CATTLE FEVER CURE. Ntw mi Dr. ▼. A. Korcuril EqpMt-nrnU-A Diptint ITHM-laal— tt* TM —«, tk» UlMMrwjr Win Hiiiw Aptwr*u| VkM lk« QufuilM RftutaM— Southern Cattl« ArtUTtMU Denver, Col.. Sept. 15.—After many months of effort and repeated experiments a cure for cattle fever has been found. Dr. V. A. Norgaard, of this city, is the discoverer. Solution after solution was triad by him in the effort to find one what would be effectual and eheap, as well as immediate in its results. The plan for dealing with the fever is to primarily exterminate the insects known as the 'Tfek* which abound on fever-stricken cattle, and through the means of which the disease is communicated. To do thi» the cattle are forced to swim through a solution in a vat. What the solution is. it is not known at the present time, but crude petroleum is used. When the successful experiment was tried ST head of very “ticky” cattle were forced to swim through the solution. and it was noticed that while standing on the drip board there was almost a perfect rain of ticks failing off the cattle. They were put into a special pen, and the next day. just 17 hours after the experiment was tried, a rigid examination was prosecuted, and the examiners failed to find a single live tiek in the whole herd. There was no damage done the eyes or skin of the cattle dipped, and not a single bad effect resulted from the dipping. If the new remedy proves to do all that it is claimed it can do, the cattle market will ex perience somewhat of a revolution, and about 500.000 head of cattle will he shipped north each year duriug the now prohibited season, which extends from February 15 to November 15. The “Fever liue,” from beyond the limits trf which no cattle can be shipped north daring the prohibited period, as it now stands, stretches from ocean to ocean. and Arizona, New Mexico, Texas. Indian territory. Arkansas, Mississippi. Alabama, Virginia, part of West Virginia and Louisiana form the district affected. State Veterinarian Uresswell is very much pleased with the results of Dr. Norgaard's experiments, and says, without doubt, the long-sought remedy has been f >und. A meeting of ail states and territories that haudie cattle has been sailed to meet in Fort Worth" on September 27. and at this meetiug it is expected the new scheme of dipping cattie will be shown, and should it prove a success there many of the states will be ready to modify their laws so tha* the cattle of the south can enter tli northern markets.

THE VERSAILLES OUTRAGE. Uov. Mount Gratified »t Effort* Making to Mriuc tlir Munlrrcn tu Justice. IXDlANArOLIS, Ind., Sept. IS.—Gov. Mount yesterday telegraphed to M. R. Connelly, prosecuting attorney at Versailles. Ind., expressing bis gratification at the prompt action of the g.raud jury iu its effort to punish the men who composed the lynchiug party at that place. In his mevsage the governor says: •'1 wish to assure you that the executive authority of the state will support you in your -efforts to expunge from the good name of llipley county and of our honored state this stigma that has been brought through the recent acts of mob violence and that the perpetrators of this diabolical crime shall be brought to justice." Deputy Attorney-General Mores, who was seut to the scene pt the lynching by the governor, has returned and made a statement, lie aays that he believes it will be passible to indict the men who took the lives of the five men. "I’ersous iu Versailles know the lynchers.” said he. “They will not tell you and they will not tell me the amines of the men. but they will tell the grand jury. We already have the uames of some of the men who participated in the affair. The best information 1 could obtain convinces me that there were uot to exceed li men who actually participated in the lynching; they are from Osgood, with possibly two exceptions.”

THE YELLOW PLAGUE _ % - Ail3omos a More Serious Aspect at Hew Orleans. Elfkl Xw Gun Aanoancad Be* Ikt ttttwtiM Not N«««wtUy Alum* tec »»ti thv CkMew «f m Kpldeiuk CouiUmd Beuul«> New Orleans, Sept 18.—The fever tituation in New Orleans has assumed a somewhat more seriouS aspect than at auy time since Sunday, when six of the St Claude-street cases were deslared to be yellow fever. At six >'ciock last evening the board of health afiicially announced the appearance of pf eight new cases, and of these one ) death, that • of Zeua Brunner. At the aflice of the hoard of health yester* i day’s reports were considered somewhat surprising and disappointing. The situation had so materially im- | proved Thursday night that it was felt , 1 that pretty much the worst had come j | and that conditions would improve. ! Thus-day. however, was one of the : hottest days of the mouth, and as yel- j ! low fever thrives in that character of j 1 weather there seems to have been a ! I rapid development of germs. j Th© physicians still feel, however, J | that there is much that is satisfactory | in the situation. It is true that the j new cases represent the extreme up- j per. the extreme lower and the een- j trai portion of the city, but there has j been no serious spread from original j foci, and the hopeful opiuion is still j expressed that the disease may still i be coutrolled and that there is no imminent danger of au epidemic. Secretary Patton of the board said f last eveniug: “The appearance of eight cases today is uot necessarily alarming, 1 said three evenings ago that the prospects j seamed to point to the development j : here of at least 50 cases as a result of ! j the constant intercourse we have been 1 having with the infected towns on the ; gulf coast and the fact that a promiscuous throng of some seveu or eight i buudred people had hasteued into the I city oil the Monday evening following the declaration of the Oceau Springs sickness to be yellow fever. • \Ye have had now 2$ cases and twe ! deaths. Tfte majority of the remaining eases are improving. • It is still quite likely that there will appear numerous cases iu New Orleans, but the situation is uot distressing, and the chances of au epidemic are remote."

