THE HOG CHOLERA.
OVER A HUNDRED ANIMALS HAVE DIED IN
THIS COUNTY.
Detailed Report Made 70 tas Board Of Commission
srs-Imp9rtan! Business Transacted
Yesterday.

The Board OF Commissioners, ycster'
terday afternoon, after disposing of the
railroad matter, took up very impor-
tant communication from DR.. Petrie,
who has had charge of the hog cholera
in this county, setting forth the situa-
ton. The paper was as follows:
~ ask your attention 10 report of the
present state of hog cholera in this county.
The outbreak at West Liberty is ut pres
ent entirely under control. No new cases
have been presented recently; however, a
close watch and great caution should be
observed. Through the kindness of Col.
w. B. Curtis am enabled TO give very
accurate estimate of the number of hogs
lost and the value of the same.
"At Hiram Shilling's place, at Elm
Grove, they followed directions TO the let
ter and succeeded in saving all that there
was any hope for.
AT the Lewis Baker place the direc-
tions were not 50 well followed, and with
in week five hogs have been removed by
George McMcchen. the owner. Where
they have been taken ! am unable 10 say.
There are still on the place several hogs
that are afflicted with cholera and running
at large.
"Mr. John Clemmens unfortunately lost
nearly all OF his hogs. They were in
very bad condition when my attention was
called to them.
'Mr. Fritz Brittox also lost heavily, but
is now in shape TO stop the disease.
Through the efforts that have been
made we have succeeded in stopping the
spread of the disease from any of the places
where il was first found.
"The number and value of the hogs lost
in tie county from cholera, within the last
four months. are as follows

NOT MUCH OF A HILL.

The measure OF Governor Hill of New
York is rapidly being taken. There was an
impression at one time that he would be a
dangerous rival for Cleveland for the Dem
octatic nomination for President This
grew out of the fact that Mr.. Hill had come
into notice under conditions which did not
seriously test his ability. He was Lieuten-
ant-Governor Of New York under Cleye-
land, and when the latter resigned Hill be-
came Governor. About the next that was
heard Of him was his election as Governor
in 1888, when the Democratic national ticket
was beaten in that State. 1t appeared later
that Mr.. Hill had formed alliances which
promoted the success of the State ticket at
the expense Of the national ticket. He was
charged with having KNITTED" Mr.. Cleye-
land, b1t the general opinion is that he
simply looked out for the State ticket and let
the national ticket look out for itself.
Some months ago Mr.. Hill and his news
paper organ, the New York Sun, began a
crusade against the national census. The
more ignorant people who do not realize the
value of statistics got the idea from the Stnl
and other Democratic newspapers that the
Government was about to make an mperti-
nent inquiry into their family and personal
affairs. Without doubt this prejudice made
the work of taking the census more difficult
and the results less accurate. When returns
came hue and cry was raised that the cen
sLs was a political job. The Democratic
localities had been Systematically dWarfed
and Republican localities exaggerated. Gov
ernor Hill repeated these insinuations in
public speeches, and reiterated them in a
request or demand that the census of New
York City he taken again. The reply of
Secretary Noble shows Governor Hill in
his true character of an irresponsible ac-
cuser, repeating charges without proof of
their truth, and apparently without caring
whether or not they were true, if he
could make point against the Census Of
fee by urging them. Secretary Noble in
forms him that the Democratic States of the
South have made no complaints, but that the
Republican State of Oregon had made such
complaint. a representation from the City
of Columbus, Ga, that the census was in
correct, was answered by recount, W hlch
showed an increase of only 1l75. which
might easily be accounted for the ordinary
fluctuations of populations in towns of con-
siderable size. After showing how little
foundation there is for Governor Hills in
situations of fraudulent purpose, Secretary
Noble retires Mr.. Hill to private life in the
following seorehing sentences: 81 regret
the necessity of addressing the Chief Magis-
trate OF the leading State of the Union in the
terms have employed, but l find my juSti-
fcation in the reckless intemper ance OF the
language you have seen fit to use-language
that is lacking as much in truth as in the
dignity BETTING your great office, which in
the past has been filled by eminent men Of
both the political parties'of New York"
Probably no public man in America has
so exposed himself to rebuke as Mr.. Hill,
and been so promptly punished according to
his deserts

-----
IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

There is a kind of political revolution
going on in South Carolina which has little
or nothing TO do with parties as -ganized in
the North. 1t is not exactly an attempt to
solve the race problem, but the solution of
that problem may found in the movement.
Certain Democrats, under the leadership of
Mr Haskell, have appealed to the voters of
the State without regard to party or race to
defeat candidates who have been generally
accepted as Irregular" Democratic candi.
dates. The significance of this movement
is that Democrats of high social and politi-
cal standing invite the cooperation of the
colored race in an effort to keep the control
of affairs from falling into unfit hands. The
ruling Democratic party has been and is
kind OF close corporation. 1t gained power
by suppressing the colored vote and has
maintained its aseendency by suppressing
opposition from whatever source it might
spring Its pretext or excuse for despotie
action has been that IL the whites did not
stand by each other the negroes would as
sert the supremacy of numbers. IL could
hardly be otherwise than that rule based
upon an admission that the~hite man was
only superior TO the black man while the lat
ter was in chains would soon be questioned
Mr.. Haskell and his associates now question
it. They invite the black man to vote with
them, promising. of course. that his vots
shall be cast and counted. Under this dis
peusation 1t will not be the white man
against the black, but white men opposing
each other with colored allies ON both sides.
Mr.. Haskell does not propose black SUI
premacy; he proposes to lead the colored
people, at least until such time as they NAV
be able to lead themselves. The natural
way to deal with the blacks in the sn-called
black district. it is urged is to let intelIi-
gence, education. experience and wealth
have their natural influence. These con-
ditions would give a white minority as
tendency over white majority, and there
is no apparent reason why like results
should not follow when the majority is of
another race and color. The intelligent
black man can act for himself, and the igno-
rant black man will by an instinct of nature
attach himself TO men who can protect him
and lead him in the path of self-improye-
ment. An absolutely essential condition to
the permanent success of the Haskell move
ment is that the leaders keep faith with
their black followers.

