From the Ohio Statesman.
Printers and the Cholera.

Tie Board of Health of Cleveland, in giving an
account of the of cholera in that city the I'd
inst, note the following;
"a boy was received into the Hospital last evening
from Rose Alley in the stage of collapse-still v-
ing"
In remarkng on this case, the Cleveland Herald,
under the head, Humane and Heroic !" saws:
''Tbe boy mentioned in the report of the Board of
Health was found by young printers last
ing, lying on the ground, nothing on but shirt and
pantaloons, and in great distress They kindly in
quired into his condition, learned that he had been
swimming in the lake, could get further, and had
laid down TO die. hand cart was obtained by the
boys which they lifted the sufferer and conveyed
him as carefully as possible to the Hospital.
"Many would have fled from the stricken
phan-but these lads with courage and humanity
nobly did as they would be done by"
Judging the printers Of Cleveland by those of Co.
lumbus, though the conduct recorded above high
ly praseworthy, it is nothing more than would
have expected.
When first the cholera broke out in this city, sew
eral persons were lacked, and great the
alarm that many could not procure help. Victor
Trevitt Ben. Lincoln and Joseph Dillon, printers then
employed in this Office, dropped everything and went
TO their assistance and their conduct was followed By
others, and our Office nearly depopulated by the
journeymen being engaged, without fec or reward,
in the consciousness Of performing their duty, In
nursing the sick. The two former had death
amid the fasn OF musketry aud the charges OF urea
cay airy the field Of San Jacinto, and they feared
it not in the house of af1ction when life was TO be
saved. Day after day, and night after night, were
these engaged in minisering to the wants of the
sick and the distressed, and by their kind and prompt
attention, several lives, we have good reason for be-
levng, were saved. In the performance of their du-
ty which they deemed they owed to their elIow-men,
no danger could appal them.
During the tine the cholera most fatal, the
printers Of the Statesman Office at the call of all
who needed their services.
Besides Lincoln Dillon and Trevitt. Messrs. Nor
gan, Blake and others rendered important services.
Our indefatigable carrier, too, (Alr MeCamish,)
though printer, yet for his devotion should have
been one, was ever ready 10 assist, and performed
more than Doctors service. He fortunately had LIE
experience of 1888. when the cholera ragged frst m
Columbus and then made himself a name for his at
tention to the sick and the destitute, and that fame
suffered not by his conduct during the present
mer.
During the past month, both Morgan and Trevit,
were attacked with the disease incurred in
ton in attendance the sick, but both happily re-
covered-ihe others escaped the disease. Men who
will thus act the christian part should be remembered
and appreciated.

The Suh.TreasurY.

The Washington Republic has an article or two
every day. about the apprehended loss of Sl55 COO of
government money, by Mr.. DENLY, U. s. Agent at
Maselles, in consequence Of the failure of Mr. Os-
borne of Richmond, Va. We are quite willing that
'ery such dsacariUn loss should be exposed in all
its deformity, and the blame made to rest where it
belongs Blame there must he,-perhaps in more
places than Let the lash be applied, and the
law be enforced against the sureties of the delinquent
And if fraud or yllany be proved against any of
the partics let them suffer as they deserve.
81 far, we respond 10 the sentiments of the Repub
lie. But whel il seeks, on narrow basis TO build
argument against the SubTreasury, it fails of its
object entirely. We know of no way by which money
be drawn from the Treasury and applied to public
objects, without being passed through somebody's
hands In this respect the Sub-Treasury system does
not differ from that which preceded it. 1t may be
better guarded, or it may not. One two losses
have occurred since il went into operation, through
the unathfulness misapplied confidence of agents
and many occurred before from the same cause Here
then is ground Of boasting on either side. Under
any system, receiving and disbursing officers must be
employed, and under any system of them may
prove dishonest incompetent. Under any system
the sureties may be found insufficient &c.
But this is good reason why the public none,
should not be guarded from loss in other ways. Tht

depreciation of bank and the failure of banks
These entirely obviated under the Sub-Treasur,
system. The extent of the public loss from thes
sources, will be seen by the following statement de

good deal of indistnct terror about actors and act

so bad "to let ratlesnakes and tigers go at large %

thought themselves liberal, supposed that the theat-

very bad, but they carried with them "retinue
