SOME of the Republican organs, in speak

the need of instruction on political history.
Thus the Philadelphia Inquirer, glorffying the

ment, which made Pattison Governor" II the
Independent movement of 1882 had voted di-
rectly for Pattison it might have claimed to
make him Governor; but as Pattison's plurality
was 1000 more than the entire Independent
vote for Stewart, assertions of that sort are
subject to revision.

practically drafting new tariff bill upon the
ruins of the Mckinley bill.

| WASHINGTON, June 15.-I am not particu-

the case In the last Congress. suppose it might
be said to be legitimate party warfare for the
Senate to mutlate beyond recognition tariff

but for Republican Senate TO murder bill
originated and passed by Republican House,
as the Mckinley bill has been murdered by the
Senate, is something without precedent. A
Democratic Senate would hardly have done
more.
This action of the Senate is the gross internal
scandal of the time in the Republican party.

Outlines Of Jewish History is issued by the
Jewish Publication Society of America. The
writer is Lady Magnus. The history begins
with the Jews IN Babylon. That portion which
is covered by the Old Testament records and
the books of the Aprenypher is recounted; the
reign of Herod has chapter; the war with
Rome and the destruction of Jerusalem is de.
scribed. The Roman, and Christian and Mo.
hamedan persecution are outlined; the Jews in
Spain, in Central Europe during the Middle
Ages and in England is set under the head of
Darkness" The present age is Dawn"
Emma Lazarus is the last name mentioned.
The idea is anexcellent one, though Dean Mil
man had already conceived 1t, and executed it.
The idea is carried out, unfortunately, not in
the historical, but in the partisan spirit Two
paragraphs. and these written in a narrow
temper, are all that this historian can spare for
the supreme saint and hero OF the Jewish race,
the Prophet Of ofNazarath.

4 Warning From Great Britain Impels the

4 Warning From Great Britain Impels the
Agricultural Department. to Extirpate the
Disease.
NEW YORK, June 13.-The stringent
measures adopted by the Secretary of
Agriculture to stamp out the virulent
disease of pleuro-pneumonia in cattle
from its last stronghold in the counties
Of Kings and Queens on Long Island
has created tremendous excitement and
reused the dairymen into an attitude of
armed rebellion.
1t is understood that Secretary Rusk
recently received private intimation
that unless this disease should be eff
fectively extirpated severe quaran-
tine would be proclaimed by England
against the importation of Ameri-
can cattle. This would paralyze one
OF the most important branches of
American industry for the time being
and result in incalcu1able loss to West
ern cattle raisers. Last week. Secretary
Kusk spent two days in New York and
theoretically impressed upon his sub
ordinate officers, Mr.. w. Judson Smith,
Government agent for the Eastern
States, and DIR. A. K. Robertson, chief
inspector for the State of New York,
the urgent necessity of gathering in and
killing all cattle diseased or exposed.
A great raid was therefore organized
and executed by the two at the head Of
large posse of the bureau employees.
Dairymen were found pre- pared for Wig
orous resistance. They launched paving
stones, brickbats and other missiles upon
the invaders, hand to hand encounters
took place and in some instances pistols
were drawn. Some of the herds were so
strongly defended that the bureau
forces were unable to capture them.
Next day the headquarters of the
bureau in Brooklyn were in state OF
siege. Dairymen and dairywomen
joined in a chorus of execration and de-
nunciation. Some had obtained writs
of replevin which were practically use
less, because all the captured cattle
had been Immediately slaughtered.
Meantime DR.. Robertson and Special
Agent Smith had sought peace and i'm
munity in New York City and only re-
turned Wednesday morning. 1t is
understood that there will be other
raids and that Secretary Rusk will not
modify the stringency of his measures
until this last lurking place of pleuro-
pneumonia be effectually conquered and
cleanSed

THE CROSS MURDER.

Evidence Going to Show the Guilt of the
Accused on Trial at Paris, Texas.
PARIS, Tex, June 13.-When court
met yesterday morning the cross-ex-
animation of Herbert Tonney, the prin-
cipal witness for the Government in the
Cross murder case, was begun, and for
four hours he was subjected to the most
searching questions, but to little pur-
pose; his statement remained substanti-
ally unchanged.
Keen Halves was then placed on the
stand. He was one of the lawmakers
camped at Wild Horse lake. Cross and
party arrived there about nine o'clock
on the night of July 25, 1888. They tied
their horses and lay down to rest, in
tending to remain only an hour or two.
After talking awhile he went to the
tent and went to sleep. He was
awakened by comm otion and went
out. Sam Robinson and number of
men were there and told Cross and his
men to walk out in line. They did so,
when they were told to hold up their
hands. Cross only partially raised his
when Robinson told him to raise them
higher. He then told Hubbard he had
to die and shot him. There was a
stampede and one man ran to the lake
and one to the tent. A party of Robin
sons men followed the man to the lake.
In the meantime Tonney was shot
Witness did not see Sheriff Cross when
he was shot. Wilcox was brought out
of the tent and shot. None of the Cross
party shot unless it was Eaton
the man who went to the lake. There
were fourteen in the attacking party.
He identified O. G. Cook, j. i. Chamber
lain, Sam Robinson, c. C. Cook, John
Jackson, Cyrus Freez, George Thomas,
Sam Miller, John Lawrence and Will
liam Smith. The others in the party
he did not know. A. NJ. Donald, James
Wrigley, j. w. Calvert, John Ritter,
William O'Connor and Smith Grubbs
were not there.
DIR. r. f. Furness, who dressed Ton
ney's wounds the next day, said he
could not probe his wound, which was
in the shoulder, until his arm was
raised and gave it as his opinion that
his arm was raised when he was shot.

It is proper to say that the gentleman
who made the following statement had
not the most remote idea that it would
ever be printed:
''Two-thirds of the prescriptions given
by physicians in this age of the world
are as harmless as bubbles. declare
that have to laugh at many of them.
The doctors are not to blame. On the
contrary, they are to be commended.
When a doctor is called the patient ex-
poets, of course, that he is going to be
treated. If the doctor doesn't dose him
he thinks the doctor doesn't understand
his business and discharges him and
gets one who will. The doctor of to-
day knows this and he gives the alleged
patient something that will not hurt
him. This is especially true of women.
1 know of but one doctor of my &C
quaintance who will not prescribe if he
thinks the patient is not sick.
''There are some patients who always
want to know what the physician is
giving. This is piece of imperti-
hence. If patient hasn't enough con-
fdence in his physician to take what
the physician gives he shouldn't send
for physician. OF course no doctor of
any spunk will crafty such request.
These patients then fall back on the
druggist and try to get him to tell. I
have had good deal of amusement with
| some of this class of people. / wrote
out lingo once which didn't mean any
thing, which contained words that are
not in any language, and gave it to the
man who was SO anxious. He looked at
it and said he was satisfied. That he
only wanted to let his doctor know that
he could find out what he was giving
him. He told the doctor very wisely
and the doctor and had a good laugh
over it.'-Chicago Tribune.
