THE I'm ,TERNITY FEELING.

The Dispatch does not understand that
tba President has committed himself In
his southern speeches to any measure OF
relief for disabled Confederate soldiers.
The tone of several OF the addresses
which he made indicated kind feeling Tor
our veterans, but unless we have over
looked some expression Of his, his only
suegestion of help has been that the
North should join the South in caring
Tor southern soldiers graves.
We presume he meant that he would ap-
prove any appropriation made by Con-
eress for that purpose; but "e have no
right 70 so fsfther and assume that he
fayors Federal aid for our disabled OIL
acers and men. If that be his position
ne win make II clear hereafter. Mean
while. II would not be becoming IN US 10
ask for such relief. If it is TO come at an
and we do not expect that 1t Wilt
should come as the spontaneous oner Oh
the North TO tho South. 1t should be the
freo-w1u Offering of the reunited country
of which the President has spoken, to the
aged and crippled men who added so
much glory 10 AmtilN"HS
valor. Il,
Considering what an immense draft OF
money there has been from the south
20 the North 10 help pay pensions 10
Union soldiers, their widows and orphans
Congress might well afford to make a
very liberal contribution In support OF
Confederate soldiers homes. But we re-
peat, whether it shall do so or not Is Tor
ths northern people TO decide. 1t seems
10 us that In a matter such as this, there
should be no urging from US. The most
we should do would be TO show our APP
probation Of the sentiments towards ex-
confederates uttered by the President
on his southern tour, and 10 express the
hope that his friendly feelings are en-
dorsed by the northern people.

HOW IONGt

How long, oh. how long! are our people
10 be subjected TO recurring visitauons OF
-malodorous. choking, misunderstanding
gas? or. rather. how long are they going
To submit to these visitations? How long
are they going to accept explanations
and excuses in lieu Of permanent cure OIL
and immunity from the evil? Some weeks
aro. when the Richmond gas became In
tolerable, and evoked complaints loud
and deep. the people were asked TO have
a little patience, and were promised b a
the trouble would be remedied. That
promise was kept, but only for a snort
season. Now things ave dropped back
10 the old condition. and our last stage
threatens to be worse than our first.
Again. we are the victims Of gas that Is
so abominable that both in respect OF
light-gfying quality and odor, it is a good
advertisement for kerosene.
We were about to say that the IIch-
mond gas question is a burning question:
But that would not altogether fit the case.
one great trouble with the Richmond gas
Is that much of it that passes through
the burners is not consumed. 1t escapes
in the form Of impurities to vitiate the at
mosphere, offend the n%ostrils, and menace
health. But all the same the consumer
pays as much for it, If not more, than he
does for the gas that is consumed.
When the Dispatch says hat this matter
has reached a point at which patience
ceases TO be a virtue, and further tempo
rizing should not be put up with. it voices,
IL believes, the sentiment Of nearly every
gas consumer in the community. Per-
manent elimination of the trouble at tho
gas-works is within reach. 1t lies In
securing the advice and assistance Of an
expert gas engineer. and 'twere well this
fact were realized quickly.

The question on this subject raised by
Mr.. Bailey. Of Texas. is now fairly be-
fore a committee of the House of Repre-
scntatives.
Certainly II seems the United states

who holds a commission in the army Is

In view Of the extreme probability thai
this country will hereafter MAINTAIN an

know whether or not persons holding the
Presidents commissions will be allowed

time TO settle this matter once for ALL
If that be possible. Moreover. we be-
lieve that our brave and upright friend
the heroic General Wheeler, will clearly
understand the necessity for a decision
Of the question, and viii take no olence
at Mr.. Bailey's movement. The fact Is
that Mr.. Bailey's resolutions were based
not upon any act of General Wheeler's'
but upon an act Of a northern member s.
though it is, Of course, true that the
same ruling would affect both. 1t hap

THE "CoRNsTALK DISEASE"

Dispatch correspondents in different
sections Of the state have reported re-
comfy that the farmers. in fear of an
expected unusually cold and long winter
are outstanding large quantities OF lou-
der for cattle food.
In view of this situation, 1t may not
ne m,t Of place to call the attention OF
the farmers to the result OF the lnVesu-
cations made by Veterinarian Repp' OIL
PHILADELPHIA. into the cattle disease that
Is prevailing in some counties in Pennsyl-
vania.
DIR. Repp found that the malady was
not anthrax. as was at first supposed, but
tho "cornstalk disease He says that
this disease has only recently been made
the subject of expert study in the United
states and its origin has not been fully
established. Some authorities, DR.. Repp
states claim that it is caused by mi
crobes: Others thai it is produced by a
fungus. which grows on the leaves and
stem of the cornstalk. His own inves-
tigation leads him to recommend that
fodder be fed sparingly to cattle until
they become accustomed to it.
In connection with the fungus growth
theory, it may be remarked that lately
the weather conditions have been such
as would probably tend to develop such
growth. However, be the cause OF the
disease what it may, the Philadelphia
veterinarian has thrown out suggestions
which IN IA the least, our farmers
could not err in considering.

HoRsON,S KISSING TOUR.

At Kansas City, Mo, Monday night
Nayal-Constructor Hobson kissed AZ wo-
men. ard now each kissee is claiming
that she was "Hobson's choice
Perhaps we ought not TO say 1t, but
NAV be each one was. This Hobson
kissing fad has gotten to a stage at which
the poor fellow has mo choice" and that
IS the real meaning of "Hobson's cholce'
Some Of our contemporaries are as
posed to comment upon Hobson's kissing
performances out West as undignihed'
This is unkind. The fact seems to be
that wherever he has met a crowd OF
western women he has been confronted
with the necessity Of kissing his way
through or running, and our view is that
the kissing-through act has involved less
loss OF dignity than the running act would
have involved-provided, Of course, the
kissers were good looking.
