Weekly Chillicothe crisis. (Chillicothe, Livingston Co., Mo.) 1878-19??, 1884-01-17

The assistant secretary of the treas
ury has transmitted 10 the house the
report OF the cattle commission, con-
sis,ing of Jas. Law, f. +. Thayer and
j. II, Sanders, for tho past year. The
commission recommended that the ra-
tional government prevent the ship
ment nOrthward out OF the area infect
ed with Texas fever of all cattle what
soever, excepting from the beginning OF
November to the beginning OF March.
Special attention was invited by the
assistant secretary to the recomenda-
ton by the commission that the secre-
tary OF the treasury be empowered to
order the slaughter and safe disposal Of
imported herds that may bo found in
fected on their arrival in the United
States or may develop dangerous con-
tagious diseases during quarantine; that
he be also empowered to have all rum.
inants (other than cattlc) and all swine
impofted into the United States sub
iected to inspection by veterinary sur
geons and if necessary, to prevent the
spread of contagious disease, slaughter
ed or submitted to quarantine until it
shall be considered minfected, aud that
an appropriation of 81, 500, 600 be made
to defray the expense of preventing a
further spread of the lung plague
among the cattle of this country and
stamping out the plague now existing.
A supplemental report by a majority OF
the commission, signed by Law ~ Thay-
= ,,f lot do A tbnn tkn Irst rn
port, was also submitted. This report
deals especially with the inadCquacy to
the end sought to be accomplished OF
the inspection of cattle at ports of eX-
port, and recommends that such inspect
ION and guarantee be delayed. Their
reason tor doubling the adequacy OF
the inspection of ports of export, is
neither the lung plaques nor the Texas
fever, which will be certainly detected
by such examination, because those
diseases pass through an average stage
of incubation of thirty days, during
which it is impossible for even the most
accomplished expert to detect the pres
enco of II germ in the system. The
cattle which had been exposed to in
fection in the stockyards for several
days before the inspection, but three
weeks later, when they arrived in
foreign ports, would show marb ed
symptoms of disease. The result would
destroy the efficacy of certificates of
inspection as guarantees to a foreign
importer of cattle.
The report clos cs with the statement
that so long as the infected districts of
this country cannot be secluded, the
landing of infected cattle in England,
from this country cannot be prevented,
and so long as American cattle show
this disease on arrival in England, we
can hope for no modification of the re-
strictions of that country agains Ameri-
can cattle.

ISL A COALITION

| II il reported that the Fort Worth tia
zotto will support Cob. WASH JoNEs for
Governor. The statement must be made
with the authority Of the Gazette before
the HERALD can believe II. The HERALD
does not believe the one issue of free
grass will produce any serious
dcfcctions from the Democratic
party, whether of newspapers
or individuals. The HERALD
believes Cor. WASH JOKES, like any
distracting element, will, If he does run
for Governor, do so upon platform,
unwrittcn, comprehensive, with protoc-
ton procliyitics or not, a. IL suits him,
with free-grass or not ms II suits him,
with any and all plausible platitudcs
that will secure votes for him.
Such governor, elected on
such mongrcl scheme, would seriously
impcril the prestige of the State. This
much IL IL necessary To say, not from the
rcmotest fear of such II contingency, but
! to introduce the inquiry as to what con-
ncction there Is between the hints from
various quarters that the frce-grass elc-
mcnt will 90 to the Houston con
vcntion predetermined to bolt
it If il does not carry its point, and the
avowed frec-grass candidacy of Coz.

uttcranccs of such prominent opponents

and JUDGE CARROLL, except that these
gentlemen do not mention, even If they
favor, n convention. They come from
Col. WASH JONES in various significant
his chances for election on the
basis of Gov. IRELAND's majority in
ISL. Cor. JONES may hope for change
to him of the twenty thousand free-grass
votes alleged To he pledged To bolt the
Democratic nomination for Governor.
The HERALD attempts to deliver
no lecture before there is oc-
casion for II. II feels no
alarm for the success of the Democratic
State ticket. But the coalition ola non
dcscript politician, tinctured with every
catch-penny issue that involves party
distracting elements, with n dissat-
isicd portion of the Democratic
party, for the purpose of debating
to tho State convention of Democracy,
suggests n situation that calls for notice.
1t is not n question as to whether the
party will give respectful consideration
to the wishes of the frcc-grass element.
This it will do. But the voice of the
people is even now against that element.
1t is question us to whether the party
will submit to its dictation from any
wing of the party, particularly when the

accord with the Efforts of the Chicago
board 10 secure control of exchange re-
ports Of markets. The Chicago commit
tee reported an outrage committed by
u huckot-shop clique, which II stated by
tho Times ~ follows; last Sunday the
Western Union Telegraph company was
testing its grain wire, whom evidences of
the wire having been tempered with were
discovered. The manager made n gnlyan-
omctcr test, which proved that his SUR
mise was correct and no time was lost
In sending out line ropaircrs To search
for the point whore the difficulty lay.
They soon succeeded In locating II he
meath the new building OF the open board
of trade, on Pacific avenue. Inycstiga-
ton revealed that under the iioor of the
building the wire had been tapped and
the work of running n connecting wire
to the saloon of Y. CoNLEy, just south of
the building, had been commenced. II
was further discovered that tho plan of
the perpetrators Of this deed was TO con-
meet the saloon with an acoustic tclc-
phone on Dearborn street, from which
point the buckct-shops would be sup
piled with the quotations stolen from
the Board of Trade wire. Tho Western
Union officials called a meeting with
the Quotation Committee of the board
on Monday, and conference was held.
Efforts were made to discover the
identity of the wirc-tappers, but, al
though one or two persons were sus-
pcctcd of completely in the scheme. no
evidence has been found to confirm the
suspicion. The two petitions, one TO do
away with the afternoon session of the
board and the other to hold continuous
sessions from ~ II. m. until Up. M, were
both referred to the Executive commit
tee. The petition TO make summer pork
regular, together with all the papers on
the subject, was referred second time
To the committee on inspection.

