What Ohio Farmers have Lost by
Cholera and Texas Fever.

The Board of Live Stock Commissioners
filed its first annual report with the Cover
nor, Tuesday, at Columbus. After citing the
act under which the Board was appointed
the report says: ''The loss which the State
suffers annually on hogs, sheep and cattle is
very large. During the last six years $780,
566 hogs died of disease in Ohio. Their cash
value was $4,130,2S5. Nearly 10 per cent. of
the hog product die annually. Most of the
mortality is caused by hog cholera. In some
of the corn States the mortality during the
last year has been very much greater than it
ever was in Ohio. In Iowa for the year 1885
the Assessors returns show that of 4,32S, 100
hogs 2,20O, SOB died, or more than half of the
entire hog crop of the State for the year.
During the period of six years 133.340 horn
ed cattle, worth nearly $1,000, 900, or $500, 900
annually, have died from disease. The COM
parison shows that Ohio loses 10 per cent. of
her hogs and about 1 per cent. of her sheep
and cattle annually" The report contains
figures showing that the loss is not peculiar
to Ohio or America. The report says that
"A'AAO PASuAO 6AloLS Ill
the largest cattle market in the world, to an
extent at present unknown, arising from an
undetermined source, it will be seen that the
cattle interests of Ohio are in jeopardy every
hour, especially when we know that large
numbers of cattle are purchased there and
shipped to Ohio for feeding. These con-
siderations demand some legislation COM
mensurate with the importance of the inter-
ests which they concern. The neglect of
animal hygiene in distilleries, where animals
are kept in close, steaming unventilated
stables, where their food is placed before
them so hot that it must cool before it can
be eaten, has given permanent lodgment of
tuberculosis in these stables, as well as a
source of milk supply for the market which
must be unhealthy.
The Commission recommends that the sale
of milk produced from distillery fed COWS be
prohibited, and that the statute relating to
the sale of milk be made more explicit
They think the importations of cattle from
England-in fact, from Europe-should be
forbidden, and Texas cattle should be pre-
vented from moving beyond their natural
range until frost has come in the States to
which they are driven. These cattle leave
upon the soil a microbe, which, entering the
bodies of any unacclimated animals grazing
after or with these Texas cattle. produce
Texas fever. Legislation is recommended
making owners of cattle and railroads bring
ing cattle into this State responsible for
damage occasioned thereby, and it should
not be necessary for the plaintiff to prove
that the parties bringing such diseased cattle
knew them to be imported or infectious.

From the Ottawa Sentincl.I
A RASH CONCLUSION.

EDITOR SENTINEL:-The Weekly LoW
Bulletin, professedly published for the
profession of all parties, In the number
of Nov. 1st, informs its readers, while
advising them of similar and success
full effort of the convict Francis to es-
cape, and telling of his attempted es-
cape at Columbus, in the penitentiary
cases there, assumes that this attempt
chad one good effect of disposing of
the claim that these prisoners are CIV
ing false testimony under promise or
expectation of pardon" Here is
palpable effort pending, and before
trial to endorse Gov. Foraker's depraved
course, in bringing the evidence of
criminals, over whom he has control,
to defile politics by their pretended
revelations. Such a man as Francis,
whatever promise had been made to
him to secure his testimony, would
prefer immediate escape to any uncer-
tain promise. And the hasty and par
tizan conclusion of the Bulletin, while
admitting past habit in this respect, on
Francis part, only exhibits the editors
credulity, just before election, to help
discreditable political effort on the
part of him who passes for head and
Governor of the Republican party of
Ohio. 1t was not legal news, for the
comment determined no intelligent
legal conclusion. but one in any view
too broad for the pretense of reason for
it's sustainment. This Bulletin is palm
ed off on Democrats as legal law mag
azine, and notice this not solitary in
stance where its not able conductor
gives us his partizan prejudiced con-
clusions which he mistakes for law and
sense.

sB There seems to be some dissatisfac-
tion among Democratic politicians here and
elsewhere over President Cleveland s attitude
with regard to appointments. If the gentle
men voted the Democratic ticket in 1884
they have themselves alone to blame. They
knew that President Cleveland had, as Gov
ernor of New York, demonstrated the fact
that he could not be "run" by politicians
and they knew, too, that the Democratic
platform promised just such reform as Presi-
dent Cleveland is giving US. Knowing these
facts the people elected Cleveland and they
are more than satisfied with his splendid
record. The dissatisfied politicians who
have not got what they wanted had better,
for their own sakes, open their eyes to the
real state of affairs. Cleveland may not suit
the sore-heads but he does the people.-To-
ledo Times.