BOYS AND GIRLS.

A Boston school-teacher named Water
house has attracted some attention by
vehement attack upon the coeducatpn Oh
the sexes. The immediate cause OF the
school-teacher's outbreak is proposition
that the Girls and Boys High Schools shall
be made one. Mr.. Waterh0use offers his
own experience as an argument against the
association together of boys and girls. In
one school Of which he had charge there was
ar elopement and marriage. 1t appears, from
the report that has reached us, that MIR.
Waterhouse had expelled the girl for the
offense of being pTettler than the average.
The School Committee did not think beauty
n heinous offense and renStated her. Not
long after the girls reinstatement she eoped
with one OF her boy admirers, and the two
were clandestinely married. Mr.. Water
house says naively that, she more than full
filled his anticipati0nS by the act OF elope-
ment and marriage. 1t does not seem that
Mr.. WaterhOuse has made out strong case.
Worse results have been recorded In schools
TO which but one sex was admitted IL Is
not possible to SO fence girls school III
that one Of the pupils may not elope II she
wants to. The underlying idea in this case
is that upon which the difference between
the treatment of girls in the United states
and in Europe. American girls are allowed
TO associate with the opposite sex and taught
to take care of themselves. The testimony
of Europeans is that American girls abroad,
who have enjoyed a freedom unknown to
European girls, are thoroughly able to make
themselves respected In this country, II a
girl does not associate with boys at school
she will out Of school. While there are oc-
casional unpleasant results attending this
association of the sexes, experience cannot
be said to be against it. If society and the
people composing it were perfect there
would be nothing 10 strive for.

How Politics Can Give Speed to Steam
Fire Engine.
A false alarm was turned in from Box "A
at $40 o'clock last evening. The most dis
tinguishing feature of the call was the wild
drive of Thomas Norton OF Engine No. 3,
who had evidently been INDUCING in politics
during the day.
When the alarm came in he managed to
get on his seat with outside assistance, and
then the splendid team and engine belong
ing to the city were in jeopardy. He man
aged to swing them into Powell street from
California, and they went down that thor
Oughfare on run.
They continued to run for six blocks, until
the absolute weight of the engine tireu them
out and they stopped of their own accord.
Norton then turned the team about and
stopped them at Clay and Powell, where he
remained until District Engineer John Nc
Carthy came up and ordered him to take his
team in.
Norton, who was at first thought to have
done brave act in saving his team. was
questioned by reporters as hero. They
were repuSed in the vilest language and
were compelled to retreat. The lives of the
engineer and stoker were also jeopardized in
the run, as well as the horses. No other
cause could be given save that it was cleo

THE JoHNsaowN FUND.

A wet blanket has fallen on the charita-
BILE instincts of the benevolent in the shape
OF a report on the distribution of the MONEYS
subscribed for the relief of the sufferers by
the disaster at Johnstown, Pa. 1t will be
remembered that OIL May 81, 1889, the burst
ing of a dam deluGed the valley in which
Johnstown stood, drowned out the city, de-
stroyed 5000 lives and plunged prosperous
locality into the depths of misery. To re-
lieye the distress caused by the accident
appeals were made far and wide, and sum
which, in the aggregate. amounted to S4,-
211 ,039 was subscribed, of which S93, 142 was
contributed by this State.
It is now alleged that of this sum only
So, 225, s57 rea .hed the sufferers by the dis
aster, the balance having been diverted to
othe- uses. Ii is stated that S25O,0OO was
applied TO relieving distress in other parts
Of the State; that $4,000 was spent on
building new iron bridges for the improve
ment of the city; that $4,000 went for the
purchase Of new fire engines; that $50, 900
was laid out on a new cemetery; and that
other large sums were divided among con-
tractors and others; in all that nearly half
the money contributed by the benevolent
for the relief of the homeless, the naked
and the hungry was diverted from that OBJ
ject, and practically looted by the persons
who had it in charge. This is a very grave
arrangement. and calls for the fullest inves-
tgation and the most complete reply by
those who are implicated. II it remains I'M
answered it will have the effect of chilling
the kindly feelings of the people at large
the next time a disaster occurs.
1t often happens that benevolent funds
show credit balance when their purpose
has been accomplished. Jndicious almoners
husband their resources, so as to keep some
money on hand to relieve cases of distress
which are tardy in coming to light But
when every proper object of relief has been
relieved it is not right that any remaining
balance on hand should be used for pur-
