A THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND Dol
LAR BECCAR.

In reply to the Globes comment
upon Was burns swindling failure
and his royal trip to Europe immedi.
ately thereafter, his organs and as.
signees assured the public that after
settling with his creditors Cheating
them in the plain English he had
three hundred thousand dollars re.
naming. This was four or five Years
ago, and with the money which he
has stolen from the farmers since
that time he ought to have at least
half million of money with which to
buy his way into congress.
Under such circumstances. and in
view of the fact that Washburn. be-
ing without brains, relies on money
camvalgn entirely, it is decidedly re-
freshlng to have the following docu.
ment sent out in envelopes bearing
the printed card of w. d. Washbnrn:
MINNEAPoLIs, Sept. 10.
SIR: The congressional committee,
charged with laboring for the success
OF the Republican cause in this dis
trict, call with confidence (so) upon
you, as a Republican, for such con-
tribution in money as you NAV feel
willing to make. hoping that it will
not be less than $25.
The committee deem it prOner in
thus speaking to Republicans. to re.
mind them OF the Importance of the
impending campaign. That the Uni.
TED States senate is to be Democratic
after the 4th of March, 1879, is very
nearly certain. In view of this. the
election of a Democratic house of rem.
resentatlves would precipitate upon
the country dangerous agitatiops.
which would inevitably add to the
present dlstreSses and burdens.
Among these schemes is the intention
to attempt the revolutionary expnl.
sion OF the president from his Office.

The Power of the Nationals.

Washington Dispatch: Politi-
clans who pass through and those
who live here, are watching every
movement of the nationals with the
liveliest interest. Mr.. Adams, clerk
of the house, who is still here, and
who has a more extensive cores
pondence with members throughout
the country than any other man IN
the city, says that he is astonlshed
at the remarkable growth and
strength of the nationals throughout
the country. He does not think
that, while they compose one of the
most important elements in next
falls campaign, there is much doubt
that the next will be controlled by
a moderately increased Democratic
majority. Preceding the forty
fifth congress Mr.. Adams made a
very moderate estimate of what
would be the Democratic majority,
and it was afterwards found that he
had underestimate 1t. Now, after
a careful survey of the field, he
thinks that there will be an in
creased majority. He, in common
with all other democratic politicians
at this point, estimates fully the
Importance of this falls canvass.
He says that in his opinion the
coming Presidential campaign will
be settled this fall; whoever cap
lures the house will take the Presi-
dency. With this view the democ-
racy are straining every nerve.

IN Hoe Signo vincesI

The Democratic Banner floats
more proudly to-day than ever.
The platform adopted at Nashville
and the nomination of the eminent
man who drafted it will overwhelm
its open enemies with a disastrous
repulse and will be battling check
mate to those in disguise. Victory
at every point of the line of battle
is certainly assured as far as Ten
nessee is concerned-theP President,
the Senate, the House, every Office
in our State-and if the whole
country will do it's duty as we are
going to do, the radicals will be
stranded in ruin, the Nationals
overtaken with abortion. and the
grand old party of the people, the
Democracy, crowned with the lau
rels of civic triumph. We now
call upon the Nationals to disband.
The democracy is already organ
lied, has the Senate and the House,
and will get the Presidency If not
crippled by the Nationals. Our
State platform promises everything
that the Nationals desire, and Ger
tainly it is easier to attain these
things through a strong party
than it is through a party that
has yet to be made. The only re-
suit that can follow a greenback or
ganIzation in Tennessee will be the
election of republicans The only
fruit it has yet borne was in Mem
phis at the late election. E0ery Of
flee lcas filled By Republican, because
the greenbackers crippled the dem
ocrats. Now, under the platform,
there is no ground upon which
greenbackers stand that is not dem
ocratic ground. Let US, then, to
avoid dissensions and defeat, unite
under the banner that is even now
lit up with the approaching dawn 0f
victory, and carry dismay and rOut
into the ranks of the party of pro
scription and hate. This is certain
ly the only way to success, and we
call upon the people in all earnest
ness to avoid the snare set by the
republicans, stand fast by the or
ganization, and e'er long the demo
cratic lance, welded by the people
in their strength, will pierce and di-
vide the clouds of oppression that
is paralyzing us, and the sun of
prosperity will once more shine
upon a happy people. Stand to
your democratic guns, men! Upon
its banner is emblazened a sure re
lief for every i'll that afilicts US. 1t
is our only hope. Divided, we

How Yellow Fever is Spread.

