A Great Discovery.

Mr.. VIM. Thomas, of Newton, Ia, SAYS:
''My wife has been seriously affected with a
cough for twenty-five wears and this spring
more severely than ever before. She had
used many remedies with out relief, and being
urged 10 try DIR. Kings New Discovery, did
so, with most gratifying results. The first
bottle relieved her very much, and the second
bottle has absolutely cured her. She has not
had so good health for thirty years. Trial

Among the many differences which
are observed between republican ana
democratic disposition OF the federal
patronage none is more marked han
that of its use to further political ends.
The republicans openly and notorious
" dickered in offices to advance their
party influence; they disposed OF
offices for certain considerations; noto-
riously so in the case of the rebel brig
adler. Malone, who was given the con-
troll of the federal patronage OF an ell
tire state, just as unblushingly as a man
would hand over a bushel Of potatoes
for a proper sum of money. This diff
ference between the management OF
the two parties is particularly to be
observed in the election OF a United
States senator from Illinois. If the re-
publican party had been in power in
such a contingency as the tie in the
Illinois legislature who doubts for a
minute that it would have used federal
patronage as a bride to secure the cleo
ton of John A. Logan :? No one.
Washington City would have been the
arena upon which that battle would
have been fought, and the jndicious use
of a consulate or two, or of a marshall
ship, or district attorneyship, would
have decided the contest for the repub-
lican party if any weakened demo-
Gratis could have been found to accept
them. Talk about bribery and corrup-
| ton at the ballot box in Chicago! The
bribery and corruption of the kind here
alluded to had been practiced so long
by the republican party that it had
come to be thought no more than CON-
mendable political sagacity and diplo-
macy. But there is nothing of that
sort done by Mr.. Cleveland, or even
thought of by him. Here this contest
has been going on for months, and no
man has presumed to say that the
presidents hand was in the Illinois
| senatorial contest. Had it been there,
that contest would long since have
been decided; but Mr.. Cleveland
Justly regards such use of public
patronage as wrong, demoralizing and
debasing-no better, in fact, than
bribery with money.

The Oklahoma colonists at Arkansas
City had a meeting Wednesday. Capt.
Couch stated that in the face of what
had taken place in Washington there
was but one thing for the coloniststo do,
and that was to wait and see if the
promises made by Secretary Lamar re-
garding the cattlemen would be kept.
In the past just such promises had been
made and broken, but he believed that
what Secretary Lamar said he would
stand by and they must wait and see.
Capt. Couch closed his remarks by
stating that if, after a proper length OF
time, the authorities at Washington did
not see to it that the cattlemen were
elected from Oklahoma, and did not
keep their promises, he for one would
then be ready to try and go in, in the
face OF the presidents proclamation
A long set of resolutions containing
the spirit of Capt. COUGHS speech was
adopted.

A MATERIAL ERROR.

The New York Herald makes this
statement
Pleuro-pneumonia is spreading to an alarm
ing extent among cattle in Missouri.
The assertion is rue and untrue.
Pleuro pneumonia has been spreading
to All alarming extent among the cat
tie of Galloway county, Missouri, but
up to this time there is NJ information
that it has appeared in any other coun
ty in the state. And, as Galloway
county is strictly quarantined, and as
within its borders intelligent and vigo-
rous measures are being taken to stamp
out the disease the statement of the
Herald should be qualified, especially
when made by so widely read and in
~tiuential a journal. Pleuro-pneumonia
is a highly contagious and seriously
fatal disease, and the state of Missouri
at large should not be credited with
having it among its cattle, when as a
matter of fact only the cattle of one
county are effected by it, and the.
are cut off from export effectually ant
fully.

