HITTER EEHP[Y-

The Inconvenience and disadvantages, and
dire experience to which Inhabitants of cities
dependent for their supply of water on
streams and rivers, are almost appalling.
The Potomac river supplies Washington city
with drinking water. This river has been
recently most abominably polluted by the in
famous, henous aud criminal practice OF
throwing the carcases OF dead animals into
it, in unlimited numbers. The hog cholera
has prevailed on the upper Potomac, for over
two months in Virginia and Maryland and
the victims of the hog-cholcra, instead of
being buried, have been thrown into the
river and canal. The rascaly farmers that
thus dispose of their dead animals ought to
be severely dealt with. The health authori-
ties OF the city are resorting to measures to
put stop to this abomination. To what ex
tent the river water has been thus polluted
and rendered unfit for use is not known,
but it must have been to very considerable
extent
A health officer has been sent up the river
with boat and a gang OF men to fish out of
the river all the dead hogs they can find,
and burg them. It will be impossible to find
all the decaying dead bodies, nor to prevent
others from being thrown into the water.
No material abatement of this fatal
disease among the hogs is expected before
frost which comes late in the season in
that latitude. The helpless condition Of the
people of Washington, dependent upon PO-
fornac water is fearful to contemplate. The
II ealth Bureau are doing what they can to
remedy this abomination but they cannot
secure "A desirable sanitation of the river wa
ter before cold weather. If the practice Of
throwing dead hogs into the river can be
stopped a greatpoint will be gained But it
may well be feared that the practice cannot
be fully stopped as the farmers will have so
m any opportunities of throwing their dead
ami mals into the river undecided with impu-
nitv.

ONE MILLION sIX HUNDRED THOUSAND FOR
HIS INFLUENCE.


HOW THE PACIFIC RAILWAY, EASTERN D1vIs-
ION, WAS BANKRUPT BY BLACKMAIL--A
STARTLING STORY OF IMMENSE FRAUDS AND
THE CLOSEST CORRUPTION.
After the narrowing details came this sum
ming up in the shape OF tag
Speaker Blaine Is proged TO hare receige9 al
lotments of $4,000 shares OF stock subject 10
assessment. and valued at 81 ,625 900; 5, 500
shares not subject to assessment vain ed at $685.,
600, and 1000 shares more allotted bEt not as
sessed. The two latter lots, not subject TO as
sessment, were secured by Blaine for himself
while the $4,000 shares OF stock subject 10 as
sessment were supposed to he for distribution
among his supporters in helping to procure the
passage of the bill and subsequent amendments.
Not content with the expose made in its
news columns, the Tribune editorially COM
mented on the revelations of its first page
with the following IN. Y. Tribune, Sept. 2S,
1929:
If Speaker Blaine thinks he has effectualiy
"squeched' the Credit Mobilier scandal by his
pompous denial, he may fnd new exercise for
his peculiar talents in that direction in the story
which we print to-day. In the course of railway
litigation proofs of Mr.. Blaines operations in
railway stocks have come ont and are now in
possession of lawyers in this city. We publish
much of this business as Mr.. Blaine will find
time to attend to at once. By these documents
the speaker is proved to have received 80, $50 of
assessable stock of the Union Pacific railway E.
D.. and 2,0o0 unassessable shares of the same
Why was the Speaker of the house dabbing in
this business! Why receiving stock?
The entries show that it was assigned to him,
among others, to secure the ratification of the
Delaware and Pottawatomie treaties and the pas
sage Of a bill in Congress. Mr.. Blane's record
in railway matters grows darker as it is examined
He has never yet given any explanation of his
conduct in peddling stock III the Fort Smith g.
Little Rock railroad among his neghbors in
Maine. &c has now an opportunity to rise to an
explanation of his extensive operations in Union

rich railroad speculation.
Out of his savings in public life Mr.
Blaine has been able to accumulate money
that is counted by millions, as well as being
the owner of house in Washington that
rents for thirteen thousand year, aud own
ing real estate at Augusta, valued in the
neighborhood Of a hundred thousand dollars.
A man of such vast absorbing capacity Is
the man that the Republican party want TO
make President. 1t can't be done. Don't
forget that.

pr+ryE 1 Ky0W NOTHING.

