New Phase Of Tuberculosis.


The matter of the prevalence of tu-
berculosis among the cattle of the state
continues to excite comment and dis
cussion. AT the regular March meeting
of the Burlington Clinical Society, an
organization composed of the physicians
of Burlington and surrounding towns,
a committee was appointed to confer
with the city government in regard to
procuring legislation requiring periodic
inspection Of the herds of cows supply
ing the city with milk. tbs interesting
10 read, in certain alleged agricultural
exchanges, echoes of recent dicta that
there is no cause for scare or panic;
that cows have always been more or
less affected with this disease, the same
as mankind; that there is really nothing
new about it, etc., etc. Then the
cuckoo picks up the song that high
feeding for increased butter production
is really responsible for an increased
prevalence of disease which is not in.
creasing at all, and about which there
is nothing new except the manner of
detecting it. The disease is no more
prevalent now, says the bird, than half
century ago; but in the fact that dur
ing the last fifty years the farmers have
been working up from 125 pounds an
nually to the COW till hundreds of dairy
men are getting pound day for
three-fourths of the year is found the
reason for greater prevalence of dis
ease which, in the same breath it is de-
Jared, has always existed among cattle
the same as among the human kind. An
overworked COW, it is sapiently set forth a.,
twill die just like an overworked
wife y; but it does not necessarily fol-
low in the case of the COW, any more
than in that of the wife, that the col
lapse will proceed from tuberculosis.
Carnivorous humans, driven from pork,
their faith in beef wrecked, took refuge
in mutton and poultry. Now tubercu-
losis is reported among the sheep and
fowls of Colonel A. S. Hopkins, a
farmer at North Adams, Mass. The
disease was first found among the
South Downs and Shropshires, and lGG
of the best in the flock have been killed
An examination showed that the Col.
onel's jersey cattle were nearly as
badly affected as the sheep, and the
chickens also had the fell disease, taken
from the sheep in the pasture Man

blind or eat no meat. The animals on
Colonel Hopkins farm known to be af-
fected and which will have to be
slaughtered are valued at over $4,000.
Very likely it will now be disclosed that
tuberculosis in sheep and hens was
known to the ancients and was legis-
lated against in the middle ages; that
there is no cause for panic or for es-
chewing mutton and poultry or deny
ing ones self eggs on toast. Still, ones
faith in the old staple articles of food is
considerably shaken.

THE women of Lexington, KY, are
fighting the nomination and election of
Colonel W. G. p. Breckenridge to con-
gress. William G. Owens is Colonel
Breckinridge's leading competitor. On
his coming to Lexington this week, the
women have arranged for reception
in his honor. The boxes of the opera
house will be filled with representative
women of the blue grass region, and a
large delegation will occupy the body
of the house. We have received copy
of sixteen-page pamphlet, published
at Lexington, KY, entitled "An appeal
to the people of the Ashland district
for purity in the home and morality in
public life," The work is a protest
against the reelection of Colonel
Breckenridge, and under its various
headings is an eloquent appeal for
moral purity and for the protection OF
the public service, womanhood, the
boys and girls, and all classes of So
ciety, from the debasing effects of the
example of the eminent libertine of the
Ashland district. 1t is also trench
ant review of the life and the defence
of Breckenridge, and prayer for hi
defeat. Vermont bids the women o
Lexington, and all the forces allied il
their opposition to the efforts of The
great sinner to further disgrace Ken
lucky, hearty Godspeed.

Light from the Democratic Sun.

We expected it, and the expected
happened. The Argus and Patriot, in
its last issue, states editorially that p.
j. Sorg, democrat, was elected by a
plurality of about 5000 to FIJI the va
cancy in the third Ohio district caused
by the death of Representative Houk.
The Argus claims to be great news
paper, but its Office boy could have told
its editor that Sorg's real plurality,
known and published in all the real
newspapers, and stated in the issue of
the WATCHMAN of current date with
that of the Argus in which the above
misstatement was made, was just ,721.
The Argus editorial writer either did
not know the commonest facts about
the election in the third Ohio district,
or, presuming upon the density of the
ignorance of those who are still adher-
ing to the papers subscription list,
sought TO score point by lying about
the election.
If the Argus and Patriot had been
informed as to all the facts in the case,
and candid enough to admit their sig
nifcance, the contemporary would have
stated that in November, 1892, when
the tariff was the dominating issue in
every congressional district in the ma
ton, Houk was elected from the third
Ohio by plurality of 4,3l6; the con-
temporary would have followed this in
formation with the observation that,
after some fourteen months of demo-
cratic rule, with the shadow of the Chi
cago platform stretching its baleful
length over all the land, another cleo
ton was held in the third Ohio and
the tariff was again the issue; it would
have pointed out that, despite the fact
that the democratic candidate was a
man of great wealth and used his
wealth for all it was worth to in
sure his election, the democratic ma
jority was over sixty per cent less
than in 1892, when democratic tariff
reform was only lying and delusive
battle-cry, and not the dread and par
alyzing reality it later became. The
contemporary, instead of making a pet
tifogging comparison with the figures
of the last state election, would have
gone further and have shown that had
an election been held in all the twenty.
one congressional districts of Ohio on
Tuesday, May l, the ratio of demo-
cratic loss in the third district, applied
to the whole state, would have changed
the existing delegation in the house of
representatives from eleven democrats
and ten republicans to fourteen repub.
licans and seven democrats, and Harri-
sons petty plurality of 1912 votes
would have swollen to $4,000. But the
organ of the old guard of Bourbons in
Vermont, who are still voting at presi-
dental elections for General Jackson, is
not turning any search-lights in the d.
rection of the real facts in this or any
other matter of national politics-even
if it knows what the real facts are OF
where to look for them. So does ligh,
and intelligence stream from the sun
of the Vermont democracy.

