Effect of the Recent Democratic Rally —Reed and McKinley to Appear at a Mass Meeting. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. COLUMBUS, Ohio, October 5, 1895. The republicens are conducting a very unusual campaign in Ohio. It is of the kind known as the “gum shoe” hunt, and bas often been adopted by the democrats in this state with marked success. In fact it is abéut the only kind of tactics that will win for them. There is a grave doubt about the wisdom of the adoption of these tactics by the re- publicans, however. Ohio is a republican state, and if the voters are all out, the democrats are pretty sure to be deep under the snowdrift on the morning after the election. A good way to get the republi- cans out to the polls _{s to run a hot cam- paign on the democratic side, and get them thoroughly aroused and excited. For the democrats in Ohio to.run an open and vigorous campaign is to play into the hands of the republicans. For the repub- licans to run a still hunt campaign fs to fall in the hands of the democrats. That is what the republicans seem to be doing just now. The republican state convention was held in May and now as October opens the ac- tive work of the campaign is scarcely be- gun. The democrats, who did not put their ticket In the field until last month, are as far along with their campaign work as the republicans are. The republicans opened their campaign formally two weeks ago to be sure, but little has been done on the stump since that -time. It looks as though it might be necessary to open the campaign again, in order to assure the people that it is really open. Chairman- Kuriz maintains an air of mystery about himself and the committee rooms that is unfavorably commented upon by the press generally. In other years it was always possible for a newspaper rep- resentative to see the chairman at any time for a moment. That is to say, the press was given the preference over the general public, but now the reporters must take their turns in securing admission to the chairman's room. The republicans of Hamilton county have nominated an excellent ticket and the dem- ocrats cannot rely upon the weakness of the candidates of their opponents, in their hope of carrying the county. The result of the republican county convention in Cincinnati renders it practically certain the county will go republican this fall, and the democrats must look elsewhere for yotes in the legislature to secure the United States senatorship. Opening the Democratic Campaign. The democratic campaign opening here last Saturday night was a surprise to the republicans. The parade of clubs and dele- gati was the largest ever seen bere in a purely state campaign. There was a great display of enthusiasm, and the whole affair moved with an impetus that showed that the party is thoroughly aroused and full of sympathy with the spirit of the campaign. There is the danger in it, how- ever, that it will serve to arouse the oppo- sition. In 1884 John G. Thompson, against the advice of the regular state committee, arranged a great demonstration for the democrats, and brought Mr. Hendricks here to speak on the occasion. It was a great success measured by the crowds that were present and the enthu- silasm that was shown, but it had the ef- fect of waking up the republicans, who were overconfident and would have lost the state, as McKinley afterward admitted, but for this rousing meeting. The republi- cans at once arranged for a political meet- ins and brought Mr. Blaine here to make-a ipeech. That meeting was a big one, and Blaine remained in the state for two weeks and thoroughly aroused the party to ac- tion. The result was that the republicans carried the state by the usual majority. Reed and McKinley to Speak. The republicans have already announced a rallying meeting to be held here on the evening of the 19th of this month, to coun- teract the influence of the democratic demonstration. Thos. B. Reed of Maine is to be here, and will, of course, draw a great crowd. The other speakers will be Gov. McKinley and ex-Gov. Foraker. Gov. Matthews of Indiana may also be here at that time. It Is said that Senator Brice was opposed to the big denfonstration here at the open- ir.g of the campaign for the reasons already stated. Hig idea was that the party would do best, all through tae campaign, by mak- irg a still huni. But he was outvoted in the executive committee. The Fight on Brice. A very ominous movement has been started among the free silver democrats of the state against Senator Brice. It looks as though, after all, they may get his offi- cial scalp. There is a coterie of such men in the party as Allen W. Thurman, E. B. Finley, L. E. Holden of the Cleveland Plaindealer, L. A. Russell and Judge BE. J. Plandin of Cleveland, who would rather see the party defeated than to see it return Mr. Brice to the United States Senate. In spite of the declaration of the party in state con- vertion, by an verwhelming majority against free silver, these men will insist upon injecting the issue in the campaign and making a fight as democrats for the white metal. This 1s certain to embarrass the party, and may of itself cause it to lose the state. In a recent interview Allen W. Thurman gave their plan of work as proposed. They have found that a number of the demo- ccratic candidates for the legislature are free silver advocates. These the free silver r:en propose to pledge to vote for no man for United States Senator who is unfriendly to stlver. Mr, ‘Thurman thinks these pledges can be easily imposed. In the event that the legislature is democratic they will have, he says, enough democratic members so pledged <0 hold the balance of power, and they will vote with the republicans on the choice of Senator rather than for Mr. Brice. The weak point in the plan fs in the pledging business. Mr. Brice can work at that, too, and probably has anticipated the free silver men. If the Senator should shut off his supply of funds for the campaign, as he would be very apt to do if he saw the, cards were being “stacked” against him,” the work of the campaign would come to a sudden stop. —_.- —_ $500 for an Imagination.

