No Cholera In America.

SIR II am pleased to inform you
that the disease prevailing in the
cities TO the south OF us is, l am salts
fed not cholera. From an extensive
correspondence with physicians in
New Orleans, Nashville, Louisville,
etc and from q close study Of all
Of the reports, ! am convinced that IL
is only cholera morbus--the annual
return of this disease, only in q more
severe form than usual-which is due
chiefly to indlscretisn in eating and
drinking.
There is, without doubt, less
amount OF ozone in the atmosphere
than usual consequently decomposi-
ton (the generation Of carbonic and
the gases), the more readily takes
place. With this condition Of at
mosphere, and tho debilitating effects
Of the heat, meal OF premature or
sour fruit ia the only condition
necessary TO add 10 produce a severe
attack Of this cholera morhas.
The preventive is obvious; first,
use extra care in eating and drink.

rooms, dwellings, stores, shops, al

thing that will decompose and pro-

wrong. Now that they are waking

there own wrongs. And one way

who have SO long and SO grossly
betrayed our interests, will be ex-
changed for moro honest public

elect farmers to represent them, they
should be fully educated in their
duties. We have abundance of men
of necessary natural talent, but they
have not been educated and trained
to do such work. In this country it
is not right that one class should be
set apart for rulers and law makers,
but that all classes should have their
representative men, TO meet in tho
halls where laws are made, and de.
fend their rights and interests. There
are many interests now suffering and
oppressed for the reason that they
have no representative.

members Of agricultural societies to

technical rules and decisions; yet
they may pass on, and at the vital

THE FRIENDS BURIAL.

My thoughts are all in yonder town.
Where wept by many tears,
To-day my mothers friend lays down
The burden OF her years.
True IS in life, no posr disguise
Of dea.h with her is seen,
And on her simple casket lies
No wreath of blosm and green.
o not for her the florists art,
The mocking weeds Of woe,
But blessings Of the voiceless heart,
The love that passeth show.
Yet all about the softening air
OF new born sweetness tells,
And the uugathered Msy-Aowers wear
The tiats of ocean shells.
The old, ASPIRING miracle
Is fresh as heretofore
And earth takes up its parable
Of life from death once more.
Here organ swell and church-bell toll
Methinks but dissord were,
The prayerful silence Of the soul
Is best BETTING her.
,.o sound should break the Quietude
Alike Of earth and sky;
wandering wind in Seabrook wood,
Breathe but o half heard sigh
Sing softly, spring bird, for her cake,
And thou not distant sea,
Lapse lightly, as if Jesus spaker
And thou vert Galiles
For all her quiet life flowed on
As meadow streamlets flow,
Where frcsher green reveals alone
The noiseless ways they 60.
From her loved place Of pra yer see
The plain-robed mourners pass,
With slow feet treading reversntiy
The graveyarl's springing grass.
Make room. o mourning ones, for me.
Where, like the friends Of Paul,
That you no more her face shall see
Ysu sorrow most Of oil.
Her path shall brighten more aud more
Unto the perfect day;
She cannot fail Of peace who bore
Such peace with her away.
Osweet, calm face, that seemed to wear
The look Of eins forgiven.
O voice Of prayer that seemed to bear
Our own needs up to heaven.
How reverent In our midst she stood,
Or kuelt in grateful praise J
What grace Of Christian womanhood
Was in her household ways!
For still her holy living meant
No duty left undone;
The heavenly and the human blent
Their kindred loves in one.
And IL her fife small leisurs found
For feasting ear AMI eye,
And pleasure, on her daily round,
She passed unparsing BY.
Yet with her went secret sense
or ali things sweet and fair.
Aud bsauty's gracious providence
Refreshed her unaware.
She kept her line Of rectitudc
With loves unconscious ease;
Her kindly instincts understood
All gentle courtesiss.
An irborn charm Of graciousness
Made sweet her smile and tone.
And glorifed her farm. wife dress
With beauty not its own.
The dear Lords best Interpreters
Are humble souls

II moro than books or scrolls.

