the United States
will deliberately undertake TO prohibit the
immigration Of lab,ring men, We shall be-
lieve when we see it." It says, Ironically, |
we had better adopt the anti. Chinese plan. |
We forbid Chinese TO come here; why not
also the Poles, Hungarians and Italians, and
any nation whose laborers are willing to
work for too little pay.
