THE SEED SCANDALS.

Certain members of the Fifty
third Congress have taken UNI
bragg at Il statement attributed to
Secretary Morton to the effect that
a number of their fellow-members
had sold seeds allotted to them by
the Agricultural Department for
distribution to their constituents.
Mr.. Tarsney, of Missouri, who has
voicesl their sensitiveness, COM
plains that persons in the country
districts who did not receive seeds
will suspect that their member
disposed of his alIotments of seeds
in the way suggested by the Sec
retary, and as it is impossible for
a member representing country
district. or a district made up cart
ly from the country, to supply
seeds to all his constituents, 1t will
be discovered that the Secretary
has east an insinuation upon all
members who have districts partly
or entirely made up of u rural con-
stituency.
Already some of the rural mem
bers have raised breeze about
this matter, and there is talk of an
investigation by the next Congress.
But If, as Mr.. Tarsney admits, it is
impossible fur any rural member
to supply seeds to all of his con-
stituents, how palpably unjust the
whole seed distribution becomes
unjust to the seedless constituents,
to the member himself, and to the
taxpayers of the country! While
the aggrieved Congressman are
clamoring for justice, why not
make the claim Irresistible on
broad public grounds by urging
the abolition OF the whole seed
business? An investigation that
should lead To this result would be
q public blessing, and Secretary
Morton would assuredly hc thelastl
TO make objection TO it, Plum
Dealer.

THE MEAT MONOPOLY.

The "Big Four" as the great
Chicago wholesale dressed beef
firms are called: insist that the sud-
den lift In the prices of beeves and
beefsteaks is due to scarcity; and
that the scarcity has been brought
about by three specific causes
failure of pasturage from drought
on the Western cattle ranges, the
short corn crop and the hard win
ter. But the cattle growers de.
clare that the "Big -Four" have an
ticipated the scarcity by heavy
purchases OF cattle, and that they
are aggravating it by needlessly
pinching the market.
The cheapness OF cattle In the
West and the dearness of beef
steaks in The East are facts very
well established. The exceeding
prosperity Of the wholesale dealers

FALL RIVER MILL WAGES GO UP.
FALL RIVER, Mass, April Ill
The increase in wages in the Fall
River Iron Works cotton mill,
which is owned by c. ID. Borden, of
New York, has caused genuine
CONSERVATION among the other
manufacturers, who will probably
be forced to raise wages according
~.
The increase in the mill will be
to the rates paid before August 90,
and will take effect April 90 The
operatives are in high glee over it.
The secretaries Of the unions say
special meetings will be called at
an early date, and formal demands
will he made on other mill owners
for a restoration of the cut in wa
ges made last August. If the de-
mand is not granted the operatives
will not work.

THE IRON AND STEEL TRADE AID.
VANCING AT A RAPID RATE.
PITTsBURG, Pa, April 1l.-Per-
sonal inquiry by reporters of the
Times (Republican) among the big
iron and steel manufacturers of
Pittshurg reveals the fact that bus.
ness is from % to so per cent. bet
ter now than it was year ago.
Manufacturers say that the condi-
tions now are identical with those
of this period of 1879, which was
followed by the greatest boom ever
known to the iron trade, when the
rate for pudding, which is now
S3 90 to 81, went to 1915 ton.
There is nothing like boom now,
but even the most conservative OF
the iron men say the outlook is
good, and that an exceedingly
prosperous future appears assured

THE NICARAGUA AFFAIR.

The publication of the full text
of Great Britian's demand upon
Nicaragua shows that there was
some ground for the complaint that
this country was not properly con-
sidered or was Disseminated
against, or. to put it bluntly, was
snubbed in the matter of the COM
position of the arbitration COM
mission. The British Government
now explains that there was no in
tention to exclude the United
States from membership in the ar
bitration by the use of the phraze
"not city Of any American State"
The explanation, if made from a
sufficient authority, will probably
be accepted, especially if tho ulti-
mate selection of citizen of the
United States for this service
should demonstrate the sincerity
of this construction. Without
some convincing proof Of this sort
the excuse offered by British diplo-
mats that the words "American
State" are always made to apply to
the smaller States on this cent?
nent will seem rather thin. 1t is
at least loose phraseology and
might lead to awkward misunder-
standings and complications

How to Wash Flannels.

Three things are enemies of fan.
nels: hot irons, hot water and the
rubbing on of soap when wet; these
things it is that shrink, full, and
discolor fannels. Look the gar
ments over and rub soap on soiled
spots before wetting. Make warm
suds, and add a tablespoonful of
ammonia to gallon of water.
Squeeze the garments with the
hands, but never rub them, least
of all upon the board, d,-put that out
of temptations way. Rinse in
water Of the same temperature as
the first, till clean. If colored add
white vinegar to the last water, TO
set the color. After wringing,
shake well and draw into shape;
dry quickly, pulling them into
shape as they dry. The WHISTLES
OF vests and anklets of tights
should be stretched as narrow AS
possible, to restore them to their
natural close fit;and the bag at
the knees and bulge at the elbows
can be pulled out. Take the gar
ments down while still damp, and
press with a warm iron--neyer
bot-till perfectly dry. In this
way old flannels will be as soft and
comfortable to wear AS new ones.--

Regarding the Now Noted Case Of
Hannah Geary. the Perry
County Invalid.


