THE CHOLERA.


From the n Y Tribune Of July 2.
None IF the discoveries OF this century,
when its records are arranged III the per-
sp-ctive Of history. will appear ~ of
more valne TO mankind than that OF the
means of arrestingth the spread OF Cholera
The magnitude of the peril from which
this and futnre generations have been
delivered cannot be q. er estimated. The
number of lives lost by cholera, before
sanitary science acquired the means for
meeting and destroying 1t. ia calculated
to have exceeded the entire population OF
the United States. Bnt no statistics can
r.prese, thu. snm of human misery III
which this enormous loss of life was but
a single factor; the fear, the want, the
ruin that overlook the survivors, and
marked certain years rs among the
III, clt At in men 5 memories.
Thu, discovery of the means of arrest
ing cholera was no: an accident. II was
not IL sudden inspiration of genius. 1t
was the elaborate result of the slow. pa
iient, painstaking methods OF modern
indurtive science: counting, measuring.
weighing, recording, comparing; hc-
cumulating facts and statistics; dedncing
general laws from abundant obs. rv'ttlons.
and attempting experiment only where
previous knowledge opened the pathway
In the epilemics of 1S32-34 the fact
was established that by prompt and mi
versal attention throughout IL cnmmunlt,
TO the prenonitory symptom-fhe
diarrhHa-the fatality of TIL disease
could be largely diminished. That filthy
surroundings and lad personal habits
facilitated the attack of cholera. was rec
ounized as a general fact, but its peculiar
Significance scaI cely was suspected.
SnmeIhing was also ascertalnrd as to the
circumstances under which the disease
was communicat. d in 81 me instances and
not in others. En- $3.50 the result
WAS definitely established that the disease
was communicable by f nj drainage. and
the fact that the drinking water of ii large
community might thu. he infected was
ascertained. 1t was then noted that
cleansing processes, IN connection with
improved drainage. diminished the lia-
biIIty to discuss in certain localities. 1t
WAS not till the advent of the disease in
1915 that DIR William Budd of Bristol
England. seems to have fully appre-
hended the chief characteristic of the
epidemic. He declared that it WAS
chiefly pronogated by the excremental
fluids of those who were sick with the
disease.
The method of propagation being
known, it became q comparatively easy
problem to preyentit it. OBVIOUSLY per-
iect cleanliness which should purify
earth, air and water, and every surround
ing of human abodes. constituted the
direct means to attain the object. The
free. prompt. thorough use of disinfect-
ants was found to stamp ont" cholera.
Wherever good sanitary regulations were
enforced. in 1865 6, the epidemic was at
once arrested. 1t can make no Roadway
against cleanliness, copperas and carbolic
acid.

TIE PRINTING or Tur uIonp

"Thc question Of printing the debates Is again
before Congress. At tue last session the Com
mittee on Printing was authorized to advertise

vented Is by the failure Of Congress to act on It's

We have no idea as to what the present

to do. II Is true, Us the Times says, that they
have made no bid for the work, aud IL Is
equally true, we suppose, that II Congress
should fail to take action upon 1t. own proPo-

natural order OF eyouts, again fall into their

THE SEWING MACHINE FOOL.

A New York reporter, who interviewed Mr..
Lucius Lyon, Of the Finkls and Lyon Sew
ing Machine Company, states upon the au-
thority Of that gentleman that they have
levied an assessment Of $4,000 apiece upon
each of the six leading companies, making
an aggregate Of over s4O0, 600, to be used as
a lobby fund In this city to secure an extern
sion Of their patents. We do not place the
most unbounded faith In this statement,
especially rs tho names Of two gentlemen
whom we know to be incorruptible arc dis
honorably connected with IL. Our mind,
however, Is made up upon one point, that
these patents ought not to be renewed. II
they are, 1t will be q direct robbery Of the
poorest and most needy classes Of our people.
The original Patontecs are all, or nearly all,
dead, and the business, amounting annually
to the enormous sum of thirty million dollars,
Il In the hands Of rich capitalists, who are
rcaping rich harvest from the results of
other mems genius. The renewal Of the
patents will simply be a legal robbery Of the
poor for the benefit Of rich monOpolists.

ApOpular error among certain class ofreaders
Is that but few people read advertising columns.
Now, some read only the political department,
some the local department and some the mlscel.
hncous as their favorite columns, but as a rule
nearly all read the advertisements. Our commu.
nifty Is business community. Each has some.
thing TO sell or buy, or Is interested In one
else who Is so situated, and hardly any portion
Of the paper Is so Interesting TO him. or In which
he cylnces so much curiosity, aud the running
comments OF an old and well-posted citizen, as
he reads the announcements Of who Ia selling

THE ARGUMENT IN SENATOR CALD-
WELLS CASE.

The question presented by the counsel OF
Senator Caldwell to the Committee on Priv
legcs and Elections lie one upon which the
Senate has not heretofore been called upon "
make au authoritative decision, aud conse-
Quenty Is one Of great interest. 1t Is as
serted, in the argument presented yesterday
mOrulns, and maintained with great ability
that under the Constitution and laws as they
now stand the Senate has no lawful power to
punish one of their number for bribery In Sc
curing Ills election, either by expulsion or by
declaring his election illegal that the SEN
ute, neither In the exercise Of legislative
power nor Of quasi judicial functions, in judg-
ing Of tic elections Of Its members, Is above
the Constitution, but that In both cases the
measure OF It's righful authority Is to be
found IN that instruments that all the pow
crs Of every branch and division Of the Gov
ernmcnl must be derived thereirOm, either
from the express language therein employed
or by necessary Implication.
These propositions may he considered in-
contrOyertible, but tho difficulty lies in their
applications and the argument before us is
au attempt to solve the problem.
II is cOntcnded that the Senate, In deciding
upon 1.-The elections" Of its members, Is as
much bound by the law by which the body
wac created as Is any other branch OF the
Government in the exercise OF Its functions,
or us the Senate itself must be in deciding
upon tho returns" and qualifications OF
its members No one would contend that In
considering tue returns or qualification"
Of Senators other essentials than those
prescribed by the Constitution and the laws
made In pursuance thereof could lawfully be
required. Upon what theory, then, can II be
reasonably claimed that IN determining the
elections" Of lis members the body Is a law
unto itself that In amy given ease, after
the occurrences have transPlred, this or that
thing, not heretofore denounced US q Grim
lnal or void act by any written or unwrltten
law, shall defeat an eloctionl
The position taken by the counsel Is, that
In Judging Of the election Of Mr. Caldwell
thg Senate can rlghtfully inquire whether
any then existing law was violated, and, If
20, inhicI the proper punishment or declare
the legal Tcsulr but that 1t cannot make
the law and then proceed 10 enforce Il. The
Congress has power 70 make the law not the
SHdts. Admit such q power and you admit