NEARLY ALONE.

II is to be regretted to see the Gazette,
which Is usually so child-likc and
bland, getting peevish over the
frec-grass question. IL was presump-
tous enough to believe If il raised the
cry of free grass, the whole world and
the rest of mankind would yell "frcc
grass" But the leading papers Of the
State, the editors of which are supposed
to have MS much knowledge of the ques-
ton and rs much patriotism ~ the
Gazette, are in favor of the lease system
as it now is, with probably II few modiii-
cations and changes. The following are
some of the leading dailics of the State
that oppose free grass: Galveston News,
Galveston Record, Houston Post, Hous-
ton journal, Houston Age, San Antonio
Express, San Antonio Times, Austin
Capitol, Austin Statesman, Waco Day,
Waco Examiner, Abilene Reporter, Fort
Worth Democrat, Dallas Times, Corsi-
cana Courier, while ut least nine-tcnths
of tho wccklios in the state are adverse
to the measure. The daily papers per-
manently advocating free grass, are the
Fort Worth Gazette, owned by the largest
cattle syndicate in Texas, and the Colo
RADIO Clipper, because ii don't know any
better than to iniurc its own section by
an cndcavor to keep out actual settlers.
1t is to be hoped the Gazette will discuss
the question coolly, with its wonted good
humor, and show no exhibitions of
tcmpcr

STATE POLITICS.

The outlook for the National De
mocracy is favorable, but perhaps there
is no state in which the party is in better
trim in State politics than in Texas.
The opposition will find that the people
are cminently satisfied with the admin
istraton of State affairs, and ii will be Il
laborcd and thanlilcss effort to attempt
an attack on the State government.
\ good school system has been de-
vsed and revenue sufficient to operate
il has been provided without any in
crease in taxation. The tax collected for
general purposes Is only III cents on the
hundred dollars, which Is less than il has
ever been since the THRoCKMoRToN adj
ministration, and is loOper cent. cheaper
than ii was under Republican extrava-
gance and misrulc. There are not few
Simon-purc Republicans, who have
property interests in Texas, who say
that they favor the Democratic admins
tration of State affairs.
The present administration has pro-
vided for doubling all the asylum capac-
tiles and preserved an efficient quaran.
tine without any increase in taxation
1t has abrogated the penitentiary lease
and the State is realizing four times AZ
much rs it was realizing under the lease
system. II has enforced the laws and
protected the frontier Mt small cost
II has realized considerable revenue
from the school lands, which adds to
educational facilities, and has invested
the school fund so as to realize
n much greater available fund.
II has been progressive and nj the same
time economical. 1t has put stop to
the sale of school lands at low prices i'm
unlimited quantities, and has adopted u
policy that will save these lands as
homes for the people, and at the same
time realize revenue for the education
of the children of the State who are now
thirsting for knowledge.
The great masses of the people feel
that the State Government is being
honestly, efficiently and economically
administered, and what some journals
take for Indifference is really supreme
satisfaction on the part of the people.
The HERALD believes the State ticket
will draw largely this fall from the Green
back and Republican ranks, and many
voters will come out who didn't vote
last fall. The disaflection on the tariff
and the grass question will not affect the
the State ticket to any great extent; ut
least not to the extent of cndangering
its success. The free-grass men, where
they are strong enough, will elect lcgis-
lators rejecting their sentiments, and
the tariff men will try TO do the same
thing as regards congressman.
The sentiment of the party has settled
very unanimously on IRELAND and
GIBBs for Governor and Lieutenant
Governor, because the one, as chief
executive, and the other rs an active
legislator, are closely identified with the
successful termination of important
questions Of State policy.
The Eighteenth Legislature may not
have been harmonious, but judged by
its enactmonts and the constitutional
amendments submitted, 1t gave evidence
Of statesmanship.

Why Mr.. Dillon Resigned.

OMAHA, NEB., June 20.-The following
is an cxty,ct from private letter writ
ten by Sidney Dillon to General Mana
ger Clark, of the Union Pacific, on the
lith inst. II is of interest as showing
that President Dillon's resignation was
not forced, but the result of mature de-
liberation: "My Dear Mr.. Clark-As
YOU are aware, II great many years have
passed since my connection with the
Union Pacific commenced, and from
that time up to the present, ! have
worked for the interest of the com
pany i'm every possible way. / have
grown old and gray in the service, my
age now being over 73 years, and / feel
that, according to the laws OF nature, l
remain on earth. Therefore IL seems TO
he n duty to myself to pass the remain
ing years Of my life in that rest and
quiet which think have earned after
so many years of labor. As You are
aware, during the past two years
have been sorcly afflicted, my
beloved Iona wife rv having ,nos suffered red
having finally been taken away, rending
my heart almost in pieces, weakening
my strength and causing me to feel u
Discrimination to bear the burden of
active life. For these reasons il was u
question in my mind last March, ut the
time of the annual election, whether !
should remain rs president Of the COM
pany for another year, but ! concluded
ut that time to do so. / have, however,
found the duties of the position so heavy
during the past year, and the necessities
of rest so great, that have now decided
to tender my resignation as president
to the board of directors ut
their meeting, to he held mt this
Office on the 18th instant, and insist upon
my resignation being accepted. ! shall
remain as n member of the Board of
Directors and of the Executive COM
mttec, and shall do everything in my
power to strengthen the company. |

ties of different issues, and ] believe
that IL will come out of its present DIM
cultics after while and he Ms valuable
