gained by covering up wrong doing. As
to this particular business much has al
ready come to light, enough to show that
the darkest recesses should be explored.

How SMALL-PoN WAS SPREAD IN CAS-
CADE, Iowa. The smallpox, which or
iginated in Cascade, Iowa, twenty-six
miles from Dubuque, has spread to Farley
and Worthington, and seems to be getting
worse every day The disease could have
been checked when the first case was dis
covered, had the proper measures been ia
ken; but instead of buryng the body of
the first fatal case quietly, and at night,
the corpse was followed to the grave BY a
large funeral procession, and six pall-bear-
ers. The pall-bearers are now sick. as
we'll as several who attended the funeral.
One of the pall-bcarers was baker and,
after helping to put the body in the coffin
and bury it, he went home to work rs us
ual, with results that might have been ex-
pected He is now on the verge Of the
grave with smallpox, and so are nearly
all OF his customers If he escapes from
the smallpox, he ought not to escape the
law. The physicians say they have vacci-
mated in and around Cascade no less than
800 persons since the disease broke out.
There are forty cases in Cascade alone
The people do not seem to feel or know
the danger they are living in, and 90

Of the members Of his Cabinet withheld
his message relating to that subject until

asserted by some persons that he has
abandoned the intention Of sending in Il
message, while those who are most likely
to know are quite positive that he will
shortly present a communication to
Congress on Louisiana matters, and it is
thought that the document will contain
some recommendations or suggestions for
action by Congress in the premises What
these suggestions or recommendations il
there be any, may be, does not seem to he
