The Pivsi'lent lia* thrown a bombahe!) into the United States Senat**, much to the c nateruatiou oftheRepabIi.au mem tiers of that august body, and to the aatisfac* tiou and delight of the Detitoctaia The opposition party in the Henut* has rejected the Fisheries Treaty lately negotiated between the Uni ted States and Great Butain, which was intended to alleviate the griev ances of Americans fishing in Cans adian waters. These grievances are by no means imaginarj, for the American fishermen “have been subjected to numerous vexatious, iuteiferencesardannoyancei'; 'heir vessels have been seized upon pre texts which appear to be entirely inadmissable and they have been otherwise treated by Gaoadian au tborilies and officers in a manner inexcusably harsh and oppressive.” Tbo Presid'-nt feeling that some, thing should be done to protect the interests of this class of American citizens, and being driven by the Republican Senators to the only alternative left since their rejection of the treaty, which would have effectually put an end to these out. rages, has boldly thrown down the gauntlet, and it remains to pe seen if the Republicans w ill take it up. The remedy now proposed by President Cleveland is retaliation By the treaty of 1871 b-tween Great Britain and this country, It was agreed that for a certain uum> her of years ull merchandise artivw iug at certain ports iu the United States, and destined for the British possessions in North America, may be entered at the proper custom bouses connected with said ports without payment of dories, aud conveyed to their destination through the territory of the United States, under such rules aud regc l atious as the Government of the the United States may from time to time prescribe; and, under like reg- ulati ms, merchandise may be coux veyed iu trausit without payment of duties from such possessions through the territory of the United States, for export from said ports of the United States. A like privi lege was granted the United States through the territory of the British possessions. The President is of the opiniou that the time stipulated upon iu th- trva y has expired, and rim it wnitid lie no violation of treaty obligations to. deny Canada these rights. As it is now, Canada, by virtue ol certain statutes passed prior to and independently ol the treaty of 1871, continues to enjoy these rights aud privilege*, while our fishermen are not >-(lowed to ship their fish through Canadian territory free of duty. The policy which President Clev# laud wishes to puisne is to with draw these rights and privileges from Canada, and lie calls on Con gross to aid and sustain him in car rying this oat. By viitue ol a law enacted by Congress and signed by the Cirief Executive oo March 3rd, 1887, the President is granted the power, whenever he ihiuks Ameri can fls er. en are living deprived of their rights, to deny to the vess sets and their masters and crews of the British Dominion of North America any entrance into the har bors of the United States, and also to d.-ny the tt the right to bringany of then plod nets to our porta tor transportation. Oleveinud now, however, asserting bis intention to enforce this Act, an I bis power to do so under the present statute be ing, in hia opinion, limited, asks Congress for snob far her legida- tion, as will projtvily supplement the power already vested iu the live to iu ug'iratc pro Republican Senate carry oat the President’s ideas V What will they do with ri e n»e*< -ge f It very clear ly pu"* iIm io hi s t|uanilary.

An Explanation Wanted. To the Editor of tke News : Several weeks ago there appear ed iu the News a notice that 100 acres of laud and two buildings, in Lydia Township, and recorded in the nan c of my wife, E. F. Lloyd, would be sold for the taxes of 1887. 1 was igumaut of this notice nutil last Wednesday, the 15th lust, when the Deputy Sheriff called with a duly appointed officer and de manded a receipt for the taxes. Happily lor me the receipt was iu sale keeping. If it bad been mis placed or des royed, aa it might have been, it would have given me trouble. Thus through the uupar donable neglect of the Treasurer, 1 was placed iu an embarrassing pr- siriou Ix-fore my friends. A m»n is ligbt’y ;>ut to trouble aud ex pense w hen he fails to pay his tax es. B>tt what is dona with an offi cer who tails to do his duty ! Fire might destroy a receipt, but the Treasurers books nhould always show amounts paid ; else why have them f The people have a right to cxpe.t the Treasurer to do the work. He deserves no credit for doing it well, but the strongest ceu sure for doing it badly. If a law were enacted makingsach looseness a finable offence, a case would rare ly occur. Personally 1 have a high regard for Mr. Trailer, but I must coufes.« that 1 have uo patience with groos carelessness in public office, espe cially when inuocent people are made to suffer by it.