TYPHOID FEVER Studying the Increase of The Disease in g This City. Dr. Woodward Explains How the Fever is Transmitted—In Water and Milk. The reports made to the health office during the past few weeks show that there has been a considerable increase in the number of deaths from typhoid fever, and that the disease is prevalent to quite an alarming extent. During the five weeks ending Jast Satur- day there were 66 deaths from typhoid. In the week ending September 7 there were 10; in the week ending September 14 there were 21; in the week ending September 21 there were 13; in the week ending Septem- ber 28 there were 12, end in the week end- ing last Saturday there were 10. With a death rate of"10 per cent from the disease, which is considered rather low, there would seem to be in the city upward of 600 cases. Murchison’s rate of 19 per cent was com- piled from an exhaustive study of reports of ‘hospitals, mortality records of cities and all other available sources of information. According to that estimate there would be, approximately, 350 cases. In the opinion of Health Officer Woodward, who is making a thorough investigation of the matter, there = between 400 and 600 cases now in the city. Dr, Woodward today said that during the months of Gctoher and November an in- crease may be looked for, at least the rate will remain stationary. There is no reason to .hope for a decrease. In conversation with a Star reporter, Dr. Woodward said: A comparison of the mortality from this disease this year as compared with last year and the year before shows that there has been a marked increase. In 1893 the fall months showed an average of 25. Last year the record was as follows: August, 30; September, 26; October, 30; November, 24; mber, 16. The number for September, 1895, was 56. Reasons for Increase. “It 1s practically impossible to account satisfactorily for the increase this year. The long dry spell and the low water in the river may have something to do with it. Typhoid does not spread from contact, as is the case with smallpox, and, conse- quently, it is always a difficult matter to get at the reasons for its development. The typhoid bacillus does its work on the intestines, and, consequently, gets into the system in food or drink. There is rio record of the disease being contracted through tn- halation. Insanitary drainage may leave the system in a condition where it is liable to contract the disease, but I do not think it is a primary cause of typhold. “The chief sources of the contagion are impure water and milk. Some authorities hold to the view that the bacillus is trans- mitted through the lacteal glands, but I do not think so, nor do I think that the cow is Hable to the disease. Milkmen, even if they do not water their milk, wash out their cans with water, which is not properly dried out nor are the cans subjected to a heat suf- ficient to destroy the germs. If the water is from an infected well, a whole milk route may be subjected to infection. Milk, to le absolutely safe, should be boiled. When used for small children it should be Pasteur- ized, that is to say, heated not quite to the boiling point, allowed to cool and then heat- ed again. This will kill all the germs it may contain. “Water should be boiled before it Is used for drinking purposes. Ice is also a source of infection, for freezing does not destroy the germs, and when it is melted in the pitcher, even boiled water becomes polluted. In other words, in making ice water, the ice should not be placed in the water, but in contact with the vessel in which the water is kept, as is done in modern improved re- frigerators which have @ water tank. Water Supply. “The low condition of the water in the Fotomac undoubtedly increases the dan- ger to some extent by minimizing the amount of water in which the same num- ber of germs may be confied. That ts to say there may be more germs in a cubic inch of water when the river is low. And yet we have investigated a number of cases in the northeast section, where the patients did not use Potomac water at all, but depended for their supply on a pump. A heavy rain after this dry spell is Ukely tg still further pollute the river. The refuse up the river has been dumped along the banks, but on account of the low wa- ter has not been carried off. With a good rain much of this would be washed into the river. What is really needed here is a better water supply and a better system of drainage. The water for Washington ag’ all to be filtered before it enters the city. “There is some danger also from the use of uncooked vegetables, but this is compar- atively small as against the danger from water and milk, which are the two staples that are usually taken into the system in an uncooked state. ———_-.—_—_ BEFORE JUDGE MILLER. Cases of Some Importance ‘Tried Today: In Judge Millers court today several cases were tried and disposed of, among them being a case involving charges of disorderly and concealed wéapons against an alleged pugilist known as Calvin Tibbs. This young colored man lives in South Washington, and Saturday evening he had an altercation with another resident of that locality. Thinking another encounter might take place later in the evening, the alleged pugilist armed himself with an old sword and a revolver, and then announced that he was ready for all comers. Policeman Anderson was the first comer, but Tibbs did not care to meet him in other than a friendly way, so far as fighting was concerned. He was disorderly and had discharged his weappn three times. The affair caused some little excitement and at- tracted a large crowd. Tibbs had only discharged his weapon for the purpose of frightening off the man whom he thought was after him, and for this reason no charge of assault was pre- ferred. Judge Miller gave him four months for the weapon and imposed a fine of $10 for the disorderly conduct. An old colored woman named Julia Quander, who lives in Virginia not far from Mt. Vernon, was in court on a charge of larceny. James E. Johnson, who lives in Maryland, dropped some money at the Center Market Saturday and the old woman picked it up. She refused to give up the money and for this reason the police arrested her. Judge Miller turned the money over to the owner and released the old woman. John Johnson, allas Williams, a colored man who figured in a fight with Policeman Hile, was convicted of assault and fined $20 or sixty days. James Rebinson, arrested on a charge of assault on James 8. Davis near lith dnd C streets, was tried and fined $20 or sixty days. —— DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. Building Permits.

