AX AIiAmilXG PROSPECT.
The terrible disease of leprosy has
become alarmingly prevalent in the
Sandwich Islands. The Hawaiian
Evangelical Association, recently pub
lished a statement which sa3rs: "The
numbers already known to be vic
tims to leprosy, the still larger num
bers who are undoubtedly infected,
the steady, remorseless activity with
which it is extending, all tell us with
ghastly assurance that, unless remed
ial measures are used more effective
than have hitherto been applied, our
Hawaiian people will become in a
very few years a nation of lepers.
Do we consider what this means? It
means the disorganization and total
destruction of civilization, property
values, and industries of our churches
our contributions, our Hawaiian
Board and its works of missions. It
means shame and defeat, and dis
graceful overthrow to all that is pro
mising and in the nation. We are
on the brink of a horrible pit, full of
loathsomeness, into which our feet
are rapidly sliding."
In view of this horrible develop
ment, and the fact that the disease
is not only incurable but infectious
also, it is only the part of ordinary
prudence to -see that it does not be
come naturalized on our Western
coast. The malady, it is well known,
was brought to the Sandwich Islands
by the Chinese, and it is by no means
v uncertain that the Chinese may bring
it to Oregon. Once seated, its eradi
cation becomes almost impossible.
Contributions for the relief and
support of Shreveport sufferers, re
ceived by the Western Union Tele
graph Co. Saturday, amounted to
3,000.
The McAlinville Reporter 'moves"
the election of Rev. E. R. Geary to
Congress, against the regular nom
inee of the Republicans Hiram
Smith; and the Oregonian of Satur
day "seconds the motion."
The success of a farmer depends
very much on his ability to discover
where time is lost, and on his skill
and promptness in rectifying the
trouble. The weak spot differs on
different farmers farms, but it always
exists. See if you can find it.
There is little hope of saving the
Costa Rica. All her compartments
are filled with water to a depth of 15
feet each. A portion of the cargo
was insured for $20,000 in California
Insurance Company, $10,000 in the
Merchants1 Marine, and smaller
amounts in other companies.
In the Baltimore Grand Lodge
proceedings of the lSth we find this.
"A resolution that the next annual
session of th.3 Grand Lodge be held
in Atlanta, Ga., was unanimously
adopted. The Finance Committee, to
whom was referred a communica
tion from Saxony, praying for
aid from the Grand Lodge in the
construction of an Odd Fellow's Hall
in the city of Dresden, and also an
application of Helvita Lodge Xo. 1,
at Zurich, Switzerland, for a loan to
aid in the building of an Odd Fel
low Hall in that city, reported
adversely."
Making Vinegar. A correspond
ent in the Country Gentleman says:
"I noticed an inquiry how to make
cider vinegar without the use of
chemicals or drugs. My way is sim
ply to tear brown paper into strips
of eight or ten inches long, and four
or five in width, dip them into West
Iudia molasses, so that both sides
shall be covered. To three gallons
of cider I put in six of these pieces,
and set the jug where it will keep
almost milk warm for about ten days.
You vail have good sharp vinegar
that vdll keep. The paper saturated
with the molasses will form a mother,
and a piece of it put into sweetened
water lruikes a nice vinegar plant
that will grow ra idly, and keep a
supply of very good vinegar if kept in
41 warm place."
FIXAXCIAI. TROUBLES.
The failure of Jay Cooke & Co, and
what effect it will have upon the Nor
thern Pacific Railroad, and other en
terprises on foot in the Pacific
Northwest, is a subject of such mo
ment that we wish to give all the par
ticulars possible. The dispatches in
form us Fridaj'- last was a day in the
financial circles of New York of un
usual excitement growing out of the
suspension. Failures which have
heretofore occurred were mere local
affairs and produced little excitement
compared with the one of to-day.
The connection of Jay Cooke cfc Co.,
with the Government in effecting
loans during the war, and in funding
operations since, has given the firm a
national reputation, which, of course,
only intensified the excitement con
sequent upon their suspension. The
money market was unfavorably af
fected by the failures of the day and
general distrust was enforced there
by. The Express says the Govern
ment to-day in refusing to sell gold
took the first step toward stopping a
spread of the panic, and calls upon
Secretary Richardson to let loose a
portion of the currency balance. The
Government's are weak and unset
tled in tone. At the close State bonds
were quiet. The effect of the sus
pension was decided on the Stock Ex
change, where a heavy decline in
values took place, Avith a feverish,
unsettled market. During the after
noon there were constant rumors of
failures but at the close of business
the only additional ones were Rob
ison Snydam and Richard Schell.
Mr. Cooke will not be able to pre
sent a statement of his affairs for a
day or two. While there is excite
ment among the business community
over his suspension, great sympathy
is expressed for him, and hopes are
entertained that he will eventual
weather the storm. The temporary
suspension of C. W. Cooke & Co. was
on account of advances on securities
not now available. The firm state
that their house will resume business
at an early day.
In connection with the suspension
of Jay Cooke & Co. many holders of
Northern Pacific Railroad bonds
throughout the country will naturallr
feel concerned about their invest
ments. Inquiry has been made and
the fact is developed, first, the North
ern Pacific is largely in debt to its fi
nancial age its, and therefore can
lose nothing pecuniarily by their sus
pension. The Northern Pacific com
j)any will have to make other finan
cial arrangements before pushing
forward its line. It has had the
completed road and land both mort
gaged to secure its bonds and this
security is considered amply suf
ficient. There is no truth whatever in the
rumor that the National Life Insur
ance Company is in any way affected
by the suspension of Jay Cooke.
Fisk & Hatch of New York have
failed, while Freits and Rubelon are
announced as having suspended.
The firms of Beeters and Edwards
and Eugene Jackson also have been
announced, in the Stock Exchange,
as failed. There have been failures,
since the above announcement, of
Thomas Reen and Co., W. H. Warren
and Co., Greenleaf and Norris and
George Bayley. This seems to be
another Black Friday, and a dreary,
rainy day contributes to the finan
cial gloom. Gold has reached 114,
and stocks, in some instances, have
fallen 10 per cent. Day and Morse
and Hoyt and Warner have suspend
ed. Theodore Bedell and A. M. Kid
der are the latest announced failures.
Desao and Bro, have failed. A sharp
reaction is reported, under announce
ments that Yanderbilt's brokers are
buying heavily. Mr. Cooke says: "I
believe this house will speedily be
relieved from its embarrassment, and
to this end every dollar of means
possessed by members of the firm
will be applied. No one who has a
dollar on deposit here will lose it.
Every liability will be faithfully dis
charged." The London firm re
sponds by stating that all drafts' and
and letters of credit on them issued
by Jay Cooke and Co. will be duly
honored.
-Tlie new steamer Sedalia is having
her "bulwarks but ori, and will leave for
