Li grippe seems to be beginning to lose
its grip. It cau’t relinquish its hold too

This is the day for the Ohio legislature to
elect a United .States senator. Republican
organs which state that enough democr its
will refuse to vote for Mr. Brice to secure
his defeat will have a chance to see just
how much reliance is to be placed upon the
statement.
Mrs. H. W. Chapin, who died in Chicago
~a few days ago, was the daughter of a
prominent New York judge, and t le widow
of a former associate of A. T. Stewart.
She was for years a prominent figure in
Hew York society, but she fills a drunkard’s
grave. She sunk to the lowest depths of
degradation.
Speaking of the alleged Whittaker letter,
to which Senator Edmunds referred the
other d iy at an offset tq the Dudley letter,
the Pniladelphia Press says: “The m in who
wrote that letter never made au attempt to
deny it” Probably not. Either there is
no such letter, or the republican who forged
it hasn’t been caught.
Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt has just paid
the Earl of Dudley $103,009 for Turner’s
famous picture, “On the Grand Canal,
Venice.” Only men who can piy their
cooks $lO,OOO a year are able to indulge in
these costly luxuries; but Mr. Vanderbilt
doesn’t miss the $103,003 half as much as
many a poor man would mi<s $l.
It is announced that a syndicate com
posed of ex-Senator Platt, Gen. Alger, and
others will buy the Chic igo Times, and
make it an Alger organ. It is also rumored
that Assistant Postmaster General Clark
#on will be the editor of the organ. There
seems to be no doubt that Gen. Alger will
make a big effort to capture the presidency
in 1893,
The product of southern manufactories
in 1880 was of the value of $315,003,000.
Nine years later it wa- nearly and juble that
amount Commenting upon this, the New

seven league bo its on, has struck acracki g
gait. Twenty-five years from now it will—
but just wait and sea.” Yes, it will; there’s
no doubt ab ut it
Mr. Red’s “whims,” as the New York
Sfar calls his proposed rules, don't recog
nize the rights of a strong minority. When
Mr. Reed’s party was in a minority less
strong tuan the present one of the House
and he was the leader of it, he doubtless
would have denounced, in round t -rms, an
attempt to change the rules as he now
wants them ciauged. This g>esto show
that he is a very c ;eap stStesman.
In a suit recently brought against the
Republican Nati m&l League for some cam
paign expanses, it was developed that C oL
Dudley was the chosen and recognized rep
resentative of Benjamin Har ison on league
committees and on the republican nati mal
committee. There came a time, however,
when the colonel and Gen. Harrison did not
speak as they passed each other. It was
after the colonel bad written the “blocks of
five” letter, and, mind you, after Harrison
been elected.
The Florida Brand L
It seems to be quite c ear from statements
made in the election fraud cases before the
United Statesilis riet court f r the N rth
| irn distr.ct of Florida, that the grand jury
•n that district was mad up almost entirely
from republicans with 1 1 view rf ff iding
indictmen s against democrats f >r alleged
j elec.ion fraud.-, and that r-publicans tee
! ael CU-1 for pet.l jurors for the purposs of
! convicti g th e - indi.-tad. While the at
torneys for the accused parties hare not
| been able t > prove that the jurv commis
-1 siouers were parties to this sch-me, the
j I üblishod letter of the United States niar
thai to on? of his deputies, ordering him tt>
sele t republicans for jurors l i the United
St.tes c <urt, and the fact that about all the
grand and petit Jurors are republicans
justi ies the conclusion that it was the pur
po e of tne officials to have the juries made
up of republicans.
It is weli kn own that in the Northern dis
trict of Florida there arc no more repub
licans than dem *raw who are competent
to act as jurors, aud there are goo 1 reasons
for saying that thereare not so many. How
is it, then, if thire was an intention on the
part of the officials to comply strictly with
the law, whicli'requires that juries shad i<
non-partiaau ia their c aracter, that nearly
all the jur rs are republicans! This is one
of the questions that the public would like
to have ansmere 1, and. if it cannot be
answered in the United States court for the
Northern district of Florida, the democratic
members of congress should call for an in
vestigation el the Fl irida scandal.
