Circus ExHrBITloNs.-We were very much sur
priscd indeed, 10 observe in the journal of the 18th,
under its local head, some very sensible remarks
about the proposed prohibition of circus exhibitions
within the corporation limits, quarantine regulations
on the railroad, &c. We wondered how any thing
so sensible should have been permitted TO appear in
the Journal. But the wonder ceases with the Journal
of the Doth, for it says that the editor was sick when
the sensible remarks appeared, and he disapproyes of
and diseIaims them. We don't wish our neighbor
any harm but we think if similar results should al
ways follow as to the contents Of his paper, the pub
lie would gain very much if he would keep a little
sick all the time!
We have only time now to express the anxious
hope, that the council will not make such utter fools
of themselves as a former council did during the
smallpox panic.

~The Richmond Enquirer justly says, that
Zachary Taylor has received more at the
hands of the democratic party, and more at the hands
of the American people. than any man of his capaci-
ty and attachments, that ever put foot on the Ameri-
can continent" 1t might have added, that he has re-
ceivcd forty thousand times more than he is entitled
to or deserved ; and thut bis election 10 The ?resi-
dency is a thousand times more ridiculous than that
of the pitiful Louis Napoleon to the presidency OF
France: a buzzard in an eagles nest! A wing cor
respondent of the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser,
some years ago. maintained that the chances of get
ting a good chief magistrate by birth, was quite as
good or better, than the chances of obtaining one by
popular election. If we had to judge by the two ex-
amples mentioned, we should think there might be
some truth in the wing doctrine.

THE FINANCES OF THE NATloNs.-FRANcE-RUssTA
position of affairs in
France, Russia, Austria, and Prussia, renders The
financial condition Of those countries a subject of
more than ordinary interest at the present time. 1t
is difficult to ascertain the actual state of affairs in
Russia but that that power possesses immense mon
etary resources, is beyond all doubt. Russia may be
said to raise annually for the public service Sl25 co.,
900. She possesses productive gold mines, and has
at her immediate command an immense sum in spe-
Gle.
The revenue of Austria in one year (lSi7,) was
152, 600 900 forms. This was derived from direct
and indirect taxation, land ax, salt and tobacco mo-
nopoly, &c.
Reduced in into dollars, Austria may be said to
raise annually, for the public service, about seventy
six millions of dollars.
Prussia raises annually about $4,000, 600, and has
comparatively speaking, but a very small national
debt. The revenue of France in one year, (lo47D
was 1857 ,346, 1874 francs. This was derived from
direct and judicial taxation, the customs. lands, and
all the other usual sources of national income.
Reduced into dollars, France may be said to be
able to raise annually for the public service, some
thing beyond the sum Of two hundred and seventy
one-millions Of dollars. This would be q noble reve-
nue., were it not that the best part Of it has to 60 to
pay the interest of a large national ebt.-BickaeT

CHoLERA-NEw THEoRY-MALARIA A SPEcIFIc-DIRT A
PRoPHYLAcTIc.-A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette
asks, is malaria a cause OF cholera, or is it not rather a pre-
ventlve Z? lie says he epidemic attacks with its utmost vir-
ulence the most healthy localities. Ii prevailed in t0inter
al Moscow, and passed away when the malaria season came
on. In the districts most remarkable in this country for
malaria, cholera, he says. never becu mes epidemic. This is
The case on the seaboard of North aud South Carolina. So
also on the coast Of Africa. The most salubrious places
suffer most BY the disease Thus Lexington, KY, is severely
scourged, while Portsmouth, OHIO, escapes. Aurora, Indiana,
with a high and beautiful site, suffers l%ugbtfulIy, while
LawrencebUrgh, on a low level, a short distance farther up
the uVer, escapes. Louisville Is mole subject TO naiaTlal
diseases thin Cincinnati, yet it suffers less from the ptevail-
Ing epidemic; aud The most incomPrehensible he adds, the
most Startling fact is, that The more us cleanse our city, the
greater is the increase Of MOI tally.
This last named fact has been observed by some persons
IN this city. But again II is contradicIed in the instance of
the city Of Boston. That place is Usually free from malaria,
and it is kept at all times remarkably clean. In 1892 there
was 10 ease Of cholera there. This year the number Of
cases has been very inconsiderabie, but a score or two.
The correspondent of the Gazette says while so day la
bofcrs died Of cholera out Of 1000, but 4 rag pickers and 3
street sweepeIs died; and that those engaged in cutting up
The carcases Of dead boIses escaped The ePidemic.-St. Louis
Onion.
There is ore error, in the statement as to no chol-
at that time, and many murderous experiments were
made by the physicians, to effect cures, of course,
without success.
The other facts stated are true and important, and
disprove most of the fanciful theories prevalent on
the subject, some of which are worse than the cholera
itself. OF course we have not n word to say against
cleanliness in every respect. Our premises are not
encountered by a single drop of foul water, nor any
thing else that is filthy that we know of. We wish
that all others were as clean. But getting crazy
about the matter will accomplish nothing good it
will rather add 10 the evil. Those by the way who
have the dirtiest premises, generally make the most
fuss about their neighbors. Some are too mean, also,
to remove their owa nuisances, but want it done at
the public expense ; and this is another cause for ex-
traordinary zeal on their part.
Let it be remembered as an indisputuble fact that
more lars have been passed against cholera at St.
Louis, than in all other places put together; and that,
Notwithstanding, the cholera has ragged there worse
than any where else,-the deaths numbering some
fire thousand!

The Washington Union wishes to know whether a
party that acts from mere policy can long retain its
ascendancy in this country. Most assuredly it can,
if, like the Wings, it acts from n sound and Just poll
cy.-LouisuiRe Journal.
Taking the Louisville Journal at its word for once,
and it must follow that the Wing policy is unsound
and unjust, for the Wing party has never been able
to maintain the ascendaucy in this country. That is
certain. 1t even now holds power by accident, Taylor
neither having a majority of the popular ~suffrages nor
a majority of the States.

