The report of the state veterinarian
Of Pennsylvania indicates that active
work is being carried on in that state
looking to the control and elimination
Of animal diseases. The tuberculin
test for cattle has been employed and
infected cattle killed. Attention is
called to the fact that no injuries have
been reported due to the use Of tuber-
culin as test for tuberculosis. The
veterinarian says: Considering the
manner in which the herds to be test
ed are selected and wide distribution
of the work, covering practically all
parts of the state. it would seem fair
to assume from the showing that
many of the most thoroughly infested
herds have been discovered and dis
posed Of and that the percentage of
tuberculosis among cattle at large, is
being steadily and rapidly reduced"
The importance of satisfactory dis
posal Of carcasses of animals affected
with anthrax is insisted upon. Burn
ing is recommended and where this Is
not possible, the carcass should be
covered with lime and deeply buried
in some locality where there is no
danger of communicating streams. The
premises where the anima.' dies should
be thoroughly disinfected. The germs
Of anthrax remain alive for a long
time. injecting the soil of a region and

Enthusiasm in Poultry Raj ing
Next to aptitude, the chief element Of
success in any occupation comes from
enthusiasm. While this remains, i'm
provement is certain; when this is
gone, the man loses rapidly Especial
ly is this the case in the poultry yard,
where one is dealing SO largely with
details, every one of which is absolute
ly necessary for success. The whole
problem rests ON attention bang paid
the flock from two to I'VE times day,
and there's no room for neglect. The
few may find their enthusiasm In beau
ty and symmetry. shading Of feather
and size and style of comb, but tina
majority are boxing all the while in
the nests for substantial returns. A
full egg basket viii always produce
enthusiasm, and for the reason that
this IS so close to the heart Of success
in poultry breeding, the business
breeder may well let the utility side Of
the question occupy his entire thought.

Selecting Layers.-Much has been
written regarding egg type or ,he pick

believe there is something in e. We
believe that a bright, active len. with
a rather loEg. deep body. is better
layer than a sluggish acting. compact
or rounded bodied one. Yet raere Is
tar more in breeding than in selection.
II we want layers we must breed from
noted layers. Like will beget like"
and noted layer will be more likely to
produce layers than poor layer. So
the only way to be sure to get good
layers is to breed them Not only must
the her be good layer hut the cock
must be from the same strain. This

A Developed Cow.-A Virginia Jer-

because she gave such a small quantity
OF milk. In her new owners hands she
developed into a fine cow. giving So

Our correspondent re-purchased her

come to the conclusion that her poor

The New Orleans Morning Star is
Archbishop Chapcllc's organ OF imperi-
alism in the South. In recent issue it
calls the defenders OF the constitution
opponents OF progress" and says:
The foremost Catholic prelates are
heartily in accord with our govern
ment's policy, but no amount OF rea-
able argument will convince the
leading Catholic journalists OF the great
harm they are working to the Church
by their open enmity to our plans for
the future prosperity OF our Pacific pos
sessions" The reason why "the lead
ing Catholic journalists" are opposed to
"our plans" is because they do not be-
,lieve in propagating the gospel by
means OF thorite shells. Oh course, the
foremost Catholic prelate is the apos-
tolic delegate to the Philippine islands
who hopes to pacify the natives by rob-
bling them OF their liberty. Ii he does
not hurry up they win be all "paci6ed'
by McKinley's mercenaries before he
gets there.

ried on by the Anglo axons in Asia
and Africa. The best mules are now
selling at from S15o to $500. Recently
the Mckinley administration purchased
10000 Of them at an average price OF
$Ioo each. In typhoon 800 mules for
the Philippines were lost on the trans
port Siam last month, and about 1000
OF them sold to England were captured
by the Beers At recent meeting in
Mayo, presided over by Michael Davitt,
the following resolution was passed mid
laughter and cheers: Resolved, That
we cannot refrain from expressing our
approval OF the conduct OF some thou
sand British mules in the neighborhood
OF Ladysmith, nor expressing sincere
hope that some fitting testimonial be
made to the common sense OF these in
telligent animals in following the exam
pie OF British soldiers in running into
the camp OF the victorious Beers"

