A Few Words of Explana¬
tion.
Some time last fall there was a
petition to the council asking
them to take the cattle off the
streets of the town, at or about
the same time there was a peti¬
tion asking the council to let
them remain on the streets. But
the latter was considerably in the
majority and the petition was
tabled for a while to give the
cow men time to enlarge their
petition which they failed to do.
During the time the anti cow men
has asked us several times to take
up the subject aud give them a
heariug, which were due them, I
for one (thought that the town
was probably too small for us to
do away with the cow in a perma¬
nent way) offered an ordinance
that to my opinion will meet the
demands at present and still the
majority of people in town and
all of them arround the town will
be in shape to keep their stock
and not be bothered by the ordi¬
nance. I only offered this as a
compromise feature to start with.
I think something like this will
probably stand for several years,
but I don’t think that takiug the
stock clear out of the town will
stand long, as from the best I
can find out that it has been the
habit of small towns to vote one
way one time and the other way
next time, keeping the people in
hot water all the time. I would
like for every body to study care¬
fully the ordinance that we have
offered for ratifiaction, and if yon
think best vote for it and if not
vote against it. I had as soon
see you vote one way as the other.
All we want to do is to act demo¬
cratic fob the people and to the
interest of the town to the best
of our ability.
Respectfully,
H. B. TUCKER.
Mr. Davis Discusses
Disfranchisement.
Mr. N. B. Davis has handed to
the Journal an article in which
he discusses the evils of the Dis¬
franchisement Act, which will be
submitted to the voters for ratifi¬
cation this fall. Mr. Davis takes
the view that the law will be
dangerous in its political effect.

In north China which was fatal to the
scale. A large number of the bugs
were procured, but all were dead ex¬
cept one when they reached this coun¬
try. This one Insect was taken to

German Government.
Since 1871 all the states of Germany
have been grouped, under the emperor
as head, Into a federation somewhat
similar to that of the United States.
There are two houses of assembly
first, the upper house of the federated
states, known as the “federal council”
(bundesrath), the members of which
represent the Individual states In pret¬
ty much the same way that our sena¬
tors represent their respective states,
except that the number coming from
each state Is not uniform, as with us,
but apportioned, and, second, the lower
house, or house of commons of the
realm (reichstag). elected fofc threo
years by ballot of all male Germans
over twenty-one years of age. In the
meantime each German state has its
own local constitution and local gov¬
ernment. ns is the case with the states
of the American Union.—New York
