PestIlenee In Past Centuries.
The decrease in the death rate of
great cities during the last few years
can only be appreciated by comparison
with similar statistics In the past. In
the twelfth century not less than iif'
teen epidemIcs OF disease and many
falnines carried of the people OF Eng
land. The thirteenth century saw
twenty plaques and nineteen famines,
while the fourteenth had black rec
ord Of disease.
In 134S the BLACK plague or BLACK
DEATH" which was brought into the
country from the east, caused the
death Of 100000 persons In London
alone, while in Europe altogether 25,'
100000 fell victims to its ravages. In
1885 the sweating sickness" appeared
in England, causing great destruction
of human life. II reappeared at vari'
GUS intervals for a century thereafter.
The last terrible visitation Of the
plague in England was in l664.l6G6,
by which 100000 lives we're lost In
London alone. This epidemic was fol-
lowed by the great fire Of 1866, which
destroyed 10000 houses, Including all
the most densely populated portions
OF the city. The rebuilding Of London

Gliding Coaches.

A curious old proclamation was
dated Nov. 10. 1861, to repress the ex.
cesive gliding Of coaches and chariots,
to the great wasting and expense of
gold" This no doubt arose from the
increasing popularity of Hyde Park,
where even the sober Evelyn seems
to have noticed the innumerable ap.
pearance of gallants and rich coaches"
The King, however, evaded his own
proclamation by accepting directly

did Judge Clements assume directions
Iof the proceedings, and within q few
moments the two loving hearts were
made as one.
The course OF truo love could run
no more smooth In this Ease than in

are not as many pounds OF meat pro

OBJECTIONS TO PRIMARY sYs.

The purpose OF the statewide com.
pulsory primary election law, pro
posed and strenuously urged by the
socalled progressive" republican,
leaders, Is exposed by the Keosauqua
Republican in It's issue for the current
week. The Republican calls attention
to the fact that such an arrangement
would give the power TO nominate can
didates to the towns and leave the
country districts with little IL any
voice in the matter. The Republican
declares that there is not one OF its
advocates but has as a motive the
notion that through such a law he
could get revenge on some one, or on
the party that has turned him down in
political aspirations he has had, on
that under such a law he might have
a chance to get the nomination for
once as a minority candidate. The
same paper adds:
ut is a known fact that under a pri
mary election law majorities are, az
a rule not in II, for where there are
several candidates for the same Office
on Is very frequently the case, a mar
may receive only a fourth, or a nth
or a sixth, or a tenth, Of the votes
cast, and yet be the nominee OF nii
party, but in a delegate convention ht
cannot claim the nomination until
majority OF the votes OF the party
EAST at the last election, through theii
representatives present in conyen
ton, ray he is the man they want"
The objection to the proposed en-
actment urged By the Republican II
worthy OF serious consideration. No
only are the motives Of most OF those
VINO are advocating the measure un
worthy ones, but the arrangement II
