Dr. William A. Hammond is to con
tribute to tho Forum for Maroli an
articlo on "Mysterious Disappearances,"
in which ho will show that many of
tho persons who so strangely disappear
in our large cities aro subjects of a
temporary loss of personal identity, a
not unusual form of mental aberration ;
ond bo will cito many interesting cases
in support of this view.
Tho mutilation of tho bodies of raur-
dercd men to prevent identiQcatlon, in
one of tho latest phases of crime. A
Now York butcher has just been ecu
tenoed to Sing Sing for twenty years
for killtnrr August Bohle. Ho killed
him in a quarrel, and to cover his crimo
cut off the bead, which bo dropped in
tho river, and put tho body and sever
od limbs in u trunk and shipped it to
Baltimore. Another oise has come to
light at Eddhcton near Philadelphia.
A body of a man was found on Wed
nesday of last week near a pond. Tho
head and limbs wero missing. Tho
murderer has been found. Not long
ago a similar body was found in tho
Wissahickon.
However erroneous tno doctrines of
Rev. Dr. McQlvnn, pastor of St,
Stephen's It. C. Church, New York,
may bo on tho subject of property in
land, tho action of tho ecclesiastical
authorities in removing hira from tho
pastorate of his church on acoount of
his opinions is not meeting with gen
eral approval. Dr. McGlynn's opinions
ooincido with Henrv Gcorce's, and ho
was removed becanso ho participated
In the contest for Mayor of Now York
in George's behalf. Whilo we believe
tho theory of an equal division of prop
erty to be utterly inpracticable, if not
absolutely impossible, and look upon
it as a theory opposed to all accepted
principles upon which modern govern
ment is based, it is not a crime, either
oivil or ecclesiastical to hold to such i
doctrine, and the action of the Arch
bishop in removing Dr. McGlynn looks
like an arbitrary exercise ot authority.
Dr. McGlynn was summoned to ap
pear beforo tho Pope, but he declined
to tro. It is now said that he will bo
reinstated.
Chances in the Cabinet.
SPEAKER CARLISLE LIKELY TO SUCCEED
MR. MANNING.
Washington, Feb. 20. There is no
longer any doubt hero that Carlisle is
to be secretary of tho treasury. It is
also thought to be settled that Pendle
ton is goiog into tho cabinet and that
Garland is going out of it. There
does not seem to be so much certainty
as to tjoionel liamont, but it is the bet
ter opinion and belief that he will bo
postmaster-generah Ho has great cx-eonlive-
abilities and great skill in deal
ing with men. Thero is some specula
tion as to the disposition that is to bo
made of Mr. Endicott, who has won
general respect and good will in tho
war department. There is a general
disposition to assign him to the German
mission. Postmaster-General Vilas is
put down for attorney-general.
As to tho railroad commission it is
believed that Garland will bo at its
head ; Clark, of Massachusetts, former
ly president of the New England road,
is thought to be suro of a place, and
Kernan is likely to bo tbo Now Tork
member. It is hoped that the president
will hold these appointments until
after the adjournment of congress, so
that lie can appoint Colonel Morrison.
The friends of that gentleman say that
he will not accept tho place, and that
he flies at higher game.
The superior fitness of Mr. Carlisle
for the office of secretary of the treas
ury is recognized by every ono acquaint
ed with the intellectual equipment of
tho man. He is a hard student, a mas
ter of analysis, capablo of sustained
effort, and with great natural aptitudo
for public affairs. His talents have
ripened slowly. He was 40 years of
ago when ho entered congress only 10
years ago. At that time ho was un
known outside of his own state and
kuown there only as a lawyer. Ho has
risen head and shoulders above his col
leagues, and ranks next to Mr. Clay
himself in tbo estimation of his people.
Then, temperamentally, he is suited to
the post. He is a patient and extreme
ly pleasant man, and can dispose of a
crowd of callers as speedily and as sat
isfactorily as possible. This part of
tho work, which was so trying on Mr.
