"Will this weaken the party9" was asked
For the time being; and it may result in our
losing one or two elections. Eventually it will
make the party stronger, however. The Demo
Gratis of Louisiana are mostly natives, and as
there is little immigration the character of the
population changes but little. Native Southern
ers are naturally Democrats and if they get out
OF the line at any time, it is only temporarily,
and when they return to their first love they are
less likely to leave it than before. If we were to
have an election in our State this fall presume
the opposition to the administration would fail.

RlOTING AT PITTSBURG.
ROughs Take Possession of Excursion Steam
ers and Destroy Two Barges.

PITTsBURG, Oct. ia crowd Of 900 peo-
pie, among whom were a large number of roughs,
gathered on the wharf, this afternoon, to join an
excursion to Davis Island dam, where Capt
Paul Boyton was advertised to give an exhibi-
bition. The officers of the steamers were over
powered. and their boats loaded to the waters
edge On this account they were afraid to make
the trip, and announced that the exhibition would
be given before the wharf. This announcement
led to riot, during which the roughs with axes
and other implements, almost cut up the excur
sion barges Edna and Alice, and compelled the
officers to jump into the river to their lives,
because they would not refund the money taken
for tickets. large force of policemen was
ordered to the wharf but order was not restored
for long time. The ring leaders were arrested
Only one man was slightly injured.

THE AsIATIC CHOLERA.
Consul Mason's Report on the Subsistence of
the Disease at Marseilles and Toulon.

Consul Mason's Report on the Subsidence of
the Disease at Marseilles and Toulon.
WASHINGTON, Oct. ia final report, dated
Oct l, describing the gradual subsdence of the
cholera at Marseilles and Toulon, and its disap-
pearance from Cette, has been received
by the Secretary of State from United States
Consul Frank FL. Mason. The most fatal day
at Marseilles was the 2lst of August with a
death record of sixty-nine; that of Toulon, was
the 9th of August, on which date forty two
deaths We're recorded. The subsidence of the
scourge has been gradual, and the deaths now
occurring are nearly all among fugitves,
who have returned to their homes
without due precaution in respect to
ventilation and disinfection. and have been i'm
prudent in their diet or habits. 1t is a pleasure
to be able to close the record of this epidemic
without including among its victims the
of any citizen of the United States. This is the
more gratifying, in that the malady was. particu-
larly In its earlier stages fatal to foreigners no.
tably English and Scadinavians Two American
vessels were in port during the early and most
fatal stage of the epidemic There were in all,
on both vessels, nine cases. including both cap
tains, of acute choleraic diarrhpa. Consul Ma
son says that he prescribed the remedy Of DR..
Valentine, of New York. with more than
ordinarily good success Its formula
is: Tincture of rhubarb, ten parts;
OF laudanum, four parts; camphor,
one part syrup of ether, fifty parts; syrup of
bitter orange peel fifty parts; teaspoonful in
a little water, and repeat until symptoms cease.
He adds: 1T is doubtful whether the final sta
tIstics will show that any substantial progress
has been made in treating the most malig
nant forms of the disease, or that the pro-
portion of deaths to cases has been reduced
much per cent by all the experience of
these two sombre years The one effective
treatment for Asiatic cholera is to avoid it."
Mr.. Mason who has bravely remained at his
post through two epidemics, is highly com
mended for his intelligent reports by the State

The Tariff Will Be Let Alone, but Interstate
Commerce Will Be Largely Discussed.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WAsHINaToN Oct 18.--"It is not altogether
mprobable-indeed, I think it likely-that
there will be no agitation of the tariff question
to amount to anything in this Congress-" said an
Eastern member this morning. "There could
be nothing accomplished" continued he, 'if we
tried and so much valuable time would be
wasted that don't believe it will be begun.
Then, there are many more important matters
to come up affecting finance and commerce, SO
that every moment of our time will be occupied.
This seems to be the feeling among all the mem
bers l have talked to-"
do you think interstate commerce will be
talked of much?" / asked
"a very great DEAL" was the prompt reply.
ut is an important matter to every one-muck
more important than tariff revision-and some
kind of a bill on the subject will be passed
Then great deal of time will be consumed by
finance. The railroad land grants will occupy
much time; likewise, the bankrupt bill; the bills
eQualizing soldiers bounty, and pensioning all
Union soldiers; the bill to enlarge our shipping
interests-hundreds Of these measures. all going
right to the people, will demand attention. The
great trouble has been with Congress it has
given up nearly all its time to few measures,
and when its term expired the calendars were
loaded with needed legislation"

