SMALLPOX IN CHICAGO.
Terrible Condition of Affairs Reported I
Agents from Neighboring States.

Agents from NeighbOrtng states.
A startling state OF affair has been
brought to the notice of the Mayor
and health officials of Chicago in rela.
tion to the spread of small, OK. Spe-
cial agents from Ohio, Michigan, In
diana, and Illinois were sent t. Chi.
cago not long ago to make secret in.
they made to Mayor Hopkins of the
manner in which the health
authorities of the city were en-
deavoring to cheek the epidemic
seems scarcely credible. The re-
port recommended aquarantine against
the city and so stirrei up the author
tiles that force of 400 vaccinators
was at once adde to the health de-
partment, the force OF regular physi-
clans was doubled and detail OF police
drafted and he'd in readiness II 1t
should be needed. Then within two
days a descent was made upon the in
flicted region and house to house
canvass was made. Every one who
hal not a well-defined scar of recent
production was obliged to be vaccinat-
, 4 again. There was some strong re-
- stance, particularly In the Polish dis
trict, where the po.ice had to be called
in, but the work was thoroughly and
impartially done.
In one district, comprising four
square miles OF territory and inhabit-
ed mostly by poor foreigners, the spe-
cial agents found everything ripe for
the spreai OF the disease. 1t was in
this section that the scourge showed
itself first. The filth aud squalor Of
the locality was indescribable. The
men reported that only two physicians
we're at work, and that but one case OF
smallpox In six was reported to the
health officers. About one case In ten
was placarded to warn people away. and
in one out of ten instances was there
fumigation and quarantine. Chill
dren in homes where there was small
pox were found In q large number OF
instances playing on the streets with
other children. Instances were found
OF children who had about recover ID
from smallpox, but who still had scabs
on their faces, mingling freely with
well children. Grown people living in
infected homes came and went about as
they pleased. Vaccination had been
attempted to some extent. but the
facilities were entirely unequal to the
demand. The inhabitants of the dis
trict were found to be bitterly opposed
to whatever work the Health Depart
ment attempted, and we're evading at
every opportunity.

The Government OF Salvador Overthrown
by Rebels.
After revolution of but a month 3
duration the government of Salvador
has been overthrown and the Presi-
dent, Gen. Carlos Ezeta, has fled the
country. The Vice President, Gen.
Antonio Ezeta, brother of the Presi-
dent, and the pri ,cipal general of the
government army, was killed about
three weeks ago, but his death has
been kept secret until now. Had he
lived, it is safe to say, the outcome of
the revolution would have been differ
ent for up to his death the govern
ment had everything its own way, and
its enemies could make little progress
with the rebellion. The leader OF the
revolutionists Is Gen. Rafael Gutierrez,
and i is helieyed that he will assume
the Pl esidency. y.
Gen. Ezeta, who is now a fugitive,
became President in 1870, when he was
successful in overthrowing the Gov

The Conspiracy of Idleness.

The bottom is dropping out Of
the conspiracy of idleness in which
the protected industrial barons:have
been engaged. From every side
comes evidence that the pressure OF
idle capital is bearing down to the
breaking point, and even before the
object lesson which they set them
selves to enforce is complete, the
protectionists are routed from their
artificial and sometimes criminal po-
sition; for, seeing ruin or a rival
in the field, they are resuming work
all around. The collapse is univer-
sal, from east, west, north and
south, the evidence comes in. Yon-
kers starts her carpetmaking, Penn
sylvania her iron industries, Massa-
chusetts her wooden mills. The
granite quarries Of Vermont start
and the machine works Of Balti-
more have orders for machinery
that will provide for many months
This is just what we have prognos-
ticated. Monopolists may arbitra-
rily and willfully close down, and
retailers may trade on accumulated
stock, but the world will not stand
still; consumption progresses with
daily strides, and the protectionist
who persists in his obstinacy soon
finds that he must fall into march
ing order or march off. The first
law of nature is too strong for the
majority, and self-preservation COM
pels what common honesty, could
perhaps not wiring from him.

February Crop Report.

The weather during January was
variable but not severe. The
ground in the southern and central
counties was bare from about the
25th of December until about the
same date in January. On the 23d,
Gath, and 25th of January it showed
generally throughout the state and
covered the ground to depths vary
ing from lightly to several inches.
The average depth of snow in the
southern counties on the 31st of
January, was about 4 inches; in the
central counties, 81 inches; and in
the northern, 7 inches. The aver
age depth on the 18th of January in
the northern counties was over 5
inches. Correspondents are about
evenly divided as to whether or not
wheat has been injured at all dur
ing the month. At this date, Feb
ruary 8, the weather is warm with
indications that the snow, in the
southern part of the state at least,
will be melted off.
The total lumber of bushels of
wheat reported marketed by farmers
in January, is 1,350,601, and in the
six months, August-January o.
249,636, which is 107,1OS less than
reported marketed in the same
months last year. At twenty-six
elevators and mills from which re-
ports have been received, there was
no wheat marketed during the
month.
The condition of live stock aver
ages not quite so high as one year
ago. The figures range from SO to
81 per cent, comparison being with
stock in good, healthy and thrifty
condition.

