As the Philadelphia North American
says, cit may be an interesting matter
for scientists to discuss whether the flesh
Of diseased animals is or is not Injurious
IS human food but, in the absence Of
any definite agreement on the point, il
would seem to be In accordance with the
dictates Of prudence that She sale Of such
doubtful meat should bs prohibited" So
Tar As we have heard and read the mass
Of Sutht rity is TO the effect that the flesh
Of cattle infected with contagious pleuro-
pneumonia may be eaten or their milk
freely used without fear Of any injury to
the health Of the consumers but
even were the verdict to their
wholesomeness unanimous, we are
suTe that at leAst nine.tenths Of our
people would rather 60 without meat,
milk and butter than 10 use any not
coming from unaffected cattle. Still, a.
all except the striotest vegetarians sre
confronted with the liability OF at some
time using such products Of diseased
cattle, II Is comforting to be assured
thEt they are not likely to do us much, II
any harm. Bat the ordinance against
the sale of unwholesome meat should be
invoked In any case where the flesh Of an
animal known to have been diseased may
bs offered for sale.

A bill has been introduced IN the New
York legislature requiring, under penal
ties Of from $50 to $1,000, all packages
Of canned or preserved goods offered for
sale for home consumption to "plainly
bear the name, address and place Of bust.
ness Of the person, firm or corporation
that canned or packed the articles, }" TO-
gsther with . mark or term indicating
clearly the grade or quality of the same
and, In case OF goods put up from pre-.
viously dried or cured products, that the
labels shall be 'branded" with the word
''soAked" in letters Of a specified size. The
American Grocer sees only one objection
to the bill-that 1t would disorimin ate In
favor Of the large dealers who have pack
ing houses Of their own, against the
much larger number Of smaller houses
that might wish to reap the benefit Of
their knowledge And care in the selection
Of goods by placing their own labels
thereon. To remedy this defect it sug-
goats the incorporation in the bill of q
clause providing that "the firm, person
or corporation labelling such goods shall
be considered the packer or packers"

The selection Of q favorable site for the
retormatory school, which will be an
enduring memorial Of the bounty Of the
late John Ferris, brings this future insti-
tuition very much nearer to us. It promises,
to quote the expressive vsrnaeular
Of advertisements, to ill = lonG-fslt want.
II is entirely reasonable to hope tina. Mr..
Ferris philanthropy will bear fruit in
the reclamation Of many youths
whose lives would otherwise be
worse than wrecked. The site chosen is a
pleasantly located farm, within two mIlsb
Of Union street and comparatively
isolated from railroad travel; near enough
to the city TO be readily reached yet sufi
ciently distant and secluded to be out Of
the ordinary range Of city boys in theil

President ClevelSnd's inaugural has
been received everywhere with the favor
which its evident sincerity, robust com.
mon sense and sound political philosophy
have merited. It is pleasing to note that
the leading Republican journals almost
unisedly show in their comments upon
the message . sincere respect for the
honesty Of purpose which speaks
all through 1t, and q conviction not
only tLat the new President sincerely
desires to compass as far as he can the
greatest good to the greatest number but
that he also possesses In = good degree
the wisdom, ability and frmness which
are SO essential to the carrying out Of his
programme. Even the New York Tribune
Is disposed to treat his utter
AnOes fairly, although arguing
that some Of his declarations are certain
to bring him into conflict with
the majority Of his own party. Only the
PhiladelphiG RsI is disposed to carp at
the inaugural IS rich in plAtitudes Of
doubtful sincerity but sterile in real
thought. Bat II is hard to please every
body. President Cleveland has succeeded
more nearly in doing this than any one
could have reasonably expected. ...-.

Concerning the disposition of the old
liberty bell at the New Orleans Rxposi-
ton, which has called forth some adverse
comment and allegations that now the
managers have the bell they exhibit very
little interest in It, the New Orleans
Times Democrat says:
There was considerable discussion between
the board Of management and Philadelphians
at the exposition as to where the grand old
relic Of the Revolution should be
placed before decision was made.
Some were in favor of placing it in the
Music Hall, about the spot formerly occupied
by the monster lump Of Mexican silver, but
finally it was determined to place it Cd the
grounds in front Of the Bankers Pavilion,
There it stands, on the car that brought it
from the Centennial City, guarded by Phila-
delphia officers, and visited by representa-.
tives Of every state and every country, as

The first appointment Of President
Cleveland aside from his cabinet was
made Friday, when General John C.
Black Of Illinois was made commissioner
Of pensions. The selection shows the
sincerity Of President Clevsland's con

and is an evidence of his determination
to place in responsible official positions
only those who believe with him in this
great principle, which is the only sure
basis Of honest government.