Attempt to Assassinate a minister.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Oct. 18-At 1890 o'clock
TO night, unknown parties attempted to assassin
ate rev H. n. Counte, prominent coored
Baptist minister He was returning from
church, where he had held services. and on pass
ing the corner of De Soto and Webster streets
in the extreme southern limits of tho city. he
was fred upon. There were about twenty of
his congregation in the crowd. and the contents
of shotgun, loaded with buckshot, caused con.
siderable havoc. Two bullets struck Counte. one
in the head and the other passing through his
chin, intiicting painful but not dangerous
wounds. s. l.. Counte, brother of the minis
ter, was shot in the back, and also through the
chin. His wounds more dangerous. Ellen
Wright, colored woman who was also in the
crowd. received shot in the hip. The assassin
fed after firing. but threw away his gun. which
was found by the police. This is the second
attempt that has been made to kill the colored
minister. He thinks that his would be assassns

ANOTHER POLAR EXPEDITION.
Engineer Melville Preparing Another Sacri-
flee to Science-A Talk with SchWatka.
CLOTHING STORE.

New YORK. Oct lit has been rumored for
some time that Lieutenant Schwatka and En-
gneer Melville were about to undertake another
expedition to discover the open polar sea- Lieu
tenant Schwatka, who arrived here to day, says
that so far as he himself is concerned, the rumor
s without foundation.
''How about Engineer Melvi!le9" was asked.
Engineer Melville" he replied, ''is believe.
contemplating forming expedition for the
purpose of further explorations. How far his
plans have progressed cannot say. 1t will re-
quire great deal of money. He asks for from
800, 900 to $780, 900, believe, from his patrons,
and think that is too large sum to be raised
for such purpose Besides there can be no
material gain in discovering the north pole un
less you can find the south pole as well, and our
ships have been nowhere as near the latter as
the former"
What are Engineer Melvilles plans7"
''Etis object is purely pole seeking 1t is quite
natural that after having been a subordinate
officer in one expedition that failed he should
want to be commander of one expected to be
successful. His idea is to proceed to Franz
Josef's Land by vessel, and beyond that point by
means of sledges."
Would not such an expedition be quite dan
gerous2
''Yes. even to reach Franz Josef's Land Only
two vessels ever got there and got away from it
safely, and two reached it only to be stuck fast
and abandoned"
do you disapprove entirely of further polar
expeditionsP
by no means, It is an unfortunate idea that
the public has that all expeditions to the arctic
regions are pole seeking. This is not the case
There are anumber Of expeditions now proposed
One of these is the establishment of magnetic
north pole. 1t would be splendid achievement.

ANXIOUS TO SEE THE PRESIDENT
Visitors to the Capital Who Clamor for a Look
at Mr.. Cleveland.


Special to the indianapolis Journas.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.-A great deal of curios-
ity has always been shown by the people who
visit Washington to see the President, but I am
told by old employees at the White House that
the clamor to see Mr.. Cleveland has been and is
now greater than any other President, unless it
was General Grant During the first term Of
the latter, it is said. people actually came hun
dreds of miles simply to see him. No curiosity
was shown in seeing the Father of His Country
or any of his first half-dozen successors, but
there was less seclusiveness and imperiousness
about them than the Presidents of this time
1t is not to be wondered that President Cleve-
land should excite the curiosity of the visitors,
because he has figured so conspicuously before
the country, and the people have and heard
so little of and about him. The Presidents
public receptions in the afternoons of three days
in the week are therefore largely attended. and
are very popular There is generally a look of
awe upon the face of the stranger as he ap-
proaches the President to shake his hand, but
it disappears and congeniality takes its place
when the hand is grasped. There is nothing to
appall the visitor, nothing to mako him tremble.
Immediately he realizes that he is but greeting
such an one, socially, as he meets daily, and at
once there is a well-spring of familiarity.
Indeed, it is complained that there
is too much familiarity and that something
must be done to check it. Some people try to
engage the President in conversation, and have
to be given cold shoulder before they can bs
disposed Of
As a general thing these public receptions are
very ORDERLY and none but ladies and gentlemen
are received by the President but occasionally
some characters find their way into the White
House on reception days who are not desired,
and yet who cannot be well excluded when the
masses are admitted. This fact has assumed
proportions of sufficient Importance to suggest
that the public be received less frequently. The
cranks and Objectionable characters are being
excluded now as far as possible, however