Manning, would prove no serious draft
on Mr. Carlisle at all. Mr. Carlisle as
a presiding officer stands almost alone
in tho history of tho place for fairness,
for moderation and parliamentary
knowlcdgo and skill. He has admin
istered his duties like a judge on tho
bench, and from his decisions thero is
never tho thought of appeal.
Six Months for Publio Schools-
The bill now beforo tho legislature,
making six months tbo minimum school
term is a good measure and ought to
pass. Heretofore tho children of tho
rural districts have bad opportunities
for study for fivo months in tho year,
followed by seven months of idleness
in which to forget all they learned dur
ing tho short term of school. No farm
er can keep his land in profitable con
dition, if ho allows weeds to grow dur
ing tho best part of tho year. Thoy
will spring up everywhere and choko
his grain, and his crops will be a fail,
uro. Wo cannot expect the minds of
children to expand when tho weeds of
idleness and ignorance aro allowed to
run riot tho greater portion of the year.
A school tax is tho best investment
a man can make. If bo has children,
and permits tbem to attend school reg
ularly, he will get his money back a
Iiunared-IoIJ. no who complains about
tho burden of keeping up tho schools
is usually the roan who docs not know
the Dentins ot education, and who is
willing that his children may grow up
in ignorance. When thoy kuow how
to dig and plow and drudgo aud tako
caro of stock, he considers their cduca
lion completed and they rtro brought
up to lives of bard woik, without any
intellectual enjoyment. When school
is in session such children attend when
thero Is nothing to bo dono at home,
and aro thus deprived of tbo benefits
of what they might learn by regular at
tendance and systematic study.
If there be any objection to this bill
it is that it does not yet mako tho term
long enough,
Tho New Bovenuo Bill.
A new rovonuo bill has been favor.
ably reported by tho ways nnd meant)
committco of tbo Houso at Harrisburg
and is now peforo that body ior con
sideration. It is entitled an act to ro
vlso, amend nnd consolidate tho sever
al rovenue laws of this Commonwealth
which imposes taxes upon personal
property and upon banks, corporations,
limited partnerships, bankers and brok
ers, and is tho Joint production ot a
commission composed ot Auuuor won
cral Nlluc Auditor General-elect Nor-
ris, Stato Treasurer Quav and Hufus
E Shanlev. of this cltv.
Tho bill is just what it professes to
- ,i -. - - i .
do a consolidation oi laws now on
tho statute books, with such changes
ns recent decisions of the Supremo
Court havo rendered absolutely nccess
nry and a few others intended to mako
tho law explicit, effectivo nnd easily
understood. The principal changes
aro four in number, as follows ;
First. Tbo tax on watches, house
hold furniture, Including gold and ail
ver plate and pleasure carriages, is re
pealed absolutely.
Second. One-half the personal prop
erty tax or tax on monoy at Interest is
returned to tho counties collecting it.
Third. Any mortgago or other se
curity containing a provision making
tho borrower liablo to pay tho tax up
on it, is rendered void in any court of
law or equity.
Fourth. Tho stook of companies
which pay to tho Stato tho tax imposed
on their capital stock is exempted from
taxation in tho hands of tho holders.
In other words, tho tax cannot bo col
lected on tho fame stock twice.
The wisdom of these changes will
hardly bo disputed by any intelligent
man. Tho tax upon watohes, house
hold furniture and pleasuro carriages
is a tax upon property that ordinarily
produces no rovonuo to its owners, and
is for that reason, if no other, unjust.
It is intended that tbo man who gets a
revenuo from his money at interest
shall pay tho tax upon it, benco the
provision preventing its exaotion from
tho borrower. No ono would desire to
collect two taxes from the same prop
erty, and tho provision exempting stock
already taxed is intended to prevent
this injustice. The diversion of one-
half tho tax on money at interest into
tho county treasuries gives tho County
Commissioners a direct incentivo to a
faithful collection of tho tax, as tbo
local burdens on real estato can bo re
duced just to tho extent of tho amount
realized in this way. Another good
feature of tho new bill is that it is
written in good, plain English, and can
bo easily understood nnd enforced by
the othcials charged with tho collection
of the taxes levied by its provisions.
