contracted for at IL cents Il day, the

Work of the tuberculosis Board.

Since the new law has been in
effect, Victor |. Spear, assisted by
the different yeterinaries, has tested
more than $500 head of cattle for
tuberculosis and condemned $50, all
of which were in the eastern and
central portion of the State. Not
much has been done with the law in
the western portion of the State.
What herds have been tested there
have shown larger per cent affected
than on this side of the State. MI Z.
Spear says he has enough applica-
tons on hand to keep him busy all
winter, and that he will not have any
time to devote to institute work. He
has now applications for over 1900
animals.

The Londonderry Sitter, which we
conclude is good prohibition paper,
remarks apprehensively:
"There is to be determined effort
made next fall to elect legislature
that will repeal the prohibitory law.
1t will be an utter failure, but il
may be as well for temperance citi-
zens to keep their eyes open and
watch closely the candidates that will
be put in the field"
This is cheering intelligence, if the
Sitter only knew it. Not that there
is much possibility of the prohibition
law being repcaled-there are toe
many honest-intentioned voters who
are still indifferent to its unreason.

law will be vigorously, and, as a re-

intelligcntly discussed than ever
What is wanted is law that human
nature can live up to; a law having

community and of the individual
We do not say that any law would

that better one can be made. Nes,

Assuming that the purpose of the
Dingley bill is to raise more revenue,
the Manchester Union remarks that
it would be difficult to explain how
it could he aided by an increase of
IS per cent on window glass, when
the importations have fallen off
$1,000 boxes a month under the
Wilson bill. The two great combl-
nations are able to control the mar
ket under the Wilson bill. eft the
proposed addition of IS per cent
should be enacted" says the Union,
"the combination, or the great COM
binations which are in agreement,
could safely increase the price IS
per cent, but there would be no in
crease Of revenue" The height of
inconsistency would seem to have
been reached in this provision OF the
Dingley bill, but on top OF that comes
the assurance that the Republicans
will restore the Mckinley rates in
1898. if they are then in power.

INTOLERANCE.

In the medieval ages when the world was ruled by the reHgemse and when opinion differing from that promulgated from lordly or monarchicaI source was deprived expression it was asserted that in tolerance and superstition were twin vices. Now, however, the lib erty of free thought and free speech is guaranteed every subject ofal- most every civilized government on the globe and yet we have in tolerants-prototypes of the ias- q~iSatOres of the Dark Ages.
 From these human pests the west. is singularly free but occa- sionally some bigoted fool who deems his own opinion infallible and dares to apply opprobrious epithets to those who dare differ with him is met. Under this con- ditions we must revise our opinion for now it is proven that intoler- ance is the companion of ignorance rather than that of superstition.
 It is terrible vice; is intolerance for because of it Rome declined from her ancient glory and by it Pompeii fell. It caused the suicide of Plato, killed Ceasar and exiled Napolean. It stops progress by barring the utteranee of diverging thought and education by prevent ing the free Oppression ofindividual opinion. It nulifes individual re- search by forbidding Republication of results. It stultifes ambition by reducing mankind to the level of few. It prohibits independent efforts by prior publication of what the results of such labor shall be. Itis 8 synonym of bigotry and concomitant with ignorance.
 The asininity of the bigotry in tolerant must be apparent to every intelligent man for by arrogating to himself infaIliblity he proclaims that he is greater than the universe since the march of progress and the research of science can teach him nothing.

The United States and Mexico Will
 Cooperate.

It appears that the government of both the United States and Mex lco have evidently come to some agreement whereby there is now a possibility of solving the much mooted Indian trouble.
 Last week company of cavalry under the command of Lieutenant Bullock, marched to the San Der nardino ranch, on the line, and there was met by a company of Mexican cavalrymen, under com mand of Colonel Emilio, a com mander of note in the interior of Mexico, and together the troops will go into Mexico on an extended campaign, and scout the Sierr a Madre mountains for the band of renegade Indians who have been committing murders and oft re- peated depredations in Arizona and Mexico.
 The plan of evident active and earnest campaigning has not been publicly announced, but is never theless a fact, and the department and General Miles is to be at least commended for the1r efforts to sub due this bloodthirsty band who are supposed to be headed by the Kid.
 A skfrmish line is also to be es- tablished along the border and Lieutenant Rice, who is yet in the field, will remain in command and closely guard the highway and trails and should the band be dis lodged from their rendezvous in the Sierra Madre and attempt to make their way to the reservation, vii be given warm reception. It ii understood the right kind of order: have been issued and, outside 0 the honor and fame the command who capture the Kid and his banC would receive from a grateful peo- pie a reward of 5000 from the Territory, which will be paid fol the determination of this arch fenc and his band of redhanded cut throats.-PrOepector.
