veterinary Science and Hollow Horn.


All through civilization science has
driven out ignorance and superstition, and
in nothing more than in the care and
management of our live stock. As we
have adopted the improved breeds of Eu-
rope, we have welcomed the scientific
veterinarian to give us the most inteIli-
gent and skillful treatment, for we do not
like to pay big prices for pure-bred stock
unless we have an educated veterinarian
available. With all our veterinary col
leges and graduates we still have the
old "hoss" doctor and COW doctor. who
is preverbial for his ignorance and as
sumes the experienced professional air
while treating most cattle diseases as
hollow horn. But, alas! His occupation
is almost gone since dehornlng is the rule.
he oIeeds the suffering COW by himself,
plung on the end of her tongue, and bores

to add to the suffering of the beast.
These COW doctors do not read stool,
papers or veterinary jouranIs or they
would learn better; and strange. there
are farmers who employ them and
have faith in their ability to cure as
sometimes animals will get well in spite
OF their ignorant and inhuman treat

Business and the Wilson Bill.

when the Wilson bill II passed there will
b. a marked improvement in all classes Of
business. 90! News.
No there won't. Why business has
been scared out of its wits by the mere
anticipation Of the Wilson bill. The
" ilson law, as proposed, will suit
neither capital nor labor, 1t will stop
the wheels of trade and pauperize the
working people Of the country rs the
mere threat of 1t is rapidly doing now.
A great many workingmen permitted
themselves to be misled by dema-
gOgues and we're made made tO believe
that the Mckinley law was against
their interests because the manu-
facturer prospered under 1t. 1t has
required bitter lesson to teach them
that the prosperous manufacturer
makes the prosperous workingman and
that the bankrupt manufacturer and
the closed factory mean labor unem-
ployed, rent unpaid, and starving
families.
The truth is that the whole country
Ia suddenly awake to the fact that the
Mckinley law Is The most sensible
tariff law we have ever had, and II the
people today could vote on the ques-
tion It would remain undisturbed.
And II 1t could be undisturbed and the
country have some assurance on that
point there In little doubt that the
shadow Of bard times would be lifted
from the land. II we are to have a
ripping up Of the tariff every time a
president il elected great injustice
will he cone TO the manufacturing
interests OF the country and the
millions Of toilers depending on them.
The tariff should be let alone. No,
Mr.. News, there will be no "marked
improvement" in business il the

Farmera' protesta.

All through tho east farmers are

Of agriculture, already at low ebb.

This stimulates the American farmer

Still It would appear that the farmers

WASHINGTON, Jan 1.-THE secretary
Of the treasury recently requested of
the attorney-general an opinion as to
whether or not, under the act of July ),
1854, consular officers of China, stationed
in foreign countries, can properly GER
tify to the statements, which, under
the law cited the certificates are re-

In reply, the Encouragement holds
Identification of the Chinese person

may be a subject The government
can act, he holds, in the issuance of
such certificates, only through and by
its officers and agents II it chooses to
select its consular officers in foreign
countries as such officers and agents, II
has the right TO do so.
This opinion, with previous one OF
the Encouragement, that Cinnamon

JACKSONVILLE WORKED UP.
Gov. Mitchell Denounced and Trouble IL

Gov. Mitchell Denounced and Trouble La
Threatened n lie Interferes.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. imam
ager Bowden's GRAND in Tallahassee
was the principal subject of conversa-
tion among the followers OF the Cor
bett-Mitchell contest
Although dispatches announced his
interview with Gov. Mitchell was OF a
private nature, still his statement that
the situation was unchanged gives
friends of the Duval club reason TO hope
nothing was developed adverse to the
interests of the club.
Sheriff Broward is reported as hav-
ing sid IL the governor ordered out
the militia he would consider IL per-
sonal insult, and resign his position.
II was impossible TO locate the sheriff,
however, and the truth of the story
cannot be confirmed at this writing.
Last night a great crowd of citizens
thronged Metropolitan hall, called
there to protest against the intended
action of Gov Mitchell In calling out
the militia to prevent the Corbett-
Mitchell contest Speeches were
made OF fiery nature, some OF the
most prominent men in the city re-
spending to calls from the audience.
After three of the city councilmen
had spoken, saying they protested more
against the insult offered the city as u
lIw-abidng city than against the an
ticipated stopping of the contest, reso-
lutions were introduced and adopted
amid the greatest applause and excite
ment denouncing the action of Gov.
Mitchell in threatening to call out the
militia.
Then the meeting adjourned. From
sentiments expressed by prominent
citizens after the meeting IL seems,
should the military be ordered out,
serious trouble will certainly follow.
One man, who is well known at the
Florida bar, expressed himself as fol-
lows:
"lf Gov. Mitchell orders out the mill
tia to suppress an anticipated riot, he
viii instead, precipitate a riot as sure
as stand on my feet at this moment.
II the troops come TO jacksonville on
January 25 murder will be done and
Gov Mitchell will be responsible for
IT,"
Tie crowd was worked up to high
pitch of excitement and threats were
frequently heard that the first attempt
by the military would result in blood
shed. This is the general opinion
throughout the city.

became very much disguised at finding,