THE New York Press publishes what,
if the half is true, is indeed " "a story of
shame" The Press AYERS that the
sugar trust contributed 100000 to the
democratic campaign fund in 1892, and
that the sugar schedule of the admins
tration tariff bill now before the senate
is the return grateful democracy
makes for princely campaign lift; that
the new sugar schedule, while placing a
tax of one cent on every pound of sugar
and enhancing the cost to that extent,
will add S50,0O0,OOO annually to the
revenues of the trust. This, and the
administration Infamous Hawaiian
policy, is democracy's return for aid in a
time of need. 1t has been charged that
democratic senators have been specu-
lating in sugar stocks on cues given by
the officers of the trust. This charge
the Press reiterates, and says that sugar
trust officers guaranteed senators a rise
of thirty points in Wall street. The
details of this scandal are given with
much particularly, and it is further
averred that Standard Oil, lead aud
whiskey trusts are to be taken care of.
The scandal is the darkest one that has
stained the records of legislation since
the days of Credit Mobilier.

IMPELLED by fear of arrest for va
grancy and confinement in the work
house, Coxey's army has evacuated
Washington and encamped at Bladens-
burg in Maryland, under the close sur
veillance of the civil authorities. For the
rank and file, the prospect of arrest and
confinement in Jail, with food and lodg-
ings a matter of dead certainty, had no
terrors; but visions of the workhouse and
plenty of humble toll had no charms
for the industrials, so they left Wash
ington and Washington made haste to
speed the parting guests. Admiral
Kelly is sailing down the silvery Des
Moines. Other divisions of the mus.
tering tramps are stealing trains in the
extreme West, defying United States
officers and fleeing before the rifles of
United States regulars. So unfolds the
disgraceful farce, the latest and most
humilating development of the infinite
possibilities of mischief that lurk in the
industrial policy of the dominant po-
litical party.

will unite for battle. We regret to see
their old.time and fervid advocate de-
sorting them. But they still have

ners, they will triumph and put the

was held on Tuesday, and several cases
were quickly disposed of. Five men
waived the privilege of having the
charges traversed by the grand jury. Two
of them were sent to state prison for

for terms of two to three months All OF
these men are now out of the way In
stead of the county paying their board for
about four months until the October
term, and then continuing the expense
for those sentenced to the county institu-

TUESDAY. JUNE 10. 1894.

JUDGE WILLIAM WALTER PHELPS died at
his home at Teaneek, on Sunday morning.
His last public appearance was about ten
weeks ago, when he attended some pub
lie entertainment in Hackensack. Ty-
phoid fever attacks him and fastened
the lung trouble with which he had long
been threatened. Mr.. Phi clips public rec
ord is well known, as he has served this
country in many important positions.
His death is loss not only to New Jer'
sey but to the country at large. His de-
yotion to the interests conhded to his
care was one of his personal characters-
tics, and whether serving his state or the
nation his activity was the same. Mr.
Phelps was one of the few men who had
a long public career on which no shadow
rests; he was honorable to the highest
degree, and in his death the nation has
lost good citizen.

AFTER careful consideration of all the
points offered by the counsel of Wesley
Warner. the Court of Errors and Appeals
refused to grant the murderer of Lizzie
Peak new trial, and affirmed the ludg
ment of tie lower court The prisoner
will now be re-sentenced, and will be
hanged unless the Court of Pardons in
tervenes. Recognizing the fact that 1t is
the duty of counsel to exhaust every
energy for the benefit of a client, we can
not refrain from expressing the opinion
that the law should now be allowed to
take its course without further interior
ence The prisoner has been given
full latitude and privileges, and cannot
complain of persecution or undue haste
His crime was of a brutal character and is
deserving of capital punishment. Having
been given every chance that he was enti-
tied to, his counsel should now relinquish
him to the fate that is his Just due. The
only way In which this matter can be
taken before the Court of Pardons will be
by petition, and paper of this nature
will undoubtedly be circulated, with the
plea to "let the responsibility rest upon
the court" Signatures to such petition
should be withheld No doubt the jurors
who convicted Warner will be asked to
put their names to a plea for clemency,
but they, of all men. should decline. They
found verdict strictly in accord with the
testimony Their connection with the
case has ended. To ask the court to re-
duce the sentence which they, in reality.
imposed, would be qualification.
