Sensible Tuberculosis Ideas.

National StoclIman and Farmer)
Admit the vast amount OF nonsense that
the public has had to endure from theo-
rists and so-called scientists in regard TO
tuberculin. II Is refreshing TO note the
commOnsense ideas advised by DR.. ID. T..
Salmon, Chief of the Bureau OF Animal
Industry.
He states what experience has proven,
and what scientific investigation has failed
to disprove. that there IL comparatively
little danger from the milk OF tuberculous
COWS He also dispOses of the idea that
the flesh Of all animals condemned by
the tuberculin test is not healthful In
the following words, which we commend
to those seeking the truth about this
question:
1t is perfectly safe to consume the
carcasses Of animals which are only
slightly affected with tuberculosis, and
which are in a satisfactory condition of
flesh. The emaciated carcasses of tuber-
culOus cattle should under all circum-
stances be condemned. as well as all
carcasses in which there is any considera-
bic development Of the tubercular pro-
cess. But when. as is very frequently
the case with animals slaughtered on the
tuberculn test, there Is only an insignih-
cant lesion in one Of the lymphatic-glan
and the animal is fat, free from fever,
and shows the genera! signs OF good
health, the quality Of the meat is not
affected, and It may be consumed with
perfect safety"

pATIfHNsLIsN.

We had occasion a few days ago TO
define the word "paternalism" for the
benefit of one Of our readers. We defined
it as a word which was used to describe
persons who held the doctrine that the
government ought to treat its citizens as
a father treats his children. We did not
expect then that a real case of paternal-
ism would come under our observation so
soon as one has come. On Thursday
Senator Vest, Of Missouri, and Senator
Harris, Of Tennessee, both gave II as
their decided opinion that the people
ought not to rush to Washington to ask
for assistance from the General Govern
ment when they were abundantly able TO
take care Of themselves. And he said
further that. without boasting, he could
say that St Louis and Missouri could
take care of their people under the great
storm or any other misfortune. Mr. Har-
ris expressed himself as in fun sympathy
with Mr.. Vests remarks. Evidently there
is no paternalism in the composition OF
Mr.. Vest or Mr.. Harris.
two senators was case of real paternal-
ism or not we shall not undertake 10
decide. We are confident, however, that
il is a case which United States senator's
and members of the House Of Represen-
tatives may treat as meritorious pater-
nalsm. 1t is difficult to draw the line
in such cases, but the constituents at
home will not question either the const-
tutionality or the rightfulness in itself
of making an appropriation for the benefit
of the st. Louis sufferers. Anyhow, the
paternalstic resolution objected to by the
two senators we have named was rushed
through both houses of Congress in a
hurry, and signed by the President They
allowed it to pass the Senate with their
consent.

MEAT AND MILK QUESTION.

We should think that one Of the first
duties TO which the new Council would
give attention would be the meat ana
milk-inspection matter. II is too late TO
expect that the retiring Council will be
able to give this important subject the
thorough inquiry and deliberate conside-
ration that its Importance demands.
The Dairymens Association is perfectly
willing that our city should adopt reason
able regulations governing the inspection
of herds and milk. and we hope that ere
long the cattle-dealers and butchers will
agree that the inspection of their cattle
and meat Is also desirable, II not abso-
lutely necessary.
Public attention is now fixed upon the
butchers and dairymen. and suspicion ia
rife often where 1t should not be. There
Is no better way for the injured parties
10 secure relief. or to quiet sensational
reports, than by means of city inspec,
tion.
People. who never before in all of their
lives looked at drove OF cattle. now
eye every drove that comes through the
city. And these people cannot but note
the fact that many OF the animals look
as though they were not strong enough to
walk half a mile. We know. but we
doubt IL the general public know, that
most OF these cattle have just come out
OF crowded cattle-cars. and that they have
been orampod in their legs by long con-
= sinement but are otherwise perfectly well
and healthy.
AS things stand. dairymen and butchers
will not have much more peace hero
until an inspection has been established,
so thoroughly has the public mind been
aroused by reason OF the disclosures made
recently as to the widespread existence Of
tuberculosis in the cattle OF This State.
SO we think the sooner a meat and milk
inspection is ordained and established by
the City Council. the better it win be
for meat and milk consumers. and the
better for stockmen, butchers. and dairy
men. rtl.

Henry Hatterson on Patriotism.
DD.t.t..

