police relief fund has been entirely omitted
The foregoing figures will give an idea
OF the almost reckless manner In which the
committee has dealt with the interests OF
the District Just to enable the Republicans
to go into the Presidential campaign next
fall with a record for economy and re-
trenchment.
Instead of increasing the appropriation
for the police force. thereby making pos
sible an increase in the number of men, and
thus making persons and property more
secure than they have been for months
past, they have reduced it in degree
which must result In Gripping it still fur
'her. There is no hope of getting school
accommodations enough TO give every child
in the District full days schooling for
nine months in the year; there is no hone
for increasing the firenen's pay, SO as TO
enable them to start a relief fund, and
the police relief fund will collapse unless
the House or the Senate come to the rescue
The chief hope of the District must
rest with the Senate, where estimates are
treated with more consfde ration than
they receive In the House.

This was the status when the inJunC-on

Notwithstanding this Mr.. Truesdell when
before the Committee OF the House. stated
distinctly that the permits were given to
theP otomac Light and Power Company. be-
cause it was ascertained to be an existing
company" in the District OF Columbia, and
hence. as he claimed, entitled to do busi-
ness here.
There is another extremely important
matter in all this business which has 10 be
dragged piecemeal out of the archives OF
the Commissioners.
The consolidation act of February IL,
1895. united the two cities of Washington
and Georgetown. and extends over George
town all the la ws applicable To Washington.
This confessedly includes the act of 1888
quoted above which prohibits the erection
of overhead wires in GeorgeOtwn.
In all their suits, as it appears by the
papers, the defenda nts, Commissioners, and
Crosby and Lieb, persstenily denied that
they had erected or contemplated the
erection or use of powerhouse in
Georgetown.
The committee on Wednesday, in which
Mr.. Trucsdeli was asked some pointed
questions, brought out the exceedingly
important fact from Mr.. Crosby, in answer
to a question by Mr.. Pitney, that they were
now co nstruciing powerhOuse in George
town TO he used by the company inside OF
Georgetown. 1t also appears that the
electric cars across the aqueduct bridge are
being ru II and certainly not by underground
wires.
A SECRET CONTRACT.
The whole negotiation, as to the accept
ancc of Mr.. Crosby and Mr.. Lieb as an
existing company, to put Mr.. Truesdell in
position to make out his case for the
gentlemen to whom he sold his plant, has
been read everywhere with astonishnient in
Washington and especially the manner in
which he is championing their cause.
The notion has been buzzed around and
will perhaps take shape in the impea chment
OF that official, who permits to be pub

lexington. but who has disdained 10 have
printed the terms OF his contract with
Messrs. Lieb aud Crosby FOR the sale OF his

Hints About Horses.

In cleaning them, if they will not
stand the currycomb well, get five or
ten cent brush made of broom corn,
used for scrubbing in the house; they
are very stiff. If horses are troubled
with the scratches, mix two parts lard
and one part gunpowder thoroughly,
and apply on the place affected; it is
cheap and effective. So manage your
stables as to save all of the urine, as it
is very valuable; have cement floors if
possible. Do not hang harness in
stable if you can avoid it. Do not feed
too much hay, and avoid watering i'm
mediately after feeding horse much
of dinner. If you have whole rye,
you can feed a little, and save expense
and trouble of grinding it, to young
horses only. Use good snaps on lines
and side straps at least, and by so doing
save time, which is money on farm.
Farmers need to be cautioned about
watering horses when heated.-J. w.
Palmer, in American Agricultural.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian tube. When this tube is in
famed, you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out, and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever. Nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inhamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh)
that can not be cured by Halls Catarrh

