Small PON Epidemic.

A small poX epidemic is threatened in
some parts Of the West and the Illinois
board of health has issued proclamation
enioining upon all municipal authorities
and local boards of health the urgent ne
cessity of steps to secure the vaccination
of all over whom they have authority. In
enforcing the claim for cooperation with
the state board, it adds: "Seven cases of
small pox in one Iowa town, upward of
so cases in Ohio and West Virginia towns
and several cases in Michigan and other
neighboring states, as we'll rs two recent
cases in Chicago, clearly indicate that this
loathsome disease again threatens Illinois
after ten years of almost complete freedom
from its ravages The last epidemic re-
suited in panic and quarantine: interrupt
ed travel. traffic and business; closed
schools, churches and courts; caused SSjt
cases, POS deaths and involved a money
loss of nearly 100000" Eleven cases
have been discovered at New Bedford
Mass, but no new ones reported for a few
days. The utmost care has been exercised
by the board of health to prevent the dis
ease being communicated, and it has not
spread from the mill districts. Compulso
ry vaccination has been introduced, ant
ten physicians have been engaged in the
work.

THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
Recovered $5OO,OOO.
4 View York Detective Claims to Have
Found Missing Securities

ROUND Missing SECURITIES.
Frederick Palmer, a New York detective,
claims to have traced the whereabouts of
100000 worth of securities belonging to
the defunct firm of Field, Lindley, Wiech-
ers IL Co. Palmer says he has been work
ing on the case for the past six months.
When the firm was re6rganized it had
hardly $4,000 capital, but credit was re-
stored. Beginning last August Field took
everything he could get by forgery or any
other means, and proceeded to put it in
places of safety. He hypothecated stocks
and bonds. Sold them. bought others, re-
hypothetical the securities and employed
every possible device to make it impossible
to trace his operations, until he had finally
lodged at least 100000 worth of securi-
ties in large sums in two or three cities
outside of New York state. Boston, Mr..
Palmer minated, was one of these cities.
The securities consist of stocks, railroad
bonds and gold certificates. 1t was impos-
sible, Mr.. Palmer said, for Field to con-
duct these operations alone and he thought
at least 10 or IL people were more or less
concerned in them. In one place alone
there is now, Mr.. Palmer claims, 100000
worth of these securities. Mr.. Palmer
says that he has already begun negotia-
tions with creditors holding claims aggre-
eating 100000. He expects within few
days to conclude satisfactory agreement
with the creditors.

IS IT NOODLE?

It may be observed that in the pres- ent campaign of education the Demo cratic party is already crying loudly for funds. Anything from nickle-in- the-slot upwards is accepted with thanks. This money is not needed for uniforms or the hiring of brass bands or torchlight processions O. mass meetings. What are the legitimate expenses which are causing these pathetic appeals for filthy iucre from all quarters of the territory.
 It requires more faith than the aver age man possesses to swallow and in wardly digest the fables that are given out that all this money is to be expend- ed honestly. They know better. They know that the people know better, yet the same old falsehoods are being warmed over.
 Four years ago Grover Cleveland openly gave his check for sl0,0Oo to swell the Democratic fund. He was the first of the presidents to do so openly, and the more credit to him on that account. He knew how much money is usually expended. He had had practical experience. His first political knowledge was acquired in the slums of Buffalo, where he was inter- ested in the paying out of Democratic funds in the drinking dives and even more disreputsble resorts. He knew how his contribution would be used. Other presidents have been less brazen, or mahap. less prodigal, but all have been expected, in recent years, to donate to the 'good cause," according to their means. Since Samuel J. Tilden set the example of "still hunt" cam psigns have gradually grown less vociferous, and, in proportion to the disappearance of hewgags and tom toms, the demand for dollars for Legitimate" and "educational" pur- poses has increased.

