rules and regulations to prevent the intro
duction Of contagious diseases Into the
United States.
The clear purpose Of the act Is to supply
through the Consular system Information
ns to the progress OF pcstilence abroad; and
to make the Marine Hospital service tho In
termediary between the representatives OF
tho United States abroad and the State
quarantincs. Tho purpose Of the act is not
to supcrsede or interfere with the local
quarantine systems In any manner.
Tho Attorney-Gcneral In our opinion. has
put altogether too broad construction
upon the provisions OF the law as 1t stands;
but the most important defect In the whole
proceeding is found in tho circumstance
that the President. in his turn. has put al
together too broad construction on tho
law as IL Is stated by Mr.. MILLER.
Even according to the Attorney-Gener
Interpolation of the statute. the Presidents
power would only extend to the quarantine
ing OF vessels coming from "any foreign
port or country Thcrc any contagious or
infcciious disease erists."
But what tho President orders Is the
Quarantining for twenty days OF vessels
from any foreign port carrying irnmi-
grants" This Is without reference to the
existence Of tho cholera Mt tho port from
which the vessel bringing immigrants has
sailed. Tho prohibition rs 1t stands applies
equally to ships bringing immigrants from
Hamburg to New York. to ships bringing
immigrants from Halifax to Boston. and to
ships bringing immigrants from Yokohama
to San Francisco.
We believe that the result which the
Presidents order seeks to attain, namely.
the stoppage Of immigration whilo the
cholera menaces this country. is eminently
desirable. We ulso believe that the motive
inspiring the Presidents course Ia credit
able and patriotic. But he has made tho
great mistake of attempting to accomplish
desirable thing by indirect and even
doubtful methods. when 1t was plainly
within his power to call Congress together
In extra session and to procure within ten
days unquestionable and indisputable au-
thority to suspend immigration.

1t has been impossible to procure the
statistics OF cholera in Russia. Hardly eny-
thing beyond the fact Of its existence there
was known to the outside world until well
along in last month. We knew that it
struck Baku. on the west coast OF the
Caspian. about the beginning Of July. but
we got no information about its rapid prog
ress northward and westward during that
month. or OF it's ravages In the thlckly popu-
lated regions through which it advanced.
The Government did not permit the news
about 1t to be sent abroad: dispatches
about it could not he transmitted to
foreign countries, and but very little
was said in the papers OF st. Petersburg.
So far as the cholera Is concerned. the GEN.
sorship was as vigorously applied to the
press, the telegraph and the mail as 1t Is
applied in the case Of many other things Of
interest to mankind.
The first knowledge that we got Of
the seriousness OF Its ravages in west
ern Russia was when we were informed
that the Government had prohibited the
holding OF the great annual fair at Mini
Novgorod on account OF it. That fact was
full OF significance to all the world. Dur
furnished with some cholera reports
and statistics from st. Petersburg. but.
while indicating very heavy mortality
there. they have been untrustwor-
thy and unsatisfactory. From Russia
at large we have had no returns
from which any well-assured inference can
be drawn. BY colating such figures as
have been given out. and by studying such
statements as have been made in the Lon
don Lancet. we judge that in ST. Peters,
burg and other cities OF western Russia
more than one hundred thousand people
have fallen victims to the cholera during
tho past two months. We cannot even make
guess as to how many more have fallen
in the vast region between the Caucasus
Mountains and the Baltic provinces. 1t
will probably be years before We get credi-
BILE statistics of the Russian mortality by
the Asiatlc cholera in 1892. 1t may be
doubted whether such statistics will ever
be obtained.
1t must be remembered that the plague
OF cholera in Russia was preceded by an
epidemic OF typhus fever. or hunger
fever" and that this again was preceded by
an epidemic OF the influenza or grip. All
these destructive plaques have visited the
Cars empire since the spring OF last year.
and each OF them has swept away his sub
jects In numbers that we havo no means OF
computing If there were any way of OBJ
tanning the facts. the world might be as.
founded by learning that far more than a
million Russian lives have been lost within
two years by these three infectious and
grievous diseases.

Tho Ground Clear for the Great Fight.

The condition OF labor in England at this
period Is far from hopeful. Even in the best
times and the most prosperous seasons the
wages Of the laborers in every department
of industry are much less than here. and in
many great industries they cannot be re-
duced in times Of business depression with
out producing actual distress among the
workers. The present Is such time. and
therefore the labor situation In England
affords occasion fer much anxiety.
With us. happily. the condition OF industry
Ia totally different. Wages. rs a whole arc
high, and the workers are generally con-
tent with them. so far as men arc ever
content with what is attanable. The great
strikes OF this summer have rather been
demonstrations in behalf OF labor union
ism than tho uprisings Of laborers
struggling against reductions OF wages
of serious consequence to them. Mr..
OATES. the Chairman OF tho Congress COM
mittee which investigated the causes OF the
Homestead riots. tells us in the last North
American Repie7c that the lowest wages paid
there, the wages Of the common laborer,
were IA cents an hour. and that they rose
to $3.50 month as the highest for tho
bklllou luDOitg, luuJoiiVy VI tho 6hlllcu
laburers receiving 5000 and less"
The wages OF the workmen concerned In
the great building trades strike in this city
were not so largo. because Homestead seems
to have been the paradise OF workmen. but
they were high, and there was no dissatis-
faction with them to produce the strike.
The men went out on sympathy and for the
purpose Of demonstrating the power and
enforcing the discipline OF labor unions. not
merely to get higher wages
The strike Of the swtchmen at Buffalo
was also sympathetic in most part. 1t be-
gan with few and extended to many who
| simply joined in order TO support them.
For tho sort OF labor performed by the
switchmen tho wages paid were good.
| They were far better than such labor re-
ceives anywhere elso outside OF this coun-
try. and as high as skilled labor gets in

ALL ABOUT HEE

How to Hare the Beautiful and the Use
full Go Together.
Below will be found the substance of
n paper written by Cassius NJ. Clay, of
Kentucky, for the meeting of the Amer
lean Southdown association. lately held
in Chicago.
They require high. well-drained soils
and always green food. In cold
weather. when snow and stor. prevail,
one-half pint of corn a day is proper.
Frozen vegetation is very unwholesome
to sheep.
Cattle and sheep do best together.
The cattle preceding the sheep bite
the grass short enough for the sheep,
which eat none but fine %succulent grass.
Prime. first-rate sheep ann be
made without variety of herbs. The
small and numerous weeds left by cat
tie are eagerly sought for by sheep.
A two or three-year-old ram is the
best. and no w should be bred under
yearlings past.
Wool growing on valuable land is a
poor business. After increasing my
wool from two and Il half to six and a
MALT pounds, ! found that as a factor of
price it was n mistake to regard weight
of fleece in selecting my rams. What
we want on Southdowns is mutton.
What we want is short. fine, close wool
TO protect the sheep against rains and
cold-nothing more. The finer the
wool the finer the mutton.
When not interrupted by flies, sheep
feed in lines like an army ready for
action. The leaders move off. and the
remainder fall into line right and left.
When the leader changes front or di-
rection the wings follow up W. eaten
surfaces or hasten to form the new
line losing grass and time. So the
smaller the flock the better are the
sheep for these reasons. In very large
flocks the extremes of the wings are in
evitably mean sheep. This is too plain
for argument. raise these fine sheep
only for breeders: and getters of NUT
tons sheep by crossing on scrubs or mon
grcls are left TO men Of less experience
or taste for the beautiful. But here
the beautiful and the useful march to-
pether.
