SATURDAY. JANUARY 23, 1897. CATTLE AND MILK INSPECTION We do hope that1 the legislature' will do somet ling for the. good of the state , In the g -eat matter of good country roads. T le present average road Is a disgrace o the state and a real loss to and burr en upon the people. It Is high tlmr that a: system was adopted that will secure gradually, surely1 and wth no ffreat addition of taxation good roads for all the counties. r Then there isJ-another thing every way deserving of the careful consider ation of . the most thoughtful and in formed members. We referred to it a few days ago In a paragraph the pas sage of laws looking to stock improve ment and Inspection, including rigid examinatjoh of all milch cows and all milk soldi The health of the people demand this.; No rotten or doubtful meats ought to be allowed to be sold meats of sick hoers or deceased cattle: and no milk should be sent to families except from cows known to be f re from tubifculosia.and otherwise health ful. Something Is needed !to Inform the people at .this point. Tens of thou sands of the' cows now being milker! In the south are sick, have consumntion In eVery herd of Jerseys you will find tuberculosis unless they have been closely Inspected before. . j In the more enlightened states to the north of us cattle inspection is thor oughly ,done. In Massachusetts and other stakes, veterinary surgeons have found tuberculosis abounding , among the cows supplying the milk the people were daily drinking. Diseased milk and poisr ned water, and impure air are enough to spread disease and death among any people. The necessity of cattle Inspection is arousing some in terest in states farther south. The milk question kvil.'not down. It is too preg nant with evil and good .to be dismissed The health of the people is of the high est consideration." NO intelligent and humane legislator wilj . overlook 1 wantonlvl The Savannah News had recently this as to milk inspection." "What pan be done-to arouse the peo nle to the importance of this matter Will anything less than an epidemic some one of the diseases whicn are ' due to! impure milk arouse them? "Perhaps they don't think the Impure milk evil is as great as the health om cer thinks it is? Are they qualified tr have an (opinion In regard to the mat ter? If ihey are doubters wouldn't 1 be betted to be on the safe side? Tn safe side is to stop the sale of impure milk. "All the dirtv stables in the city are not eaual in value to the life of on - child. The health-officer gives the pub lie to understand that the milk solr" from the! cows kept in these close, dir ty stables, and fed upon slops i.gathpre" here and there, is a 'fruitful cause o diseases from which! children suffer during certain seasons of the year." There is a bill before the legislature mainly the work of a veterinary ddctor of our city we believe, that should "b; examinee by the members ' and voter for, with any -judicious amendment? that may be needed to make it more stringent and effective. "CUBA FREE." The Messenger has not thought it, probable that the Cuban patriots woul(" think. of accepting any terms - that Spain and Cleveland might offer 'short of recoprnizing their independence. That is svhat they began the war for T and why t,hey "continue It. It is Cubs free and independent for which they suffer and die.: There is to be no sur render. The secretary of the Cubar , legation at Washington, Mr. Quesada contradlc ts flatly an evil report that he .favor. -d the acceptance of autonomy : for" Cubs , and ending the struggle on that promise, that basis of settlement. ' He has made no' declaration of the j-'klnd, bul & absolutely opposed to 1' . and favo-sf "no surrender under any I circumsti .nces or proffer of settlement - short 'of complete independence." The New York Tribune says that absolute independence '.'is the policy imposed upon the Insurgents by their own con stitution; it has been consistenly ad hered to both by the militant leaders In Cuba and by' the diplomatic agents ,(i In this country; and all rumors to the contrary may as well be discredited In advance. ' The truth Appears to be that ther i is no dependence to be placed in Spanish proposals of any kind. - It is " a treacherous and bloody nation and false and persecuting as the history of - Spain shows. If they could get the army of he patriots scattered" and disr armed ui ider a promise of pacification and f avoi '.there Is no certainty or guar antee whatever that it would not be a false attitude to be changed on the part of Spain, and the old system of outrage and oppressive taxation to be revived iJid prosecuted with increased vigor and determination. Genera Estrada -Palma, of the New York Cu 5an Junta, says that the pa triots wl 1 "accept no reforms from Spain tl at the only terms they will accept aie complete Independence." He well asks : "What form, of autonomy would help Cuba when saddled, not only with her f previous debt, but with the added bur den of th3 cost of the present war? The future o! the country would be ruin and starvation.