but are decidedly not in favor Of prohibition.
OF the attitude of the Germans, he says
"The Germans must know that they will,
"perhaps gradually, but none the less effect
"ually, force the Republican party to make the
Temperance question political issue. That
sis just what their fanatical enemies desire,
I" and if such an end must come they cannot Tor
"a moment suppose that the Republican party
"will not draw the lines firmly and make the
" issue one not to be misunderstood"
The issue in Ohio is not prohibition, or any
form of prohibition. but just and equitable
taxation of the liquor traffic. The Democrats
have very fOolishly rushed in in opposition to
any restriction or taxation whatever. and are
doing more than the temperance advocates
themselves to force prohibition issue. We
quite agree with Mr.. Sherman that majority
of the people Of Ohio are in favor OF restriction
and taxation. 1t will be we'll for the Germans
and others interested in the liquor traffic to
realize that they can gain nothing by an
alliance with the Democrats. They must be
able 10 see that the success OF such an alliance
this year would arouse such hostility that the
adoption of sweeping prohibition amend
ment would only be a question OF time. The
people of the State will not tolerate suprem-
acy composed of Democrats and rumsellers,
such as is now sought by the Democrats. In
a fight on that question the whole Republican
party would be found on the side of the people.
They could take no other position. The
liquor interests must decide for themselves
whether they will consent to restriction and tax
alton, rs the Republicans demand, or whether
they will refuse and invite total destruction.

THE EENEILP CASE.

What is the truth of this story of young
Kenealy7 1t is easy to read and dismiss it
with sigh of pity for the "pOOr devil" but is
# TO be so dismissed The statement made is
that Kenealy was sentenced tor grand larceny,
released on parole on account of good conduct,
on condition of reporting once month that
he conducted himself in a thoroughly credit
able manner until he was enraged by the taunts
of iail-bird from a man named llalpine, and
struck him. IIalpine reported him as having
broken his parole, and Kenealy to escape arrest
enlisted in the Marine Corps. Halpine ferreted
him ont and had him arrested. H1 WAS sen
fenced to the Elmira ReformatOry, from which
he had been released, on which he resisted
begging to be shot instead, and when quiet
made certain grave charges against this re-
formatory.
It will be said, doubtless that Kenealy is a
worthless rufian, and that his charges are not
worth attention. But there are reasons which
seem to indicate THAI the matter should be
thoroughly investigated. Let us have, not
only the counter statement of the Elmira
officials. but that of the Board of Charities. as
10 the management of that institution, and the
chance in it for u poor lad who is anxiousy
striving to rehabilitate himself. Such examina-
tions are difficult to make, we are aware. Not
orly prison officials but tho Board of Charities
and the Prison Association, both of which We're
founded for the very purpose of investigating
sucb abuses, seem too often inclined to cover up
anv defects of management, injustice or cruelty
fran the public. But when investigations
have been made they have invariably been OF
use to the prisoners and to the taxpayers, who
do not give their money for the purpose of
supporting bad men III reformatores whence
thew are sent out more confirmed criminals than
thew went in. Let us have the bottom facts
about Kenealy.

ASI4TIC CHOLERA.

The recent scare in England about cholera has
been appeased by the discovery that the sole ground
for the rumor of it outbreak in the Red Sea was a
solitary case which appeared on n ship which
arrived at Aden with some four hundred pilgrims
for Mecca. The case is supposed to have been
sporadic, which is probable enough considering the
usual condition OF ships laden with pilgrims on the
road to Mecca. The quarantine imposed on all
vessels coming through the Suez Canal was relaxed
through English influence in favor of British trans
ports This produced violent outbreak ofolndigna-
ton in the French press. which recalled the fact
that the work of the International Sanitary Com
mission in which fourteen Powers, including the
United States, Join is to defend Europe from the
cholera, and that until now, its edlcts have been
obeyed PerhdOus Albion, according to the Paris
journals, " is about to inilict a plague upon the
world rather than hamper her commercial interests
for Il day." She would poison Europe for few
pounds sterling' screams NJ ROchefort In the
meantime the disease has broken out at Tangiers.
In Manila at the first of this month the deaths
reached three hundred daily, while in one OF the
Philippine Islands there 1000 deaths in two
weeks.
A curious theory has just been advanced in Eng
land by a scientific physician which has not tended
to quiet the alarm. 1t is that the great outbreaks OF
this plague in Europe and this country have oc-
Cured at intervals of sixteen or seventeen years
as in 1917, 1893, 1850 and 1866. Between these
great attacks of the epidemic there were minor re-
turns of it, occurring at intervals of six years after
the more fatal visitatons namely, in lS37 and 1901
According to this prophet, most destructive
prevalence OF this pestlence is due in England ana
the States in 1889 83. The prediction seems plausi-
BILE enough Thought reminds us too forcibly OF the
old superstition concerning this plague. that it

The sudden collapse of Arab leaves the
swelling Irish army which was forming in this
country to aid him, without a job. The last we
heard of 1t recruiting was going forward very
rapidly and the moment was thought to be near
ut hand when blow would be struck which
would not leave anything of England to speak
of. Arab was extolled in the Irish press as the
hero who was CALAMITY UNFOLDING the No-Rent
banner in Egypt" and every son of Ireland was
exhorted to lend all the help in his power. Eng
lands calamity was Heland's opportunity, and