Tho provision which has made tho law
effective since 1885 is retained, that
requiring all taxables to make a sworn
return of all their taxable property.
No estimate has yet been given the
publio by tho commission preparing
tho now bill ns to its probable effect
UDon tho revenues ot the State. A
casual glanco at its provisions leads to
tho conclusion, however, that it will
increase rather than diminish them, as
it is so framed as to insure tho collec
tion of taxes npon a large amount of
property that heretofore has success
fully evaded taxation. Tho bill is tho
work of men who have bad more prac
tical experience with the subject of
collecting taxes than any similar num
ber of men that could havo been found
in the State Unless it can bo shown
that it will in some way disastrously
affect tho Stato revenues, which is not
probable, the Legislature Bhould pass
it as promptly as possible. It codifies
and makes consistent and intelligible
a system of tax laws which heretofore
has beeu obscure and to a certain ex
tent antagonistic. Times.
WASHINGTON LETTER
From our Regular Correspondent.
WAsmsoTON. D. 0.. Feb. 21, 1887.
As to what Congress is doing just
now, I may say tbo Senate is overdo
ing the Naval Appropriation business,
and tbo IIouso is trying to get on with
tho regular, indispensable appropria
tion bills. The past week was marked
by some important legislation, promi
nent among which was tho passage of
mil, uv tue senate ana the rigorous
Anti-Polygamy bill by both tho Senate
and IIouso.
You may remember that this meas
ure passed tho Sonate some time since
but it was amended by tbo House, and
now the Scnato has passed it as it came
trora tbo House.
Only seven votes were recorded
against tbo scheme, of Capt. Eads ior
constructing a ship railway across the
isthmus of Tehuautepec. These were
cast by Senators Edmunds, Jones of
Arkausas, Morrill, Piatt, Vance, Van
Wyck, and Wilson of Iowa. Tho bill
incorporates Capt. Eads and some
eighty other persons named, as a body
politio under the name of tho Atlantic
and l'aciho Ship Hallway Company,
The stock is not to exceed SIOO.OOO,-
UUU; ana when ten per cent, of stcok
is subscribed and ten per cent paid in
cash, a meeting of stockholders is to
bo held in Washington or Now York,
for tho election of directors. If ten
millions of stock is not subscribed for,
and ten per cont. of it paid in cash
within two years, tbo charter is to ex
piro by limitation. Consequently tho
Government is not committed to tbo
project pecuniarily, 'and makes no guar
antees. Tbo Senate has passed bills appro
priating about fifty millions for ships
of war coast defenses and other warliko
preparations. If the Senato had really
wauted to do soruethiuc for tbo Navv.
it would have passed these bills early
onoiign to permit ot their consideration
by tho IIouso of Representatives. It
ought not be expected that tho Houbc
will pass measures of such magnitude,
without an examination which there is
not now timo to give. Bat, of course,
tho Sonato will get tho credit of hav
ing made a brilliant effort towards au
increase of tbo naval establishment,
and tho House will bo condemned for
neglect of its duty in this matter.
Everybody is wondering whom tho
President wilt appoint on the Interstate
Commission. Among tbo scores of
men who havo been mentioned for a
place, Gen. Atkin, tho present Com
missioner of Indian Affairs, is ono of
tho latest. His friends Bay ho is a man
who could bo officially, as much of a
friend to the railroads as to tho people.
Said one of them, "He could do justico
to both, and nt tbo same time has mor
al forco Bulllcicnl to outndo thi temp
tation of winking at tho Now York
brokers for a consideration.'1
On noxt Thursday an effort will bo
made in the House of Representatives
to pass the Pauper Pension bill over
the President's veto, and tho Republi
cans nro expected to press tho matter
to siioh an extent that thero will doubt
less bo a pretty lively fight. Tho im
pression U, however, that it will bo im
possible to overrule tho veto.