In chronic key, but capable ot being tian*- mitted to man, sheep, goat*, and a few other animals. Cattle and fowls are not »u ceptible lo the dis ease, and do not contract it eveu when inoculated. It has well been defined by good authority to be the most serious and dangerous disease to which the public aui nals are liable, because of its fatality and its liability to affect man. Glanders is one of the oldcs’ dis eases ot which we have any record, having been described by ajcieut writers. It is now more prevalent in temperate than in very hot or cold climates. There ar^two well defined types of the disflbe—glan ders and farcy. The diff reuce in the two being in the pint ot the body principally affected. In the glanders type the diseased process is principally confined to the uum*1 | passages aud adjacent lymphatic glands, while iu the farcy type he morbid process is principally cou fined to the skin and subcutaneous iy mpbatic glands The glanders type is characterized by three principal symptoms, viz., a dis charge from the nostrils, a haid Lcdular swelling below the lower jaw, aud ulcers of a peculiar char acter ou the nasal tuacas mem brane The nasal discharge may issue from one or both nostrils, ac cording as one or both nasal pass ages are affected. Iu the horse, w here the disease usually assumes a chronic lorm, it is most common to find bat one nostril discharging, especially during the early stages of the disease. Foreign veteriu- ariaus have described the discharge as being usually from the left uos- tril. This does not seem to be the case, however, iu this country, iu i he eases that I have observed 1 have found it as oiteu from one side as the other. This sy mptom taken by itself will tot enable us to diaguose the disease. For instance, a common cold, chronic catarrh, strangles or colt distemper aud in- flaenza are attended by discharge from the nostrils. When consider ed, however, iu connection with the nodolar swelling beneath the jaw, and the nasal ulcers it be oomesof diagnostic valne. it is true that the discharge possesses some properties not possessed by- discharges attending other dis eases, the most notable of which is its gluey like uature, causing it to adht re around the margin of the nostril. Again, during the later stages of the disease, it is frequent ly streaked with blood, showing the existence of ulcers in the nasal passages. It is commonly supposed by stock owners that the discharge has a very bad odor. This is not usual ly the case, the odor being scarcely perceptible except in the late stages of the disease. It is the discharge caused by ulcerated teeth and by disease of the facial sinews that iias the bad odor and not the glanders discharge. The amount ot the discharge of course depends on the nature of the case If the disease is acute it is con- tiouous and profuse. If chronic the amount is small, and daring a warm dry spell may be so slight as to almost escape di-tection, aud eveu at times entirely disap(»ear. This slight discharge sometimes continues for mouth*, and in a few instances for years, without the animals showing any loss of con dition or other sign of general ill health. Gold wet weather has a tendency to aggravate the nasal trouble, thus increasing the quan tity ol the discharge. The nodular swelling of the sub maxillary gland beneath the lower jaw is the second characteristic symptom. This swelling corre sponds to the discharge; that is, if the discharge is from the right nostril the right gland will be found enlarged ; if discharging from both nostrils both glands will be involv. ed. The enlargement varies from the hize of a peanut to that of a hen’s egg, is hard, nodulated and usually more or less sensitive on pressure. It is to be distinguish ed from the swelling attending strangles or “colt distemper” by being smaller, not to sensitive and havii g no tendency to supurate. Although of more diagnostic value than the nasal discharge it is not to be relied upon unless accom panied by some of the other symp toms. Some authors claim that when it is accompanied by the natal discharge alone the animal should be condemned as glandered. Some veterinarians, I think right ly, make an exception to this r-le, as I have observed these two symp- tioms to be caused in some in stances by an ulcerated tooth. AH cases showing these two symptoms, however, should be regarded as suspicious until the tiue nature of the disease be determined. The third principal symptom, the appearance of nasal ulcers is the most characteristic of the dis ease. In fad, it may be said o be the diaguostic symptom, for it we find the small pit-like ulcers ou the mucus membrane covering the partition separating the two nasal passages we need have no hesita tion iu pronouncing the animal glandered. These ulcers usually appear ou th# lower aud middle -portions of the septum. Occasion ally, however, they develop ou the upper portion, where it is with dif fioulty they can be seeu unless light is refleeted into the nostril by means of a small minor. They are P r * oe< k< 1 by a amaU yellowish caeiHibi- ulct-rH Houn-tiui) s shows tfi.de.ic> to in-ad, eiqM-rially if Con ditions are lavoiabb-. Cases of this kind aie vt-iy rare, and new ulcers sooner or later apiiear. These three ch iracteristiu symp toms are always present in