A PARIS paper gives some particulars
of the rayages of cholera in Japan.
The epidemic appeared last April in the
district of Ehime, where the tombs of
soldiers who fell victims to it in 1877
had been opened, partly for religious
rites and pa tly for The more becoming
interment of men hastily buried during
the war. In week forty-fve out of
sixty-fve cases proved fatal, It ex-
tended to other points, and at Oska it is
not uncommon to see persons fall down
in the streets, struck by it. In July it
was reported at Toxic, the capital, and
also at Yokohama, and in some western
towns the epidemic has assumed formid-
able proportions. Up to Aug. II the
total number Of cases of cholera
throughout Japan was 1888, of which
41,915 had proved fatal, 9,789 had re-
covered, and the remainder were still
under treatment. Up to the end of
September the number had reached
100000. The Government has exerted
itself to the utmost by establishing
hospitals, forbidding the sale of unripe
fruit-which the japanese are accus-
toned to eat-and quarantine regula-
tions. These last were disregarded by
foreign vessels, and the result is that
cholera has extended everywhere, SO
that there are no longer guarantees or
lazarettos, for no purpose would be
served by them.

Bride and bridesmaids were ready,
the church was lighted and the clergy
man stood waiting, in Galveston, but
no bridegroom appeared. August Hum
morder, German youth, had dressed
for the ceremony, and then, in sheer
despair at the thought Of facing the
matrimonial music, had shot himself
through the head.-Miss Nora Griffng,
of Logansport, Ind, was to have been
married to Mr.. Lutte j. Smith. The
guests had assembled and the minister
was waiting to perform the ceremony
when q messenger handed the would

Miss Grifing, which was soon followed
by the news that she had eloped with a

declined to avail himself of the oppor-
tunity to offer formal congratulations
upon the occasion of Grants safe re-
6urn to "his country; the Governor of
Maryland kept conveniently out of
reach; and Phelps, of Missouri, was
ridiculously non-committal in what he
had to say. Alexander III. Stephens is,
as he was before the war, and always
has been since the war, the exception
in expressing the desire that ''pohticaI
differences" may not arise again to
divide the sections; the rnle is that
which Bob Toombs laid down in his
dispatch-irreconcilable sectional hat
red.
The telegram which Toombs sent will
be hailed with applause throughout the
South. In some cases it will meet with
open response; but men everywhere, in
every village and hamlet south of Mason
and Dixon's line, will rub their hands
gleefully, chuckle over it III private. and
congratulate each other in confidence.
1t is q true and hearty expression of the
Southern Bourbon sentiment. It is the
feellng OF nlnety-nine out of every
100 of the old and middle-aged
men who fought on the side of the re-
bellion and have acted with the Demo
cratic party since the war. It is the
theory upon which the young men act
who hunt down ringers for their re-
creation. 1t is the logical conclusion of
the conscious superiority and sectional
hatred which are found everywhere in
the Southern States. What is the rem
edy? Time can alone develop it with
certainty; but it is surely not to be
hoped for in permitting the control of
national affairs to lapse into the hands
of avowed national enemies.

4. The character and surroundings
of Gen. Grant himself have much to
do with the sentiment in his favor. 1t
is remembered that Gen. Grants in
stincts are right, as evidenced by his
noble conduct toward Gen. Lee at APP
pomattox and his report to President
Johnson after his tour through the
South. Tt is claimed that he was be-
trayed and misled during his admins
tration by men that he was not then
strong enough to resist or wise enough
to understand, but that now he is strong
enough to rise above any faction or
party, and would thoroughly understand
the bearings of any demonstration, per-
sonal or partisan, that might be made.
1t is held, too, that he planned and in
augurated the Southern policy of Mr..
Hayes, and that his utterances since his
retirement have been uniformly patri-
otto. It would be absurd to talk of a
Southern Democratic movement toward
Sherman, Blaine, Conkling, or, for the
past two years, toward Hayes. It is
| Grant, and only Grant, that could carry
any considerable portion of the white
Southern vote away from Democratic
moorings next year.
Col. r. A. Crawford says that the or
! ganlzatlon of Democratic Grant clubs
will begin at once, and that he has nu-
merous letters asking when the work
will be commenced. He says that these
clubs will advocate the nomination OF
Grant by the Democratic Convention,
or his support by the people irrespect-
i've of nominations. He claims that
these clubs will be much larger than
even the most sanguine expect, and

DAVIS Possibly Elected
by the People
n strong Republican MAJOR
ity in the House.
The Senate I'm Doubt but Appar'
emily Republican.
Great Rejoicing Among
Republicans !

The State election yesterday gave a
grand result for the republicans. They
went into the fight with more than $4,000
majority against them, and after the most
memorable campaign in the history of the
State have rolled off the most of that ma
jority and gained, we believe. the control
Of the State government. Beside fighting
the combined greenback and democratic
parties in Maine we have had to contend
with the full power of these combinations
in other States, which foresaw that de-
that defeat this year in Maine would be a
fatal blow to them for 1890.
Last year we had majority in but three
counties; this year we have certainly
elected the senators and county officers in
eight of the sixteen counties, with an even
chance of having carried three more when
the result is definitely ascertained. The
eight counties which we have carried give
us fifteen of the thirty-one Senator's
less than majority. We have certainly
carried Androscoggin, Cumberland, Han
cock, Kennebec, Lincoln, Piscataquis,
Ssgadahoc and Washington. If we have
carried Franklin,--ot which we feel as
sured,-we shall have majority of the
Senate but beside Franklin, the chances
are that we have carried York, and posi-
bly, Penobscot. though from the returns
thus far received, we are unable to decide
about this matter at present,
In the House the republicans have gain
ed majority as near as we can ascertain,
Of about twenty-iour votes. This at any
rate will secure us the control of that
body, and give us majority on joint bal
lot, which will enable us to elect the com
ing Executive Council and the urbordi-
nate State officers.
We think the probability is that Mr..
Davis is not elected by the people, though
he has come very close to it if he has not
succeeded. If we have a majority in the
Senate he will be sure of AN election by
that body.
The tremendous force Of this contest is
seen in the fact that in the midst of a pour
ing rain. which fell as in heavy shower
nearly all day all over the State. and in
an off-year, when there were no repre-
sentatives to Congress to be elected, ant
no senatorial question pending, the larges
