JERRY ADVISES FORCE.

One Of the claims Of the leaders OF
the Populist party has been that
their organization was called into be-
ing by the fact that there is a grow
ing disposition on the part OF an in
creasing number of the citizens of
this county to pay no attention to
any law which in any way restricts
them in what they feel to be their
rights as regards the conduct of their
business. They have made the air
ring with denunciations Of what
they have at times been pleased to
call the millionaire anarchists. But
it seems that preaching. is one thing
and practice is another. Out in Kan
sas the Republicans have a rightful
majority in the lower house OF the
legislature. The Populists, disputed
this fact and carried the matter into
the courts, and lost their case. Now
comes Jerry Simpson and says that it
is because of bad law or bad inter
probation of law. He further asserts
that there are some laws that are
bad, and if they cannot be set one side
through legal channel, then the peO-
pie should ride over them rough shod
by force. And SO he advised the Pop
ulists of Kansas to pay no attention
to law, but organize the House, get
their organization recognized by the
Governor, and SO crush the legal rights
of the opposition. In this the sockless
statesman has placed himself on a
par with the anarchists, who take eX-
actly the same view of the situation
THE people of Kansas says Jerry,
''meant that the POpulistS should
have full control of every department
of the state government, so he advis-
es that they set all law at naught and
take possession of every department
albeit they may not have legal right
to the same. All laws that stand in
! their way, according to Sockless logic
are bad laws and therefore if they
prevent peaceable occupation of the
same, why then use force.
This is the organization That i:
going to restore the government tt
the ways of it's founders. But if the
sockless anarchist of the western
prairies would study the history of the
republic and enter fully into its spir
it he would find that the people are
not obliged to resort to force to re
dress wrongs from which they suffer
The constitution provides way that
is far more effective than force. anC
one which always appeals to the high
man. Force may accomplish tempo
rarily that which Jerry Simpson seeks
-power-but it will eventually carry
all connected with it down to ruin
because it is an element foreign tC
American ideas, and at total variance
with the elements of popular govern
ment. To inaugurate and follow VI
the plan thus advised would be to in
vite the state of affairs that have eX
listed more Or less in the South Amer
lean countries and bid good bye to the
peace and prosperity that has attend
ed us as a nation through the past.
However, it IS only necessary tC
give men of the Jerry Simpson stripe
plenty of rope with which torun theil
course, and in time they will hang
| themselves.

THE BELLlGERENT TRlBESMEN.
They EEhort the Moors to Drive Out An
Europenns.


MADRID, Oct o.-The cable to MeIilla
has been repaired and dispatches of the
most serious import are arriving here.
The holy men" throughout Morocco
are preaching war OF determination.
They exhort the Moors to drive out all
European infidels and give no quarter to
6paniards captured in battle. The Ka-
byles continue to arrive Mt the camp of tho
tribesmen near Melilla, The Moors have
now more warriors than can be fed from
the district to which they have immediate
access, and a famine threatens. They have
kept up desultory fire upon the Spanish
fortress for the last twenty four hours
The Spaniards have replied occasionally,
but without perceptible effect.
The Moorish commander with a small
escort and flag Of truce, called upon the
governor of Melilla Saturday evening and
sued for peace. He assured the governor
that the sultan's intention was to infiict
exemplary punishment upon the belliger-
ent tribesmen. The governor answered
that Spain could not and would not await
the sultan's pleasure in the matter, espec-
Tally as he was taking his leisure in giving
satisfaction for the attack on the fort
The Moors fusiaded the Spanish gun
boat Cuervea as she was leaving Melilla
harbor after having landed troops and
ammunition. The gunboat put about and
for twenty minutes shelled the Moorish
camp. Twenty-four shells were sent into
the center of the Moor's position, and their
fire was silenced
Late last night the cabinet decided to
hold back reinforcements until word has
been received from Melilla regarding the
final decision of the leaders of the Kabyles,
who are to assemble for conference on