acute cases, aa well us Home minor symtems, the principal o f which are a rise of time or four degrees iu the body temperature, loss of appetite, staring coat aud a mattery discharge from the eye, cones) mu ding to the affected side. In some instances a cough will be present, showing the lungs to be also affected. In acute cases the disease soon runs its coarse, tbe animal usually living bat a few weeks. Mules and donkeys are much more liable to this form than the horse. In the chronic form there is frequently no constitutional symptoms present. The animal keeps iu good ti-sti, has a good coat and a good appetite. Even one or two oi the characteristic symptoms may be absent. For instance, the only symp-oin will be Flight dis charge from one uos-ril—so slight that it will not be observed except On close examination. These cases are the most dangerous, as the glanders poison contained in the slightest discharge is just as \iru lent as when the discharge is pro fuse, and the patient will live for mouths or yeat s to scatter it abroad. It is these cases that cany the dis ease from faim to farm, from Coun ty to County and from 8late to 3tdte. Tbe type of the disease described as “Farcy” is nut as common in tbe horse as the type above de scribed. In the mule aud donkey tbe disease usually during the early stages assumes this form, in acute cases the first ayaiptom is a high fever, soon followed by au exten sive swelling of oue or more limbs of the patient, usually one bind limb, accompanied by lameness. This swelling soon partially sub sides, leaving small enlargements beneath tbe skin, commonly called “farcy buttons.” These break and discharge, forming small ulcers, which cominae to increase in num ber until frequently the whole body is covered. Boon tbe animal begins to discharge at the nostrils, the nodules, aud ulcers appear, aud tbe patient is said to be both glau- dered and farcied. These cases aoou terminate fatally. Iu chrouic cases the disease is confined to one limb, but few farcy ulcers appear, which under proper treatment heal aud the imb ap parently regains its natural con dition. Whether or uot |»ermaueut recovery has taken place is a ques lion yet to be settled. It is claimed that tbe disease is again liable to make it# appearance if the con ditions are favorable, if the animal becomes affected with some dibili- taring disease, is exposed to wet, cold weather, otc. Th-- ca is-' of glanders has until recently been nukiiowu. 1’iie con tagious ua: are of the disease was at oue time denied by many author ities. -After settling, beyond tbe posstbiity of a don lit, the conta gious nature ol the affection tbe question of sp ntaueous origin be came tbe dispiued point, many au- thoriti s claiming and a tew still claim that the diatase originates under cei tain circumstauees span- taueously. That is to say that de bilitating diseases, for example, ca tarrh, influenza, etc., may develop into glanders. The animal in this way contracting the disease without having tieeu exposed to the glau ders poison. Others claim that the disease originates and spreads by means of contagion only. For so ue time the weight ot testimony was in favor of the spontam-ons origin of the disease. Recently the study of bacteriology has thrown a great deal ol light on the cause of conta gious diseases, proving many of them to be due to very minute or ganisms called bacteria. These or ganisms constitute the virus of con tagious diseases. On bix-ooiing in- t rot In ci d into the budy they rapid ly multiply iheie aud produce such changes in the auiuial economy as to produce disease. Each disease has its own special organism. In the study of these oigauiMus glan ders has been found to be dne io an organism called the bacillus ol glanders. These bacilli have been cultivated outside the animal body and the disease produced in other animals by inoculating them with the virus so obtained. My col- league, Dr. Bolton, has in this way produced the d sease in mice aud guinea pigs. This bactilio# has never been known to be produced outside the auimal body unless ar tificially cultivated. It itf j s uo t produced outride the auimal body we cauuot conceive of a case of glanders occurring without there having first been a pre-existing »u h !I <> • tra^e the diseased animal tious he o m *rv to ii.c onaa.y stock owner by sim ply representing ’o him that the subject is only aaftering from one of those affections, from which it will entirely recover in the coarse of a tew days. When we coosider that for two or three years the ani mal may show no signs of tbe dis ease except a slight nasal discharge, being to all appeal ances iu general good health, it is easy to under stand hmv ihe uninitiated may be imposeil upon. Again, by the pi op erii*o <>f certain drugs the do charge may be arrested for a few days, ai.d while iu this condition thefa.ii- Ua Sunday morning 'AnansT'-uI^ ni il is di*po*ed of at a great bar- CIO wd ot men, many „f *1, IVr- 1 Were identified. att>«'*lr»..i * and tbe ornf.. sional trader given a “widebS the disease can be stamped out Riotous Proceedings at Scrani®, The town of Scranton, i 0 liamsbnrg County, is the centre 2 much excitement at present and from what we can gather from tSr Charleston World is the scL^J most extraoiiliuury uroccnvtin 01 Mr.T.