- , : "News of our success in the field may be suffocated by the censor ;--pacification of the inland provinces may be falsely proclaimed as in the . case of Pinar de. Rio; decrees allowing grind ing of sugar may be issued where all cane has been destroyed; promises of reforms ind autonomy given and am nesties promulgated;' but e Cubans will continue to fight for independence - and nothing but independence, first last and all the time." 1 Every Cuban in the Unitefi States ; ought to return when possible to the island ar d help to make successful line most gallant resistance. In the mean time We rler, butcher and failure. Is in such bad ordor in Spain that he seeks to recover himself by new and Intensi S fled devilish oppression of women, or i, burning the homes of non.-combatants and "pitying the devil generally" at long range. Would that some 'Cuban bullet co aid do for him what his base creatures did for the brave Maceo. A fellow like Weyler is a blot upon the 'scutcheon -of even so decadent a race as. the Spanish. " 1 The Sianish leaders have lied all along as to the actual resuiuachieved. The butcher has promised well as to what he would do, but his pert orman-.-J cea have fallen- for short. He was to wind up matters by Christmas. He represented that the western province had been pacified. - General Rivera contradicts this flatly. According t to Weyler Pinar del Rio was quiet. But Rivera, who succeeds Maceo, says that there are not less than 15.000 men under arms, scattered In detachments and liv ing on plantations. .General Rivera savs that when Wevler advanced with 40.000 men to clean out the insurgents, he could not find the enemvf Thev anneared and yet worried ...the enemy at everv nossihle point. : killing mm.ln detail and maklne It verv uncomforta ble to the boastful Spaniards. Rivera wants helo In the shape of arms and ammunition. An account states.-; as from him that with 10.000 stand of ri fles and cartridges for three months; he alone could end the struggle. SHERMAN AH fSFC"FTARY ANT HIS VIEWS. For. many years we have not had confidence in John Sherman's personal integrity and consistency of princi ples, but conceded his great abilities. In our recent reports concerning his mental condition, it is Inferred that he Is really in mental decay, and that his associates ,ln the senate know it. How true it is we have no special knowl edge. That Sherman has been- very fickle in his financial views all know who are at all familiar-with his public acts and utterances. IHe can change quicker than other politicians of any thing like his ability and influence. Take the case of Cuba. Not long ago he only a few weeks was very decided in his opinion as to Cuba and earnestly enthusiastically advocated prompt and decided action. He voted not a month ago for a resolution fully recognizing the independence of Cuba ; and was known af one of Cuba's champions in the senate., But a serious "change has come o'er the spirit of his dream.". He went to Canton and McKinley offered him the first place in his cabinet sec retary of state. Then presto !; change He at once assumed a. very discreet and conservative attitude, ' whipping about and talking after this way: "I do not believe the United States government should interfere.ln the Cu-' ban trouble. It is not ours to Interfere. So far as' I can learn at present the Spanish government intends grant ing extensive reforms in Cuba. Thus, the insurgents are to have practical autonomy in all matters vital. If th's Is done, as I am led to believe it will be, I that is all that is necessary. The war will be settled. Why. then, should our government attempt to solve a nroblem which at present seems to have been solved? I am opposed to any interference." ;'; - Who can -believe in the honesty of such a political weather-cock? To be secretary of state he must draw in his horns, put on a coat of another color as to Cuba, and he was found willing. Verily, John Sherman is very tricky and unreliable and insincere. The New York Evening Post, rampant for gold, says of him: "Less than a year ago lie was the most frantic man In the senate in in sisting that this government should in terfere In the Cuban war. Twenty-five vears ago he was for Interfering in the nrevious Cuban rebellion, artd. as Ham "ton Fish's diary records, when asked by the secretary of state whether his nroposal would not be in violation of our treaty with Spain, he replied that e did not know we had. a treaty with Srvain. The