THE WEEK IN CONGRESS-
Election Law Repeal Bill to Reach
o Vote Tomorrow.
IT WILL UNDOUBTEDLY BE PASSED.

when This Is Disposed of the Bill to
Modify the Chinese Exclusion Law VIII
Doubtless Come Up in tho House-The
Silver Fight In the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Oct. ct is the common
expectation that this, the tenth week Of
the extra session of congress, will mark an
important epoch in the history of the CON
gress In both houses legislation of tho
first order of Importance is pending-in
the senate the silver repeal bill and in the
house the bill to repeal the federal election
laws-and it is believed that in both cases
the week will mark sensible advance to-
wards conclusion.
On Wednesday the crucial test is to be
made in the senate-that is, IL sufficient
number of senators respond by that date
to Mr. Voorhees, summons to insure the
attendance of a quorum. In that case the
effort will be made to bring the silver re-
peal bill to final vote by sitting contin-
uously, the purpose being to tire out the
opponents of the bill
If the plans of the ropealers are success
full the bill will probably come to vote
before the close of the week But IL the
silver men succeed in an attempt to break
aquorum and force an adjournment at any
stage of the proceedings they are confident
compromise measure or allow the entire
repeal propositi on to fail.
After the bill to repeal the federal cleo
tion laws has been disposed of in the house,
as, under the pending order it will be to-
morrow 1t is expected that the McCreary
bill to amend and modify the Geary Chi
nese registration and restriction act will
be given tho right of way. When the bill
was reported the committee asked that two
n laa all tod 80, Al
measure, and that then vote be taken on
its passage. The committee on rules has
not yet decided upon the terms of an or
der, inasmuch as Representative Geary
has expressed desire for more time for
the consideration of the subject. Repre-
sentative Oates desires to bring up the
bankruptcy bill reported to the house last
week, but prefers postponing considera-
tion until the 10th inst, rather than to en-
ter upon it at the close of the week. So it
is probable that Mr. Geary will get an ad-
ditional day for the Chinese bill. This
would bring it to vote on Friday. The
house may then adjourn over Saturday.
As to the elections bill, the Democratic
caucus called for tonight will decide
whether the Tucker bill or the Fitch bill
bcst.eNpresses the views of the party on the
subject. A fear has been expressed that
there will not be enough Democratic rep
resentRtives present on Tuesday to consti-
tute quorum and pass the bill, but the
managers say that the absentees. left the
city intending to return on that day, and
they confidently expect that the roll call
will show majority of the house for tho
passage of the bill, even if the Rcpubli-
cans as it has been reported is their in
tention, do not vote. Tho Populists will
support the bill, the repeal of the federal
elections bill being one of the demands of
their platform

jenkins Deems Precautions Necessary.
Esw YORK, Oct. 0. - The steamship
Russia, from Hamburg, arrived at quar-
antine station yesterday and reported five
deaths during the voyage. Two of ths
dead were cabin passengers and three
were in the steerage. The deaths were all
said TO have been due to natural causes,
but DR.. Jenkins decided to retain the ves-
sci, dislnfect the baggage and take every
precaution against cholera. She has 10
first cabin, 25 second cabin and 41O steer
age passengers. All the steerage passen-
gers were quartered at Hamburg five
days In accordance with the regulations.
The ship sailed on Sept "a with a clean
bill of health.
When ons day ont from Hamburg Cath
crime Lnthge, a cabin passengers, Al years,
was taken sick and died the same day.
Her brother in law, who accompanied her,
said that sen sickness and her weak con-
dition caused her DEATH On Sept 81 Ida
Stubb, child 1 year Of age, belonging to
family from Aecklenburg, was taken
with diarrhea and vomiting, and died
the next day. DIR. Hoffman diagnosed the
case as one of cholera infantum Tho
family to which the child belonged con-
sisted of Gottfried and Alwene Stubb,
father and mother of the child; brother,
Charles, and Bertha Scheel On the 30th
the latter became i'll with diarrhoea and
vomiting and died Oct. 3. On Sept. 80 the
boy Charles Stubb, who is 8 years of age,
developed symptoms of diarrhma and
vomiting. He is now convalescent.
On Aug. 30 Augusta Thomas, from Sol
lingen, first cabin passenger, 80 years of
age, who was accompanied by her brother,
became quite sick, and ate something
Al 10 tvtt har Sko to
vomit and died Immediately Her brother
stated that her family is subject to heart
disease, and this is given as the cause of
death.
The sixth case was that of Ida Aue a
woman 30 years of age, who was in the
steerage. She was taken i'll on Oct. 8.
She had diarrboea and vomiting, some
pains in the limbs and cramps She Is still
quite sick, but will probably recover
The seventh case was William Schnutt,
Is years Of age. steerage passenger. He
was taken Ill on Oct. 3 and died on the
Tth. All those who died except the last
were buried at sea.
The doctors on the ship said that they
were satisfied that none of the deaths was
due to cholera. Dr. ,Eankins made q per-
sonal examination of the vessel He found
her to be in excellent condition and the
passengers to be n clean looking lot, con-
siderably above tho average of immigrants
who come to this port. No apprehension
is felt hero in regard to the danger of
cholera getting in, even should the cases
on the Russia prove to have been due to
that disease.
The passengers will probably be re-
moved to Hoffman Island, in the lower
bay, this afternoon, where they will be de-
tanned five days

