THE PLAGUE IN VIRGTNI1 AND
KENTUCKY

EENTUCKT.
The value Of pure and wholesome water
has never been duly and fully appreciated by
the general public. Disease and death have
often resulted from the use of impure water,
without the victims, or their friends or ply
sicans suspecting the cause. The mysteri-
Gus disease that has been devastating the
mountain regions Of Kentucky and Virginia
is now attributed to the use of poisonous
water. The disease is fatal form Of hux,
resembling cholera, somewhat, and is vio-
lent and uncomfortable in its attacks. What
is very remarkable about it is, that it is con-
tagious. When it enters a family, it is sure
to take every member of it, and whole fami-
lies have been swept of by it,
It prevails in many of the mountain
counties Of the states referred TO. Inyaria-
bly, it is most widespread near the highest
mountains, and by the mountain streams
whose waters are used by the inhabitants for
family purposes. The disease extends over
territory of about seventy miles wide by
eighty miles long. The victims are seized
with gripping pains, followed by bloody and
weakening diarrhea and in few hours
| proves fatal. 1t is accompanied by intense
thirst indicating mineral poisoning as the
cause of the epidemic.
A correspondent who has visited the iu-
fected district, writes that it is a well-kuown
fact that the streams along which The disease
prevails find their beginning in the noun
tains among rocks containing alkali, arsen-
ties, and other poisonous minerals. Until
recently, no rain has fallen for many weeks,
and the streams had nearly dried up. The
water remaining, and which the people were
forced to use was powerfully charged with
these poisonous substances, and the contin-
ued use of it resulted in the epidemic.
DR.. j. Z. Hubbeli, who was sent TO the infec-
ted district to investigate and report, states that
nothing definite is known as to the extent of
the epidemic, but all information shows that il
is quite extensive and fatal. All attribute the
disease to poisonous water. OF this the Doc
tor will make such chemical examination as
opportunities permit, and send out samples
for careful analysis.

THERE is a very general feeling Of indig-
nation and disgust over the prize fight irrup-
lion which has broken out of late in St. Paul
and Minneapolis. Decency is further out
ragged by the Sabbath being selected for these
brutal exhibitions. Unfortunately the laws
of Minnesota do not allow the sending Of
these "hard hitters'' 10 the penitentiary, and
as long as disreputable newspapers pander
10 the deprayed classes Of society by print
ing elaborate reports of these brutalities,
they viii be likely 10 be continued. 1t is
natural TO look for such things in the Pioneer
Press, for it is in keeping with the character
of the sheet that has undertaken 10 elevate

for better things under the new Bostonese
management. In this we were sadly disap-
pointed, as the Tribune yesterday joined the

The subscribers TO these immoral sheets
should apply q remedy which will at least
stop the printing OF these reports. The
withdrawal of little patronage might ''ele-
yate the standard some more.

A BIG SCHEME.
A Plan Proposed for the appointment
of Commissions
To Fix the Grades Of Wheat and Regulate the
EleTatOrs-InterView With
Hon. W. L. Steele

Hon. W. F. Steele, of Steele, D. T., is in
the city. laying the wires for the appointment
Of a joint committee Of the legislatures of
Dakota and MinnesOta on a proposition to
secure a uniform grading Of wheat in the
interests OF the producers, and 10 secure
eQGahle rates of transportation over the rail-
roads. and fair elevator storage at points
OF storage and trsns-shipment. Mr.. Steele is
the especial champion Of the producing iu-
terests.
IL conversation with Mr.. Steele last even
ing he said that be believed the territorial
legislature, of which Re IS a member. would
pass dill this winter Identifying the grades
Of wheat Ia such a manner as TO establish
the qualities beyond persdventure- He
thought commission would be appointed
TO protect the Interests Of the growers and
producers, and be also expressed
the hope that the Minnesota
legislature would provide for a similar com
mission, in which event the needed prOtec-
ton would &c given 10 both the producers Of
this state and Dakota. This, be thought.
would effectu2lly settle the matter aud at the
same time guard a most important interest.
The duties OF the commissions should be
clearly outlined and heavy penalties would
be provided for breach OF trust
The proposed commission would stamp out
the evils Of the elevator system, particularly
al Duluth, from which the wheat growers OK
Dakota and Minnesota now suffer. TX Min
nesOta refused the protection asked FOR, then
the producers would DC compelled 70 look
outside OF her borders for their markets and
in this connection Mr.. Steele was emphatic
in sarinvfbaf fhav WOULD not htok In vain
In conclusion he said that, if the scheme as
outlined was cOnsummated, the wheat grow
ers of the northwest would have an outlet 10
the markets without going to Duluth, and he
spoke confidently Of the complete success of
the rronOsed measures

REPUBLICAN prints are thrown into an &C.

Of machinery its usefulness TO the Repubii-

lustration than at Cincinnati last October,
when that pestilent scab, Ben Butterworth
was elected 10 Congress by the gang Of Mar
shals and their bulldogs. An effort was
made in 1878 TO repeal this partisan outrage
upon the public, but the Republican Senate
would not permitit. That body will not now
interpose to keep the measure upon the stat
ute books. The Republicans will appoint no
more Marshals. The foul blot should be
wiped out. The party soon to be in power
will have no occasion for the dirty work the
law was framed TO execute and has performed
TO the disgust Of al honest men.