Those accukr lof having committed elec
tion frauds in Florida are doubtless ready
to stand their trial, but they doa’t want 'to
he tried by jurors who are already
prejudiced *o strongly that they are
unable to render a just verdict. Con
gress will fail in its duty if it neglects t >
make a thorough inquiry into the United
Bta es jury drawing in Jacksonville. What
the people want is the truth. They won't
object to the punishment of any one,
svhether he is a democrat or a republican,
who has been shown to be guilty of trying
to defeat the will of tho people by ballot
box frauds. Let us have the whole truth
relative to the election frauds scandal,
and lot the blame for the scandal rest where
it belongs.
New York’s Death Rate.
It is pro! a Me that there are no physicians
in New Yoik now who thiuk that the inllu
enza is not in that city in an epidemic form.
The board of health denied its presence
there for many days after the newspapers
we e reporting cases of it, and there were
members of the board afflicted with it be
fore its presence was officially announced.
For the week ending Jan. 4, the. e were
1,303 deaths in Ne.v York, and last w.ek
the number was 1,434. Assuming that the
population is 1,590,415, the death rate week
before last was 39.31, aud la it weak it was
40.54, per thousand. The average of the
Kscond week in January for the five pre
ceding years was only 36,374. It is ap
parent, therefore, that the influenza, while
not a dangerous disease, cau-es a great
many deaths. The board of health certifi
cates show that last week it caused seven
dea hs, and that it was au important factor
in eig.i tv-six others.
S maaffody has been looking into the pub
lished works of the celebrated Dr. Benja
rniu Rush, who was one of the signers of
the declaration of independence, and who
was a residont of I’hlladelDhia, to find out
what ho had to say about the influenza. He
wro o an interesting accou itof the presence
of the disease in this c luntrv, in an epidemic
form, just a hundred years ago. The
symptoms, as he describes', them, were
the same us those noticed in the
present epidemic. Those who worked
in the open air suffered more than th se
whose occupations kept them within doors,
and those who lived near the seashore wore
handled much more severely than those who
lived in the interior. Most of the deaths
resul ed from pneumonia. The epidemic
lasted six weeks in Now York aul Philadel
phia, anti gradually spread throughout the
whole oountry.
An interesting fact mentioned by Dr.
Rush is that the early winter of 1789-’99
was extremely mild—so mild as to excite
very general comment. Cold weather,
however, came in February and March. In
the latter month and in April the weather
was variable and rainy; in April, particu
larly, the showers were so heavy as to be
long remem' ered. The influe za appeared
again in 1790-’9l, but it was not so general.
If the weather this year is to be anytuing
like it was 103 years ago within the range
of Dr. Rush’s observation, we may expect
a cold February a id a wet spring.
The late Judge Kelley, it is state:!, was,
like Gen. Grant, a victim to tobacco. For
many years he was au inveterate smoker,
and he also chewed. At night he would
sleep with a quid of tobacco in his mouth.
Some years ago a cancer developed upon
that part of his cheek again -t which the
tobacco rested at night. He had it cut
away, and, acting upon the adyico of
his physician, ha gave up smoking and
chewing. He had a very strong will, and
he kept his resolution, but he s lid that
sometimes the desire for tobacco was almost
maddening, aud that he frequently had to
leave places where there was tobacco smoko.
His system had become saturated with nico
tine, ho sever, and he never recovered from
the effects of it.

