Washington, D. C, May 2. Rep

tho treasury the money stolen by Sileott,
which the court of claims determined
was due them. During the discussion
of the Silcott bill in the House, these
gentlemen held that the members and
not tho government should suffer the
loss of the money. As there was no oth
er way for the treasury department to
accept the money, it was turned into
the "conscience fund." The other mem

By United Press. 1
Boston, May 2. At the annual dinner
of tho Butler Club last evening, Gen.
Beuj, F. Butler made a lengthy speech
which was devoted almost wholly to the
subject of the present deplorable finan
cial condition of tho farmers of the coun
try. He referred to tho Farmers' Alli
ance, with its formidable proportions,
.which, if held together, will be irresist
able. It claims to be non-political, but
is it is successful it will destroy both po
litical parties and become a political
party itself. The General compared the
condition of the farmer as a workman
with that of a carpenter, showing that
while the farmer's profits would be
$112.50 for his crop, the carpenter, for
a less expenditure of time and energy,
would get $000, figuring upon tho basis
of the present value of corn within
twenty -four hours' lido of Chicago.

THE REPUBLICAN PROGRAMME.
Special Cor. State Chronicle.
Washington, D. C, April 30. The
programme of Speaker Heed and the Ec
publicans for taking the control of con
gressional elections into their hands, by
an act of Congress, shows the utter des
peration to which they have been re
duced, in view of the tidal wave of pop
ular indignation which threatens to
overwhelm them. They read the hand
writing on the wall, in the late State
elections, all over the couitry;and they
look forward to the ides of November
with dread, amounting to despair. The
"bloody shirt" is played out, and the
protective policy is a two-edged sword,
which cuts both ways; and while, as the
creature of the monopolists, they dare
not abaudon it, they have ceased to con
fide m its power to charm. They are
aware that the farmers, the mechanics,
and laboring classes can no longer be
gulled by the false pretense that high
tariffs are imposed for their benefit, by
increasing the prices of agricultural
products aud the rate of wages. They
kuow that that lie is played out; and
their last desperate hope is, that they
may increase the number of Republican
members of Congress from the South by
putting the control of tho whole ma
chinery of the elections into the hands
of their followers. They rely upon the
negro vote, although they have alien
ated and disgusted intelligent negroes
by the parsimony with which they have
doled out patronage to that class. As
an illustration, or, as illustrations, here
are James Harris and John Hyman, the
first, the best Republican speaker in
the State, aud the second, a shrewd, in-
I telligent leader of his raco, filling the
positions of night watchmen. Harris
is honored with that position at the
treasury department, for which he is
paid the sum of two dollars per day,
while theit are, I know not how many
white Republicans from the State, that
nobody ever heard of out of their
neighborhood, who are receiving their
$1,000, $1,200, $1,400 and $1,(300 for
wielding a steel pen six or seven hours
in the day. Hyman has a similar pod

