There are no cases Of the horse disease in this
city, unless those reported yesterday in the
Western avenue stables are Of the same type as
the Canadian disease, which they closely resem-
bic. 4 despatch from Jacob Dunn, OF the York
vile stables, is published in another column.
Mr. Dunn, Who is widely known az an authority
on horses and horse treatment, gives careful
diagnosis Of the disease, with statement OF
the most approved method Of treatment. He
says that although the disease is rapidly spread
ing, it is not dangerous, and that the panic
among horse-men is subsiding. The disease
has appeared in Portland, andis raging through
out the New England States. In Brooklyn the
horse-cars cease running to-day; almost all tie
express companies, horse-cars, and onnibuses
are at stop in New York. Broadway displays
only one-fourth its usual traffic, and an Interrupt
ton Of the transportation OF the mails is feared.
The crisis is believed to have passed in Buffalo
few horses hare died, and there has been no ces-
eation Of its canal business.

The Chicago produce markets were less active
yesterday, and most Of them were lower. Mess
pork was steady and quiet ut S14.50 cash,
912.8711 seller December, and s12.87}z@13.00
seller March. Lard was more active, but weak,
at 719@724c for winter, and 75Sc for summer
rendered; seller December quoted at 7M
@716c. Meats were quiet and steady ut
.6@61sc for shoulders, and 10@10Kc for
short ribs. Highwines we're more active, and
advanced: ]5c, closing at 8s13@s9c per gallon.
Lake freights were dull and unchanged, at 15c for
corn by sail to Buffalo. Flour YVES dull Wheat
was less active, and declined 114c, closing ut
31.071 for seller the month, and 81 06 seller No.
Tember. Corn Was less active, and sc lower,
closing at Soc caah, and 3o56c seller November.
Oats we're dull, and 1ac lower, closing at Zoe
for seller tho month, and 21c seller November.
Rye was in good demand, and 15c higher at
5o39@51c. Barley was active and steady, ut Csc
for No. 2, and 47@4714c for No. 8. There was
more doing in the hog market to-day, but prices
we're again weak and lower, the decline averag-
ing fully 10c per 100 lbs. Sales wero chiefly at

about yesterdays prices. Sheep we're dull and

We notice that our recent startling expose Of
the wrongs inflicted On newly-arrved immi-
grants in this city is attracting much attention,
and being copied far and wide by exchanges in
the Eastern cities. The evil has gone .unmo-
Tested too long, and its proportions are not ex-
aggerated. The publication will do good, and
not harm, if it calls forth the remedy necessary.
But, If nothing is done to bring about the better
system, the advertisement Of the wrongs inaict-
ed On these newcomers in our city will only
carry forward the effects already manifested, Of
inducing them to give Chicago q wide
berth, as twenty Thousand OF them did
last year. The German Society is an
excellent organization, and can be aided into full
and complete effectiveness. They can protect
their countrymen, strangers to our soil, as no
others can, but they must have help to do it.
Let them bring forward plan, and then every
citizen and every railroad company is interested
in seeing it fully realized. Chicago is the great
natural resting place and point Of departure for
all newcomers seeking homes in our great inte-
rior. few aoulless harpies must not be al-
lowed to defeat this possibility.

Nearly two thousand Germans met last night
passed resolutions denouncing the Sunday clos
ing law, and calling on the Mayor to abandon the
efforts to close the saloons until after the cleo
ton OF new Council. German newspapers
were requested to ignore all nominees
at the coming election who favored the
enforcement OF the Law, and ealoon-
keepers were exhorted to remain open next
Sunday, course which the Mannerchor has de-
clared it will adopt. On the other side Of the
question, meetings we're held in Unity Church
and Plymouth Church, at one Of which the Re-
publican ticket Was denounced and the nomina-
tion OF an independent Temperance ticket de-
uaudad.

There are some indications Of an easier feel
ing in the Chicago money market Country
banks are not asking for IS much accommoda-
tion, and their deposits in the city are, in aomo
instances, increasing. But there is still more good
commercial paper offered in the street, at ~ and
2per cent per month, than brokers can find a
ready market for. Local bank, horse-railway,
and other stocks are also freely offered for sale
yet; and the average decline in the value of
such securities, in consequence of forced sales.
has been not far from per cont in the last two
weeks.

