Pasteur’s bands, and there are those who regard the fact as conclusive of the failure of bis widely advertised cure or preventive. The fact is, nothing has been proved con clusively by or against M. l’astenr's system as applied to hnman beings. It is held by the best informed medical men and admitted by the Frenchman him self that the bite of a mad dog does not necessarily produce hydrophobia; that the result of such a bite depends upon the na ture and condition of the victim. No man can say that Pjistour’s treatment has yet saved a life, nor can his treatment be accepted a* a defense against the dread malady until a long trial followed by uni versally satisfactory results has been had. Rut on the other hand, nothing has been proven against the system. Tbo first vic tim that died wns received about three weeks after the bite was inflicted. Mr. Pasteur’s treatment was given him merely to afford him a chance of life, and the re sult was foretold. The second patient just dead, received his wound from a mad wolf, and it is held that the virus used in Mr. Pasteur’s labratory is graded to check the virus of the mad dog only, and that the poison from a wild animal afflicted with the rabies is far more malignant. It mast not be forgotten though, that out of hundreds of persons threatened with hydrophobia, who have been treated, the only ones that died, did not come within the conditions upon which Mr. Pasteur promises a cure. Capital Alarmed. The New York Journal of Commerce, in a thoughtful article upon the present labor troubles, advances the assertion that the country is suffering gTeat loss, beyond the burning of bridges, the killing of engines and the interruption of commercial traffic. It contends that the menacing attitude of the strikers in every section of tbo country has hail the effect to stop enterprises and to lockup capital that would otkerwiso ho actively engaged in industrial enterprises. In support of this it refers to n case within iU own knowledge of a firm that had re futed to take a large contract for the build ing of steamships, for fear that after under taking the contract, which would have given honest and remunerative employment to thousands of laborers, the whole thing might be brought to a stand-still by strikers. This is only one instunce out of many that might he mentioned, for it has been truly said, "nothing is more timid tlmn a million dollars, except two millions." Tho bead of the Knights of Labor is quoted as saying that nine out of t.e ten strikes are unwarranted. These nine un justifiable strikes are inflicting great hard ships on many innocent people, among them women and children who aro depend ent upon the idlers for their daily bread. The Macon and Covington ltailroat). There seems to be an impression abroad, notably in the territory of the Macon and Covington railroad, that the city of Macon opposes and is unfriendly to the enterprise. Wt do not know who is responsible for this impression, bnt we do know that it hss no proper cause for existence. Macon is en tirely friendly to the Macon and Coving ton road, has treated it liberally, and only insisted that the officers shall carry out their written promises. All differences that ex isted have been satisfactorily adjusted, and the fete of the road is entirely within the hands of its projectors. accessory before and afttr the fact. This is a mere brutum fulmen, and only voices the opinion of a partisan majority. The Senate ba*s no power to punish either Mr. Cleveland or his Attorney-General. But during the conrsp of the trial Mr. Cleveland, if the cuticle all over his body be not as thick as that of lm neck, lias been terribly punished, not by Senator Edmunds and his gang, but by Democratic Senators, who one after the other have openly ar raigned him l*eforo the country for tho un paralleled folly of attempting to ruu a Dem ocratic administration with Republican spies and informers. The speeches are all finished, and Mr. Cleveland and the Mugwumps can pro ceed to dress their wounds. Perhaps the Senate may find opportunity to address itself to the public business. The Repub beans were utterly overthrown in the argu ment. The administration was downed by the facts. What next ? If the Republican Senators shall proceed to reject Mr. Cleveland’s ap pointments, much good will be done. A fow good men may suffer, but the public service cannot suffer from the rejection of many bad ones. Even with deception and imposition Mr. Cleveland cannot find nnother lot as bad within the ranks of the Democratic and Mugwump parties. If he shall withdraw the bad appoint ments je has made, which aro unacted upon, and demand the resignation of the rascals he has put id, he will commend him self to the Democrats and to tho country. Rut the Republicans will go right along con tinuing the had and weak men whom he has picked out for "public trusts” in order to sliamo and burden tho Democratic party. cannot see that the situation has been changed by a long and dreary debate in the Senate, which lias emphasized tho fact, that the Democmtic party has no sympathy with the personal policy of Mr. Cleveland. at the attitude of Collector