The attempt of Sinator Quay to secure
the selection of Chicago as the site for the
world's fair is in keeping with the public
record Of that alleged statesman. Of course
seuator Quay has a right to a preference in
the mitter— nobody disputes that; the
objectionable feature of his advocacy of
Chicago is that he is controlled by political
reaslT#. He doesn't care a straw whether
Chicago is the best place for a great fair or
not: iafact, he probably knowsthat it isn’t,
but its selection might give him increased
political power, and, therefore, he leaves
tho real merits of the contesting cities out
of the question. He is a typical republican
politician.
It is hardly necessary to say that the fol
lowing is from that malignant newspaper,
Col. Shepard’s Mail and Express: “Evi
dently some of the members of the South
ern Society of this city have forgotten that
they were residing in a state whore tho law,
and not the pi tol, rules supreme.” Mtij,
Clark is not by any means the only gentle
man who has used a revolver in a fight in
New York in the lust year, but he is a mem
ber of the Southern Society, and, therefore,
malignant newspapers, lika the Mail and
Express, hasten to call particular attention
to his action.
Mr. Charles Brock, ot Boston, has a pair

THE MORNING NEWS; TUESDAY, JANUARY 14. 1896.
A Broad Journal?
Tho Augusta Chrnir'e refers to the Sews
i aiuJ Courier, ot Charleston, and the Morn
ing News, of Savanoah, as narrow j mr
nals, and savs that they will probably sus
tain Col. Elliott and Col. John Seraven in
wiiat tho-e gentlemen said before the ways
and means committee m favor of retaini tg
the pre-c it duty on rice. The Chronicle is
righ:, so far a- the Morning News is con
cerned, ia saving that it wiil sustain Messrs.
Screven and Elliott. The .\ews and Courier
is able to sp ak for itsalf.
Neit ler the Morning News nor the
Deni icratic p irty has ever asked such a re
duction of the duty on any article a- to
prevent the production of it in this country.
Col. Screven, in his argument before the
ways and means committee, showed that
any considerable reduction of the duty
on rice would cause the rice
plantations to be abandoned. If,
iio a over, there were such ••eductions
of the duties on other articles as wo lid
on able rice planters to make their crops at
a lee cost, a reasonable reduction of the
duty on rice would not injure the rice in
dustry. The Morning News has always
protested agai ist reducing the duties on
rice and sugar while the du ies on
the products of the mauufacturi g
monopolies ware kept at the pro
hibitory poiut. The high protectionists,
for whom the Chronicle, appears to have
such profound aimirati an, are the ones who
generally insist upon reducing the duties on
sugar and rice, but they are extremely
careful tbat the interests of their friends,
the manufacturing monopolists, shall not
suffer in the least. The duties on rice and
sugar add tens of millious of dollars to the
customs receipts annually. How much
does the duty on steel rails add! Is it not a
notorious fact tbat duiy on steel rails is
prohibitory ? Is it not also a fact that it is
much greater than is necessary
to afford the manufacturers of
steel rails a reiso lable profit!
Dj not the steel manufacturers, when the
demand for rails becomes active, put up the
price of them to tne full extent to which
they are protected, aud thus make enor
mous profits; Steel rails are mentioned
becau-e they furnish one of the
most conspicuous examples of the
way peiple are robb -1 by the
prohibitory tariff, which tho Chronicle
commends so heartily, and it intimates tha t
it is a broad-minded journal for doing so.
The Chronicle doesn’t seem to understand
the position ot the Democratic party on the
tariff. It ought to reai some of Mr. Car
lisle's speeches on tariff reform, and perhaps
it would not then think its tariff views so
broad.
Race Prejudice in Illinois.
A “race war” in an Illinois town seems
imminent. For several years some of the
colored people of Alton, in tbat state, have
wanted to seud their children to the school
for the white children, and although they
have made several attempts to have them
admitted, they have not succeeded. Tha
whites evidently are controlled to a con
siderable extent by that race prejudice
which, some of the northern newspapers,
tells us, is confi ind to the south. The
bitter feeling growi ig out of this
state of affairs has reached the danger
point. The other day about ten colored
children, accompanied by their parents,
went to the white school, where admission
for them was demanded and refused. The
same thing happened the next morning, but
upon the last named occasion several dozen
white meu were on hand to resist the de
mand, and the town marshal fou id revolv
ers upon the persons of both whites and
blacks. No doubt blood would have been
shed if the colored people had not with
drawn.
