FUEL FOR THE MACHINE,

The committee of five appointed by the Republican National Committee have issued the following circular:
 "The undersigned have been re. quested by the Republican National Committee to act as Finance Com mittee for the District of Columbia in the collection of funds to be used by said National Committee in the present political campaign. We have agreed to act, and have organized by the se- lection of A. M. Clapp as Chairman, w. H. Loudermilk as Secretary, and Green B. Raum as Treasurer. On and after this date we will be prepared to receive and receipt for such sums as persons may wish to contribute to the campaign fund of the Republican party. The rooms of the committee, No. 1421 New York Avenue, will be open daily from S:S0 a. m. to 9 p. m."
 This circular is to be sent to all the government clerks, and the committee have hired quarters in the center of Washington, close by the Treasury which pays out the salaries from which contributions" are to come, and fitted them up like a bank, with a counter, and pigeon-hole windows, and books, aud a cashier. The ma chinery could hardly be more perfect, 
 unless they had the salaries docked as the money was paid by the Treasury. This is whatthey no doubt would do if they could.
 The circular, it has been repeatedly announced, was to be contrived so as to evade the following provision of the Civil-service Act of January 16, 1888:
 "Sectlon II. That no Senator, or Representative, or Territorial delegate of Congress, or Senator, Represen. tative, or Delegate elect, or any officer or employee of either of said houses, and no executive, judicial, military, or naval officer of the United States, and no clerk or employee of any depart. ment, branch, or bureau of the execu- tive, judicial, or military or naval ser vice of the United States, shall directly or indirectly, solicit or receive, or be in any manner concerned in soliciting or receiving, any assessment, subscrip. tion, or contribution for any political purpose whatever, from any officer, clerk, or employee of the United States, or any department, branch, or bureau thereof, or from any person receiving any salary or compensation from moneys derived from the Treas. ury of the United States"
 It has frequently been stated, and not denied, that there are on the Re. publican National Committee several members who are also members of the classes prohibited by this act from so. liciting or receiving, or being in any manner concerned in soliciting or receiving assessments, subscriptions, or contributions" from the clerks. If the fact is so, then the machinery so artfully designed to evade the pro- visions of the Civil-Service Act, simply has the effect of furnishing written evidence of a violation of it.

The Washington monument, which had it's inception during Jackson's second term and was begun in 1S34- fifty years ago-will be completed be- fore snow flies. When roofed it will be the highest structure in the world, thirty feet higher than the famous cathedral in Cologne, Germany, but not so long in course of construction as the latter edifce, which was over $50 years in reaching completion. It was first intended that the Washing ton monument should be built by in- dividual contributions, but failing in that, Congress made appropriation to raise it to its present height, 555 feet, from corner stone to apex of roof. At the time of its commencement the pop. ulation of the United States numbered only 12,SOO, O,0O0-42, 100000 less than now. Missouri was at that time the only state or territory west of the Mississippi river. aa:.E -c

Its salutatory promises that it will at all times be found a radical and vigorous advocate of Democratic principles, and that in common sym pathy with the laboring class, it will be found in a peaceful war upon band ed capital, upon the side of the labor. ing class and will oppose the solution of the rights of the working class by other than peaceful means.

The Prohibition party is young.

The Prohibition party is young. Il was organized September 1, 1869, at Chicago, Gerritt Smith being the leader of the movement. In 1872 James Black, of Pennsylvania, and John Russell, of Michigan, were the nominees. In 1876 Green Clay Smith of Kentucky, and Gideon T. Stewart of Ohio, were the nominees, In 1880 Neal Dow, of Maine, and H. A. Thompson, of Ohio, were put in nomi. nation. Ex-Governor St. John, of Kansas, is its present nominee for President, and William Daniels, of Maryland, for Vice-President. It is a one idea party, containing none of the great principles of government, and is not likely to be much of a disturbing element in the present canvass.

 The Piks's Peak Railway, which will be in operation next year, will be the most notable piece of track in the world. It will mount 2,0O0 feet high CT than the Lima & Oroya Railway in Peru. It is now in operation to a point over 12,000 feet above the sea level. The entire thirty miles of its length will be succession of compl.. cated curves and grades, with no piece of straight track longer than 300 feet. The maximum grade will be 316 feet to the mile, and the average grade 27O feet. The line will abound in curves from 500 to 1000 feet long, in which the radius changes every chain.

The Nogales Express says: A rigid quarantine is now. enforced at this place. All passengers arriving OH the trains from Sonora, arc compelled to remain here AS hours, which course subjects travellers to considerable an noyance. On the other hand, it is safe to say that too much vigilance cannot be used in guarding against the intro duction of that fearful scourge-yel- low fever. The cars as we'll as the baggage of passengers are thoroughly fumigated. Stages leaving this point for Tucson are subjected to rigid ex- animation. Asyet, no case of yellow
 fever has reached us, although we have some eight cases of malarial fever, contracted by parties resident of. and

Incendiary letters have been writ. ten to two citizens of Flagstaff threat ening the destruction of their proper. ty should they employ Chinese labor. Another man named Bailey who was building a store with the expectation of opening business received notice not to finish his building or it would be blown up.

