Bagdad has lately been visited by an cpl
demic fever, which Is attributed to the gen
eral imperfection OF its sanitary arrange
ments. Fever Is indeed almost constantly
raging among the poorer classes Of Bagdad,
who die In large numbers, being unable to
pay the exorbitant charges demanded by the
native druggists for guinine. They have,
however, another antidote by which they set
great store, and which has at least the merit
OF costing no money and being easy OF appli-
cation. A large gun, captured many years
ago by the Turks in war with the Persians,
occupies prominent position In the city,
being placed on kind OF scaffold and illumi-
mated at night by four lanterns. This gun is
firmly believed to possess the miraculous
power OF curing fever and warding off It's at
tacks. Accordingly, when fever is most
prevalent, dense crowds push and struggle
with each other with the object of reaching
the gun and rubbing themselves against It,
OF late, owing to the scarcity of quinine, the
gun has been rubbed against with UNUSUAL
vigor, and it Is credited with miracles OF heal
ing that more than atone for any amount OF
destruction 1t may have effected In days OF

How Prohibition works.
Boston Herald

Col. Carroll d. Wright Of the bureau OF
statistics has collected, from 10 cities and 800
towns, statistics bearing upon the liquor
laws working. He finds that in 1874, with
a prohibitory law, there were $3.50 Illegal
sellers OF rum, and the arrests for drunken
ness numbered 2S,s60, resulting In 1898 con-
victiOns. In 1877 there were SAL licensed
sellers, 2O,494 arrests for drunkenness and
1888 convictions. An omission appears In
leaving unmentioned the places where rum
was sold In 1877 without any license, OF which
there were doubtless many, especially in the
granting licenses In the cities, but it appears
that rumselers have suffered from the hard
times like otEer people, though they may
have made good their profits by watering
their rum more. and that would help to
account for the decrease OF drunkenness.
There is much less drinking than formerly In
this community. Old soakers are becoming
rare.

National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1879-09-09

THE Vicksburg Miss Herald, au afore-
time bull-dozing journal, one that sup
ported the LAMAR-DfxoN method Of estab-
fishing Home Rule in that State, has lately
received much deserved praise for it's con-
servative course, and especially for its cour-
ageous denunciation of the BARKsDALE-
DIXON murder. Just now it is being visited
with the proscriptivo wrath of its former
associates in politics in consequence of that
conservatism. From recent issue we copy
the following significant alluson to the
troubles which environ Independentism in
the Pelican State:
The Bourbous assert that discipline must be
kept up or the State will again suffer from
what they term negro supremacy" They
mean by discipline that nigger-bc-dam
policy should be pursued. Resolving that the
political equality Of all men shall he guaran-
tced aud protected, they propose to conccde
nothing to the colored voters A wise conces-
sion is not to be thought of. say they. Here
is our ticket we'll elect it," they cry out; but
when they are asked how they will elect it
without some support from the colored voters,
they fly into Il rage and dcuounce their ques-
TONERS us Radicals.

DEMOCRATIC pIsooMFIrURE.

The Democrats are more astounded at
the proceedings, results and aspects of the
Republican Convention mt Saratoga than
anybody else They had predicted an
acrimonious aud stormy session, with results
that would prove calamitous to the Repub-
lican cause, but they have been most sadly
disappointed. The personnel Of the conven-
tion was the ablest ever convened in the
State. 1t was composed of stalwart men of
all shades of party relation. The Admins
traton, so to speak, was ably represented by
ex-senator FENToN, GEORGE WILLIAM
CURTIS and other prominent advocates of
civil-service reform. The great mass of the
Republican party, its bone and sin ew-the
men who stand by the fundame ntal princi-
indulgencies in specialties and side
shows-were represented by men of
distinguished ability. These met in delib-
Grafton on common platform, and
conformity represented their personal
preferences in the body without an acrimo-
nious or disparaging word from either side
| The convention voted, and the results were
accepted by all sides in the most fraternal
spirit, without a word Of unkndness to mar
the harmonies of the occasion. When the
platform had been adopted and the ticket
had been completed, the convention ad-
iourned. All differences, all preiudices, all
preferences at once dissolved as q vapOr,
when the determinations of the conven-
tion had trnspired, and the delegates
of all shades left for their constituencies
inspired by solitary purpose-to dis
charge their duty as sturdy Republicans
and bring success to the ticket presented.
This, of course, disappoints tho common
enemy. He can draw no comfort from any
aspect of the case. He reads defeat for
his party on every lineRment of the
opening canvass. He is made to confront
the inevitable aud stands dumbfounded at
the prospect. The Republican party in
! New York is now unit, aud that ihct al
ways presages defeat to its foe in the En-
pire State. The Republicans in that State
are invariably successful when united ex-
cept as in the defeat Of JOIN A. GRIswOLD,
when there was subyersion of the result
under the TILDEN policy of counting out.
The Republicans Of New York have delib-
erately determined TO elect the ticket formed
at Saratoga, and nothing but the grossest
frauds can possibly prevent their accom-
plshing the work they have in hand. They
were no more in earnest in 1872, when they
swept the State by over $4,000 majority
than they are to-day, and tho discontinue
of the Democratic party will increase as the
cam paign wakes warmer,

YEsTERDAY,s VICTORY.

We have no words to waste on the result
in Maine; neither can we find language
adequate to express our qualification at the
showing made on our news page for the
Republican cause in that noble State. The
people have risen in their might and
wrested power from the hands of that pie
bald political conglomeration composed of
disloyal Democrats and lunatic Green
hackers, and restored it to the custody of
loyal and patriotic Republicans. The
present showing is that the Executive and
legislative branches of the Government are
thoroughly and unequivocally Republican.
This is glory enough for one election. 1t
sends glorious greeting to Ohio and Iowa,
and they will echo back in October n response
equally noble and satisfactory. This is the
true Republican boom. II tells the world
that the loyal people of the North have de-
termined to save the Nation from the
clutctches of disloyalty, notification and
revolution, ana sustain III where our lore
fathers placed it, in the hearts and hands
of its true friends and patriotic defenders
and preservers. In November the work so
nobly begun in California and Maine will
be completed by New York, Pennsylvania
and their patriotic sisters throughout the
North and West, thus welding q solid NOrtl
to confront n solid South Let the cannon
speak! Let the Id flag float out upon the
! breeze! Let the bells ring out their Joy
Gus peals Let the eagle scream! Let the
popular huzza make the welllin ring Fol
Maine and California have spoken, and the
National supremacy rises maiestically over
State sovereignty! The country is saved

portions as yet, and probably will not, for
the spirit of Independence seems to have
died out among the people of the Ever

fact, by the indifference heretofore exhibited
on the part of the United States to their
previous efforts to throw Off the bondage of
European control. But it is possible that 1t

TfLDEN will have the Democratic State
Convention at Syracuse tomorrow at his
beck, aud Governor ROBINSON will be re-

about it remains to he seen. The success of
ROBINSON means TILDEN in 1880. This is
distinctly understood. The Herald suggests
that it is for Governor ROBINSON TO decide
whether he will be Mr.. TILDENs pawn for
playing such game. 1t is still within
his power during the next two days to re-
tire with honor and earn the gratitude Of
his party by removing the chief obstacle
to harmony. Even the consolidated De-