The school building for the colored chil
dren of Alton is admirably suited for its
purpose, aud the teachers are said to be
competent. Why, then, should colored
people desire their children to enter tho
white school?
Sensible colored people all over the coun
try prefer thoir children to attend the
colored schools. They don’t want anything
like social equality. It is only those who
are willing to bring on raco troubles who
demand that white and colored children
shall bo taught side by side.
The Wrong Kind of Relief.
Our dispatches stated a few days ago that
Senator Culiom, of Illinois, had introduce!,
by request, a bill authorizing the Secretary
of the Treasury to lend to the farmers of
the country, at a low rate of interest, the
money in the treasury over and above the
current expenditures of the government,
the government to be secured by farm
mortgages. It has developed that the re
quest came from a farmers’ club of Coles
county, Illinois.
The bill will strike most people as being a
curious one. If the government should
lend money to farmers on farm mortgage*,
it is reasonable to assume that in the course
of time many of these mortgages would
have to be foreclosed, and i. is highly prob
able that Uncle Sam would find himself
the owner of farms all over the country.
What would ho do with them? Would he
let them go to waste, or would the secretary
of the agricultural department have to turn
his attention from the work of exterminat
ing the English sparrow and the potato
bug uni go regularly into the farming
business?
This bill puts one iu mind of Mr. Blaine’s
proposition for the disposition of the sur
plus. It will be remembered that, soon
after Mr. Cleveland’s tariff reform mes
sage, Mr. Blaine proposed that any surplus
that might remain or accrue in tho treasury
after the repeal of the tobacco tax, the re
duction of duties on a few unimportant im
ports, and the appropriation of a liberal
sum for coast defenses, should be distributed
among tbe different states, so that taxes on
houses and fa ms might be reduced.
Mr. Blaine’s plan was a very roundabout
one for getting rid of the surplus, and the
same is true of that of the Coles county farm
ers. Why should tbe people send money to
the treasury to be returned to them minus
the expenses for collecting it, or why sh ul!
their own money be loaned to them at a
low rate of interest? Why shouldn’t they
keep that money at home? The farmers
need relief, but this .is n >t the kind they
need. They should be relieved of the un
necessary taxation by which a surplus is
accumulated.
Senator lugalls, as has been previously
state!, has found out that Mr. Cleveland
appointed a colored man to au office which
pays about SIB,OOO a year in fees. Tha'
office is the re -orilership of deeds for the
District of Columbia. Mr. Ingalls will
probably see to it that President Harrison
app iiuts a w hite successor to Trotter. Re
publicans don't believe in giving the col
ored people big plums in the way of offices.
They give them the "leavings.”

now brigadier general in command of
the Division of the Pacific, who was as
anxious, of course, as Col. Mackenzie to
secure th - star of a brigadier general. In
Col. Mackenzie's regiment there was then a
grizzle 1 veieran.’Capt. Napoleon B. McLaughlen
One might starlight night they were together
iii camp on a scout on the plains in Texas. Col.
Mackenzie was walking up and down near his
t i>t in his nervous manner, snapping his fin ders
when suddenly he stopped and gazed intently
up into tho heavens. Capt. McLaughlen, step
ping out of his tent, observed the colonel in
this attitude, and remarked;
“ ‘Wuat are you 100 .in r for Colonel*'
“•Oh,’ replied tne colonel, carelessly, ‘lam
only looking for a star.’
“’Colon I.’replied Capt. McLaughlen, ‘I fear
there’s Miles between you and that star.’ ”
And so it turned out, too, as everybody knows.
