A CHOLERA TRAGEDY.
The Terrible Experience of the City Of Ask.

The Terrible Experience Of the City Of Ask.
abad In Turkestan.
At Aska bad, Turkestan, the cholera
had almost. disappeared early in Au-
gust, and the event was celebrated
with much rejoicing on the anniver-
sary of the emperor's name-day, which
occurs in that month. The governor
gave a dinner. to which he invited
numerous company, and the various
regiments were granted extra rations,
that they might rejoice ON the occa-
sion.
The day, which began so suspicious
ly amidst general rejoicing, was des-
tined to have an ending without par
allel in history.
OF the numerous guests who at
tended dinner, one-half died within
twenty-four hours. A military band
of about fifty men who played during
that fatal dinner lost forty of their
mum Der with cholera. and only ten of
the men reached camp that night
One regiment lost half of its men and
nine officers ere the sun rose the fol-
lowing morning; and within forty
eight hours thirteen hundred people
died with cholera.
The cause of this outbreak was clear
" traced to a small stream of water
which supplied the town. Four days
previously the authorities were in
formed that cholera had broken out at
small Turkoman village situated on
.he banks of this stream, about four
miles above Aska bad. The inha bitants
of this village were ordered to move
their tents several miles back on the
hills, which they did.
On the day before the temperance
of the cholera at Askab bad a very heavy
rain-storm occurred. which washed TIE
banks of the river and swept refuse
and other matter from the abandoned
village into the stream. md this matter
was carried by the water into the city
and distributed to all parts of the town
by the numerous open canals through
which the inha bitants were supplied
with water j. was this contaminated
water which caused the temperance
of the epidemic and the frightfnl NOR
tally which followed.
The population OF Askabad was not
more than thirteen thousand, of which
ten per cent. died within forty-eight
hours.-Saaitarv Era.

vention which favored the cession of
the arid lands to the states that they
might be brought under cultivation
naturally created a sensation. Major
Powell informed the editor of the Age
that when taken as a whole his speech
would be found to bear different
construction to that placed upon it.
And he promised to give to that paper
shortly a scientific statement of the
water supplies of the arid region.
This will be looked for with interest
AS a very similar intimation has been
made officially some further informa-
ton is very desirable as the develop
ment of the arid region is dependent
upon its possible water supply.
There is a good article on Fruit
Growing in Utah which shows that the
soil. climate. water resources and
shinping facilities of this territory can
not be surpassed in the entire inter
mountain region What is needed is
enterprise. industry, cooperation and
capital to bring Utah up to the high
standard which is within her reach in
this respect

AS TO THE INCOME TAX.


The income tax proposition seems to
be obnoxious to most of the Republi-
leans, and some Democrats oppose it,
evidently fearing to offend rich cor
porate and personal constituents. The
Boston Herald has the following in
answer TO the query, Shall republic
favor the rich?":
It is the belief of the governments of
England. France and Germany. to say
nothing of others, that the people OF
wealth-that is, those having large in
Icomes-should contribute more to the
support of the government than those
possessed of small incomes, and on
this account an income tax has been
Systematically imposed and collected.
There is no good reason why greater
consideration should be given to
wealthy citizens in a republic, such as
that of the United States of America.
than is accorded to them under such
an autocratic form of government as
that of Germany or such an aristo-
cratic form of government as that of
Great Britain. This much can be said
in defense of the action of those of the
ways and means committee who voted
in favor of this tax, and in addition it
can be said that the government stands
greatly in need of the money.

BuRLEseUEs on Art.

When newspapers undertake to il
lustrate their columns with portraits
of celebrities, local or national, they
ought to have some regard for the
public and for the individuals whose
alleged likeness are stamped upon
their pages. But too often these cuts
are delusive to the people and insult
ing to the individual delineated-
The Atchison Globe contains an ar
ticle on Governor West which is, on
the whole, complimentary and much of
it correct. But it has with it a sup
posed portrait of the Governor, which
looks like wood-cut and appears to
have been executed with a Ratchet.
No one would suppose for a moment
it was intended to represent His Excel
lency, if his name were not appended
to the miserable piece of butcher
wor.
In the Ogden Standard there is a
much worse attempt at pictorial art
1t resembles, we hope. no living crea-
ture. The eyes are like 1.-TWO holes
burned in blanket The nose is
spread across what is intended to be
the face. A few black scratches are
meant we suppose for whiskers, and
a roll on the upper lip which looks like
a curved sausage is intended evidently
for a moustache. And the author of
that horrid looking thing has the
hardihood to print under it Chief
Justice Merritt"
There is no merit in it or anything
that resembles Merritt. If the
Brownings had any cause to go gun
ming for the Standard in the courts,
Judge Merritt has far greater reason
for a suit for libel The unkind cut
would be an Insult on anything bear
ing the human face divine, and on
Handsome SAM" as the ladies used
to call him when Delegate in Congress
for Idaho, it is a, positive outrage.
But we can understand why such
burlesque on art and blotch on paper

Democrat, and everything appertain-
ing to Democracy is sure to be mis-
in the alleged Republican
organ in Ogden.