The Springfield Republican has got wind Of a
highly moral enterprise to reform the Repub1i-
can party, to put an end to such scandals as the
Leet g. Stocking fraud, the secor outrage, tho
Chorpenning nuisance, the carpet-bag villanies,
personal government, caucus despotism, San
Doningoism, ETC., etc. This movement, if the
Republican is correctly informed, is to be ini-
tiated inside the party by certain persons who
have worn the yoke of Grantism through
the present campaign reluctantly, but
have worn it nevertheless. We sup
pose there is some foundation for
this rumor. The names of the would-be re-
formers are not diyulged. They will of course,
be withheld till after the election, for there is
nothing go dangerous to a partisan just now as
to have it understood that he thinks there is
possibly some room for Improvement Tho
fashionable thing to say is, that the country is
prosperous Gas Morton assures us it is), and Flat
it is all due to the wisdom Of
Grant, who, in his aeclusion Of Long Branch,
prohting by the able counaels Of 3 Murphy
or Corbin devises those wonderful schemes
which make money plenty and cause corn to

The effect OF the combination among the oil
producers to restrict the production Of oil is
shown by the statement of the Titusville Herald,
that the oil production for September shows
decrease, compared with the north Of August,
Of 2,258 barrels daily. The Courier, however,
Says the decrease is only $40. The daily produc~
ton in August was 1886 barrels. The total
amount Of stock was 877,739 barrels, 8 decrease
in stock during the month Of 52,721 barrels.
The total shipments during September were
$50, 375 barrels, a decrease Of 1888 barrels.

The movement recently initiated for the sup
preston OF crime, by closing the places where
intoxicating liquors are sold on Sunday, has ap-
parently been perverted from its original and
rightful purpose. It VAS begun on the SUPPOSE
ton that more liquor WAS consumed and more
crime produced On Sunday than on weekdays,
because drinkers had more leisure on that day
than On any other. A spirit Of opposition was
manifested to it On the part of the German
population when it came to be applied
to lager-beer, they looking upon it
as an invasion of their personal rights,
and IN attempt to enforce religious opinions. or
at least, religious practices, upon them,-their
peculiar beverage being Of narcotic and not of
an Intoxicating tendency. This spirit Of oppo-
sition, or rather the boisterous manner in
Which it has been manifested by prominent
demagogue, has excited on the other hand dis
position to enforce the law against beer at all
hazrads, whether it be an intoxicating drink or
not. And so the case now stands. The contro-
yersy has taken the form Of public broil on the
the question Of observing the first day Of the
week III PARTICULAR manner, ratu-
or than on any matter relating
to crime or into4ication. On this question,
which onco produced riot and bloodshed in our
streets, and which has slumbered during the
past seventeen or eighteen years, the opinions
OF different classes and nationaltes are so posi-
tive that the utmost caution will be required to
avoid repetition OF the unhappy disturbances
Of the spring Of 1855. We do not apprehend
renewal Of those disturbances now, for we be-
ieve that the public authorities are able to keep
the original purposes of the law and order
movement in view, and to conGne their atten-
tions to Intoxicating drinks and to the places
which produce crime and disorder. A curious
political muddle has grown out Of the contro-
yersy, and, according to present appearances,
more votes will be controlled one way or the
other by prejudices engendered by the Sunday
movement than BY considerations Of National
politics. At all events, the politicians and can
didates are immensely bothered by it.

There is universal sentiment in Chicago, en-
tirely regardless Of political attachments that
the vileEt incident of the campaign has been
found in the personal attacks Of the Chicago
Times upon Democrats of recognized standing,
ability, and honesty. In several successive issues
OF that Journal the greater part of its editorial
driyel has been employed in calling such gentle
men as Cyrus E. Mccormick, Murray F. Tuley,
st. Clair Sutherland, Carter II. Harrison, and
General I. n Stiles, "bummers,' - I" scallawags,''
and "dead-beats." If it has been the purpose
Of this newspaper to compete with Brick Pouo-
roy in the manufacture Of epithets, the result
shows miserable failure. II, however, the OBJ
ject has been to confirm its own reputation, nl-
ready pretty we'll established, for Hauton disre-
gard and intense hatred for every man who has
the temerity to be respectable in q community
where it lives, the success seems to have
surpassed all former efforts. The credibility
and the influence of the Times can be we'll de-
termined, if the render will only stop to con-
slider that every one Of these persons thus
characterized as q ''dead-beat,'' stbummer," :"
and a ''scal1awag" is well known to all people as
respectable and useful citizen.
N[r. Cyrus H. Mccormick has q national
reputation for his work in promoting the inter-
ests Of agriculture by means Of the roapers
which he has manufactured in such large num-
bers for many years past. The wealth which he
has acquired, while contributing to tho interests
OF tie whole country, has been devoted by him to
the improvement and benefit OF Chicago, and to
and elsewhere. When the great fire came, there
was no one lost more heavily than he, nor has
there been any one more prompt to cooperate
in the work of the re-eatab1ishment
manent employment to hundreds Of laborers
and mechanics in his factories and in the work
Of rebuilding, and is, in every respect, good
and useful citizen. He is not an ofice-holder,
nor the candidate for any Office; nor are We
aware that he has any political aspirations. In
every political connection which lie has had, he
has done ten times more for others than others
could possibly do for him. Yet this is the man
whom the Times newspaper Of yesterday morn
ing speaks Of as ''Boss" Mccormick, in connec-
ton with "scallawags," sfdead-beats,' md
"buInmerg."
These epithets are not less reckless and dis
graceful Rs applied to the other gentlemen men
toned. Mr.. Carter a. Harrison may, without
prejudice to other good men, be said
to be, upon his own merits, the
is man of large means, honestly acquired, who
has used his wealth in 4 manner to command the
respect and confidence OF the poor people Of his
neishborhood 1t is said that, in selling num-
Der Of lots at 3 time when it Bas almost impos-

