The New York DAN lyman knows a
thing or two. lie has long been
charged, in common with bis bust
ness brethern tho world over, with
watering his milk But he has ceas
ed to bear with meekness the charge.
and seems TO have succeeded ia fix
ing it on some ono else. That is the
conclusion we draw from the state.
ment that the New jersey Board OF
Agriculture has recently had under
consideration the evil of train hands
stealing milk aud filling up the cans
with water As the laws of New
Jersey require the milk sold there ia
come up TO fixed standard Of pur
ity, and as that which fails to stand
the test is confscated, tho Jersey
dairymen are tho ones who suffer
from inferior milk, instead Of the
consumer, as in Pennsylvania IL
view OF this fact, the anxiety Of the
dairymen to shift the responsibility
for adulteration on some other shout
ders than their own, and 10 secured
change in the laws, eau be uuder-
stood.

Pennsylvania and the Presidency

When Blaine withdrew bis name
from the list of Preeideuiial caudi-
dates, his power over the nomination
was ended. Iu Maine aud possibly
n few other States. he could dictate
the choice of the delegations; but in
Pennsylvania, where he is str, ngest
outside of Maine, and iu most other
states, he will not be specially con-
suited as TO the proper candidate.
Had Blaine continued @ candidate,
no wonId not have received thor
onghly cordial support from Penn
sylvauia; IN any contest for the pIize
there would have been PENNSYLVANIA
votes against Lin; and bow, with
Blaioe elimHted from the struggle,

can politics.
The withdrawal of Mr.. Childs
closely followed by the Withdrawal
OF General Sheridan, presenis uew
and sudden aspect of the PresideuA
tial question in Pennsylvania. Had
Sheridan been candidate, Cametou
aud Quay would have been qnite
satisfied with him, as he is piaclical-
ly ono of the Old Guard that bad
its Thermopylp at Chicago ip 1850;
but with the field clear Of outside
complications, there is now an un-
mistakable drift of Republican seuti-
ment toward Senator Cameron. lie
has not formally, or iu any way, en-
tered the race, but it now seems
reasonably certain that the over.
whelming sentiment of the April
Convention will be favorable to his
nomination.
Discounted by all tho drawbacks
which conld be presented as obsta-
cles to CamerOn's candidacy, he i,
undoubtedly the strongest Republi-
can now named, in The exact lccali-
ties where his party has most need
OF strength. If any man can carry
Now York against Cleveland, Gamer
on can do it, aud he most distinctly
represents the issue that gives Re-
pnbIicans the only hope of success
in New Jersey aud Connecticut. He
would weaken Cleveland in his
strongest strongholds by command
ing the positive trust of the financial
aud business interests of the coun-
tryi he would give the highest meas.
ure of vitality to the active party ele..
men's, and he would, like Tilden, be
General~in-Uhief of his own CAM

chard tomfoolery; no Jay Gould
dinners; no State lost for want of
what would do just the most good
at the right time; and il elected,
there wonld be no mistaking who
aud what had won the victory. If
the Republicans OF Pennsylvan ia
wonld make their best fight for 1885,.
they will give Senator Cameron a
solid delegation to Chicago. PAila.

could do nothing but take the punishment
the marine inflicted on him. LaBlanche's

Marley seemed incapshe all through the
round TO do anything but take this terri
bile punishment. TiRA was called, with
Variey's eye badly swollen and a bloody
nose in addition.
When time was called for the second
round, the LaBlanche went right to work
again and his PUSHES, with upper cuts,
were so fierce that they, almost knocked
Marley out. lie landedia terrible blow in
the region of Narlcy's heart, and the latter
! dropped to the floor like a log. Marley
was SO groggy ut the call Of time that his
assistants had TO assist him TO his corner.
His lin was cut clean through and his left
eve was in the same condition, Marley

The third and last round was short
only thrty-iiye seconds. The Marine saw
that Narley was his game, and he COM

A RANK FORGERY.

Mr.. Jefferson Davis States He Never
Wrote Letter to Mrs. Scott.
When the late Mrs Fanny Ada Scott
died, there was found among her effects at
her clearinghouse letter purporting to
have been written by the Hon. Jefferson
Davis. Il abounded in kindly expressions
of regard for Mrs. Scott and her husband,
the late Gen. Thomas W. Scott II was
dated Wheeling w. Va, 1870. The body
Of the letter was written by some one
other than Mr.. Dayis-as though that OF
sccrc,ary-tho signature alone being OF
pnrporting 20 be that Of Mr.. Davis. The
letter winch was printed in The Mcmphi.
Avalanche has been reprinted In several
papcr, and lis publication IN the
New Orleans PicdVns brought u 70 the at
tcn,ion OF Mr.. Davis. Yesterday lac wrote
10 A Memphis friend, stating that the let
Ter was a forgery, and that, 20 far ~ his
memory served, neither Mrs. Scott nor
her husband, Gen. Thomas VI. Scott, was
ever known TO him. lie requested that
the fraud be- exposed. From this state
ment Of Mr.. Davis Il Is made clearly evil
dent that the iorgcr, not being sufficiently
confident Of his skill at CONTRIBUTING, had
simplihed his or her task by combining the
counterfeit 10 the signature.
