ease Is pre- vailiug there to such an extent
that the farmers are becoming much
alarmed, seventy-fivs horses having died
in ore neighborhood in Wilson county.
The people first thought il due to rotten
corn. but one instance is reported in
which a colt that had never eaten corn
died of the complaint.

RETURN OF M'G!NTi.
WHAT OUR FELLOW CITIZEN FOUND
DOWN At THE BOTTOM.

Some Political Observations by = Two
Eyed Citiy~n-Rcportel by +. J. Wheel
or for tho Ben.st Of Those Who Ara
Afflicted with Partial Blindness.
tMcGin.y tn. famous, having returned from tho
bottom, not Of the ssa, AZ Is generally supposed,
but Of the ecsspool Of politics, herein renders q
true account Of what Is down there.
The fault lies with our eye doctors.
That millions Of voters should have
been allowed. with few exceptions, to
go blind in one eye is terrible reproach
to the oculists.
Yet this isa fact. Whenever it comes
to an examination of the cesspool Of pol
itics every Republican has one far
sighted, wide open eye for the corruption
on the Democratic side Of the pool, and
every Democrat has keen vision in one
eye for the iniquities on the Republican
side. But each has one blind eye that
never secs tie rottenness on his own
side Of the pool.
Great pains IL taken in every cam
paign, by each side, to keep the far
sighted eye wide open. What is needed
il to get the blind eye open.
Mc(iinty is positive that the cesspoOl
is rank on both sides. 1t is one cesspool,
and the chief source of corruption 10 the
same for it all--tllat is to say, the bung-
hole, or rather two bunghOles-0ne in
the whisky barrel, the other in the beer
keg. -
McGinty says that until a dead vet IL
made at these bunghcles aud those who
control them all the municipal leagues
and reform clubs of creation may skim
the scum off the cesspOol until the crack
Of doom without making it wholesome.
That is what McGinty says. He ought
to know. for he has been to the bottom
of the thing.
Look at it, he third of the
Republican primaries and two-thirds of
the Democratic : imaries in New York,
and nearly the sai ~ proportion in Brook
Ign, held, by actual count, in saloons!
Look at it, says he; twelve Of the Re-
publican clubs in New York city in the
last presidential, ca npaign were named
after liquor t.!t.s, and supported anG
controlled by til, n! And it WAS the
New York vote that decided the presi-
Dental election!
People talk about Talnmany, says he.
What il Tammany but an organization
Of saloon keepers and their dummies!
Out of the general committee Of 1000
members nearly 100 are liquor dealers.
You might blow up Tammany Hall ~
high Us He'll Gats. and with the saloons
left we would have . new Tammany ~
bad as the old. People thought it WAS
Tweed who maze Tammany 10 power
full. Tweed went to the penitentiary,
and then they thought it was Kelly.
Kelly died, and low they think it Ia ell
due to Croker. Grant, Gilroy and Cock
ran. But pshaw the big four might die
tomorrow from softening of the con-
science, and tle saloons would keep
Tsmmany just where it il now. The
only way to heat Tsmmany Hall at
present Is to get up another organization
with more saloon keepers in 1t than Tam
many has-and then it will be just -
wicked - Tsmnsny.

VICTIMS OF DISEASE,

Death of Two Children at Belt-Miss Katie

The TRIBUNE chronicled the death of

cord Monday is much larger. In nearly
every case la grippe is the indirect cause
Of death: The latest victims are ,..,.

ing. The funeral took place today. The
deceased was daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
James Gibbs, of Sun river valley, and
was held in high esteem by wide circle
of friends. She had been sick about
three weeks.
Queenie Haskshaw, the nine-months-
old daughter of Mrs. Hackshaw, of Belt,
died of something like diphtheria on Sat.
urday, and was buried yesterday.
Rhoda s. Epperson, aged nine years
and 10 days, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Epperson, of Belt, died on Saturday.
She had been sick since December rs.
The remains were inferred yesterday.
W. E. Lowe, a brother of Mr.. Lowe,
manager of the Western Union office here
died at the hospital, Saturday. Mr.. Lowe
had been night operator at Big Sandy for
passenger train on the Great Northern
when taken sick. He took a severe cold
which developed into pneumonia. Al
though he received every attention that
his brother and skilled physicians could
glve-nothing could be done to stop the
disease, and he died about - p. III. Satur-
day. Mr.. Lowe came form Shannon,
Ohio, where his parents are now living.
He was a young man, barely 21, and gave
promise of brilliant future. He was
steady, sober and reliable and had the ut
most confidence of all his acquaintances.
The Great Northern railroad offered free
transportation and his brother intended
to take the remains to Ohio for interment,
but on consulting the physicians they
deemed it inadvisable and the body was
laid to rest in Highland cemetery. The
funeral occurred at 2p. m. today, Rev. j.
Reid of the Presbyterian church ofticia-
ting. Manager Lowe has the heartfelt
| sympathy of the entire community and
his parents in far away Ohio may rest
assured that their sons ashes were laid
tenderly to rest, while sympathising tears
were shed for this promising man thus
cut off so early in his career.
Ed. Glover, who has been driving one
of Wilbur's teams, died of pneumonia,
yesterday, at 2 p. III. at the hospital Mr..
Glover had been in the city only short
time He was member of the M. E.
church and created good impression
with all who met him.
OF the seven deaths which haye occur
red since last Friday, four were in the
city, two at Belt, 23 miles southeast and
one in Sun river valley. Only three of
the cases were in any degree the result of
Ia grippe, and there is much uncertainty
in regard to one of these. Although this
is an unprecedented death rate, there is
no serious grounds for alarm. The physic,
lans all report that the majority of theil
cases are convalescent and unless some
persons recklessly expose themselves
the general health will soon be restored

Cleveland Abused.

CHICAGO, Jan. 13.-The Herald's Den
yer special says: The speech cf Carter
Harrison at the Graystone Club banquet
came in for a great deal of adverse crit-
cism. His condemnation of Cleveland
was indorsed by some of those present,
but the anti, tariff reform sentiments he
uttered find no favor among democrats.
The orators questionable taste in so &c.
verely condemning the ex-president is
another thing which causes unfavorable
comment, but probably the Chicago
mans numerous and extended references
to himself have been most generally con
demned.
