POSTMASTER-GENERAL Villas Is
said to be much annoyed at the publ
cation of his confidential letter to
Democratic congressman, and is en-
deavoring to find out who is respon-
sible for its getting into the papers
Mr.. Villas should remember that the
only way to prevent the publication
Of a letter is not to write it. 1t ap-
pears that in proposing to commit his
department to the fostering care of
the Congressman; he also proposed to
confer in private and confidential
manner, but some Congressman found
himself SO happy at his discovered
influence that he could not refuse to
let the country know all about it. Mr.
Villas letter, it would seem, removes
part of the administration at least
outside the pale of independence in
the executive branch of the Govern.

CARDINAL GUIDBERT, as Victor
Hugo was dying yesterday morning,
offered to help the venerable poet into
the other world; but the renowned
authors son-in-law declined, with
thanks, just like Frenchman, say
ing: Victor Hugo is expecting
death, but does not wish the services
of a priest" The greatness of mind
that distinguished the illustrious liter
ateur in life shone out even in the
last scene, when the vital flame was
in its final chickering's. Men of Victor
Hugo's stamp are great in death as
well as life.

THE New York Times is satisfied

THE New York Times is satisfied
that trade prospects are Frightening.
May 10, it says "The sale of $1,000
600 worth of cotton goods at auction
yesterday at prices but a shade below
those asked at private sale and to
purchasers from all parts of the Union
is a surer sign of healthy demand in
the dry goods trade than anything
that has hitherto been noted. When
trade is active an auction sale on a
large scale often only stimulates
prices when trade is very depressed
it may easily exaggerate the opposite
tendency; but when, as at present,
trade is hesitant and merchants are
eager to strike in as soon as it's safe,
such sale at full market prices is a
most encouraging Indication"

The statement, going the rounds of
the press, that Prof. Eyerhart, of the

quarters inimical to the institution
the falsehood still continues to be re-
peated. Professor EyerharJ did make
analyses for the officers, and he did it

A PITTsBURG writer makes the as
sertion that in fifty years, or perhaps
In half that time, coal will not be car
ried from the mines to its place of
destination in bulk, but only its actual
heat energy will be transported, and
that by wire, a process which, he
says, can bs accomplished by convert
ing the coal into heat, the heat into
motion and the motion Tito electric
ity. A strong battery at Cincinnati
would take it up as fast as generated
at the mines, and from this battery it
could be taken and converted back
into motion and heat, or changed into
light.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., BAHv

Heretofore the STATESMAN has
made reference to the offer, made by
a Missouri cattle breeder through the
columns of the Chicago Drovers
Journal, to pay $1,000 for proof Of one
single case of contagious pleuro-pneu-
monia in Missouri. 1t will also be
remembered that the government
veterinarians had worked up wide
spread rottenness among the cattle Of
that State, and that by their
| advice many most valuable
cattle have been killed. It was in
consequence of the pleuro-pneumonia
Juror, gotten up by these veteTinari-
ans, that this offer was made, and it
has yet to be recorded that the money
has been taken on the proof de-
manded. From the St. Louis Repub-
lican we gather, that Mr.. John O..
Wood, of Rails County, Mo-, states in
his county paper that he "does not be-
lieve there has ever been single case
Of contagious pleuro-pneumonia in
Galloway County" The disease that
caused so much alarm there, he thinks
is tub 3rcosis or lung affection, which
is common among INBRED" cattle, a
class which includes the Jerseys.
These, he says, have been bred in and
in for generations "till they have no
constitution at all, and when we have
such severe winters as the last the
weak-lunged cattle die from expos
ure." To show that he means what
he says, Mr.. Wood offers to take FIVE
head of fairly bred, healthy cattle from
his herd and send them to Callaway
County to be kept with animals
supposed to be infected. "They may
dig up the carcass of any animal, sup
posed to have been afflicted with
pleuro-pueumonia, and let my cattle
run to the carcass for one week, and
keep them on the premises for three
or six months" They must not, on
any account, be killed, and must be
managed as Mr.. Wood directs. If
they die, it shall be his loss; if they
/ survive, they are to be returned to the
owner at the end OF the experiment,
"the expenses to be paid by those who
believe that the recent disease among
the asylum herd was really
pleuro-pneumonia." The Republican
calls this bold proposition, and it
shows that Mr.. Wood has no faith in
the existence of the disease in Gala
wayCounty, where the veterinarians
pronounce it raging, Wehave watched
this pleuro pneumonia business, for
business it appears to be, and are sat
isfied Mr.. Wood is correct in what he
he assumes. AS Mr.. Commissioner
Colman's paper, the Rural World, said
some time ago, "Tleuro-PheumDnia,

Sparks hustled out Of his office the

Washington correspondent says: "He
Is the fellow who a few years ago
threatened to shoot John Sherman
when the latter was Secretary
Of the Treasury. He also at
tempted a personal squabble with
Hayes at the White House during an
evening reception. He became such
nuisance at the interior department
during Arthu1's administration that
Secretary Teller appointed him
Timber Agent in order to get him
out of town." The present admins
tration seems able to handle him in
another way.

THE revisers of the Old Testament

This of itself is enough to commend

The Bible IS made very different

THE English lions dread of the

REGARDING Brahmin cattle in
Florida, the Fort Myers, Florida,
Press says there is one species of cat
tie which can be safely brought to this
climate, a species that viii lnterbreed
freely with the native cattle and pro-
duce by the cross stock of fine quality.
These are the Brahmin cattle of Asia,
a species IF the OK tribe known as the
zebu. "They are good breed of cattle,
caaRcterIz ID by a fatty hump on the
shoulders. They have good domestic
qualities and are especially at home
ii warm climates. Some of these cat
tie in former years have been brought
to this country, and strain of the
blood is still recognizable in this re-
gion Of South Florida" The same
cattle have been extensively tried in
Southern Texas, and the type is
strongly impressed in Matagorda and
adj oining counties. The cattle are
admirably suited to our climate, and
are valuable in consequence.
