The Milwaukee Sentinel reads the
democratic party a lecture on its duty
toward Grant because of his services to
the country, and cautions them against
acting on his pension in any partisan
spirit. A like lecture on justice to Fitz
John Porter would not be out of place.
Gen. Porter's politics has stood in the
way of justice being done him. Some
there are who believe Porter traitor,
but they are of the number who form
their opinions more upon prejudice than
candid investigation. Grant has had no
wrong done him. There is nothing in
his case to be undone. The people have
honoted him and he has no cause for
complaint. He has descended from his
high position to become mere politi
should his friends complain if the dem
ocrats treat him upon the plane he has
chosen to occupy partisan? No one
can forget his attitude in 1876 when he
aided in thwarting the will of the people.
Non his undignified electioneering in
1880. Does any one believe that single
democrat in congress would hesitate to
pension General Sherman if he was not
provided for Sherman has created no
enmities by his course. He never init
mated his willingness to use the army
for party purposes and against the right.
He has been il all things highmnded,
patriotic American citizen and the whole
people without regard to party, accord
him the highest respect. Grant has
chosen to be malignant partisan, and
democrats are justified in meeting him
upon the ground he has occupied. The
fight is of his choosing, not theirs, If
he acts the partisan can democrats be
expected to have higher sense of duty
than this deml god who has an eternal
craving for honors, gifts and subsidiesi

The very strong endorsement given to
DIR. FIshblatt by the medical profession
and testimony of those upon whom he
effected wonderful cures have rendered
his movements of much interest to the
afflicted. The cures he has affected in
the city and in many other places are SO
well authenticated that no one can doubt
his competence to do just what lie pro-
fesses to do; and as there are but few
who really come up to their professions
of skill and ability in treating the diseas-
es that affiict humanity, it is right to
patroni2e man like DR.. Fishblatt, who
does al. he promises 10 perform. The
treatment of diseases which mar the hap
piness of thousands Of people, has secur-
ed him an immense practise, and likely
he will be crowded with patients during
his visit here. Read the following testi
monials in very SPECIAL cases

periods for several years, as result of
arrangement of the womb and came to
me for advice in her case. l prescribed
course of treatment which not only
restored her health, bat removed the
barrenness, and she is now a happy

by her husband, consulted me in June,

CARL JONAS of the Racine Slavic writes
i letter TO The Chicago Times in which
he quotes Hon. Jos. Villas as saying that
Blaine now holds an interest of $50, 900
in the Hooking Valley coal mines and is
one OF the directors of the Standard Coal
and Iron Company, Mr.. Villas holding
Il like position. The writer has had the
same information from Mr.. Villas before
the election, but the gentleman did not
wish to be quoted by the newspapers
aud would not allow The Pilot to eite
him as authority. His only wonder was
why Blaine should tell such transpar-
ent falsehood, and without reason.

they lost their heads, and before they
got down to work it was plain to every
body that the whole building must 60
Now, first the boys began to think of
saving something, though the firemen
did their best to prevent them. What
things they could get at they removed,
but it was too late to save the valuable
and rare collections and the ant museum,
and the professors had to stand there
and see years of their work cremated
before their eyes, and some of them had
their hearts almost locked up in that
building. 1t was aggravating to see
that chump of fire company let those
flames crawl around that building, with
the wind in their favor, and they stand
there and do absolutely nothing even to
hinder it. AS Prof. irving said next
morning, if they had not come around
at all it would have been better, and we
might have saved thousands of dollars
worth of instruments and materials; they
weren't zephyr in whirlwind to that
fire after it got well started. The build.
ing was completely Quilted and about ten
o'clock one of the walls fell; the others
still stand as if in mockery of the mag
niHoeDt structure that had been destroy
ed. The building was large, 111x156,
and very stately, though not what you
could call handsome, and cost with i'm
provemenH in the neighborhood of
100000 But the loss of the building
was nothing in comparison with the loss
of its contents. The former can be re-
placed by money but the latter is some
thing money can not replace. The loss
in figures will reach 100000, but the
loss of many of the collections and of
the time spent on them can not be COM
puted. Many of the students lost instru.
ments and collections by the fire, worth
all the way from to 200 dollars. 1t is
q very severe blow to the school and will
cause many students to leave. This de
partment was the strongest one of the
school and is entirely wiped out. The
"Regents' and Faculty" are hard at
work, however, fitting up other labora-
tories and finding other accommodations
and will have things in running order
by next term. One of the professors is
said 10 have made the statement that
with from 100000 to 100000 dollars in
four years they could replace everything
but the collections. But there is a
serious doubt whether the Legislature,
being "farmer one," will make any
such appropriation.
My studies for this and next term are
in no way effected as 1 had none before
in this building. To give you an idea
of the loss the University sustained, l
think that, throw out the library, and
we could better afford to lose the other,
and they are by no means ordinary sized,
than this. The origin of the fire is a
mystery. A fire was set last night in
one of the largest blocks in the center of
the business portion of the town and
would have created great havoc had it
not been discovered in time. ED.

The plague in Kentucky and Virginia
has proved fully as fatal as the yellow
fever. Over 1000 people died of it and
the doctors seemed to be wholly unable
to check it. as it refused to yied to their
treatment There is no doubt that it
was induced by the impure water made
so by the long continued drouth. The
disease is very similar to the Asiatic
cholera both in its malignity and symp-
toms. 1t is now abating, owing to the
rains and frost with which the country
has been visited.

to make an honest living in the northern

without labor. There cannot be any
