Nonsense About Microbes.

6tstss-
Our sanitary scientists continue
to indulge in q great deal of TOM
myrot about microbes and becilli
which seems to infest everything,
in their opinion, that we eat,
drink or touch. People are warn
ed against holding q hand strap
in q street car, or kissing, and q
thousand and one other things,
for fear OF contracting q large sup
ply of microbes or bacilli. If one
millioneth part of what is said
about these germs were true the
human race would have persisted
from the earth long ago and there
would be none of us here to dis
cuss the subject. In spite OF this
self-evident fact there are any
number of people who live in con-
slant fear and trembling lest they
come in contact with q mi
crobe and join the angel hand,
God Almighty has so arranged
thing1 that after we have read oul
lines and played the part assign
ed US, we are shued of the stage
to make room for others, and that
| il the end Of the matter, in spite
of the war and the warning against
germ. Millions of people have
died young and as many more
lived to . ripe old age log before
we ever heard of such things a
microbes, and there will no chang'
in the order Of things until tim'
is no more. There has been some
advance in the science of medi
cine, but it is entirely overshadow
I'd which appears to accompany ii
ami with which all the sanitar!
scientists ere horribly afflicted.

LYNCH LAW.

For what are laws madeP BY
whom they should be enforcedr
There ia hardly q day passes but
what we read of some unfortunate
wretch being lynched. burned. or
otherwise disposed of for some
wrong done, or some imaginary
crime which be il thought to have
committed. We are supposed to
live in 1 country where q man is'
innocent until proven guilty. And
where Q man, black or white, can
have q fair chance of proving his
innocence. But Is this q fact? Do
men have this chance? We ell
know to the contrary, and We also
know that it is degrading to the
residents of any state to have the
impression set aAoat that it is q
state in which q man cannot get
liustice, or where the law is entire
ly ignored. and taken into the
hands of citizens. Therefore, lei
us see that our laws are not disre-
garded and that q man charged
with crime be tried, and if found
guilty, punished as the law di
Irects, and not hanged until Il
: men have said he was guilty aftel
hearing the facts and weighing
same. Then, and not until then
shall justice be done, and our PEG
pie be permitted to feel that the.

Molasses % Stock Feed.

Molasses % Stock Feed.
6othern Farmer.
On many Louisiana sugar plan
tations the use of molasses as
stock feed during the last two
years has practically revolution
lied the stock feed question. There
is little use in a Louisiana planter
producing corn, although it is q
valuable stock feed, when he is
either throwing his molasses into |
the bitches or selling it at 2 cents |
q gallon, which is practically eqai-
valent being on the basis of but 9
cents . bushel for corn, when
pound for pound it has about
equivalent value with corn for
stock feed.
Scores of plantations are now
utilising . large part of their mo-
lasses for this purpose, and there
| is nd doubt but that finally those
planters who find themselves una
BILE to consume at home, or among
their tenants all the molasses
they make, will buy cattle and
hogs, to which to feed this valua-
BILE by-product, worth. in actual
money on the plantations, as
against corn, at least s cents per
gallon in bulk.
It is true that molasses does not
constitute q balanced ration, az
our agricultural chemists call it,
} it lacking Undergraduates
Corn, however, constitute an sl.
, most equally unbalanced ration
We may in time learn to utiliss
cotton-esed meal in. connection
! with molssses, the meal being I
I very highly heterogeneous food. I'm
til we shall learn to do this ou1
> best course is to feed our stock OF
|. oats and molasses, the molasse'
taking the place entirely of corr
and the oats making up the some
what detective ration, 80 far .
efficiency for working stock is con
o cerned.
Il Were it not for the difficulty o
Il retaining large amounts of molaa
), ses on the plantations its us
t. would be practically universe
L. and none would be offered at th
p ruinously low prices that it bring

THE SUGAR CLAUSE
In The New Tariff Bill
Raises A Row,
NUMBER OF SENATOR'S DECLARE
1T IS FRAMED IN THE
TRUSTS INTEREST.
They Will Defeat Ii If Possible And
The Majority Is Likely To
Be Great Enough To
Accomplish Their
Purpose.