Crtunhavr aud liis der tie» la the race. They have formulated their com {ilaintK and forwarded them to Washington. They declare that be has acked hiA deputise to work ac tively In their various district* to secure the nomi nation of Hon. A. O. Bacon, and that on tbe»*e gug* geotions the deputies are neglecting the public busi ness and giving their time to pergonal polities. Let ters have been received by Judge Simmons and his friends stating these facts, aud naming depntieg who are working even out of their districts in oppo sition to Judge Simmons. The Simmons men gay they have no objection to the position Collector Crenshaw takes, but think it is not right for him to tils office and influence the men at work under him to promote the ambition of any Democrat as gainst another Democrat, and that they intend to ee If the department at Washington does not agree with them. One of the points made is that Collec tor Crenshaw himself has been going about the State with Mr. Bacon. Collector Crenshaw denies emphatically that there are any grounds for the com plaints referred to. Rut the average citi zens will be struck with such a complaint coming from the friends of n candidate, who Las industriously used the power and influence of a judicial officer, to promote his political ambition. The friends of ft Judge, elected aud paid by the people of Georgia to preside in the courts of a stated circuit, and who travels about the State notoriously in the interest of his own can didacy, should have small measure of com plaint against Collector Crenshaw, if tho changes made can be substantiated by competent proof. There can be no difference in the respon sibility for sncli conduct in a Federal or a State officer. Since an appeal has been made to tho authorities at Washington, the people would do well to keep a sharp eye upon other Fed eral officers whose appointments have been secured by designing politicians. "The sauce for tho goose should be sauce for the gander” in this matter. We have been ap prised that a prominent politician of this State declared in Washington when there was a hitch in the appointment of a certain Federal officer, that if it failed the combi nation would be ruined. That everything had been fixed for the applicant and his deputies to render important political Civil Service Reform. In another column we give place to the majority and minority reports upon the hill to repeal the civil service reform law. It will bo seen that Mr. Clements, onu of onr representatives, marches right up to this issue in an admirable report. We hope he may be able to get the whole matter before tho House on a fair issue, so that there can he no dodgiug. The people of Goorgia de sire to know just where tneir representa tives stand, and Mr. Clements can do a great service by bringing them to a recorded vote. If tho matter can ho reach* d in no other way, not a dollar should be appropriated to support the Civil Service Commission. It has been sufficiently tried to exhibit the fact that it is a miserable sham and hum bug, in spirit and in its practical applica tion. The Democratic Senators have been out spoken in debate. Let tho Representatives starve tho bustard of the Mugwump and Raritan to death.

No ipner on earth can compel a man to ptibliiX a newspaper, run a rolling mill, or work a coal mine at his loss or against his wishes. It is fortunate that there is some where a point beyond which trade unions and legislatures are powerless. A man cm die but once, and no human agency can persecute him beyond this life. A man can risk all hia property if lie pleases on the issue r f aa encounter with strikers. It is not often necessary to play a stake so high and desperate. But if one boldly faces auch a hazard he has i t least the satisfaction of knowing that the game is closed. His an- ta“<*nist cannot touch him further. A ship building company tho other day refused a $'2*25,OtMl contract for constructing two steamers for the Hoboken Land Improve ment Association on the express ground that it is dangerous to undertake new and expensive work at a time when strikes are raging all over the country. The long-headed shipbuilders know the stuff of which trade unions are made. They are perfectly well aware that if they should assume a contract for building two first- class ferry boats for $225,000, tho bare an nouncement of that fact would cause the trade unions to resolve to "jump” on them, in the expressive language of strikers. The leaders of those bodies would simply wait until the work was well advanced. The men in the shipyard would he quiet and ap parently contented. The employers would congratulate themselves on having such ex cellent hands, and would take pleasure and pride, we may suppose, in being able to give steady work and good wages to ho many men these hard times. Suddenly, like thunderbolt out of a clear sky, would come a demand tor fewer hours per day at the same or increased wages, or for the discharge of some favorite aud trusted fore man who had been with the shipbuilding company for twenty years. Or the com pany might be called on to restore to place and pay some man who had been discharged for