1T WAS A "JBRsg Y TREAT"

President Delaware Clark, of the Poor
Trustees, Never Meant Anything Else
But That All Should Pay Their Own
Expenses.
There has been some strong animadyer-
sion upon president of the Trustees of the
Poor, Delaware Clark, in regard to his in
vitation, at the July meeting of the board,
to the Levy Court Commissioners TO Join
the Poor Trustees in holiday trip for a
day or two down the bay fishing and for a
clam-bake. 1t has been noised about that
the costs of the trip would be charged to
the trustees or some public account.
President Clark is very indignant over
the matter. To reporter OF The GAZETTE
Saturday morning, he said:
II had no idea, from the very first, of
doing anything but expecting each guest
to pay his own expences. LII fact, it was
to be Jersey treat. Talking with sew
eral of themembers of the committee ap-
pointed to make arrangements, we all
understood at the time that each indi-
vidual should pay his own way. To sup
pose that for moment would tolerate
such an idea as charging the expense to
the county, l take as not very fiattering to
me. l would never allow such thing for
moment And ! would thank you to
make my position clear before the public,
unequivocally So"

MuRRA1NE IN CHESTER COUNT.


WEST CHESTER, PA, Aug. Ian un-
known disease has broken out among the
cattle of Evan Baker. West Marlborough
township Chester county.
All are down and five or six sheep died
suddenly. State Veterinary Bridge is ex-
pected here to-day.
1t is thought to be murraine, fatal dis
ease. which swept over this country 40
years ago.
Veterinary Surgeon Ewes of this city
says he is not alarmed at all about the
report.
Murrain, he continues, is not dis
ease at all. Veterinary science of the
present day does net recognize the term
at all. II means plague, or pest or
any kind OF contagious disease among
cattle.
DIR. Ewes thinks the Chester county
outbreak may have some relationship to
the Texas fever trouble at Newark, but
he can form no idea as he has no def.
mite facts in hand at this moment. OF
course there may be some other contag.
ious disease existing. At any rate, the
fact exists that several cattle have died.
DIR. Ewes expressed himself as believing
there is no need Of fear among New
Castle county farmers. But they should
continue to use all proper precautions
as they are doing in connection with
Texas fever.
1t is plain, he added, that the West
Chester people did not know to diagnose
the disease, or they would not have
used the perplexing term, murrain,
which is an old Biblical word, with no
modern scientific or exact meaning.
They have called in state Veterinarian
Bridges. He will make statement as
early as possible. An exact diagnosis
will be made from the carcases of the
dead animals, and the results will be
published.

D1sCoRD AMONG THE ORGANS

The goldbug organs in North Caro-
lima are badly out of tune. We append
a few ''notes" from three of the leaders
in the orchestra, and the discord is
quite trying to nervous people. On the
26th the Charlotte Observer said:
1.-THE signs undoubtedly go to show
that the business of the country is be-
ing resumed and that a reasonable de-
gree of prosperity is not far off. The
South was less hurt by the panic, and
is doing more to help start things in
motion again, than any other section
Of the country. Perhaps it's because
we've been on the journey of life a long
time in company with poverty, and we
know how to get along with and coax
the trade, but, any way, whether the
times are good or bad, we get along
very much the same. The manner in
which the South is helping the country
to recover from the panic is by sending
In the cotton crop to be exported and
thus helping to offset drafts from
abroad. And somehow, it is hard to
say just how, but it appears to be a
fact, our cotton mills are starting I'D
first OF all those that have been closed.
While the crops ere a little short the
people are fighting for good prices, the
bank people don't look half SO glum as
they did a month ago., and taken all in
all, the world seems to be getting back
towards the same old wag it had on it
before the panic struck us. The coun-
try is not yet entirely out of the woods
but thingsdo look brighter and better"
On the goth the Wilmington Messen-
ger said:
THE Baltimore Sun is about as blind
and infatuated an organ of goldbuggery
as you can find outside Of New York
and Philadelphia. 1t used to be con

FURTHER EVIDENCE OF RE-
FORMN

Dun's RevieoU for the week ending
Oct. 21st reports 346 failures, which is
a falling off of AZ from the week be-
fore, but is still above the average for
the past three months and nearly
double those of the corresponding week
last year. Many large concerns, such
as banks and iron works, are included.
At the present rate all the business
concerns in the country will burst wide
open in a few years at most, and then
the reform we have heard much of but
hove never saw, will not be much ad-
vantage. If the present administration
started out to ruin the country it is a
bowling success, but if it intends to
give us reform it has been and will be
a failure.

ALL1ANCRMEN AT THE FAIR.

We have already mentioned several
Alliancemen who had creditable ex-
hibits at the recent State Fair. We
hope we may not overlook any of them,
and would be glad to hear from any
one who may have been forgotten. Mr..
A. L. Swinson, of Goldsboro, had three
varieties of Italian bees in improved
hives on the Fair grounds. Bro. Swim
son is an authority on the subject of
bees, and has a fine stock on hand at
all times. Any one wishing to get a
start in the business would do well to
correspond with him.

H WORLD v

So said Galileo and so says every one
except John Jasper and those who are
like unto him. We are forcibly struck
with this in reading the late address of
Mr.. Justice Brown, of the Supreme
Court of the United States. He advo-
Gates city ownership Of gas, water,
electric lighting and street cars, and
ownership by the postofice of the tele-
graph and telephone. He says that
government ownership of railroads is
also bound to come if those corpora
tions do not in good faith accept State
control through commissioners and
statutes. He plainly intimates that if
these gigantic corporations persist, as
they have done in some States, in sim
ply adding the Railroad Commissioners
to their assets, that an indignant peo-
pie will demand and force government
ownership. The breaking up of colos
sal estates, prohibiting more than one
million dollars passing to any one per
son by will Or gift, is urged.
The Western Union Telegraph Co
lately declared a dividend of 81, 200, 900.
1t also has a reserve fund of $15, OOO,-
900. AS, by the report made to Con
gress, the entire plant" of the com,
pan! could be replaced with SIS, OOO,-
600 and the stockholders have put far
less than that in it, it may be cen how
great is the extortion practiced on the
public daily and hourly by such a sys-
tenn. The postofice should have tele
graph Or telephone service to every
postofice in the country and the num-
Der of postofices in the country dis
tricts should be doubled too. But with
such a reserve to influence the press
and Congress, how shall the people
ever get their rights9