From early manhood until now, Henry
Watterson. the unique and robust editor
OF the Louisville Courier-Journal. has
been a picturesque and striking figure In
American life. As pyrotechnic politi-
clan. and as a very able but erratic editor.
he has filed an original and conspicuous
place in the eyes of his countrymen, but
never, perhaps. before did the apostle OF
the "Star-Eyed Goddess OF Reform" say
the right thing in the right place at the
right time 80 effectually as in putting
some very plain truths before English
men in London on last Saturday night
The occasion was a complimentary din
ner given by the American cOnsuls In
Great Britain to our COnsul-General at
London. Mr.. Watterson was really speak
ing in the presence Of his own country
men, but. I'm effect, he talked over their
heads TO the English peOp.e. He dispelled
the notion that there Is any difference OF
sentiment in America now between the
North and the South on national affairs,
and he was bold enough to tell the
Britishers that there are some things
more TO be dreaded than war.
Mr.. Watterson granted the proposition
that the two great nations together oc-
cupy n position strong enough TO rule
the destnies Of the human race. but he
reminded his hearers and his readers In
the newspapers that they are not likely
to agree upon serms unN Engllshmen
are thrilled at the tomb Of Washington.
as Americans are beside the grave OF
Shakespeare The Kentucky editor waved
the Stars and Stripes before the mauso-
leums OF Wellington and Nelson, and he
called uDon "our kin across the sea- TO
do the same at the restng-places Of
Grant. Sherman, Lee, Farragut, and
Stoncwall Jackson.
Talk OF common blood. similar instltu-
lions, and the same origin is appropriate
In its place, but considerations OF that
sort did not keep England and America
from war I'm I776 and in 1872. and Mr..
Watterson specifically intimated that they
would not do 50 again when interests
might clash. and when the martial spirit
in both countries should refuse to cover
before insult Oh injury.
This manly assertion OF Americanism
in London at this time is particularly
pertinent and appropriate. II will serve
TO acquaint the British people with the
true state Of public sentiment in this
country. 1t will dispel popular error
abroad. and impress upon the Anglo
SaXons Of Europe that their descendants
in America are neither craven nor
cOwardly in the assertion or defence Of
their rights and opinions before the
world.

.THE FADED SUITS OF GRAY"

The Dispatch feels grateful to the Vete-
rams Committee OF Arrangements Tor ac-
cepting It's suggestion with reference TO
having a war-song concert during the re-
union here, and to the Sons OF veterans
Cor accepting its suggestion as to furnish
ing ice-water for the men In the parade
OF July %.
1t occurs 10 us now 10 propose that
such veterans as possess the uniforms
that they wore during the war should
wear them in the parade, and that all
such officers and men should be formed
into a special organization for the occa-
sion under the command Of the senior
officer present.
We remember that IN one OF the great
parades here, Colonel r. l.. Maury ana
Major Robert Stiles. OF this city, APP
peared in line wearing their old rebel
uniforms. Thus tens Of thousands OF
young people were able on that day to
see real Confederate uniforms for the
first time. But they saw only the uniforms
Of officers of infantry and artillery. We
should like for them 10 see. not only what
the officers wore. but what the officers
and privates Of each branch OF the SER
vice wore. Nor would we overlook our
naval service. The old sailors ought TO
fall into line with the old soldiers, and
be dressed i'm their wartime "toggery."
we believe 1t possible to form corps
of one or two hundred men uniformed
in their old Confederate army suits; and
we venture 10 say that neither the ca
diets nor the "crack" volunteer COM
mands would attract more attention in
the parade than they. There is now lit
tie time left in which to develop this
scheme. but II those in or out of the city
who have uniforms, and who are willing
to parade. will communicate with the
Dispatch, we will undertake TO see what
we can do TO bring about the organiZa-
ton Of a committee OF arrangements to
make provision for the assembling and
parade Of these uniformed veterans, on
July ID.
BY the way. though the regulation
uniforms Of the Confederate army were
gray, the close of the war found nearly
wearing homespun suits of various colors
or, at least. of various shades Of gray.
so-called "butternut" suits were greatly
in vogue, whole regiments being thus uni
formed. Some Of our uniform cloth was
gotten from England on blockade-run-
ners; some was made at the woolien-
mills scattered here and there through
the country, and a great deal was the
product OF hand-looms. worked by the
women Of the South. There was Ca
det-gray" cloth. very fine and soft
which was made at the Crenshaw wool
refractory. in this city. This factory
stood on the south side Of the canal
near the upper end of the Tredegar
Works, but was destroyed by fire in
the long ago-pernaps during the war.

FIGURING on TIE CONVENTION.

