! To the Editor of the Ledger.
COLUMBIA, Mo, Dec. 14.-DEAR SIR ::
Regarding treatment for the prevalent
horse disease, | regret TO say l am I'M
able to grant you request for two e a
II First, | have given the LEDGER
one which On general principles is one
| which has given me very good results.
TAT that time l was not aware of the ex-
istence of DIR. Scott in Mexico.) Second,
it would no: be acting fairly towards
your local veterinarian to whom your
their animals get sick, if he is compe-
tent. 1t is very unfortunate that people
seem to look upon veterinary science as a
kind of humbug, or as q science which is
use. If veterinarians of ability were
called in time when animals get sick they
would save many q dollar. How often
have l seen animals die simply because
they We're without proper treatment I'M
til too late or because they received too
many irrational ones! Proprietors some
times fear the expense of a veterinary
surgeon, and call when they have ex-
hausted their w and then
they have to lose the patient and pay the
fee besides. The diseases which kill the
horses are digestial troubles. There is
not the least doubt of that, and the ar
ticle which 1 read a few days since, and
is purported to be from tine pen of DIR.
Scott, is full of good common serse sug-
gestions to proprietors, and although
cannot fully endorse one or two points OF
his treatments for some particular cases
of Indigestion, for they are not all exact
ly alike, his opinion on the whole sub
ject is worthy of consideration by those
interested. The details of actual treat
ment in the various forms of indigestion
and collie are matters that each practi-
toner knows how to regulate and apply,
and each have their treatment of predil-
ection and each adopt the one which has
given them the best results. Like in hu-
man medicines no one disease Except
some contagious ones) has an exclusive
specific infallible treatment. They &C.
casionaliy have to be treated according to
circumstances. The treatment l adopt
for the majority Of cases of indigestion
In the horse, is the one l gave you some
time ago, and the same one adopted by
the Abort Veterinary School Of France
q school there centuries old. Surely,
this Is long enough experience TO warrant
its application. / have seen it applied
there successfully, besides in my own
practice since 1879.
1 will be pleased to reply to the best OF
my ability to any question relating to the
prevention OF epidemic diseases of Local
stock, and think it would pay the peo-
pie to call on your local veterinarian fol
prescriptions or else the sound Judge
mens denoted in his late article on indi-
gestion of the horse Is very deceiving.

have done and the judgment is re-
corded in few words, No retail sale
of liquor except over u public bar,
in a place from which all minors are
excluded, and then only after the
traffic has paid such heavy tar as will
probably pay all the financial expen-
ses and costs which follow such traffic
after bearing equal burdens Of other
businesses for the support of the
municipal and local government.
No discussion will change this
Judgment until there shall come Il
change of circumstances; when
there is no liquor traffic in Mexico
or Audrain county to tax, undouhtiy
all system of its taxation will fall
with it. No discussion is needed to
educate our citizens in regard to
political obligations. Strangers
need not trouble themselves about
these matters. Our farmers in the
county, our business men in the city,
probably have clear ideas of political
obligations as well the duties they
owe to their neighbor, and the gener-
al public within our county. Nc

The Vice.president, Mr. W. P, Rich

influence and will add greatly to the
strength Of the corporation.
The cashier, Mr.. W. S. Jones, is
known in the Valley as one of the

RAILROAD LEGISLATION.

A very strong feeling is growing up
against a National Railroad commits
sion. The decision of the Supreme
Court in the Mississippi cases has
directed attention to the question, and
disclosed the fact, that a National
Railroad Commission would not be a
very Democratic body, but it would
be a very autocratic body. A vast
number of the most cOnserva-
tive and patriotic Democrats are
somewhat alarmed lest Congress
should do more harm than
good, if it should pass a law,
creating a Commission. 1t is to be yet
decided whether a Commission dressed
with power to do any real and lasting
good, would not from laundering with
an intricate and difficult question, do
more harm than good.
Let us take Vicksburg as an illus
tration. Suppose it should be attempt
ed to enforce the dogma of the Super
visionists, that railroads shall not
charge any more for short hauls than
for long ones. Suppose that doctrine
was put into practice by a National
Commission, would it not be al abso-
lutte death blow to the shipment of
cotton from here by rail to the East
and to other distant markets? And
would it not prevent the very compe-
tition that is shown to be SO valuable ?
OnEthis subject the Louisville Cour-
ier'JouFnal has theiEfollowing logical
editorial
Restricting imports by the tariff, a
paternal Government proposes by rail
way regulation TO create a home mar
ket for wheat now exported, and so pat
a stop to the growth Of our interna
tional commerce.
There is danger in this bill; graver
danger than most of the Democrats are
willing to admit. Taken in its full
significance. it is a holder step toward
Capitalization, a grayer menace to self
government, which is local govern
ment, than was the emancipation proc
lamation OF Abraham Lincoln. The
National Railroad Commission will
have a power oyer the indus
trial forces of the nation such
as the President and his Cabinet
do not possess. They a make and
unmake cities. They can advance or
depress the price Of stocks each day.
They Can give or refuse permission to
make discriminating rates and enrich
or bankrupt any railroad. They can
bless n section and curse another,
and raise up one mau while casting an
other down.
Is there any thoughtful mar who,
considering the matter carefully, does
not see that it will be a matter of self
preservation for the roads to concen-
trate their efforts in order to control
this Council of Five?"
The Courier-Journa has always con-
tended, and it to-day, with firmer faith
than ever, holds that all that is neces-
sary to solve most of these perplexing
problems is such general legislation as
VIII give greater force to the plain
principles of common law for the pre-
lection of the people against the exac-
lions and unjust discrimination" of
the cmomon carriers of the country.
This senate bill sacrifices many of the
safeguards which hedge in the rights
OF people, and it gives nothing in ex-
change which justifes such a sacrafce.
