A SMALLPOX RIOT,
A Mob Keeps the Police from Removing 9
Child to the Pest House.


MILWAUKEE, Aug. 7.-The first small
pox riot took place here last night on
the south side, and resulted in a de-
cisive victory for the mob. although
there was no bloodshed. The author
tiles postponed action until to-day,
when they will make decided move.
A case of smallpox was discovered
near Greenfield street and Fifteenth
avenue to-day. the victim being a child.
The health officers went there with the
department wagon, intending to re-
move the child to the isolation hos
pital. A crowd quickly gathered and
the leaders declared that the child
should not be moved. The crowd in.
creased in numbers rapidly, and de.
tail of officers was sent to the scene
from the South Side station.
When the policemen arrived they
found fully 5000 excited men and
women blocking the street, and loudly
declaring that the child should not be
moved. There was some parleying,
and rather than provoke riot, the
heath officers withdrew for the time
being.

Why should l overthrow a system Of
which the revered Washington, speak

annual message:
And their safety and interest require that
they should promote such manufactures as

He it was. too, who approved the
first tariff act, which set forth that:
Whereas it is necessary for the support OF
the government, for the discharge Of the debts
Of the United States. and the encouragement
and protection Of manufactures that duties be
laid on goods, wares and merchandise i'm

A FREE TRADE PARTY.
The Perversity Manifested BY tie Demo
cratic Senate.

The Perversity Manifested BY The Demo
cratic Senate.
Day by day it is becoming more and
more apparent that the democratic
party is swinging back into the free
rebellion. and which it has so loudly
denied for years past. The following
extracts from the Washington Post
show the force of the drift:
The free trade element in the house
is feeling pretty good over the present
status of the tariff fight, which is
causing them but little discomfort of
mind. If the senate persists in its
spirit of perversity, they say. and the
tariff bill fails in conference there is
still time to formulate new measure.
According to MIR. De Witt Warner
(democrat), Of New York, they are
making converts among the conserva-
tive element of the house, who are
daily hearing from the people il the
shape of advice to stick to democratic
principles and force the senate to come
to terms. The longer the deadlock
continues" said Mr.. Warner, 1.-The
become aroused, and time alone is re-
quired to teach the senate that it is
hopelessly in the minority in this
fight
The house has been nearer to a
surrender" he said, than it will ever
be again. Do think that the house
will finally triumph? do emphatically.
All over the country the county pa
pers-and they represent the people
are coming out editorially against the
position taken by the senate. That
body could not have chosen a more in
opportune time to go against the
wishes of the great bulk of the demo-
cratic masses than the present. 1t is
in no position to maintain fight But
If the bill should fail. why congress is
still in session. 1t might not be good
policy for us now to take up new bill
or to pass series of bills to revise the
tariff. 1t would seem too much like a
desire on our part to add to the COM
plications, but in my opinion this will
be done before tariff reform is aban-
doned. When that time comes the
senate will be called upon to deal with
a measure or with measures, as the
case may be, that will be far more
radical than the Wilson bill
Representative Champ Clark dem
spoke in the same vein. The Wilson
bill did not 60 far enough to suit most
democrats" said Mr.. Clark, but we
thought when we passed that that we
had gone to the limit OF concession.
The action of the senate, if it means
to deadlock proceedings, will leave US
ample time to pass new bill. There
are seventy-nine free traders in the
house, and it was their work that
made the Wilson bill as liberal as it
is. Ill tell you what could be done
readily-proceedo on the Springer plan
and instruct the ways and means COM
mittee to bring in separate bills in the
direction of tariff reform. If this pol
icy had been followed from the start
there would have been none of this
wrangling and the Mckinley bill
would have been reformed just the
same. Something of this sort may
happen yet before congress adiourns"

THE DEMOCRATIC BADGE.
A Solid Plea for the Furtherance o.
Trust Interests.

