Ia half a dutm difTor ent place about the city the grealeat excitement prevails, due to the flml iiiB of the preciou metal by pros wctor,! The excitement began when an an nouiiceaiant was made) public by R. L. Itoyce, an old-lime pronpector ol the Wca', that ho hud found gold In the city street. Royce came here recently from Colorado to visit rela tives'. Ilia attention was attracted to the character of sand that was being thrown out of a ditch by excavators. He made an examination of I In gravel and asserted that if the sanil wero found lu Colorado ho would be ready to declare that it contained gold. Later he made a trial of the dirt, and followed his prospecting with the following aunouueemetit: ' "Young men in ludlana will live toMie Indiana the greatest gold placer mining state lu the Union; the great est not lo the Urgent, wealth in dollars in each cubic yard of dirt, but the greatest In profitable productive area and in total amount of gold produced.

The Presideut gives to the public bis views on the question of appoint ing colored men to ofttce iu tliettonlh, through Ibe medium of a reply to a letter addressed to him by a promin ent citizen of Charleston, South Carol ina. This citizen, whose name Is not given, had Joined witb a Dumber of others in pretesting against the appointment of Dr. Cruni, a colored physician of that cily, as Collector of tho Port. lo his protest he made certain specific charges against Dr. Crum, and added : "We have sworn never again to submit to the rule of the African, aud such au appoint, meiit as that of Dr. Cum forces us to protest unanimously against this insult to the white blood." In his reply to this letter the Presideut declares that the specific charges are entitled to tho utmost consideration, that he wHl go over tbem carefully before taking any action, aud that he does not intend to appoint any nnfit man to office. But he distinctly repudiates tire idea suggested by bis correspondent that he is not to apimint colored men to office in the HhuUi. lie points out that he has made such appointments In Miss issippi, in Alabama, In the District of Columbia, in New Orleans, and in Pennsylvania; that the appointment of colored men have In no State been more than a small proportion of the total number of appointments,-and that he sees no reason why he should make an exception in South Carolina to the general principle which governs him, That general principle be states in the following words: I do not inieud lo appoint any un fit man to oHIce. Ho far as I legiti mately can, I shall always endeavor to pay regard to the wishes aud feel ings of the people of each locality, but I cannot consent lo take the position that the door of hoiie the door of apiiortunity Is lo be shut upon any man, no matter how worthy purely upon the grounds of race or color. Huch an attitude would, accord! ug lo my convictions, be , fundamentally wrong. If... as you hold, he great bulk of the colored people aie not yet fit in point of character and Influence to hold such position, it seems to me tliat It is worth while milling a premium up on the effort among tbeiu to achieve the character aud standing wbicn will nt.them. . ' He adds, witb characteristic frank ness, that it Js not for the true inter est of liner the white man or the colored man of the South to assume the attitude that un'der no circum stance shall a mart otcotor, no matter how good a citizen, be permitted lo' hold" office under our Government; thai, on the contrary, "it Is a goal thing from every standpoint to lei the colored man koow Ibat if he shows in marked degree the qualities of good citizenship the qualities which In a white man we feel are entitled to reward then he will not be cut off Irorn all hope of similar reward." The President's attitude on this subject appears lo The Out look absolutely right, and one lo which sooner or later the people of the South will themselves come. It iarol strange that In the reaction against carpetbag government Ibe race prejudice should have been inten sified, and the resolve reached that oo colored man should be elected or appointed loany office. Thecorollary would almost necessarily follow tnat no colored man be allowed to vole, and both positions would Inevitably lead to, as they would be founded upon the undemocratic notion that there are to be at least two hereditary classes In the community, one white, possessing exclusively political pilv ilegetj and powers, the other colored, possessing none. This would be wholly Inconsistent ith the funda mental principles of the Ilepublieau party. It is Impossible for us lo understand how any man conld have thought tht Mr. Roosevelt could take any such position. His whole course and career from boyhood has been an expression of the doctrine that "a man's a man for a'that," which means that no man is to be discriminaneTl against on account of Lis class, his social position, - his religiou opinion., or his race. Poli tically he haa always stood for the principle initiated and acted upon by Napokon In the organization aod administration of his army "a career open lo a talent of every sort..' It is true that the doctrloo la recognized and acted upon in diplomatic appoint ments that one who I persona non grata should not be forced upon howtile community; and this doctrine should be, within limits, retogised and acted unpon In Federal appoint ments. It would be a mistake lo appoint a Roman Catholic postmaster In a community made up of Orange. menk or a postmistress in a village where the public aeutimeut was universal against appoiutment of any wutuan lo office; but It would be a still greater mistake for a President to refuse lo appoint any Catholic to office because some anti-Catholic seutiinent in the community, or any woman to office because of. some masculioe prejudice against women ofuVe-botders. The President, lu the paragaph which we have quoted) first, that the door of opportunity is not lo be shut upon colored men by Lany Federal action; secondly, that, as far as possible, constantly with this principle, the feelings ol the people of each locality are to be taken ac count of in appointment lo office, We aak the people Qti0 South who read this paiagrapWlo give due consideration to those two principles thus enunciatod, and boo whether, in the 'light of democratic principles, not to say Christian principle, the President of the Nation could legi mately take any other ground. The Outlook. If a Maa Me to You And say some other salvo, oint ment, lotion, oil or alleged healer is as good as Bucklins Arnica Salve, tell him thirty years of marvelous cures of piles, burns, IkiIIs, corns, fel ons, ulcers, cuts, scalds, bruises and skin erupt ioiis prove It's the best and cheapest. 