Inefllclency of the Government In spection beeaaa^ of Its lack of author ity to reach business done entirely within a State Is given as one of the causes, and Dr. Melvin points out the great need of supplementing the Gov ernment lnspectlos* of nit'ats with 5taiv and munlciual Inspections. One result of the Federal Inspec tion Is to cause the diversion of dis eased and suspicious looking animals to the unlnspectod establishments, where they are slaughtered for the local mar 'Krt; tho best meat goes away, rays tho report. "Many cities have tin Inspection eer vlco, but vary few have an adequate force, and tho Inspection often con sists of merely examining the meat as altered for sale In the markets, when It is usually Impossible to detect, dis ease, tho evidence of which may have been removed with the vlsc:ra or or gans," Bav(i Dr. Melvln. 'As a rule, sanitary conditions are eery bad at -uninspected slaughter houscr. and in order to provide real protection against diseased or un wholesome meat a competent veterin ary and sanitary inspection at the time of slaughter la essential." Notwithstanding the efforts to give 1 competent Jnsnectlon, the service ias been unjustly rttaoked, the re port asserts. Thp incident at East 5t.

Justice Howard Assails Ashokan Condemnation System. CUTS COMMISSIONERS' PAY Declare* That the Dollar Mark Now Top* the Flag-r-Feoplo lOxpec* <iraft, und Are to lilame-? Hon esty u Freak. Troy, N. Y. ? "The age of patriot* Ism has yielded to the age of couuner ci&llsm. Uppermost In the human mind Is not the Stars and Stripe*, but the dollar mark." Such is the declaration of Supremo Court Justice, Wesley O. Howard, of this city, in an opinion fixing the com petiBAtion of the members of a com mission of three appointed by him to appraise damages to property along highways resulting from the construc tion of the Ashokan reservoir in Uls ter County to furnish a water supply for New York City. Justice Howard reduces the com pensation of tho Commissioners from $3650 each to 12200, declaring, inci dentally, that "if expedition and in tegrity, instead of slothfulness and rapacity, were the law of tho Asho kan Valley no fault would be found with the dally wages paid." "While commissions furnish ave nues for tho reckless waste of many dollars, there are other channels of leakage and waste fully as appalling," said Justice Howard. "It is greatly to be regretted that no public enterprise can be projected and consummated without this ap palling loss called 'graft.' Graft 1a not necessarily an illegal expenditure of money, but It Is that unnecessary, wasteful use which characterizes the construction of every public venture. At least forty per cent, of all the money appropriated f9r public use is lost In graft. All things could bo pos sible if this frightful leak could be stopped ? roads, canals, libraries, asy-i lums and hqspltals ? all these coulrf be built out of. graft could it only be saved. "By what I say here I do not seek to charge any particular individual with responsibility nor to direct pub lic attention to_any Buch source. In deed, I do not believe that any partic ular Individual or class of Individuals is responsible. Graft is a product of our times and Institutions. It is the people who are responsible, for, by prescription, they seem to have lost, or to believe that they have lost, their title to Integrity. They expect graft, and even spoil and booty, to deplete their resources whenever any great undertaking Is ventured by them, and they look with complacenco and toler ation and Indifference at ravages upon their property. Graft Is as much an element to be reckoned with In com puting the cost of a public structure as is cement or lumber. It has come to bo a matter of course ? this rake off ? a loss recognized by all who make estimates. of cost In such cases. Figure out what a private corpora tion. like a railroad, can construct a public undertaking for, then add forty per cent, for graft, and you have the cost of the enterprise. A public structure built honestly would bo a freak." Justice Howard declares that the "whole project of the condemnation of land in the Ashokan Valley is char acterized Hy waste, disorder and con fusion. TheYo is no system and no plan for doing anything. Nobody seems to be in charge of the matter, and the result Is an endless muddle and mix-up." The commission whose compensa tion w as rfdi'ce'l by Justice Howard was composed of Sidney Harris, New York, lawyer, chairman; C. Gordon Heel, of Kingston, civil engineer, and Dr. James T. McKenna, of Troy. SKVKX CHILDKEN KILLED. Powder Explodes in House Occupied by Miners nt Sykcsvlllo, Pa. Dubois, Pa. ?

A most important thing for a cotton grower to consider is t lio fact that "novel a" is strictly a home-grown feed, and in buying this feed, he is patronizing himself. It is made en tirely fron\ cotton seed. A Poevish Plaint. The learned writers for the pr?M Are very, very good, At proving how we waste on dress Or furbelows or food.