Az. o. D. organ of st. Paul, whose able
editor wears the Blaine collar attached with
a CHASTITY bullN-cye, in order to defend the
Presidential candidate of his party from the
proven charge OF having been Know
Nothing and the editor OF Know Nothing
paper. with parrot-lille intelligence repeats
the gibberish of the New York Tribune that
the proofs offered of Blaine's Know Nothing
career are forgerles. All the Blaine points
are filed with explanations, ''denials,"
and howls of grief at the con-
slant and overwhelming proofs of Blaine's
vcnaitv, duplicity, and general
rottenness. 1t may be of interest to keep
this Know Nothing subject fresh in mind
and without any intention Of adding to the
bowling agony of the perplexed and dis
tressed Editorial Mind that is masked be-
hind the big Blaine bulls-eye. Another
item OF truth is presented 10 the public, that
even jim Blaine cannot brush away with a
''denial''-- Here il is:
To the Editor Of The NeW York World.
The Repubhcun candidate for President, Mr.
James g. Blaine in a letter of Oct. 4, 1854,
saws: at Is utterly untrue that ever advocated
Il residence OF ~ onty one years a. require
ment OF naturalization. On the contrary, l al
ways opposed the party that suggested il. -
Does Mr. Blaine mean 10 say that he aecer was
connected or IN any way identified with the so
called Know Nothing party-or - Henry Wilson
called t. the American party-or that he ever
belonged 10 a Know Nothing lodge or council, If
So he must have very poor memory of the
past.

es they can take care of themselves, if right

to scatter these emigrants, textiles" as Miss
O'Brien is pleased to style them, among the

veloped to accomplish this, but it needs a
more widespread and general effort.
While Englaud's policy, Of such is her
policy to throw large numbers of poor, en-
tirely destitute and impoverished, helpless
paupers on our shores should be resisted, a
healthy emigration should be encouraged of
those who have the capacity of self-support,

able citizens. Such emigration, widely dis
tributed over the country will be mutually
beneficial both to the emigrant and the coun-

THE GREAT NEW YORK MEETINGS.

THE GREAT NEW YORK MEETINGS.
The associated press service has kindly
and persistently given the public volumes
relative to Blaine's movements and his
meetings, but when two of the largest and
most remarkable meetings ever seen In this
country were held in New York city last
Thursday, not one word was vouchsafed. 1t
goes without saying that those two meetings
were in favor of Cleveland and Hendricks,
and though at somewhat late day the
GLOBE this morning supplies the omission
by quotations from Fridays New York
papers.
It is impossible to read the reports of these
gatherings and the character OF the men who
participated without being impressed with
the irresistible strength of Gov Cleveland
in the Empire state. New York can be set
down as solid for the Democracy whatever
the result in Ohio may be tomorrow

