The great Geographic cutoff yesterday is the
prominent feature of current history. Yester-
day blizzard was small sized compared with the
famous one Of 1883, but to the overhead wires it
was almost as deadly with its sleet as the latter
with its snow. Nature every now and then rein
forces public sentiment against overhead wires
in citiesby impressing upon the companies main
tanning them the expensiveness of system so
exposed to the freaks Of the weather. When
the companies are once convinced that these
wires are expensive, they will much more
readily be brought to perceive that they are
disiguring and dangerous and deserve to be
removed and buried '..

IL New York's democratic legislature should
set the example for other northern democratic
states in the matter Of appropriations for the
world fair, the elections bill will knock the
achievements Of Christopher Columbus ninety
nine miles northwest Of nowhere. At the same
time the Juggling Of the worlds fair into the
political squabble is narrow and unpatriotic.

Tubercular disease Is often communicated BY
using the meat or milk Of tuberculous cows.
Among stall-fed dairy kline from 20 to 80 per
cent, say the New York board of health, are
sometimes found to be affected. Later dis
coveries confirm this report. The Connecticut
commissioners on the diseases of domesticated
animals have declared that 1.-THE flesh of tuber-
culous animals is dangerous as food" and that
the milk Of such animals is unsafe for food
even for swine poultry" But neither in
New York nor Connecticut. nor vet in Phila-
delphia, where il is admitted tuberculous cows
by scores mingle with the dairy herds, have
any steps been taken, so far as is known, to
prevent the sale of food 80 infected In Massa-
chusetts infected herds in the vicinity Of Bos-
ton have been inspected by state officers and
diseased cows have been killed. The Boston
board Of health have collected some statistics
and Drs. Ernst and Peters of the Massachusetts
Society for the Promotion of Agriculture
are conducting inquiries and experiments on
the society's farm at Mattapan. They are also
extending their researches throughout the
country and it is hoped that the results will
afford valuable basis for legislation. In the
light Of DIR. Koch's experiments with human
tuberculosis it is somewhat remarkable that so
little is being done in tracing the disease to its
frequent and undoubted source in the food and
milk supply. These sources of life and causes
Of death should be everywhere subject to local
and most careful inspection and to that end
scientific investigation should be made in all
parts of the country. If there are at any
points lack Of the necessary laws or municipal
regulations they should be forthwith provided.
The preservation of human life from such an
insidious and powerful foe is an imperative OBJ
legation upon government.

The biennial changes in the Senate Of the
United States are fast making. During last
week the Legislatures of New Hampshire. Con-
necticut, New York. Pennsylvania, Indiana,
Colorado, Oregon, Washington and North Da-
kota, in the north, and Missouri, Arkansas and
North Carolina, in the south. have acted. In
Hll these states the political parties have held
what they had before, except in New York,
where a democrat succeeds republican. For
the most part the old member was reelected,
the exceptions being the choice of DIR. CALM
ger in New Hampshire in place of Mr.. Blair,
and that Of Mr.. Hansbrough in North Dakota
instead OF Mr.. Pierce. Illinois, Kansas and
South Dakota are still in the agouies of a daily
ballot with chances about even for the two
parties in Illinois and for the republicans and
the coalition Of independents and democrats In
the other states. Wisconsin will choose ex-Sec-
rotary Villas next week. while Florida will not
elect democratic successor to Mr., Call until
April The points of interest in the state legis-
latures yet TO act are the great fight of the Far
mers' Alliance against Mr.. Ingalls, in Kansas
and the peculiar state Of affairs in Illinois,
where the democrats have one plurality over
the republicans and the Farmers Mutual Bene-
fit Association have three members who vote
Gen Palmer nor ex-senator Oglesby can COM
mand farmers votes after a prolonged struggle
il would seem to be necessary to drop the NOM
inee and support either a regular party man
agreeable to the F.M.BA. or farmers man
who would receive the support of the third
party. The result cannot be foretold. Lump
ing the result Of the new senatorial elections,
as far as they have been held, it appears that
the democrats have gained in New York, where
at the moment after election last fall it was
not clear who had won, and lost on their calcu-
lation in New Hampshire by the action of the
clerk in the organization of the legislature in
admitting the If entitled mostly republican,
members and emitting the ''class town"
(mostly democratic) members. The democrats
have won in Wisconsin. II they win in Illinois
and the Alliance wins in Kansas the present re-
publican majority of fourteen, based on an
original majority of two two years ago and the
admission of the six new states, will be decreased
to one Of six.