to the attention of the board eariy iu the week. Close attentiou had been given it. hut while the symptoms justified suspicion they were uot suffi- | cieully aggravated to w arrant an absolute declaration that the case was yellow fever. The board of health authorities were, therefore, surprised yesterday morning when they received the news of the woman’s death. At first it was decided to hold an autopsy, but subsequently, after a visit ot the doctors to the residence, the board became satisfied that the case was oue of yellow fever aud so offieiady declared it. lu the meautime there has been no relaxation of the efforts on the part of the authorities tocoutrolthe disease. They realize that they are grappling with a daugerous aud insidious foe. and I neither time nor rnouey is being1 spared in fighting him. The force of J inspectors and police officers is being steadily increased aud quarantines are , ; becoming more and more rigorous. ~**n the whole, the weather condii tionayesterday were advantageous. A heavy rain storm yesterday afternoon, lasting for several hours, flooded the streets, thoroughly fiushed the gutters and tempered the atmosphere, and white cooler weather is somewhat daugerous for the sick, it is a material aid in frustrating a spread of the disease. Last uightthe city was comparatively calm. People coutiuue to leave in small parties but there is uothiug like the wild exodus that depopulated Mobile. Jackson aud other cities. The situation was somewhat quieter yesterday at Oeean_Springs. Three cases, however, were reported.

The report of the board of health at I Biloxi says that there* are 19 cases of actual yellow fever under treatment, with diagnosis reserved as to Id cases. There were seveu new eases reported in the 24 hours ending yesterday. The doctors at ltiloxi art tempted now* no longer to class cases as suspicious, but to come out boldly and sa> that they are yellow fever The New Orleans board of health announced last night that many of the older eases of yellow fever.are rapidly progressing toward recovery. Th» Situation at Ocean Spring* Not So j Encouraging -At Other Point*. Ocean Sr kings, Miss., Sept 17.—The !

IN A STATE OF CONFUSION. The Dtneley Lair Fro Tea t« Be a Deficit I*r«4a«er. The Boston Advertiser by its comments on the Dtngley law illustrates the oocfusion of mind that protectionlets, who used to howl about the deficit until they were black in» the face, are in now that the Drngley law is a greater deficit* producer than- any other bill that was ever framed. It confesses to disappointment, but it must be remembered, it says, that “the new tariff is not like the old one, the work of a party pledged to lay import taxes ‘for revenue only,* ** The “one great end of a wellconstructed American tariff must always be the protection of American industry,** and if the Dimgley -act “should ultimately prove to be inadequate, to the extent of a few millions a year, for the raising of revenue, it j would still stand before the country ! in favorable comparison with its predecessor.* Finally the Advertiser expects in the future to get both revenue and protection from the Dingley bill, when in “the better times the people will buy enough of'such foreign goods as are not made al borne to bring up the receipts from imports to high-water mark.* Just how this expectation will be realized, when the protection policy is to tax only goods produced here and admit goods not made here free of duty, isn't quite clear. But to revert to the pretense that the Dtngley bill was not designed to raise revenue. Such a claim is an insult to President McKinley, who called congress together in extra session. It is a refutation of the national republican platform, which declares: “We demand sucih an equitable 'tariff on imports which come into competition with American products as will not only furnish adequate revenue for the necessary expenses of the government, but will protect American labor from the degradation to the wage level of other lands.** In his inaugural address President McKinley said: “It is the paramount duty of congress to stop deficiencies by the restoration of that protective legislation which has always been the firmest prop of the treasury.** It won’t do for defenders of Dtngleyism to claim now that the revenue matter is of secondary importance. It won't do for republicans who were appalled at an average deficit of $3,000,000 a month under the Wilson law to make light ,of a deficit of $14,000,000 the very al •»£> « WAnik A »* tka iWltlAU A f * t T» OIV

law designed by order of the president to stop deficiencies. It won't do. for defenders of Dkrgleyism to expect to raise revenue upon such, foreign goods ns are not made at home, because the doctrine of protection as laid down in the republican platform calls for the free admission of such goods. IVe refer to these troubles of our republican friends not for the purpose of embarrassing: them, but to point out to them the fact that protection conflicts with revenue raising. They didn't settle the tariff question. On the contrary. it must be thoroughly overhauled in a very short time and a new tariff irast be made, for revenue only, and upon lines distinctively different from those upon which Mr. Dingley proceeded.—Utica Observer. NO CHANGE IN RATIO. Sixteen to One Will Hematn the Demand. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat does not foresee an early dropping of the sixteen to one ratio by the advocates of free silver coinage. “The moment they abandon thisUnchoragc.” it says, "they arc at sea without a compass or rudder. Some would want to adopt the twenty to oue ratio which Senator Vest proposed in 1S03. others would advocate the thirty-two to one which Japan accepted, still others would suggest a drop to forty to or.e, which is approximately the market proportion, while others yet would variously want to tie their party to everything between these two extremes.'*