Especial Correspondence OF the Globe
APPLETON, Oct. 9.-Another campaign
meeting was held in this place this evening,
in Opera hall, addressed by Hon. Ignatius
Donnelly. The meeting was called to order
by c E. Foster, Esq, when the Hon. A. W.
Lathrop was chosen chairman. Mr.. Lathrop
introduced Mr.. Donnelly with a few well
chosen remarks, and as Mr.. Donnelly arose
loud applause greeted him. He spoke for
about two and onc-half hours, his speech re-
ceiving loud and repeated applause. The
hall was com petely packed, the crowd being
so great that props had to be pnt under the
floor for fear Of its falling in; great numbers
could not get into the hall. This is the
largest crowd ever assembled in Appleton to
hear political speech. On entering the
hall several streamers covering each side of
the hall could be seen with the
following inscriptions: "We Welcome
Hon. Ignatius Donnelly, the eloquent cham
pion Of equal rights;' Down with monopo-
lies, give us equal rights;'' "Donnelly makes
his own speeches." ellis name is Strait,
next November IL will be Dennis;" s'The
November cyclone will hit Strait(Ol states
man from Shakopee;" ''Strait was nomi-
mated by the Office holders, Donnelly by the
people," ''We want no more lingo states
men," All these show how the voters OF
this township will vote in November. 1t was
told me in Shakopee that Mr.. Donnelly would
carry Shakopee, Maj Straits home; and
here 1t is claimed Mr.. Donnelly will carry
Appleton, the home Of Hon. A. W Sever
| ance. Mr. Severance is Maj. Straits pri-
vate secretary when in Washington. That
being fact it would seem that the major
aud his man Friday witt not pick
their teeth on the steps of a Washington
hotel much longer. We went from store to
store to-day in the interest Of the GLOBE and
took pains to ask each one what he thought
Of the congressional situation, and all but
three said Donnelly would be elected. At
the close of the meeting three cheers were
given for Mr. Donnelly and then the band
played another piece of music; and, by the
way, Appleton has one Of the best bands in
this part Of the state. After the band got
through playing a DonnelIy club was organ
ized, with the following officers: A. w. La
throp, president; Z. w. Ouley, vice presi-
dent; Charles Foster, secretary. A commit
tee on bylaws was appointed as follows: X
o. Rire, Z. w. Onley, E. g. Wright The
club adjourned to meet next Monday night
Last Monday night the Republi-
cans attempted TO have grand
rally for Major Strait, but there
were not enough turned out to hear
the speeches, so they adjourned. The farm
eTs in this section, without regard 10 party,
are red-hot for DoDDelly. Wheat is sac per
bushel, and the Minneapolis elevator tried
to put it down to 81, but Van Irwegan's ele-
vator paid 81.
This is a beautiful and thriving town, sur
rounded by handsome and rich country,
and If the farmers have fair play Appleton
would soon be one Of the largest towns in
western Minnesota, for it is peopled by an
enterprising, go-ahead set Of people.

MoxTEvIDEo, Oct. 1.-THE grandest and

the Hon. Ignatius Donnelly, candidate for

a large flag hung across the street with
banner attached TO It which read, ''For Con-

tinued cheers. After the band played
another of their splendid pieces OF
music, B. Fullerton, Esq, introduced Mr..

speech. Mr.. Donnelly stepped to the stand,
When again the hall rang with cheers. When
quiet prevailed Mr.. Donnelly commenced
anu spoke over two hours, his speech being
repeatedly applauded. In looking over the
audience 1t was noticed that a great many
farmers were present; after the close of the
meeting we learned that some OF them had
come distnnce of twenty-five miles to hear
MI. Donnelly. The farmers are all enthusi-
asIlc Ior Mr.. Donnelly, knowing that he is a

II Gleeteu 10 congress will take their part and
neiP 10 pass laws for their good. The
farmers are not only interested in see
ing Mr.. Donnelly elected, but the ma
lority OF the business men of this city are
also interested and are enthusiastic in tbei,
support. asked several farmers why thew
were in favor Of electing Mr.. Donnelly. and
their reply is as follows: Between the rail-
road and the Minneapolis Millers' association
we are being robbed; our wheat to-day ia
worth from SIC to 51c bushel: Major Strait
has been asked repeatedly to try and protect
our interests and he has always been silent:
Mr.. Donnely is scholar, an able orator.
and we believe he will do us good, and for
that reason we are going to support him.
Another thing, Mr.. DonnelIy went to
| congress poor man, stayed there
six years and came out poor
man. Major Strait went into con-
gress not very well off, has been there ten
years, his salary during that time is $50, 600,
but to-day he is worth 5000, 600, and the
question is how did he get it! He has also
mill and an interest in several banks and
that ought to be enough for him."
