over, the animals die and both they and
their lambs are lost, and the care and
feeding through the winter are labor and
money thrown away.
The disease. in question is one that is to
be prevented, if possible, by avoiding the
cause. Fragments of rye beard and chaff
from rye straw, used as litter, and of
which the sheep eat at night, lodge in the
eyes. At times the use of Timothy hay
will cause the disease, especially when
the racks are made so wide apart that the
sheep can thrust their heads through the
bars and among the stiff stems and SO
wound the eyes, and the seeds or chaf
can get into them. A good form of rack
to avoid this trouble is that shown in the
cut.
The front is made Of upright bars two
inches wide and three inches apart; the
back part is of boards set closely together
and sloping forward at the bottom, so
that the hay slides down and keeps close
to the bars in front where the sheep can
reach it. The trough for grain is at the
front. The rack is raised foot from the
ground on small posts six or eight feet
apart, so that young lambs cannot get
fast in any way. Two Of these racks may
be set together, connected behind SO as
to form double rack to be placed in the
middle of the shed, and others may be
built against the sides of the shed. Ii the
hay loft is over the sheep shed the hay
may be dropped into the racks with the
least possible labor Since l first used

trouble with infamed eyes in my sheep
in the winter.
A frequent cause of this disorder is
the alkaline dust Of the soil in the dry,
hot weather, and the intensely hot re-
Election of the heat rays of the sun.
Where this difficulty is experienced the
sheep may be saved by being inclosed
during the middle of the day for some
hours, and let out to feed in the even
ing and night. Another common cause
is the use of a too close and warm stable
from which the sheep are turned out
and exposed to cold storm of sleet or
rain or damp snow; or to dry snow and
bright sunshine, the reflection of which
is painful to the eyes and produces snow
blindness and inflammation.
After the causes are removed, Mr..
Stewart advises the following: Just re-
move the affected animals to a dark
place. Give light cooling antiseptio
medicine, hyposulphite of soda in dram
doses daily being very useful The eyes
should be examined for any foreign sub
stance, which should be removed, if
easily possible. by soft camels-hair

Fined for BATTERY.

In the Police Court yesterday, before
Justice Lockwood, John Goodwin ap-
peared for trial upon charge of battery
preferred by Frank Amesbury, the har.
ness cleaner at Dezell's livery stable. on
South Spring street. From the evidence
of the complainant it was shown that
Goodwin appeared at the stable on Mon
day last in slightly inebriated condi-
ton and evinced a tendency to "boss"
the employees in the barn. He entered
the harness room, where Amesbury was
at work and gave him some peremptory
instructions, to which the latter, how
ever, paid no attention. Goodwin re-
peated his orders in a louder tone of
voice. and when Amesbury replied to the
effect that he guessed he knew his own
business, Goodwin rushed at him and
belabored him in the face with his fists.
The Court adjudged the defendant guilty
and fined him $40.

A Heap of Contention.

Joseph Blow, teamster, was arrested
at his residence on Date street at noon
yesterday, by Officer Huston, who was
armed with a warrant issued by Justice
Lockwood, charging him with having
committed an assault. Mrs. Julia But
Ter, who resides near Blow, alleges that
for some lime past there have been fre-
quent MISUNDERSTANDING between them,
in consequence of nuisance which Blow
maintained in the shape of waste heap.
The odor which arose from this was, in
her opinion, the cause of the death OF
one of her children. and the sickness OF
the rest of her numerous family. AT
frequent intervals Mrs. Butler and Blow
exchanged compliments over this matter,
and yesterday the lady proceeded to again
give her neighbor piece of her mind on
the question; but she alleges that he
threw rocks at her, and drove her into
the house by this means.

The HHorne Market, Crv.