The New York Herald has poiled inc
states by telegraph with a view OF ascer-
tanning the financial complexion Of the
several delegations 20 the Chicago conven-
tion. The total number of delegates Is
$40. and the Hcrald's figures, based upon
the action Of conventions that nave Deeh
held and estimates touching those TO be
held. are: For silver, JO3; for gold. S'5;
doubtful. q. As the Herald says, these
figures give an overwhelming majority Tor
silver. but our contemporary also prints
an estimate made by Chairman Harrity,
Secretary Sheern, and other members OF
the Democratic National Committee,
which it admits shows that the gold men
have a fighting chance, and the summa-
ries Of which are as follows: For gold,
pS7; for silver, 427; doubtful o.
Some of the discrepancies between the
two tables are very marked. For in
stance, the Herald gives Virginia 20 silver
and 4 gold delegates; West Virginia 10
silver and gold delegates; Ohio, SG silver
and 10 gold delegates, whereas the Har-
rity-Sheerin calculation credits Virginia
with gold and 1G silver delegates. and
puts both West Virginia and Ohio in the
doubtful column Again. the Herald as
signs Louisiana to the doubtful column
and the Harrlty- Sheerin figures place that
State in the gold line.
The Herald's Chicago special, which in
corporates the IIarrity-Sheerin table. says
Chairman Harrity was hopeful. notwth-
standing the bad news for the gold men,
from Indiana: but a later telegram quotes
him as stating that II is possible that the
silver element will have majority sufii-
clently large 10 control the convention
An equation of the latest interview with
Chairman Harrlty, the two tables we have
drawn the above figures from. and the
deductions of the Herald would seem to
indicate that the cloud OF uncertainty re-
garding the financial declaration of the
Chicago convention has n decided silver
lining Yet 1t may be- as Chairman Har-
Iity says, that the st. Louis convention
will have the effect Of clarifying the at
mosphere a good deal for the Democratic
party, and then we will know better what
we want to do. In other words, behind
the cloud the sun of a sound financial
policy. or. at least as the National Chair
man phrases it, Of a fairly amlcable ad-
justment of the issue. may still be Shin
ing.

Gen. Douglas and senator Daniel to
Invite Veterans Ia baltimore.

ABI1llWOft SUM-
4 committee from James r. Herbert
Camp, Confederate Veterans, has invited
General II. Kyd Douglas. of Hagerstown,
to accompany the camp TO the Confede-
rate reunion in Richmond, which will be-
gin June S0th and continue three days,
and 10 make an address before the Nete-
rams Association. presenting an invita-
ton for the holding OF the encampment
for 1897 I'm Baltimore.
This invitation will bear the indorse-
ment of the Mayor and both braches Of
the Baltimore City Council. as well as
that OF leading bankers and business or
CARNATIONS I'm Baltimore. General DOu-
glas is especially fitted for the task, being
an eloquent and impressive speaker and
a Marylander by birth, besides which he
was d gallant Confederate soldier. having
distinguished himself in the celebrated
Stonewall Brigade In the line. and after
wards on the stats of General StOnewall
Jackson and General Iohn -. Gordon.
James Il. Herbert Camp has also been
fortunate In securing an orator 10 follow
General Douglas in a seconding speech.
United States Senator John w Daniel, OF
Virginia. has very gracefully accepted an
invitation 10 take this part.
In letter to the Committee of Invita-
ton Senator Daniel writes: Il have your
kind letter I'm favor OF Baltimore for the
next reunion of Confederates, and will be
glad to cooperate with you 10 that end. 1
will meet you in Richmond. and will take
great pleasure In joining the Maryland
Line for the occasion and for next year"

The Dispatch propounds the following

The Dispatch propounds the following
queries:
Shall we on June 18th pronounce in favor
OF a constitutional convention, and re
commend our voters TO so 10 the polls
next May and vote aye?
or. shall we say that this is not
suitable time to call a constitutional con-
vention, and urge our voters TO go to the
polls next May and vote no?
Or, shall we provide for the calling OF
a special State Democratic convention,
to assemble after the presidential con-
vention, to make delverance for our
party as TO what action our voters would
better take?
Or. shall we ignore the question at
S,aunton. and leave our voters to deter
mine for themselves in May next whether
il would be well or i'll to vote In favor OF
calling a convention? In other words.
shall we, with divided ranks, go TO battle
against the solid phalanxes OF the Re
publicans?
We should answer the first of these
questions In the affirmative. and 70 the
rest our response would be an emphatic
No.
If this is suitable time TO call con-
stitutional convention. why should the
Democratic party declare that it is not?
Why should We create the wrong I'M
preston that the constitutional conyen-
lion is a cut-and dried party affair? To
call "A special convention in order TO mark
out beforehand the lines upon which dele
gates should proceed when they revise
the State Constitution would inevitably
do this. We do not like the idea Of ex-
tenslve and comprehensive advice from
the party as to what should be done, and
what should be left undone. Our people
Will send good men and true 10 con-
stitutional convention. and they can be
trusted to act wisely and conseryatiyely.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1896-06-03

Why should we by ignoring the matter
at Staunton. give ground for suspicion
that the charges OF the Republicans are
correct? Every Democrat knows that
they are false. We have no reason 10
avoid an Endorsement OF the convention
movement. and we should make q grea-
mistake In observing silence.
The Landmark would have preached
this subject at an earlier date, IL 1t had
not been for other matters, which. for the
time being, claimed It's attention. AS
there seems to be a belief that the many
Democratic newspapers In Virginia when
have favored o revision OF the Constitu-
ton are disposed TO let the issue drop.
few expressions from them viii show the
error OF such suppositlon. We. how
ever. have failed to observe the slightest
weakening I'm the position Of any Of our
contemporaries who have advocated the
moyement-Norfolk Landmark.
