sEArrLE, the pretended CONNER
cial metropolis Of the Territory, Is
feeling the effects Of the existing de-
preston, and failures are reported
as frequent We do not mention
this condition Of affairs as an express
sion Of satisfaction over the mis-
fortune Of one Of our sister cities, far
from IT. It Is merely to show that
hard times are knocking at the
doors Of every town in the country,
and that even the most favored To-
cnllties are not exempt We believe
that the worst part Of the season is
now over and that business in every
branch will pick up from nowon into
winter.

IT has long been the boast Of the
Dakota press that that favored Ter
rilory was free at least from the
death dealing cylone, that takes
such a prominent place in the Mis-
sissippl Valley States. However,
that attractive feature Of the boomer
has lost It's drawing power, as a re-
cent effort Of the elements has
wrought broadcast ruin in the neigh
borhood Of Deadwood. Perhaps the
tornado Is seeking new worlds to
conquer and Is throwing out pioneer
feclers toward tho West. We hope
hls curiosity may not carry his dc
struclive force west Of the Rocky
Mountains. There is no demand for
storms Of that nature In this section.

NECK TIE COMMITTEES.

latter was intended it has signally
failed, as Mr.. Morgan states that he
has leased the land to Cinnamon,

and begs the Committee" not to put
off their visit for a fortnight but to
come at once, his generosity being
such that he promises to have the
tar and feathers ready on the
arrival of the mob. We hardly
think that anything was meant by
the correspondent unless some indi-
vi1ual entertained an idea that an
anonymous communication Of a
serious nature might induce Nor
gan to discharge the obnoxious

The Popular Scapegoat.


Not only was Jay Gould made the popular
scapegoat for this and for other more or less
heinous acts of his in the course of the late can
vass but the precise object which he had in
view in endeayoring to secure the election of Mr.
Blaine was ascertained and made public. New
York newspapers, that certainly must have
known better, started it, and political speakers
repeated it, as Mr. Richard T. Merrick did in
Washington last week This object, briefly
stated, was to obtain the remission of the large
debt which theUnion and Central Pacific Railroad
Companies viii owe to the government en- in the
that Mr.. Gould has official connection with
land probably no interest inl either of these
companies. His great wealth is invested prin-
cipally in the stock and securities of the Western
Union Telegraph Company, the Missouri Pacific
Railroad Company and the New York elevated
railroads He probably does not care a fig
whether the Central and Union Pacific Railroad
Companies have to pay the last farthing of their
Indebtedness to the government, or whether
they may find some way of getting out of it.

AN UNNAMED DISEASE.
The Mysterious and Fatal Malady Prevail
ing in Virginia and Kentucky.

LYNcHBURG, Va, Nov 20.-The counties suf-
fering from an unknown and fatal disease, be-
fore reported are Lee, Dickinson, and the
edge of Scott in Virginia, and Harland, Lee
and adjoining counties in Kentucky Owing to
their isolated position particulars are hard to
obtain. Hundreds have died, and, allowing for
exaggeration, the mortality is large.
Postal Clerk Wells who has just arrived from
that section after having had the disease gives
sad account of the epidemic. He attributes it
to mineral poison in the drouth dried waters
and says strong and disagreeable mineral
taste, like copperas, exists in these waters. At
the time he left, but few springs were flowing
freely, and the people were compelled to drink
this impregnated water. Although the disease
is unknown, the people call it cholera, and were
it so, it could not be more dreaded or disastrous
The symptoms are described as being like those
of Asiatic cholera, followed by terrible hem
orrhage of the bowels, and persons attacked die
or recover in about a week. 1t is frequently ia
visits an entire family, and is considered so con
taglous that in some cases the party
afflicted dies alone, their friends being
afraid to go to them. The figures
of mortality are not known, but it is estimated
that over 300 have died in the Virginia counties
named, and considering the small population and
the number taken sick, the percentage IS large.
At the late election the number of deaths consid
eraby affected the majorities at the various pre-
cincts, and thirty new graves were counted in
small cemetery. AS result, the people are de-
moralized and local business interests suffer.
like scourge visited this section in 1854. This
is an extremely mountainous country, and of
high altitude. Cattle are also dying in some sec

two days past, and probably the drought is over

Grover Cleveland and His Fiance.


You have noticed statement that probably
Governor Cleveland is to marry Miss Marie Love,
of Buffalo. l guess this is mistake but the
lady in question has perfect fitness to preside
over the executive mansion. She is one of three
sisters, two of whom remain unmarried
The third is the widow of DIR. Walter Cary, of
Buffalo. These ladies were named Love; and
were of an excellent family, and had means DR..
Cary inherited from his father, Trumbull Cary,
an anti-Mason, considerable fortune which he
increased by business application, and he left his
widow rich He was gentleman of the European
stamp. Afflicted with asthma or hay fever, he
crossed the ocean from thirty to forty times,
generally taking his family along, and he had a
large number of boys. He was Republican,
and so were all the family. The boys however,
brought up about Paris, were rather on the re,
form pattern, and their mother, at their request,
entertained Cleveland when he recently went to
Buffalo
1t had been said that Cleveland had few or no
friends in society Mrs. Cary put her seal against
that statement. She is the owner of the Genesee
Hotel there. Her sister, Maria, is tall, blue
eyed, fair comp lsxioned lady of great sweetness
of nature, with wide experience of foreign
travel and general society, and while l suspect
that she has no idea of marrying, the whisper of
her name was natural enough.

The Man in the Counting Room.
Chicago News,


When Secretary of War Lincoln was in Spring
field, few days after election, he dropped in at
the State Journal Office to see copy of the New
York Tribune. There was only one other person
in the counting room, and that was dapper
young fellow who appeared to be a cross between
a lawn-tennis player and a dude. II can not find
the New York Tribune at any of the news
look over s Your office COPY if YOU please The
dapper young fellow regarded Mr.. Lincoln with
a cold countenance. you can go upstairs, said
the dapper young fellew, land if they're not too
busy up there and have got through with it, you
can look it over but you mustn't take it out of
the Office We're bothered a great deal by peo-
pie coming in to get the news out of our ex-
changes when they ought to buy our own paper
Mr.. Lincoln bore this reproof very mildly, but
when Editor Paul Selby heard about it he tore
out his hair in chunks, and turned four distinct
shades livider than his accustomed hue.

Cleyeland's election, General Wallace said Mr.
Cleveland now has an opportunity to show the
American people whether or not he is great

chief executive, he would notify the country in
advance of his ideas concerning the tariff, it
would in my opinion have great influence
upon his party as represented in Congress, and
somewhat steady the business of the country,
which this talk of free trade tends to demoralize
In my judgment the manufacturers of the coun-
try will not enter upon any new enterprises or
go on very energetically with the old ones until
they get come sort of peep at the Democratic

Gossip is already heard about the Cabinet of
President Clevelan. The name of General
Mcclellan is mentioned as possible Secretary
of War, although no one knows that he would
accept or desire such an appointment. In naval
circles it is said that if the new President wants
to put young and vigorous man in the Navy
Department, who has full knowledge of the
service, and who might put new vigor and life
into the navy, he could not do better than to
take the Hon. Gustavus " Menzies, of Mt. Yer