In other words, th© animal mast be ex|H>sed to fho virus of tbe disease iu order to contract the dis ease, and cousequeutly debilitating diseases cannot develop into glau. ders. My ubseivation has led me to accept this view as the correct one. In almost all cases where 1 have observed outbreaks of the dis ease I have been able to track it back fo a preexisting case; in fact* I have found that a “trade 1 ’ waa usually the canee of spreading tbe disease. The symptom* of tbe dis ease so nearly resemble those of a theii offi r aniua's, work them to gvther ntand them in tha same stall and water out of (he same trough- TIik reMilt is that alter an indefinite course of time, »ay from one week to two or three months, the disease develops in cue or more of tbe exposed atiiuiaf.*, thus pio- ducing a new outbreak ot the dis ease. It is communicated from an imal to auimal, principally by means of the nasal discharge, ami the pu* from the farcy ulcers, both containing tbe glanders bacillus in large numbers. An animal affected with the gtaudt-r* type of the dis ease i* more liable to spread the disease than one aff cted with farcy, on account of the nasal discharge being de|>o>ited in mangers, feed boxes, water buckets and trougus, audou wagon tongues, neck yokes, etc. The period of incubatium lit it is, the time which elapsrN aTter the virus enters the body I refora the dis ease appears is indefinite, but is usually regarded aif h«.iig from three or loir days to to o • r 'hree months When exireiimentally in ovulated the symptoms appear about the tbiidur fourth day. As it is not possible to tell whi n the virus outers the system, wheuiuoc ulation takes place iu the natural way, it is not often that tlu* period of incubation cau be determined. The condition of the animat is a factor in regard to the development of tbe disease. If kept under the best sanitary conditions it may os cape the disease even if exposed several times. If, however, the smitary conditions are bad aud tbe auimal is affected witbgsome nasal trouble, as catarrh, distemper, ect., it is very liable to contract glau- ders, when exposed, and tbe dis ease has a tendency to run a more rapid coarse. It in claimed by some that tbe disease is capable of being communicated by means of the breath. Recent experiments tend to show that the expired air does not contain the virus, and conse quently the disease cauuot be com munioated ia that way. We cau understand, however, how an ani mal cau contract tbe disease with out coming io contact with tbe dis charge when we remember that tbe disease germs are so ainall aud light aa to readily float iu tbe at muapbeie. For the example, the nasal discharge deposited oo the manger bee imea dry a>>d pulver* ized iu tbe lonn ot tine dust, leav ing the germs in such condition that they are readily blown from oue part of tbe building to the oth er. I think that it is in this iu»y that infection takes place, through the air. Man has never been known to contract the disease except by di rect iuoculatijii, the virus entering the system by means of a wound. Several cases h ve occurred in th s way in different States doring the last few years. Some have been inoculated while boldi g post mor tem examinations, some while “doc toring” glandered animals and oth ers while working them. As the disease is uniformly fatal in man too much care cannot be obsei»ud iu handling glandered auim ds. As tbe disease is incurable no treatment is to be reoomiueu-'ed. Not originating spontaneous!!, it can be stamped out if proper meas ures are taken. All animals should be destroyed as soon as well mark- ed symptoms appear, and the car casses deeply buried or bnrued. Under uo consideration should em pirics he allowed to treat such cases under the promise ot a speedy cure, lor in all such instances the farce ends by other cases occurring. Buildings in which the di eased animals have been kept shoe id |^e thoroughly disinfected before being use 1 for other auimals.