no belief that such contention will
hold"
At this time when the Mckinley adj
ministration has 10000 troops fighting
for expansion beyond the seas it ap-
pears strange that John Hay would
grant the British permission to occupy
American territory for a single day,
Were there no gold in Alaska the Brit
ishers would not have thought of disput-
ing the boundary line. The Ang To-
maniac who is dressed in brief author
ity" as secretary OF state cannot even
temporarily give away one foot OF
United States territory to British land
grabbers without being held responsible
ior his autocratic proceeding. His pre-
decessor, James G. Blaine, would never
have made such concession. Ii the
British lion and his cub are not less
persistent in demanding flimsy claims
OF this kind they may some day have to
deal with an American administration
that is not so plant as the one now in
power. Ii the American people take it
into their heads to annex Canada they
will do SO some day, and England cannot
prevent them. Ii they endorse McKin-
ley's colonial policy next year they can
do no better in the near future than to
gobblc up the British possessions and
get rid OF boundary disputes forever on
this continent. England will learn to
her dismay that the worst thing her
statesmen ever suggested to the United
States was to seize the Philippine Isl
ands for colonial purposes. Ii this re-
public departs from it's traditions and
starts on career Of conquest and spoil
alton it will soon seize the contiguous
territory lying on the other side of an
imaginary line, and all the John Hays
in America cannot save the mother
country" when that time arrives. Let
our Canadian contemporaries make a
note OF what we say.

THE PRESIDENCY FOR A WIFE.

Since the marriage of Admiral Dewey
to Catholic wife the name of the hero
OF Manila is no longer mentioned for
the presidency. The Washington cor
respondent OF the Boston Herald de-
clares that it is the Judgment OF practical
politicians that Dewey has rendered
himself ineligible and is placed in the
same category with Sherman, Sheridan
Blaine and Bland. Commenting on the
remarks of the correspondent the Bos,
ton Pilot says:
In the United States there is no es,
tablished church. Nay. even the fathers
OF our country, the trainers OF Our fed,
era1 constitution, have enacted that there
never can be one, and that all religions
are equally under the protection OF the
law.
No one, in our free land, is supposed
to suffer anything through the action OIL
federal or state law, in lack OF emolu-
ment or honors, for conscicnce's sake
For no federal Office, for no state
Office, is there religious test. The gen
crous and simple hearts Of youth, in
the humblest of our village schools, for
generation after generation have swelled
with pride, as they read and believed the
statement in their school-books, that the
son OF the poorest farm laborer or arti-
san, could make himself eligible for the
highest Office in the land.

it is possible they would not be opposed
to British aggression in Africa so in
tensely as they now are. Ireland is a
thorn in the side OF England and will
cfeckmate her on the chess board OF
Europe while she is being forcibly
robbed and misgoverncd. The reason
why the Irish take no stock in England's
protestations OF friendship for the Unit
ed States is because they know her in
timately for seven hundred years to be
hypocrite Of the first water. No other
people have had the sad experience OF
England's acquaintance for such long
period, and hence it is that the Irish de-
sire no Anglo-American alliance and
are ready to combat it with their lives, if
necessary. For further information on
Irish opposition to England's war in the
Transvaal, read Gladstone's great speech
on the suppression OF the Irish parlia-
mcnt and the passage OF the ubiquitous
act OF uniop which lorcibly links Ire
land to England Tor purposes OF plum
der and profit to the empire.

Joe Choate, our plenipotentiary ex-
traordinary at the court OF St. James,
made speech in Edinburgh the other
day, in which he said: ''In truth your
country and mine are connected by
bonds OF sympathy that were never
closer than they are at this hour. I can
assure you Lord Salisbury's generous
and cordial words at the lord mayors
banquet, yesterday, will meet with a
quick and hearty response beyond the
Atlantic. 1t has been said by great
poet that Peace hath her victories not
less renowned than war; and this iron
clad friendship which now prevails, be-
tween these two kindred nations is her
latest and greatest victory. 1t means
peace, not merely between your country
and mine, but among all the great ma
tons of the earth, and it tends, by adj
vancing civilization, to promote the well
fare of the whole human race" This
passage in Joe's speech has excited un-
favorable comment in the German press.
One OF the Berlin papers says that "it
will be sight for the gods in the future
when the Anglo-Saxon nations, now
outwardly friendly, fly at each others
Threats. Then the navies of Germany,
France and Russia will get on top"

