An Iowa InCinor0tlon,

DUBUQUE, Iowa, Iowa, Oct. 5.-One Of
the most terrible accidents ever known
in Dubuque occurred this morning.
The residence of the ex-P0liceman
John McBee was discovered on fire. A
neighbor ran across and tried to arouse
the family. While knocking at the
door the window in the upper story
crashed and McBee fell to the ground.
For few moments he was senseless.
When he recovered he began crying
that his family was upstairs. The
flames were quickly extinguished, and
and the firemen entered. At the top of
the landing the mother and three chill
dren were found and quickly removed.
Mrs. McBee and the oldest daughter
Rosa, aged eighteen, were dead. The
youngest daughter Bertha, aged six
teen years, and Charley, five years old,
were still alive. The boy died this

FEMALES IN POLITICS.

In an interview With New York re-
porter Mrs. +. C. Platt, wife OF the distin-
euished leader in Empire State politics. the
former colleague OF Roscoe Conkling in the
Senate. expressed the opinion that Ameri
can women. society leaders, do not take the
interest in politics that Is manifested by
English and Russian ladies' of the same
class. OF . few ladies noted in Washing
ton circles she made these piquant state
ments: Mrs. Harrison is domestic, de-
voted to her husband, and interested only
in those matters which claim his atten-
tion." Mrs. Mckee is sweet, pretty
little woman, wrapped up in her beautiful
babies. . Mrs. Cleveland went directly
from college to the capital. and would
hardly be expected to know much about
affairs Of government" MRS. Logan is
familiar with public affairs. but confines
her attention to the interests Of the army
and navy" Mrs. Blaine is the most
gifted Of any lady in Washington. She has
great intellectual strength. calm judgment
and intense pride. Her mind is masculine
In It's grasp She is brilliant in converse
tion and . great help to her husband. She
Is the most brilliant, intellectually, of all
the ladies connected with the administra-
ton. but socially Mrs. Morton is. who has

There are many who doubt that Mrs.
Cleveland is the novice that Mrs. Plat
seems TO consider her. And it is noto-
rious that Mrs. Hancock was far superior
to the General in social and political
strategy.
In fact. the world at large has but faint
conception Of the extent to which Amer
lean public men have been and are in-
debted to the adroit assistance of their
wives and other female relatives for their
political advancement and success. Amer
lean women, it is believed. are not less
versed or less astute in politics than are
those Of England and Russia. but they are
less apt to parade their knowledge and
activity. They are capable of advising and
assisting their male relatives or friends,

SO quietly is more helpful than to make a
grand flourish. Which is the shrewder

LAKE UNION.

The city council has wisely resolved
to pause and consider before making
q cess-pool of Lake Union. The storm
OF protest which has been raised
against the colossal folly which was pro-
posed has had Its effect, and it is now
scarcely probable that the city will extend
an invitation to malaria and pesiilence to
take up their residence within It's borders.
In the past Lake Union has been an
ornament and an advantage to the city. 1t
may be still more an ornament and
stu more an advantage in the
future. In order that it may be so it will
only be necessary to exercise ordinary pru-
dence and ordinary common sense.
On the other hand, however, it may be-
come foul pool, blot upon the city. =
constant menace to the health OF the COM
munity. 1t will be both simple and easy to
give to the now beautiful lake this baleful
character. All that will be necessary will
be to turn portion of the city sewerage
into it and thus to render foul and corrupt
its now pure waters.
1t is not possible that the people of
Seattle are willing to have this thing done.
The members of the council should con-
slider long and earnestly before taking the
final step.

TROUBLED SOUTH AMERICA.

The recent bloody upheavai In the Ar
gentine Republic emphasizes anew the in
stability of republican governmental South
America, and. indeed, in the entire Span
ish-speaking world. There seems to be
something in the Spanish character abso-
lutely incompatible with the peaceable ac-
quiescence of the minority in the viii Of
the majority. The world has not yet seen
q stable and lasting Spanish republic.
In recent wears two of the South Ameri-
can republics have been locked upon as
peaceabIe and free from the turbulence
which so frequently threatened to topple
over the governments of their neighbors.
One of these was the Argentine Republic.
This country had enjoyed an unusually
long period of peace and quiet It's
people were active and energetic
Its government was sufficiently strong
to command respect and was welded to a
policy of internal improvement which
promised to develop the country at rapid
rate. Immigrants poured into the country
in large numbers. and it was regarded as
an inviting field for the investment of
American and European capital. 1t was
looked upon as the quiet country of South
America. The events of last week, how
ever. have put an end to these fattering
ideas. The long repressed turbulence of
the people burst forth unexpectedly. amaz-
ingly. and the streets of the largest city of
South America were drenched with the
blood of its citizens 1t is safe to say that
the Argentine Republic will not hereafter
be regarded as so inviting q field for the
investment of capital.
The other country of South America
which has been looked upon as reasonably
quiet is Chill. Since the close of the Peru
Wan war the government of that country
has been strong and respected. The people
have been prosperous. The country has
made such rapid strides in wealth and ma
terial development that its inhabitants
have come TO look upon the neighboring
republics with feeling akin 10 disdain and
to speak proudly OF Chill as 1.-THE England
of South America" Even in this prosper
Gus country, however. the usual dissatis-
faction with the things that be is beginning
to reappear. Recent advices from Santiago
