Tie Cholera ALI accounts from the old
world show that America must inevitably be
visited AMI that shortly, by the terrible scourge
of cholera and, as yet, nothing is done either
by National, State, or Municipal authorities,
to prepare for it. Most of our readers will
remember that the cholera of 1928 was
preceded by remarkably mild and humid
winter ike the one now passing. IT this be
not proof of what may be expected, 1T certain
IL is a remarkable coincidence, as in both In
stances accounts of cholera in Europe reached
this country at the same season. We look for
somc slight attacks before the dawn of anoth-
or new year. and for its prevalence, as pes
thence. during the spring and Summer of l849.
Bicknelrs Reporter SUCCESS that commits
sion be appointed to visit the scenes of the
pes,ilence, 10 inquire minutely into its history,
and ascertain the hest prevential and remedial
measures. We heartily endorse the poposl-
ton. While, however, we Periom every pos
sible preparatory duty, let the dread enemy be
met without fear. DR.. Dawson says, In rela-
tion 10 the cholera of 1882, that it was gene
rallv remarked that the most perfect immunity
was among those who combined habits OF
cleanliness, temperance and industry, with
happy and tranquil mind, fear being reckon
ed among the most active causes OF the disease;
proposition horne out by the medical men
who visited the sick, and who generally esca-
ned all attack. When the cholera was raging
in Vienna, DR.. MarenZeIler, staif-physiclan'
administered cuprum and veratrum TO IoU'-
OoO nersons. none of whom fell victims to the
disease The same result was gained amongst
90 600 people in Hungary and Poland Cam

Mr. PEAReE's GREAT srEEcu.--To the exclusion
Of much other matter Of interest, give to-day the
first part OF Mr. Pearces speech in the Senate Of the
u. s., upon the subject of the Mexican War. This
speech Is considered everywhere the greatest ef-
fort far the session, and the argument upon the
boundary Of Texas at the time of her annexation,
conclusive overwhelming. Our miscellaneous rea-
ders must bear with us a short time il we occupy
rather than our usual space with articles OF this
kind Believing IL the intention Of Mr.. Polk and his
advisers to overrun and conquer the whole Of Mexico,
It is duty TO lay before the public the warnings OF
those who endeayorng to stay these mad schemes
Of ambition. The speech of Senator Pearce we hope
Willie read by every one and not only read but pre-
served for future reference, for as says conempora-
ry it isan armory of facts and arguments that will do
good service to the Wing cause in the fiery political
encounters Of next summer and fall
The conclusion Of this speech will be given on Sat
nrday.

The FINANCIAL BLUNDERERs AT WAsHINeToN.---
Mr. Walker made his annual report, according to all
accounts, after two or three months hard labor In
that report he announced that further loan Of egh
teen millions of dollars was needed. Ina few dayshe
came out with an annunciation that he had discov-
cred mistake OF almost seven million OF dollars in
his report that the treasury nearly seven millions
better off than he had represented it, and that loan
oft0elUe millions would answer all purposes. A few
more days have elapsed, and now Mr.. Young, the
Secretary Substitute writes 10 the Speaker of the
House Of Representatives, saying that another mis-
take has been discovered that the Treasury is about
four millions ofthan was supposed, and that
loan Of sirtssa millions must be had. How many
more mistakes are to be discovered, and how many
times and to what extent the proposed amount Of the
proposed loan is huctuate up and down, backward

her good qualities were, in tho same way thai man

the parson had pronounced the benedction, and the
congregation was dismissed, gentleman took his
position at the door, saw tleyoung lady pass out,
followed her home at respectful distance took land
marks 50 that he would again know the place, and
then returned to his home. The next day he called
upon the family, and not wishing to make court
ship tedious, made known his purpose. The lady OF
the house told him that the one he sought was ia
vorte serrant girl, whom he could see if his inten-
hons were honorable Nothing daunted at the an
nouncement he desired that she should be invitedin.
She was called, and the courtship commenced, and
ended in less than anhour. He was wealthy, loved

General Joseph Lane.

The last Indiana Journal, by innuendo, charges
General Lane with improper, or rather feolious
duct, in suffering Col. Hays TO keep Santa Annals
military coat, costing some eight hundred dollars, as
a trophy of war. The Journals morality would
teach General Lane deliver up the military articles
found in Santa Annals apartment, after the bird had
flown from Tehuacan. The Indiana Journal appears
to have great antipathy to General Lane, at time
too, when the whole Union is lisping his praises
brave and meritorous officer. Last winter that pa
per charged him, in communication, with being
drunk on the battle field of Buena Vista. Is there
any for this abuse-for these charges of rob-
berry and drunkenness,-other than that Gen. Lane
is democrat! Gen. Lane has been a member of
both branches of our State Legislature and is there
man that has ever heard the charge Of intempe-
rance urged or insnuated against him and we
ask, in seriousness before his bravery was test
ed at Buena Vista and other fields of Mexico, was
there man in Indiana that ever supposed he would
need the aid of the bottle to give him courage.
There is reason that be urged for the course
of the Journal, other than DESIRE on the part of Its
editor, disgrace State But what better could
be expected from paper that in 1910, said and sung
such mournfu dittes against employing bloodhounds
III war; HoWt III very numOeT,
when appears that General Taylor was the author
of that system of warfare in Florida quietly takes
back all its former abuse and thinks the General was
perfectly right in his recommendation of these dogs
to the war Department.
| So far General Lane is concerned, his conduct
stands far above the puny efforts of the Journal to
sail him. The first assaults of the Journal we passed
by, unworthy of notice but it is due to the char
of Indiana that the of the Journal should
be reproved The of Joseph Lane is destined to
60 down to posterity of the brightest in
the galaxy of renown, and the day will come
when the editor of that print reckless he is,
will be ashamed of his puny attacks. They beray a
disregard of private justice, which the humblest cti-
of our State might demand from the hands of an
other and show that the Indiana Journal is willing
to blast the reputation of our State forever if con-
temptible party advantage might thereby be promoted
We are sick of human nature Witnessing such de-
pravity.