COLUMBUS, OHIO, April 3.-Sec-
retary Probst, Of the State Board
of Health, Saturday received what
he regards as II very important re-
port from the physicians in charge
ofthe United States Marine Hos
pital.
The report has reference to the
supposed case of leprosy in Perry
County, eight miles from New Lex
ington, concerning which informa-
tion reached the Board of Health
in December last. The supposed
leper is Hannah NJ. Geary, the
eighteen-year-old daughter of
George w. Geary, n deceased
soldier, who served in the Eighty
seventh o. V. I. The girl develop
ed symptoms of the disease at the
age Of l5 months, and it gradually
progressed, the toes becoming ul-
cerated and other parts of the body
being affected, until n few months
ago, the left hand sloughed off
The detached member was for
warded to Secretary Pr0bst, and
by him transferred to DR.. J. j..
KinyOun, Past Assistant Surgeon
in the Marine Hospital Service,
and in charge of the bacteriologi-
cal laboratory, for examination,
Dir. NJ. j. Rosenau, who made
the examination under directions
of DIR. Kinyoun at the laboratory
in New York, says:
81 have the honor to make the
following report on the specimen
from the supposed case of lepros,
submitted for examination by DIR,
q. 0. Probst, Secretary of the Ohio
State Board Of Health: The speci-
men presented for examination is
Il portion of the left hand, includ.
| ing the little and ring fingers. The
entire member is thickehed to
abouttwice it's natural size. On
the hand is an extensive superficial
ulcer, with sharply defined edge
and irregular margin. AT the wrist
the liberation has extended deeply
through the tissue, amputating the
hand at this point. A similar pro
cess seems to have affected the ii!
of the ring finger.
"Sectfuns were made and studied
from seven places. Fourwer tax
en- from the edge Of the ulcer, two
from its center and one through
the skin and thickened sub
cutaneous tissue, including the
nerve going to the little finger
All sections disclosed a general
hypertrophy ,f the parts and en-,
larged overgrowth Of connective
tissue. Some Of the specimens
from the edge of the ulcer showed
the histology of the specific granu-
lomata. a thickehing of the blood
vessel walls was noticed in the sub.
cutanous tissue. All the sections
were stained for lepra bacilli, with
negative results. Those sections
containing giant cells were alsc
stained for tubercule bacilli, but
none were found. The disease
therefore, in my opinion, is neither
leprosy nor tuberculosis" The
doctor intiInates in closing his re-
port, suspicion that the affection
is due to deep-seated blood dis
ease of Il loatl,some character.

THE DEM0RALIzED TAX LAW.

~ ~
1t may be that the repeal of the
income tax law by the new con
gre $ will not be as promptly ac-
complished as was imagined. There
will be a large Republican MAORI
ty in the house and remembering
all the hard things said Of the law
by Republican speakers and editors
after its passage and since the blow
given it by the supreme court, il
would appear almost certain that
one of the first things done by the
| house after its organization would
be to pass repeal bill. But yet
there are doubts.
1t turns out that the Republican
members from western states look
on the income tax as Il buzz saw
that it is wise not to monkey with.
They did not vote for it, preferring
that the Democrats should have
what odium attached to the party
passing it, but they do not care to
vote for its repeal in view of the
fact that such action could readily
be turned to their Encouragement
in the west, where $4,000 incomes
are scarce. If Il repeal bill should
be introduced there will be efforts
to delay action upon it and to avoid
a vote altogether if possible, but
should it be pressed it is believed
by western Republicans that
enough Republican votes will join
with the Democrats in support of
the tax to prevent the passage of "a
repeal bill.
Those who take this view of the
situation are anxious that the
supre me court should get another
chance at the law before congress
meets and either knock it out al
together or modify the former de-
cisi0n so as to make the result less
inequita5le. 1t is pointed out that
the supreme court has reversed it's
own decision, though not often,
and that some of the points were
not as fully argued as they might
have been. In a new case these
points could be reargued, and with
a full bench and more considera-
ton it is not impossible that the
Judgment as to the rent exemption
would be reversed
a more sweeping remedy for the
present chaotic condition resulting
from the supreme court decision is
suggested. The difficulty was due
to the constitutional provision re.
garding direct taxation. 1t was
that which caused the decision
against taxing rents of land and
income from state and municipal
bonds. With that provision struck
out there would be palmer sailing
for congress. AS it is there are
! doubts whether any income tax is
not direct tax and, therefore, sub
lject to the condemnation pro.
nounced on two features 0f the
present law. 1t is suggested that
u constitutional amendment be
submitted to the states, striking
out the direct tax clause and Ieav-
ing congress free to levy taxes on
the people for federal purposes.
1t is asserted that such an amend
ment would be certain of prompt
ratification in more than enoug h
states of the west and south to
carry it. There is likelihood OF
such "A proposition coming up in

The Dance.

The dance given by the Seventies on
Tuesday evening was a very enjoyable
one. The house was not over crowded,
yet there were enodgh numbers to Gil
the floor each time. There was one
pleasing feature connected with this
dance, which the dancers Of this place
should take notice of and pattern after,
that Of commencing Mt an early hour
and quitting at IL o'clock. There 10 no
question but what the dancers on this
occasion had as much dancing from 7
p. III. until IL, as those who go to dances
which commence ut $3.50 and keep up
until or 8 O'Clock q. m. This seems to
DO a bad practice our young folks have
driited into, but We believe they could
get out Of it II they would only make the
effort.
The little program that was carried
out on this occasion was quite interest
ing. Tho calling OF Mr.. VIM. Yates fol
all those who had been on missions
either foreign or otherwise, TO stand up
revealed the fact that there were 20 out
Of AZ Seventies present who had pre-
formed such labor.
