Death Ratio 80 Daily


Death Rate 80 Daily
NEW YoRK, Aug. 10-A special cable to
the New York World, dated Naples, August
6, and mailed to Paris tells a serious tale Of
the rayagcs of cholsra in that unfortuna ate
city and Coca to show that both the city
md government officials have taken every
means to suppress the truth. The despatch
nays the deaths from cholera there have
averaged 80 daily for more than a week
pasr
IL is impossible 30 learn the number sick
because they hide themselves. The number
Dt patients in the hospital are not published
'ther. The authorities do not ad NIT tho
The existence OF cholera. The United King
dom Of Italy, from the government Of Rome
to the small officials at Naples, are engaged
in a conspiracy to conceal the truth.
1t is only become known through an
Italian physician who associates with Amer
leans. No news concerning cholera is trans
mitted. The government had hoped to con-
csal the present epidemic entirely. This
season Naples is deserted by English and
American visitors, but swsrms with Italian
visitors who come to battle. Rumor Of the
truth got among them, and Naples Is now
deserted by all who can 60.
In July and thus far in August many
deaths have been registered by authorities
s gastro-entsritis. The Worlds CORE
tpondent knows absolutely that they were
cholera cases.
Add to these the number concealed en-
tirey, occurring in houses and recorded as
Iomething entirely unsuspicious, and the
number occurring in suburbs which were
not recorded at all by the Naples sanitary
authorities, and the average of thirty daily
Is easily reached.
France has just announced she will not

Naples, and Greece has established a quar-
antine.

OVER REACH THE r1ARK.

In their address to the public the
public the silverites at Denver make
mistake in appealing to sectional
prejudice to help their claims for sill
yer. 1t is matter which does not
concern any one section alone, but
the entire country. If silver is bene-
fetal to the Western States, it ought
to prove just as beneficial to the
states of the east. 1t is foolish to
charge the people of the east as en-
tirely under the domination of the
gold bugs, for such charge is not
true. They also make mistake when
they intimate that the movement in
favor Of the unconditional repeal of
the purchase clause of the Sherman
act is war On silver as money. There
are many who favor the repeal of the
silver purchase act who are in favor
of the use of silver under such condi-
tions as will prevent it's depreciation
and resultant endangering of our
financial system. Both of the old
parties are pledged in their platforms
to it's use as money, and to it's free
coinage with gold at such time and
under such arrangements as can be
brought about with the nations
of the world so that the two
metals can be kept at parity. To
charge every one who does not agree
strictly with them and their selfish
motives as being dishonest does not
help their cause along particle, nor
lift it to higher level. The bitterest
opponents of silver have not injured
its cause, not brought as plainly to
view the selfshness of the mine own
ers, as have those who style them
selves the friends of the white metal,
by their actions during the past few
weeks.

NUMBER 6
IN an interview at Minneapolis the

IN an interview at Minneapolis the
other day Senator Allison. of Iowa,
said that he believed that portion of
the Sherman law which provides for
the purchase of 100000 ounces Of
silver per month would be repealed,
but did not think the other provisions
Of the law, the principal one of which
provides that the government shall
keep gold and silver at parity, would.
He is also of the opinion that the re-
fuSal of this country to continue pur-
chasing silver, and the recent suspen-
sion of free coinage in India, will
bring the matter to the consideration
Of the nations of Europe, but would
not venture an opinion as to the final
outcome. Having given the financial
question considerable study, the Sen
ator believes that it ought not be
difficult matter for the United States
to maintain the silver which it now
has in circulation at par with gOld..
or even much larger sum, but does
not think it wise to continue the
practice Of buying and storing it
in the the treasury as it becomes
constant menace to the value of sill
yer produced. The Senator is strong
ly in favor Of bi-metalism, but be-
lieves that it can only be brought
about by international arrangement
and thinks this will be done sooner or
later. Senator Allison is undoubtedly
right when he asserts that the present
amount of silver in circulation and in
the treasury or even larger amount
could be kept at par with gold, if it
were understood thaG the government
would not continue indefinitely as a
purchaser. 1t is not the silver which
the government now has, that is Gre
ating distrust, but the fact that it is
continually enlarging its stock, and is
compelled by law so to do. 1t is this
compulsion and the belief that it's in
definite continuance would eventual
ly carry the country to silver stand
ard, which creates distrust.