Secretary of State.

have hard work to draw a load
weighing a ton and a half, they
can now pull three tons with ease"
That is the kind of testimony
every farmer in Bergen county is
ready to give in favor Of good roads.
Some of them opposed the move
ment at first on account of the cost,
but they are now all glad the work
is done.
There is no doubt regarding the
benefit and value of good roads,
and Alpena county needs first class
highways to develop the magnif-
cent agricultural resources that
nature has so beautifully bestowed
upon her. With first class roads
all farming lands for distance of
20 or 80 miles would be in market
able distance of this city, and it
would be an easy matter for a team
to draw three tons of farm products
to Alpena. A first class system of
roads would open to settlers thous-
ands on thousands of acres of fertile
farming lands, and would prove a
paying investment. Let every tax
payer carefully consider the ques-
tion.

XLpENX XRGUS.
Wednesday, February ~ 1894.

The infamous Federal election
law was repealed by Congress last
week. The law gave the govern
ment officials power to control cleo
tons in the largest cities, and en-
abled the party in power to deprive
the people of the right to manage
their local elections. The deputies
were often men of bad re-
and these men had the
power to decide what citizens should
vote, and how the votes should
be canvassed. With such mercen-
aries in power at the polls, voting
was no longer free; the right of
citizens to vote for whom they
pleased was taken from them, and
hired strangers decided the result
of elections for national officers.
The Democratic party promised to
repeal the law if they were given
power, and the party has redeemed
its pledge and restored to the peo-
pie the right to control their own
local elections.

Good Roads.

The tax payers Of this county
will have to decide by ballot next
April the question Of bonding AL
pena county, to the amount Of
100000, for improving the roads,
and on this important subject we
submit the following extract from
an exchange, showing what has
been done in New Jersey:
"There has been a revolution in
road making in New Jersey since
1889. Every road in the county
was at that time succession of
mud holes during large portion of
the year. Now every one has a
hard, even surface. The work cost
great deal, but money spent in
building good roads is we'll spent.
A better investment for the money
could not have been made there,
nor could better one be made any
where.
could every farmer have my ex-
perience, good roads would be a
thing of the present instead of the
future" says Bergen county farm
er. "The cost of transportation
between my farm and the depot is
so per cent less over the new than
it was over the old road. Where

Ingersoll and the Churches.

The popularity of Colonel Robert
G.. Ingersoll as q critic of Moses
seems to worry some of the Chris.
tian ministers. But the people are
not breaking away from the
churches. The reports from revi-
walls all over the country would in
dictate that the churches were re-
cruiting more members this year
than is usual. Every large city has
had great revivals, and some of
these have been phenomenal in
their results. But the country has
also had its religious awakenings,
and the st. Louis Globe-Democrat
has gathered statistics in Illinois,
Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, and
Texas which show that in these five
States there have been nearly 54,-
600 conversions, and $4,000 new
members have been added to the
evangelical churches.
In fifty-one counties of Illinois,
not including the cities, there were
1852 conversions this winter and
14,247 additions to the evangelical
churches; in sixty-one counties of
Missouri there have been 20,216
conversions and 17,071 additions to
the churches; in thirty-two counties
of Kansas, 1874 conversions and
1927 additions; in twenty-three
counties of Texas, 7,100 conversions
and 1916 additions; and in ten
counties of Arkansas, 2,240 CONVEX
sions and 2,120 additions. The
average conversions for each county
reported number 800 in all these
Western States, and the grand total
of $4,000 conversions in the five
States does not represent more than
one-half of what would be the re-
suit with complete returns.
The churches have no reason for
uneasiness regarding the teachings
Of Ingersoll or any other popular
lecturer who attacks religion. The
American people are a religious
people, and all they ask of the

Bryan's Speech.

When order was restored Mr..
Bryan of Nebraska, the champion
of the income tax, took the floor.
In the course of his speech he re-
ferred to recent showing that 81
per cent of the people of the United
States own only 30 per cent of the
total wealth, while the remaining 8
per cent own II per cent of the
wealth.
The people of the United States
who have small incomes pay on an
average more than 10 per cent of
their incomes to support the Federal
Government, while the rich pay a
smaller per cent. Why should not
this tax be added in order the bur-
dens may be partially equalized?
1t is objected that this tax will en-
danger the tariff hill. l am not
afraid that any Democratic member
will refuse to relieve the common
people of the heavy burdens placed
on them by the Mckinley bill for
fear he will impose light burden
by means of an income tax upon
those who are simply able to bear it.
| protest against the perversion of
language which we have witnessed
in this chamber.
They tell us that those who make
the load heavier upon those least
able to bear it are distributing the
burdens of the government with
impartial hands, but those who in
sist that each citizen should pay in
proportion to his wealth are blinded
by prejudice against the rich. They
call that man a statesman whose ear
is turned to catch the slightest pull
sation of the pocketbook, and de-
nounce as demagogue the man
who dares to feel the heart beat of
humanity, Ward McAllister, the
leader of New York's Four Hun
dred, said the other day that the in
come tax if adopted will compel
many of the best people of New
York to live abroad, where living is
cheaper.
But while there where will they
stay? England taxes incomes
more than 2 per cent, Prussia as
high as 4 per cent, Switzerland
as high as s per cent, India as high
as IL per cent and Austria as high
as 20 per cent. But who will expel
himself rather than support his
Government? Who will choose to
live under a monarchy even without
an income tax rather than live in
republic with 2 per cent tax? If
such there be let them depart. We
can better dispense with their wealth
than submit to the contamination
Of their presence.
At the close of Mr.. Bryan's speech
he was accorded an ovation rivaling
that which had just marked the
close of Mr.. Cochran's attack on
the income tax. The advocates of
