THROW on THE COAL ASHES.

For several days the streets were in a
very dangerous condition. and pedestri-
ans moved about at the peril of life or
limb. This state of affairs should not
be permitted TO exist twenty-four hours,
much less one week. The town is liza
ble for accidents resulting from such
sidewalks, and should compel occupants
of property either to remove the ice
from the sidewalks abutting on proper
ty occupied by them, within a reasona-
bic time, or to cover the sidewalks with
coal ashes, sand, saw-dust, or some other
material that will make walking safe.
Broken legs, arms, and in many cases
death has resulted at various places from
falls during this extraordinary season of

AMOS SHEPPARD, one of the Bellaire
city dads, and "Reddy" Williams, on
Friday night indulged in the sport of
knocking off hats. Sheppard's 'plug"
was flattened by Williams, when the
councilman became angry and pulled a
revolver. Later Williams procured a
revolver and compelled Sheppard to
hold up mis- hands. The affair created
considerable talk, but no arrests followed.

Four years ago it was found that the great
cattle industry of the country was endangered,
those engaged in it We're alarmed. The rapid
extension of the European lung plague of
pleurO pneumonia was serious. Outbreaks eX-
listed in Illinois, Missouri and Kentucky, and in
Tennessee The animals affected We're held in
quarantine. Five counties in New York and
from one to four counties in each of the states
of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware
and Maryland, were almost equally affected.
With this great danger upon us, and with the con
tagiOn already in the channels of commerce. with
the enOrnus direct and indirect losses already be-
ing caused by it, and when only prompt and en-
eTgetic action could be successful, there were in
TO eradicate the malady or giving the
state officials power TO cooperate with
it for this purpose. The department even lacked
both the requisite appropriation and authority
by securing state cooperation in connection with
authority from congress, the work OF eradication
has been pressed successfully, and this dreaded
disease has been eXtirpated from the western
states. and also from the eastern states with the
exception of n few restricted areas which are still
under supervision. The danger has thus been re
from the veXatious state restrictions which were
deemed necessary for a time.
DIFFUSION SUGAR PROCESS.
During the past four years, the process of diff
fusion as applied to the manufacture of sugar,
from sorghum and sugar cane, has been intro
duced into this country and fully perfected by the
experiments carried on by the department of ag-
Sidered to be the best and most economical one,
and it is through it that the sorghum sugar in
dustry has been established upon firm basis and
the road to its future success opened. The adop-
ton of this diffusion process is also extending in
Louisiana and other sugar producing parts of the
country, and will doubtless, soon be the only
method employed for the extraction of sugar
from the cane.

The adjustment of the relations between the
government and the railroad companies which
h I'VE received land grants and the guaranty of
the public credit in and of the constitution of
their roads should receive early attention. The
rrr.0rt of the majority of the commissioners ap-
pointed to examine the affairs and Indebtedness
OF these roads, in which they favor extension
Of time for the payment of such Indebtedness in
at least one case where the corpor-
alton appears to be able to COM
ply with the well guarded and exact terms
Of such extension and the reinforcement Of their
opinion by gentlemen of undoubted business
Judgment and experience appointed to protect
the interests of the government, as directors Of
said corporation may well lead to the belief that
such an extension would be TO the advantage of
the government. The subject should be treated
as a business proposition with view to final
realization of its Indebtedness by the government
prejudice or by way of punishment for previous
wrong doing.