The first Mexican pension under tho
recent act granting pensions to the sur
vivors of that war, was issued on last
Friday. It went to tho hero of Ccrro
Gordo, cx-Scnator Williams, of Kon
tticky. If all tho Mexican veterans
wero nblo to verify their claims to nn
nllowanco nnd securo it ns readily as he,
short work would bo mado of tho Mex
ican pension business, nt least, His ap
plication was filed in tbo Commission
ers' office at eleven o'olock ono day
last week, nnd tho pension certificate
was mailed in tho atternoon ot tho
samo day.
Tho Cabinet continues to bo a theme
of discussion. A week ago it was bo
lioved that Mr. Fairchild, tho Assist
ant Secretary, was the man for tho
place, but suddenly publio opinion
chanced entirely. Somo say that the
President will appoint a wide-awake,
practicat politician to succeed Air,
Manning. When tho latter tendered
his resignation tho President brought
up tho subject of his successor, nnd
Mr. Manning urged upon him tho ne
cessity of nvnlliiia himself of tbeZop-
portunlty to appoint a strong Demo
crat ot national reputation, ana sug

A DomocratioConoressman of prom

Left to Die in the Snow.
THOUSANDS 01' HEAD OF CATTLE LOST IN
DAKOTA AND WYOMING.
A correspondent of tho N. Y. Trib
une, writing from Rapid city, Dakota,
tells tho following story of death among
cattle : A journey down tbo western
slopo of the Black Hills to tho plains
of Wyoming in winter adds more to a
man's information than pleasure. Tho
soverity of tho weather has been felt
throughout tho country ; but on theso
western plains, sheltered by tho moun
tains, whero rough wintry storms aro
little oxpeotcd and no provision is mado
to resist them, the winter has assumed
a grim and terrible aspect. Tho writer
in company with tho manager of a
Dakota cattlo company which keeps
10,000 head of cattlo wintering on the
ranges of western Dakota and eastern
Wyoming, recently made the journey
down tho western slopo of the Hills to
tho Wyoming plains to observe how
the herds survive tho storms of winter
without food or shcltor.
Tho valleys of the western Hills, es
pecially tho deep and narrow valley of
tho Inyon Kaga, aro filled to tho depth
of eight or ten feet with snow. Theso
valleys aro rendered passablo to tho
traveler only by tho constant coming
nnd going of tho long trains of freight
wagons. In general a single beaten
track winds through tho narrow valley
and continuous cnbankments of snow
four or fivo feet high wall in tho road.
At irregular intervals there aro meeting-places
whero tho snow is beaten
down over a spaco wide enough for
two teams to pass without boing buried.
Along tho Inyon Kaga tho Hills rise
from 300 to 1,000 feet on either side.
Hero nnd there along tho steep hill
sides tbo hut of ,a miner or hunter
stands in desolate solitude sending up
its smoke among the black pine groves
or tbo snow covered rocks. Otherwiso
these yalleys aro vast solituJes, dis
turbed only by tho noiso of the torreuts
and tho rumbling of tho freightwagons.
Tho valleys gradually widen and the
hills dwindlt away and finally merge
into ono wide wasto of drifting snow.
Hero and there a few blades of wither
ed grass riso above tho surface of snow
and the region has an unutterably wild
and desolato look. Far as tho eye can
reach it finds nothing but this Sahara
of drifting Bnow over which tho wind
sweeps and howls, savo whero hero and
there tho smoke is Bten curling up
from tbo chimney of a herdsman's hut
half-buried in the drifts. On the plain
tho snow is found several feet lighter
than in tho valleys above, averaging
from eight to eighteen inches. But the
wind blows a hurricane from the north
and tho air is filled with blinding clouds
of snow. This g.'eat plain, buried deep
in snow, is perhaps the greatest cattlo
range of the Northwest, being tho sum
mer and winter pasture of hundreds of
thousands ot cattle.
Long before reaching tho principal
ranch or headquarters of the company,
evidences of the fatal soverity of the
winter storms were found in the car
casses of cattle half buried in tbo snow
that lay scattered over tho plain. Look
ing in any direotion, a horn a nose or
an upturned leg could be soon project
ing above the snow. In a drive of
fitty miles along the western skirt of
the Hills, there was scarcely a moment
when tho carcass of an animal was not
visible within a few rods of the track.