STARVING THOUSANDS.
Terrible Deatitution Among the
Homeless in Louisiana.
CHILDREN CRYING FOR BREAD.

II Is Now Stated That Fully Twenty-Five
Hundred People Lost Their Lives in the
Recent Storm - DuryinE the Dead in
Trenches-Fears of Epidemic.
NEW ORLEANS. La. Oct. 9.-The news
from every section stricken by the storm
makes it safe to estimate the loss of life ut
$500. while millions Of dollars worth OF
property were destroyed Besides that
thousands Of people have been deprived of
the means of making livelihood. The
situation Is appalling, but New Orleans is
doing all it can to relieve the thousands in
want. DIR. Story, coroner of Plaquemine
parish, has made the following report;
A good many car loads of provisions and
clothing have been sent, but not near
enough. Men, women and children are
without food and clothing. They Lave
become so desperate that they have threat
ened to attack the stores and steal food. Il
Is frequent thing to see little sufferers
crying and begging piteously for some
thing to eat. Single graves 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 ascertained they
were cut in rude crosses above the graves
do not think l exaggerate the facts
when | state that at least 300 souls were
ushered into eternity by the recent storm
In Louisiana. This, of course, includes the
Bayou Cook county, Cheniere, Camanada,
Grand Isle, etc. l never saw bodies decom-
pose so rapidly as those of the sufferers
which were viewed by me. This was due
TO the fact that the fish and crabs in the
bayous eat the remains. l believe firmly
that the marshes and other places are
hlled with human forms. 1t Is impossible
to get at these, however, as no one is ad-
yenturous enough TO explore the swamps.
There can be no doubt of the fact that this
is conducive to an epidemic of fever, or
even cholera. If one case of the latter
should develop it would spread through
the country like wildflre, but nothing can
be done to prevent this.
The relief party which set out from Bill
ok tells an awful story of the destitution
and loss of life in the Louisiana marshes.
The marshes are filled with dead and
purifying bodies, in very few cases the
corpses being recognizable. The number
OF lives lost on those marshes will never
be known. The territory covered was a
distance of 200 miles. Newly made graves
were everywhere. The only sign of life
seen in the marsh WAS a raccoon, and it
was floating on n log. Hundreds of oyster
boats and luggers were lost, with most of
their crews and the few survivors tell ter
rible stories of suffering. Most of them
were nude when found.
Captain Julian Lefort the leading spirit
among the survivors of the Cheniere Ca
manada, placed the number of the saved
at 800. The population of the island and
the bayous Immediately connected with it
was slightly more than 1,5OO. He says the
Island will be abandoned as habitation
Of man. Grand Isle and Chemdeleur will
also be aband oned.
