MYSTERIOUS CATTLE DISEASE.
Many Animals Die Of Starvation Al.

Bangor, Pa, Nov. 16.-The most
mysterious case of starvation, among
cattle with good appetites, that are
well fed, which the state veterinarians
have ever encountered, has been re-
Lorted by Farmer NJ. o. Reagle, nea
here. He has lost sc cows in that
way, and neighboring farmers have
suffered similar. but not such extern,
sive losses.
The first of Reagle's cows to die of
the mysterious ailment baffled veterin.
Gry surgeons several years ago, and
since then the malady has repeatedly
manifested itself, always with fatal
results, in his herds and those of his
neighbors.
Last week two experts from the uni.
versity of Pennsylvania visited Mr..
Reagle's farm and made a post-mor.
ten examination of one of the ami.
mails, but were unable to discover what
lad caused the sickness, for they
found all the vitais of the COW in 4
perfectly healthy condition. Now one

ESTIMATING the present condition of
Democratic presidential timber, the Erie
Dispatch says: The Democratic national
political situation seems to be about like
this: Bryan practically eliminated /;
Cleveland generally opposed by Southern
Democrats a strong southern sentiment
favorable TO Judge Parker, of New York,
for The strange reason that he has had no
political record, and is, therefore, consid-
cred quite Irregular - also a strong senti-
ment favorable to Senator German. 1t
begins to look as though the race
would be between German and Parker,
with the chances more favorable TO the
latter on the ground of expediency.
Meantime, all indications point to the in
creasing popularity of the f~orceful Re-
publican President throughout the South.

THE Democratic attitude on the negro
question is, first, the negro is so inferior
TO the white man that no should not have
the right TO vote and second, the negro
is making such progress that the whites
are threatened with negro domination.
In This connection it is interesting to
know that while forty years ago no g
IN the South owned a foot of ground.
there are now 1870, 600 farms valued at
s3oO,OOO 600 and owned by negroes. Be-
sides this, 10000 homes, valued at $685.
ooo'ooO and personal property worth about
sloo,OOO, 600. Alter the war not one per
cent. OF the adult negroes could read or
"rite' to-day 40 per cent. can do so. Fifty
per cent. OF the children are attending
school and more could do so If g were
facilities. There are 800 colored pbvsic-
ians. 300 lawyers and 10000 school teach
ers. The colored people own and publish
400 newspapers aud magaz mes. In view
of the handicap under which they started
and the limited opportunities they have
had, ii seems that their progress has been
quite in keeping with that of the great
nation to which they belong. Those who
are not jealous of their prosperity and do
not fear their competition, congratulate
them on what they have accomplished.
What aren't folly to spend millions in
missionary work upon the negroes of
Africa and yet try to repress their plo-
gress and prosperity at home.
