THE WORK OF CONFESS.

The first season of the Fify-ninth
congress, while an Improvement
upon its predecessors in SO far, as the
enactment of laws provi ing for
po, lection OF the public against the
Weilnigh intoIerable outrages of
gigantic corporate interests is con-
cerned, was nevertheless a disap-
poiAtment. 1t is true that the ses-
sion was characterized by a moie
noticeable disposition to pass anti
trust legislation ,and credit should be
given for that, such as it is. The
railroad rate bill does not go SO far
as was hoped. l t remains TO be seen
how much feet it will have in the
correction OF abuses long practIcsd
by the raili Dads. Ii viii be an im-
prOvement on the Old order ofthings

needs aud p otect the shipper and
CONSUMER from the ola uses there
is good reason to believe a more
sweeping law will be framed later.
The rate bill was the most import
ant measure before congress. 1t af-
fectei more people, and upon it de-
pended the greatest Interests of the
country, not even excepting the
pure food bill. This, too, will
doubtless prove of distinct value in

Stevens and officer Jack Fulghum.
1t WAS noised about the city that
Johnson would be in on that train,

prisoner. 1t is estimated that the

and the train was stopped at the
crossing near Mr.. g. W. Browns

where hack was in waiting, and
Johnson was driven to the jail by

negroes had anticipated this and

above place.
When the crowd in front of the
Kennon learned that johnson was
taken eft in the Northern part of the

arriving there about the time the
hack did.

court yard and surrounded the hack
and it was with much difficulty that
the prisoner was taken from the
hack by the officers, and the Sheriff
and his deputies had their hands full

The Advantage of Inspection.
A part of this report is a letter dated
April 8, 1906, from A. D. Melvin, chief
of the bureau of animal industry, in
which he says, commenting on the
sanitary conditions:
From personal observation | know
that sanitary conditions at abattoirs
where this bureau maintains inspec
ton, while not always sanitary, are
| much superior to those at the average
establishment without such inspec
tion."
Further, he says he knows thai
many diseased animals are mo-
shipped to market centers where in
spection is maintained. He advises
the most rapid extension of the in
spection possible, and says the de
mand for inspection is much greater
than can be supplied.

that in any slaughter house, n