~ The Republican leaders were boasting
before election that they would certainly
have a majority in the next House of Repre-
sentatives by reason of Democratic disaffec-
tion and lethargy. 1t is true, there was no
activity on the part of the Democrats in
many districts, but instead of voting the
wrong ticket, they refrained from voting at
all, and Notwithstanding this feeling, the
Democrats carry the Lower House by good
working majority of about Is. The Democ-
racy have the vote and can carry the Lower
House by greater or less majority every
time. In 1888 we will again see the majority
raised to forty or fifty.

q" It seems the Toledo Democrats are
not satisfied unless they have something on
to boil. The latest thing thrown into the
pot is new paper project, one that will be
anti-Hurd from the word go. Well, prob
ably it is again time for some body to put
money into new daily at Toledo, only to be
sunk in the course of few months. The
Bee is now Democratic from stem to stern,
and instead of Democrats talking of another
paper let them turn in and give it that sup
port it deserves. That is the way to be of
service to the Democratic party.

tB The revenues of the government are
far in excess of the necessary money needed
to carry on the government, then why is this
extra amount of money taken from the pock-
cts of the people to lay idle at Washington.
The present tariff system, which brings about
this state of affairs, is relic of war times
and is simply robbery in these times of peace
It robbs the poor to benefit the rich, and why
so much opposition to tariff reform should
arise from the lower classes is a mystery
hard to solve. The Democratic party is
pledged to tariff reform and in time will give
it to the people.

W- Talk about monumental lies-how's
this contribution to the general fund that we
find floating around in our exchanges. In
our opinion it takes the -four barrel. A girl
in Western town about a year ago swallow
ed trade dollar and for long time her life
was despaired of. Two months ago a num-
ber of red sores broke out all over her body,
and when these were openeda copper cent
was found in each one. A physician who
was called in removed eighty-four cents in
this manner, that being all that made their
appearance. Since then the girl suffers no
inconvenience whatever.

~ The Indiana Democrats will be quite
right in contesting the constitutionality of
the election of the Lieutenant Governor
The constitution does not recognize any
such filling of vacancy during the constitu-
tional term. In similar circumstances States
run without regularly elected Governor,
and the United States runs withouta regular
ly elected President. There was no earthly
occasion, and certainly no authority, to elect
a Lieutenant Governor in Indiana before the
appointed time.-Cincinao Enquirer

~ President Cleveland is the first Presi-
dent since General Grants first term who has
been able to command party majority in
the House at the Congressional election next
succeeding his Inauguration. Before the
war the same rule prevailed. Pierce's over
whelming victory in 1852 was followed by a
Republican house in 1854, and Buchanan's
election in 1856 was followed by Republi-
can House in 1858. Even Mr.. Lincoln had a
narrow escape in 1862, as New York, Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Indiana went against his
administration.

~ Mr.. Carlisle has pulled through all
right, with majority which would have been
a good deal bigger if his Democratic constit-
uents had walked up to the fact that there
was an election last Tuesday. Mr.. Carlisle's
defeat would have been generally regretted,
even by his political opponents in Congress.
His narrow escape this year should teach the
Democrats in his district that trusting to
luck to elect man is mighty foolish and
wholly unsafe. The Kentucky Democrats
need to be stirred up.-LimG Times.

Hon. NJ. A Foran's Book-"The Other

We have received from the publishers,
Ingham, Clark q Co., of Cleveland, a copy Of
the new story just out and written by the
Hon. NJ. A. Foran. Member of Congress for
three successive terms from the Cleveland
district. The title of the book is ''The Other
Side," novel, trade union story, and is
intended as an answer to Chas. Reeds ''Put
Yourself in His Place." and the anonymous
work known as the "Bread Winners" 1t is
both interesting and instructive, and should
be read by all laboring men and capitalists,
as the lessons inculcated in its pages are
most pertinent in these times of labor agita-
tion. The work no doubt will have an
immense sale. The publishers wish agents
in every township to canvass for it, and those
wishing to secure territory should correspond
with them at once.

LIBERTY CENTER. O., Nov. 18th, lSS,


EDITOR NoRTHwEsT:-In perusing your pa
per noticed that your grog-shop correspond
ent, "Tyro," is slandering our citizens for no
other reason than simply because they differ
from him in their views on the liquor question.
"Tyro," with his vile and forked tongue, has
heaped abuse and falsehoods ON our Mayor
for urging the Council to carry out the wish
es of the voters of our village as expressed at
the ballot-box by fifty majority in favor of
prohibition. From the Mayor he jumped on
our school directors and rediculed our new
school house, which is an. ornament to our
town, and is thorough made and substantial
structure, and to cap the whole he now with
his blasphemous tongue attacks the M. E.
Church by claiming that "they are trying to
attract Gods attention during the hours of
worship by blowing tin horns." 1t is evident
that every official and every organized society
in our village that does not bend the knee to
the saloons must take the slang and abuse of
your bald and fatheaded correspondent.
"Tyro" seems to be terribly exasperated be-
cause our temperance voters sustained the
party that passed the Dow Liquor Law in
stead of needing the advise of one who by pen
and voice is fighting against our form of
government viz: "that a majority must rule"

sB- A new use for the tobacco plant has
been discovered. Its stems and waste, it is
claimed, are equal to linen rags in the manu-

than $40 ton, linen rags $40 to $50. There
is no expense in asserting the former, and
very little shrinkage, as against loss of one
third of rags. The yearly tobacco waste is
estimated by the census report at from g.
100000 to 100000 pounds.