25c at Baily's Phar macy. ' FOOT-AXU-MOUTll DISEASE. . The. recent outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in New England has caused an uueasy feeling amoug'etock men in every part of the country. The Department of Agriculture has issued the following short bulletin which gives information that will be Interesting to farmers in the Pacific States as well as at the easl: Foot-and-mouth disease of cattle, sheep, and other ruminants, and swine has recently been brought from some foreign country and hm appeals ed In few localities in Ma"-tuieUa aod some adjacent States, Since this disease has been unknown in America for many yearn, and then but to a limited extent, there are few who have practical knowledge of lis nature. As it is vastly in the interest of all owners of cattle, sheep, and swine that this disease shall bi eradi cated promptly, and as they can render important aid, this circular of information Is commended to their careful attention. This disease is an excessively con tagious malady peculiar to ruminat ing animals . (cattle, eheep, goats, deer) and swine. Rarsly is it trans tuitted to man. It Is character! zed by the eruption of vesicles or blisters in the mouth, upon the heels, or be tween the toes, aod upon the teats or udder. Tbe appetite is depressed, the milk Ajw diminishes, the animal loses condition and becomes lame. Alter a day or two the vesicles breaa, peel off, aud leave a raw" surface that may heal in a few days, or, especially upon tbe feet and teats, that may re main sore for a long time aud lead to serious complications. The death rate is very low, but it attacks the whole herd aDd many animals are seriously damaged, so that the loss to a herd owner Is heavy. European cattle owners have learn ed by long and bitter experience that this disease is tbe source of most dis couraging and not infrequently of ruinous losses. While the disease does not often kill, it damages, tem porarily or permanently, every cow it attacks to tbe extent of from $10 to H0. The total loss on a herd Is usually enough to wipe out a dairyman's profit for a year or two. Tbe effect upon fat animals is quite as serious. It is not uncommon for the stock owners of England, France, or Germany to tie injured by this disease, in a single year, to the ex tent of $5,000,000. With our much larger holdings of live stock iu this country, the possible losses from this disease, if it were to become general, are stupendous and incalculable. At present the disease exists over a com paratively small area- It is confi dently believed by the experts who have Investigated the situation that it ran be controlled and eradicated. It is important that this shall be done. not only that the other parts of the country shall be protected, but also lo prevent the frequent visitation of disease that otherwie would afflic the live stock of New England. To this end, the aid of all stockmen and farmers It requested. There ia no other disease Ibat is so readily and certainly conveyed by contact. It is also conveyed by ex posing healthy animals, even for an instant, lo the stables, yards, pastures, or cars that have bceu occupied by affected animals: by buckets, cloths, brushes, or other objects that have been used by or on diseased entile; by the use of forage exposed In uiau gers or eveu in the I is taut parts of the stable harboring Infected animals, as dogs, cats, rat, birds, or upon the hands, boots, or clothing of men. A road aloug which diseased cattlo have passed, may retain enough virus to infect other cattle that pass over the same place several hours later. Premises occupied by diseased cattle are not safe Air other cattle for a few months after the disease has disappeared. In short, it is to be remembered that every diseased auima! is dangerous and hIso every animal, person, or thing that has been near it or has btx'o near a place occupied by it. Inspectors may avoid tbe danger of carrying the disease by cleanliness and disinfec tion. Tbe symptoms of this disease most obvious to stockmeu are: HluggiHh- ties, shivering, poor appetite, stiffness or lameness, collection of saliva upon tho lips, slavering, t-lobboring or drooling, sucking and swallowing motions of the mouth and throat, smacking of the lips, blii-ters inside the lips, upon the gums, tongue, or roof of the mouth; later, raw sores in the same places. Blisters and sores may also form upon the teats or udder and upon the heels and be tween tbe toes. The flow of milk lessens or ceases and the subject usually loses weight. All these symptoms may not be present in the same animal, aud all are never pre sent In an auimal at one time. More over, the symptoms occur iu varying degrees of severity. They may be very mild or very intense. The later symptoms may be Intense lameness, emaciation, sore . teats aud garget. With sheep and swiuo the feet are chiafly affected. The most important lUhtti-r is lo prevent the infection of animals not yet exposed. This can bo done by avoiding (he purchase, of affected stock; by excludinc. all outside animals from, the hi-rj or flock; by each person who comes near healthy stock avoiding contact with diseased animals or the places or things con taminated by them; by excluding visitors from the cow stable, -sheep and hog pens; and by preventing the access of M range or stray animals, which may carry the virus on their feet or hair, although they are them selves In good health. Neither cows nor bulls should be moved from one place to aiothor for service. Should the. herd or flock become infected, the appearance of the first evidence of disease should lie immed iately reported to the Chief of the Cattle Bureau, a State Cattlo Com missioner, the local inspector of live animals, or lo the Bureau of Animal Industry office, 117 Milk Street, Bos ton, Mass. , The eradication of this disease and the removal of all quarantine and other restrictions upon the cattle trade can be materially hastened by tbe live ntoek owners themselves, If they will promptly report the first evidence of foot-and-mouth disease in their herds or localities. This fact can not be suppressed and tho sooner it Is brought lo the notice of the pro per authorities, the less the resulting damage will be. It is to be hoped that citizens everywhere will realize tbe importance of aiding tbo authori ties who are working lo .eradicate this destructive plague, and they can render do more valuable service to themselves, their localities, - or the nation than to immediately report a newly infected animal or place. The law of Massachusetts imposes a fine of $100 on any person who suspects the existence of this disease and falls to report it in writing to the Chief of the Cattle Bureau, or his authorized representative.

In some parts of the state the bog industry ia assuming respectable pro portions, but modern requirements of packers have not In every Instance bceu met by growers, and some of the stock sent to the market have been rejected. It lacked "finishing so the pigs have to be returned to their pens.- The railroad is then in terested for it Is not just clear sailing to get the stock back. Farmers grumble about paying freight both ways-aud alii: have their porkers on hand.
