A COMPROMISE INTII.rED.

The Memphis Appeal Avalanche has
the following to say upon the situation
in Washington:
Notwithstanding the fact that three
ffths OF the members of the United
States Senate are in favor of the repeal
of the Sherman law according to the
terms OF the Wilson bill, it is given out
that compromise will be forced by the
silver minority. The Senate is so re-
luctant to adopt cloture in any form, as
overturning Senatorial precedent, that
rather than resort TO this parliamentary
expedient for facilitating, the advocates
of repeal would rather compromise than
listen forever to Stewart and PETER.
The people certainly do not want a
compromise. They want the Sherman
bill repealed. The vote in the popular
branch Of Congress demonstrated this.
The country has, since the passage OF
the Wilson bill, begun to experience the
blessing of returning confidence. Ithas
manifested in various Ways it's satisfac.
ton with the House. In the Senate tie
opponents of repeal are not numerically
formidable, yet they may be able to talk
repeal to death, by virtue of the privil.
eye OF unlimited palaver which is per.
mitted in the Senate. The question of
turb the conscience OF the silver million
aires who have adorned their persons
with the Senatorial toga, and the suffer
ings OF the count y at large do not worry
them particle.
The maintenance OF the governmental
market for the product OF their mines is
everything to them
Every hour that the Sherman law re-
mains upon the statute books marks an
increase in the profits of the silver
miners. 1t is rather an easy way of
making money for ones friends to stand
in the Senate blocking legislation in
the easy fashion which the Senate rules
provide.
Cloture should never be enforced in
the Senate, for the reason that members
of that body. especially should be sensi.
BILE OF their obligations to the country
and should be above pettitogging. Yet
it Is little rough on the people, that
wheE they are yearning for the word of
cheer from the Senate chamber, their
ears are greeted only with the steady
tumble of Stewards voice az he ex.
pounds and re-expounds, in endless

IMPORTED SMALLPOX.
Immigrants Spread the Disease in
Michigan.

LANSING, Mich, Jan. 24.-Secretary
Baker, of the state board of health, has
just been notified of eight cases of
smallpox IN Pittsfeld township. Wash
tenaw county. not far from Ann
Arbor. The victims are all in
the family of Henry Schneider.
They contracted the disease from
immigrants by the name of JAEGER,
who arrived in New York Nov. % on
the infected steamer Saale. They had
certificates from the New York officials,
which were presented at Ann ArbOr
about three days later. Several MEM
bers of the Jacer family have since
broken out with variolOid, and from the
Schneiders contracted what is known
as continent smallpox. Two OF the
four cases in that family may prove
fatal.
CHICAGO. Jan. 24.-Nathaniel Ora

of legislation on this subject in Maine.
New Hampshire, Massachusetts, apd
Rhode Island, and have referred to the
published admissions as to the great
prevalence OF the disease in the dairy
herds from which the milk supply OF
Philadelphia is taken. 1t is well known
that law designed to prevent the sale
of milk from tuberculOus herds in this
state was passed nearly year ago, and
that the reports of veterinarians indi-
cate the existence of many infected
herds in the region from which
milk is brought to this city. A
few weeks ago what was supposed
to be choice herd of cows on dairy
farm in Westminster county was by ac-
cident found to be very badly diseased,
and the animals were killed. The milk
had been sold at very high price to
wealthy residents Of this city, but it was
so thoroughly infected that guinea pigs
to which it was given died of tubercuio-
sis. 1t has been said that the state Off
GERS who are empowered and directed
to enforce this new law are restrained
by the inadequaey of the sum apprO-
priated. 1t this be the cause Of their
failure to take action, they should ap-
peal at once to the legislature for the
money that is needed. There can be no
good excuse for further delay.
