Cattle Disc asas

The Importance of Federal legislation
looking to the extirpation of contagious
diseases amoug domestic animals. cannot
be to strongly emphasized. The interests
involved are enormous, and the prevalence
OF pleuro-pneumonia and hog cholera
threaten not only to paralyze this stock
industry, but unless speedily stamped out
will prove destructive of one of the chief
food supplies of the nation. During the
past few years several alarming outbreaks
of the deadly pleuro pneumonia haye occur
red among the cattle of several States, in
GLIDING Kentucky, Ohio. Missouri, Hi
nois. Maryland and Pennsylvania. The
fact that this disease has secured foot
hold proves menace to the entire cattle
industry, and effects loss to the export
trade. amounting annually to millions of
dollars. The English government requires
all cattle slaughtered at the ports Of land
ing within ten days after ARRIVAL which
has caused depreciation in value of from
$l5 to $50 per head. Virginia is specially
nterested-involving $20,000,000 of in
vestment, and continually liable to the
contaglon from cattle shipped across her
territory from Infected States to the east
ern markets and Europe.
The last Congress passed bill through
the Senate, which failed to pass the House
for want of time, appointing commits
sion and making an appropriation for the
purpose of stamping out these diseases.
Mr.. Palmer, of Michigan, has now intro
duced a bill in the Senate having the same
object, and it is endorsed by every cattle
growers association of any Importance in
the country, and by large majority of
State legislatures, boards of agriculture
and live stock sanitary commissions. We
sincerely hope our representatives will
vote to make this law. Prompt and
heroic treatment the experience of all
countries shows is the only remedy.
Commissioner Colman, of the Agricul
turaf Department., has. at the request of
the Senate committee on agriculture,
written his views on the suppression OF
pluro pneumonia. After reviewing the
work OF the bureau of animal industry, he
states that the plan now in use, that of CO.
operation with the States, is preferable to
any other, and that the work of the bureau
is now going on smoothly and efficiently.
He advises that the same plan be contin-
ued. The commissioner suggests certain
amendments to improve the act of 1884,
and cautions the Senate against the adop-
tion of certain provisions of pending bill
which would. he says, destroy all hope of
effective work. Mr.. Coleman is the most
practical and efficient commissioner the
government has had since the war; is de-
voted to the duties of Office and discharges
them intellige ntly and ably.

The Legislature.

In the State Senate, on the 18th, Mr.. Hurt in
troduced the following resolution:
Whereas. it has been represented to the Sen
ate that the committee of the estate of l.. d.
WOmack, an inmate in the Western Lunatic
Asylum, has been required to pay much
nance of said lunatic than the average cost of
each patient in that asylum, appears from
evidence furnished by the officers Of said asy-
lum, the Committee on Finance are instructed
to inquire into said irregularity and report
what legislation Is nece ssary for the protection
OF the class of patients known as pay patients,
and report by bill or otherwise, as said COM
mttee may deem best in the matter. for the
mittee shall have authority in the investiga-
tton of the matter to send for persons and
papers.
1t is alleged that during the forty years con-
f1nement of Mr.. Womack in the asyl um, the
overcharge amounted to eight thousand seven
hundred and sixty-six dollars. The resolution
was agreed to.
Senator Jones introduced bill to provide a
mode by which the sanity of persons charged
with crime may be tested. and to require that
any such person found to be insane shall be
confined in one of the hospitals for the insane.
Mr.. Jones introduced resolution instructing
the Finance Com.nitte TO inquire as to the
propriety of allowing all lunatics who are sent
to either of the asylums of the State to remain
free of charge, except that the relations or
friends of any such lunatic may ct III II" e]ec
ton incur any expense III ey may.see tit 10 IN
cur for the comfort OF such lunatics, and report
by bill or otherwise. Agreed to.
The Cover nor to-day returned to the Senate,
without his approval, the bill to permit tax
payers who have rendered coupons in payment
of takes to make payment in money to county
and city treasurers. His obj ections to the law
are:
First. The relief Granted applies to those per-
sons who may hereafter tender coupons for
taxes well as to those who have heretofore
made such tender aud there but two
terms of the Circuit CourL per annu.-i the priv
ilege granted of paying county treasurers after
tender of coupons will be in many cases to
grant six months time to withdraw the same,
mourning but trifiing costs, thus offering an in
ducement 10 tender
Second. The bill seeks 10 make the taxpayer
an officer to return receipts tor taxes to the
Auditor of Public Accounts. who shall then
open an account with the treasurer. &c. AS
many tax payers will never send these receipts
IL is plain the treasurer s accounts Will be open
for an indefinite period. The eleventh section
OF the present law is concise, clear and COM
prehensive. both in providing for the collec-
ton of the tax, and the settlement and closing
up the accounts of the officers
Third. A very large portion of the tenders
which have been made were for taxes of 1885,
and there is now due upon such taxes more
than years interest This bill relieves the
parties who made the tenders from payment
of this interest.
These are some of the reasons which induce
me to send the bill back to the Senate without
my signature. FITZHUGH LEE.