New York, May ia special to the
Herald. from Washington, says:
The sugar schedule of the tariff bill,
as framed by the Republican members
of the Senate finance committee, in the
interest of the trust, is doomed to de-
feat
Including seventeen senators who are
absent and whose views could not be
ascertained, the Senate stands thus:
Against the schedule and trust, Al; for
the schedule, 6; non-cOmmittal, Is; not
classified, 10: vacancies, 2; total men,
bership, 80; majority against schedule
and trust. A careful canvass of
the United States senate on the
amended sugar schedule shows a clear
majority against the scedule as IL
stands at present and if not material
lily amended TO lessen the protection of
the trust, the adoption of a general
antitrust amendment will follow. OF
the IS senators comprising the absent
membership of the Senate, 62 were
seen.
These are the senators who will vote
against the sugar schedule as report
by the senate finance committee: Al
len, Bacon, Bate, Berry, Butler, Caf-
cry, Cannon, Carter, Chiffon, Clay
CockreL, Davis, Faulkner, Frye, Har-
ris, of Kansas; Harris of Tennessee;
Jones, of Arkansas; Lindsey Lodge
Mcbride, McEnery, Mantle, Martin,
Mills, Morgan, Nelson, Pascoe, Perk-
ms Pettigrew, Pettus, Roach, Smith,
Stewart, Tillman, Turner, Turpie, Wal
thalI, Warren, White and Wilson.
There are forty-one senators in this
and there. are six others who could
not be seen. They are Messrs. Dan
iel, Earl, George, Kenney, Teller and
Vest.
These are the senators in favor of
the finance committees change: Aid
rich, Allison, Morril, Platt, (of Con-
necticutD Quay, Sewau.
These are the senators who are non
committal on the sugar schedule: Ba-
kerr Burrows, Chandler, Cullom, De-
Doe, Elkins, Fairbanks, Foraker, Gal
linger. German, Hansbrough, Hawley,
Hoar, Murphey. Prtchard, Shoup,
Spooner, and Wilmington.
Two of the senators classed as in ia
vor of the schedule, Mr.. Allison, of To-
wa. and Aldrich, of Rhode Island, were
not seen, both being absent from the
city. Senator MorriI, of Vermont, was
non committal but he can safely be
cIassed as in favor of the schedule.
1t will be seen that if all of those
who were non-committal and not clas-
sified should vote in favor of the SUI
gar schedule in it's present form it is
still doomed to defeat. There is no
doubt that the majority against the
schedule will be much larger than that
given above. Practically the solid
Democratic and Populist votes will be
against it and several Republicans
who are non-committal and not clas-
sified win be in the same column.

here as the western representative of
the Cuban junta in this country, is au-
thority for the statement that 1,450
men have been recruited for the Cuban
army in Kansas City and vicinity and
are now waiting to be transported to

already made their way to the gulf
coast, he says, and arrangements have
been made to send them to Cuba be-
tween now and fall when the yellow
fever season in Cuba will have been
passed. Col. Hartman also stated
that an American volunteer legion of
$4,000 men is now being recruited at
various points in this country for SER

THE FIGHT PICTURES.

New York, May 12.-The first exhi-
bition of the verascopeic pictures of
the Fitzsimmons-Corbett fight will
take place in New York Saturday at
one of the largest theatres.
The pictures were copyrighted in
London and Paris and in a few days
will be on exhibition in every city in
the United States. The pictures are
perfect and such a complete reproduce
ton of the fight that those who see
them will see as much as those who
went to Carson City.
One of the most interesting parts of
the verascOpiC production is the crowd
about the ring. In many instances the
faces of widely known sporting men
can be recognized.
