The Senate should tack an appropriation
of at least $4,000 TO the sundry Civil bill

is such that 1t may never pass both Houses

Hence the Importance Of putting the Poto-

1t is impossible at this late day to secure

The first session Of the Forty-ninth Con-

the old, old story. Appropriation bills held

Senate, and finally acted upon by conferees.

A little Of Old Hickory's way would be
good thing in the Goode case. When the
United States Senate rejected Old Hickory's
nomination Of "Duke" Gronin TO a Federal
Office in Mississippi, he forthwith renomi-

act on the denomination and finally ad-
journed. They had scarcely left the Capitol
before Old Hickory appointed him again.

The cable-road robbers and their allies in
the House are responsible for wasting day
which was greatly needed for legislation OF
public interest to the people OF this District.
The vital faults Of this corrupt and scanda-
louJ scheme to tear up our streets for the
benefit Of gang Of charter grabbsrs had been
fully exposed, yet majority Of the District
Committee and Of the House seemed deter
mined to put 1t through. Apparently the
chances Of the lobby aud It's friends on the
floor have not been very great this session,
for they clupg with the energy Of despsrs-
tion To this plan 10 bag some plunder. In
doubtedly many good men were imposed
upon, but II ia incredible that all who sup
ported the charter should have done so with.
out hope Of sharing in the profits. That the
proposition TO parallel all the existing street
railroads Is all outrageous one hardly needs
assertion. Congress already has full power
TO regulate the service ON the existing lines,
and the Herdc's furnish competitive sys.
tenn which answers every purpose. Among
the various evils which the new gridron
Of rails would produce would probably be
the extinction Of the Herdic lines. Although
the job is killed for this session II will un.
doubtediy be revived at the next. Every
citizen who opposes this scheme should
therefore miss no opportunity to impress
his views upon Senators and Representa-
tiyes. The remarkable strength shown by
this syndicate Of Jake sharp's ought to be
warning enough To arouse the community to
extra vigilance on this subject.

We have all along advocated the postpone
ment Of the opening Of the public schools

should be no diminutiou Of the pay Of
teachers. II the schools are starved the
Commissioners will surely become unpopu-
lar. stinginess in providing for the eduos-

gauge that is now become Of uniform use In
this country, 30 as to be capable Of extension
further westward, where II could make profit
able connections. Aud neither this nor any
other steam railroad should be permitted to
occupy the public roadway. ANY railroad
company should be compelled to condemn
the right Of way, II It cannot make an ar

Cruelty to Animals.

Some people object entirely to rXpcri-
ments upon animals They do this
chiefly on two grounds. The first is
that such experiments are useless, and
the second that, even if they were USE
full, we have no right to inilict pain upon
animals The first objection is due TO
ignorance. Almost all our exact knOwl-
edge of the action of drugs on the var
ious organs of the body, rs well rs the
physiological functions Of these organ
isms themselves, has been obtained by
experiments on animals Their second
objection is one which. if pushed to lis
utmost limits and steadily carried ont.
would soon drive man of the face Of tie
earth. The struggle for existence is
constantly going on. not only between
man and man. but betwees man, the
lower animals, and plants. and man ;
very being depends upon his success.
We kill animals for food. We destroy
them when they are dangerous. like the
tiger or cobra, or destructive, ike the
rat or mouse. We oblige them 10 work
for us for no reward but their food. and
we urge them on by whip and spur
when they are unwilling or flag 10
one would think of blaming the messen-
ger who should apply whip and spnr 20
bring reprieve, and thus save tie life
of human being about 10 die Oh the
scaffold, even although his horse should
die under him at the end of tie jouru y.
Humane people will give an extra sh-l-
ling to a cabman in order that they
may catch the train which viii take
them to soothe the dying moments OF =
friend, without regarding the conse-
quenees to the cab-horse. Yet if one
tenth Of the suffering which the horse
has to endure in either Of the case just
mentioned were to be inflicted by o
Psychologist in order to obtain the knowl-
edge which would help to relieve the
suffering and lengthen the life, not OF
one human being only but OF thousands,
many persons would exclaim against
him. Such objections as these are due
either to want of knowledge or want Of
thought on the part of people who make

benefits which medicine derives from

times, perhaps, willfully.) ignore the
evidence regarding the utility OF expert

THE SCARAUDENBACH CASE The
following from the Chicago Tribune of
the 10th, telegraphcd from Milwaukee,
is the latest phase of this celebrated
case: "The announcement is made from
an authentic source that the quite noted
suit brought by the heirs of the late
Charles +. Schraudenbach against Mary
Caroline Fries, mother superior of St.
Mary's convent, Milwaukee, has been
settled by compromise, and will be
withdrawn from the courts. The suit
involved the title to property valued
at about 100000; but aside from this
it was possessed of several interesting
features. The Rev. Father Schrauden-
bach, previous to his death at Boscobel
in August, 1888, had by shrewd opera
tions. tax speculations, and economy
amassed the estate for which contest
was made. Previous to his death he
was attended by his niece, Mary
Schraudenbach. About ten days be-
fore the death of Father Shraudenbach
he and his niece joined in an assign
ment of some fifty mortgages and deeds
to eight or ten valuable farms, proper ty
in Grant and Crawford counties, in
Wis. and in Houston county, Mimi,
to the Rt. Rev. Mother Fries, mother
| a,,no,;or nf .ha M;iraul-aa cnpyopt and
superior-general of the Sisters of Notre
Dame, to be held in trust. The prop
erty in Wisconsin was to go to the con-
vent or Sisters school at Prairie du
Chen, and that in Minnesota to the
convent of Notre Dame at Hokah, six
miles west of La Crosse. The relatives
of the deceased attacked the convey
ance on the ground of undue influence
exerted by Mary, the niece. By the
terms of the settlement Mother Fries
and Mary B. A. Schraudenbach are tc
take the first $4,000 coming out of the
estate, and all the rest of the property
real and personal, is to be divided
among the plaintiffs. The affairs o
the estate are to be wound up under
the supervision of the court and th'
former receiver, Jos. Book. of Lancas
ter, to whom all the parties will join il
assigning the mortgages and reconvey
ing the lands. Mary B. A. Schrauden
bach has not yet consented to the set

The Milwaukee police force, by rea
son of the recent number of deaths from
hydrophobia, have been instructed to
shoot all dogs which exhibit the least
signs of the distemper, but they do not
obey their instructions. This is not
owing to willful disobedience on their
part, but the dogs will not '.hold still. "
The police go forth in the morning like
a flower, with every chamber loaded
and q handful of loose cartridges in
their pockets, and they return in the
evening cut down and withered. with
all the ammunition gone, but no dog.
1t is believed that if the city were not
so parsimonious. but would appoint a
city dog-catcher to catch the dogs and
hold them, the police would not expert
ence the trouble they now do.

Gov. Larrabee's inaugural oddresslt
the Iowa legislature has the true ring.
He promises, as far as in his power lies,
the enforcement of the prohibitory
liquor law. He says it's not now ques-

question of law or lawlessness. A bill
has been introduced empowering him
to remove mayors of cities where the

A ''gold-bug'' exchange is of the
opinion that when Senator Beck dies
and finds that the streets of the New
Jerusalem are paved with gold he will
at once file protest. That is certainly
complimentary to the Senator, much
more so than to intimate that his future
abode will be place where the pave
ment is good intentions.
