Crop reports are good and from Europe |
varv oood.-Canada is troubled with bush
aros.-The dead from the Staten Island
ferry boat disaster ia 106--The Kentucky |
election is rather a sickener for the Dem
oerats. True, they carried that State, on
Monday, but by majority 40 greatly di-
minished that their victory looks very |
like defeat True, .heir majority is 49,
900, which sounds big--but all things are
relative in this world, and it is not long
since that $4,000 majority would not have
satisfied tho Kentucky Democracy. The
change is mainly due to the incoming Of
colored voters, who know how the Demo-
Gratis feel toward them, and act accord
iugly. AS it was, thousands OF colored
voters were kept from the polls by Demo-
cratic tyranny, or the Dem ocratic major
ity would have been cut down to much
smaller figure. AS the Democrats in the
dark and bloody ground will not accept
the law as it is, measures should be taken
to coerce them to obedience. The rascals
know no other law than to force, and
they should have that served up to them,
hot and strong, and plenty Of it. They
are great on bayonets,-let them learn
from experience what pointed argu-
ments bayonets are capable of presenting.
There is no sense-but great deal of nom
sense-in dealing tenderly with such fell
lows. Southern rufianism has burdened
us with one great deb, do not let it pile
up another great debt on top of that, for
that would crush the one under the other.
The country is rich, and is fast growing
richer, but, really, what is the use of
making money only that it may be fired
away in war. To load cannon with gold
and silver, with greeubacks for wadding,
and blow them out of sight, is an amuse-
ment that can be called rich in one sense.
1T is altogether too rich for the coun-
try's stomach. There was big fight in
Dublin, last week Sunday. Some persons
sought to hold meeting to sympathise
with the Feniaus, but the police put them
down, wounding men, women and chill
dren. All houses near the fight that
showed flag in honor of the princely
visit had their windows smashed, as Mr..
-. afk In Jny oh
had "interviewed" him, there was trife
of broken glass. a number of places
visited by that party were 'gutted."
Thus a warm welcome was given to the
Prince of Wales and his attendants. Pos
sibly he and they do not quite approve ia
assumed. The Prince has left Ireland,
going to Germapy.-Advioes from the
Cape of Good Hope show that the dia-
mond fields are richer than mud. Great
discoveries are announced and all antici-
pations are much exceeded. At the
rate things are going on, men will cease
when thinking OF diamonds, to let their
minds run upon Brazil and Golconda.-
Democratic journals are getting up terri
BILE time over recent political action of the
Republicans in Charleston, Is. CO. SO that
one would infer from their crazy reports
that the Palmetto town had been in such
state as it knew in 1860, when their
convention of fnnkies met there to plot
for the destruction Of the Union, unless
there should be an absolute and uncondi-
tional surrender made to slavery. Demo
Gratis do not like to sec republican process
sions tramping through the streets of
city in which Secession was bsgot, born,
brought.up, and wet-nursed with whis-
key till it commended on almost equal
terms with the nation. 1t hurts the feel
ings of the sensitive souls to see such
"desecration" of the home of their idol.
That's what's the matter with 'em. They
feel like the Norman Sir Reginald Front
de Bout, when the Saxons were burning
him in his bed, and be couldn't strike q
blow at the serfs who were "on the ram
page" What q shocking thought it must

and cases Of it have occurred in Southern
France-and it is believed that some have
occurred in England. The Indications
are that it will thrive, and if Americans
are wise they will so act as to prevent it
becoming established in their country.
We do not believe 1t is possible to keep it
out of this country, for it is an air.walker,
and there are no available quarantine reg
ulations for the governance of the myster-
ious region that lies just above the solid
earth but we are firm in the faith that
1t can be starved off, very soon after its
arrival in any country. Cholera fattens
on filth, just as in filth it originates Give
it no food and it dies out, instead of kill
ing human beings. Live clearly in the