II LAW ON DISTINCTION OF CATTLE.
WASHINGTON, april 21.-The COM
missioner of agriculture is delighted to-
night over the result of his efforts TO
secure from the encouragement and
the first comptroller OF the treasury
opinions regarding the extent OF his
authority to cXtirpatc plcuro-pneulmon-
ia. lie not only wrote formal letters
to the encouragement and the COM
ptroller, but he called upon them IN
person Yesterday. He told them that
he thought a fair Interpretation of the
law relating to the means OF dlslnfec-
ton would give him discretionary au-
thority to slaughter infected animals,
and he urged upon them the llnpor-
lance of having his authority clearly
defined, for if he had rightful
ty to slaughter infected animals, he
was convinced that an occasion for the
exercise of that authority existed Ill
Missouri.
HI Law INTERPRETED.
Comptroller Dun ham this afternoon,
prepared an opiuion on the subject.
After quoting the act, he says: 1.-The
powers given to the commissioner by
said act seem to be broad and unlimit-
ed as 10 the means to be used by him
to carry out said disinfection and quar-
%antine; and it is my opinion that he
car such Investigation to be made
in regard to the matter mentioned in
said act as he may deem proper and
best, through such means as he deems
best, to carry out the objects II pur-
poses of the same. If he regards the
slaughter Of the infected animals neces-
| sary to carry out such objects and pur-
poses he may do so, but he cannot ex-
pend any more than the amount APP
propriateu under any state of the case.
He must keep himself within the limits
OF said appropriation III carrying out
said act
Attoruey-General Garland has con-
| Cured in the opinion of the cOmptrOl-
Ter.
GOOD NEWS.
Immediately upon receiving the Opin-
ion Commissioner Colman sent the fol-
lowing telegram to Governor Marina
duke:
1t has been determined that l have
full discretion in regard to the eXtirpa-
ton of pleuro-pneumonia. L am pre-.
pairing rules and regulations under the
act of congress approved May 80, 1884,
to be submitted to the governors of the
respective states in order to secure
their cooperation, and they will be
sem you as soon as they can be pre-.
pared. These rules will be full and
effectual.
[Signed] NORMAN j. COLMAN,
Commissioner of Agriculture.
II re
The rules and regulations which will
be prepared mo be enforced in Mis-
souri, without the concert and co-opera'
ton of the governor. These rules and
regulations will authorize the inspec'
tors of the bureau of animal industry
to determine upon the slaughter of in
fected animals, and will provide meth
DDS of a%ppraising the value of the same
Commissioner Colman is quite conf
dent that under the decision of the
comptroller and the cooperation o
the state authorities he will be able te
extirpate pleuro-pneumonia in Mis-
souri,. He has an available fund O
$50 900 which may be used in raymen

Mr.. Bnrehard, the director oi tie
mint, in his special annual report on
the production of gold and silver in
the United States for the calendar year
1854, which has been ordered printed,
estimates the production of the coun-
try to have been-Gold, $40 800 900;
silver, computed at the silver dollar
coinage rate, $4S, $50 900; total, 49,
COO, 900. This shows an increase over
the yield of the previous year of about
$500 900 gold, and s., 400, 900 silver.
The total deposits of gold at the mints
during the year amounted to S50,5lS,-
l79, OF which S30, SOY 200 was re ported
as domestic. The exports OF gold
bullion, exclusive of United States bars,
amounted to only Sis 900. The total
deposit of silver bullion, exclusive of
redeposits, at the minis and assay Of
fees, was s36, 67O,7Sl, of which S32,-
800 ,03G was entered - iDn4h. ic. The
exports Of domestic silver were Sl7,-
697 ,067, of which S2,l4S,57S were
United States bars and S;HD.GIU i;a-
waiian coin manufactured of domestic
silver OF 1891 production, which would
leave the export of domestic unde-
posted silver, as entered at the custom
house at its commercial value, Sl4,-
s4s,479. The exports of silver were
So, 256, 93S, of which 50 ,296, 2ls came
to the mints, leaving nearly 81 200, 900
exported as domestic. Deducting thi:
leaves ST., 1897 900 as the commercial
value of the net export of undepositcG
, domestic silver, which at its coming
rate equals SIG ,400, 900. 1t is est
mated that about 100000 worth o
domestic silver bullion was furnished
by private r%efiucrs TO jewellers anC
others. Adding to the amount of do.
y mestic silver deposited at the minis til,
net exports of u~ndeposited aud thu
: amount of undepositcd used in til,

= of the country about S4S, 800 900, or a