Sometimes ten or a dozen lay in a group
on tho south side of a knoll or in a
narrow ravine, where water might onco
havo run. Many of them havo frozen
stiff whilo standing on tbeir feet. Here
and there an animal or a group of ani
mals could be seen standing motionless
and dead with noses resting in tho
snow. Troops of hungry coyotes come
prowling down from tho Hills to gorge
themselves on the frozen carcasses.
Many an animal can bo seen near the
foot of tho Hills standing stiffly on its
feet among the drifting snow with
great holes torn in its sides by theso
famishing creatures.
Four days were spent at tho rauch
of the Dakota Company, nnd I had an
opportunity of more carefully inspect
ing tho winter's havoo among the herds.
Three months ago more than ten thcu
eand cattlo owned by this company
wero grazing upon this range, nil of
them fat and healthy. It would tako
tho appliances of a Spanish Inquisition
to extort from tho owuers a confession
of their present number. In ono ravine
where tho cattlo used to find water,
lay 107 dead, in littlo more than a milo's
distance. Most of them wero lying
down, often four or fivo piled together
showing that thoy had stood in groups
striving by uuiled effort to resist tho
deadly power of the ficeziug blast.
Calves from six to eight months old
lying by tho sides or their mothers
wero among tbo commonest sights. At
oho spot a young calf lay half buried
in tho duow whilo tho poor mother
stood over it with her nose touching
its neck. At another spot stood a cow
stiffened with cold, and a young calf
by her side standing in attitude to suck.
In another ravino eighty-two dead cat
tlo wero found heaped together. In
tho midst of tbo group wa9 an old red
bull standing on his feel surrounded
by heaps of cows nnd calves. Most of
tho cattlo wero lying down i somo of
them had fallen upon tbeir kneed, aud
half a dozen were on their feet. Cows
exhausted by tho summer's sucking
nnd spring calves avo tho fnvoritu vie-1
tims of tho stormn, and theso lie scat-
teied over the prairie in thousand.1.
Tho liviiiL' cattlo I'O nhntit nmonrr
their frozen mates and are, if possible, '
n moro pitiful tight thou tho heaps of
carcasses. Thousands of oattlo nro
staeaorlnK in tho snow so fecblo that
they could never regain strength If
spring should open to-morrow. Tho
strongest are littlo moro than skoietons.
tho long dry hair Btands on end and li
a vain protection from the pitiless wind
that whlBtlcd through It. They stand
nil day and all night, their backs arched
up and their nosrs touohing tho snow.
It is as yet impossible moro than
vaguely to guess tho amount of loss
sultcrcd by the grazers ot theso .Dako
ta nnd Wyoming ranges. Tho own
ers of tho herds nro extremely cautious
in their statements. A stranger might
infer from the tnlk of tho cattlo men
up in tho towns of tho Hills that only
a few of tho poorer and weaker cottlo
are dying, whilo tho bulk of tho bcrds
nro standing tho winter quite well.
Even when standing in theso sheltered
ravines with hundreds of dead cattle
lying around, tho drovers "pooh pooh"
it off with nssurances that this is "an
extraordinary scene," that "a large
number of weak, thin cattlo gathered
together hero and died off whilo tho
general herd are rustling about littlo
hurt," But after visiting half a dozen
of these ravines nnd finding in nil of
them strikingly similar scones and no
where anything dillerent, tho suspicion
naturally arises that this is perhaps a
fair representation of tho general con
dition of tho cattlo on theso great
ranges. That thousands havo already
perished is unquestionable That thou
sands more will perish before spring is
next to inevitable.
Thero is not the slightest winter
provision mado for these vast herds.
A mnn may own ten thousand head
and havo not n bushel of corn, nor a
ton of hay, or a single shed forBheltcr.
It is not the intense cold or tho pierc
ing wind that is dreaded, but tho heavy
snowfall. So long as it continued dry
thero is no fear of winter. Nature
furnishes unmown hay in abundance
and whilo tho weather is dry tho cattlo
live almost as well on theso plains as
in tho barns of Now England or among
tho corn fields of Illinois and Iowa.
