The Secret of HubbeIrs Activity.

The energy with which Mr.. jay Abel Hub-
bell has pursued one armed veterans. small
boys, hostlers at government stables, SOL
dlers' widows and most other classes of
people, whose names appear on the national
pay rolls has at times seemed as a1mirahIe as
its motive was vile. 1t is no small thing for
man to hold himself up before a great ma
tlon as the concentration of q great partv5s
poverty and shamelessness: so when anv
man does 1t the natural thing is to credit
him with an unselfsh devotion which is
rare enough In party circles to be admirable
even when it is mistaken. But the secret of
Hubbell's activity seems to be sometime,
entirely unconnected with partisan en-
thustasm. Hubbell announces that he is
candidate for the Senatorship soon tn he

the committee whose dirty work Hubbell

Reports Of Its Fatality Exaggerated d

LAREDO, TEXAS, July 1.-SurroundiDg
points have established a strict quarantine
against Brownsville and Matamoras. There
were several deaths at Matamoras on Sun
day, including the daughter OF Gen. Santos
aud Mr.. Berivides, Representative in the
Texas Legislature. A prominent physician,
DIR. Carazos, is nrostrated. The general
opinion is that the fever is of a mild type,
yielding to quinine. The reports published
in many papers, giving eighteen deaths at
Mstamoras and three at Brownsville, are
exaggerated. There were no cases at
Brownsville up to Saturday night.
LAREDO, TEXAS, July 81 The deaths at
Matamoras since Saturday have been
twelve. 1t is estimated that the existing
cases number forsv. The cause OF the sick
ness is believed to be the general unhealthy
condition of the country on account of the
last annual overflow of the Rio Grande
The small increase in the number of cases
shows that the disease is seemingly under
control. 1t yields readily to proper treat
ment.

The inability Of the average French
mind to endure reverses with anything
like fortitude has been exemplified in a
most remarkable manner throughout the
panic caused by the collapse of that
gigantic financial bubble, the Union
Generate. With wild rapture the en-
thusiastic French SPECTATORS appear to
have yushed into the embrace of a clique
of the shrewdest swindlers of the age,
but when the clay feet of the golden
idol were displayed instead of picking
their fints and trying again, as the stolid
Britons or the ambitious, energetic
Americans would have done, the impetu-
GUS, mercurial Gusls threw up their
hands, tore their hair, and with a wall OF
utter misery rushed into the still wilder
speculation Of an incomprehensible eter.

public proposes to protect them against
themselves. Such unreasonable beings
are not ft to be trusted alone on the
border line between pure speculation and
rank gambling; their instincts or theil
impulses are almost sure to land them on
the wrong side Of the fence. 1t ia posi-
bile that some people can speculate with
out gambling, but hardly probable that
Frenchman will do SO.

The verdict Of the Coroner's Jury that
soteldo came to his death from a pistol
shot wound inflicted by his brother, says
the New York Mail, has not enough evil
dence to support it to make it satisfactory
to the people Of Washington. The dis
covery that the bullet which killed
Sotcldo was almost equal in weight to
the one taken from the neck OF Barton
anpears to have been the foundation OF
the verdict. But why was there no ex-
animation OF the caIibre Of the pistol
fred by Barton? If proof has been OBJ
tanned that Barton's weapon could not
have carried the ball which killed So

to answer for without being made the

that the conduct Of himself and his dead

assaulting him justified the use OF the
pistol b. the latter. If Barton can es-

A Shooting ARRAY Between Shep.
herd and Mclean.
CANDELARIA, Feb. 20.-About 1880 this
morning a shooting affray occurred at this
place between T. F. Shepherd, Waterman
at the Mt. Potosi mine, and Joseph Mclean.
Both are well known citizens of Candelaria.
Twelve or fifteen shots were fired, and
both men are dangerously wounded. Shep-
herd was shot above the right breast, and
Mclean was wounded In the right side.
The difficulty grew out Of q quarrel over a
game OF cards. Both men were under the
influence OF liquor.
