tjrECLU. TlilORJUt TO THX DtSrATCS.!
JJebaita, O., Iecember 30. The local
afternoon Republican daily paper to-day
contains the following. Wbile-Jtfurat Hal-
stead has been busily engagedjn his old
and congenial employment of abasing prom-
inent Republicans, in the gnise or friendly
rj reproof and criticism, Hon Charles Foster
Jtf .has for the past fortnight been in ihe Bast.
'He was called to "Washington
to complete his work with Ihe
Eionz Commission, and to Hew York
.... . ...
..on private business, only returning to
'ostoria last night. "We net him "by ap-
pointment at Newark, this morning, and'he
read what the Cincinnati Commercial Ga
zette has had to say about nim this week,
hurriedly and for the first time. He -expressed
his surprise at the onslaught, and
. gave xts, in substance, the following inter
..view: . TOSTEBSTr.ATCS FOBOTTttSETJ.
''I have not read as carefully as I would
like the-fievere attacks of the Commercial
'Gazette upon my candidacy for the compli
mentary vote of the Republican members of
the General Assembly for United States
iSenator. However, I may sufficiently un
derstand the comments of the Commercial
,azttti to facilitate the substance.
32Xr. Halstead professes to have no per-
scnal feelingof nnkindnessto sue, and seems
to regret that his duty as the editor of a
'great party organ requires him to perform
.4theunplessant'task of giving reasons to the
Republican members
as to why I should

eomrjlimented with iliptr trntA
Something in the role of a Eepublican
nardian, angel.
- HJO-SIEAD'S ADM1SSIOKB.
"Well,Mr.Halstead says of me personally
all I could ask in- some respects, rather
more 'than I could ask. He admits mv
'. 'J ability, my qualifications, and cheerfully
jijjgjjacknowledges that my services entitle me
u uiu expxcssion 01 connaencc nn
der ordinary conditions, bnt that the
conditions are extraordinary, viz: I am a
man of wealth, and was the discoverer,
.maker, friend and partner of Briee. I.only
wish I lld as much wealth as he represents,
and if I had I do not think he would seri
ously oppose me on that ground. He
doesn't intimate that what I have has not
been honestly acquired."
"He is only wild as to your campaign
contributions, it seems?"
ATAVATS MEAlfT 'WEIX.
"Yes, there is a vein of reproach running
through his editorials because I have been
a liberal contributor for party purposes. I
plead guilty, and will go a step further, and
agres that I know that these contribu
tions have not always been wisely
made, but in this connection I desire
to say that my contributions have all gone
t for legitimate party purposes. None of
them have ever gone to bribe anyone, nor
would I use a dollar to corrupt anyone for
the best office in the world. Public office
would be of no value or pleasure to
me whatever if not fairly and honor
ably acquired. I have feared at times
. that some of my contributions were mis
placed, but have preferred that the doubt
should be in favor of the possible advantage
of the party. Even Halstead will agree
that our hindsight is better than our fore
sight." HALSTEAD AS A CONTB1BUTOB.
"Perhaps he never makes contributions
for political purposes," said we, joining in
the Governor's laugh. "Be that as it may,
it seems hardly becoming in a great party
organ to reproach a member of its party for
making contributions for party purposes.
I think those who know what I
have done in this respect will agree
, tuai x nave Deen as nearly unseinsn as any
. jOoe could possibly be. I have been n Tin.
v.: .!.."
puuucau vuuiuuuujr lor -tj years, in sun
., jhine and in storm I have not hesitated to
'do my share in contributing to the cause in
any way, giving my personal services when
ever called upon.
"But then, you're rich, you know."
"I hardly think Mr. Halitead can mean
that he says," rejoined Mr. Poster, "when
Ihe proposes to exclude men of means from
Bparty honors. Does he mean that Vice
President Morton, Secretary Blaine. Sen-
fatbr Sherman, and scores of others of our
ablest and best men are to be excluded from
litlcal -preferences because thev have more
.of this world's goods than the maioritv of
men? If men acquire property honorably,
must that be a bar to political advancement?
Chis kind of reasoning is simply childish."
KVhat about his speculations about Col-
Konel-Bricc and yourself?"
' J J?BAISE TOE ME. BBICE.
. "As to my connection with Mr. Brice. I
jihave known him for the past 20 years. From
first acquaintance with him I have
admired him. I thourht I saw in
jim'the elements of a successful career.