In spite of repeated announcements to
the contrary, it is now positively stated
that the famous Lakes of Killarney have
not yet been sold. Muckross castle and
the surrounding estate, which includes
the most beautiful part of the lake coun-
try, will be put UP at auction on Nov. Fl,
and will be sold to the highest bidder.
1t is limited that royalty itself may take
a hand in the bidding, while Sir Thomas
Upton, Richard Croker, and any num-
Der of Irish-American associations are
also mentioned as probable competitors
for the prize. 1t is expected that the
property, which includes $4,000 acres of
land, in addition to castle costing
$4,000 to build, will bring at least
100000.

The lying London correspondents of
the American press are trying to make
Yankees believe that John Bull with
MS lyddite shells and dum-dum bullets
is, witl1al, a tender-hearted antagonist
OF the Beers. They say that British
agents are doing their best to restrain
Lerothodi and other Basuto chiefs from
attacking the Orange Free Staters. On
the contrary, they are doing all they can
to set the Basutos on the Beers. John
Bull is as sanguiuary to-day as he ever
was and would use the Basutos as aux
lllarles against the Beers at Ladysmit!l
as he used the Indians against the Amer
leans at Saratoga. He is ready to use
every means, fair or foul, to get the
best OF his enemy, and Americans should
remember that fact when reading Lon
don dispatches.

tons, OF increasing territory, accumulat
ing dominion, rapidly and easily ac-
quired wealth, luxurious splendor a
growing separation between the poor

The two organs of imperialism in
Minnesota's capital are the Pioneer
Press and the Dispatch, the latter of
which is edited by an Englishman and
the former by a Canadian. That ex-
plains why they are so intensely British
in their editorial utterances. Being the
subsidized organs of the corporations,
they advocate the conquest of the Fill
pinos for the benefit of syndicates, and,
being thoroughly British, they cast their
influence with Chamberlain and Rhodes
in their predatory war in South Africa

No question OF Lofty lineage: no prop

No question OF lofty lineage; no prop
erty qualification; no religious test!
But, today, after over hundred years
OF American freedom, born American
the foremost OF American soldiers, the
hero OF one OF the greatest naval
achievements Of modern times, comes
back from his, victories, to triumphal
professions, and all the honors, and gifts
OF grateful people. He is hailed as
Our future soldier-president, as Wash
ington, or Jackson, or Grant was; and
all is we'll, until it becomes known that
he is about to take unto himself a
Catholic wife.
Mind! There is no question OF Ad-
miral Dewey's own religion. He is an
Episcopalian, as Washington was; yet
he might be Presbyterian, Method
list, Unitarian, nay, a Theosoplist or
a quiet atheist, and it would not in the
least impair his prospects.
But in this free land, with no estab-
lished church, with all religions profess
sedly equal before the law, there is one
church, the Catholic, under the ban.
Not only may the actual candidate for
the presidency not belong to that
church, but goodbye to his chances ii
vile or child or brother or parent is a
member OF it. All his soldier-record, all
his statesman record, were they greater
than Waslington's, or Jackson's, or
Lincoln's, or Grants, or Dewey's, are,
it is taken for granted, wiped out at
once.
Is this monstrous thing true? For
our part we doubt it, and we believe
that if the Democratic party were to
nominate Dewey for president, he would
win in 1900 with as big majority as
honest Grover Cleveland had in 1892
were his wife the devout sister of the
pope himself.
But if through fear of that bug a-boo
that prejudice with the force of law"
as Daniel Dougherty called it, no politi-
cal party should have the courage to
nominate the one man who today could
unite all parties, it is high time that the
Catholics Of the United States began a
determined agitation against the politi-
cal prescription to which they are sub
jectcd.
The Catholics OF England number
much less than two millions. Yet they
have inaugurated campaign against the
coronation oath; and are not placated
when it is pointed out to them that one
OF their number fills the office of lord
chief justice, that another is postmaster
general, and that still another has been
viceroy of India.
Shall the co-religionists of Charles
Carroll of Carrollton, of Commodore
Barry and General Sheridan-wl1o num-
Der at least twelve millions-endure
without a protest prescription that
sacrifices the political prospects of the
country's foremost man not to his own
conscience, but to his wife's conscience?
