of time there were 2.28l births. Scarlet
fever and diphtheria are the only contagious
diseases that have visited the city. and these
have been principally confined to the Fifth
ward. This is accounted for by the fact
that that neighborhood is without sewer
age or water system. and the people are
obliged to depend on wells. springs and
cisterns for their water supply. Various
improvements will be urged as sanitary
measures next year. The Fifth and Sixth
wards will be given sewer system and
city water, line of sewer mile and a
quarter long will probably be constructed
from the Minnesota Transfer to the river.

The Agricultural Convention.

We congratulate Commissioner Colman
upon the success of the convention Of ag-
ricultural colleges and experiment stations,
which completed its labors in this city last
week.
Since the establishment Of the several
state agricultural colleges there has been a
desire to unite in common purpose for n
common end. Commissioners Watts and
Loring held conventions Of a similar char
acter to this one during their respective
administrations, but, beyond the usual par
liamentary formalities Of the election of
officers, appointment Of committees, and
well-rounded resolves, little was accom-
plisEcd, and the country was depyived of
some of the important benefits which were
intended by Congress in its land granting
act
It was bold step Of Gov. Colman TO at
tempt midsummer convention, but an
attendance of representatives from twenty
four states and four territories sufficiently
attcsts the wisdom and timcliness of the
call.
The commissioners address was oppor-
tune and appropriate, and his enthusiasm
convention an impetus and inspiration
which never forsook it. There was almost
an entire absence Of essays and oratorical
effort, An energetic business committee
kept the track clear for business-lilSe opera
tions and the formation of practical sug-
gestions and plans, and an amount Of work
was done through suggestions and resolu-
tions which is highly creditable to the in
telligent body of men that made 1t possible.
The convention differed from its pre-
decessors in another important particular,
in that the several colleges and stations
have fully and unequivocally pledged them
selves to cooperate in the future with the
national department, and to that end re-
solved themselves into permanent organi-
Zation for future conferences.
1t may fairly be said that the department
of agriculture and the various state depart
ments and colleges are now in full harmony
and mutual understanding, and If Commits
sioner Colman succeeds in carrying into
effect, with the help of Congress, the plans
mutually agreed upon for unity of purpose
and action, he will confer lasting benefit
upon the agriculture of this country. 1t is
laborious undertaking, but fraught with
great possibilities.
President Cleveland has stated that he
feels a deep interest in the work planned
by the delegates, and that he was highly
gratifled at the largcness Of the convention
as well us the exceptional intelligence of its
members. He expressed the hope that the
lGbors Of the convention would be product
i've Of lasting good to the whole country.

President Dickson Defends the wash.
ington Rowing Club from Injurious
Aspersions.
EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN Permit
me, through your columns, to correct an
article which appeared in the Capital Of to-
day, grossly misrepresenting the Washing
ton Rowing and Athletic Club. The four
cared race at Fredericksburg, July 4, was
rowed on its merits and won by foul, as
everyone knows who will fairly Judge it.
The article mentioned states that this
club has been organized by Mr.. John A.
Kennedy, professional trainer. This is o
willful and gross Misrepresentation Of a
statement made by me.
Mr.. Kennedy is not now, nor has he ever
been, q member of this club. His connec-
tion with the organization is in the capacity
of an experienced trainer, and he is under
our employ as he has been by the Potomac
and other clubs.
This association was organized April 23,
1885 (since which date have been and am
now its president), for the purpose of pro-
noting amateur rowing and other athletic
sports, and to advance these interests at the
national capital, and is composed Of some of
our most active and enterprislng spirits,
many Of whom have been identified with
similar organizations In our midst.
The author Of the article referred to ex-
hibits feeling Of jealousy aroused by the
fact that the Washington crew, IN their first
public test together as oarsmen, trlumphed
Mt Fredericksburg. The referee, Mr.. Du-
rant, of the Potomac Boat Club, Is q gentle
man whose reputation for integrity, honor,
and fairness is unquestioned, and we are
content to abide by his verdict, which
awarded both races to us.
We are not organized forthepurpose of de-
feating any particular club or crew, only to
take our place in friendly competition with
the crews here or elsewhere. We seek the
friendship and social relations Of all clubs,
but do not fear the competition of any.

Sir Nathaniel Rothschild, raised to the
peerage as Baron Rothschild, has been re-
ceived into that house Of parliament which
long refused political rights to the men Of
his sreligion. His father, Baron Lionel, did
not live to see his triumph. Session after
session, year by year, Baron Lionel, elected
to the house of commons, sat as stranger
under the gallery and refused TO take the
oath "on the true faith of Christian" As
often as the lower house tried to relieve
him the upper house persistently rejected
him. And in that upper house, in the
presence of many of those peers who fought
most bitterly against him. his eldest son

THE REruBHcAS recently gave m ac-
count Of shameful outrage OIL number
Of worldngmen, who, on going to Atlanta,
Ca, in search of employment, and, being
destitute Of money and asking for lodgings
at station house, were thrown into chain
gang for six months. The Atlanta corre-
spondent of the Philadelphia Press gives
the details of this infamous business, which
are peculiarly interesting at n time when
the national administration is showing n
decided leaning toward convict labor. 1t
appears that four men working in the chain
gang attracted the attention of benevolent
citizens on account of the painfulness of
their situation. On a bitterly cold
night early in November last these
men arrived in Atlanta in search Of
work. They went to a police station for
protection until morning, and, instead Of
being permitted to seek work when daylight
came, they were thrown into the chain gang,
put in convict garb, and forced to work for
six months among the vilest scum of At
lanta criminal life. They are described as
manly types Of American laborers. Atlanta
is too good city, has too much of intelli-
gent enterprise and progressive civilization
TO bear this reproach with composure. The
root Of the trouble is the decentralization of
public sentiment produced by the worst
state penal system known among any civil
lied people.

BulldOzer j. i. Meade, of Copiah county,
Miss, appointed postmaster at lIazlehurst,
in the same state, by President Cleveland,
and then politely requested to resign, has a
long communication IN the New Orleans
Times-Domocrdt explaining his case. lie
expresses natural surprise that the north
ern Republican press should have so much in
fluoncc with a Democratic administration,
and that there should be so much wrath
at his appointment. For his course In
the campaign of 1888, during which
Print Matthews was shot at
the polls, and the meeting called to
indorse the murder was presided over by
Meade, Meade says he feels patriotic
pride. In his own language "I have no
apology to offer Mr.. Cleveland and his
Mugwump friends for anything | did in
that campaign, for under similar circum-
stances would do the same thing again" "
The north does not admire Mr.. Meade or
his political methods, but it has greater
respect for hiS candor than 1t has for the
consistency Of those who enjoy the fruits

IN view of number Of accidents that

stars and stripes failed to float over sundry

"when inquiring as to the fitness of appll-

should ask whether they know on what day
of the year the Fourth of July comes

THAT wonderful story of the robbery OF
Mrs, Smith, of Chicago, has been blown
into thin air by a single blast of truth.
Mrs. Smith has confessed that she gave the
money to "her lover" agambler named Bass,
who lost it betting on the races. Mrs. Smith
has good husband and the money was
saved from his earnings to go toward buy
ing house. Bass was arrested 'on gen
eral principles" and his arrest brought
about the confession. Thus vanishes an
other Chicago sensation.