"What iboat-your partnership?"
,rWe are not liMlnesflfjsartners, and have

office, unbidden, and as fteely as I would to
my own. His growth, not only in wealth,
but in that kind'of -cjlture which makes

me pleasure to say for him that
he is a high sdnded, Intelligent

SiX EXACTLY HIS CHOICE.
"Yon don't care to see him elected Sena
tor, though?'.'
'No; beyond say personal regard for him,
I do not care who the Democrats elect
United States Senator. J know nothing of
his canvass except whatTjee in the papers.
Nor do I think it makes much difference to
our politics whether he or some other Demo
crat be chosen."
"Your personal friendship for Mr. Brice
seems a great bugbear in some quarters."
"So it appears. Beduced to a few words,
Mr. Halstead's position seems io be that he
would be perfectly willing to see me com.
plimented hut for my association with Mr.
Brice. 'If I asa worthy of such distinction,
I can't see why my yery proper friendship
for Brice should be a bar to giving the
honor to me. In 1883 the Republican mem
'ber cowardly refused to vote for any Ke
("publican United States Senator This waa
due largely to the same influence that
attacks me now. Then I had taken
too advanced ground on the liquor question
and the party would be injured it I was jcom
plimented In the lieht of what has since
passed, can any one see any special wisdom
in following Mr. Halstead's advice on that"
occasion ?'r
.NOT A SAFE COTJlfSKLOE.
Dld you everknow Bepubllcans to profit
by it?"
"Weil, Mr. Halstead never has been a
safe counselor," said the ex-Governor, "or
at least, not to my knowledge. He is not a
afe counselor now. He Is a brilliant
writer, and hut for the serious blun
ders he makes so repeatedly, iris
paper might with truth be called
the test party newspaper in the country. T
would like the complimentary vole of the
Bepubllcans of Ohio for United States
Senator," said he, in conclusion, "and If bet
ter reasons for withholding it are not given
than the ones by Mr. Halstead, I shall con
fidently expect it.1'
DUDLEY'S SUITS IGKOBED.
The Kew York Supreme Court Intimates
That Be Mustn't Expect Favor.
Nevt Yobk, December 30. Judge Xaw-
rence, of the Supreme Court, handed down
a short opinion in Chambers to-dav. in
which he says in effect that Colonel Dudley, I
wuu u buiuk jiitii a uuzeu Tier xors news
papers for alleged .libel (the publication of
the "Blocks of Five" letters) cannot ex
pect favors frora the Court when he persist
ently refuses to obey its orders. This de
cision was handed down inrDudley's action
against the Press Publishing Company
( World), and denies a motion by the plain
tiff to vacate an order for substituted ser
vices on him of an order for his examination
before trial to enable the defendant to pre
pare an answer.

COOK COUNTY B00DLK 6UIT&
The Famous Chicago Cases to be Aired In
Court Atnlu.
Chicago, December 30. A score of suits,
involving large sums, and pending against
Cook county since the days when the
"boodle ring" of Commissioners was sent to
State's prison, are about to come to trial un
der rather queer conditions. The County
uoard to-day received a communication
from Edward Terhune, County Attorney
elect, which in substance accuses the retir
ing County Attorney, C. B. Bliss, of refus
ing to give any information as to the "boodle
cases" in question. Mr. Terhune's commu
nication also leaves it to be inferred that
Mr. Bliss has taken the documentary evi
dence pertaining to those cases from the
County Attorney s office.
It is further charged that Mr. Bliss is
about to enter into partnership with the at
torney representing the chief "boodle"
claimants. Mr. Bliss, in an interview to
night, denies thst he has made way with the
papers. He asserts there never was any
documentary evidence left in his possession.

Elizabeth, N. J., December 30. Sev
eral clergymen of Elisabeth, particularly
Bev. Dr. Kempshall, of the First Presby
terian Church, and Bev. Father Gessner, of
St. Patrick's Church, have severely con
demned the race tracks located near this
city, whicn they declare are demoralizing to
the youth of the community by the betting
craze which they have developed.
Father Gessner said he knew some fam
ilies who were actually in distress fc- want
of the necessaries of life, when the money
that ought to provide for their sustenance
was lost bv the husband or son at the race
course. He fiercely denounced the sport,
which he termed a species of gamblingruin
ous in the end to all who followed it up,
and warned hjs flock to keep awav from the
temptation.

