friends. I enter upon no argument on disputed
question, but say as my opinion-we may be
mistaken all of us, but believe it that restored
financial condition depends largely upon an honest
currency and I say this: The commerce of the
world is the commerce in which we are
taking part, and that is the same thing the
globe around.
Where there are very hard times in one great ma
ton, sooner or later it goes clear around. We
should then base our financial system principles
and by instrumentalities that are sanctioned and
approved by the best Judgment Of the whole COM
mercial world. Then, repeat, if we want our
standard financial prosperity to be based upon
and safe foundations, let us remember-let us all
remember-that it's best security is untarnished
national credit and sound, constitutional cur
rency.
The Bannock Indians have not yet
had all the fight whipped out of them. Dis
patches from Camp Stambaugh report an en-
gagement between band of obstinate savages
and few soldiers and Grow scouts, in which
the hostiles were pretty badly whipped, their
chief and large number of horses being cap
tured.
A dispatch from Camp Stambaugh,
Wyoming Territory, reports that five masked
men surprised and captured the herding-camp
of w. P. Noble, eighteen miles from there
The four herders were tied up, and the in
truders held possession of the camp two days,
when they left, going west, taking with them
all the camp outfit, provisions, etc., and thir-
teen good horses It is supposed that they
are part of the gang of robbers who tried to
| wreck the train on the Union Pacific railroad
some time ago.
Reports Of the yellow plague in the
Southern cities up to Sept. show no abate-
ment of the epidemic. At Memphis there were
eighty-six deaths for the previous twenty-four
| hours, about half of them colored people.
| Physicians and nurses were well-nigh worn out,
and the situation was extremely discouraging.
A Vicksburg dispatch thus describes the situa-
ton in that city "This truly has been the
saddest day Vicksburg has experienced for
| fifty years. There is no telling of the
suffering within our midst No pen can pict-
ure the dreadful state of existing affairs here,
and the outside world can form only faint
idea of the misery of the poor of this plague
ridden city. II this devastating disease keeps
up the strides of the past twenty-four hours
there will not be one left to tell the tale in a
short time. There is no way to-day
of getting at the correct list of new
cases. The death-ist-oh, horror Eek
ceeds any during the scourge of the
never-to-be-forgotten 1853. No person seems
to be exempt from attack, not even those who
have had the yellow fever before" At New
Orleans the plague was on the increase so far
as the number of new cases was concerned,
though the mortality was not so great, thirty
six deaths being reported for the twenty-four
hours. The fever has broken out
at Brownsville, Tenn, Holly Springs,
Greenville and Delhi, Miss, and Hickman,
KY, and the inhabitants of those towns were
fleeing as fast as they could get away. AT
Hickman the epidemic ragged several days be-
fore it WAS ascertained that the disease was
really yellow fever. and then wild panic en-
sued. Owing to the terror Of the people, the
suffering in these rural towns will be greater,
proportionately, than in the large cities.
There were eighty-nine deaths from
yellow fever in Memphis on the 9Th inst. A
dispatch from that city of that date says: "We
have settled down into state of despair that
is hard to break by the closest home thrusts
from the plague. We know nothing of what
the outside world is doing, nor do we care.
Doctors, nurses, drugs, sick-rooms, collins,
graves, engross our attention by their ~petrify-
ing monotony of occurrence" At New Or
leans 2O1 new cases and eighty-six deaths
were reported on the 9Th. In Vicksburg the
plague showed no abatement, the number of
deaths being greater than on any preceding
day, namely, 45 number of new cases report
ed, 1888. At Holly Springs Miss, Hickman,
KY, and Brownsville and Union City, Tenn,
the situation was truly distressing. Business
was completely suspended in all these places
everybody having fed that could get away.
There was sore need of supplies and nurses.
An address has been issued by the
Howard Association at New Orleans setting
forth the urgent need of help from the people
of the North, East and West to enable the
& g.
charitable organizations to continue their work
of relief.
For the twenty -four hours ending at
O'Clock Sept. there we're 1O1 deaths from yell
low fever in Memphis, and 400 new cases; in
Vicksburg, for the same period, there were
1856 new cases and 40 deaths; in New
Orleans, 223 cases and 81 deaths.
At Grenada the pestilence had abated
somewhat simply because there were no more
victims, At Hickman Greenville, Canton, and
other towns where the plague had appeared |
the mortality roll continued to increase. The
total deaths from yellow fever in all the
cities up to the 7th of Septem-
Der, were as follows: 80 .34sol
