The Syracuse Journal comes with this
frightful tale:
There is no doubt that the carcasses
OF not few cows condemned and killed
as tuberculous in this vicinity in the
past year or so. have been sold for
beef. consequently many people have
partaken OF the meat unconscious of
the fact that the animal had been af-
fiicted with the disease. That such is
the case is well known to the authori-
ties"
Well, IL nobody save the authorities"
knew of the sale of this beef. and no
harm came to anybody who used 1t, or
they would have surely known it-then
what is the use of killing cows for tu-
berculosis? II is time the unutterable
humbug came to an end. Here in
Rhode Island the state treasury is
drawn upon for money year after year.
And for what good? Better give the
money to the state fair.

Andrew B. Duvall. the Attorney for the
District has submitted to the Commits
sioners an opinion upon the application of
M. B. Newman. requesting Information
concerning the payment of taxes on prop
erty purchased by him April 1S. 1893, at
tax sale. In his review Of the case the At
torney concludes:
"A purchaser at the tax sale of 1899 ac-
quired no vested continuing right under
that section In respect TO the payment OF
subsequently accruing taxes. One of the
subjects of that provision in said section
was, In this way, 10 obtain for the murici-
pality the. payment OF taxes against prop
erty sold at tax sale. II pS5 found by
experience that the provision was undesi-
rable and the law was accordingly amend
ed. Moreover, it viii be observed that the
provision imposed burden on the owner
or agent of the property, and was designed
primarily as a benefit for the purchaser at
the tax sale.
Il am OF the opinion that the amend
ment took effect as of its date upon all tax
sales. whether made prior or subsequent
thereto"

Charles Harbaugh, Secretary Of the
Brookland Citizens Association, recently
called the attention of the Commission
ers TO the condition of the sidewalk of
Twelfth Street Brookland. after rains,
and asked that the matter be properly at
tended to- Mr. Harbaugh stated that it
was the wish of the association that the
proper officials take such action in the
matter as would render this walk perma
nently free from accumulations OF earth.
He states that as he understands the law
of March 2, 1897, it lies in the power of
the Commissioners to take such steps as
will keep the walk in question clean
throughou; its entire length.
In reporting upon the matter, the As
SCISSOR made this statement: The law
provides that property owners shall clean
off dirt. sand gravel, or other refuse
matter and makes no provision :or the
prevention of this nuisance. 1t seems to
me that it provides an indirect penalty

Vague Remarks.

Ed. The INDEPENDENT
Kindly allow me to insert few
lines in your valuable paper.
Since the outbreak Of bubonic
plague at this port every body knew
that Honolulu was an infected port,
mails, pkges Of every descriptions
that goes to the United States must
be fumigated and even passengers
must be examined every day at the
Consul General Office by the fed
eral officers.
So far l know that there was no
plague-in Hongkong, Kobe and Yo-
kohama, but the local authority
have to fumigate every packages that
came from those ports, and the
Nippon Maru mails must undergo
to days fumigation with sulphur
before its distribution and at the
same time Hong Kong Maru mail
from this infected port for the
Orient don't need any fumigation at
the Post Office.
Now it is cleared to say that if
there is an outbreak Of bubonic
plague in China and Japan, it is the
Postmaster General guilty to make
it in difference it is white skins in
the coast should not die of plague,
and it is the yellow faces in Oriental
countries that must die of plague.

Ed. The INDEPENDENTS:
The old adage is that history re.
peats itself, but like everything else
under our immaculate missionary
government adages don't prove true.
The present government, their back
ers the planters and all the slave
drivers of Hawaii band together and
seek to be admitted into the fold of
the Republican Party whose found
alton was opposition to slavery. [
quote a brief sentence from Swim
toms Condensed U. S. History refer
ring to 1854 during the Administra-
ton of President Pierce During
this period the party opposed to the
extension OF slavery increased in
numbers very much. The old whig
party was now broken up and there
was a reorganization of parties.
Those opposed to the extension of
slavery became known as the Repub-
lican Party" What is their reason
they think that the Republican
Party will for sometime remain in
power and that through paid agents
in the Senate and elsewhere they
can KEEP all the offices here.