Havana, December 30. Last evening
thousands of people assembled on the
grounds of the Club Almerdares to witness
a firemen's exhibition, the object of which
was to raise funds for the fire department.
For the purpose of the exhibition a two
story wooden building, had been erected
which was to be set on fire. After the torch
had been applied and the firemen had taken
their places in different parts of the burning
structure it was discovered that the water
supply prepared for the occasion had been
tampered with by some miscreant
Not having sufficient water with which to
fight the flames, the firemen were obliged to
escape from the building as quickly as pos
sible, some being compelled to throw them
selves from the roof. Twenty-two of them

The Dispatch has kept trace off the
growth of this city, both in expansions, to
area and in business and from time to time,
remarked upon the substantial character.of
that growth. It was hot expected that it
would forge ahead like the mush

in 1887, that the growth of our trade, ifjiich

Then began an era of .speculation
which by 1883, between inflated values bf
iron and wild petroleum speculation, run
them up to $497,000,000, The basis not be
ing substantial there was another reaction
which, in three years, reduced the trade of
the city $88,000,000. Then, tatural gas
drew the attention of the world to the manu
facturing advantages of Pittslurg, and in
1887 we increased onr trade '102,000,000.
In 1888 we added $70,000,000 to it, and
tramps became a mere remembrance. Last
year we did still better, increasing our busi
ness $73,000,000.
ALTOGETHER IEGITEIATE.
There has been a period of four years in
which in this city we have bad no specula
tion worth talking of, the trade being of the
cold expressed variety, and here is the per
centage in round numbers: 1886, 14 per
cent; 1887, 25 per cent; 1888, 14 per cent,
and in 1889, 13 per cent, or since 1885
well up to 50 per cent. Dunng these years
the advance is to be credited mainly to the
unrivaled position of the city and its nat
ural advantages as a manufacturing center,
and to the awakening of its population to
that fact, kept before the world in season
and out of season by the press.
The following figures show 24 years'
growth, commercially, and that means
everything in this connection, though it
does not tell of territorial expansion. The

What of the future? We have only
awakened to our importance as a distribut
ing center. Our great, natural highway
cannot be closed against us by monopoly.
We are awakened to the advantages a canal
to Lake Erie wool d give us, and if neither
State nor United States come to our help
and to that of the -country at large,
we will have it anvhow. We have
shown to the world what natural gas will do,
added to push and natural advantages, in
the way of cheap raw material and facilities
for handling it, and if natural gas plays out
we can "show the world and the rest of
mankind" that we can make artifical gas as
cheap as the natural product is now fur
nished. Why should we despair? The whole
world is before us where to choose just as it
was before Adam and Eve, if we have the
nerve to contend for its markets. In manu
facturing supremacy the great leverage that
lifts ns to success is the cheapness of fuel
snd the contiguity of raw material, and the
former we have and the latter we may have
at an expenditure which the profits
of Pittsburg manufacturers for one
year will buy, and why not have
jt? It has been the dream of enthusiasts
that before the close of the century Pi ttsburg
wUI do f 1,000,000,000 worth of business in
a year, and as that is demonstrated to be a
bagatelle not worth contending for, why not
put the figure at $2,000,000,000 ?

These cannot be taken from Pittsburg, but
they can be greatly neutralised, and as we
have gotten the momentum up, let us keep
the ball rolling and sa y "That canal must
and shall be -dug, If Pittsburg digs it her
self," trusting to the spirit of the age which
recognizes a good thing when it sees it, to
come to her rescue.
We must have that canal. We can't do
without it, and neither can the great North
west. The South, with its natural resources
and the outlet of the Mississippi and its
almost innumerable Gulf and Atlantic
ports, will in time get up a world trade, in
which, it is true, Pittsburg may share, but
at a disadvantage, but the great North
west belongs to her, and if ahe do
not secure a market for her manu
factures and her fuel it will be her own

