CANCER AND CATTLE.
Do Human Being. Derive the For
mer from the Latter-It II
Said They Do.

R. Jasper More, Esq, NJ. p, has writ
ten the following interesting letter to
the secretary of the Cancer society:
cat the request of Sir Charles Cam
eron, beg leave to send q suggestion
as to the origin of cancer. which Sir
Walter Foster and others have thought
we'll worth consideration, and to which
I should have drawn attention in the
house had there been any discussion on
tuberculosis, which would have afford
ed the opportunity.
Having for many years as an anna
teur devoted what attention could to
the question, I am happy to think your
society affords chance of theories be-
ing examined. 5.......
'At the annual meeting of the Royal
Agricultural society, held in the rooms
of the Medical society in Hanover
square at the end of last year, a men,
Der said there were many cancerous
cattle, and much cancerous meat eaten,
and that he thought the question of
whether cancer in human beings owed
its origin to this cause should be ex-
amined quite as much as the connection
between tuberculosis in cattle and con-
sumption. I followed him and tried to
draw further attention to the point, but
it seemed to take the president and
council by surprise, and no more was
said. t
"Since then have made considerable
inquiry into the question among farm
ers of all kinds whom could trust.
have inquired, first, whether cancer is
common among cattle, and, secondly,
whether the meat is sold for food when
it is known the animals suffer from it.
'"The result of my inquiries is that
cancer is far more common among cat
tie than tuberculosis; and, secondly,
that the meat of those cattle suffering
from it is generally sold for food.
IF this is the case, it seems to me, as
an amateur, that as the custom is so
prevalent of eating meat underdone, if
the meat is not thoroughly cooked can
Ger may be spread in this way.
"Where cancer is hereditary, might
not this be the first cause?
'The farmers tell me that cancer is
generally found near the lips or the
throat of the COW. The matter may be
kept quiet by them in such cases, in
which the animal seems generally to be
killed and sold for food, often only half
cooked. London Chronicle.

THE ISSUE DEFINED.

The McEnery resolution is roundly
criticised by the opponents of the i'm
perial policy as merely a tub thrown
to the anti-imperial whale-a delusion
and Il snare, holding out but a faint
hope of independence for the Filipinos.
On this point Senator Hoar says:
The McEnery resolution gives no hope of
freedom or liberty of Self-goVernment to
the inhabitants of the Philippines. because
II provides that they shall never have a
part in their own government or become
a part of the United States. 1t is an in
famous declaration-a declaration Simply
that the Louisiana sugar planters shall
never be afraid of the competition of the
Phlllppine a To the Eilipinos the
McEnery resolution will be a message of
tyranny, of hate, of oppression and OF
slaughter.
1t is true the McEnery resolution, by
the uncertainty of its wording, may be
construed as providing for the hold
ing of the Philippines in an uncertain
military status in which they may be
deprived at the will of the President of
free trade with this country as, for in
stance, Hawaii enjoys it. AS the chief
export of the Philippines is sugar, this
is regarded as a move in the interest of
the beet and cane sugar men, whose
agents in the United States Senate are
ever on the alert, and who are believed
20 have been bribed in this manner to
secure their votes for the ratification of
the Spanish treaty.
AS to complete Filipino independ-
ence, while the resolution apparently
holds out the promise, and while I'M
questlonably complete independence
may be granted the Filipinos under its
provisions, yet it is not mandatory in
this respect and the islands may be
held indefinitely under military control
as suits the purpose of the executive
at Washington.
The key to the situation and the
basis of the opposition of the anti-im-
perialists to the McEnery resolution
are not, however, its own vague pro-
visions, but the action of the Senate
Immediately preceding its passage. Mr..
Bacon's amendment to the resolution.
asserting the determination of the Un-
tied States Government to leave the
government and control of the Philip-
pines to the inhabitants of the islands.
as soon as a stable government can be
established, was defeated by the vote of
Vice President Hobart, the vote of the
senators being 20 to 20.