DR.. Woodward, Surgeon General
of the Marine Hospital Service,
who, by law, has authority over all
auaranti tine in the United States,
says that yellow fever is not com
municated from u sick person to a
well person. The poison is con-
veyed in clothing or baggage, es
pecially if confined in trunks or
boxes. The favorite lurking places
of the disease are damp, filthy holds
and bilge water of vessels. When
the poison finds lcd9ment ia boat,
a house or a locality they become
centers of infection, which tend to
spread in every direction if on land.
Quarantine by land, beyond disin-
fecting clothing or the effects of
passengers" says DIR. Woodwork,
lis, in my opinion, impracticable, if
not useless, not taking into account
the harm that is done commerce,
which Is no small consideration"
DR. Woodwork says that if boat
affected with yellow fever should
come to st. Louis, Louisville or
the infection mign.
spread from the vessel but,
he says, there is not so much dan
ger from a river boat as from the
ocean vessels, as the former are
more open and better ventilated.
He does not believe the disease can
be carried by mail.

The Fever to Date,

A week has nearly passed since
the first case of yellew fever was
announced by the board of health.
A panic has prevailed during that
time uneXampled in the history of
the world Men, women and chill
dren have fed from their homes,
many of them without any definite
idea of where they were going or of
what they were to do when they
reached a destination selected at
haphazard. More than half the
white people of the city have fed
in CONSERVATION, having only one
idea-self-preservation. By rail
road, by river, by wagons, by any
thing that conld move, they have
fed, many of them receiving their
impetus OF insane dread from those
whose duty it 10 to calm fears
which so often under such ciFcum-
stances, prove fatal. The haste In
flight which characterized the chill
dren of Isreal was nothing to that
which has well nigh depopulated
Memphis. And yet there are more
to 90, more who live in momentary
expectancy OF attack from the
dread disease which is supposed to
Turk in every street and alley in the
city. These are the facts. Com
ment we have none to make

Mexican Dollars.

Referring &c the depreciation of
the Mexican dollar by bankers,
Hoe. James Pollock, Superinten-
dent of the United States Mint ut
Philadelphia, writes that the Mexi-
can silver dollar contains AGA
grains, of the same lineness as our
silver dollar Of 1929 grains. Ac,
cordIngly il has a bullion value of
nearly one cent in excess of ours.
Were it not for the Wall street war
on silver currency, the Mexican
and American dollar would pass
side by side at equal values in all
ordinary business transactions just
as they did eighteen or twenty years
ago There is no reason why they
should not The objection to the
Mexican dollar, that it Is not le-
gal tender dollar and therefore
shoIld not pass current. is a shall,
low sham. A national Bank note
has no legal tender quality, yet
more than $3j0,O00,000 of National
Bank notes are in circulation, and
pass at par with greenbacks, which
are legal tender for all debts and
dues, public and private, except
custom dues.

Ike that OF 1873. This disease is
in mild form, and is yielding to
treatment. The stampede is over,
and the people who remain are
fighting the scourge desperately.
In Grenada the situation is APP
pailing. There were five deaths in
one house last Sunday night. Not
a single case has yet recovered or
promises to recover in that place.
The doctors disagree as to treat
ment, but the grave swallows all
alike. There is great need OF help,
boAh of provisions, money, nurses
and physicians. Many die without
attention.
At New Orleans the disease is Of
a mild type, and is yielding more
readily to treatment than formerly.
There is no abatement in the num-
Der of cases, but the suffering and
destitution is nothing to compare
with that at Grenada.

It Caps the Climax.

Philadelphia Times: If it be true,
rs reported to-day, that the notori-
Gus jerks woman has been appoint
ed to a place IN the New Orleans
Custom House, it caps the climax
of Secretary Sherman's infamy. 1t
is an act that hardly any other man
filling a high position under the
government would dare to own, for
it cannot be constructed otherwise
than of the reward of perjury in
the face of overwhelming and pro
nounced public condemnation of
the purjurer. Mr.. Sherman has
done many culpable things since

Any party which ignores the in
.terests Of the working man deserves
the contempt of the people. The
interests OF labor are the intePes SITS
OF the country at large. The labor
lng element is by large odds the
.predominating one in the country,
and that government or party which
does not respond to its demands is
not democratic What are its de
mands to day? Not that there
should be any special legislation in
its behalf, but that special legislation
in behalf of the bondholder and the
monied power of the country should
cease. That these laws which con
tract the currency, restrict the coin
age of silver, etc, should be re
pealed, and such financial measures
adopted as will tend to restore con
6dence, increase the currency. di-
m;nish the interest bearing debt,
and restore the country to it's won't
ed equilibrium, so that monied men
can find Investments outside of
bonds, and the werkingman can see
some hope of a fair contest in the
struggle for bread. The only par
ty which gives any promise Of this
is the democratic greenback party
of to-day.
