new cases and five deaths were reported
to-day. Total number of cases to date,
2,O5S; deaths, 16S. The demands of
want and woe, for relief, increase as the
fever is prolonged. The fever has
crossed Little bayou, two miles from the
city. A visit TO day by the board of
health 10 the neighborhood, and TO the
slums of the city, revealed many scenes
of misery and suffering combined with
some that were almost Understandable.

Some of the bob-tailed politicians of
Topeka and members of the city council,
and especially the anti st. John Repub-
lican sore-head club of that city, are
laboring under the impression that they
are running the politics of this state.
They sent out dispatch yesterday
headed "Hurtful Developments" which
was gleefully snapped up by the Demo
cratic papers, in which they claimed
that st. Johns friends were beseeching
them TO let up on their fight on the
governor. st. John need not want q
better thing than to let it be known ov-
er the state that the professional polite
ians and saloon bummers Of Topeka are
opposing him. Topeka does not run
this state. Let the political wiseacres of
that town wait till the country districts
are heard from. They will then sing a
different tune.

Important Pension IlcnIsian

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Acting Secre-
tary of the Interior, Jacylin, recorded a
| decision of the utmost importance to a
large class of applicants for pensions.
He holds, in effect, that seven years ab-
sence may be taken as proof if the pre-
sumption OF soldiers death, and such
proof shall warrant the issue of a pen
sion to his family if the other require
ments have been complied with This
decision is in direct reversal of the
practice that has hitherto prevailed in
the pension bureau. Positive proof of
a soldiers death was required which in
many cases was impossible to produce.

Globe Democrat: The Financial
Chronicle now anticipates government
income of $4S0, O0O, 600 during the cur.
rent fiscal year. In the first nine
months of the calendar year customs
receipts at New York have averaged
nearly $1,25O,O00 month in excess OF
the same months last year, and s5,O0O,-
600 month in excess of1S79. Imports
for long time have gone directly into
consumption, not into warehouse, and
there is, 10 say the least, no immediate
prospect of their falling of greatly.
Statisticians who have reckoned on only
s4O5, 600 900 to $410.O00,OOO of revenue
this year will have TO raise their esu-
mates. AT $3.50, 600 900 the surplus, not
allowing for the sinking fund, will be
in the neighborhood of $4,000, 900.
This ought 70 lead congress to reduce
taxes, but is more likely to influence it
10 increase appropriations.

st. Louis to Have a New Denot

ST. Louis, Oct. 24.-While Jay Gould
was here to-day he made IA careful ex-
animation of the maps and plans for a
new passenger depot in this city, and
said: If the owners do not put too
high price on their land, a new depot,
fully equal to the requirements OF the
great and growing traffic at this point,
will be completed within year. The
location of the new building has not yet
been decided upon, but the old
structure is to be torn down, and the
space now occupied by it is to be used
for tracks, and the new dope. will be
built further west, possibly four 10 six

The Boston Evening Transcript has
this: "Gould's touch is almost leprosy
to a newspaper. The papers in New
York which have his imprint upon
them, whether Republican or Demo
cratic, have already lost large measure
of the influence on the public they
once possessed" Still some fellows
would rather have the leprOsy than not
to print paper. 1t is awful handy TO
have Gould and the other railroad fel-
lows pay bills. But it is hard on legiti-
mate newspaper enterprises When the
papers become the organs OF the rail
roads. telegraph companies and so on,
there isn's much show for the interests
