THE commander ofthe Massachusetts
department of the G. A. R. has issued a
general order, in which he says the pro-
posed dedication, on the 30th inst, of a
monument at Chicago to the Confeder-
ates who died in prison at Johnson's
Island, is san outrage and an insult to
every true Union man, and that the
blood of the martyred Lincoln and
noble Grant cry out in protest against
this blasphemy" The newspapers OF
the capital of the late Confederate
States shonld read the order referred
to, and then renew their vain efforts to
have Southern people taxed to pay for
transforming the field on which the
'storm Graded" nation gave up the
ghost, into national park for the de-
location of the victors.

ONCE UPON time, during Mr.. Cleve-
lands administration, democrats were
removed from federal offices for making
democratic speeches in their own towns
and after Office hours. But times have
changed, and now the highest govern

Washington, and go North, South, East
and West, to advocate the Presidents

THE SILVER mine owners and their
agents say this country, by itself alone,
could establish silver currency that the
world would accept. If one country
can do that for the world, one man
should be able to do so for his own
neighbors. But the people of this coun,
try will not receive deprecated silver
coin in payment of their dues, and even
Senator Stewart, one of the silver
leaders, in his contracts, provides that
payments must be made in gold. Why
the old talk about government pawn
shops for farmers products, is profound
wisdom, compared to that about giving
the rich owners of silver mines q dollar
for every fifty cents worth of theirpro-

THE coal mine strike in the Flat
Top region was not for increased wages
or shorter hours, but against the use of
improved and electrical machinery.
There is no doubt that the use of ma
chinery reduces the demand for labor.
But it is equally certain that incessant
strikes have stimulated invention in
order to diminish the need for labor
and save employers the trouble and
loss to which they are subjected by rea-
son of strikes. So again, chickens come
home to roost.

The republican clubs of Kentuck,

The republican clubs of Kentucky,
at their late convention, denounced the
legislature of Tennessee for deciding
that democrat, who had been fairly
and legally elected, should be the Gov
ernor of that State; but, though the
whole country is talking about silver,
and though silver has divided both par
ties, the convention had never word

UPON THE passage of the tariff bill
last year Mr.. Rayner said it was great
victory for Senator German, whom he
had always admired, and did so then
more than ever. That was only eight
months ago, and yet now Mr.. Rayner,
from the way he talks, must think Mr..
German the worst man in all Mary
land. But during those eight months
Mr.. Rayner asked Mr.. German to help
his gubernatorial aspirations, and Mr..
German told Mr.. Rayner that it would
be better TO let the office seek the man,
than the man, the office.

simple and that the present agitation
differs only in degree from the green

ODD FELLOWS AT ODDs.-The Grand
Lodge of Odd Fellows of Virginia will
meet in Manchester on the 14th. There
has been little dissatisfaction among
the members of the order in this State
during the past year. The older ele-
ment has been arrayed against the
younger, because of certain progressive
ideas that have not met with the ap-
proval of the former. The deputy
grand master will not allow himself to
be elevated to the grand masters chair
for reason not generally known to the
members in general. This will leave
all three elective Offices to be filled d.
rectly from the floor. Hill Montague,
of Richmond, the present grand war
den, will, no doubt, be candidate for
the Office of grand master. The Office
of grand lecturer will possibly be abol-
ished, as it has been very heavy bur-
den to the grand lodge this year, and
the income from this source does not
warrant further expenditure of money.

New YORK RAcING.-As stated in
the GAZETTE, the Percy-Gray racing
bill was reconsidered in the New York
Senate yesterday and passed by vote
OF 81 to 8. Mr.. Wild's two anti-gam-
bling amendments were also passed.
The passage of these measures legal
ICES racing in New York within the
provisions of the constitutional amend
ment adopted last fall, which it was
supposed would put stop to the sport.
The Gray bill legalizes racing for
stakes, prizes, purses and premiums,
but specifically prohibits book making
and pool.selling of all kinds. On race
tracks where running races are held,
and which have received license from
the State racing commission, and on all
trotting tracks, the bill permits the
making of private bet OF wager. pro-
vided that there shall be no passing of
money directly and no interchange of
record or memorandum of bet made.
The bill provides that not more than
forty days racing shall be held on any
one track between April Is and No
vember l, and all racing shall be be-
tween sunrise and sunset.
A tax of five per cent. on the gross
receipts of all classes of racing associa-
lions, except agricultural associations,
is imposed by the bill, the proceeds to
be distributed among agricultural asso-
Citations.
The two Wild's bills carry out the
anti-gambling provisions of the new
constitution, and prohibit pool selling
and book making, and all other kinds
of gambling, and specifically repeats
the Ives pool law. These three bills
now go to the governor for his action.

Chicken Cholera and it's Prevention.

Why submit to heavy losses from
this disease? Up to April, 1893, this
disease had not been on the Experiment
Farm to our knowledge. Early in that
with dark comb; all food and water
refused. 1t was thought useless to treat
this case, but Epson salts were admin
istered and this was followed with
copious watering put in the mouth with
a spoon. The hen was placed in a
warm, sunny place, isolated from usual
runs, and recovered very slowly.
Another hen died in few days and
then another and cockerel, and several
persons who had experience with cholera
pronounced this disease to be cholera,
The hen and cockerel died near night
and next morning two other hens were
dead and eight more were in different
stage of the deasese. The six were broug hit
out into the sunlight and given salts
and water.
Treatment was begun at once. Two
hens we're killed and buried as those
previously dead had been.
The house and yard were thoroughly
disinfected with one pint of strong sui
phuric acid to eight gallons of water,
as suggested in poultry books. The
hens themselves were sprayed with this.
There drinking water charged with
carbonlc acid Zone teaspoonful to half
gallon of water) and assaf9tida was put
IN their food at the rate of one heaping
tablespoon to the food of thirty chick
ems.
The next morning six hens could not
get off the roost, though all but two
had gone up as usual, the night previ
Gus, and after t eatment These were
treated as before and put outside of the
yard. Before night all but four hens
were walking about picking grass.
After three days isolation these four
were returned to the yard cured, and all
have been in health since. Six hens and
a cockerel were lost before the health
of the flock was restored by the treat
ment as given above.
Had we known the disease at first, it
is doubtful if single bird need to have
been lost. Promptness to disinfect and
treat the sick birds will save many
losses. The doses of salts. not before
recommended to my knowledge. doubt
less helped to rid the birds of the
cholera bacilli sooner than if it had not
been given, and so fastened the Grad
ication of the disease. The assaf9tida
acts as a diffusable stimulant to help
keep the birds warm.
The drinking water was for some
days kept charged with carbcl1c acid,
and all that is now needed to secure i'm
munity from another attack is a second
thorough disinfection and to continue
for some time the addition of carbolic
acid to the drinking water.-N. @.
