THE RICHMOND Dispatch says

"On account of the increasing num-
her of cases of rabies in this country,
the tendency of the day is to increase,
rather than diminish, the strictness OF
police supervision over dogs kept in
cities"
If the Dispatch be speaking by the
card it, should win the large prize Of
fered by reliable physician of Wash
ington for a we'll authenticated case OF
hydrophobia either in dog or man, a
of the increasing number" of such
cases, it should certainly be able to pick
out one that is authentic. No body
else has ever succeeded in doing so.
That dumb rabies" is myth, has been
demonstrated in this city, where dog
pronounced by several experts as ex-
hibiting all the pathognomonic symp'
oms of that so called disease a year
ago, is now in as perfect health as ever.
Sheep killing dogs in the country re-
quire more police supervision; not dogs
in cities that protect their owners
houses against burglars.

DEVASTATING FLOODS.

Alarming reports of q constant in.
crease in the volume Of water in the
lower rivers are being rereived at st.
Louis. Rain has fallen over large
section of the lower Mississippi basin
for twenty-four hours, and at many
points where levees held back the flood
by only few inches margin there will
surely be disastrous breaks. Should
the levees protecting Cairo give way
the city would become an island, with
railway tracks the only barriers against
the flood. The Cotton Belt track to
Birds Point was eighteen inches above
the water yesterday morning. In
southeastern Missouri, northern Arkan-
sas portions of Iowa and South Dakota
the country is overlooked and many
lives are reported lost. At Modoc,
Ark, south of Helena, the water is with
in few inches of the top of the levee,
with the river rising The people were
warned and fled to the hills. The flood
has already done great damage. Adj
vices from Memphis state that the
work of rescuing the people in the
flooded district is being carried on night
and day, and yesterday morning half
a dozen steamers took to Memphis
over 1000 refugees. The steamb boat
men tell some narrowing stories
of suffering and death. One woman
who was rescued from an Indian mound,
fifteen miles west of there, held in her
arms a dead infant that had persisted
from cold and hunger. Another family
of four, when rescued, related that two
small children were drowned in sight
of their helpless parents. Islands Nos.
40. 81. sc and 81, in the Mississippi
river are completely submerged and the
inhabitants, to the number OF about
GOO have abandoned their homes.

A NAN with disposition to bolt,
even if ne have not had it excited to
the effective point, like horse predis-
posed to run away, can never be relied
upon and is always cause of uneasi-
ness. Mr.. Hoke Smith was strongly
disposed to follow Mr.. Cleveland's ex-
ample last year and bolt his party's
ticket, and was only prevented from
doing so by the fear of personal conse-
quences in his own State. He now
says, eff Mr.. Bryan be nominated again
on the same platform will not vote
for him." Having so expressed him
self. Mr.. Smith, for the sake of his own
reputation as an honorable man, should
not take part in the primaries for the

as all intelligent democrats, who esteem
their reputation of more value than
money, agree with Mr.. Cleveland's
words, but not with his acts, that hav-
ing submitted question to such a con
vention, they must abide the arbitrs-
ment thereof.

FRIDAY EVENING, MAR 10, 1897

In THE difference between the mayor
and the Police Commissioners, the orig
;nal cause thereof, in the slang Ian
puage, is not sin it," the issue having
assumed the question of the advisable
ty of an imperium in imperio, which,
of course, must be answered in the
negative. The Mayor is not only
right by the law, as stated by the Cor
poration Attorney, but by a precedent
so old as to have classical origin. The
Mayor of New York has just exercised
his indisputable authority to remove
even a respectful police commissioner
of that city, let alone disrespectful po-
liceman, and the Mayor of Alexandria
could do the same if so disposed-.he
has the constitutional right to do so. The
Police Commissioners have the right to
remove, but not to suspend a po-
liceman, but the Mayor has. A
double headed police force is q
municipal monster; in such force,
as in love, lone must rule and one
slone,n as otherwise discipline in gone,
and without discipline no order can be
properly executed and effectiveness is
entirely destroyed.

