that this pioposition lias been lormallv made

diseased and are not lit lor market , which
shall be disposed ol at the expense ot the

perfectly sound nnd healthy , alter caieful
examination befoio and alter slaughter by
veteiinaiian , which shall then bo tinned
o\er to the owner to bo disposed of by him
without any expense to the state except that
ot the slaughter. It is thought that this pro
position w ill be. acceptable to all concerned
as the best way out of tlio bail condition of
all niis. State Yeteilnntian Case well will go

to the Dr.K.J Secietary MannitiK had many
to Induce him to return to the cabinet ,
but ho w HI only como back to act as n soit of
general supervisor and prepare his annual
icpoit. Some of the reasons plveu by Secre
tary Manning's friends for his ret tun are
that the southern climate will bo more bene
ficial to him than tlio se\cro winter of
Albany , nnd that he can Imvo n gtcntor
variety ol entertainments and relaxations at
tlio national capital than elsewhere. As to
his duties In the treasury department In all
ptobablllty Mr. Mantling will let them bo
conducted as they nto at piesent by his assist-
nut sccietaiy. Hotli the president and Mr.
Manning understood thai they must iiave a
trained politician and a New Yorker at
the head ol the tieasury to deal
witli the combinations lormedin New York
nnd lormlng elsowlieto in opposition to tlio
administration , nnd for dieting the not !
national convention. Cleveland wanted
Manning , and only Maunlnir , nnd with him
hack ns.itn he had no fear lor l ss. Cleveland -
land told Maunliii ; that ho would bedabbling
In politics as much in Albany as heie , and liu
mi'-'lit as well como lieie and take the salary.
Added to all tills was Mis. Manning's dcsiio
for another win tor of Washington society.
Talking about Manning's letura , a leading
physician says that it ho were in Manning's
place ho would not ilsk a resumption ot tiea-
sui y woi k , nor would ho engage again in pub
lic allaiis , because ho consldeis it dangerous.

In substaiico :
Your committee icalize that the day is not
nt hand when wo may saloly icly upon niem-
beis of our older in suilicicnt numbei.s to
Wield any gient nnil iiEutul power ns n borty
nfjtlio polls to sustain only such candidates
njf.niay bo tolled upon lo favor
our interests. Thnt object can
only bo accomplished by a system ot edu
cation that will develop Uio highest knowl
edge upon moabutcs that mo constant ! ) behifj
bioiiL'ht to tlie fiont in the. legislative halls of
Uio nation. Your committee found Hint the.
most dilllcult task it had to poifouii
was to get nt the Hue lilwaulncsH
of tlm nteasuies pending befoio congicBs.
They tound Unit among liundicds ot bills
now pending beloro the senate and house on
tin on gieat questions ot the day , vi/ : land ,
transpoilntiou and linnnce , but tew
ot thorn weio drawn witli tl.o
view of accomplishing the most good
in tlio intcicstol the people , lint on the
contiaiyit was tlio common usnge of thu
enemies of Uio people to intiodiice n bill Unit
on the face ol it would scorn a good and
wholesome measuie In the inteiestof jiistieo
and equity , while in between lines it Mould
contain the most insidious clauses that
the cunning bi.iin ol n iiillroad
attorney could invent. Your committee also
lind that the mumhcis ot this order nnd other
woikingmen in gencial uio under conditions
often led to indorsing mensuios decidedly In-
jut ions to their own best in
terests. Again there is no pos-ilblo
chance ot educating tlm people
on these finuds by nnv thlnir Uiat Is said la
congiess , ns those who have cliargo of tbjs
class of legislation mo as n lido Uio most
skillful tacticians In pailinmontaiy debate lu
the house.
Your committee is of opinion that in order
lo comb it coiporntc inteiest aided , as it Is , by
nsubsidi/ed press , that something more thaii
a committee must take chnr.u of Uio matter.