Trust Interests.
President Cleveland's appeal for
1.-The genuine democratic badge" in
his letter to Chairman Wilson, is al
most mockery of the working men
and farmers of the United States, who
now more generally than ever before
display the genuine democratic
badge" every time they remove their
coats, or the wind blows their coat
tails awry. Here is the sentence in
the letter tc Chairman Wilson in which
he appeals for the continuation Of
1.-The genuine democratic badge" upon
the seat of the trousers of every farmer,
coal and iron miner, and laborlng man
in the north:
1t must be admitted that no tariff measure
can accord with democratic principles or prom
ises and bear the genuine democratic badge
that does not provide for free raw materials
That sentence was preceded by the
following assertion of the pledges
made by the democratic bosses 10 the
monopolies and trusts and combines:
We have in our platform and every way
possible declared in favor OF the free importa-
tion Of raw materials We again and again
promised this should be accorded our people
and our manufacturers as soon as the demo-
cratic party was invested with power to deter
mine the tariff policy OF the country. The
party now has the power"
He demands that iron and coal be
placed on the free list with 1.-The wool
of the farmer" but that lin taxing
sugar for proper purposes and within
reasonable bounds, whatever else may
be said of our action, we are in no
danger of running counter to the dem
ocratic principles That is a solid
plea for the sugar trust, of which it is
charged and generally believed that
Grover Cleveland is stakeholder! 1t
is q plea for free raw materials which
most greatly compete with the prod
ucts Of American labor. 1t is plea
for . tax to protect the most brazen
monopoly that manufactures a foreign
practically non-competing raw ma
terial within the United States! The
president has shown greatly more
courage in behalf Of the monopolistic
manufacturers and the trusts and COM
bines than he did in behalf of the gov
eminent during the war OF the re-
bellion, but no intelligent person can
read his two letters to Chairman Will
son, read in the house July 10, and be-
neve that Grover Cleveland is An
honest and patriotic American citizen.
The object Of these letters appears to
Be mainly . desire to increase the pro-
ectiou and profits of the sugar trust

Sheridan and the Mule Driver.


Gen. Cyrus Bussey, late assistant
secretary Of the interior, was colonel
Of the Third Iowa cavalry. and served
for Q time under Sheridan. Gen.
Bussey narrates an incident of the
pugnacious character Of the greal cav
airy general, which occurred long be-
fore he attained eminence as COM
mander of troops in the field. Sheri-
dan was a captain doing duty as a
quarternaster in southwest Missouri
In the early days of the war. A pro-
vision wagon with team of ten mules
was stuck in the mud near Springfield
and the driver began to unreasonably
and numerically belabor the unfort-
innate mules Capt. Sheridan. in
fatigue uniform, without any insignia
Of his rank, mounted on a stout black
horse, was driving along the left of
the road when the blows and curses Of
the driver attracted his attention and
he demanded the reason why the ami
mails were being punished so severely.
The driver gave no reply but lifted
his voice in utterance of oaths and
terrific blow with the heavy butt end
Of his whip. Capt. Sheridan shouted
again to the driver and received in re-
ply profane threat that if he did not
mind his own business he would get
the same kind of treatment the mule
was getting. Without stopping to
state his rank and demand obedience.
Capt Sheridan slid from his saddle
and grabbed the ruffian by the throat
Although a much shorter man than
the wagner, Sheridan was more
athletic and scientific. In a moment
he had the human brute upon his
back in the mud, and then. twisting
the whip from his hand. piled it liber-
ally to the legs and arms Of the mule
driver until he howled for mercy.
Sheridan allowed the frightened bully
to arise, and, handing him his whip,
said: Il am Capt. Sheridan. quarter
master Of this army, and if you don't
get this wagon out pretty quick will
thrash you again"
The WAGNER thereupon took hold Of
the wheel and called two other men to
his assistance, and IN less than a minute
the wagon was on its way. In the
meantime, Sheridan. having mounted
his horse, disappeared in the woods