The Worlds Fair authorities have
decided to devote the receipts of Sun
day to the sufferers of the fire there
last Monday. The holders .of passes
have also been requested to purchase
tickets on that day. The Inter Ocean
comes out squarely against taking
Sunday as the day, and says that
some other day when the attendance
is much larger, should be taken,
when the fact of what the funds are
to be used for can be we'll advertised.
1t argues, and the point is no doubt
well taken, that there are thousands
who would like to do something for
the sufferers, but who do not attend
the fair on Sunday as a matter of
principle. 1t thinks day should be
taken free from all prejudice. 1t also
argues if the fair is to be closed on
Sundays now is the time to commence.
and that such movement should be
put in force the coming Sunday
"a number of Chicago gentlemen
have written to the fair managers
asking that some other day be taken,
and the matter advertised as thor
oughly as possible so that a large at
tendance may be secured, and those
who may wish to make special con-
tributions and have The funds dis
bursed through the Worlds Fair au-
thorities. There is considerable
force to these statements. If any
demonstration of the kind is to be
made, it should be of the widest scope
possible. The sufferers of that terri
BILE fire are deserving of the fullest
sympathies of the public and no doubt
the people would manifest this SYM
pathy in very substantial form by
turning out in vast numbers, if the
day therefor was placed upon a week
day.

THE straightforward manner IN
which Senator Sherman stated his
position toward the silver purchase
law which bears his name, and told
how the same came to be enacted has
caused great deal of squirming
among those Democratic papers which
have been trying to misrepresent him.
The fact that Senator Shermrn was
one Of the first to favor the repeal of
the law, when it was found thatit did
not meet with the requirements Of
the situation, shows that he is not
afraid to change his position when he
finds he is wrong. But in this case,
however, he never had much faith in
the law, but accepted it as the best
that could be done at the time. When
the fact is recalled that the Demo-
cratic party in congress at that time
did everything in it's power to secure
the free coinage Of silver, it does not
stand in a very good position to criti-
else Mr.. Sherman for doing the best
in his power at that time.

HAVING found that the administra-
tiOn does not want him as chairman
of the committee on coinage, weights
measures, Mr.. Bland has written a
letter in which he says that he does
care for the position, as he prefers to
be free on the floor where untrammel-
ed by the cares of committee hostile
to his views he can make a free fight
for his side. There is nothing like
being able to take in the situation
philOSOphically.

THE New York Herald estimates
that as a result of the tariff which the
free trade congress will adopt, our i'm
ports will be increased 100000, 900.
Now the free trader can in no way
figure out that the people of this
country will buy that many more
goods because of free trade. There
fore if our imports are increased by
5000, 900, 900, it means that just that
amount of American products will be
deprived of a market and the men
engaged in making them thrown out
of employment. Wherein does the
Democratic love of the workingman
appear.

PRIMES CROP BUREAU, of Chicago,
has been collecting opinions from
farmers regarding the repeal of the
Sherman silver purchase law. Out Of
100 answers received 666 were In favor
of the repeal of the law, and 124 op-
posed. These replies were from
farmers located in the northwestern
and Mississippi Valley states. This is
straw which shows that the intelli-
gent farmers are alive to the import
ance of the question of the hour.

FRIDAY the local Worlds Fair

FRIDAY the local Worlds Fair
directory, by a vote of "a to 4, voted
to close the gates at the fair on Sun
day, the order to take effect after
tomorrow. The directory is to be
complimented for the stand it has
taken. Sunday opening has proven a
failure as far as the attendance is con-
cerned, and especially of the class it
was intended to benefit, and the step
taken was the only creditable one to
pursue. To Prof. TousleY, of this
State, much Of the credit for bring
ing about such result is due. He
has labored faithfully early and late
in it's behalf and success has crowned
his efforts. The FREE PRESS believes
the directory did right in the matter.
In common with many other papers
of the country we originally favored
Sunday opening, because we believed
it to be in the best interest of the
masses. But time has proven that
the laboring classes do not want to
take that day to see the fair. Under
these circumstances it would be
foolish to antagonize large class of
people who are opposed to Sunday
opening by keeping the gates open
during the future Sundays of the fair
and the FREE PRESS heartily COM
mends the action taken by the direc-
tory.

military history of themselves from
enlistment to date of discharge.
Hitherto only the dates of enlistment

disability is not the result of any
vicious habits of the applicant.

THE St. Paul NeoDS finds fault with
Chicago in it's demand for lower rail-
road rates, and thinks it ought to set
the example by reducing the rate of
admission one-half. Chicago has done
pretty well already in getting up the
greatest exposition the world ever saw
and the admission is well worth fifty
cents if it is worth cent. Never be-
fore has man ever been given the priv
ilege of viewing such grand aggrega-
ton of the sights of the world, and
the admission fee is quite small
enough,