choice of such a man. at the present Juncture, as head of the tate deoartment would be most inde cent and alarming uwless he would con sent to announce a thorough chanee of . part. Mr. Sherman has found no diffi culty in altering his sentiments: He is iow positively asrainst any kind of in terference in Cuba." . Is it because of mental-disease that he so swiftly flops?. Hardly. for John has long been capable of sudden changes and strange inconsistencies. Of fourse he now reflects McKinley. But ts a manj of Sherman's type a change Mng, a man of unreliable principles. lacking in true fortitude and courage or conviction the man for the high and responsible office of secretary of state? He lacks consistency and well defined and well cherished .views. In a recent interview he gave out two opinions of nubile Interest, as he probably echoes McKlnley's talk. He thinks the next congress will be able "to pass a repub lican tariff law," That means a drag net, high robber tax. His other declara tion was:' . ' - . .. ... ' , "! do not pretend to speak for Mr McKinley, but I am quite sure that he will not be willing to issue bonds for the purpose of meeting the ordinary expenditures of the government. Such a conauion or affairs In- a time of orace ougnx not, to exist. If congress will not I pass the: necessary revenue measures the president has a remedy at hand that could be applied. Con gress appropriates many millions of dollars a year under statutes that are merely permissive. The great majority of the sums appropriated for public works and other' expenditures that might be enumerated are of this class. T do not . recall the figures at this mo ment, but they will run up, I should ay offhand, to about one hundred mil lions of dollars." It is most i noticeable that of all the talks reported among republican politi cians as to revenues, you never have a syllable about actual retrenchment, cutting down of expenditures of the " uue vry 'is mat mere must be more revenues, and to that end mizLc must De nigner taxation. Such is ine wjsdom and sense of Justice and right and morality of the republican politicians. Already, and for six vea.r the expenditures have nearly or quite equauea 5W),000,000 a Year. This i t-r I times ,mdre than the total expenditures unaer Resident Buchanan. The popu- nas a little more than dnKi There is really no good reason why the cuuiiures snouid not be easily re duced $50,000,000 With proper economy they could be curtailed $100,000,000 without detriment to the country, but with a mighty saving each year. We must all hope for the sake of the tax payers that under. McKinley' there will be no continuance 'of the most dis graceful, indefensible. ' evil course of Cleveland m baleful bond selling. .c. icner says tnat Sherman Is the most incompetent man who could have been selected for secretary of state:. He says he "has absolutely no knowledge of foreign affairs.". There are other opinions not favorable to the Election and on the grounds of incom petency. Qiney is a far abler man for me piace if Cleveland did "find him." HOME FOLKS. How the democrats In the legislature really made anything or came out with uyuis colors is just now beyond our comprehension. They lowered their crest twice, if we have not a wrong Im pression, to make a combine with the Butlerites, and were as often refused. They were even so indifferent to demo cratic favors that an insulting- reply was-mentioned In the populist caucus. A dicker Is disreputable. . The atmosphere at Raleigh continues murkey and sulphurous. The Butler itesare fixed and - furious. - They are stirred and full of fight; and the birds that flew to the Radical' camp are clip; ped and singed in feathers and wings. The Butlerites have issued a manifesto to the faithful few who remained faith- iui in tne miast or the faithless. The traitors are so known and little Mr. Skinner Is skinned by, surgery of th advanced kind, and his followers are branded .as republicans. it la a very amusing battle of. crimination and re crimination . to the ' onrlooklng demo crats.

They do not mean, to be trifled with by fellows of such elastic consciences and political llmber-jacv -In truth the Butlerites are . the r to cause and any resolution to abide In the ship. - ' "".

The Richmond, (Va.), Dispatch keeps its eye upon North Carolina politics. In Its last issue it said this and it is precisely what The Messenger held and holds: .- ';, "It strikes us as much better for the straight democracy of the Old North State or any other state for that mat ter that an unqualified republican like Pritchard should be elected United statAa senator, than that there should be any yielding of democratic principle to secure a contrary result, however seem to expedient such action mignt be.

