TEE Tribune abuses Mr.. Cleveland
because he pointed out in his late inter
view with Mr.. Mumford, of the Kansas
City Times, the fact that the country has
been in condition OF distress the past
year. The Tribune does not deny this
assertion, but meets it with the declsra-
ton that affairs were in the same condi-
ton for three years before that. This is
a "devilish sly" dig at Cleveland, for was
he not the President during those three
years, and why did he not make times
better? Well, the answer to this shallow
reasoning is simply this. The war tariff
has hung like milestone around the neck
of the country for, lo these many years.
1t has produced general distress amongst
! the farmers, amongst the operatives in
mines and factories, amongst mechanics
and laborers everywhere. 1t has been
the source of lockouts, Of strikes, of half.
time, of the scaling down of wages, Of
oppression, penury and want. Mr..
| Cleveland's administration tried to
strike at the cause of all this distress by
modifying the war tariff and reforming
it on a peace basis. The Republicans,
however, were satisfied with the con.
dition of the country as it was, defeated
the reform tariff and elected war tariff
President. OF course the distress con-
tinues, not, however, with Mr.. Cleve'
lands consent or connivance.

The Surprises OF Poker.

At a leading hotel last week six promi-
nent gentleman sat down to q friendly
game of poker. The ante was fifty cents,
with $5 limit In the party were a
well-known doctor, cigar dealer and a
wholesale liquor merchant. The gentle
man to the right of the doctor opened a
Jackpot which had passed several, times
aud which contained $50. The M. D.
soeezed down his hand and found three
mines pat and trailed along. The third
man came in aud the fourth-who was
the cigar dealer-raised the opener,
with aces and kings. The fifth player
raised again with three queens. The
sixth man and the opener went
to the deck. 1t was now the Doctors
chance, and he raised again. The cigar
dealer came to the front, and another
raise came from the liquor dealer, who
held the three queens, and who was
again raised by the doctor. Both men
stood the last raise and cards were
drawn. The doctor and the man with
aces took one, and the man with three
queens drew two cards. Betting now
went fast and furious. Nothing could
be heard but the click of the chips, and
the excitement rose to fever heat when
over $500 was in the pot. The doctor
was the first to call. When the hands
were exposed it was found that the doc.
tor had four mines, the cigar dealer an
ace full on kings and the liquor dealer
four queens.-lCincinnati Enquirer.

The Bacillus of La Grippe.

Two young. doctors belonging to the
medical faculty of Vienna have dis
covered the microbe which causes in
fluenza-Drs. Macmillan and Adolph
Jolles. The dispatch announcing the
discovery created considerable talk
amongst the scientists and intercollegiate
of Paris. DR.. Pasteur was interviewed
on the subject of the announced discov-
cry, and whilst he does not doubt that
the young Vienna doctors have actually
seen through microscopes the microbe
of influenza, he wants the proofs, and
wants to know whether they have
succeeded in producing influenza
in animals by inoculating them with the
human virus. With that ghastly dry
ness which utjeots everything to the
interest of science, DR.. Pasteur says that
it seems strange that if these young men
have really cultivated the influenza
microbe, they have not verified its char
acter by the incubation of themselves or
some of their friends with it. The great
eavsnt then goes on to criticise the dis
covery in the light of its uselessness to
those who are suffering from influenza
unless it can bring cure to them. He
says:
"Even supposing that the young doc
tors have discovered the genuine infu-
enza bacillus, they have achieved moth
ing of any great moment. Everybody

A Party of Twelve Families Coming

The good work accomplished by Cali
fornia on Wheels is we'll illustrated by
the following statement from the San
Francisco Bulletin:
A visitor to California on Wheels,
while it was at Poplar Bluff on January
14th, writes to the board stating that
there are twelve families who are anxious
to come to California to locate in Los
Angeles. In his letter he asks what the
fare would be to the lsst.named place.
The officials of the board will ascertain
the rate and send the same on 40 soon as
possible. He saws: 81 visited California; g

A GENTLEMAN who is liberal and
enthusiastic patron of music and the
drama said TO us yesterday: "I did moi
subscribe to seats to the Patti season be-
cause 1 would have been required to pay
$1S for the three performances, not to
hear Patti three times, but once, and
that. too, without being informed at
which of the three she would sing, and
in which of the three announced operas
she would appear. I did not care to pay
sl2 to hear Albani and Tamagno. l did
not consider them worth it, and il
could only hear Patti once and
them twice for $1S, did not feel that
was called upon to subscribe" The
reasoning of our friend was correct, and
doubtless it was the way in which great
proportion of our liberal supporters OF
music received the case. If Patti could
not sing three times at the rate of $6 q
time, our people did not feel called upon
to pay three Patti prices for one Patti per-
formance. The failure of the Patti season
to materializs here is the fault oil. her
managers and not the fault of the people
of Los Angeles.