But when tbo dreaded snow comes
nnd buries tho standing bay crop, there
is nothing for tho cattlo but starvation
and freezing.
The great grazers of theso ranges
laugh nt an eastern man's prosaio sug
gestions of methods for the prevention
of this extravagant loss. They laugh
at tho idea of providing hay for 10,000
cattlo or building shelter to protect
such herds. A severe winter is said to
bo an exception so raro that it would
nover pay to mako provision for it.
But this is a species of philosophy not
oasily digested after a week spent in
riding over the ranges and seeing tho
thousands of cattlo lying dead among
tho drifting snow.
Coast Defenses.
A HILL APPROPRIATING $3,980,000
DRAWN BY THE HOUSE MILITARY
COMMITTEE.
Washington, Feb. 22. Tho House
committee on military affairs has
completed its bill to provide for tho na
tional defense, and it will brt presented
to the IIouso as soon as a report can
be prepared. It appropriates 82,500,
000 for the purchase of steel forgings
for guns of 8, 10 nnd 12-inch, $680,000
for tbo establishment of a gun foun
dry at such an arsenal as the board
may select; S500.000 for tho construc
tion of 12-inch rifled mortars j $600,
000 for torpedo boats, torpedoes and
submaiine 'mines ; S250,000 for gun
carriages ; $2..0,000 for field artillery
and equipment. Contracts for all ma
terial, oxcept such as is furnished from
government workshops, shall bo award
ed to tho lowest responsible bidders,
but it must all bo of American manu
facture.
Tho last, section of tho bill provides
that it shall bo executed under the su
pervision of an Advisory Board, of
which Lieutenant General Sheridan bo
chairman, and which shall bo appoint
ed by tho President as follows : One
brigadier general, one ofhaer of engi
neers, not above tho rank of lieutenant
colonel ; one officer of artillery and
ono officer of tho ordnance service.
neither of tbo last named to be above
tho rank of captain. Tho President
shall add to tho board one officer of
tho navy, whoso rank shall not be
above that of captain, to act as a mem
ber in tho duties of construction and
purchase of torpedo boats, topedoes
and submarine mines suitable for const
defense. To enable testa of gunB, oic,
to bo made $200,000 is appropriated.
Tbo bill was prepared by Chairman
Brag and is acceptable to all the
members of the committee, although
in the discussion whioh followed its
presentation it appeared that several
members favored a more liberal appro
priation than is carried by the bill. Mr.
utcneon was desirous that a provision
should be included to authorize tho
manufacture and test of a number of
cast steel guns of a largo calibre and it
is prooaoie mat ne will otter an amend
ment to supply tbo omission of this fea
ture if the bill receives consideration in
the House. The Speaker will be con
suited by members of tho committee
as to the best method of getting the
bill before tho IIouso, but itisbelieved
a chance, to securo action can bo found
only in tho six "suspension days,"
wnen a two-tmras voto will be neces
sary.
A Great Victory
A Terrible Case of Scrofula
Cured by
Hood's Sarsaparilla
" In tho winter of 1879 I was attacked with
Scrofula In one of the most aggravating forms.
At ono time I had no less than thirteen largo
abscesses over and around ray neck and throat,
continually exuding an offensive mass of
Woody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost Intolerable to endure. It is Imposslblo
to fully describe my sufferings, as the caso
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years of misery, having been treated by
three physicians, I was worse than ever.
Finally, on tho recommendation of W. J.
Huntley, druggist, of Lockport, I was Induced
to try Hood's Sarsaparilla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months, the scrofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, ami the abscesses have all
disappeared, except the unsightly scars.whlch
are dally becoming" smaller by degrees, and
beautifully less.' tT do not know what It may
have done for others, but I do know that In
my case, Hood's Sarsaparilla has proved an
effective tpeclflo indeed. As an evidence of
my gratitude I send theso facts unsolicited,
and I am ready to verify the authenticity of
this cure, by personal correspondence with
any ono who doubts It." Ciiajiles a. Hon
