Guarding Against EpidemIcs.

WASHINGTON, December 10.-At the
conference of the health officers and doctors
of the Sternberg Robe and Raymond COM
mittee on disinfectants, appointed at the
st. Louis Convention, there was presented
an important report on that subject in
which it was stated that the most of the
well advertised disinfectants now in the
market are utterly unreliable, and the de-
fectlve States and cities were then called
in order for reports, stating the sanitary
condition and regulations and what special
preparation is being made in each locality
20 resist and restrict cholera.
The reports, so far as made. gave brief
sanitary survey of several States. In the
course of his report for Kentucky DIR. Nc
Cormack referred incidentally to the epi-
demic disease recently prevailing IN the
mountains in the eastern portion of that
State and Virginia and stated that a compe-
tent medical inspector had zen sent by
the State Board of Health OF entucky to
the afflicted district to stigate the
outbreak. His (McCorm@ information
indicated that in the ne Ius far received
from that locality ther 5 some exagger-
atlOn. W0en, u0WeV ne SnOulQ receive
a report from the Inspector and should
have had an analysis made of the water,
to which the disease is attributed, he would
be able to speak more confidently on the
subject.
After receiving reports from about eleven
States the conference adjourned until to-
morrow
The members Of the conference had an
audience with the President this afternoon.
Erastus Brooks, President of the confer
ence made an address, in which he thanked
the President for the interest he had taken
in matters relating 10 the public health
and expressed the hope that he would aid
them in accomplishing the objects of the
conference.
The President replied briefly, saying that
he and the Secretaries OF State and Treasury
were al present considering the subject of
the importation OF rags from infected
ports and hoped a committee might be ap-
pointed by the conference to confer with
him on the subject. Secretary Freling-
huysen in the course of informal talk, re-
marked that he thought the best place for
disinfecting rags was at the port of export.
A majority of the delegates were of the
same opinions. Arrangements were made
for further consultation on the subject.

Chinese Restriction.

WASHINGTON, December 9.-Senator
Miller says the Supreme Court Chinese de-
cision would create considerable feeling on
the Pacific coast, but he hoped the courts
there would take the pains to carefully ex-
anime into the testimony submitted in
favor of the admission of Chinese under
this parole testimony, and develop the fact
that wholesale perjury is being practiced
to get Chinese into the country. He said
he deemed it very probable that the Pa
cifc coast Congressman will introduce
and push through another bill sc carefully
framed as to shut out, despite judicial de-
cisions, new arrivals of Chinese.

OnnOSitiOn to Dakota !.

WASHINGTON, December 10.-Mr. Vest
addressed the Senate to-day in opposition
to the admission of Dakota. He contend
ed that the population was not enough to
entitle it to representative in Congress,
and that it would to a certain extent be a
disfranchisement of the States already IN
the Union to give the present population
of Dakota two representatives in the
United States Senate as well as represen-
tative in the lower House of Congress The
demands, he said, to have been made since
1870 for the admission of the Territory had
been the demands of ambitious politicians

Sherman-Davis Controversy.

WASHINGTON. December 11.-Secretary
Lincoln said to-day. in speaking of the
Sherman-Davis controversy, that he had
received no communication whatever from
General Sherman on the subject, and knew
nothing about the alleged conspiracy letter.
IF such letter is in the War Department"
he said, 'it is in the rebel archives division"

and insufficient clerical force employed
there. The Secretary added. 81 do not

BUSY BURGLARS.
They Seem as wide Awake as The
Police are Sleepy,
A Dog who Ought to Wear a Star.

