premature.


THERE IS no doubt that the Reagan inter-
state commerce BILL or some other bill that
will prevent railroad discrimination, should
be passed, and that Immediately for it is
not only unjust but unwise to retard the
growth of snail cities in order that the
larger ones may swell to enormous proper
tions. Large cities are the hot beds of pow
erty, vice aud crime, and the welfare of a
country with many small prosperous cities
is more assured than that Of one whose
commercial marts are restricted to few
that are immense. Bat though tue bill re-
ferred to has passed the House of Represen
tatives, it is hardly possible it can go
through the Senate. The Senate is body
with comparatively few members only
many, if not most, of those members are
either directly or indirectly interested in
railroads, and last, but not least, the inhu-
ence ofthe lobbyists being more concentrated
there than is possible upon the crowded
House, it is of course more effective.
For these reasons it ia feared that those
who stand in need Of railroad reform will
have to waite for it until the Senate, as
we'll as the House aud President, shall be
democratic

The Edmunds bill to place General Grant

after very short debate-yeas 40, nays 8.
Mr.. Edmunds spoke in favor of the bill,
and Dir. Cockrell against it, the latter say
ing Gen. Grant was now enjoying the re-
cept of $4,000 year, which was enough
for the support of any American citizen.
Among tho democrats Messrs. Maxey,
Voorhees,, George, Gibson and Jonas spoke
also in its favor.
The Senators who voted nay were Messrs.
Beck, Cockiell, Coke, Harris, Pendleton,
Salisbury, Slater. Vance and Walker.

not having been received by the president
pro TEN. of the Senate, it became incumbent
| on him TO send special messenger to each
of those States as required by law. The
Secretary requests that an appropriation be
made to pay the expenses and compensa-
tions Of these messengers. The speaker
laid before the House message from the
President OH the same subject.
Mr. Weller, of Iowa, introduced bill,
which was referred, to refund the bonded

TIE RECENT debate In the United States
Senate on the Sherman-Davis affair." anu
the remarks it has evoked in the press CT
the country, show plainly enough that 'ne
old time hate entertained by the abolition.
ists for the people of the South IS sti''
nursed by their successors and neirs, 'ne
ranublicans. Knowing that the spirit OF
the country is averse to them, they oon''
abuse and vilfy all the white people OF inc
South, as they used to do; but also Know
ing that the Southern people are not dogs
enough 10 denouuce the man they selected
for their chief, who was true to them' anu
who has suffered more than any otner OF
them /; but that, on the contrary, tney

honor and respect him, the repuo l.
cans make him the object at and over
whom they can vent all their cherisneo
hat. and malice upon tho people VINO
live in the S outhern portion of the country.
Mr.. Davis did not cause the Southern States
to secede, and was no more responsible ior
their secession than any one of thousands
of Others; nor did he elect himself, or cause
himself to be elected President of the Con-
federacy. He was a representative Southern
man during the war, and is no more iegltl-
mately amenable to national censure than
any other Southern man VINO took part 10
the war and the Southern man who would
not defend him when abused i5 one whom
most people would not care to know
General Sherman went out OF his way to
assail Mr.. Davis, aud not only that, but to
assail him with falsehood, and when that
falsehood was made patent to all descern-
ing minds, he sends al ex parte statement
to the War office, repeating his charges OF
treason and conspiracy against the retired
old gentleman whom he hal so gratuitousiy
slandered. 1t is this statement, which,
without rhyme or reason, the republicans
of the Senate, after making it the occasion
for abusing the whole Southern people over
Mr.. Davis's shoulders, have made an "e1-
ecutive document, and that, too, though
in short time it would have been pub

What do we Strain out of Mllk7

had the opportunity recently Of ex-
aiming. under the microscope, certain
minute browni,h particles which were
removed from milk by cloth strainers,
after it had been strained in the usual
way through wire gauze These brown
particles were determined by our village
doctor. a man of no mean attachments
in his profession. to be of parement
epnheliun. which must come from the
interior of the udder The straining
cloth was double. and good many of
these particles were arrested by the
second fold. In addition to these cpl
thelial scales. there were multitudes of
very minute hairs. so small that they
were hardly visible as a downy dust to
the naked eye. Now. it is certain that
the presence of epithelium 10 milk is a
great Indictment TO change. and it NAV
be TO changes unfaYorable to high flavor
in the butter. One to whom | spoke
about this sees in these impurities i'm
portant aids TO digestion, and thinks
he wonld be actually flying in the face
of benefeent Providence to strain
them out. This is only another argu-
ment in favor of the view that factory
butter cannot really compete with that
which is produced in the very best pri-
vate diaries. Straining the milk as it
is drawn without question separates
many of these particles, as well as
the fine hairs. at the outset, from the
milk, so that their influence for good or
ill is OF but short duration.

preserver was master OF the art was
proved by tasting the fruit, which was
found nice and toothsome. This was
the first known of canning An Ameri-