Passengers Can Again Circle the City for One Fare. The cars of the Belt Railway Company commenced this mornirg to run through without changing cars. In other words, a passenger can now ride the entire five miles, get off where he got on, if he wants to, without the anroyance of transferring to another car in order to complete his journey. The restoration of the old sched- ule on this line will be highly appreciated by many patrons of the road, especially on cold and inclement days. This change on the “Belt” necessitates a change on the 11th street line by resuming the old route via 11th street, from Florida avenue to E street, then to ®th over the tracks of the Metropolitan Company to Louisiana ave- nue, through this avenue to 12th street, thence te Virginia avenue, and thence by way of 11th street south and Water street to the southern end of the line. The Belt line is the only line in the city so laid down as to afford a round trip for one fare, and in the pleasant days of summer there is considerable excursion riding in- dulged in, especially in the evenings and sometimes late in the nights of warm days. It is also what mey be termed the chil- dren’s road, and will be well patronized by them, as it was before the change was made requiring them to get out of one car into another. It was the full intention of the manage- ment to restore the Belt to its original route six or seven weeks ago, but were disappointed in not getting the horses of another company, and were obliged to go elsewhere for them, which was promptly done,* but when they commenced to ar- rive and before they could be put to work many of them were taken gick, not being acclimated; and of course could not be used. Recently another.lot.of fine animals arrived and are now ready for work. It is this lot of korses, together with those that have been restored to working con- dition and the old stock, that enables the company to resume travel over the old routes. The operation of both of these lines over a long stretch on 11th street will bring the cars about 2 1-2 minutes apart. —s—- .., Mystery story on page 14. ar —__ For the Health Officer’s Eyes. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Permit me to add a few words in regard to Mr. Dodge's: recent: article in The Star upon the-large number of box privies per- mitted within the city Mmits and the dis- ease resulting therefrom.'- Recently at noon the ‘wagon ‘0f'the Odorless Excavat- ing Company stopped. just..west of the Maury school.on B_ street northeast. be- tween 12th and 13th. The usual work was dene, but when the filled barrel reached the sidewalk, where hundreds of children were passing, the bottom came out and the filthy mass ran out. No word can de- seribe the horrible stench which “fixed the atmosphere” in that neighborhood snd still lingers there. Closed windows could not keep it out. The excrement was shov- eled up end some lime sprinkled around. Now, Mr. Editor, if one of us should have seen such an occurrence in any other city how we would have made comparisons, even though “odorous,” as Mss. Parting- ton remarked. Cannot the health officer cause these privies right under the win- dows of this large public school to be re- moved, esnecially as the streets are sewer- ed ard provided with water. The health officer should see to it at, once that the barrels used are absolutely safe, so that such an Gceurrence as that mentioned will not be possibie in the future, though pos- sibly it may have been one cause of dls- ease in the past. As I have mentioned the Maury school,tet me call attention to another matter Te- lating to the heaith of the scholars, v The always dirty condition of B street from Sth street eastward. This street has never been paved and in winter ts a sea of filthy mud, through which the children wade in crossing to the school. The prin- cipal informs me that it {s impossible to keep the building clean. It is filled with mud, which is, of course, soon turned to dust, with which the atmosphere Is, filled. Moreover, when a dry spell comes this street 1s covered with dust several inches cep, and this is blown in the form of an impalpable powder into the school rooms and into our houses. We have petitioned, begged and prayed the Commissioners to pave this street and those crossings It, but without avail. The dust has been liter- ally suffocating for a month or two and yet the streets cannot even be scraped. No money to clean anything, but the gutters of unimproved streets. Our taxes are col- lected, however, and have been for years. This little part of the city between Massa- chusetts avenue, Maryland avenue and 8th street and 13th appears to be a sort of “no-man’s land,” 80 far as improvements go. Why ts it?
