With cholera increasing in viru.
lence in st. Petersburg, and new cases
continually appearing in Hamburg
apd Buda-Pesth, it is not by any
means certain America will not be
visited by the dread plague, in the
not distant future. The attention OF
our City Fathers is respectfully called
to this fact. Let no efforts that have
been put forward in the direction of a
proper sanitation of the city, be re-
Taxed. The two deadly scourges OF
typhoid fever and diphtheria are
always with us, and If, under the kind
rulings of an Overriding Providence
we escape cholera, the dire effects OF
typhoid and diphtheria may be
abated.

KENTUCKY RAPTISTS.

On Saturday, the 18th inst, after
two days meeting of the Ministers
meeting, the Association convened
with the First Baptist Church at Gov
ington. The members and friends of
this church had opened their homes to
delegates and visitors, and the enter
tainment given was "h,ight royal"
To say that this meeting was profit
able and interesting would be to use
stereotyped expression that would
fail to carry with it full meaning.
The churches and district Associa-
tions were represented by their very
best men, who had in their hearts the
interest Of the great cause of Chris
tianity. Brethren on other denomi-
nations present were extended seats
with the body and asked to affiliate
in the discussions of all subjects
which might come before the body.
On Sunday all of the churches of
CovingtOn and surrounding cities
were opened to the Association and
were supplied with preachers from
that body.
The report of the Executive Board
made fine showing.
Combining State and district work
2,lOO persons were received by bap-
tism and 100 bg letter and relation
into the churches as the result
of missionary contributors aud
labors for the year. Sermons

THE sENATE's DUTY.

The Mckinley Bill went through
the Senate solely as party measure.
Three Republican Senators voted
against it, and several others-some
of them still in the Senate-voted for
it against their convictions and for
party reason only.
Mr.. Blaine clearly saw its folly and
destructiveness. He pointed out the
fact that it did not open market for
single additional bushel of wheat or
barrel of pork, and used his influence
with Senators to inject reciprocity
into it as a possible saving clause.
The people have now twice con.
demned the measure with an empha-
sis which it is impossible to mistake.
There is ample warrant, therefore, for
every Republican Senator who sup
ported the ball reluctantly as a party
measure to aid in passing the pending
remedial measures without waiting
for the time when the controle of the
upper house shall pass into Democrat
ic hands. That will be good politics
as well as patriotism.
Senator Allison for one seems to be
of this opinion. He has said in an
interview:
If the Democratic majority in the
House of Representatives would con.
tent itself with proposing certain
amendatory measures to the present
law, such as the reduction of duty on
wooden manufactures, and placing
other articles, wool for instance, on
the free list,it might be that no obsruc-
ton would be placed in the way OF
their passage by the Republicans OF
the Senate. ......
The Democratic majority has done
just this. 1t has passed precisely the
relief bills described by Senator ALI.
son, and they are now pigeon-holed in
committee of which he is an infuen-
tial member.
If the Republican party means to
bow to the popular decree so emphat.
ically pronounced, if Republican Sen
ators contemplate future for their
party, if they have any sincere regard
for the will of the people as opposed
to the desires of the monopolis bene-
ficiaries of McKinleyism, they will
permit these measures of relief to
become law at the ensuing short ses-
sion. .....
Win the wiser Republican Senators
see their duty and their opportunity,
remember that
The next President is Democrat ?

THAT JUBILEE.

Il On Friday night the Democrats of
the city aud county proceeded to cele-
brate, in approved style, the great po-
litical victoy they won at the polls on
November s. ..s
TO say that it met the expectations of
the participants would be putting it
mildly. The Democrats had great
reason TO jollify over the result, and
those ofMt. Sterling and Montgomery
county did it. The town was beauti-
fully illuminated and the parade ex-
tensive. The Morehead Baud and the
Chiles' Drum Corps furnished music
for the occasion. The Morehead
Band is an excellent one and deserves a
liberal patronage. We heard many
compliments paid them. The Chilcs
Drum Corps, ofthis city, is no SLOUGH,
and the boys did themselves proud.
Floats, transparencies, torches, men
an horseback andI on foot, everybody
in the best humor, made up the
line of march.
The Tammany organization from
our sister city OF Winchester added
much the pleasure of the occasion
But "Mr. Harrison and his Cabinet
was the most appreciated contribution
from Clark's capital. They made a
world Of fun for the boys
Nothing seemed to so affect the boys as
the doleful tune Of the "President and
the Cabinet" as they sung, "We're go,
ing home, We're going home, to stay
forever"
The float representing "the old and
unreliable stern wheeler, Ethan Spike,
with its cargo bound for Salt River
also attracted much attention. The
following advertisement Of the boats

ted during the parade:

THE VICTORY in VERSE.

