Charges Against q SANITARY onioer.

Doctors Brennan and Wands, of the Board of
Health preferred charges against Sanitary
Officer Newcomb, and yesterday sat in Judgment
on them. They alleged that he had not reported
daily, according to the rules of the board, the
notices to clean vaults and premises he had
served. He carried the stubs to be returned to
the office in his pocket for several days, by
which they implied he worked in the interest of
certain vault-cleaners. No formal trial was had
but they received the statement of Mr.. New
comb which denied emphatically the charge of
any wrong intent. The board decided to
hold the charges in allegiance and dismiss the
officer if he again violated the rules in this re-

Leeislating ON the Labor Problem.


In the State Of New York bill has been pre-
pared providing that in case of disputes or
grievances between a railroad corporation and
its employees, which shall not be submitted by
the parties thereto to arbitration, the Railroad
Commissioner shall in effect constitute board
of arbitration. either at the request of either
party or on his own motion. If it shall be 80
agreed by the parties before decision is rendered,
the findings and recommendations of the board
shall be final and conclusive, and in any case
they shall be deemed prima facie, reasonable
and just. At the request of either party, or of
his own motion. if he deem best, the Attorney
general may carry the matter before court
where the findings of fact of the commission
shall be prima facie evidence in the proceedings
and the decision Of the Commissioner may be made

problem, but no one is likely to assert that a

attempt to compel the company to pay wages

Revolution In Express Business Probable
The Supreme Court has finally settled that
railroad companies can conduct their own ex-
press business without the aid of any Of the ex-
press companies, and general revolution in
express business is likely to follow the recent
decision. The Philadelphia & Reading railroad
was the first railroad company to conduct its
own express business. In 1871 it terminated its
contract with the Adams Express Company, and
expelled it from its line of road. The Adams
applied to Judge McKennan, at Philadelphia
for an injunction, and it refused on the
very grounds taken in the opinion of Chief

Evansville,s Bonded Debt.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
The Evansville press is so thoroughly imbued
with the idea of repudiating our bonded debt
that anyone entertaining different views on that
subject cannot get fair hearipgin their columns.
wish to say few things touching that sub.
ject in your paper, hoping thereby to reach our
people, as it has quite large circulation here.
Evansville has been for three years controlled
by Democratic administration. The Mayor
and Council have been and still are the tools of
gigantic ring, whose object has been to repudiate
our honest bonded debt for the purpose Of
plundering our city treasury This repudating
idea was conceived, born and fostered by this
monster ring, aud has assumed such NAM
moth proportions that it has brought blight
upon our city and if this rule or rather mis-
rule, is continued for three years longer our
city will be doomed and corner lots will be sold
by the acre where the are now sold by the front
foot.
Such is the power of these conspirators,
through the press and otherwise, that the outside
world is led to suppose that unanimous
IN supporting their schemes of Reputation. In
this they mistaken AS we believe, the ma
jority of the voters of Evansville are honest, and
under proper organization and leadership are
favorable to the honest payment of our debts.
We propose to put in nomination, and hope to
elect, at our approaching municipal election,
didates for Mayor and City Council pledged to
an economical administration of our city govern
ment and an honest adjustment of our bonded
debt If we can succeed in this, and see no rea-
son why we should not, we can very soon regain
our former prosperity and good standing with
the other cities of our State A. BE-.

HOrnlesS Cattle.

J. J. Mechi the famous scientific far
mer of Great Britain has the following to
say on the subject: Il hate cruelty, but it
is humanity to remove the horns of cattle,
and at the cost of temporary suffering to
secure them peaceful enjoyment for the
rest of their lives. Those who have seen
the constant fear and disturbance to which
horned cattle are exposed in limited
space, such as covered or opon farm
yard, and the injuries inflicted by horns,
must come to the conclusion that without
horns the animal can feed and rest in
peace with horns much of the farmers
profits disappear.

