Louis Kossuth, the Hungarian patriot,
whose death at the venerable age of 92,
is reported. is but an historical memory
to the younger generation of Americans
Many of us who have reached maturer
years, however, entertain vivid recol.
lection OF the enthusiasm he aroused in
this country, when, in 1851, he came
here to bespeak the sympathy of free
people for people who had failed 10
achieve their independence. The Hun
gFry of to-day, with her large share of
eutonomy under her own name in the
empire Of Austria Hungary, is q very
different country from the PROSTATE and
subjugated province whose cause Kos
suth came here to plead, but her ad-
Vancement dates from the struggle for
Independence in which that patriot bore
SO conspicuous part. The revolutions
OF 1s4S, though suppressed for the time
being, taught the rulers the power of
the people and paved the way for the
spread of democracy and the Limitation
OF autocracy among the government of
central and western Europe. Kcssuth
lived and died in self-imposed exile, de-
clining the offer of the imperial govern.
ment 10 return to his native land.

NEARLY SIXTY VICTIMS SUFFER

Those who PartoOk Freely We're Subse-
quently seized with Violent sickness
Nearly sixty Persons Affected, but All
VIII Recover--Dclieyodt to he Accidental.
BosToS, Mass, March l4.-All the
physicians residing in the Jewish dis
trict at the North End were aroused
early to-day and hurriedly informed
that scores of their neighbors were
suffering from thc effects of some mys,
FERROUS poison. Drs. Kronberger,
Shapiro, Mchrlendor, Knowlcton and
Dawson PROMPTLY responded to the call
and several others were sent for.
The first case reported was at the
house of Mrs. WGrschefsky, at 30 Salem
street, and when DIR. Kronberger ar.
rived there he found the woman and
9-years.old girl seriously i'll. They cx-
hioited ali the symptoms OF poisoning,
and powerful antidotes were quickly
administered.
Meanwhile doctors who had been
called 20 houses nearby found similar
cases, and the reports, which poured in
thick and fast to the physicians offices,
soon showed that nearly go persons of
the section gave evidences of poisoning.
Masses kilger and Harry Levine stag
gered into DIR. Kronberger's drug store
suffering with nausea and very weak.
They were promptly cared for and were
soon able to go to their homes.
Many other residents of the section,
many of them children, were also re.
ported slightly Ill, In all cases the
physicians administered the same anti
dotes, and this afternoon all of the
patients are in comfortable condition
and out of danger.
An investigation of the affair shows
that all of those taken i'll attended the
marriage of Henry Felngold, of Worces-
ter, and Miss Ida Marquis, last night ut
the Baldwin Place Synagogue, and after
ward pariook of tie wedding supper. 1t
was al first thought that all were suffer-
ing from arsenical poisoning, and it was
suspected that the food had been
poisoned, but an investigation by the
police and physicians leads to the con-
clusion that the meat AND chickens
served at the supper were the cause of
the sickness. After consultation this
noon the physicians state that the
chicken was undoubtedly stale and
caused nausea. DIR. kronOerger stated
~ aA -AS~NSAthNt ANep iEllbltbl llll6
afternoon that all Of the patients were
out OF danger and would be all right to-
morrow. lie did not regard The illness
US serious.
Rabbi Margolis, father of the bride,
this afternoon says lie is sure that the
chicken and tongue served at the sup
per were fresh and pure. The fowl
were killed IN his own house Monday
and the tongue came from wholesale
dealer in Brighton. He was not sure
about the kind Of utensils in which the
viands were prepared, but the baker
who cooked the chickens SAID the pan
used was regular meat.roaster and lie
is positive that it could not have been
poisoned at his shop.
some of the members Of Rabbi Mar
COILS synagogue say he has enemies
among his countrymcn because of
church politics, and they believe that an
emetic was put in the food. The physi.
clans, however, do not think SO.

The Iron Age reports very .encour-
aging foreign demand for American
agricultural machinery, much of which,
as is pretty generally known, is sold
abroad at prices considerably below
those prevailing in tho home market.
Shipments to Russia, in particular, are
mentioned as in excess of what they
have heretofore ever been known to be.
"Fhe steamship company which usually
dispatches a steamer to Odessa about
this time of the year, loaded with this
class of goods, owing to the tonnage be-
ing doubled, has put on an additional
steamer. One concern, we are told, has
1000 tons en- route, while others, they
say, have larger quantities. Agents IN
Southern Russia report trade there the
best ever had, resulting from especially
large crops last year. Russian dealers
are credited with having taken more
and quicker notice of our Columbian
exhibits Of this u re than any others.
This conclusion Is arrived at largely
from actual results so far obtained,
judged by orders executed or in hand"
OF course it is very unpatriotic, from
the protectionist point of view, for
American manufacturers of agricultural
machinery to find the home market too
narrow and to ship their products
abroad to be sold in neutral markets in
competition with similar products of
the "pauper labor" of Europe, but what
are you going 70 do about it?

The Boston Herald says that the ex-

makes it evident beyond the least doubt
that the great mass of possible female
voters are indifferent to the franchise. I"
1t has been the same way in Whining
ton. One would think. that if there
were any line in which the women
would prize the ballot, it would be in
the selection Of the men who are to have
the control and supervision of the edu-
cation of their children. But, since the
enactment of the law giving property
holding women the right to vote for
candidates for the Wilmington Board Of

The following editorial utterance of
the Philadelphia Ledger reads rather
strangely coming from paper which
has been urging the Republican Sena-
tors and such Democrats as they can
enlist as their allies to exhaust every
parliamentary resource to delay, if they
cannot defeat, tariff reform, but ii only
expresses in terse and vigorous language
substantially what thousands OF dis.
heartened friends of tariff revision all
over the country are saying rs these
days OF dreary waiting and dickering
and log.rolling are dragging along, with
the trusts fighting for spoils at Wash
ington and the atmosphere of The CAPT
tai growing SO tainted with the malaria
of speculation that patriotism is almost
lost sight Of;
The interminahle conflict over the
tariff bill has disguised the country and
paralyzed the Democratic party, which, if
u went TO an election now, would secure
but corporal's guard of representatives
IN Congress. The spectacle of party
which came into power in 1892 with almost
unexampled enthusiasm now in the slough
OF despond because of the selfishness, In
capacity and narrow-mindedness of its
leaders in Congress is not lattering TO

which SO vigorously championed tariff re.
form, now importuneS Congress TO do
anything rather than keep up the sus-

It appears from the records of the in.
ternal revenue department, says an ex.
change, that Senator (now Justice)
White of Louisiana received S31 1857 in
government bounty as a sugar grower
last year, and that Senator Caffrey is at
the head of Louisiana sugar company
which received $ll5,322 in government
bounty. Considering the manner in
which these Senators have profited by
legislation for the benefit of the sugar
industry, it seems rather invidious to
institute an inquiry into the alleged
speculations of other Senators. Which
reminds us that it will be a grand thing
for the country should the good work
which Evangelist Moody has begun on
Senator Blackburn prove both infectious
and contagious. t

If the Cramps can be persuaded to
move their great shipbuilding plant from
Philadelphia, they can hardly do better
than locate on Wilmington's water
front. There they can get all the land
they want aud all the water they want,
with ample railway facilities and ex-
eeedingly light taxation compared to
that which they now pay. Our river
front is admirably located for just such
enterprises and now is the time to plant
them.
