Mr.. Won EisendecSer, the German Min
lister, said to reporter Of the Associated
Press to day, in reply 10 inquiries In re-
gard to the return of the Lssker resolution,
that he carried out his instructions. His
governments action in the matter was, he
said, two fold. In the first place it was
compelled for important reasons relating
to the internal policy OF Germany not to
send the resolution to the Reichstag, aud
vet il could not merely retain it sincs that
might have implied indiiferencs or dis
courtesy, and the course pursued by the
government was certainly the most
courteous that the situation permitted.
The Minister felt entirely satisfied, hss said,
that there wss rot disrespect or discourtssy

to appear in all the local papers, but
in such cases even, it is desirable that
they should not be told IN the same

When the cattle disease is said to be

is manifested concerning it and every
effort is made to keep it from spreading.
If laws would be enacted that would
prohibit the plague, how quickly all
classes and all parties would unite to

sensible and right, for thousands of
dollars are at stake and fortunes are in
danger.
a calamity worse than the cattle

A SUGGESTION.

Last week in forcible appeal, the
ladies of the temperance union made a
request of the voters of Kirksville.
That request was certainly a reason
able one
They ask that the Temperance ques-
ton be squarely put before the people
of the town for theii decision.
They feel that they have been badly
treated in the matter of license by the
old board, and there are plenty Of
others of the same opinion.
We move that the ladies of Kinks.
vile choose ticket themselves and
submit, it TO the voters Of the town.
Any right minded gentleman would
consider it an honor to be placed on
such ticket, and we believe the vot-
ers OF Klrksville would give it such a
boom" as would surprise the natives.
We would like to vote for ticket
nominated by the ladies regardless Of
politics" The men have made so
many failures in that line heretofore
that the experiment would be an inter-
esting one.
Give the politicians the go by and
keep all the old "Chronics" off the
ticket. This is campaign year and
the politician is afraid of hurting his
strength" Give him a rest. There
are plenty Of good men in both parties
to choose from. Men who would just
as soon sign a remonstrance" before
an election as after it men who have
no axes to grind or favors to ask. Put
them on.
This whlskey question is a serious
one-especially to the women and
children. Men may laugh over 1t, but
mothers with boys growing up into
manhood think Of their own home cir
cles, and shudder.
If you have not read that appeal OF
the ladies in last weeks GRAPHIC, hunt
it up and read it.

High License or Prohibition.
(Contributed.)

We believe no man has right to IL
cense crime. but men may as well be
allowed to license-at a high price
theft and murder, because fewer peo-
pie would then be able to commit these
crimes, as to license the sale OF that
which causes tour-fifths of the crimes
committed in our land. Our opinion
of High License, comedies exactly with
that of Rockport H., man who says
at is an argument from the bottomless
pit, sugar coated for Church members
to swallow easily"
The law should not sanction that
which is known to be wrong, even
though it be an industry which contrib
utes over S74,ooo,oo annually to the
government. Hon. Theodore Freling-
huysen has very truly said "Ifmen will
engage in this disastrous traffic. if they
will s,oop to degrade their reason and
reap the wages of iniquity, let then no
longer have the law book as a pillar,
nor quiet conscience with the opiate of
a court license"
But farther, High License will never
remove the evil. or even materially les
sen intemperance until 1t is high enough
to take off the eight cents profit, there
now Is on ten cent drink, for that is
tie valHe,a6le Peint of those who are
in this business, Therefore
let US have prohibition, for it will please
those temperance people who think it
will eventually prohibit, and cannot IN
ure the party opposing temperance, if
it does not prohibit.

"ERGOTISM."
No Contagious Cattle Plague in Adalr
County.

1t gives US pleasure TO corroborate
the statement made in regard TO the
cattle disease, in our last issue, by the
added authority of an eminent veterin-
AIRY, DR.. c. H. Sweetapple, of Ontario,
Canada, Secretary Of the Ontario Vet
Urinary Association and Provincial
Registry.
DR.. Sweetapple spent several days
investigating the disease. We under.
stand he was sert here at the instance
of the National Lire .Stotk journal
of Chicago, for the special purpose OF
determining whether the much dreaded
foot and mouth disease had really OBJ
tanned foot mold here or not.
A GRAPHIC representative called up
on DR.. S. on his return from the at.
fected herds where he had spent a large
part of Wednesday and Thursday. We
learn that he had visited every farm
where the disease is known to be prev.
alent and closely examined the affected
herds, as well as the surroundings
food, water, etc. He determined at
once, by the symptoms that it was MOI
the foot anG mouth disease, and fur
ther that it was not simply freezing as
many supposed. He then began to
search Tor the local cause of the out.
break. Found nothing significant un-
til he visited the hay mows. Gather
ing up handful of red top seed he APP
piled the microscope and found great
quantities Of ergot. THIS apas the case
tn every instance where the cattle were
suffering from the disease. He found
on several farms that the cattle were
affected with gangrene ofthe extremities
and hoofs, feet and bones were slough
ing off from its effects. Wherever
this state of affairs existed
there also existed ergot in the
hay. At Mr.. Leavltt's farm where the
cattle were healthy he found no sign of
ergot. He brought in samples of seed
from each place visited and at the
places where the disease was most pre-
valent. there the parasitic fungus was
most plentiful. We looked at the sam
pies under the glass and the existence
OF this poison was plainly discernible.
Ergotine, as defined by Webster, is a
parasitic fungus, having a spur like
form, ofnarcotic and poisonous quail
ties, and is found most usually in rye
though it may exist in other cereal
grasses. We think this settles the mat.
ter and We congratulate the farmers of
this county that the disease Is thus
proved to be the result OF local causes
and is not the terrible and destructive
contagious disease at first supposed.
