WISE LAW MAKERS NEEDED.

If the question be asked why wise
law makers, state and national, are
needed now more than few years ago,
the reason must be apparent to all
careful observers of the times. New
questions and problems of government
are being forced on the people and
must find adjustment, if possible, by
wise legislation. The rights of labor
are pressing upon public attention; the
laboring classes, when banded together,
are powerful element in this country,
capable of large control of the govern.
ment. Their reasonable demands must
be respected, and unreasonable de-
mands. if any there be, should be re-
Jected. Since the labor organizations,
under different names, the members of
which have become intensely In earn
est, meeting together and discussing
their rights, real or supposed, it is
natural they should become increasing
ly active in looking after their inter-
ests through legislation. A number
of persons form themselves into labor
organization and make demands on
legislators who know nothing of facts
parallel to such demand in the worlds
history, having no presidents for guild
ance, and being unskilled by expert
ence or qualified by education to Judge
wisely what can be expected in such
cases. The misfortune is that in this
country lines of policy have been adopt
ed that have been tried in Europe and
worked mischief. Deficiencies in leg
lslation often arise from want of
general education. The science of
political economy is still modern one,
and the questions which during these
later years have arisen add new COM
plications to our governmental affair s.,
which requires more than superficial
men to settle rightly. There are some
persons who proceed on the theory
that the American citizen readily be-
comes statesman when he acquires
the right to vote, and because he is a
popular and well-mannered man he is
competent to settle complex questions
in the halls of legislation.
The questions now before this coun-
try, and which legislators should be
competent to meet, are of the most diff
ficult character. They relate to the in-
terests and relations Of capital and
labor, to the treatment and RESPONSE
bilities of corporations, to the regula-
ton of manufacturers and to the as
sumptions of new functions of the
government. These are all matters in
which small mistakes in legislation
may be followed by disastrous conse-
quences. These are mostly new ques-
tons, and require profound thought
and knowledge of the principles of
political economy in their right deter
mination. There is pressing need of
well-balanced statesmen in our nation
al Congress, also of members in our
state legislatures thoroughly posted in
governmental affairs. 1t has been
we'll said that the established princi-
Piles of political economy should be
taught in every public school. On
well-educated voting people rests the
safety and perpetuity of the govern
ment.

THE CATTLE DISEASE.

The cattle disease known as pleur0'
pneumonia appears to be extending to
all parts of the country, and in many
places is making serious havoc with
cattle. The disease has not appeared
in this vicinity, but has been prevailing
in Chicago, especially among cattle fed
at the distilleries. Pleuro- pneumonia
is pronounced contagious, and all por-
tions of country are liable to it, the
same as from all other contagious dis
eases. So threatening has it's invasion
been that Governors of some states
have taken action to prevent its intro
duetion. Gov. Rusk, of this state, has
issued a proclamation prohibiting the
bringing of cattle into the state from
Illinois. The Commissioner of Agli-
culture at Washington says the de-
partment is doing what it can to ex-
terminate the disease, and calls for a
united effort on the part of the cattle
industry to secure the passage of law
by Congress which will give authority
to health officers to slaughter diseased
cattle, and fund to indemnify owners,
at least in part, for the loss of property.

THE MURDER OF DIR. HADDOCK
It is claimed that the murderers of DIR.
Haddock, the Methodist clergyman at
Sioux City, have been identified by the
confession of one of the conspirators,
who was in the plot to commit the
murder. If the statements are true,
Sioux City is the place for outlaws. It
is said that business men in that city
are standing behind the liquor saloons
and throwing obstacles in the way of
bringing the guilty parties to justice.

tional Democratic party which had been
yearly increasing in strength had at last
carried sufficient electoral vote to
triumph. But to this they have added
very distinct threat; in the Valley Virqin-
ian Of October LIST, 1S85-not twelve
months ago-the same writer says:
sThe President [Cleveland] holds his eff &c
because of this denial of equal representa-
ton at the ballot box-the suppression of the
vote upon which State representation in Con-
gress and the Electoral College is predicated.

and Mr.. Yost that though there be
no violence, and though Democratic
Southern State votes greater percentage
of its voting strength than Mr.. Blaine's
own State, and greater than many of the
strongest Republican States in the North
yet the President it elects, holds his seat
because of a ''denial Of equal representa-