It is not unlikely that the adoption of an arbitrary ratio cost the silver cause no little popular support last year, there being1 many persons who believe that a coinage ratio is to a great extent a creature of circumstances, determined by conditions. Still, there were good reasons why the ratio of sixteen to one should have been the choice of the silver men. It was the existing legal ratio, and its adoption would render recoinagp unnecessary in the event of popular acceptance of the policy of silver remonetization. It is a very convenient ratio, considered from the point cf view of the shees of the salver and gold coins, and moreover, according to the theory of the silver men (a theory not without plausibility) the adoption of the free coinage policy would have quickly caused the commercial ratio to come down nearly if not quite to the legal ratio. If this theory is correct, it does not matter whether the commercial ratio is thirty to oue or fifty to one. There is no reason, therefore, why the silver men should abandon the sixteen to one ratio, although they would doubtless add to their following if they did not make an arbitrary ratio an article of political faith. It is doufotless true, moreover, as the Globe-Democrat says, that the dropping of this ratio would lead to confusion in the silver ranks, and it is to be presumed, therefore, that the silver slogan will be "sixteen to one” until the end.—Binghamton (N. Y.) Leader. -The republican fddite organs that have an over-supply of Banna prosperity, might paflS a portion of it over to the suffering and starving miners.

PANICS AND PARTIES. Tom Re«4 Pots the RtpiMtesu t» • Bat Licit. Says Tom Reed, statesman aad economic philosopher: “After a great smash, like that of 1S93, or that of 1873. there is nothing' to do but wait and let the business world settle itself.** So it seems we have the admission of one of the great lights of the republican party that there was a “great smash** in 1S73, and that it was of the same kind as the “great smash” of 1893, and that in each case there was nothing to do but wait and let the business world settle itself. What will the organs and spouters of the republican party do with this admission? It has been their practice to lay the great smash of 1893 all to democratic success and to a democratic tariff which did not exist until more than a year after the smash. And in order to avoid troublesome questions arising out of their assignment of a cause for the smash they have also made it their practice studiously to ignore the smash of 1873. But now stands forth one of their chief prophets and frankly admits that there was a great smash in 1873. They can no longer ignore or deny the fact without repudiating one of their infallible leaders. How. then, are they going to account for the result? The democratic party was not in power in the summer of 1873 when the panic occurred. A republican president had been elected by an overwhelming majority less than a year before and stili had three and a half years to serve. There was a large republican majority in both houses of the congress-elect. Never did the democratic party seem farther from power, never did its prospects seem darker. Nothing could be more absurd, therefore, than to charge the panic of 1S73 up against the democratic party. But according to the assumption of the republican organs some party must have caused the "grejt smash.” Of course, it was the republican party, if any. Now. wc were living under republican legislation in 1S93. as we were in 1373. not a line of the currency laws or the tariff laws which the republican party had given the country had been repealed or changed in the least particular.

it is tnen a necessary conclusion, from which the republican organs can in no way escape, that if republican policy and administration produced the great smash of 1S73 they must also have produced the great'smash of 1S93., Mr. Reed has put all his party organs in a position where they must admit, unless they throw all consistency to the winds, either that their party caused ln>th the grreat smashes or that these events occur no matter what party may b<» in power. Mr. Reed himself is evw Oently disposed to admit the latter.— Chicago Chronicle. A DISGRACEFUL APPOINTMENT. An IntauoH Act of President Me* Kinley*». i President McKinley appointed Ilenry Demas naval oflicer of the customs at New Orleans, a position of high responsibility and trust in the government of the United States. _ The president made the appointment with full knowledge that Demas was a perjurer, a bribe-giver, a bribe-taker, a man without character, a boon companion of the frequenters and inmates of the lowest dives in New Orleans. The proofs of these allegations were laid before him and are now in his possession, and he has admitted that he has read and "was worried’* by them. He made the appointment knowing that the people of the whole country were awaye of his complete acquaintance with the facts about Demas. The proofs were published in the World in a series of articles beginning June 11 last, and were copied everywhere and were not .and cannot be denied in the smallest particular of depravity. lie made ther appointment to fulfill a bargain between Demas on the one side and William McKinley Osborne and Mark Hanna on the other. Demas and several of his “pals’* were pledget! and even sworn to support Reed in the republican national convention. Osborne bought Demas for McKinley with cash and a promise of this office. President McKinley has now made himself a principal partner in this bargain, shocking in itself but vastly more shocking in view of the degraded character of the man with whom the president of the Unite States has locked arms. It is a disgraceful act, and one which will put a lasting stain on the adminis* tration of President McKinley.—N. Y.. World.

Here we have a tariff bill protecting American manufacturers of iron against foreign manufacturers, and the American manufacturers are actually underselling the foreigner in his own market.—Omaha World-Herald. -There seems to be no good reason why Secretary John Sherman should speak in this year’s campaign. He has already said more than he can atone for or explain in the rest of his natural life.
