THE "HARRIsON GRIP"
A Strange Disease ut Newburg
Thousand People Have II.

NEwBuRe, n. T., July 20.-A
strange malady, that appears to be
epidemic, is prevailing in this city.
Everybody here is talking about the
disease, and at the present time it is
estimated that 5000 Newburg people
have the Harrison grip" One ply
stefan has 20 cases, another Is, one
~, and others are run to death with
patients affected.
The premonitory symptoms of the
disease are lassitude, pains in the
side and back, alternating chils and
hot flashes, DC. Children principal
ly are affected, although when adults
are attacked the illness is much
more severe and prolonged, though
as yet no cases have proven fatal
No cause can be assigned for the
existence of the disease, although
many think it the result of the pro-
longed wet weather and the bad con
dition of the water in Washington
Lake, from which the water supply
of Newburg comes, The fear of the
physicians is that the malady may
assume more aggravat' d form later
in the season, and result in geneal
spread of typhoid malaria. The dis
ease has been variously termed pleu-
risy, muscular rheumatism and ma
laria, but the term "IIarrison grip"
has now ''caught on and is in gen
eral use
A similar epidemic in this part of
the State in 1912, during the term Of
office of President Tyler, and it was
then called the Tyler grip A
large number of cases have occurred
where people were stricken wit .his
peculiar disease in the street, reeling
and falling before assistance could
he rendered. and then were power
less to walk to their homes. So far
as ascertained no other town along
the Hudson river is similarly afllic-
ted.

For many years the Government
of the United State has been engag-
ed in an effort to stamp from our
soil the evil of Mormonism, and has
spent great deal of money for that
purpose.
1t may be that some good has
been accomplished, but how can we
expect to rid ourselves of the curse
so long as Mormon missionaries
abroad are permitted to send annual
ly hundreds and thousands of re-
cruits for the church drawn from
the lowest and most ignorant classes
of Europe?
Already this season more than one
large party of immigrants of Nor
mondom has been landed at New
York, and more are sure to follow.
But for this steady infusion of new
blood the ''twin relic of barbarism"
might have been abolished long ago.
Until it is cut off it is useless to try
to strangle the whited sepulchre, the
so-called Church of God of Latter
Day Saints.
Congress cannot afford to longer
ignore this question and the correla-
ted one, the restriction of immigra
ton generally. These matters are
of as great Importance as bearing
upon the future prosperity of our
country, as any others already pend
ing or likely to arise. One bill could
be made to serve both purposes, and
we hope some Representative will
have the courage to introduce and
press such a measure to a vote at
the approaching session.-Ea

Carnegie is man who has be-
come very wealthy as large owner
of mills for the shaping of iron and
steel. By birth Scotchman, but
by adoption an American citizen, be-
ginning life poor, he has become a
millionaire by the operation of our
protective tariff, and is now able to
enjoy his leisure by exploiting his
success to his former countrymen
while taking his rest in the castle he
has bought in the Highlands of
Scotland. Such vanities may be
pardonable in man who has been
the architect of his own fortune, but
it is far from being so pardonable
that he should have been one of the
most prominent among the protected
manufacturers during the last cam
paign to proclaim the theory that
only by the election of high tariff
candidate for President could the
workmen expect steady employment
and good wages. 1t was theory
that was worked for all that it was
worth, and it unquestionably Undue
ed many thousands of workingmen,
and not few of them democrats, to
vote the republican ticket. Now
that the theory has served its pur-
pose, and the high tariff party has
obtained control of the government,
Mr.. Carnegie and his associates do
not hesitate to violate their creed in
practice. They no longer affirm that
the tariff maintains the American
scale of wages at high figures. They
take the contrary ground that the
rate of wages is to be regulated not
ny the workingmen, but by the en-
ployer, and that in regard to the iron
and steel Industries it is for the cor
poration and not the Amalgamated
Association Of Iron and steel Work
ers to decide upon what wages shall
be paid. This is now the theory of
protectionists generally, reversing
that enunciated during the campaign
and the Carnegie corporation is act
ing upon it.-BoIIimore Sun.

