FAMILY BEER.
Diseased Horses Slaughtered
and Sold as Such.
Prepared at an Abattoir at
Newton Creek, L. |.

Unsuccessful Attempt to Defeat the In
tent of the Law by Changing the Labels
and shipping the stuff Abroad-Seven-
ty-Fivo Tierces Seized and Turned Over
to the ofaI Dock.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The depart
ment Of agriculture makes the following
announcements:
The inspectors Of the bureau of animal
industry ON Long Island have unearth
an abattoir at Newton Creek, which tn V
found to be devoted entirely to The
slaughter of broken down, cripp td
horses. Many Of these horses were dis
eased and many of them affected WA
CHAMBERS. The inspectors thoroug Y
investigated the destination of the car
cases. 1t was found that most of the
meet was colned and put up for export
for family beef. The secretary OF agri-
culture was at once communicated with,
and he wired the inspectors at port of
shipment to stop such exports, if posi-
Bile, and to Immediately notify local
boards of health. The dealer having
learned Of this course, changed the label
and undertook TO ship the stuff abroad
as horse meat, under the impression that
he could t. us avoid the bureau in
spectors.
Secretary Rusk, however, did not pro-
pose to permit the intent of the law ,
be thus baked, and he was advised Mon
day that d. Robertson, the chief in
spector agent Of the bureau, seized t4e
entire lot Of seventy-fve tierces and
turned it over to the offal dock, this &C
ton being necessary to prevent the sh. D.
ment Of the meat ON the steamer Lepau
to, which sailed for Antwerp Monday
The inform ton on record III the bureau
of animal industry shows that this ne
farious industry has been carried on for
some time III a seml-seCret fashion, but
being diligently watched for some time
by the inspectors, they satisfied Secre-
tary Rusk that many horses in various
stages of dis use We're slaughtered aud
put up for the purpose indicated, and he
at once determined that he would use
all the power at his command to put q
stop at once and for all to the abomina-
BILE traffic.

SOME QUESTIONS
That M. Slaughter Wishes Answered by
Somebody.
To tho Tobacco Leaf-ohronicle.l

To tho Tobacco Leaf-ChTonIcle.l
desire to ask few questions for
the consideration of these persons
who favor Mr.. Cleveland as the next
Democratic presidential candidate,
including his one issue policy of
tariff reform, and would be glad to
have answers from yourself, or
others.
Question l. Suppose tariff reform
is made the only issue in the next
national campaign by the Demo-
cratic party with Mr.. Cleveland as
candidate, and then suppose by
some chance he should be elected,
how could his administration expect
to accomplish any good in the line of
tariff reform with Republican Sem
ate united on the Mckinley bill and
protection generally?
We know that no law can be
made, or changed, without the sane.
don of both houses. We know that
the Senate is Republican, and will
probably remain so for some years to
come, and we also know that this
Senate will most probably seek to
defeat any Democratic tariff reform
measure passed by the House.
Question 2. Then under these cir
cumstances how much good can be
accomplished under a tariff reform
policy alone?
Question 3. Judging from Mr..
Cleveland's expressed views, and his
past record, would he not veto any
free silver bill that might be passed
by Congress (for the Senate, though
Republican, is in favor of free silver
or any other measure of Importance
that would increase the currency of
The country sufficiently to supply all
demands Of trade?
Question 4. Is not Mr.. CIeveland's
ideas strictly in accord with Wall
street, and other monied centers, on
the money question, and is he not
the most favored candidate of these
menied powers on the Democratic
side of politics?
Question 5. With only the one
issue policy (of tariff reform) and a
Republican Senate to interfere with
and defeat that, how can the masses
Of the people expect any benefits
nom Cleveland administration, ex-
cept, perhaps, only politicians and
office seekers, who, of course, will be
favored by general distribution of
official positions
Question 6. With manufacturers
united against him because of his tar
if views with free silver men unit
ed against him because of his oppOsi-
ton to silver, and with almost the
entire Alliance and other labor or
CARNATIONS against him because of
his single gold standard ideas and
his oppo5ition to any increase of the
currency generally, how can Mr..
Cleveland expect to be elected, even
if he is nominated?
These are all pertinent questions,
connected closely with live issues,
that it might be well for Democrats
to duly consider, and if they can be
satisfactorily answered in the right
way, myself and many others would
De much pleased to know.
Yours truly, G. II. S.
