LABOUCHERE's LIFE
As an Atfache OF a Rowing Cfrcus-His
Experience tn Milwaukee.

In the course of an article on the quarrel
between Mrs. Labouchere aud Mrs. Lapgtry
the Milwaukee Eveaing Journal makes the
following reference to L1bouchere: "Years
| ago, when Grand avenue was known by the
less Pretentious name of Spring street, the
great London journalist to be, Labouchere,
came struggling through Milwaukee as an
dnqehe OF circus company, eking out an
existence as sort of a peanut vender. He
| Is graduate of Cambridge, and in order to
get at the true inwardress OF his then mental
position it is necessary 10 go beneath the
surface. When young man, leaving his
home in England on account of his unruly
disposition and dissipation, he journeyed to
Mexico, locating In the capital. At that
place he met and loved fair maid of the
sawdust arena, who rode the ring around in
short dresses and long stockings. Her postum
ing on the back of the flying steed was more
than the Labouchere flesh and blood
could stand, and 80, in order to be near the
object of his affections the Cambridge gradu-
ate enlisted for the season peanut yen-
der, and in the course of time Milwaukee
became entitled to budget of his history by
visit and vending of his wares. This is

may be added that about the time referred 10
above, Labouchere, following the mandates
of his rowing disposition, joined the Chip
pewa Indians in the northern part of the
State, and remained with them nearly three
months, enjoying their lazy camp life, join
ing the braves in their hunting expeditions,
and disporting himself with the homely
maidens of the tribe.
The Deafh-Rate I'm Ihe United States.
From the compendium of the tenth census
it appears that the total number of deaths
which were reported in the United States
during the census year was 756, 1895, or
death-rate of ISL per 1000. Tue auctual
number of death was probably 100000 more.
The male death-rate is placed at Is 35 per
1000 and 14.81 for the female. OF 390,644
deaths of males, in which the ages were
given, 96, e94 were under one year of age, and
163, $50 under Eve years. OF 363, S74 deaths
OF females, of which the ages were given,
1872 were less than one year old, and 1885,
800 less than Eve years. Thirty-eight thou
sand three hundred and ninety-eight per-
cons are said to have died of diphiheria,
y ,905 from typhoid, 20,261 from malarial
fever, and 81 SOL of consumption. This
large mortality from consumption Is start
ling, indeed, and shows how much still re-
mains to be accomplished in the prevention
Of this pestilence.

Against Reducing the Taxes.

The Baakers' Magazine for November
has vigorous article from the pen of
George M. Weston, well-known writer
On financial subjects, in which the ground
is taken and strongly and ably urged that
the general prosperity will be best pro-
NOTED by continuing present rates of
taxation and the great annual surplus,
for the purpose of rapidly paying off the
$400000,000 of national debt which the
government has the right now to call for
payment. The argument is that money
collected in small sums from all, and
paid out to the capitalists who now have
their hoardings in government bonds,
will compel the latter to invest
in general enterprises and make flush
times, instead of owning an interest-bear.
Ing debt. We are not prepared to say
that national debt is national bless
ing, nor are we blind to the fact that the
rising prices which would accompany
the reinvestment of $400,000,000 within
short time by heavy capitalists would
be a boon to people owning property
other than m oney, and would increase
salaries and wages, as well as the cost Of
living. But we doubt if the people can
be charmed by any argument that can
be made against great reduction of the
national income and u minimum outlay
for debt and expenditures. The order
would appear to have gone forth.

The Distriot Wntcr sunnlv.

The annual report of Captain Hoxie TO
the Engineer Commissioner of the Dis
trict, Major Lydecker, is paper of abb
sorbing interest, and should be in the
hands of every householder. The great
est interest centers in the water supply
or rather, the present famine and pro.
posed supply. The outlook for awhile is
rather gloomy. We are to be reduced to
an intermittent supply, by which is
meant that all consumers will have to
supply themselves with tanks in which
during supply hours they can store up
what is to be used while the flow is
suspended. Different portions of the
city will Of course be supplied at diff
ierent hours of the twenty-four. The
metre system is opposed by Captain
Hoxie, for the reasons that the cost
would be greater than that Of tanks
(bath tubs being available for these),
that metres are notyet successfully work
ing, and that the need for them would
in any event be but temporary. The
liberal action of Congress promises an
abundant supply of water as soon as the
work can be done, after which we are
assured "the water famine must cease fol
many years." 1t is curious fact, stated
in the report, that the water consumed
and vast ed at night is not materially less
than during the day time.

Concerning the Dollar Ballot.

The Bourbon Washington organ offers
the following as settler:

the leading exponent of Republican sentiment in
The Bay State snys: "The blessings and privileges
which result from a we'll ordered government are
universal, and reach the poor as well US the rich
The man who does not care enough for his rights
as citizen to contribute dollar to the support Of
the government is not worthy of the privileges
which he values SO lightly" We invite the atten-
lion of Mr.. Mahone's Washington organ to this
declaration of Republican policy. The capitation
tax is no Democratic i'm ention.
We do not know to what Boston Re-
publican newspaper our contemporary
refers, but we are willing that it shall be
considered authority by the Posi-. There
is no newspaper printed in Boston or
elsewhere the opinions of which OH any

The frankness Of the foregoing utter
ance of leading Bourbon organ is in re-
freshing contrast with the false pretenses
of some more timid ones, and knocks of
the Republican veneering from some
powerful Bourbon-Republican organs at
the North. These pretended Republican
journals are wholly false and hopelessly
renegade. They pretend to see nothing
Objectionable in the methods of the South

any attempt to divide and conquer it.
Their way of lending aid and comfort
to the enemy is to discourage all move
ments which promise Bourbon over
throw through union between Re-
publicans and the Independents, who
rebel against the Bourbon organization.
w hen Straight Republcanism at the
South was under fire in 1S72-1977 the
present Northern Republican enemies of
liberal coalitions were then sneering at
the "outrage mill, and deprecating "ne-
gro and carpet-bag rule" Their present
new-formed love for Straightoutism is
only continuance of the allegiance
then yielded the Bourbons. They were
opposed to Southern Republicanism when
they might have improved and saved it,
and they are in favor of it now that it is
harmless as against the enemy. They
would not support the government when
it tried to protect the negro, and they
will not now affiliate with Southern In
dependents who do protect him. They
are the stone in the black mans shoe.
The Republican party must spurn such
Bourbon lacqueys, or it will itself be
spurned by every black man in the land