That Cantankerous Old Woman.

Described in the nursery ballad, who
''lived upon nothing but vituals and
drink" and yet would never be
quiet" was undoubtedly troubled
with chronic indigestion. Her vie
tuals, like those of many other elder
ly persons whose digestive powers
have become impaired, didn't agree
with her. This was before the era
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, or
some one of her numerous friends
and relatives would undoubtedly
have persuaded her to try the great
specific for dyspepsia, constipation
and billiousness. This would have
been a measure of self-protection on
their part, for she would soon have
been cured and ceased TO disturb
them with her clamor. The most
obstinate cases of indigestion, with
its attendant heartburn, 6atulence,
constant uneasiness of the stomach
and Of the nerves, are completely
overcome by this sovereign remedy.
Chills and fever and bilious remit
tent, rheumatism and kidney trou-
bles are also relieved by it.

Dakota are combining with the
Democrats to defeat the Republican
machine which has been controlling
politics in that Territory. The Re

worried about it.

Connecticut will be the nsxt State
to vote on prohibition. An amend
ment to the constitution will be vo-
ted on in October, and its defeat
is regarded as foregone conclusion.
The press of the State is almost
unanimously against it, and it is fair
to presume that the press repre-
sents the popular feeling.

The raseality and corruptness of
Corporal Tanner is greater than any
thing ever allowed by previous adj
ministration He is known to have
played into his own hand by wire
working such attorneys on pension
cases as would pay him handsomely
and other things equally as rascally.
To the pleas of many prominent Re-
publicans who see future defeat by
his course, to have him removed,
Harrison turns deaf ear. Benia-
min, too, certainly can't be sharing
the spoils?
Some of our republican exchanges
have just made the discovery that
the contest will be very expensive
affair and they deplore it bitterly.
That is all very true, but the con-
test need never have been, but for
republican frauds such as voting
many hundreds of Virginia negroes
who did not pretend to be residents
Of this State and who could not be
found after election day. Yes, the
expense will be great and our re-
publican friends should not have
precipitated the contest as they did.
All the X-sheriffs and other small
politicians in the Dakotas, Montana
and Washington have the Congress
sional bee in their bonnets. To
read some of the'reports one would
think that the women and children,
too, want to represent their states in
the National House. The fight in the
coming elections will be of the liveli-
est kind and most prominent men
are not spoken Of any more than
those who are not, as everybody
seems to want to go to Congress.
There should be considerable wis
dom in the selections, as it is to be
the first time they are to be repre-
sented as States, but it don't look as
if there would be. Big guns of both
parties are going to stump the new
sections.

In Kanawha county, where the
Republicans have been running
things with high hand in recent
years, the county levy has been laid
at 65 cents, the highest that ever
prevailed, and as high as it can be
fixed under the Constitution. The
Charleson Gazette says "a few years
more of the present character of f.
nanciering, and Kanawha will be a
good county to get away from"
Already the Republican politicians
are beginning to show signs of great
alarm, fearing that Grover Cleveland
will be renominated by the Demo
Gratis for the Presidency in '92. 1t
took more rascality, and cost more
Doodle to defeat Grover Cleveland
in 'SS than the Republicans feel
competent to muster again, besides
Cleveland has grown in popularity
by comparison of his administra-
ton, with that of President Harri-
sons.

The following fable told by an

man went out hunting. While be
was out there came up big rain
and he sought shelter in a hollow
log. The log soon became soaked
with water and swelled until the
aperture was too small for the man
to get out again. There be was in a
dilemma. He quickly reviewed his
past life, and when he came to re-
member that he was not subscriber
for his county paper he felt so small
that he crawled out of the log with.
out any trouble. !"
