"LA GEsrPs. !"

The Russian influenza is rapidly spreading through the United States, and has reached as far west as Arizona and Montana. Thus far in the East ern cities where the malady has att tackled large percentage Of the pop ulation, it is not so vlrulent type as in some portions of Europe, where the mortality has alarmingly increased, In and around Boston there are said to be % 900 persons afflicted. In New York 300 policemen are incapacitated by reason ofthe malady, and in all the Eastern, Middle and Southern States influenza is more or less prevalent.
 Should ''la grippe, m it's .peresrin. tionS, visit Globe, the inmates Of the post office and SILVER BELT office will likely he the first victims, as the mails are ready vehicle for its trasmissiou,
 Prof Bartholomew, of Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, says of the malady: Influenza comes quickly goes as quickly. The least robust. at any age, and women seem to be the first victims, It Is here question of bodily condition, not of the sex. The large numbers simultaneously attack ed attracts general attention, and those most impfesslonable are seized. the onset being facilitated by any de- pressing emotion like fear or illness. There Is no rigor, properly, to be thus degiSnated, but rather series of light chills and feeling of heat herewith. Sometimes malaiSe of a general klnd Is experienced, but like the attack it. self, is short in duration, lasting but a few hours.
 With the first access of the nasal and faucial irritation comes the chilli ness, which IS followed by some fever lshness, with more pronounced malaIse and, in general, the headache. weak. ness and soreness of the members, es. pectally ot the larger jolnts. With the progress of the case in some epi- demICS there Is considerable weakness, even marked depression of the vital powers. The pulse becomes small and weak, the mind gloomy, and restless ness ensueS. When a fatal termina- ton is to occur, aS rule, an exten- sion downward into the trachea and bronchl takes place.
 The rapidity with which tue disease superyenes---itS preliminary develop ment being hours, and it's whole dura- ton but matter of but three or four dayS-is remarkable. Relapses are common, usually each succeeding sci. zure being milder. but not few pass by easy transition into chronic bron. chitis, emphysema, asthma, etc.

Richard Smith, of the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette is the authority for the statement that the President indorses Secretary Windom s views oi the silver question. He IS sure that the President will at very early day recommend to Congress lhe plan Of buying all the silver bulhoa offered at the market rate and iSSuing thereon silver certificates. The Presldent be. lieves emphatically that the coinage oi silver dollars should cease, Tbere are only G0,000,000 of these dollars now in circulation, and as the coinage goes on the dollars are piled up in the Treas ury. IL takes some forcirg 10 keep the amount of big dollars low in cir. culaiion, The President, MT. Smith says, fully lndorsps the plan of issuing silver certificates which shall be a le- gal tender for all debts public and prlyate. Whether silver goes up or down, the Government will he respon- slble for the certificates, and there will be a place for all of the silver pro duced al its market valur

FREMONT,

ueneral John c. Fremont, once Governor of Arizona, has been placed on ths retired list, As a civil and military officer he Is rated as small potato. His wife, nee Jessie Benton, whom he secretly married in lS4l, the same night he had engaged to marry Miss Paul and in honor of which event the guests had already assem- bled, gave him prominence, and log rolled him into position.
 John, like turkey Tn the dusk of the evening, is always looking up for place to roost. In 1864 he was the bob-taIl horse, entered by the "Cleve- land assemblage' for the Presidency, as an opponent of Lincoln, but his wings had not sufficient strength for him to reach the top rail of the polti. cal fence. As an evidence that Ere mont was willing, he hurried forward his letter of acceptance, which was dated only four days after his nomina- ton and three days before the Balti- more convention. It was chiefly de- voted to vehement attack upon Mir. Lineoln'S administration. In that let. ter he limited that ii the Baltimore convention would nominate some other candidate than Lincoln he would retire from the contest, but plainly declared that if Lincoln was re-nomi- hated there would be no alternative but to organIze every element of op- position against him. Lincoln was nominated and as a consequence, Ere. mont, the newly pipped asprant for Presidential honors, Subslded.
 He was dropped from his military command In Missouri, in 1861, for in competency Gen. Hunter superseded him. His Notifications surrounding Saint Louis were monuments of his folly, as was also his proclamation of emancipation of slaves in MisSonu, and declaration of martial law through out the State, which was nulhfed by President Lincoln, who did not then regard emancipation as necessary war measure, and for the further reason that such an act was the pre- rogative of the President alone, and because martial law can not be de- clared while courts are open and Tn discharge of their respective functions as they were, at that time, in the State of Missouri.

A, and trIal of accused participants in that affair, The animus of the article in the Republic is so manifest that even the casual reader unsquainted wlth the facts, could not help but note the viudictiveueSs winch almost every sem tence conveys.

The heavy transactions m mines ana inning stocks In St. Louis during the year 1889 were phenom'nal, consider ing the fact that the business there IS oi but few years growth. During the year just closed over 4,5o0,000 shares have changed hands on the open market, and nearly half as many through private trades, The business of the first six months of the year ex' ceeded the total transactions in 1888 by more than 100 per cent.
 Mining is fast reaching firm and legitimate basis in St. Louis and "wild- cat mines are no longer negotiable. Eastern people are beginning to ap- precate the tact that mining IS as Legitimate as any other business. re- curing for it's successful prosecution equal ability, experience and business method,
 It is refreshing to find an Eastern newspaper expressing such sound views on inning as the following from the St. Lotus Globe Democrat: "The mining business Is fair and leglti. mate business if conducted on d sound basis. There are few occupations but what have,a legitimate and specula- tive side to them, and mining is no exception to that rule, and no enc is obliged to adopt ihe gambling method instead of the safe and conservative slde. If a man buys stock knowing that sperulators are at the had of the enterprise he must not complain If the mine does not bring him tue wealth he desires. because he is gam bling with gamblers. A mine should be managed by man with fair knowledge of practical mining, and when the same amount of caution and experience is brought to bear upon mining that IS exercised Tn other bnsi ness the chances of failure are less than m many other industries. The latter clause, however, must be modi. fled with tue thought that the mine is a mlne and not an unknown prospect Those who have failed in mining and then condemn the whele industry would have, in all probability, failed in other occupations. Those who have lost, knowing they, were buyIng for mere speculation, would have done the same thing on a horse race or in q lot tery.
