WORLDWIDE REPUTATION

This sort of talk, from a leading jour

one of these days Secretary Boutwell,
estimates the national debts of the
world at 29,OOO,OOO,OO The New York
Evening Post takes issue with him, and
says they are not over $50, 600, 900.
And what has the world to show for this
almost incomprehensible Indebtedness
Where are the public improvements
that it has made2 Where are the mag
ni6cent charities and endowments to lit
'erature and science that it has founded2
Not dollar has been spent in this way,
or for unitarian purpose The $2O,-
0OO,000,O00 only represent millions Of
lives lost, and the destruction Of
ten times that amount OF property, in
wars either for dynastic or for territorial
ambition. Still the people of the great
civilized States, who alone have these
debts, will be burdened to the remotest
generations with their liquidation many
times over in the shape of interest the
principal still standing the same as ever.
Shall the follies and wickedness Of kings
and princes and Of nations in the past
condemn large portion Of the human
race to beggary and starvation in the
present, and for all future time TO Gomez
These questions force themselves upon
every mind in the contemplation Of these
hideous debts. In Europe the time will
come when they will be wiped out with

to arrogate to themselves the position of
opponents Of the popular will; who are
active in manipulating caucus and con-
vention; and who frequently carry their
point by the unblushing effrontery with
which they assume to be the people.
Meantime, some simple folk look upon
these men and wonder if they be truly
as eagles among flock of smaller birds.
This is only folly. They are geese, my
son, merely geese Somebody has been

In reference to the arrival of cholera
at New York, the Cincinnati Enquirer
says: The unusual flAtulence of tele-
graphic matter is relieved this morning
by the announcement which comes from
New York to the effect that the dread
scourge, cholera, has gained firm foot
hold upon our shores. An emigrant
steamer Of the North German Lloyd
line arrived at quarantine yesterday,
bringing with her forty cases of the fear
full malady. On the passage some forty
of the ships passengers died, and many
others were sick. OF course, there is no
necessity for alarm just now. At this
season of the year the disease is not
likely to assume an epidemic form, but
we have our warning, and in good time.
Next summer is certain to bring the
pestilence upon us in full force and viru-
lence, and if we fail to set our houses in
order the blame will rest upon ourselves
and those in authority, who have the
care and guardianship of our lives.
