EngIand's Bid.

BRUSSELS, Nov. 28.-M. de Roths-
child's proposals were submitted to the
conference this afternoon. They cover
eleven printed octave pages. NJ. de
Rothschild argues at length that hi.
meta!ism in Great Britain is absolutely
impossible, and suggests that the ques-
ton arises whether it is not possible to
extend the usesof silver generally. and
by this means assist in checking fur
ther fall in values. M. de Rothschild
said he did not claim that his proposals
would prove a final solution Of the
question, but he did claim that they
would prove palliative. Summed up
his proposals are that America should
continue her present purchase of silver
and the European powers should con.
tinue to buy an amount equal TO G5,.
100000 year Tor five years at43d. ii
silver should rise above that price the
purchases are to be Immediately sus.
pended. 1t is expected that the British
delegates will support this plan in the
interest of the Indian currency.

Hydrophobia

About four weeks ago the large New
fOundland dog, belonging to Geo.
Veail, showed signs of hydrophebia.
1t was first shown by his jumping onthe
other dogs in fit of mad fury "a
thing he had never done before. Geo.
had also seen him bite calf and a COW
which was tied up in tho barn.
The two other dogs went mad and
the three killed. The bitten calf died
and the COW was killed after her mad
ness was aScertained.
Other dogs in the neighborhoOd were
tied up and as they showed signs of
madness, were killed. Those belong.
ing to Jim Sherburn on the adjoining
farm were tied up and Monday morn
ing while Will GallOup, who was work.
ing for Mr.. Sherburn, was feeding the
dogs, one of them snapped at him and
bit his thumb. He thought little of it
until next morning when the dog was
gone. Investigation showed that he
had gnawed the strap and releasd him
self. He went from one house to an
other lighting every dog that he found
until he was killed by Mr.. GaSway the
next day.
Mr.. Galloup on learning that the dog
was mad, became alarmed about his
condition and started for Chicago,
Thursday evening for treatment at the
PaSteur Institute.
Wednesday evening Mr.. Veail went
out into his pasture to look at his
young horses when yearling colt with
ears back and jaws wide open ran for
him with all his might. Mr.. Veail had
a coil of planter wire in his hand and
seeing how useless it would be to run
prepared to strike the colt on the head
with the wire. His stroke was too late
however and the colt fastened his teeth
on the large muscles of Mr.. Veails
forearm. He ran from the field and
the colt did not follow him. The Ae sh
on his arm is bruised and sore but as
the teeth did not penetrate the clothing
he feels no uneasiness about the wound.
The colt was killed. 1t was raving
mad and had bit off great pieces of
flesh in his mad fury.
Let every deg in the country be tied
up. There is no telling how far the
madness has spread and the only safe
ty lies in keeping every canine tied up

COUNTY PRINTING.

About the funniest thing in pol
iticS we have ever seen was
the Monitors attempt last week to
hold the Alliance responsible
for the awarding of the county print
ing to the democratic paper. It's lu-
dicrouS position is more apparent
when attention is called to the fact
Lat the Monitor and its party are
alone responsible for the election of
John T. Stewart, whose vote makes
democratic control possible. Had the
republicans Staid by their candidate, J.
5. EpperSOn, and elected him, there
would have been an equilibrium upon
the board such as would have let the
printing to the lowest bidder as it did
last year. True, the result last year
proved disastrous to one republican
paper, but friend Campbell need not
have been quite so eager to put the re-
formers in a "hOle" and might have
knocked the perSimmOn with a bid no
lower than that on which he based
himself this year. Or, if they had seen
tit to have tipped the beam" in favor
of the Alliance candidate, Mr.. England,
last fall, the result would doubtless
have been equally as good. The Mont
tor has no one but its own party to
blame for this slip" 1t will perhaps
discover later, if it has not already,
that the republican squadron is only
"tail to the democratic kite. But,
really, the democratic party locked
off twenty-five per cent more than
the republican party ever did and al
though letting printing to the lowest
bidder sometimes works a hardship to
the printer, Gas it did to Stotler). it
saves money for the county taxpayers,
yet we do not believe the people are
averse to paying reasonable price for
the work.
Mr.. Heskett opposed the resolution
to let the printing to the lowest bidder
on the ground thatit would result in
forcing the price below a sum that
would Justify a fair price for labor, but
1t being carried and he being elected
upon that platform, he has faithfully
lived up to hisinstructiOns.
The Monitor is ina very poor atti-
tude to throw dirt in the eyes of the
Alliance on this matter. Like Samp-
son, of old, it has pulled the walls down
upon itself.

Mr.. Tupp, the financial officer of the
English Indian government accuses
the English government with being re-
sponsible for the failure of the Ameri-
can and French governments to remon-
etize silver, and by reason of this fall
ure, the imperial government is made
responsible for a grievOus and unjust
burden being placed upon its Indian
dependency in the shape of aheayy dis
count imposed by the crown upon In
dia's deprecated silver, in which cur
rency the latter is compelled to pay its
tribute to the former. Mr.. Tupp for
gets that England must collect its
tribute from America as well as India.
She does not care what dependency 1t
hurts so they all pay tribute. 1t is
passing strange how free Americans
will listlessly enslaye themselves to a
hated foreign enemy before they will
for swear allegiance to an internal pO-
litical party.