The "home market" has been dangled
for many years before the eyes of the
American people as the high tariff sun,
mum bOnum. But overproduction has
often swsmped the "home market" and
brought distress to protected industries,
whilst at the same time our purchases in
outside markets are larger than ever be
fore. Consumers haye been in turn sur
feited by competition and starved and
robbed by combination until the "home
market" argument has largely lost it's
attractiveness. Aud now it is proposed
to further csjole the people by buying a

nies to fetch the foreign markets to our

a widew named Mrs. Mary Brown, with
malicious mischief. He alleges that for
sixteen years past he has resided on San
Pedro street, eight of which had been
spent in peaceful security with his next
door neighbors, the Browns. A few days
ago, however, he was prompted, owing
to the attitude recently taken by Mrs.
Brown, to put up fence between the
two houses. He accordingly employed
a carpenter to perform the work, but be-

State.
Republican Democratic

The 1886 1899 Republican votes elected
l26 Republican congressman. This was
an average OF not quite 26,90C votes per
Congressman.
The 3,074, ,165 Democratic votes elected
only forty-seven Congressman. This
was an average of 65, 408 votes per Con-
gressman.
The net Republican plurality in these
fourteen Northern States of 312,234 is
represented in the present Congress bv q
net Republican majority of seventy-nine
members. Of these seventy nine extra
members the election of seventy-four is
due tC the remarkable gerrymandering
skill Of those most holy, ,Puritanical
politicians who stand aghast when thew
contemplate the suppression of the votes
OF their brethren as the South.
If the Democrats of these fourteen
Northern States are adequately and fairy
represented in the lower house of Con-
gress by AZ members, proportionate
representation OF the Republicans Of the
same States would allow them only 81
instead of their 126 memb bers.
If the Republicans are only fairly and
adequately represented by their l26
members, proportionate representation
OF the Democrats of these States would
give them ia members instead of AZ,
If q constituency of 26,900 Republican
voters is entitled to one representative,
what good and sufficient reason can these
monopolists of morality give for limiting
the representation of their Democratic
neighbors to one member for everv
65, ,408 voters?
If the will of the people of these four
teen Northern States were not stifed by
the most infamous gerrymandering, il
this will were permitted to tiud express
sion fairly and honestly in the lower
House of Congress, the Republicans
would have only 80 instead of 126 of the
173 members from the above States,
while the Democrats would have S3 in
stead of 4S. This would take 36 mem
bers from the Republican side of the
house and place them where they
honestly and fairly belong. Instead Of
having a majority of members in the
present House the Republicans would be
in minority Of 63 members.
While enjoying the products of this
cleancut steal our Republican brethren,
almost of one accord, s. and on the public
highways and on the street corners
with outstretched arms thanking God
that they are not as other
men are. Their representatives
in Congress propose to perpetuate this
steal by the passage of the Wickham or
Hoar bill to keep in full force for another
Congress the present Republican gerry
manders. They propose to retain the
present districts of Ohio, by which 26,-
600 Republican voters can elect e. mem-
ber, while it will require 70 POI Demo
cratic voters to do the same thing.
Is taxation without representation to
be the battle-cry in the North?
Misrepresentation of the will of the
people is their open end and aim. How
that end is to be attained they care not.
Behind the cloak of political Pharieaism
they will shield their infamy. Fearing
the voice of the people at the approach.

Law Students.
Last night Judge Wade's courtroom
was filed by law students, lawyers, re-
porters, bankers and the public generally
to hear Hon. s. M. White lecture on the
law of sales. The distinguished lawyer
took up the elementary science OF this
complicated and abstruse branch of the
law and dug to the very roots of the
subject. His analysis of the rationale
underlying the laws made to govern
sales of personal property was thorough,
and such lectures are of incalculable
benefit to the young students.

ALBANY, Aug. AIN conversation to-
night striker said:
The company for the past three weeks has
been laying eff some OF its oldest employees and
mostly members OF the knights of Labor.
When asked the reason for these dismissas they
were told they could not do their work properly.
One of the men had been Q mschinist IN the
ear shops for twenty years. another hal been
foreman for fourteen years and engineer for six.
The men said there was effort on part of the
company to break up their organization. This
view was STRENGTHENED when it was leared that
contract emssary was in Usica Saturday last,
when the convention of District Assembly 2s6
was held, and copied from the register OF the
hotel where they were stopping, the names Of
every delegate who was Central employe. These
men one by one during the past week were
dropped By the company. 1t was then decided
that it was time for them to assert their rights.