GrThe yincennes Sun replies to the recent as
saults by The Vincennes Gazette, upon Col. German
and his wife. Among other things in refutation of
the foul ISLANDERS, the Sun says
"In answer to this balderdash, gotten up with a
view TO prejudice the minds Of members Of the NJ. E.
church. we will state that the Gazette and no one
else, can prove any such thing by John X. Jones'"
The editor of the Gazette therefore may be set
down as the bascst and meancst liar in this State.

GA fire broke out at Allegheny City (Pa.) on the
10Th inst. which proved very destructive. The fire
ragged about two hours, destroying two entire squares.
with the exception of six houses. From some cause
the 6remen refused to put out the fire, and stood as
idle spectators. They even attempted, it is said, to
prevent orhers from staying the devouring element.
We are not informed of the cause oftheir refusal. Nj.
A. Knox, captain Of the engine William Penn, has
been arrested, for riot. Bail was refused. Other ar
rests have since been made.

We anticipated the concluding suggestions of our

that our rooster has caught the sneaking Wing

here are alarmed. and that is the reason why they
will resort to desperate efforts. But if the peo-
pie of this State know their own interests, and are in
favor of Democratic government, or the policy by
which Indiana stands honcred, and the carrying out
of which will rebound to her renown and tighten the
burdens of the people by le<sening the amount Of
taxation, they will not refuse TO sustain the Demo-
cratic ticket throughout. Let no democratic voter

GTIt is said that most of the flies died during the
prevalence of cholera in 1882. The Baltimore Sun
wants to know if this is the case at present in other
cities. At Baltimore. it says they are unusually
abundant. The Cincinnati Commercial states that it
has watched, and seen an hundred die in an hour, but
don't say whether by cholera or not. IF these gen.
tlemen want to see flies, alive and hungry too. they
can call over here. 1t will keep them uncommonly
busy to avoid being bloped. Half our time is occu-
pied in fighting flies, and we often think they are in
league with the wings.

CHoLERA.-On Wednesday occurred the first case
OF cholera we have had in our city. The subject was
a German who had lately arrived from New York.
He was attacked with diarrhea on his way hero. and
made no application for medical aid until cramps and
vomiting had commenced. He died in about twelve
hours after The cholera symptoms had developed
hemselVes.-J0urRa Of yesterday.
The moment we saw the above we thought it our
duty to ascertain the authenticity of the statement,
and gathered the following facts from intelligent
Germans c%ognizant of Tie circumstances attending the
illness of the deceased. He arrived here on The 18th
instant, Iaboriag under an attack of diarrhGa but
it was not so bad as to PROSTATE him. He kept On
his feet, as we are told. until after a physician was
sent for. He took medicine, went to bed, and in 10
hours was dead or. in the words of our informant,
he "lcent TO sleep and neUer Woke! -
We have only to say, that we do not believe 1t a
case of cholera, and we do not think that the Journal
is deserving of much credit for reporting it as such.
IF it lras cholera, then we have had hundreds of cases
in this city, for half the population have had diarrhaa
or cholera morbus during the summer.
If it traS cholera, then The report of the board of
health, which we publish to-day. and which was
made up after the statement appeared in the Journal,
is erroneous, and proves at least that ''doctors differ"
A word more take a patient diseased by m ordi-
nary attack of cholera morbus give him a cholera
dose composed of 90 grains calomel, 20 grains cam
pbor, and 10 or 10 grains of morphine, and if it
don't XIII him,-why he would be a profitable subject
for a Life Insurance Conpany,-ihat's all. He
would be very apt to take a long nap, at least, and it
might be troublesome to wake him up.
A good deal of gratuitous ddvice has been given to
the public some good, some exceedingly foolish {;
but we will add something 10 it: Avoid panic for
you may as well die of cholera as be scared to
death.

GIVE learn with pain, of the death of Gen. E.
GALE Of Columbus, Ohio. He died on the 18th, of
cholera. The Statesman pays a tribute Of just praise
to his generous character. 1t says that from the first
hour of his attack the belief settled upon bis mind
that he could not recover, and bis parting with his
wife, children and friends, was deeply affecting. His
loss to society is irreparable. Ever ready and anx-
ious to find out tn abodes of wretchedness and want.
and alleviate, so far as in him lay, the sufferings of
the destitute. has reared for him in the hearts of this
community, a more indelible monument than statues
of gold or precious stones. There his memory will
bloom in eternal youth, so long as virtue has an ad-
vocate, or humanity's cause a votary.

"a guilty conscience needs no accuser," says the
proverb, and the above illustrates it. The secret cir
cular, which is thus acknowledged by the Journal,
and which we publish in this paper, was not stolen
by any ''sneaking locofoco'' from the Journal Office
nor any where else. We came by it honorably. But
if we had not, the public interest would in any event
justify its publication. 1t is always right to expose
treason or consDirocv.

SHocKTNG--We find the following article in the
Cincinnati Commercial Of Thursday:
ave learn from Col. Williamson, of Lochlond,
that a man was seized with cholera in that town on
Wednesday, and sArd in a few hours-or rather he
was pronounced oead, and the parapbernalia of
mosrning was assumed. The body was laid out and
placed in the coffin bit a few hours previous to the
sine appointed for the funeral, The DEAD man rose
from his co1in ! TO the great terror Of those around.
and walked out Of it in his shroud. He Invested
himself Of the garments Of the grave, and is now APP
parenily a well nan. 1t is needless te say that he
sent tie colin back, having no further use for IT,.

much haste in burials:"