drunkenness and wns still in good and regular standing with the Knights of Labor. Or a strike might be threatened if the com pany continued to employ more than one apprentice to one hundred men, or did not turn off a Hungarian or an Italian against whom all the other men had bitter race prejudices. Or the trouble might arise from the fact that the company bought some of its supplies from a firm which had incurred the tkadlv enmity of the Knights and was boycotted. In that case all the faithful members of the Brotherhood must not han dle, or in any way use, any implements or articles produced by the firm under bun. There are still other conditions under which strikes may be sprung upon peaceable employers. But those we have mentioned are the kinds most likely to occur—when an employer has been rash enough to take a $225,(XK) contract and expose himself front and rear to the assaults of labor unions. Ami it ia not the strikers alone with whom the unfortunate man has to deal. If news papers are published in his town or villa; the chances are ten to oue that to retain their subscribers among this class they will sympathize with the strikers in everything they do short of actual robbery, arson or murder. Besides mere personal, there are also political consideration®. The editor® are partisan politicians and are afraid of offending the trade unions, which nre a great power on election days. Or else they aro trying desperately to increase the sales of their papers, and find it more profitable to sell 100 extra copies to the strikers than one to the mnn who is struck. And this is not all. The local officials—- specially if they are of the alderman stripe —may be counted almost to a man on the Hide of the winkers. Just when the em ployer is in the thickest of his troubles these aldennen will pass resolutions declaring that eight hours ought to he a day’s work and iustcud of $2.50 a day’s wages; that pauper labor ought not to bo introduced in the United Kates, even in the form of n single Hungarian, Italian or Chinese, etc. Nor is the end yet. If— to crown all the otlior misfortunes—tho State Legislature is iu session, some demagogue will not miss the glorious opportunity to flatter the Knights And make friends and supporters of them, lie will offer a resolution vindicat ing the "rights of labor” to do nil it pro poses. This may or may not bo adopted. That is of no consequence. The whole ob ject is gained by a reference to a committee • to which the other demagogues of ull parties gladly consent. There the resolu tion may rest, with other trash, unless, in deed, it is the genu of nn investigating com mittee which subsequently travels all over the State at an expense of thousands of dollars to the taxpayers, and carrying terror to employers wherever it goes. With such odds against him it is no wonder that a uiau declines contracts, since the effect of accepting them would only be to precipitate strikes which might bo rnnous to the best planned enterprise*. Where one instance--lik6 that of the ship building company in question -is publicly announced, there nre hnndreds of similar cases never heard of outside of the parties directly interested. At this moment there are probably business ventures to the ex tent of many millions of dollars which are postponed indefinitely became the natural risks involved in them have hceu vastly aug mented bv the spring strikes. This Is one way in which tne folly of tbe Knights of Labor recoils upon themselves. It is also a way which commands itself strongly to employers who lack the nerve and resources to contend against wanton strikers. In de fault of better means it is not to bo despised.

At 2 o’clock to morrow Senator Platt will call np the bill to admit Washington Territory to the family of States. Next to the two measures mentioned the inter-sale commerce bill aud the bankruptcy bill are booked for con sideration. Senator Wilson will continue hia watch for nn opportunity to try the passage of the Dt-sMoines river settlers bill over the President's veto. In the llonse the friends of the educa tion bill will seek sn open issue with its opponents. Sir. Willis will report the new education bill under the coll of States oml move its reference to some other than the education committee. This committee lus nndeft- nitriy pigeon-holed the Senate bill and all similar measures now before it, and its members are expected to resist any effort to take this subject from its jurisdiction. The result to-morrow is looked forward to oh a test of the strength of the measure in tbe House. Of the fourteen regular appropriation bills three have passed the House, namely, the pension, the urgent deficiency and the Indian bills. The committee on ways and means will probably call np lor consideration during the turning hour this week tbe bill relating to the eatabusbment of export tobacco fac tories. The committee on hanking and currency will endeavor to perfect and se cure consideration for some measure to guard against a contraction of the currency. nu plow-hnndils is harder ter git use' ter be. fWnnst I wnz a riding’ her clo 8 ' spring-branch, w'en we cum aerost whip c’lled in do sun'.
