Minister Foster has agreed upon the
text of a treaty with Spain which involves
form of the Cuban customs laws and a
mode of settlement of the claims of our
citizens growing out of their losses
through Cuban insurrections. Such a con
templated treaty looks proper and plaus
tble on its face and does not involve the
surrender of twenty millions of sugar and
tobacco revenue in the interest of Cuba.
Mr. Foster is growing wiser as he grows
older In diplomacy. If anything needs
reformation it is custom house manage
merit in Cuba. Canadian shippers of
sugar box shooks used to complain that
a customs officer at Havana or MAtanzns
would do no official act without being
bribed.

Io this connection the Burlington Gazette
remarks that the people have noticed that
not a dollar of the public money has been
used for their pleasure. No government
vessel has been put in commission at
enormous expense to take any member of
the administration to the seaside resorts,
something unheard of for twenty years.
Only last year as many as three govern
meat ships were sailing the sea with as
many parlies of official junkcteis. And
the public has good reason to remember
the one which came and went at the nod
of Chandler, because it went down while
in bis private service and the cost of rais'
ing and repairing her was taken out of
the people's pocket Is not the new way
better than the old? Who would have
the old way again?
Consul Mason reports that the most
elementary principles of sanitary cleanli
Des are unknown in Marseilles; that the
gutters of the streets flow with filth, and
that the conditions are favorable for the
pread of an epidemic. Marseilles is an
ancient city without antiquities. It has
erne fine hotels and one magnificent
drive, but the city itself is damp, filthy
and crowded, with canals running
through it that resemble uncovered sew
en, without answering the purpose of
sewers. These repeated warnings from
abroad should stimulate our sanitary au
thorities to increased exertions to place
Rock Island outside of the class of epi
demic inviting cities. Cholera may be re
pelled much more easily than it can be
expelled. It gets its foothold in filth
Dirt breeds disease. Cleanliness is the
best preventive. Perfect sanitation is the
best kind of inoculation.
THI REAL CATJBK.
Danforth, In his last week's rehash,
makes a vain attempt to prove that Mr
lIcEniry'i nationality was the cause
of
his defeat for the position of deputy
revenue collector under Hon. Maurice
Kelly. This ia another of the old
man's falsehoods. The democratic parly
b composed largely of Irish and Irish
Americana, and if nationality was at all
considered, it would have been a point In
his favor. But it waB not. An element
of weakness in his candidacy was the late
hour in which he announced himself as
an applicant for the position; and then it
was surmised that Danforth was cham
pioning his cause, which drove men away
who would otherwise gladly have sup
ported him . In the short but sharp con
teat that ensued before Mr. Hen
ry's appointment, naught was
said against Mr. McEnrij'g in
integrity or pureness of character, objec
tion simply being made to his reported
alliance with Danforth. In justice to Mr.
McEniry it is but right to add, however,
that he denies the allegation, saying that
the favorable comment on his candidacy
in Danforth's sheet being unsolicited.
On the other hand Danforth says last
week that he was asked to notice bis cans
didacy. Of course Mr. McEniry 's state
ment is to be believed in preference to
Danforth who is a notorious liar but
the former should not blame democrats
for giving the story credence, when Dan
forth, in his boasting way, told Mr. Hen
ry he was going to defeat bim. That re
mark, more than anything else, secured
the appointment for Henry. Mr. Mc
Eniry has set a worthy example in taking
his defeat good naluredly, and at some
future time, no doubt, the democracy of
the county will be glad to honor him with
tome position of trust.

MORE BLOODY SHIRT.
Judge Foraker spoke at Portsmouth,
O., Tuesday to the cxtentof ten columns.
The speech was patterned after that of
John Sherman. It was an attack upon
the south. It said that the colored voter
who, by the way, appears to be pretty
well satisfied could not get his rights. It
declaied that there was no fair voting in
the south. It recalled various alleged
southern ouliaces that were charged
twenty years ago. It said that Mr. Cleve
land was not fairly elacted. It referred
with great indiguat ion to a certain change
n the voting precincts of Chatham coun
ty. Georgia. And yet Judge Foraker was
charmingly disinterested. "I have no
disposition," he said, with a sweet smile,
to keep alive any sectional hatred or
prejudice or bitterness. It is not, there
fore, for any such purpose that I allude
to this matter. I am sure I but speak the
sentiments of republicans everywhere
when I say that the republican party
cares nothing whatever how people may
vote in the south or any other place, so
long as they vote, as American citizens
ought everywhere to vote, according to
their own free will and choice." The
words are very entertaining, everything
considered. In the last state election in
Ohio the state was oveirun with deputy
United Slates marshals, and thousands of
democratic citizens were kept from the
polls. Investigation proves Jthis to have
been the case, and the wonder is that
there was not a fight between the state
and the national autiiorities whose effects
upon the ballot box system would have
been most disastrous. There was never a
more corrupt election than the one allud
cdto. One would think Judge Foraker
would think of this: but, like John Slier
man. he has eyes only for the alleged sins
of the south. Precisely what they have
to do with a state election it is difficult to
see; but the Judge perhaps knows. He
will certainly find out, if he doesn't. The
bloody shirt speeches of John Stierman
and himself ought to nuike the reelection
of Governor Iloadlv a foregone conrlu-
sifln.

until recently as.si-.tant chief of police. The
murder was a brutal one, and the object re
venge, for having lieen ejected from Mitch

Oenesta at 1 -M: 10. The wind Is light, from

to the ea-twar 1 and are still near the light
ship. The Puritan is to the windward and
about a half a mile ahead. With the pres

be sailed much within tlie prescribed time-
seven hour- or no race.