THE CATTLE DIsEAsE,

Governor Sheldon has issued proc. lamation declaring the act to prevent the introduction of diseased cattle into New Mexico operative. His reasons for doing so are as follows: --
 "Whereas, numerous citizens and cattle owners of the counties of Dona Ana and Grant, in the Territory of New Mexico, have represented to me that in said counties diseased cattle recently imported from the State of Texas have already alarmingly affect cd the herds of cattle in said counties, and that disastrous results are ineyi- table if further importations are not prohibited; and whereas, it is reported from several localities beyond the linn its of New Mexico that disease has broken out among cattle from contact with those imported from the State ot Texas; and, whereas, as the cattle in- terests of this Territory are of the greatest importance to the people and should be preserved, protected and fostered with jealous watchfulness, and from the information placed be- fore me it is my judgment that these circumstances and public interest war rant and require that the said act, en- titled "An act to prevent the intro ductlon of diseased cattle into the Territory of New Mexico" approved March 10, 1884, should be put in full force and operation and effect"
 All cattle, no matter where from or what kind, must be inspected by the Territorial Cattle Inspectors till fur. ther notice. They are now stationed at Raton, Springer, Sumner, Seven River, Deming, San Augustine, and several other places. The proclama. tion is directed chiefly against diseased Texas cattle, and under the law no discrimination can be made, and all cattle, blooded or common, coming into New Mexico must be examined.
 Acting Governor H. M. Van Arman has also issued proclamation prohib- it ng the importation of cattle into Ari- zona until Oct. 18th, owing to the con tagious disease now prevailing among them. This prompt action on the part of the two governors is commendable, and lessens greatly the chances of the disease being brought into Arizona.
 News from the infected districts of Nebraska and Kansas is very meagre. The presence of the disease is noted at several points in Colorado, and has also appeared in Iowa. By strlct en- forcement of quarantine regulations it is thought that the progress ot tl @ disease can be arrested and confined to the herds already infected.

It is reported that three Mormon elders were assaulted by twelve masked men in Lewis county, Tennes- see, while holding religious meeting. A man named Conder, at whose house the meeting was held, had his skull broken by one of the assailants, who in return fired and killed one of the maskers; after removing his mask he was discovered to be Dave Hinson, a citizen of Hickman county. The rastlers then shot and killed two of the Mormon elders. The other ran to tie woods and was pursued and doubt. less killed, as firing was almost imme. diately heard in that direction. Mrs. Conder was wounded when trying to protect one of the elders. Previous to reaching Condor's house, the attacking party stopped at Mir. Garrett's and found a Mormon there, and left two masked men in charge of him. Shoot. ing was also heard there, and as he was not afterwards seen, it is supposed that he, too, was killed. Mormon. have been maltreated, killed and driy. en from place to place for more than half a century, and still they steadily increase in numbers and worldly wealth, and will continue to do so despite such iniquitous warfare as is recounted as having taken place Tn Lewis county, Tennessee, where "the red stream of life was so recently seen oozing from the dumb lips of death."

RATTLESNAKE OIL.
Voodoo Medicines and their
Various VillainOus In
gradients.

A handsome, we'll dressed woman
entered Chestnut street apothecary
shop yesterday and asked of the pre-
scription clerk, in q stage whisper;
DO you keep rattlesnake oil?"
mo-" replied the compouneer, in
an audible tone; "you will nave to GO
to some druggist lie the sIums for that
commodity"
"Tbat's the fourth call We have
had today or some oae OF the vari-
Gus vooooo medicines" said the. clerk
turning to the reporter, land that
means just four dollars out OF the
boss's pocket. I asked him the other
day to let me mix up some OF the
stuff, but he wouldn't have it. and
stamped out, muttering something
about being an honest man and run.
ming q reputable business %
"But what is rattlesnake oil and
what is it used for? asked the report
II.
"The ingredients can be most any
thing, but the compound is usually
made OF lard, goose grease and some
times little olive oil, and it is gener-
ally used for rheumatism, fits or for
exercising devils. OF course there is
really no such thing as ra.tlesnake oil.
but to meet the heavy demand for it
q great many druggists keep a harm
less compound which they sell as rat
tlesnake oil. It is used as an ONT
ment and under this name it is all
most invariably called for by the
negroes, although as you have iuat
seen, it is OCCASIONALLY asked for by
white women who look intelligent.
1 can only explain this on the ground
that they become imbued with the
superstition from talking oyer their
ailments with their colorsd SER
wants."
"But rsttlesnake OIL" continued
the clerk, becoming interested in his
subject. lis only one of a score OF
these .voodoo medicines and oins-
msnts. There is also great demand
among the negroes for dogs fat, cats
fat. 'possum oil. rabbit fat .and in
short, for the fst and oil of almost
every animal and reptile you can
imagine. / often have calls from the
ignorant Germans and Hupgariapa
for devils sweat spd 'hell POWDER
The ignorant Of almost every nation
atty have differen! specifics for differ,
ent diseases. The negroes take the
palm. however. in the number and
variety of their charmed medicines.
Many druggists keep a bottle filled
with q compound such as l described
to you, from which all Gale for these
various oils and fats are supplied, and
the druggists in the slums make a
good deal from their sale
