A Plague Feared.

On Sunday, last, in New Orleans, the
loss Of life by the great storm was estimat-
ed at two thousand.
DR.. Story, coroner of Plaquemine parish,
has made the following report:
ga good many carloads of provisions
and clothing have been sent out, but not
enough. Men, women and children are
without food and clothing. They have
become so desperate that they have
threatened to attack the stores and steal
food. 1t is a frequent thing to see little
sufferers crying and begging piteously
for something to eat. Single gr ayes for
the dead were impossible. Great trenches
were dug, and bodies were piled in one on
top of the other. The earth was thrown
over them, and if their names were ascer-
tanned they were cut in rude crosses above
the graves.
Il do not think 1 exaggerate the facts
when l state that at least $500 .. souls
were ushered into eternity by the recent
storm in Louisiana. This of course in
cludes the Bayou Cook county, Cheniere
Camanada, Grand Isle etc. 1 never saw
bodies decompose so rapidly as those OF
the storm sufferers which were viewed by
me. This was due to the fact that the fish
and crabs in the bayous ate Of the remains.
1 believe firmly that the marshes and
other places are filled with h uman forms.
It is apostolic to get at these, however,
as no one is adventurous enough to ex-
plore the swamps. There can be no doubt
of the fact that this is conducive to an
epidemic of fever or even cholera. Ii one
case of the later disease should develop 1t
would spread through the country like
wildfre, but nothing can be done to pre-
vert this"
The relief party which set out from BIZ
loxi tells an awful story of the destitution
and loss of life in the Louisiana marshes.
The marshes are filed with dead and put
relying bodies, in very few cases the corpse
being recognizable. The number of lives
lost on those marshes will never be known.
The territory covered was distance of
zUU u lies.
Newly made graves were everywhere.
Tie only sign Of life seen in the marsh
was one raccoon and it was floating on a
Jog. Hundreds of oyster boats and luggers
were lost with most of their crews and the
few survivors tell terrible stories of suf-
fering. Most Of them were nude when
found
Capt Julian Leforte, the leading spirit
among the survivors of the Cheniere Ca
manada, places the number of the saved at
800. The population of the island and the
bayous Immediately connected with it, was
slightly more than 1,5O0. He says the is
land will be abandoned as habitation of
man. Grand isle and Chandelier will also
be abandoned.

Sudden Death 70 Flies.

Come inside a minute, said a Fourth
Avenue dealer in pianos, yesterday after
noon. Il have discovered the greatest fly
trap on earth and want to show it to
You" lie led the way TO an instrument
at the rear Of the store on which was a
newspaper. On the paper had been placed
a bunch of sweet peas. At least thous-
and dead flies were lying on the paper in
the immediate vicinity Of the bunch OF
flowers. Il threw these here By chance, {"
''and in about ten minutes / happened to
notice that every fly that alighted on the
flowers died in a very shorrtime." Even as
he spoke a number OF the insects which had
stopped 10 suck the deadly sweet toppled
over dead. They alighted with their usual
buzz, stopped momentarily, quivered in
their legs, tapped their wings weekly
several times, and then gave up the
ghost Louisville journal.

owned by New Workers beat the yacht
"Valkyrie" owned by an Englishman over
thirty mile straight course; and again on
Monday over a triangular course of the
same length. Three more races are to be
run before the contest is decided. The
racing is for the America cup" won by

IMPORTANCE attaches to the recent
decision of the State Supreme Court in the
Bardsley case. The decision was that
John Bardsley, the defaulter, was an officer
of the county of Philadelphia, and that
consequently the county is responsible to
the State for the amount Of State money
in Bardsley's hands sggregating several
hundred thausand dollars. The decision
will apply to number of county officers
who have got away with tax funds by
speculation or embezzelment.

Why Compromise is Impossible.

Since India has suspended free oinsge,
the issue presented by the working Of the
Bland silver act Of 1878 and continued by
the Sherman act in 1890 has ceased to be
a question between bimetallism and mono
metallism. 1t has become an issue
between silver monometallism or gold
monometallism. The country has to de-
eide, and it has to decide promptly, wheth-
er it will keep gold standard or descend
10 "A silver standard One or the other it
musJ have, and unless the Sherman act is
repealed a silver standard it will have and
nothing can do more than defer the ap-
proach of a silver standard. Prevent such
a standard this country cannot standing
alone, though it may by selling bonds and
running in debt in order to buy gold, keep
silver and gold on a parity for while
longer.
This cuts up compromise. The naked
issue is a silver standard or a repeal. Com
promise will mean silver standard soon
or late. Gold will begin to leave the
country. American securities will be sold
abroad. The investing classes there will
begin to seek gold investments. The
banks will prepare for the evil day by reduc-
ing their loans. The last estate of the land
will be worse than the first, which began
last Spring.
This is inevitable. Fifteen years ago
silver legislation was passed on the plea
that Europe would help in maintaining
silver on a parity with gold. Europe Will
not. Italy and Austria have both gone to
a gold standard since then. The Latin
union has stopped coming silver. India
was next the plea of the supporters of
silver. India was to force England to act.
1t has not. India was to absorb silver
indefinitely. 1t has not With the India
mints closed to silver the only choice left
is silver standard or a gold standard.
There is no other.
One thing the United States can do By
stopping silver purchases it can keep the
silver it has coined on parity with gold
Unless it stops these purchases it cannot
do this. 1t will descend to a silver stand
ard. A compromise may delay the steps
to this end. 1t cannot prevent it.-Phlla-
delphia Press.

Projection, like many another cause,
may well ask to be saved from its fool
friends when the latter come before thepub-
lie as Wharton Barker and several Philadel-
phia manufacturers have done and ask the
Republican members of Congress to strike
hands with the silver Senators aud vote
almost unlimited free coinage in return for
votes for protection. As an exchange
forcibly says, more deadly attack upon
the protective policy than this cannot be
conceived. The proposal implies that pro-

willing to engage in treachery to popular
rights in order to compass its ends. This
is shameful libel upon protective tariff
which cannot be too strongly

A THOROUGHBRED horse OF the best class
can run mile in about one minute and
forty seconds. The fastest bicycle rider
can cover the distance in little over two
minutes. On long distance ride, man
has shown his superior endurance to the
horse. An interesting bet was made last
month in Germany, between horse dealer
and a farmer, as to the relative merits of
horse and bicycle rider in 20.mile race.
The horse dealer took the ground that no
horse could compete with a first class
bicyclist. A wager OF 1000 marks was
made. The distance agreed upon was 35i
kilometres, about % miles. The farmer
rode his own horse, thoroughbred hunter.
The bieyclist won with ease, beating the
horse fully three minutes. Several such
races have been made in this country, and
in distances of five, 10, 15 and 20 miles,
the bicyclist almost invariably come out
ahead.
