Hunting Mad cats.

HARRoDsBURG, ky, March l5--TbeJe is a
great scare in the Mt Moriab neighborhoOd
near Burgin. Ky. Il appears that some
time ago a cat in that viciniiy vas bitten by
a mad dog. The inOculated feline spread
the disease, until now nearly every eat in
the township has the rabies and the people
are almost panic stricken. The brutes are
far more ferocious than mad dogs, and actu-
ally pursue people. A few days ago Miss
Agnes Bonita. one Of the best known young
ladies Of this county. while walking through
the yard, was attacked by ons of The rabid
animals, which pursued her to her room
and kept her there until she was rescued by
members Of her family.
More than dozen persons have been bit
ten, and Mary Heath, Jane Ellison, Kate
Vanderpool and Tommy Hildebrsnd, all
school children. were badly mang!ed by
cats Nearly all the domestic animals in
the neighborhood have been bitten, and
there is no telling where the thing will end.
The schools are closed and the men are
hunting cats, and the pop Of the rife is
heard on all hands.
kn organized effort will be made to kill
every cat in the tOwpship, and every animal
that shows the least sign Of rabies will be
killed instantly. The bitten persons are in
the hands Of physicians. and every effort
will be made 10 save them from hydropho-
bia.

Io the campaign OF lsSs the principal
arguments Of Democratic stump speakers
eounded on President Cieveland's re-
morkable message Of the December pre-
cedine-was that there was an enormous
surplus in the United States Treasury
aurplus Of something like s2000oo,OOO,
which would 90 on growing unless II was
stopped by the enactment Of a low tariii.
Their whole argument for the Mills Dill
and a tariff for revenue only was based
upon this enormous surplus They
thought 10 scare the country aDd make
converts to their free trade theories oy
this tremendous bugaboo- The result
rather disappointed their expectations
The people Of the United States at the
polls in November 1855, showed pretty
conclusively that they were not nearly
so much afraid Of surplus as Messrs-
Cleveland. Carlisle and Mills thought
they would be.
This issue having failed, the Demo-
cratic leaders in Congress have been cast
ingabout them for another, and now they
think they have found it, Mr.. Carlisle
has acted As the arithmetic man The
Democratic affidavit editor, 50 to speak
and he has figured that at the end OF the
,,resent session Of Congress the country
will have 10 face. not a horrible surplus,
INT a still more horrible deficit. BY the
aid Of fgures-whish, Of course, cannot
lieany more than hey did in 1883, where
they proved a surplus Of s2o0'ooO-oOo-
the ex.Speaker makes out that the "ord'-
nary expenses" Of the government VIII
Uipe out ,the present surplus, and create
deficit Of jus, So ,09o,llo. This is moth
ing. though, compared to what follows
Bv the aid Of lively and exuberant
imagination, Mr. Carlisle manages to
place the possible appropriations for pen
sions at S70SG6s 600, and 50 create
probable deficit that is indeed appalling.
This is very pretty bubble. 1t was
almost a pity 10 break il. But one shot
irom the Cannon at the head Of the APP
propriatiom Committee has resolved 1t
into air and water Mr. Cannon, as chair
man Of the committee. is in position to
know pretty accurately what the esti-
mated receipts and expenditures OF the
next fiscal year will be, and he says that
the ordinary appropriations for the year
will not exceed those Of last year; while
The additional appropriations on account
of pensions and public buildings will
amount to not more than S4O,0ooOO0. He
believes. therefore, that there will be
margin Of something like ssOOOOOOO
The probabilities are that the deficit
scare will prove TO be as harmless little
iack-in-the-box as was the surplus scare.
Isut the democrats are dreadfully hard
up for an issue, and they will work this
one for all il is WORTHY J.. Nad e
ErproSs.

TO prove a Conspiracy.

BRooKLYE, n. y, March l3.-The Nc
Gala investigation was continued before the
Court Of Inquiry at the Navy Yard to-day
The examination of witnesses only tended
to repeat and enlarge upon the evidence here
tofore brought out about cutting down
Walker and putting Others in irons and
strait jackets to avoid mntiny. One point,
however, Lawyer Choate wanted TO prove by
Assistant Engineer Bennett, and that was
that there was conspiracy to injure the
Commander; and unless certain letters that
witness had written were produced he could
not gain the necessary information
The Court ruled that his private CORE
spondence would have full protection. Mr..
cboate made several appeals, but to no pur-
pose He was told that ifhe could produce
such letters be wonld be allowed to cross
examine the witness in relation to them.
Ensign q. W. Kline said he knew Of ten
and twelve men TO be chained in pairs and
made to march on the quarterback for hours.
He said the Commander seldom if ever in
vestigsted complaints made by the officers.
He said be was friendly, not hostile, to the
Commander, but was not grateful for the
treatment he received from him.

Taxation ofLoans.

HARRIsaURG. March 12-Thirteen cases,
involving the taxation of loans for 1856,
1887, lsss and lss9, we're to day decided by
the Dauphin County Court in favor of the
Commonwealth. The cases are similar in
principle to those recently decided BY the
United States Supreme Court against the
city of Chester and railway corporation.
The amount involved in all the cases
which have been appealed to the courts COW
ering taxation Of loans is over sl.O0o,0O0
and the C1mm)nwealth officers indulge
the hope that the opinion ofihe United States
Supreme Court is satfi ;iently Comprehensive
to enable the recovery ofthe entire sum in

GEORGE W. CHILDs has finished his
literary work on his book giving his per-
sonsl memoirs Of General Grant. Mr..
Childs says it is remarkable how General
Grant has grown in the public heart
since his death, and be quotes Mr.. Blaine
as saying that the admiration in which
Grants memory is held abroad stamps
him as the greatest Of American citizens
Of his time. Such testimonial from
Mr.. Blaine will carry great weight, for no
man studies closer the tastes and senti-
ments of the people with whom he min
giles than does Mr.. Blaine. But whoever
cares to study the sentiments Of the peo-
pie will find that General Grants mem
ory is safe both at home and abroai.

srxAron sHKrxkS in an interview ex-
presses the opinion that before the next
census apportionment Congress will pass
a bin rendering Congressional districts
continuous between census appor'ion-
menis. The Senator's plan would be 10
block fl the Congressional districts as
nearly as possible in squares having an
equal number Of inhabitants without re-
gard to county or township lines tne
only limitation being that voting pre-
cin,.ts shall not be divided. Such a plan
II adopsed would worry the gerryman-
derers. whose principal object is to scatter
a Congressional district over as much
disiointed territory as possible, without
regard TO the convenience Of voters. IL
would also enable each Congressman 70
represent distinct section Of the state
and understand the wants of his constit-
uents regarding legislation.
