Reports have been received OF the
presence OF smallpox among the home

twelve miles from Lake Michigan, near
the boundary line of Chippewa and
Mackinac Counties, Mich. In fami-

is insane because OF it. Hehas escaped
and is roaming about the woods. No
doctors are near and no help can
reach the locality No official quar-
antine has been established, but the
settlers are fleeing. The postmaster
has barricaded the road and will let
no one come near the post-office. The
disease is supposed to have been
brought from Canada. A man lately
came from Montreal and stayed with
the Hannah family, not knowing what
the disease was. Hehimself recovered.

patentee Of a torpedo which Is used in
exploding the lower strata of rock in oil
wells, thus enabling the greasy fluid to
rise to the surface Out Of this patent

on this account, and also because a seat

he entered the lists as a candidate for
nomination before the conference OF his
district which is strongly Republican,
being composed Of the counties of Craw-
ford, Mercer and Butler. After Vainly
attempting for six weeks to unite upon
a candidate from among the three aspi-
rants, the conference referred the matter
to Thomas V. CoOper's State committee
for dnal adjustment. Cooper was short
Of campaign funds at the time and Rob-
erts was the very man who could furnish
them. The committee met at Philsdel-
phia and nominated Roberts, just as it
was believed all over the State it would
do. What consideration was paid for
the noLlination IS, of course. not known
to the public, but it is fair to infer that
il was a valuabls one. In the meantime

land, with the single exception of Indi-
ana, and 10y majOrities larger than were
given our candidate for President. New

Democratic majority; the Democratic
candidate for Governor in Connecticut
has an increased plurality, and New
Y oTk largely increased the Cleveland
majority, and foC a distinct Cleveland
candidate. We have in addition carried
Colorado and California a majority of
the Minnesota Congressional delegation,
and cut down Baine's AZ 600 majority in
the State to a matter of doubt whether
the Republicans have any majority on
Governor. We have reduced the Repub-
liCan majority in Massachusetts of 21,
600 last year TO beggaTly 1900, beside
gaining three Congressman, and have
relatively done better than this in New
Hampshire. IL Pennsylvania, over

British Rule In India.

The report published by Paris news

Northeastern India against British rule
In favor OF Russian invasion, NAV be
exaggerated, but there is undoubtedly q
deep-seated feeling in the Empire

at any moment to take the shape of open
hostility. Independent OF the agitation
among the Hindostanees of Brahminic
faith which has recently engaged the
attention of public men in England.

ALL honor TO the unterrified DemOc-
racy of the Third Pittsburg Legislative
district. 1t was the only green spot in

i5 the solitary Democrat among the four
teen members elected from Allegheny
county, although the county two years
ago polled nearly tt1enty thousand votes
for Cleveland. This one-sided result
has been brought about by the present
unhOly spportionment bill. The picture
is almost as black in Philadelphia coun-
ty, where, out of thirty eight members,
the Democrats elected only ten, although
the county gave Cleveland 4. 900 votes
to 10O,OO for Blaine. In the face OF
this Wholesale dissranchisement of Dem
ocratic voters In the two counties refer
red to, without mentioning some others,
is it any wonder that the Republicans
have a majority of 81 in the lower branch
Of the Legislsture2 The besetting sin
Of the Republican as well as of the Dem
ocratic party in every State in the Union
in which it has a majority in beth
branches of the Legislature, is that
when it acts upon an'spportionmens bill
for Congressional or State purposes, It
throws conscience to the ID, as Thad-
deus Stevens on a memorable occasion
advised protesting Republican mem
Der of the Legislature to do, tramples
upon the rights of the minority and ap-
propriates TO itself every unfair adYan-
tage that its numerical! power enables l.
to seize. The apportionment bill to be
passed next winter may possibly do
even-handed justice to the D, mocratic
minority in the State, but, judging from
the past, tie presumption is violently
against any such result.

WE are promised quite a number of
contested elect 0 cases for the Fitch
Congress, if the utterances Of defeated
candidates are a criterion. a skillful
politician can do we'll by cCntesting the
seat of his successful opponent, as the
case usually drags its slow length along
through the entire session, and il the
contestant does miss getting his seat, he
is awarded his expenses always a
handsome sum. Contested election
cases ought to be settled as speedily as
possible after the beginning Of the ses-
sion, if such a thing be possible. Nor
is it just that two salaries should be
paid, as is too often the case at present.