A FRANK ACKNOWLEDGMENT

The Register desires to call the at
tention of those trucking Republican
organs who have been vehemently
denying that their party leaders in the
Legislature contemplated anything rev.
dictionary, to the following frank
statement from no less prominent, re-
spected and influential a Republican
leader than Hon. Presley W.. Morris, Of
the Richie Gazette. In his paper, Mr..
Morris says:
The Wheeling Register is extremely I'M
happy, because Hon. j. A. Oldfeld, of the
House of Delegates, admits that he wrote
a letter. stolen from his desk, in which he
remarked that in certain contingencies,
the Republican members of the Legisla-
ture would organize by themselves, n
would be recognized by the Governor.
The course contemplated by the Repub-
Leans in the Legislature would have been
Justtfiable in case the Democrats had con-
tinued their theft of seats. Mr.. Oldfield
it for aVowing the authorship of the let
ter sneaked away from his desk. 1t is
one by which ne can stand. The Republi-
can party of this State would have been
with him and his fellow members, if they
had been compelled by the conduct of the
Democrats to pursue the course indicated
by him.
This is a frank acknowledgment of
the whole revolutionary programme of
the Dawson-White pirates to GUST
every Democrat in the Senate without
inquiry and regardless of the legality
of his election, and form a combination
with a rump Republican House of Del
| egates, and an UNQUALIFIED endorsement
of the proposed revolutionary outrage,
by n of the most prominent and in
fuential Republican leaders in the
State.
The weak proviso in Mr.. Morris's
statement above, lin case the Demo-
Gratis continued their theft of Seats
will not stand. The Democrats easily
won every contest-there being no
shadow of legal right on the Republi-
can side-and there were no other dis
puted seats.
The extraordinary statement quoted
above must stand as a frank and truth
full acknowledgment of the scheme of
the Republican leaders, which they
have since been SO anxious to deny.
For whatever may be the Hon. Presley
Morris's shortcomings in the way of an
extreme and indiscreet ~partisanship,
which is always on a hair trigger, he
has never been accused of being I'M
truthful, or dishonest.

THE DEATH OF PRESIDENT FAuRE.

In the death of M. Felix Faure, the
French republic loses a President who
appears t have been gifted with that
rare thing among Frenchmen, a cool
and level head.
Despite the overthrow of two minis
tries as a result of the Dreyfus affair,
President Faure held the reins of gov
eminent securely and never permitted
his own skirts to drag in the mud.
He was a brave mar and a careful,
conscientious and apparently capable
and acceptable executive. The French
people will be lucky to secure another
President as wise, safe and strong as
he.
Coming at this time, with the Drey-
fus case unsettled, and liable in a mo-
ment to burst forth anew and involve
the mercurial people of France in a
revolution, the death of President
Faure is peculiarly unfortunate and
fraught with peculiar danger to the
French republic. The rest of the world
will sincerely hope that France will
tied over the immediate future without
trouble, and safely install President
Faure's successor.

THE ORGAN AMI THE DEBT CUES
TION,

The Register, in commenting on the In
telligencer'S reminder of certain charges
that We're made against the Republican
leaders in this State in connection with
the so-called West Virginia deferred GER
tificates, otherwise the Virginia DEBT
question: and the absurd story about a
campaign caucus at Parkersburg deciding
to take up the matter, when 40 such sub
ject was ever mentioned in that caucus.
simply repeats the old falSehood, which
has been exploded several ~times.-Intel-
ligencer.
How, when and where has it been
shown to be false that the Republican
leaders during the last campaign held
a caucus on this subject at Parkersburg
and in return for campaign funds from
Wall street promised to put the debt
scheme through the Legislature if they
should control that body? 1t has been
repeatedly denied by the Intelligencer
and the other organs, but the facts of
the case are too well known and the
proof of their conspiracy in this debt
matter has been too surely and GER
tainly brought home to the Republican
leaders, not only in the last campaign
but previously, to admit of any weight
being attached to these denials.
Surely the Fourteenth street organ
doesn't care to have it's memoir so
soon refreshed concerning a certain
other caucus or this subject held in
the rooms of Mr.. Elkins at the Ruffner
in Charleston during the Legislative
session of 1895, at which our neighbor,
itself. was ably represented.