Buumx aia, DKTJGGISTS, H i. i OF NEW ORLEANS A Deacrlr ion of the Engagement by Oene- t ; pal Jackson. - In the January Century, William Hugh Robarts Y 3 an article entitled "Napoleon's In' est in the Battle of New Orlean- In vMs is quoted a hitherto unp iisb- letter written by al Jaci jon Mr. James Monroe, tion of th . jtter follows: ; - ere was a very heavy5 fog on the er that morning, and the British had t( med and were moving before I knew it The disposition of the riflemen was v ry simple. They were told off in Nob. and 2,. No. 1 was to nre nrst, men :ep back and let No. 2 shoot while be eloaded. About 600 yards from the riflemen there was a great drainage canal running back from the Mississip pi river to the swamp in the rear of tne tilled land on which we were operating. Along this canal the British rormea, under the fire of the new artillery pieces I had near enough to them to get the- range. But the instant I saw tnem l said to Coffee, whom I directed to hur ry to his line, which was to be first at tacked: "By- , we have got them; they are ours!" Coffee dashed forward. and, riding along his line, called out: Don't shoot till you ean see their belt buckles." The British were formed in J mass, well closed up, and about two companies front. The British thus formed, moved on at a quick step, without firing a shot, to within 100 yards f the kneeling riflemen, who were ldlng their fire till they could see 1 belt-buckles of their enemies. Th' British advance was executed as tl? isrh they had been on parade. They t.arched shoulder to shoulder, 1th the step Of veterans, as they wer At 100 yards' distance from our line .he order was given: "Extend column front!":"Double-quick; march! Charg " With bayonet at the charge, they came on us at a run. I own it was an axious moment; I well knew the charging column was made up of the picked troops of the British army. They had been trained by the duke himself, were commanded by his brother-in-law, and had successfully held off" the ablest of Napoleon s marshals In the Spanish campaign. My riflemen had never seen such an attack,nor had they ever before fought white men. The morning, too, was damp; their powder might not burn well. "God helo us!' I-muttered, watching the rapldly-ad' vancing line. Seventy, sixty, fifty, for ty yards, were they from the silent kneeling riflemen. All of my men I could see was their long rifles, rested on the logs before them. They obeyed their orders well; not a shot was fired until the red coats were within forty yards. I heard Cof- fee'svoice as he roared out: "Now, men, aim for the centre of the cross- belts! Fire!" A second after the order a crackling, blazing flash ran all along our line. The smoke hung so heavily In the misty morning air that I could not see what had happened. I called Torn Overton and Abner Duncan.of my staff, and we galloped toward Coff ee s line. In a few seconds after the first fire there came another sharp, ringing volley. As I came within 150 yards of Coffee the smoke lifted enough for me to make out what was happening. The British were falling back in a confused, disorderly mass, and the en tire nrst ranks or their column were blown away. . For 200 yards in our front the eround was covered with a mass of writhing, wounded, dead and dying red coats. By the time the rifles were wiped the British line was reformed. and on it came again. This time they were led, by General Parkenham in per san, gallantly mounted, and riding as though he was on parade. Just before he got within range of Coffee's line I heard a single rifle-shot from a group of country carts we had been using about 175 yards distant, and a moment thereafter I saw Parkenham reel and pitch out of his saddle. I have always believed that he fell from a bullet of a free man of color, who was a famous rifle-shot, and came from the Atakap .pas region of Louisiana The second advance was precisely like the first In its ending. In- five volleys the 1,500 or more riflemen killed and wounded 2,117 British, two-thirds of them killed dead or mortaly wounded. I do not know where General Parkenham was lying.or I should have sent to him, or gone in person, to offer any service In my power to render. I was told he lived two hours after he was hit. His wound was directly through the liver and bowels. General Keene, I hear, was killed. They sent a flag to me, asking leave to gather up their wounded and bury the dead, which of course, I granted. I was told by a wounded officer that the rank and file had absolutely refused to make a third charge. "We have no chance with such shooting as these Americans do." they said. Fifty Years Ago.
