knowledge of the crime upon the tally-sheets,
why don't he go upon the witness-stand and

Perkins kept clear of the authorities for
twentyfo four hours, and when he did come to

fusal with long and strong array of counsel

aral public and the press are mainly concerned
with the property interests involved, and with
the evidence of dishonesty by the late man
agement; but lawyers are far more profoundly
interested in the other question, viz. whether
the judge of one circuit can, for any cause,
remove receiver appointed by the judge of
another circuit. The late receiver Of the Wa
bash road was appointed by Judge Brewer, of
the Eighth circuit and removed by Judge
Gresham, of the Seventh circuit. The former
has not yet received formal notice of the re-
moval of his receiver. When he does, will he
acquiesce, or mott That is the question, and
it is a very grave one. 1t has never been
sharply presented before, though it has come
very near it. In the case of the Narrow
gauge road Judge Baxter, Of Ohio, appointed
a receiver after Judge Drummond, of Illinois,
had done So aud for time it was thought the
same question would be raised in that case;
but in order to avoid collision, Judge
Drummond revoked his appointment and the
matter was bridged over. The settlement of
the question in the Wabash case will be await
ed with great interest by lawyers.

SINCE the decision of the Supreme Court in
Ohio holding the Dow law constitutional the
saloon-keepers in Cincinnati have decided to
accept the inevitable and pay the tax and &C
crued penalty. On Saturday there was a
great rush to the county treasurer's Office. and
between l o'clock and 10 o'clock P. NJ he re-
ceived $58,030. The total revenue derived
from the enforcement of the law by Hamilton
county will amount to $53O,60O. 1t is
thought the enforcement of the law will force
one-half of the saloon keepers out of the bust
ness. 1t looks as if the Liquor League and
saloon-keepers in this State want that kind of

ment. 1t is incurable and more fatal among
cattle than cholera or smallpox among human
beings. Absolutely nothing can be done to
arrest and eradicate it but to kill all diseased
or exposed animals, burn the carcasses the
sheds they have occupied and the straw they
have slept on. In other countries this is what
the authorities do, and the only thing they at
tempt to do with pleuro pneumonia. Such
heroic measures require stringent Legislation.
The action must be prompt, and as the tramp
ling out of the disease may involve the de-
struction of large amount of property there
must be legislative authority for such action.
As the disease is liable to be carried from one
State to another it cannot be adequately con-
trolled by State laws. hence the necessity
for congressional legislation. The seeds of
pleuro-pneumonia are slready in this coun-
try. It's general prevalence would cause
a loss of millions on millions of dollars to the
of the disease at Chicago showed how utterly
unprepared the authorities were to deal with
it. Their hands were tied by the absence of
legislation and consequent lack of power to
act. Illinois has a contagious disease act, but
the appropriation for carrying it into effect is
small, and the chief of the Bureau of Animal
Industry, who was present from Washington,
had no authority to act. He could only adj
wise. What is needed is stringent act of
Congress, and this should be supplemented by
a contagious-disease act in every State. Con-
gress should not allow month to pass with
out enacting law on the subject The in
terests involved are too great, and the danger
too imminent to admit Of delay.

SAVAGE remark of Charleston Courier the
day before the vote on the Morrison bill:
''The Democratic party is not ready to sacri-
fee itself for Mr.. Randalls benefit, in any
way, and the time has fully come for it to

necessary" If this information had only
reached Congress a little earlier, history might
have been changed; but as it turned out, it

out that not only did Journal reporters hear
Mr.. Lorenz Schmidts protest against the
fraud and forgery of the gang, but the people

not few others, belong to the honest wing of

by the d;sreputable and criminal gang.

Schmidt to keep quiet, because there were
Journal reporters around who might hear the
indignant protests against the fraud and forg-
cry the gang were committing. Yet Mr..
Christian was quite conspicuous as a member
Of the committee of one hundred and mem
Der of the committee on resolutions, and said
that he did not know of any fraud that had
been committed. Mr.. Schmidt's testimony
shows what opportunities Mr.. Christian had to
know what was going on and also his great
anxiety to keep the Journal reporters from
hearing anything.

TO MEET A THREATENING DANGER,

A point we'll taken is the remark Of lead
ing representative of the agricultural interests
that the time Of the committee on agriculture
would be far better spent in securing the
enactment of peuro-pneumonia law than in
trying to have the Commissioner Of Agricult-
ure made Cabinet officer. The latter is of
no practical importance, while the former is of
vital consequence to the cattle interests of
the country, involving hundreds of millions
of dollars. The pleuro- pneumonia is disease
of which we have had comparatively little ex-
perience in this country, almost none at all.
The nature and character of the disease are
known to intelligent veterinary surgeons, but
neither the people at large, nor most farmers
and breeders have any conception of the great
danger involved, or Of the immense damage
the disease would cause to the cattle in
terests if it once gets firm foothold
here. In Europe they fully understand
it, and the proper authorities there are always
ready to meet an outbreak of the disease with
stringent measures. And only such are adj