Like the Frenchman who mourned the loss Of
the Column Vendome because it took away a
convenient place for committing suicide, so Mrs.
Laura Fair laments the invention Of tho stom-
ach-pump which was brought into requisition to
foil the admirable purpose Of her mother in putt
ting an end to her existence, after this existence
had been made wretched by the loss Of her law
suit against her daughter. There is nothing
more charming in nature than flial affection,
and more highly-wrought instance Of it than
the Laura Fair family gave few days ago
seldom OCCURS. The act must be taken as q
whole to be properly appreciated. First, Mrs.
Fair could not, with the instincts Of true
daughter, burden her mother with the trust Of
$4,000 on her account. So she proceeded into
court and wrenched it from the faithful old lady,
who was willing to make maternal sacrifice and
keep it. Then, when the mother sought the OBJ
Gvion generally to be found in dose Of lauda-
mum and chloroform, and when a ruthless and
unfeeling doctor ruahed in with his
etomach-pump to undo what had been so fairly
done, none was earlier or more eager to commits
serate the bereaved old lady upon restoration to
life than was her dutiful and affectionate daugh-
ter, Mrs. Laura Fair. "Why didn't you take
enough Of the stuff to finish you, and make one
job Of it 2" Was the familiar colloquial way in
which Mrs. Fair opened the conversation. It
was one OF those scenes OF family endearment
which the rude, cold world will scarcely know
how to appreciate.

sble to secure abstracts Of ttle he was not asked
for any other evidence Of good title than his
word. It may be added that the Times heartily
supported Mr. Harrison for the Office of County
Commissioner, which he now holds, insisting
that he should accept it as duty to his fellow
citizens. The same is true Of that journals
treatment Of Messrs Stiles and Tuley, when they
we're candidates for the positions which they are
now flling,-gentlemen who are now called
names merely from personal spite and diEcom-
hture. Mr. st. Clair Sutherland presided over
the Democratic Central Committee OF this
county for several years, and did
much to combat and restrain the low
instincts which obtrude themselves upon oil
conventions and caucuses in greater or less de-
gree. he has given his time, without hope OF
reward to efforts to purify and elevate politics,
while the newspaper which abuses him has de-
voted itself to the purpose of bringing all can
didates to its own level. AIr. Sutherland is a
candidate for office for the first time during his
residence in Chicago, in opposition to his own
wishes, and only in accordance With the emphatic
that he should take the place.
It is significant that the Times list of "bum-
mers," scal1awagH," and "dead-beats" does
not include the name Of g single person who
is not at once a gentleman and a
good citizen. The fact serves to show the pre-
else value Of IN estimate of decency coming
from that source. It also illustrates the ex-
tremity to which the newspaper has come in it's
failure to command the adherence of anybody,
belonging to any party, during the present po-
itical campaign. The situation would not be
more aptly defined than it was in the comparison
which AIr. Mccormick made in his speech Of
last Tuesday evening, Hkening the Times to the
single juryman who so violently denounced the
other eleven men for their stupidity in differing
from him.

Republican is correctly informed, there is to be
as to facts, and US to the moral complexion there
Of. Those who went to the Cincinnati Conven-
ton are to hare powerful assistance from quar-
tcrs not generally suspected, and something is
going to be done. This movement, or suspicion
of q movement, furnishes an additional reason,

ADJUSTMENTS.

which WAS announced for last evening Was &
concert which did not come off, It was to have
been given at Central Hall, on Twenty-secoud
street, but at the hour announced, although two
or three people gathered at the door, the door
VAS locked, the boz-of1ce closed, and the hall
dark. The agent put in an appearance about
week ago, got out his posters, did his advertis-
ing, and then left the city. It is to be presum-
ed that the meagre sale at the bo1-ofhce, which
amounted to d half price ticket for the matinee,
did not seem sufficiently alluring for Madame
Varian, Signor Bartolini, the Polish pianist, and
the Hungarian violinist to waste
thei1 sweetness On the desert air.
As they did not appear last
evening. the grand concerts announced for
Saturday afternoon and evening may also be
considered of. The audience of three which
ASSEMBLED On the sidewalk, last evening, went
away in rather nournful spirits. The audience
Of one which was to have been present to-mor-
row afternoon can undoubtedly get its money
back BY applying to the parties Of whom it pur-
chased. We have made this statement princi-
pally Tor the benefit Of anxious creditors.

few vouchers that escaped the Court House

for the purpose Of identifying his signatures.

America, or defending himself against charge
Of theft is always an effective orator. disclosed in
