—The swill-milk question is creating great excitement; in No w York! St.Louis, Cincinnati, and other cities. We have no room for details of the examination,or the horrid statements of tho cows. -A distinguished chemistBaye: — "We have thus, proven from weil established chemical facts, that swill milk is of less specific gravity than human milk, that it is said white pare milk is alkaline, that swill milk contains less butter, less caseine, less sugar, and more earthy salts than pure milk; and that in all of those particulars its tendency is from the composition of human milk, and. not ftnrard it. If one knew nothing of physiology, be might- confidently assert, from this chemical argument/ that swill milk was was not fit for human food.

Similar parlies have played the same game daily arouud the city.for months, yet, as far as wo can learn, hardly a sin glo arrest of those participating in such outrages, has been made. The truth seems to us to he. that the portion of tiro police disposed to do tbeii duty are afraid to risk their lives in Us performance, while another portion arc friends and associates of at least the leaders of these villainous gangs. While wc can hear of no arrests, common minor names policemen after policemen as being notorious Baltimore or Washington bullies and “shoulder bitter.” Nay, it has become not uncommon to see Washing ton police officers riding in their uniform around the 'city, screeching mad under Iho influence'of liquor. Under such circumstances, it ‘ is-by no means wonderful that few or no arrests are made for the crimes of arson,, house-breaking, robbery and wanton destruction of hotel and restaurant furniture, in oar midst, and that the life of no man—it matters not what his position in society or the molTcnsiveness of his habits and associations may be—is safe.-— Washington Star.