Sunday night was a busy one for the
burglars, but they did not make any
very heavy hauls to pay them for their
trouble. The greatest plumber taken
was at the store OF the Empkie hardware
company. Here they got nineteen of
the very best revolvers in the house. En-
trance was gained by the rear, the wire
netting protecting the glass being taken
of completely, and a large plate of glass
removed, and left broken in tho alley
way.
An attempt was made to enter Oliver
& Graham's gun store. The window was
cut So that the key on the inside could
be reached and turned, but the attempt
ended there, the fellows having apparent
ly been frightened away. This doubt
less occurred between s 80 and 9 o'clock,
as Will Oliver was at the store until the
former hour, and at the latter hour Mr..
Viedenburg entered the store, he sleep
ing there nights.
ShllS bSiNSuSST HluCS was Sh'oiSo
also, but the dog "Sam" who has already
gained the reputation of being n of the
most intelligent dogs in the city, evil
IDENTIFY frightened the fellows from taking
anything. Earlier in the evening Mr..
Adolph and other friends, who had been
down to see Mr.. Schwenger who is quite
i'll, on returning to Bechtele's hotel, were
followed by 'Sam," and a little later n
of MIR. Schwenger's employees came up
after the dog, and took him
back to stay at the saloon one night.
About 2 o'clock "Sam" came up to Bech-
tele's and made such a fuss that, knowing
the dogs intelligence, it was readily un-
derstood that the dog wanted some n
to go with him. One of the policemen
went accordingly back with the dog, and
there found that the door had been forced
open by thieves. That dog ought to have
a star and go on the force as a regular.
The residence of T. p. Treynor in
Lewis township a short distance from the
city was entered Friday night, and a
shotgun, a rifle and $50 in money taken.
No clue is obtained yet pointing to the
thieves.
The residence of Richard Hynes on
North Eighth street wa also among the
places visited. A suit of clothes, a clock
and some small articles were taken.

Already schemes are being perfected
to nullify prohibition in the large cities

One plan is to put the beer up into pack
ages, quarts, gallons, OF casks, and then
to pack the same into loose barrels labeled
sugar or merchandise. While these
marks will be understood by the railroad
boys, and mean handle with care" tho
law will be evaded and the consumer
happy.

the officers of most states in the union.
Ii our fathers were right, this bill is not
democratic, but favors the one man power.
That the example was Immediately at.
tempted to be copied in regard to the city
of Boston by the Massachusetts, l%egislS-
ture, with a two-thirds republican major
ity, emphasizes this construction. IL tho
democracy will permit the republicans,
boiling or regular, to nominate its caudi-
date for president for it, why may not
this principle be carried through all
branches of our government
Again, Mr.. Blaine is q protectionist,
and New York has become the greatest
manufacturing state in the Union, and
Connecticut and New Jersey are in pro.
portion equally interested in tho tariff
question. Now, everybody knows that
upon that question Gen. Hancock was
beaten in New York, and everybody also
knows that the establishment of free
trade in this country would benefit Eng.
land end her dependencies more than all
other countries in the world. 1t will be
very difficult to convince a large class of
our citizens, especially those who are not
at all in love with England or her inst.
tutions or her treatment of Ireland, that
it is best to vote for the candidate of the
democratic party in favor of free trade,
and thus to play into the hands of our
old enemy, John Bull. Is it not an ad.
mitted fact that to carry New York is
necessary to the success of the democratic
party2 Can anybody who cannot recon
Gle all the differences in the party in
New York, and who will be open to local
.antagonisms, carry that state, however
great or high his qualifications may be2
Success at the coming election is not
only the duty of the democracy, but an
indispensable necessity; for failing to
carry tho election this year gives four
more years of power to tho republican
party, and under a bold and daring lead
or, of great ability, large resources, and
agile policy, who has shown more politi-
cal sagacity, and who, by his unaided
efforts, has welded more political power
than any other mar of the present gen.
Grafton, the party will so intrench itself
in the possession of the government
that its hold upon the nation cannot be
overthrown, in this generation, at least;
and, if at all, it will be done by some
new party of the people, rising from tho
debris of the present political organiza.
tions, more radical, more progressive,
and more devoted to tho interests of the
whole people against the aggression of
the few. This will be the true democra-
cy, which will make no entangling allan

AsIATIC cholera last visited the United
States in 1866, but except in few local.
lite it was not very virulent. 1t came
then from France to New York, and rap
idly extended as far west as Kansas. 1t
is not at all improbable that through the
vastly increased connections between the
two countries, France may again send us
the fatal germs. 1t is certainly we'll for
American cities, both east and west, to
be prepared for the unwholesome visitor,
