Pleuro Pneumonia Among Cattle.-The
Department of agriculture furnishes the follow
ing, which is Of general interest: "By recent
law the Commissioner of Agriculture is author
lied to adopt such measures as he deems best, in
CO. operation with State authorities, to prevent the
spread of pleuro- pneumonia. Maryland has &C
cepted the plans of the Commissioner, and the
work of stamping out the disease has been COM
menced. Three animals were condemned and
killed, and post mortem examinations in each case
showed unmistakable evidence of pleuro- pneumo-
MIA. Arrangements were made to kill all sick an
finals found in the State, the Maryland authorities
having agreed to condemn all that are found in
fected. Other States are likely to consent to CO.
operate with the department" Maryland has
been for some time most actively engaged in the
suppression of the disease, and has the matter
well in hand. Animals presenting decided symp-
toms have been from time to time slaughtered and
paid for out of the State appropriation for the
purpose. A number of herds in which single an
| imas have been affected are now quarantined,
and the quarantine will be continued until all pos

The Jones Family Reunion.-The Balti-
more Sun of goth instant says: ga reunion of the
descendants of Philip Jones, Jr., who surveyed
and laid out Baltimore in 1870, will be held at
"Walnut Grove" Patapsco Neck, Baltimore coun-
ty, on August 4. His descendants of the name of
Jones are not numerous. His eldest daughter
married Col Nicholas Rogers, who built the first
square-rigged vessel sailing from Baltimore. His
other daughter died young. His only surviving
son, Judge Thomas Jones, of the Court of Appeals
of Maryland, only had three sons-Philip, Thos.,
Jr., and Harry. The last mentioned never mar
ried, and left by will the home place to his nephew,
John 7. Jones, its present owner. Judge Jones's
daughters were Mrs. Elizabeth, wife of Maj. Lloyd
Beall, of the I'm ted States army; Mrs. Josiah
Daam. of Hartford county, and Mrs. Jacob Schley,
of Baltimore. Hon. John Paul Jones, of Indiana,
is the only surviving son of Philip. son of Judge
Thomas Jones, and Jacob Jones, of Wisconsin,
and John T. Jones, who never married, and who
will be the host of the day, the only surviving
sons of Thomas, Jr These with their families
are the only surviving descendants of the name of
Jones. The reunion promises to be very pleas

Adjusting Fire Insurance Rates.-The
Belair Algis of last week says: "The executive
committee of the Mutual Fire Insurance Company
in Hartford county met in Belair and adjusted the
rates for insurance for three and five years. under
recent amendments to the constitution adopted by
the members The premium rate was unchanged,
but the interest on premium notes for extended
periods was reduced, as follows: For three years
insurance, 5 per cent. on premium note, or S25O a
year on each ST 900 insurance. For five years,
per cent on premium note, or 50 on each $1,000
annually. No charge to be made for policies of
insurance for three or five years. The rates adcp-
ted are the same as those of the Farmers Mutual

falsehood and Misrepresentation,
makes the denial and then strikes
out to demolish people who have
been watching for a denial of the
affair, but who have just seen it as
it cleaned through the wrath of the
accused. If the editor in question
had a grain of sense under his jour
nalistic jockey cap, he would have
denied the matter before and thus
have given those who know OF
heard of the affair to make up their
minds in the matter.
Why this editor should have
made lunge at us we cannot say,
except that it must have been in
the spirit Of the wolf in the fable
who was spelling to demolish some
thing and declared war simply be-
cause be wanted to fight. The Ga
zette SAYS that the BEE "assumes
to be welded to democratic lies
and is willing to aid and abet with
the common ereing to the annihila-
ton of his race and party. He re,
peats the same idea dozen times
before he wipes his pen.
Now the Gazette simply lies when
it says that We are welded to dem
ocratlc lies or any other lies. If the
alligator can point to ANYTHING in
cratic lies we wOnld like to know
it. If we are welded to anything
aside from our domestic and CON
jugal interests, it is to the interest
of the colored people, whose inter.
ests cannot be permanently scared
by any kind of lies.
We do not, like our contempo-
rary. bow to tyranny and party
bossism. We have come to the
conclusion that principles are with
out constructive force when they
are simply painted OIL party plat.
forms aud expressed in windy plat
ltudes. We believe that good men
are the true conservators aud rep
resentatives of good principles and
we have always sought to bring
them to the support of the colored
people. What we want are friends
men who are willing to be Just
to all citizens of whatever party,
color or creed.
We do not, as the Gazette has
done. strike at its friends even in
Its own party; but striving to
break down prejudice and remove
lnvidiOuS distinctions we are will
ing to join hands with honest men,
wherever found and help to bull
up our people in sympathy, patri- |
0tlsm aud affection. Those who |
are willing to become the slaves OF |

ways in favor Of good men wher |
aver found. The Gazette may call |

MEN NOT PARTY.

Our greeneyed contemporary
the Cleveland Gazette, in its Ouix-
Otic pass at the Plaindealer, sought
to excoriate, at the same time, the
BEE. The Gazette takes exceptions
20 the suggestion thrown out by
the Plaindealer that she does not
deny his guilt" to which the out
ragged Gazette returns with a ne.
culiar twitch of its assinine nos
trils that 1--WE do most emphati
cally deny the charge" with the
gentle reminder that "we do not
condescend to notice every false
hood and Misrepresentation.
We are somewhat surprised that
the Gazette has not denied the
charge before this. The history of
self-prostitutiOu and breach of con-
fidrnce and honor with which the
Gazettee has been charged, in our
opinion, deserved an Immediate
denial, both on account of himself
and of Mr.. Douglas whose friend he
professed to be. In the light OF
this. the Gazette should have
thanked the Plaindealer for the
kindness Of suggesting that the
matter had been permitted to stand
without denial and confessed an
error i'm the proper spirit.
But how does the Gazette take
it? He raves and foams, iutimates
that the Plaindealer is guilty of

harmony CEMETERY.

A bill has at last been filled by
the lot holders of Harmony Gene
tety against the Trustees of tha
institution. The bill sets fortf
the history Of the formation of the
association and its management
from 1857 to the present time. The
cOmplalnaDts over that large sum
of money have been obtained from
the sale OF lots and that such sums
have gone into the possession OF
John f. Cook who claims that such
sums so collected are not held in
trust for the lot-proprietors or for
the purpose of improving the
grounds. 1t seems that the affairs
Of the society are very much mixed
and that the resting places of our
beloved dead have become the
ground of an unhallowed squabble
over a sum Of money. This is very
unfortunate {; but since it has been
provoked by d long series of abus-
es aud neglect, 1t is hoped that
the matter may be settled definite
ly 10y the courts. The dispute is
one which will involve the honor of
all parties concerned and it w IL be
wisdom to let the law take it's
course aud let the judgement fall
where it belongs. To discuss the
matter on street corners and to in
dulge in harsh and unjustifable
threats and aspersions will ONLY
provoke personal friends and per-
hapS involve unpleasant and un.
proftible litigation.
But it is not to be forgotten that
the questions involved in the suit
are serious and must be settled
fairly and fully. That the cemete
ry has been grossly neglected, no
one will doubt who has visited the
grounds and it is exceedingly un.
Fortunate that more respect has not
been shown th, SO whose pareD