The G. o. P. is dead
And out of sight
And waiting echo there replied
And plainly said:
"That's rightw
"When freedom from her mountain
height
Unfurled her standard to the air."
She saw the tariff plank was right,
And said to Grover: "Put it there"
Bill Mckinley
Felt it ;nly
When he said he had TO CO.
He dropped his head
And all he said
Was: ooh, oh, oh, o! heigh hop
The G. o. p.
Has ceased to be,
AS Democrats expected
1t died of grief
A whithered leaf,
Outcast and unprotected.
The good old days are crowding in,
When tariff rates won't bother tin.
'Here's to you,' Bill Mckinley, "and
the missis and the kid;
Our orders were to do you, and, of
course, we went and did,"
They may say your robber tariff left
you nothing more to loot,
But the handspring of the business
was the Democratic boot.
Bejamin pressed down his hat,
Mckinley tumbled over,
The bosses ceased to "fry the fat"
And the band played "Uncle
Grover"
The G. O. p. has folded its tents
And gone to yon beautiful shore;
And it looks very much to man up a

Like they'll never come back any
more.

That fatted milk-man swaggers,
His mammouth robber-tariff COW
Has caught the Buck-eye-staggers.

Is on the old Salt river boat,
And in the cold air sneezes;
And every happy colored soul
Can go untrammeled to the poll,
And vote just as he pleases.

With added glory to his fame,

Hurrah, hurrah, the masses cried,

Let every warp and wool be full
OF pure, unmixed and untaxed wool
"You may chalk it on the palms."
And set it down as so,
That the time is fast approaching
When the rascals have to go.
Oh Prick, oh Prick,
You cast that brick,
A bit too hard, and much too quick.

Their spoil of disorder.

MUNICIPAL EXPENDITURES.

1t is matter of interest in completing
the comparison of city expenditures in
Pittsburg and other cities, to note the rate
of expenditure per capita In some of the
important cities abroad. A recently pub
lished table shows that the annual ex-
penditure per capita in London is $11 90;
In Manchester it is $16 H. in Birmingham
1t is $l4 10; in Vienna s15 20, and in Paris,
where the city government undertakes
functions not common to other cities, the
expenditure reaches the large average
Of S26 a.
All these European towns are notable
for their improvements and progress. In
most of them their pavements, lighting
and police systems are far superior to ours
Yet In all of them, with the single excep-
ton of Paris, the cost per capita Of these
high municipal results are from 20 to 45
per cent less than the per capita expendi-
ture of Pittsburg. 1t takes the political
system of Tammany to reach a per capita
expenditure which much exceeds that of
Pittsburg under the last appropriation or
dinance.
We are not disposed to use any very
strong language in inquiring why the
municipal affairs Of Pittsburg cannot be
administered as economically as those of
London or Birmingham. Anything in the
line of denunciation is unnecessary for the
simple reason that when the people make
up their minds to have it done, it will be
done.

THEI,EssER EVIL.

In choosing to support Cleveland the
local Democrats did the best thing, under
all circumstances. Since no protectionist
leader has come forward as Democratic
candidate for the Presidency, the party is
reduced to choice of evils. The anti
tariff policy of both Cleveland and his
Democratic rivals renders them totally
unacceptable to the interests of Pennsyl
vania, and indeed Of the country at large
With the former the policy is the result of
mistaken principle, with the latter it is .
mere matter of vote-catehing expediency.
Cleveland has reputation for integrity of
purpose, and record of high aims and
purity during his administration, while
his most dangerous competitor Is on all
sides regarded as the embodiment of ma
chine politics devoted to personal ambi-
ton. Moreover, Cleveland has frankly
and courageously expressed his opposi-
ton to the free-silver coinage craze in strong
contrast to Hills action in evading the
question in an effort to trim his sails to the
popular breeze.
Although Cleveland's anti-tarif procliv-
ities are the result of sincere conviction,
they are so vastly mistaken as to utterly
preclude his return to the White House.
He made these convictions the issue in the
election of 1888. He staked his all thereon
and he achieved defeat. A repetition of the
defeat is certain to follow renewal of the
fight on the same issue. But, even in de-
feat, it is better for party to be led by a
man of character, and the Allegheny
County Democrats have chosen the lesser
evil in preferring such an one to self
centered machine politician,

PTTTSBURG. WEDNESDAY. MARCH o.
TWELVE PAGES
PRESS ON TO INDEPENDENCE.

All interested in Pittsburg coal indus
tries are to be heartily congratulated on
the concessions in rates made at the meet
ing of railroad officials here yesterday.
The value of the reduction obtained is
clearly indicated by the expressions of
grief uttered by those competitors against
whom our miners have been handicapped
for so long. Better still, it was demon
strated by the orders promptly given for
Pittsburg coal, and best of all by the
statement of one Hooking Valley shipper
that this city would be the gamer to the
extent of 100000 tons a year from him
personally.
In this season of rejoicing let not the
lessons of the past and the instability of
the present be forgotten. Our miners
have had experience enough to show the
evil of being dependent on the sense of
fairness of railroad officials They have
no guaranty for perpetuation of present
advantages.
The lesson is obvious and should be
thoroughly learnt and its teachings put
into practice. Render yourselves indie
pendent of the railroads by pushing the
proposal for ship canal to connect Pitts
burg and Erie Combined efforts on the
part of those whose greatest interests are
involved would lead to an early commence
ment of this work of necessity.
