During the weeks before and after

Scorched tissues seal the microbe from

penetrating wounds, such as are made

of tetanus bacilli is farm soil. In the
spore stage they cling to hay and 9th

the city. The bacillus multiplies in
the horses intestines away from the
air, but without doing harm. Thence
it finds its way in large numbers to
the street. So lorg as horses continue
to occupy our streets there will al

should be taken against them. Acute
tetanus is practically ALWAYS fatal.

The British Nobility.

Perhaps the three greatest names in
British politics between tina date of the
Reform bill and the year 1870 were Sir
Lord Robert Peel, Lord Palmerston
and Lord job u Russell, and the present
| bearers of the titles of two OF them
are, stran5e to say, in disgrace or IN
der criminal charges. The present Sir
| Robert Peel, not long ago was prison.
or at the bar of London police court,
where he was convicted of crime. The
present Earl Russell is to undergo a
trial before the House of Lords on a
charge of bigamy, for marrying after
procuring a Neyada divorce from his
first wife.
Still, in spite of such cases. the
British nobility is probably sounder
morally and Intellectually, than any
other in Europe. fer the reason, as
Lord Beaconsfield once said. that there
isn't peer in England. who could hon
estly boast of an ancient lineage, and
that the real old families were among
the peasantrv. The wars If the Roses
killed off the barons and lords so thor
oughly that when Henry VII called his
Parliament only % temporal peers could
be found in the kingdom. OF those 90
not five now remain. The modern peer.
age has distinctly modern roots. AS
Be9consfield wrote: I'VE owe the
British peerage to three sources-the
spoliation of the church, the open and
tisgrant sale of honors by the elder
Stuarts and the borough. mongering of
our own times"
The sources of fresh supply have not
always been such as to excite public |
admiration. For example, the duke
doms of Grafton, Richmond and st AL |
bans are due to the relations of Charles |
III with his mistresses. As late as 1881 |
an earldom was created for an illegiti-
mate son of William ". But ever since
Pitts day British prime min.
sters have used their power to create
new peers rather lavishly, and eften for
political reasons. In seven years Pitt
created So lords, drawing them from
me rank OF bankers, merchants, land
owners and contractors. Pitt even took
jew and made peer out of him. Later
premiers have constantly added to the
ranks OF the peerage by elevating rich
,ommouers who have contributed heav-
ly to party funds, or politicians with a
past who needed to be removed from the
House of Commons. or eminent men of
science and letters like Lord Kelvin and
[ennyson, or eminent ciyil-service Of
icials and colonial governors.

The REFoRMER: eRATrLEBoRo. JULY 2 1901


The orchestra is getting tuned up IL
good shape for music over the case OF
Pension Commissioner Evans. Senator
Scott, who had charge OF the New
York headquarters of the Republican
national com nittse last week, ap-
peared Fridoy with a denial of Gen
Sickles' charge that he made cam
paign promise that Evans should be
removed if Mckinley was reelected.
Sickles meets this by producing the
following letter:
My Dear Gen Sickles: Yours of the
Goth to hard and contents noted. or
course it would be impossible for me
to say to you that the president would
not appoint. or that he would appoint,
certain individuals. but think ] can
say safely that | hardly think Evans
will he continued as commissioner,
and have no doubt that the presi
dent and all of us who are interested
iu his election will try to see to it
that there is commissioner Of pen
sions who will be satisfactory to the
old soldiers.
| think this is all that | could say
on that ubject without perhaps en-
harrassing the president, ard possibly
the committee, but | think you can
take it for granted that things will be
about on the line that you suggest.
With kiodest regards. and wishing
you very pleasant trip, ! am, yours
very sincerely, n Scott.
This hartly comes up to line of alb
solute promise, but it was enough so
that Sickles says he spread the state
ment in the west that Evans would
surely 60, and he believes that it was
that aloue that saved Nebraska and |
several other states to the national
ticket. Sickles continues:
These assurances we're ratified by
the President or Nov y, after the
tive soldiers from different parts of
the country, when We visited him at
the White House by appointment to
him upon his re election.
He then stated to US that.it was his
intention to choose successor to
Commissioner Evans at the expiration
IF his term of office.
On June II wrote to President Nc
hinley, directing his attention to the
act that | was placed in very en-
)arrassing position because, on the
assurance of the natioral Republican
had promised prominent
Hrand Army men that Commissioner ,
Evans would not be- reappointed.

But Mckinley promise as Gen Sicklcs
tates it is queer one, for the Office has
o term, but the commissioner is simply
ENJOYABLE, so there can be no "reappoin.-
lent." Either McKinly made no such
romise, or Sckles misremembers its
or the President was talk =
