CRuHRS OF COMFORT.

Mr.. Greeley has the following ''crumbs
Of comfort"
There has been no time, until now, with
in the last twelve years, when the Tribune
was not supposed to keep, for the benefit
of the idle and incapable, a sort of Federal
employment agency, established to get
places under government for those who
were indisposed to work for their living.
ANY man who had ever voted the Republi-
can ticket believed that it was the duty and
the privilege of the editor of this paper to
get him place In the Custom-house.
Every red-nosed politician who had cheated
at the caucas and fought at the polls looked
to the editor of the Tribune to secure his
appointment as gauger, or as army chaplain,
or as minister to France. Every campaign
orator came upon us after the battle was
over for recommendation as Secretary of
the Treasury or the loan of half dollar.
If one of our party had an interest pending
at Washington, the editor of the Tribune
was telegraphed in frantic haste to come to
the capitol, save this bill, crush that one,
promote one project or stop another. he
was to be Everybody's Friend, with moth
ing to do but to take care of other folks
business, sign papers, write letters, and ask
favors for them, and get no thanks for it
either. FOur-ffths eff these people were
sent away without what they wanted, only
to become straightway abusive enemies =
it was the worry Of life to try to crafty one
demand in dozen for the other fifth.
The man with two woodenlegs congratu-
lated himself that he could never be
troubled with cold feet. 1t is a source of
profound satisfaction to US that office-seek-
ers viii keep aloof from a defeated candi-
date who has not influence enough at
Washington or Albany to get sweeper APP
pointed under the Sergeant alarms, or
deputy assistant temporary clerk into
the pastepot section of the folding room.
At last we shall be let alone to mind our
own affairs and manage our own newspaper
without being called aside every hour to
help lazy people whom we don't know and
to spend our strength in efforts that only
benefit people who don't deserve assistance.
At last we shall keep our office clear of
blatherskites and political beggars, and 60
about our daily work with the satisfaction
of knowing that not the most credulous of
place-hunters will suspect US of having any
credit with the appointing powers. That
is one of the results of Tuesdays election
for which we own ourselves profoundly
grateful"

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 9.--On the first of Octo-
Der Virginia L. Miner, Of this city, applied
at one of the registering offices to be regis
tered as voter, and her request was refused
on the ground that the constitution Of Mis-
souri, provides that only male citizens are
entitled to vote. To-day Mrs. Miner, joined
by her husband as the law requires, entered
suit in the Circuit Court against Reese Hop
persett, the Registrar, claiming damages in
the sum of $4,000. Plaintiffs petition
protests against the decision Of the Regis
trsr, and declares the constitution of Mis-
souri, in conflict with the constitution of
The United States, and cites several sections
thereof, especially the fourteenth amend
ment, to substantlate her claim to citizen
ship. Mrs. Miner is the wife of Francis
Miner, highly respectable lawyer of this
city, and at present Clerk of the Supreme
Court of the State. he has been an active
worker in the woman movement, and
brings this suit to test the claims of woman
to the elective franchise, and win carry it, If
necessary, to the United States Supreme

John M. Krum and Francis Miner, and the
result will be looked for with great inter-

GES. MEADE.



The country loses in the death of Gen.
Meade an excellent citizen and a brave and
capable soldier. He was the first of the
commanders of the Army of the Potomac
who did not reach that position through
personal intrigue or personal or political
favoritism. He won his way fairly by
force of merit, and his skillful disposition of
his forces and resolute, intelligent valor
won the memorable field of Gettysburg.
1t will, perhaps, be remembered that he
was in immediate command of the Army
of the Potomac in the campaign of the
Wilderness, receiving general directions
from Grant, who was Lieutenant General
and Commander in-chief. The story that
be wanted to retreat after the first day in
the Wilderness, and was prevented by the
stubborn will of his superior officer is un-
true--a mere bit of the high coloring with
which the history of those who obtain the
appointing power is written. In person
General Meade was tall, and in manner dig
nified. His appearance was grave, almost
austere. That he was a soldier the plainest
Civilians dress could not conceal and that
he was man of distinction was obvious

Cincinnati Liberals Take q Fresh
THE HORSE PLAGUE.
100 Cases Appear in Cincinnati

CINCINNATI, Nov. 9.-About fifty cases
of epizootic have appeared at this city. So
far most of them are in private stables.
With the exception of one or two cases on
the Pendleton route, street car horses have
not been attacked. The United States
Express people are using mules, they hav-
ing received orders not to work their
horses. The weather is clear and pleasant
to day..
LATER.-Health officer Clendenin says
there are about one hundred cases of horse
disease in q mild, incipient form in the
city. In three livery stables near the center
of the city it broke out to-day. Cases have
appeared in the Pendleton street car stables.
Two cases are in the United States Ex-
cases. Stable men are disposed to doubt
the disease being in the epizOotic form.
NEW HAVEN, Nov. 9.-The horse dis
ease has reached its height, no cars are
running. There is hardly horse on the
streets.
PITTsBURG, PA.,Nov. 9.-The horse dis
ease is materially affecting business.
CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-There is no abate-
ment of the horse disease. A few stages
are running on the Wabash avenue and on
Madison street, but the horses are evil
IDENTITY suffering from the disease and their
use is an outrage. The number of OK
teams is substantially increasing. Scores
of them are now seen hauling merchandise
for Express and Railroad companies and
for wholesale houses, and the relief thus
afforded TO business is very great. The
weather continues fine. Tweuty-four
deaths from epizootic were reported yes
terday.
MILWAUKEE, Nov. 9.-The horse epide.
mic in this section is spreading rapidly. 1t
is now estimated there are from two hun
dred to two hundred and fifty cases in city
and vicinity. The disease existing is very
mild and veterinary surgeons say all cases
that have yet appeared have quickly yield
ed to proper care. A few cases are report
ed at Greenfield, Oshkosh and other places
in central and western Wisconsin.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 9.-The horse dis
