called gangrene, which often attacks the
extremities of animals-the tails, ears
and feet. A ring of dead tissue sur
rounds the organ, and it dies and drops
off. 1t is caused by some fungoid poi
son, such as ergot Of rye or grass,
smut of grain, etc. If cattle, horses
or swine suffer from indigestion,
they are Immediately doctored for hol-
low horn, wolf teeth or black teeth.
Cattle's horns are always hollow after
they are fully grown; horses always
have "wolf" teeth, and deranged
stomach discolors the teeth Of other
animals besides swine. A good farmer,
who feeds plenty Of proper, wholesome
food to his stock, never has to doctor q
case of hollow horn, wolf or black teeth,
and if he should cut of the horns of his
COWS, none OF them could breathe
through the holes thus made. Hun
dreds of Western farmers have de-
horned all their cattle, and no more in
jury was noticeable than where lambs
had their tails cut off, to which no one
ever objects. The farmer whose stock
is always ailing in some way is the one
who believes all these stories.

POLITICS IN THE HOUSE.
The: Scene Which Followed the News
of Thurman's Nomination.

In the House yesterday, Mr. Cox sent up
and had read an announcement of Thur
mans nomination. \ scene of wild con
fusion followed. Nearly every able.bodcd
Democrat was on his feet shouting and
cheering, aud the bandanas, which had not
been so prominent this morning, mystcri-
ously appeared IN every hand. one epthu-
siast tied one To the stick OF an umbrella
and waved 1t vigorously an enterprising
reporter IN the gallery deXterously dropped
one of the flaming symbols on each wing Of
the handsome golden eagle perched above
the speakers head, while Reading Clerk
Neil Brown and Mr.. Cultivate, of Ohio,
displayed upon the desk large picture Of
Thurman, surmounted by an aggressive
rooster.
Mir. Biggs. Of California, added to the
excitement 10y calling ont in voice broken
with emotion, ~ have worked thirty years
in California to see Thurman nominated. !
thank God he is now on the second place.
Mr. Bayne, of Pennsylvania, sarcastically
inquired of the cheering Democrats why
they manifested so much enthusiasm over
the tail of the ticket and so little over the
head.
Mr. GrOsvenor of Ohio, in explanation,
as he said, of the action Of the Democratic
convention in emitting all mention Of the
Mills bin from the platform, and patching
II up in subsequent resolution, had read
two telegrams-onc sent by Mr.. Breckin-
ridge, of Kentucky to Mr.. Watterson, say
ing that the failure to indorse the Mills bill
might defeat it, and the other from Mr.. Nc.
Millin, Of Tennessee, to Gov. Brown, max
ing the same statement aud adding, ave
charge bayonets here
Mr.. Grosvenor remarked that he did not
know what the gentleman meant by the
bayonet charge unless he referred to his re-
fusal to recognize Republican to move to
suspend the rules and assign days for pen
sion legislation.
Mr.. Kelley added that the clerk had
omitted the words shave the convention tic
its duty IN reading.
"And it had done it," retorted Mr.. Nc
Millin.
Mr.. Kelley ironically inquired II the con.
vention had fixed the date upon which the
Mills hill should go into effect.
Mr.. McMillin replied that 1t would be
fixed so that the gentleman would take little
comfort from II. The American peopc
We're determined that the monopoly power
should mu longer prevent the reduction OI

Finally, by Mr.. Mills's efforts, the HOUSE
was brought back to the consideration oi
the pending amendments.

TuE English parliament is once more
discussing the project oi purchasing all the

cost being estimated ut 5000, 100000, the
interest ON which, even at the present rate,
II paid for in consols at par, would be Sl55,-

purchasing Is that the ates Of transporta.
tion for freight aud travel is S5 per cent.

states most Of the railways are government

terminal charges are twice as high rs in the
countries named, and that in the interest
Of commerce, the state, If II owned the
roads. could reduce these charges. The OPP
pmCnts of the measure claim that the rates

tcrcst charge on the purchase money. The
New York san in discussing this subject
makes the curious mistake Of estimating
interest on consols at , per cent, forgetting
that Mr.. Goschen, the present chancellor of
the cNchequer, has reduced it to - per
cent.

The committee on resolutions OF the
Democratic National Convention, after a
two days, struggle, has been delivered of It's
platform. The tariff plank Is beautiful
aud ornate structure The members OF the
committee have succeeded In doing what
hotel men have been seeking for years to
to find an architect capable Of doing, that
Is, "huild house with none but corner
rooms fronting ON the street, The COM
lctcut and able architects OF the platform
have solved this difficult problem. Their
tariff structure is all corner rooms fronting
on the street and facing every way. The
Randall protcctiouist; the German modcr-
ate taiiiI man: the Morrison free trader, are
each and all provided with corner room In
this unique building. lis style Is neither
Gothic, GroCiun, or MoOrcsque. II has q
free trade front u fair trade front, and pro
lection front, Just accordngto the position
from which you view It, AS literary
production It would take dN the prizes at
any university commencement. The willy
Italian diplomat who said, Language was
invented to conceal thought" never put
together 50 many beautiful phrases that
expressed absolutely no meaning. No one
will he deceived by the phrase mongers Of
the convention. President Cleveland is til
candidate and his free trade message 4, the
platform. Children have often been seen
constructing elaborate card houses, which,
after spending much time on, they over
throw IN an instant. Aud so it was with
these architects Of the elaborate tariff dodge.
Tlirty-siX hours of session was required to
evolve the structure. Immediately after It
was read we lind in the report of the pro-
cc,dings Of the convention that
MI. scott, of Pennsylvania, under mStruc.
tiuns from the committee on resolutions,
| offered the following resolution:
RsOirCd. That this convention hereby in.
d0rscs and recommends the early passage of
the bin for the reduction of the revenue now
pending in the House of Representatives.
The resolution was adopted amid loud ap.
| rlause.
They built their card house, aud, after
exhibiting it, knocked it over. The Mills
| bill proposes free wool and free lumber,
| Oregon has been heard from on these propo-
sitiuns. II spoke the sentiment Of the
| country. The platform of 1884, the Presi-
dents message aud the Mills bill are all
| indOrsed, and neither of the three agree.
But why discuss this platform. 1t is a
farce. President Cleveland made his own
platform, nominated himself upon 1t, AMI
stands or falls by it. The only question
in the coming canvass Is Cleveland aud free
trade against protection to American labor
and American industries.

THE ST. Louis convention over, all eyes
will now be turned to Chicago. There has
been Il good deal of wild shouting at st.
Louis without amy very good reason for
it--a sort Of insanity that sometimes gets
into the air and for which there is no adc-
quatc eXplanation-bu we take 1t that in
the matter Of ealnestness and quiet resolve
the Chicago convention will be the more
marked Of the two y great question is to
he settled-the question Of whether Ameri-
can industries and American wOrkingmen
are to he protected or not, The st. Louis
platform indorses the Presidents free trade
message, and IN a separate resolution the
convention iudorsed the Mills I'M. The
issue is thus very clearly defined. The RE-
publicans are entrusted with the preservl-
tion of the protective principle. Enthusl-
asmGver candidates is thing for the hour
only. 1t Is five months, almost half Il year,
till the election. In the meantime the peo
pie will have time to revolve this great
question calmly and soberly, and we feel
confident they will not abandon that policy
Of government by which the prosperity and
glory Of the country have been achieved.