Feeding TIrnips.
Farm and Field,

Feeding turnlps to milking COWS is OBJ
iected to on account of the i'll flavor com
municated to the milk, aud which spoils it
for any good use. But it is not necessary
that this i'll flavor should be given to the
milk. It is caused by the very volatile
odor of the roots, which is absorbed by
the stomach, and then by the blood, and
lastly by the milk. A large part of it is
carried off by the perspiration through
the skin and a large part through the
kidneys. The reason of the rapididity of
this effect of feeding turnips is the large
proportion of water which they contain.
and that water is very quickly absorbed
by the blood and dispersed through the
system, and as quickly got rid of through
the skin and the kidneys. It is precisely
the same with onions, garlic and other
strong favored weeds. and also with i'm
pure water. But this very rapid trans
piration of the water gives clew to a
ready means of avoiding the objection
able effect referred to. If turnips are fed
Immediately after milking night and
morning, the odor passes off and does not
affect the next morning. 1t is not safe to
feed them before milking, unless it is
done Immediately before it, as water is
absorbed from the somach into the blood
with great rapidity, and the odor would
begin to reach the milk in few minutes.
The odor of garlic may be prevented, it
is said, in somewhat the same names,
but we have not personally tried the effect
for want of the garlic. But it is so re-
ported by a dairyman who says he was
troubled with the smell of garlic or wild

Rotation Of Crops.
Farm Field and FireSidc.

To properly rotate the farm grass is
one of the prime essentials, though an
| Old-time practice dispensed with grass
and substitute the fallow, which it was
claimed, gave the land rest and enriched
it. In a recent essay it was stated that
such method is going out of practice,
from the fact that it gives so great
chance for loss by drainage. Now a gen
eral farm does not offer the same chance
for losses, for it is very easy to adopt it
so that crop may be kept growing all
the time: for if crop comes off early in
the season, but not early enough to allow
another crop to ripen, 1t is very easy to
SOW rye, and either feed it off in the fall
or pillow under for green manure. 1t has
been found from repeated experiment
that one crop will not grow on piece of
land for long series of years and give
good results. This is probably due to the
fact that a large proportion of the par
tlcular elements needed by that plant are
exhausted, while if these are rotated with
those of another nature the former will
again soon grow as well as ever For a
rotation of crops the following may be a
good one in many locations: First year,
corn; second, roots; third, oats fourth,
wheat; fifth, clover, and sixth. clover.
This is for a six-year rotation, and can, of
course be modified tc admit to the cir
cumstances and location, as, for instance,
in Canada, peas may take the place of
corn, for there large crop of peas may
be grown, and make very valuable one,
too, while further south this would not be
possible on account of the pea weevil.
The Norfolk rotation which is theoreti-
cally perfect rotation, is as follows:
First wheat; second, turnips: third oats
or barley; fourth, clover. This is, how
ever, hardly admissible in most locations
for so large proportion of turnips would
not be fed to advantage, and might well
be modified by placing the barley before
the roots and inserting a wheat crop be-
tween the roots and clover

Mr.. Edmunds' Advice to Students.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.

Years ago young man IN my class In
college conceived the idea of securing a
place in the departments here to enable
him to study law meanwhile, and wrote to
Mr.. Edmunds about it. He received the
following reply:
WASHINGTON, January, 1871.-DEAR SIR:
I have yours of the 18th. [ should be
pleased to aid you if possible, but the
chances of your getting place here now
are not more than one in twenty-five with
all the aid I could give you. There are
literally hundreds of applicants for each
vacancy as it occurs, and, truth to say,
Vermont has her full share of people in
place here. STILL it is possible that some
rare good fortune may come to you in get
ting place if you wish to apply. If you
wish to do so you can send me an appli-
cation and I will cheerfully do what can
for you. At the same time I strongly adj
wise you not to come here even If you can
get a place. The sort of law education
you get here, while in a department. is of
the poorest, and I think you would be
much the gamer at the end of three or
four years studying law in an Office in
Vermont, and almost starve, meantime, if
need be, rather than to begin your pro-
fession in the way you propose. The av-
erage of lawyers turned out of the Law
schools" is running down the bar, think,
pretty fast. There is now. indeed wide
room for courage talent, and learning at
the bar; and that room will be chiefly
filled. as it has been, by men who in pow
erty and want, but with brave, pure hearts
and high purpose, come in through the
patient drudgery and ardent labors of a
working law office.
Having thus volunteered advice, I re-
main yours very truly,
GEORGE f. EDMUNDs.