In discussing the relief question the
Minneapolis Journal remarks: "a fun
damental duty in this connection is to
give aid in food and lodging to the
able-bodied only on condition that an
equivalent shall be given in work. If
the city gives tranps free lodging
or breakfast, the city should require
a certain amount of work in return.
If nothing else can be found make the
able-bodied clean off the snow and ice
from the sidewalks. Let them give
some return in work for shelter or
food. Otherwise the kindly deed will
tend to promote mendicancy. For the
rest, if each family which is blessed
with health and remunerative work
viii agree to help some other family,
sick or destitute and without work
for the next three or four months. in
some substantial way. that will be the
true communicable spirit Of mercy
which delights to share ones goods
with the unfortunates until they are
once more upon their feet" That is
All good. But pauperisn should NOT
be encouraged under any circum-
stances.

good and if the farmers of Sanpete
land the region adjacent have to pay
the old rates on cattle and wool which
were reduced temporarily under a, spe-
clal competition, they viii be compen-
stated by the reduction on regular
Ifreights indicated in the foregoing table
The Sanpete Valley road was a benefit
IN its time no doubt. But farmers
should remember that wheat cost 20
cents hundred to ship, delivered at
Chester, went down afterwards to
10 and was reduced by the competing
line to about 1919 cents. If all
this is to be construed as an attack"
on anybody, what shall we call an
attempt to get the people to boycott
one road for the express enrichment of
another, which is working for a chance
to sell out and abandon the field and
the people whom it pressed into it's SER
vice? Facts and figures are stubborn
things. People who begin an attack
should not object to vigorous defense
That competing line is good
thing for the Sanpete folks we do not
dispute. We have no desire to do any
thing to deprive them of it's benefits
or to injure the little road in the least
degree. 1t is the course pursued which
we have pointed out that has caused
the comments of The Herald. and we
do not think further controversy over
it will be profitable to the road or the
people in Sanpete Valley.

COST OF THE COAL STRIKES.

The folly of most strikes by WORKING
people has received frequent illustra-
ton The cost of them is usually enor-
nous and chiefly falls upon the labor
ing classes, when their condition and
needs are taken into account. An esti-
mate compiled by Mr. John Scott, as
to the cost of the recent coal strikes in
Great Britain appeared in the Glasgow
Herald:
He shows that the normal coal out
put for sixteen weeks declined from 63.-
100000 tons to S9,09oOOO tons. ordinar-
lily there would have been exported
100000 tons, used by steamers at
sea 100000 tons, and consumed in the
country 100000 tons. AS it was,
S,75O,oOO tons We're exported, steamers
used 2,75o,OOO tons, and 27,5OOOOO tons
were burned in the country.
Mr.. Scott finds that the quantity of
coal normally used in collieries and
mines, 1,964,OOO tons, fell to 1,217, $50;
in iron works and in smelling, 16,2OS,-
GOO tons to S,554,4SO; in potteries and
glassworks, 1,47S,oOO to 1858, $50; in fac
tories and workshops, 12.275,OOO to g.
$4,000; on railways, 4,419,OOO to 1871 100;
in gas and waterworks, 2,946,OOO to p
651, 400; and in dwelling houses $780,
600 to S,S3S, 5000.
He is thus enabled to estimate the
loss of wages in those occupations
which were directly affected. The
miners surrendered f4,SoO,6OO, the iron,
workers were deprived of fS,64O, 900,
factory and workshop hands of 1885,
600, and other losses. bring the amount
up to ELS, 2OS. 600 ~
The loss of net profits he estimates
at f1s,255, 615. shared as follows by the
various interests concerned: coal
owners, f2,4So,O0O; .ironmasters, Fl, 1885,
172; pottery owners, etc, f15s,o2S; fac
tory owners. Fl, 3SL1OO; railways, f.
o56,565; shipping, f1,212,5OO; gas and
water companies, fe4765O; shopkeepers,
fS,6416oO Further. householders and
other private consumers of coal paid
f1,767. 500 in increased prices. Adding
these losses together he reaches the
enormous figure Of .f9S,231,2 15. and even
then the truth is not wholly told.