COWS OR CONSUMPTION?
Tuberc ilosi trom Milk.
Special Ccr. State Chronicle.
It is not perhaps knov n to all of your
readers that tuberculosis, which is by far
the most common form of consump
tion, can be contracted by drinking the
milk of cows infected with that disease.
It has been said that approximately one
seventh of the human race perish from
this disease. If this be true any prac
tical facts bearing on the subject cannot
fail to be of interest.
Ever since Koch first announced the
bacterial origin of tuberculosis and de
scribed the tubercle bacilli, all subse
quent experimentation has but abund
antly corroborated his conclusions. The
disease, like many others, is due to a
distinctive bacillus or germ which is
readily recognizable by experts.
Probably tho most common source of
the propagation of tuberculosis is the
phthisic sputum of tuberculous persons.
The expectorated excretum, being care
lessly deposited on the streets or else
where, (instead of in hana kerchiefs or
vessels, to be subsequently buried or
burued, as should always b3 done)
becomes dried, pulverized, aud dis
seminated in the the atmosphere as
dust. The inhalation of this dust
plants the death-dealing bacilli in the
lungs and tuberculosis is developed. In
this way it is that most cases develop in
the lungs. Koch declared that tho dan
ger of getting the tuberde-htciUi fit m
tuberculous animals, while by no moans
to be underrated, was very much c:-f,
than tho danger from phthisic sputum.
As tuberculous animals produce no spu
tum, the source of contagion here lies in
either drinking the milk or eating the
flesh of the animals thus affected. The
latter danger amounts to very little in
view of tne cooking of the flesh, but the
danger from milk, in the light of recent
investigations, appears to be much
greater than Koch supposed. It is the
result of these investigations that it is
the object of this article to cite. Thev
were made by Dr. Harold C. Ernst, of
Boston, and are described in full by him
in a bulletin issued last month from tho
Hatch Experiment Station of the Mas
sachusetts Agricultural College at Am
herst. Koch asserted that tuberculosis from
cow's milk needed only to be feared
when tho mammary glands themselves
were involved, and that it was only
necessary to ascertain tho existence or
absence of actual lesions of the udder,
in order to take care accordingly. Bat
Dr. Ernst's experiments lead "him to
conclude that the milk of tuberculous
cows is dangerous in the abscenco of all
such lesions whatever, and he sums up
the results of his experiments as foilows
"1st, and emphatically, tho milk from
cows affected with tuberculosis in auy
part of the body may contain the virus
of the disease.
2nd. The virus is present whether
there is disease of the udder or not.
3rd. There is no ground for tho asser
tion that there must bo a le.-ion of the
udder before tho milk can contain the
infection of tuberculosis.
4th. On the contrary, the bacilli of
tuberculosis aro present and active iu a
very large proportion of cases in tho
milk of cows affected with tuberculosis
but with no discoverable lesion of tho
udder."
The failure to detect the bacilli in milk
from tubarculous cows is by no means a
sure indication that the milk is not af
fected. Dr. Ernst, in examining 114
specimens of milk from cows which pre
sented symptoms of tuberculo-is of the
lungs or elsewhere, but which showed
no signs of disease of tho udder of any
kind, detected tubercle-bacilli ia only
17 specimens, and yet expresses surprise
inai xuey were aerectea in so many.
This uncertainty of their detection is
due to unavoidable dilution intheex-

dilation to which the organisms must he
subjected diminishes immensely the
chance of their being found at all." A
much safer test, then, as to whether tho
milk is inflected or not is that of mncc
ulation. Experiments in Germany with
twenty specimens of milk from tuber
culous cows showed that eleven out of
the twenty produced tuberculoma by in
oculation in guinea pig3, whi'e in only
one of the twenty could the actual
presence of the tubercle bac . l!i be de
tected. Of these twenty spec: ne :s, fiv
were from cows affected with general
tuberculosis of all the oigdo?. in a high
degree, six were from cows affected h
the disease in only a moderate degre-?,
and nine were from cows in wh'ch
the disease was localized in the lun.
By the inoculation experiments bO per
cent, of the specimens from tne cows or
the first class produced tubuculosis, (?i
per cent, of the second class, and Z'-i per
cent, of the third clas3. Such results
as these, coupled with thoso reached
by Dr. Ernst, are very significant
and interesting, and show the neces
sity of care and circumspection in
the matter of tuberculous cattle aud iu
milk from them. Dr. Brush, who ha.
made a long, diligent and searching
study of the subject, in an article read
before the New York Academy of Mcdi-
j cine in April of la.st year, declared that
nected with inbred dairy cattle, tuber
culosis prevailed, and, vice versa, if
there were no inbred dairy cattle, thre
was no tuberculosis: that he be
lieved that the disease was origi
nally derived from the bovine
species; that he believed that 50 per
cent, of all dairy cattle wero affected by
it, and quoted statistics showing that
phthisis was unknown wherever there
was a race of people without cattle: and
that, furthermore, he believed that if
all the cattle in this country, were to be
killed, the disease would finally die out
entirely here. F. B. Dancy.
