Word to the Irish Vote.
II have a word to sly about the Irish
vote. / see it stated that the Democrats
boast of having the mass of them in their
ranks. This year ii is one of the mysteries
of politics that a question which interests
England so supremely, which is canvassed
almost as much in London as it is in New
York should have the Irish vote on the side
of Great Britain. If the Irish vote were
solidly for protection they could defy all the
Vaccinations of the Democratic party for
free trade and throw their influence on the
side of the home market of America against
the side of the foreign market of England

Some Fine Day.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 15.-The Oceanic
from China and Japan, brings the news
that Lii Hung Chang, prime minister of
China and the most important man in the
kingdom after Emperor Kwong Sui, is go
ing mad. As is the custom in China I'll
audiences he grants are given in public: all
officers of the court and all servants are in
attendance. For the head of the govern
ment to slap the face of an official in the
presence of an inferior is most deadly in
suit, and the man who is slapped loses caste
forever.
Ii Hung Catches n Tartar.
Yet this is what Chang is said to be do
ing daily. Almost every one to whom he
grants an audience is kicked and cuffed in
front OF the servants and retires disgraced.
According TO the passengers on the Ocean
ic things came to n eliminating point just
before the steamer sailed. One of the gen
erals of the Chinese army appeared before
Ii Hung Chang to make official report.
The genera like his predecessors, was
slapped in the face and was only prevented
by the attendants from falling on the vice
roy.
Only Pretty Good Fake.

Ii Hung Chang, viceroy of China, has
become insane is believed, after a careful
investigation. TO be untrue. No mention
of such a thing is found in any of the ORR

SPRINGER SPEAKS AT ALTON.
He Replies to Criticisms OF the Demo
cratic Financial Plank.

ALTON, Ill, Oct. ia big Democratic
rally was held in this city yesterday. Hon.
A. +. Stevenson and Congressman Springer
were the chief speakers. Springer devoted
a portion of his address TO the financial
issue. In reply to the criticisms of the
financial plank of the Democratic platform
by Senator Sherman. he said: Senator
Sherman and other leaders OF the Republic
can party are trying to distract public at
tention from the tariff by charging that the
Democratic party is in favor of state banks
and state bank currency. This effort to
evade the greater issue of tariff reform will
not succeed.
Explains the State Bank Clause.
"The cfause in the Democratic platform
favoring a repeal of the internal revenue
tax of 10 per cent. on the circulation of
state banks does not make the propriety of
issuing state bank notes "a party issue. 1t
is merely an expression of disapprobation
of the exercise of the taxing power of the
general government to interfere with the
reserved rights of the state. The tax on
the circulation of state bank notes was not
imposed for the purpose OF raising revenue
to support the government, but was for the
purpose of suppressing the notes issued by
state banks in order to give national banks
monopoly of issuing paper money.
Denies the Power of Congress.
Congress has no more right to impose
tax upon the notes of state banks in order
to suppress them, than it has to. impose
tax upon the deposits and discounts of state
and private banks to suppress them entire
ly. Congress might suppress by the eNer-
else of the taxing power in this way many
evils against which the power of congress
might be directed. The states are able 10
deal with all such evils and the rights of
the people will be safe in the hands of their
representatives in their state legislatures.
No Use For wild Cat Notes.
There is no place in the policy of the
Democratic party for uncurrent wild cat
bank notes No place for unstable money
or a huctuating currency. We demand
that all paper money, whether state or ma
tional, shall be kept at par with and redeem
able in coin. Whilaw Reid is better authority
than John Sherman as to what are the true
issues before the country. He said in
cent speech that the watchwords of the
Republican party are protection and re
ciprocity. By that he means Republican
protection and Republican reciprocity as
illustrated and set forth in the Mckinley
act.n

Cholera Makes It's Appearance in the

IONnoN, Aug. 30.-Thc first suspicious
case of disease in London is made pub
lie to-day. Ida Samyan, the 4-year-otd
daughter of a couple of Russian Jews
who arrived here from Hamburg on
Saturday, was admitted to the London
Hospital on Sunday, suffering with
symptoms of Asatic cholera. In
quiry made at the hospital to-day
regarding her condition was met
with the statement that she shows no
improvement. Her parents have not
been affected by the disease. Extensive
measures have been taken by the East
End hospitals to meet any demand that
may be made upon them III the event
of an extensive outbreak of cholera IN
London. Wards have been specially
set apart for the reception OF cholera
patients, and the strictest rules have
been formulated to keep both
the patients and their attendants
isolated. The sanitary authorities
have in no wise relaxed their
vigilance. Every day the lodging
houses are subjected TO a rigid lnspec-
ton, and it may truthtully be SAID that
they were never IN a better sanitary
condition. This inspection Will be kept
up as long as there Is any danger from
cholera. As it is we'll known that over
ripe fruit is a dangerous source OF choi-
era, there is sharp watch kept TO see
that all fruit is in prime condition. 10