the lack of funds. the trustees often prefer a
third to a first grsde teacher. because they are
cheaper. Of course this Injuries the schools
very much.
To cover the county and provide school facil-
tiles to all of the people we need about fifteen
or sixteen more schools. The country is SO
broken and mountainous that 1t requires q
larger number of schools than if it were more
level. Our aim now is to SO locate the schools
that no person will be over miles from a
school. Yet in many cases they are miles,
and in some instances 81 or miles. In bad
weather these latter persons are practically de-
barred of all school privile ges. and irregular
attendance make the school but little benefit
to the scholar and the scholar disadvantage
to the school. We need houses fearfully, and
where we have them we need to repair them,
We need school apparatus, maps, globes, charts,
etc. We should run the schools for at least two
months longer each year, and in the small
towns and villages, where the children are net
compelled to work. the schools should be run
for nine MONTHS
This is but mere fragment of the evil
dence presented from every section of the
South. It is all to the same effect-a cry
coming up from the children of the poor

"* We need trained teachers, skilled

1t has high value; to secure these trained

without exception, the most complete
and magnificent spectacular play ever
presented to an American public.
The chief creations for the show will
be barges or floats on wheels, the pictures
consisting of historical representations of
events associated with the first settle
ment Of the Northwest Territory, the
subjects for the first being chiefly aborigi-
nal, the latter coming as far down into
modern history as subjects can be found
that may be readily and truthfully por-
trayed. Besides these, however, other
aoats'will be allowed in line Indicative of
the different lines Of industry carried on
in the Queen City, but all of which must
first be submitted to the managers of the
parade and successfully "pass muster"
Beginning with the historical sketches
ion which, by the way, eminent scenic
artists have been engaged for weeks past)
there will be the Symmes' party crossing
the mountains from the east to the head
waters Of the Monongahela. The por-
trait of the chief figure (Judge Symmes)
is pronounced an excellent one, taken
from o picture of the original. Next
comes representation of the council at
Marietta, O., body Of men to whom the
Northwest Territory were indebted for
the first laws ever enacted for the govern
ment Of that large section of country.
Then follows allegorical representations
of some historic scene from several states
adjacent to Ohio. For instance, one from
Kentucky represents the meeting of
Squire Boone with his brother, the IA
nous hunter, Daniel Boone, after the
formers return from "the states" From
Indiana there is the portage of Marquette,
the French explorer, crossing the Illinois
river to the head waters of the Wabash,
this journey really and literally being the
first exploration by white men of the
territory of Indiana. Another will be
General Roger Clarke's attack upon Vim
cennes, closely followed by life-like
picture of old Fort Washington, Cincin-
natl, which stood just east of Broadway
on Third street, and which, in 1795, was
the principal structure in what is now
Justly termed the "Queen City of the
West.'
Perry's victory on Lake Erie will also
be seen, the artist selecting the moment
when the naval hero is leaving his sink
ing flag ship, the ST. Lawrence. The fur
trader, that enterprising pioneer business
man, will also be portrayed, tho scene in
this instance being laid near "Laramies
Store, now with another name, a settle
ment in the State of Indiana.
Still another will be the famous inter
view between General w. II. Harrison
and "'rhe Prophet" the brother OF the
celebrated Indian Chief Tecumseh, at
Wea Prairie, near Vincennes, and also
the treaty of Greenville, the scene of
Logan's great speech, familiar to every
school boy, in which IL the sentence,
"Who is there to mourn for Logans Not
one 1"
One Of the chief artistic effects in the
line will be simply and wholly allegorical.
The subject will be ''rhe Queen OF the
West" The central figure will be seated
on u globe or sphere, showing the grand
expanse of the western country, the
queen sheltered by the '.remple OF
LIBERTY Such will be the character Of
the principal feature Of the pageant.