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

The Republican county convention yesterday acquitted itself with honor. It did what all Republicans and all good citizens hoped it would do, and came up to the demand of the time by plac- ing in nomination a good, clean busi- ness ticket from top to bottom. The Republican delegates assembled were broad enough and wise enough to lay aside personal friendships and favorites and vote for the strongest men regard less of every other consideration. This course insures unity and means success. It can mean nothing less. The mistakes of the Democratic convention two days previous made it an imperative duty of the Republicans to nominate business ticket which would appeal to the con fidence of all classes of citi- zens. The feeling of satisfaction which TIE REPUBLICAN indulges over the work of yesterdays convention is not confined to party lines. It is shared by scores of good Democrats and independent voters, in and out of party lines. The time is ripe for the retire. ment of professional office seek CTS. New men and new measures are needed. With such ticket as the k e. publicans now have in the field, euccess by fair measure of hard work is reas. onably assured.

Almost anything will do as an excuse for committing suicide when a person has made mp his mind, but the most far away reason yet recorded is that of Carl Axelson, a New York man. who killed himself because his wife presented him with girl baby. If Carl had only weathered the storm of his disappoint- ment until that girl baby was grown, she might have become schoolmistress or pretty typewriter and supported him handsomely in his old age. A good many cranky old fathers are quite as much of disappointment to their grown daughters as the daughters when they were girl babies ever were to the ia liners.

ONR OF the important blanks in the Territorial Republican platform, is that relating to the selfish policy of rail- roads. It is a well-known fact that transportation companies in this terri tory are notoriously unfair and unjust in their descriminations of rates. Just why the miner should pay freight in proportion to the value of his ores is not understood by the common herd-ex- cept in one light, namely, that the cor porations propose to take everything in sight beyond bare living profit. To expect change outside of legielation is wiliul waste of credulity.

Coal Worth Moro Than Clothes.

Apropos of the way the coal barons are grinding profits out of the consumers and propose still further to continue the grinding process, little conversation was heard last week at the Pennsylvania railroad station in Jersey City that wa very pat. A young New York business man was at the station, waiting to meet his mother, who lives with him here, but had been down in Pennsylvania it ono of the small towns of the coal regions visiting relatives, The mother arrived, md after the usual osculatory greetings tho son bethought himself of her baggage. She went to the baggage room with him and pointed ont a very small trunk.

petter. Many Of the great men cited were the sons of day laborers. Pope Adrian's ancestry on the fathers side was shade humber yet, he being the son of a beggar. Charles Lamb is de. scribed as servants son." Socrates was indebted for the uncommonly homely countenance he carried through life to his father, a common day laborer. Thiers, the gentleman and aristocratic swell, historian, statesman and presi- dent of France, was the son of a man who did odd jobs as lock tinkerer and mender.
 Then there was the great Martin Lu- ther, who changed the theology of half the Christian world, the son of a hum- ble peasant and woodcutter. Thomas Paine's father made women's corsets for living and taught his son the same trade. Perhaps the reaction from this straitlaced occupation caused the son to burst the stays of his thought and break out as an uncnrseted free thinker. The famous soldier, Marshal Sould, was the son of a peasant farmer. The father of the poet Virgil was a slave and porter. He could not. however, have been a sleeping car porter, or his son would never have had to write poetry for liv- ing.
 Numbers of the great men have had tailors either for fathers or grandfathers. No man of his day was so beautiful as the poet Goethe. no man carried in face. manner and bearing the marks of such unmistakable aristocratic lineage. He looked like young god," said Schiller of him. As he lay dead in his coffin, past eighty years old, this look of dag ding, royal beauty still enchained the beholders. Yet Goethe was the grand son of tailor and was ashamed of it, we are told. Gainsborough, the pet and painter of the British nobility, was the son of tailor. Ben Frauklin's father was 8 soap boiler, yet no noble man at the French court had such polished, fascinating manners as he. So if your father was only poor enough and low down enough ia the social scale, perhaps you will stand fair chance of ueing great man.