Louisiana.
from the Republic.1

In the June number of the Republic
we endeavored to set forth, as distinctly
and impartially as possible, the poll
tical condition of the State of Louis
lana, and we are gratitied to find that
our representation of the case has
been so generally accepted as fair and
just.
In treating of this subject we fully
recognize its vast importance to the
people of the State in question, to the
nation itself, and to each individual
citizen. Undoubtedly the principles
involved are fundamental to the very
existence of our republican system.
IF out Of this controversy shall come
a clearer perception of the nature OF
our government and more hearty
attachment to it by all the people,
this will prove good measure OF COM
pensation for the evils that have
arisen.
lii this view, while we feel the diff
Guilty and the delicacy of suggesting
remedies in the given state of circum-
stances, we are yet decidedly of opin-
ion that the subject should not be
ignored in the present juncture, but
that it ought to be discussed and set
before the people in all frankness and
candor, and with all the light of exper-
ience and reason which can be brought
to bear upon it. Conceiving such atask
to be inthe direct line of the objects and
aims of the Republic, we shall under
take it, sustained by the consciousness
that we are not engaged in mere phil
osophical political speculation, but
that we are seeking practical bene-
fit and that our labor is devoted to
the public welfare.
THE CASE UNPRECEDENTED.
The state of affairs i'll Louisiana is
novel and extraordinary. Nothing Of
like character and to like extent has
before occurred in any other State.
The condition Of Rhode Island in l841
and in 1912 presents some phases ap-
preaching to a resemblance in some
general respects In that State there
existed two organized State gov
ernments, each claiming exclusive
State authority, and OF course, III
deadly conflict. One claimed under
a British charter, which the people
! had never adopted but which had
been held by suffrance in the State

Lawyers who badger witnesses
upon the stand often get sharply cut,
and among numerous stories told at
the expense OF the bar, there is none
better than one that occurred at the
session of o court recently held in a
Western city. A prominent lawyer
had an old farmer upon the stand
whom he undertook to browbeat,
and for n hour lab0red hard to con-
fuse and frighten by his msrciless style
of cross questioning. The lawyer
had q large bald head that by a
stretch Of Imagination might be
thought to resemble . pumpkin, and
wore huge shirt collar. During his
laborious badgerine Of the old farmer,
one side of said collar wilted and lay
down on the lawyers coat. As the
witness was released, he stepped to-
ward his tormentor and said loud
enough for the court and jury to hear:
"See here, Squire, if you don't put
up your sideboard, your lose that
pumpkin off the top Of the load. ("
Smiles were audible about this time.

y pretty muss our Republican legisla-
ture has got the people into, about salaries.
1t is now claimed that the County Board
i'll Cook county had power to fix the salary
OF county clerk, and that they could, under
the constitution fix that salary at Sc. 500
while another law provides that the clerk
Of the county court in that county shall re-
ceive $4,000 year-making 80, 500 year
The salary of the county treasurer in
Sangamon county was fixed by the Board
OF Supervisors at $500 year, and that Of
hcer now claims that, as the law provides also
that he shall be county collector he is not re
quired to account Tor the fees provided by
law for the collection Of taxes and that he
is entitled TO his commissions on the entire
amount passing through his hands as COL
lector, and also to the salary fixed by the
Board Of Supervisors for the Office of coun-
~ treasurer.
These are specimens of the laundering
legislation of our Republican legislature.
The question, of course, will have to go to
the courts for final Interpretation and de-
cision.

The City Council, last evening, passed
quite a number of new ordinances, and we
believe it is their intention to adopt several
others on subjects requiring more definite
legislation, and try to so perfect the laws
of this city and publish them in the COM
pilation of laws and ordinances now being
printed that but little if any additional
legislation will be needed for some time
The printing of the book has been going
forward quite rapidly of late and is expect
ted to be completed by the close of this ad-
ministration. 1t will be very complete
carefully revised, and valuable compilation
of all State laws affecting our city organi
cation, and all ordinances in force at tn,