The Staye SilO,

This is the latest development in silo-
building. 1t was long ago found that a
silo without corners was better than a
square one, and Of course round silo
would hold more according to It's size
and the amount of timber used. The
first of the round silos were made in
the old way, with studding and board
lining. 1t was found 10 be difficult
matter to build in this way, as the
boards had to be sprung on to the cir
cular framework. The latest style is
the stave sio, built like the big water
tanks on the railroads. These have
many advantages, and are undoubtedly
the silo of the future. One advantage
is their cheapness. The slaves are
made of two-inch plank, from three TO
six inches wide, beveled to make the
circle. This last is really the only diff
ficulty about building these silos. The
diameter is about twelve feet, and the
slaves are usually twenty feet long,
ShOush uOcpCi Blu WOulu Uc U6tl6T.
The hoops are of iron, and made with
nuts in two places 80 that the slaves
can be drawn together as tightly as one
desires. Sometimes dowel pins are
used, others match the slaves, but most
do neither. To make the doors q
curved strip is nailed above and below
the hole, then few of the slaves are
sawed off at the top and bottom of the
door, which is best made quite small,
sort Of manhole. The saw should be held
at an angle of about forty-fve degrees,
or little nearer the perpendicular, so
that when the door is in, the pressure
OF the silage will hold it firmly in place.
1t is always best to use well-seasoned
lumber, and then thoroughly paint the
inside with at least two coats of pitch
or coal tar. We do not think it is
good policy to paint the outside of
the slaves. If not painted, the boards
or slaves swell and shrink and let the
air in. 1t looks now as though the
time would soon come when every
farmer would have silo.

Temperature for Churning.

The aim in churning should be to
churn at as low temperature as will
bring the butter in reasonable length
of time, and it is an excellent plan to
keep memorandum of the temper
ature of the cream, the temperature of
the room in which the churning is
done, together with the length of time
of the churning. After such q memo
randum has been kept for awhile, one
will be surprised at its usefulness.
And, in fact, unless one is blessed with
a phenomenal memory, a memorandum
of the dairy operations will be found to
be of benefit Hoard's Dairyman.

AGRICULTURAL.
For the Cure of tuberculosis,

Most gratifying news comes from the
Michigan Experiment Station. In Bull
letin 1873 Professor Grange, who occu-
pies the chair of veterinary science in
the agricultural college, announces that
experiments in curative agents are to
be entered upon at that station. The
animals of the herd which reacted upon
the application of the tuberculin test
are to be used, and the germs are to be
studied in every possible way. We
think this is just what should be done,
and our only wonder is that none of the
stations have undertaken it before. 1t
seems to us that the indiscriminate
slaughter of every animal which reacts
is very crude and unscientiHc method,
and that stations in this country in
blindly following the dictum of foreign
stations that treatment is of no avail,
have committed most serious and
costly blunder. We believe that very
large percentage of the diseased ami
mails are entirely durable, and that if a
part of the money which has been paid
for condemned animals had been used
in putting them into the best known
sanitary conditions with view TO their
permanent cure, much more valuable
results would have been secured. 1t
seems to many deirymen that there has
been strange and unaccountable re-
luctance on the part of veterinarians
and other station officials to attempting
the cure of the disease. The statement
of Professor Grange is case in point.
He says:
AS far as treatment of the dis
order is concerned we must proceed in
a so newhat conservative manner, al
though cases have been brought under
the writer's notice, which were most
convincing, that the disease has been
overcome by the right kind of consti-
tuition and judicious manipulation of
the patient. With this in view, it now
becomes our duty to try TO discover ex-
actly what conditions or surroundings
are necessary to overthrow the army
of invading germs"
We hope that, in course of time, by
study and experiment, progress and
skill in diagnosis will enable practition-
ers accurately to determine durable
cases. Inability to do this is the pres
ent obstacle in the way of overcoming
the disease and saving the COWS. Re-
action affords no clue to the real con-
dition of the animal tested. A decided
reaction is apt to occur in mild cases
durable cases, if any are durable; a
mild reaction is often found in cases
that the autopsy shows are in the last and
hopeless stages of the disease. 1t is
possible that some cows may have been
killed that might have been saved; and
it may be the wiser policy of the state
to take half the value of some of the
condemned animals and expend it in
treating them with view to restoring
them to health rather than to slaughter
all unfortunately and pay the owner
half the value of dead animal.
