the state authorities, to apply them. That
there is need of doing 80, the case cited is
full evidence. 1t would, it is true, be a vast
undertaking to make a scientific test of
every COW whose milk Is put upon the mar
ket SO 1t is to vaccinate all the people for
the prevention of smallpox, and to main
tain rigid quarantine against Asiatic chol.
era Yet these latter are done effectively
and with little trouble. But tuberculosis is
disease incomparaby more destructive
than these, and there is every reason to be-
lieve that it is in great measure dissent
mated in milk from infected cattle. 1t
would be paradoxical If we were to con-
tinue to secure immunity from one disease
through the virus Of the COW, and at the
same time to infect ourselves with worse
disease through the milk of the same ami
NAL. And it would be anomalous to put
forth every effort against the invasion of
foreign plague, and at the same time to let
a deadlier domestic plague extend its raw
ages unchecked"
The matter of dealing with the dis
ease in this state will unquestionably
be the subject of discussion in the legis-
lature at the approaching session which
will, we trust, end in the enactment Of
law guarding the public health in this
respect, and providing means for the
restriction of the disease within the
narrowest possible limits. What the
Tribune has said is worthy of very Sc
rious consideration by the law. makers.
1t points straight to the necessity for
effective legislative action.

A Voice from Chicago.

THE following, from the editorial col
umns of the Chicago Post of September
7, is worthy of reproduction. The Post
is a leading democratic paper in Chi
cago, but its editor evidently knows
something of Vermont republicans:
The republicans have good reason to be
proud of their Vermont victory. The party
which can always enroll this staunch fear
less little state among its supporters is not
without hope in the world. Has any COM
monwealth in the country, dimensions and
population considered, ever held such
dignifed and consistently patriotic place in
the union of the states as Vermont? Some.
thing of the rugged but not unkind nature
of her many hills seems to enter into the
composition of her men. They are resolute,
gree not equaled by any other Yankees.
Vermont lawyers are among the best. Yer
mont statesmen are far-seeing, prudent and
humane. Vermont editors are capable and
conscientious, and her poets are not bad.
The civilizing influence Of the climate and
surroundings Is attested by the change
they make in the French Canadians, who
it is a matter of record-in Vermont cease
to be laggard and careless as to their bodily
cleanliness and blossom out as the rose
tree. Some of the best and most conspicu-
GUS men in the West are from the state Of
Ethan Allen. They make great pioneers.
The returns show that Mr. Woodbury., the
republican candidate has been elected over
George Washington Smith, the democratic
candidate, by 900 votes. This is the largest
majority since General Grant beat Horace
Greeley by 3o554 in 1872. The majority for
Harrison in 1888 was 2S,404 and in 1892 it
was q, 667 Vermont republicans should be

tuberculosis in Milk.

During the past few months the
WATCHMAN has directed public atten-
ton to authenticated cases of the
existence of tuberculosis among the
COWS in this state and to the peril to
the public health in the promiscuous
use of milk. In New York special at
tention has been given to the matter of
guarding the public against the use of
the milk of cows affected with tuber-
culosis. The disease is prevalent in
that state, and the ways and means of
its determination have been considered
by the lie islature. The Tribune is as
sured by DR.. Cyrus Edison that marked
improvement has been effected in the
quality of the city's milk supply in the
direction of freeing from the germs of
tuberculosis. In further consideration
of the subject, the Tribune says:
milk is one of the most generally used
articles of food; it is one in which noXious
bacteria greatly thrive; and is largely con-
sumed in raw state, or at any rate not
cooked sufficiently to sterilize 1t. Conse-
quently it is, as has too often been demon
strated in specific cases, particularly
ready medium for the dissemination of dis
ease. Almost concurrently with this an
pouncement, however, comes report that
tuberculosis has been found widely preva-
lent among the cattle in one of the largest
diaries in this part of the country, the prod
ucts of which are sent to all parts of the
world. The proprietors appear to have
been commercially prompt in applying
tests to the cattle, and in killing all found
to be infected. The lesson of the case is
unmstakable Inspection of the sources OF
milk supply should not wait for, but should
precede, suspicion of disease. 1t is not
enough for dairymen not TO know theiI
cows are unsound. They should know they
are sound. And this is altogether possible

Cows may be high bred, handsome, well

TENDER, and on such other occasions as
elections are held in Vermont. There
is, however, one deplorable exceptional
feature in yesterdays democratic de-
feat. The democratic candidate for
governor was George Washington
Smith of Smithfeld, on the Smith turn
pike. Appeal was made, unavailingly,
rs The carly returns from the seat of
strife show, to the family spirit of the
Smiths. This was, so to speak, the
trump democratic card in Vermont in
IA year when, as everybody understands,
collateral, unusual, and unforeseen side
issues arc the thing to break up and
overpower the republicans. Here was
a skilfu,ly chosen side issue, quite apart
from the tariff, the income tax, foreign
relations, or the sugar trust the issue
of Smith. But it didn't work. The
republican Smiths of Vermont held
aloot from their family namesake, even
with the patriotic prefix of George
Washington. They did not vote for
him, despite the determination of the
Smith family of the United States, in
convention not very long ago, to hold
together; and so it happens that, like
the light which failed, Candidate Smith,
with the whole democracy of Vermont
back of him, was snuffed out.--N. Y.

OLD ETHAN ALLEN became so hi
larious over Vermont's defiance OF
British tariff, with its /" odious income
tax" that he leaped down from his
pedestal at midnight of election day
and danced hornpipe in the vestibule
of the Capitol Mounting one of the
Bennington battle trophies he trundled
down the steps on to the upper terrace
with the purpose of firing a salute, but,
catching sight of Ceres smiling down
upon him from the summit of the dome,
he touched his cockade and invited her,
"in the name of the Great Jehovah
and the Continental Congress-" to de-
scend and dance jig with him. Lay
ing aside her sheaves, she complied; and
the click of marble feet made lively
music on the echoing concrete till the
first gray streaks of dawn warned them
of the dignity and responsibility of
their positions in these closing years OF
the nineteenth century. So they re-
turned, she to her lofty perch, he 10
his pedestal, agreeing to repeat their
midnight celebration when, two years
hence, the great battle, of which the
recent contest was but skirmish, is
fought and won. Sergeant-at- Arms
Phinney wondered who had removed
the relic of revolutionary strife from
its niche, but Ethan's marble counte
nance gave no sign of the midnight
revel. His gaze was rigidly fixed or
an imaginary British commandant, and
he was still laundering out his demand
for the surrender of Old I'll.
