KILL THE RATS.

The appearance of the bubonic
plague at Havana, a point only a
short distance from Louisiana with
which we have frequent communica.
ton, should lead Louisiana people to
take every sensible precaution
against the means of spreading it.
The most common is the rat. What
the mosquito is to malaria, and the
house fly is to typhoid, the rat is to
the bubonic plague.
This is so well known that the
first efforts of a threatened country
is to rid itself of rats. During Cali
fornia's fight against the plague, and
Incidental to it, the rats We're practi-
cally eXterminated i'm that state.
Porto Rico is wiping them out now,
as fast as bounty of five cents
apiece cam do it.
The mere fact that Havana now
has one case of bubonic plague, and
it is suspected had several previous.
ly that had a fatal result, need cause
us no worry or particular concern.
But it cannot be denied that in the
colony of rats, which appears this
year to be larger than ever, We
have the means at hand of spreading
the disease should it be brought here
from Havana by some stowaway rat.
1t would only be wise to start a war
of determination now. They are nui-
sances and costly nuisances, too and
even if the precautions proved need
less We should be the gamers by
their determinations Charles

RESOLUTION FOR TAKING
BOXES TO WASHINGTON
Expenses viii be Charged to Contin
gent Fund of House.
Especial to the Bulletin.

Washington, March 16-The house
committee on elections yesterday au-
thorized the chairman to introduce in
the house d resolution directing the
production of the ballot boxes in the
contested election case Of Higgins
and JodOin, before the committee in
this city and to charge the expenses
to the contingent fund of the house.
When the boxes arrive, and on a
day set by the chairman, the attor-
neys representing both parties and
some person to be selected by the
committee, will open the boxes and
separate the undisputed ballots from
those upon which the contest is bas-
ed, these will be submitted to the
committee for their consideration.
Mr.. Higgins said he should insist
that the boxes be safeguarded while
in transit from the custody of the
notary in New London to this city.
AS q matter of fact the meeting
Of the committee was called to take
up an Iowa contest case, and the
Connecticut case came up incidently
There was no motion made or reso-
luton introduced and what was done
was in a very informal manner and
by mutual consent.
Chairman Goldfogle left for New
York last night without having q
chance to put in the resolution. He
said he would attend to that when
he returned next week.
A democratic member Of the com
mittee said last that that he should
insist on the records of the com
mittee showing some sort of reso-
luton or motion before the boxes
were brought down here. 1t is like