about the custom house and Castle Garden
is watching to see whst becomes of the Gard
ner family, and wondering whether he will
be called to arms in the quarrel between the
collector and the Board of Emigration. The
emigration commissioners stick to their de
cision that John E. Gardner, his wife and
six children shall be shipped back as pau
pers to Europe ou the Bed Star steamship
Pennland, which sails in a few .days. Col
lector Ehrhardt has decided that Gardner
and his family must be landed. Gardner
himself wrote to the Collector to-day from
Ward's Island, and Collector Ehrhardt sent
a brief replv. telling him that he and his
family could remain in the country, and
that nobody could restrain, them of their
liberty.
Just at this moment Mr. Edward Kemp,
of the importing firm of Lanman & Kemp,
was ushered in to seethe Collector. He had
come on the Gardner case. Mr. .Kemp was
positive that the Emigration Commissioners
had not treated Gardner and his family
rightly, and offered to send Gardner $100, or
any amount outright, i.hat would insure the
Gardners against the charge that they were
paupers and liable to become a charge on
the public. This was not considered a satis
factory method of procedure. Mr. Kemp
thereupon asked Collector Erhardt to give
him Gardner's letter. -The request was
granted.
Mr. Kemp went immediately to bis law
yersfvCoudert Brothers, and requested Mr.
Frederick B, Coudert to make the letter the
basis for an application for a writ of habeas

CANADA HAS A MORE' SETEBE ATTACK",
And. One latil Cue is Sorted as far West as

The grip is admittedly epidemic In New
Tork City. The Board of Health says It
can take no steps to prevent its spread. It
is a mild form. No fatalities are anticipated
except from some other disease the grip mar
bring on. The police of the city are particu
larly susceptible. Canada has it in a severe
form. Kansas City reports one fatal case.
SMCtAL TZUQBAV TO THI SISFATCB.1
New Tobk, December 30. It is now ad
mitted by the Board ofHealth that the grip
is epidemic In this town, but no measures to
prevent itr spread will be taken. It has
spread" already lar beyond the possibility
ot checking it. Moreover, it is said to be
spreading at the estimated rate of 8 to 10 per
cent, increase daily. Mr. Joseph D. Bryant,
of the Board of Health, said to-day that
physicians had not been directed to report
cases of grip to the board, because, in the
first place, there were as many cases of
pneumonia and contagious diseases now re
ported as the department could deal with,
and because the grip was notin itself fatal.
If it were, no effective means could be
adopted to curb it Dr. Bryant had never
beard of a case of grip proving fatal. People
who get the grip may contract pneumonia
immediately afterward, and pneumonia is
just now very prevalent.
Jk. PNEUMONIA -WTHD.
A northeast wind is known to the Health
Department of this town as the. pneumonia
wind. Northeast winds have prevailed for
several weeks. There, were 32 deaths by
pneumonia to-day and 39 yesterday. This
is about two and a half times- the normal
number for this season, though it is not
many in 1,600,000. Very many of these
cases haver-been complicated by the grip,
Dri Bryant would not commit himself
upon the question whether the prevailing
influenza was the genuine Russian grip or
not. He said it was sufficient to say that an
influenza bad become epidemic In this town,
which, though not dangerous in itself, ag
gravated certain other diseases and chronic
tendencies to a dangerous degree, and opened
an easy road to pneumonia and other lung
troubles ordinarily fatal.
The Board ot Health; declined to advise
the public in the matter, other than to ad
vise people to be careful not to take cold,
but to stay in doors the moment they sus
pected, the grip,-and to Bend for a physician
at once. Every case must be treated by ,
itself, and with A proper consideration for
the general temperament and physical con
dition of the patient at the time.
1TKE TX3 PABENT
A Jersey City physician who- has treated
a large number of? cases of Influenza, suc
cessfully, and is himself in bed with it now,
said to-day that Jersey City doctors were
trnnntllvu Afrrpd tlintthii infln.nMBmif-
J?t.Jiiervwfw klRarediW tbe- European
variety, uufipeiswfHeveraA-or ine.tp0t aai
gerous features of the parent disease. He
said that some cases in his practice had ap
proached very close to the Bussian type,,
but none filled entirely the conditions men
tioned in the .European medical journals.
Many physicians in this city, however, dis
agree in part with this view. They call it
the real Bussian grip, admitting that it
differs slightly from that on the other side,
a difference due, they think, to different
climatic conditions here.
A number of prominent physicians are in
correspondence with city officials upon the
subject. One of these -writes that he has now
under his care 11 cases of severe influenza,
eight of whom are of the neurotio-form. and
unquestionably the gennine Bussian grip.
HOW TO TELl IT.
The symptoms are: Severe headache, suf
fused eyes, chills, a temperature or about
101 degrees, pains in the- back and limbs, a
cough, and a moderate catarrh. In one up
town case reported, the patient had a tem
perature or iuii degrees and saw every
thing yellow.
It is stated by all physicians that the grip
is not fatal. At the Board of Health it is
asserted that, by itself, it cannot be fatal.
In making this statement Dr. Bryant is in
excellent company. Grip does not last
ordinarily longer than 36 hours. At the
most it runs its course in two days. But
people; with Bright's disease are in danger
if they get it. It has q peculiarly irritating
effect, also, upon patients with weak hearts
aud lungs.
After the grip has run its course comes
the greatest danger to the great mass of or
dinarily healthy people. It leaves the pa
tient with a tremendous cold in the head
and chest. Bronchitis is generally present
to a greater or less extent. It is not safe to
go out of the house for several days. The
penalty is a severer bronchitis or pneu
monia. WHAT THB DITPEBEHOE 13.
"How is it," was asked to-day of a prom
inent physician who holds that New York
has the Bussian type of grip, "that so many
are said to bandying of the grip abroad and
so few die of it in this country, if it is the
same disease?"
"Ihe reason is very simple," was 'the re
ply. "1 do not believe that anyone in Eu
rope has died ot the grip, pure and simple.
But in certain countries in Europe the dis
ease has become more than prevalent. It
has become universal. Practically every
body has it. The peoplo who have died are
tho diseased, the feeble, the old and the
careless. Of course, since everybody has
caught it,, and when all the deaths as cabled
over here, all charged to the grip, it makes
a tremendous showing."
There are about SO cases of grin in Belle,
yue Hospital. There are about 75 cases of
pneumonia there. Bellevua is more than
crowded. The doctors turned away about
40 cases of lesser diseases, such as rheuma
tism, to-day, because there was no room.
POLICEMEN ALL VICTIMS.
Betnrns sent to Superintendent Murray
to-day showed that 295 policemen are laid
up, against 270 on Sunday. Surgeons re
port that two-thirds of the sickness is due to
the grip. Captain Qarland, of the Madison
station, 5 sergeants and 12 roundsmen are
among the victim, which foot up nearly 10
per cent of the entire force. Judge La
combe, of the United States Circuit Court,
was unable to come to court to-day in con
sequence of a severe cold with symptoms of
the grip. Assistant United States District
Attorney Daniel O'Connel is also laid up.
United States Commissioner Shields and
Assistant United States Attornev Eose
have got colds, but are able to work."

the news that the Mayor had written a letter

reached him, and thereupon he sat down
and wrote his resignation. He says in
part:
From the reports in to-day's papers of the
proceedings oi the Board of Estimate and
Appointment at the Mayor's office on Satur
day, I see that you made use of expressions in
relation to myself, after I had finished the Dnsl

left your office, which, common courtesy would
require that yon should have said while I was
present, or have communicated to me by official
fetter. You are reported to have said that you
were boIok to write a letter to the Board of
Health recommending my removal. If such be
your intention, I wish to inform you that yon
are putting yourself to unnecessary and nn-called-for
trouble in this matter.
You, as well ns the gentlemen who have pre
ceded you in office as the Chief Maelstrate of
this city for the past eight years, are well Aware
ot my feelings in relation to the position I now
hold. I accepted it reluctantly and only at tne
urgent request of Mr. Grace. His successor,
Mr. Edson, was not only pleased with my work,
but did me the bonor of kindly offering to take

That the streets, especially in the lower por

attributed to negligence on the part of the De

vonr oonositlon to me has become so marked as
to make it embarrassing for me to longer con

quest that yon will, at an early a date as pos

rendered and those-that remain are uselesuj

Senator Pugh asked upon what grounds

"The rights allowed them by legislation

of the United States granting AmericanjreS

Britain is under obligations to us, andUf;

Senator Hoar stated that Great -Britain I
always Conceded to the United States the
commercial rights of fishing vessels. Sena! ;

Great Britain always acted in harmony with;
Canada on the question whenever the mat :
ter came in the shape of treaty or law. 'Her'
Ministers might favor the Americans inlin?
dividual cases, but that was all. Our State
Department should take steps at once to di
cide the matter finally, one way or another!
When asked bv Senator Dolnh for a ren7