4 p. m. The Puritan has gained three
minutes forty-live seconds so far, and is
loaving the Ucnesta all the time.
4:14 p. m. Both yachts are now standing
east-southeast The Puritan is a mile to the
windward
To-day's race is twenty miles to wind
ward and return, over a course which will
take the yachts from the Sandy Hook light
house to the nort hwest for twenty miles and
back. The buoys were fixed this morning.
The second raoe on Wednesday will be from
a point in the Narrows near Fort Hamilton,
to the 8andy Hook light-ship and return.
If the two re.oes do not decide the contest
a third race will be run over a triangular
course on Friday.

of aquatic excitement Tiie stir that was
this morning every whre otervable was a
continuation of the putilic curto-ity that be
gan yesterday. Inone who count not get
passage on the water gathered along shore
to see as far as they comd across tue water
and to be delighted by the fine display
of canvas up and down the narrows. At
Port Hamilton the crowd ashore was im
mense. Thence each way the coast was
lined with people of all social grades and
conditions of life. The nocking of so many
thousands to the shore aud to eligible points
of view when there was nothing of an ex
citing character to be saen shows how com
pletely engrossed the public mind is with
the aquatic event of the week.

Ulterior craft Hut this week's races possess
a deep interest lor It is acknowledged that
the Oenesta is one oi tue iastest yachts that
ever flew the British colors. The challenge
was tamed nearly a year ago, and the IMc
York Yacht club, recognizing that it would
not do to tru-t the cup to any yacht in their
squadron, resolved to build one, and at the
same time issued an invitution to any other
olub to do the same and enter her in the pre
liminary racea for the honor of competing
with the Genesta. The Eastern Yacht
club, of Boston, took up tlie invitation, and
in course of time two niagniticAut craft
were added to the record of American
yachts; one, the Priscilla, belonging to the
Kew xorkers. the otm-r, tne ruritau, being
the property of the Hostoniaus. - in triu
races between the rivals recently took
place. The Puritan, to tiie joy of her
sponsors and the chagrin of the Itew York
ers, won two races out of tho three, and the
international race committee of the Kew
York club were compelled, very sorely
against their will, to select her to meet the
Oenesta.
The contest however, has a much wider
significance than a mere friendly contest
between two nations. Ail previous efforts
of British yachts to recapture the prize have
been somewnat in tne nature ot anticipated
conclusions But the Oenesta is built upon a
new model and in accordance witn new prm
ciples of nautical science, and represents the
moat ad vaneed'principlos of British modellns
The English are eager to demonstrate to the
world that they are masters of the wind a
that they have at least solved tbe problem
of the create --t speed under the broadest
canvas. Modelers and builders are watch
ing the contest with nnusual interest and
the pride and prejudice of two nations are
aroused. The final outcome of the race ia
awaited with intense anxiety.

was found Saturday on the beach at the
foot of Sixty-third street, right side up and
half full ot water. There are lots of theories

go by. Mr. O'Rourke was stopping at
the Sherman home, and his things are still
there; also mail from St Louis since ar
rived. The idea of an elopement ia scouted

father, Mother, and Three Sitters Dead.
Mr. David t'layjiool, formerly fcHT-jcant-at-Amisnflhe
New Jersey Senate, ami now
Notary Public at Cedarville, Cumberland
Co., N. J., makes the following startling
statement: "My father, mother, and three
sisters all died with consumption, and my
lungswereso weak I raise! blood. Nobody
thought I could live. My work (ship
snmhingVas very straining on me with my
weak constitution, and i was rapidly going
to the grave. While in this condition 1
commenced using Mishler's Herb Bitters,
and it saved my life. lieeause it was so
difficult to get it in this little place, and I
had improved so much, I stopped taking it
for a time, and the result is that I have
commenced going rapidly down hill again.
Somehow, Mishler's Herb Hitters gives
apjetite and strengthens and builds me up
as nothing else does, and 1 must have a
dozen l-ottles at once. Use this commu
nication as you please, and if any one wants
to be convinced of its truth, let them write
me and 1 will make afiidavit to it, for I
owe my life to Mishler's Herb Hitters."
. The secret of the almost invariable relief
and cure of consumption, dysentery, diar
rhoea, dysjx'psia, indigestion, kidney and
liver complaints, when Mishler's Herb
Hitters is used, is that it contains simple,
harmless, and yet powerful ingredients,
that act on the blood, kidneys, and liver,
and through them strengthens and invigor
ates the whole system. Purely vegetable
in its composition; prepared by a regular
physician; a standard medicinal prepara
tion; endorsed by physicians and drug
gists. These a re fou r st rong points, in favor