NATIONAL AFFAIRS.

Speaker Reed has definitely decided
that for the present, at least, he will
not appoint any of the regular COM
mittees of the House, beyond the
three already announced. In this way
all miscellaneous legislation will be
blocked, and the entire attention OF
the House focused on the tariff bill.
The committee on rules of the House
held meeting yesterday with all the
members present. 1t was determined
to report an order under which the
four appropriation bills which failed in
the Fifty-fourth Congress will be pass
ed to-day. These bills are the sundry
civil, the deficiency, the Indian and the
agricultural. They were all introduced
by Mr.. Cannon on Monday, with slight
changes from the form in which they
went to the President or were left be-
fore Congress. The order agreed to
provides that they should be consider
ed in turn Immediately after this morn
ing's routine. Forty minutes debate
will be allowed on each and then
vote will be taken. Under this pro-
gramme all will be passed by o'clock.
1t was also agreed that the tariff bill
should be made special order for
Monday and the discussion continued
until March 81, when vote will be
taken. 1t is understood that night ses-
sions will be held in order to accommo-
date members who desire as much time
as possible to debate the measure.
The ways and means committee of
the House made some changes in the
t,rf bill yesterday, all of which were
approved by the republican members.
Democrats are not agreed upon the
manner in which they should fight the
tariff bill. Some favor passive resist
ance, while others advocate the most
determined opposition.

THE republicans are so much inter
ested in the welfare of the Virginia
farmers that they have imposed tax
of fifteen cents 8 bushel on corn and
twenty-five cents bushel on wheat
neither of which is ever imported, for
the good reason that the home supply
OF both is so large and is sold at such
cheap rates, that there is no demand
for the foreign growth of either. Corn
and wheat are exported, not imported.
The republicans have a very poor
opinion of the intelligence of the aver
age farmer.

demned to die tomorrow for the muir
der of Pearl Bryan, have made full

history of the meeting of Jackson and
Walling. Pearl Bryan was written to

ton performed. She was met and
taken to the house OF DR.. Wagner.
Jackson was sent to the drug store to
get prescription filed, which he gave
her in big dose. from the effects of
which she died. DR.. Wagner procured
hack and all three got in and drove
to Fort Thomas. The hack was
stopped on an incline. All got out
and Jackson held the dead body of
Pearl Bryan in his lap while DR.. Wag.
ner cut her head of. DR.. Wagner then
took the head, wrapped it in the girls
cloak and placed it in her satchel. They
we're then all driven to Cincinnati,
where they separated. DR.. Wagner af-
terward became insane. Jackson and
Walling claim they do not know where
Pearl Bryan's head was placed or what
became OF it.
LEXINGTON, KY, March 19.-Dr.
Wagner is convalescent patient at
the insane asylum here. When informed
of the confession last night he said {:

CoRBETT AND FITZsIMMoNs.-At
Carson, New, yesterday, Stakehold-
or Al Smith turned over the purse
and side bets to Martin Julian in Dan
Stuart's office. William A. Brady, Sec
rotary Wheelock and few reporters
were present when the transfer was
made. After the checks were handed
over to Julian, Brady renewed his offer
made Wednesday evening to back Cor
bett against Fitzsimmons for $4,000.
Julian's reply was evasive. He init
mated that FitZsimmons would soon
retire from the tistic arena, and, judg-
ing by expressions uttered by the
champion, it is not improbable that
this will be the programme. All along
Fitzsimmons has asserted that this was
the last time that he would undergo
the ordeal of training. Fitzs reply to
Corbett after they had shaken hands in
Bob's corner Wednesday indicated that
the Australian was thinking of retiring.
you've licked me fair and square,"
said Jim. NOW I want you to give
me another chance"
The champion replied coldly: 81 will
not fight you again.
"Then will punch you in the head
the first time meet you on the street,"
was Corbett's retort.
"If you do" answered Fitz, with a
bitter smile and in an even tone, II
will kill you"
