The Reason Why.
-Iin Washington Star,
one of
the most conservative ami
trustworthy newspapers In
tlie country, lets the cut out
ot the h.'iK as to the reason why con
Kres Is so stubborn in its refusal to
accept the president's recommendation
of KunoruuH leeiproclty with Cuba. It
dues this by means of the following
parable:
"In the beKRlns woilil the spectacle is
often presented of it strong looking
woman with a baby In her arms ap
pealing for alms to the passing crowd.
Vsimlly the child Is not hers, but has
been borrowed for professional pur
poses. The woman's appearance Is
against the hope of a generous collec
tion. Her vigor prevents her ftoin
touching hearts. And there Is where
the baby comes In. A sly pinch will
set it crying-, and those who would
never have contributed to the woman's
support find themselves unable to ie
slst the wail of the little stranger. Tho
combination is most effective, and the
baby gathers in the shekels.
"Heboid how this came voiks in tlie
house of representatives. The steel
trust, strong, vigorous, and able "to
make Its own way unassisted, Is resist
ing all effoits at reciprocity or tnrllf
ievlslon. Its profits are enormous. Its
business Is secuie. It is selling at its
own figures at home, and abroad at
figures lower than its competitors and
is capturing a good deal of their busi
ness. Much of tho protection afforded
it by the tariff iates now imposed is
purely a gut, and it should be with
drawn. The steel trust's plaint would
touch no hearts. A begging giant is an
object of derision rather than of nity.
So the giant has borrowed a baby the
beet sugar baby and is keeping it
wailing steadily. We hear nothing else
but about what will happen to the beet
sugar industry if reciprocal trade re
lations aie established with Cuba. We
we told that it will languish and die.
It promises to grow and become a. lusty
youngster IT properly cared for, hut
that care comptehends the exclusion of
Cuban sugar from Ihe enjoyment of any
H.ecial rates of entry Into the- maikets
oi tun united States. This
combination is a lmmbinr."
It. was Harnum who said the Amerl-
people delight to he humbugged,
is not true in this Instance. Thnv

!)J. Twenty-eight persons were report
ed as having been bit ton by these rabid
niilitmls. Tho records of the health de
partment of the Dlstilct of Columbia
shows 7 deaths of humnn being from
hydrophobia since August 1, 1871."
These developments, Dr. Bulinon con
tinues, were entirely unexpected. It
hud nut been supposed that rabies ex
isted to ilils extent anywhere In tho
United .Stales. Instead of being till ex
it einely into dlseuse, to be found but
once or twice In u lifetime, even by
those who are diligently seeking It for
the purpose of Investigation, us has
been represented, tbo facts cited show
that rubles has existed for years almost
continuously tit the national capital,
In order to learn something of the oc
currence of rabies In other parts of the
United States, Information was re
iiucsted of veterinary schools, stale
Veterinarians, and other persona who
would probably be In possession of such
facts, A number of very carefully pro-
pared replies were received, and some
of them uru almost as surprising as
weie tho results at Washington.
Dr. Charles I. I,ymnn, dean ot tbo
school of veterlnury medicine at Har
vard university, estimated that from
23 Id JJ0 cases of rabies had been ob
served at that School within IS years.
Dr. Coates, of the American Veterinary
college, New York, reported an average
of 7 cases a year. Dr. Wilson, assist
ant bacteriologist of tbo department of
health, New York city, had In three
years confirmed the diagnosis of 10
cases in domestic animals and :: In the
human subject. Dr. Leonard Pearson,
of I he veterinary department of the
University of Pennsylvania, reported
that In II years that school had ic
ceivvd in Its hospital from U00 to -100
unrittostlonablo cases of rabies. As
state veterinarian. Dr. Pearson also les
Hlled to the existence of a great deal
of rabies In the farm animals in dif
ferent parts of Pennsylvania. Forty or
fifty moi e authorities reported sim
ilarly, their reports In detail appearing
In the bulletin.
So that, it seems to be scientlllcally
established that rabies Is a much more
fienucnt disease of animals than is
generally supposed; and this being true,
precautions taken in tho interest of the
public health deserve co-operation from
good citizens. There Is, however, at
this time no warrant for a hydrophobia
fccarc.

How Pat Hold His Job.
Ihe following story was told the other eteuliig
at an l.'.ut Side club by one of Milwaukee's best
story tellers:
"An Irishman, out of work and poor in putie,
but idrong in the faith of his forefathers, was
walking along n i-runtry load in search of em
ployment. He had Irateled for some distune?,
when ho met a Lutheran farmer, to whom liu at
once applied for something to do.
"After asklnif lifm his name, whence he had
come and what he eould do, the fanner told tho
nun tli.il lie could gite him employment, but, as
he Judged f i om his nationality that he was a
Catholic, ho feared that his conscience would
not permit him to do cterythlng th.it might bo
itipiired of him.
" Tailh, and phat ii it that cz 'ml hate me
do?' asked I'at.
" 'Well,' replied tho faVmcr, 'among other
things, it would he jour duty lo dritc lay wife
and myself to church etery Sunday morning.'
" 'Sure, Oi'd have no objections to doiu" the
loikes of that,' said l'at,
" 'Very well, then,' remarked the farmer, ' oil

"The following .Sunday morning I'at hitched

make up Ids mind whether to lite up to his
iigicemint, or to get oil the wagon, go to m.wi

he set his teeth, put the leias to the hoises and,
casting one lingering look at his clinch, said:
