closures by Fire Marshal Heiskell, Of
Baltimore. recently made public, be
correct. then Mayor Whyte has not
dissolved the Fire Board one moment
too early. These revelations charge
the Fire Board with paying excessive
prices for supplies and work, with buy

iting its favors to a family and polit-
ical co-partnershiP, composed, in large

The EASTERN PLAGUR.-The re-
ports from Egypt grow more threat
ening every day, and ii something u
not done to stay the march OF the
cholera it viii not be long before it
leaps the Mediterranean in force and
sweeps into the heart Of Europe. The
dispatches inform Us that the havoc in
Cairo Is fearful, and that the care
lessness OF those who come in contact
with the disease Is something shock
ing to contemplate. The streets are
rspressnaed 70 Ae in q misesabk co..
ditiou. the people apathetic and the
plague ferocious. 1t Is even related
that man was allowed to die in front
of one of the principal cafes. after he
had taken drink from a bottle which
others in the establishment were to
use. Instances are related of corpses
of those who have fallen victims to
the disease being stripped at the hos
pitfalls before burial and the infected
clothing distributed among relatives
to be worn. The dead are put in thin
collins and carried through the narrow
and crowded streets upon the shout
ders OfmeR, as il the ordinary progress
of cholera was not swift and sure
enough for desperate people.
If cholera does not multiply its vic
Tins there, it will be because the con-
ditions favorable to its propagation
do not exist in the people and the
atmosphere. Generally in cholera
years both are susceptible and the
plague finds ready material with
every Judgment. 1t this is so now.
as there is every reason to believe,
the deaths in Egypt will rapidly mul-
tiply from hundreds TO thousands
daily in a very brief while.
We do not believe that there is any
actual danger over here. But it will
do no harm if the people of our sea-
ports particularly Will be careful to
see to the cleanliness of their persons
and premises. THIS ought to be done
anyhow, whether cholera is dreaded
or not, since the human system is Pc
oaliarly liable TO disease in summer
anyway, and nothing conduces more
certainly TO health and comfort than
cleanliness. Cesspools should be care
fully deodorized. cellars, alleyways,
all damp and noisOme places, should
be cleaned, and every germ in them
chemically killed. Decaying vegeta-
bic matter should be promptly and
fully removed, and everything be done
to render and keep the atmosphere
as sweet and salubrious as possible.
And it will not hurt to be careful
of the diet. Overeating should be
avoided in hot weather and unripe or
stale fruit should be particularly
avoided. The digestive organs are
delicate at this season, and are so
severely tried that they do not re-
quire very violent shock to cause
cholera morbus, congestion, etc. Let
all be careful and act as if the fright
full Eastern plague was not an impos-
sible or even improbable distance
away, and they will thus succeed in
keeping it away as effectively as if the
ocean presented an impossible barrier

The RATE OF TAxATIoN.-On the
subject Of the rate of taxation in Re-
publican and Democratic counties of
Maryland, the Westminster Advocate
contends, that though Frederick
county, which is under Republican
control, has q lower tax rate than
Montgomery county, which is under
Democratic control, it does not alter
the fact shat the average tax is much
lower in Democratic than Republican
counties; ard ifa comparison be made
between Democratic Carroll and Re-
publican st. Mary's. il will reveal a
greeter difference than is shown be-
tween Frederick and Montgomery. /"
However this may be, it is unpleas-
ant to see ones county continually
quoted and paraded in the public
prints as an example thigh taxation,
besides being uncomfortable to those
who have to foot the bills and who
are without the range either of pub
lie favor or employment.

A "BURsr UP" THREATEEED.-Tn
a recent interview, Ex-Reprssentasivs
DezendOrf, the leader of the Old Line
Republicans in Virginia, declared that
the straightOut republicans of his Sec
tion have determined to throw Ma
hone and his following overheard and
t. maintain their own organization,
notwithstanding it has been abandon
ed by President Arthnr's admiuistra-
tion. In the coming Fall, Mr. Deg
endOrf goes on to say. the straightOut
republicans of Virginia will send TO
the Republican National Convention
4 strAightOut Republican delegation.
Personal and political covenants be-
tween men with honest public convic-
lions and men without them appear
to be coming to grief in almost every
section Of the country.

preference to Mr.. Tilden, who has 100
points out Of 400. Mcdonald comes
next with 70 points, then Bayard with
81 points, Hancock %, Butler 20,
Thurman II, Cleveland IL and Ran

Mr.. CARLISLE AND TIE SPEAKER
sHIP.-Friends of Mr.. Carlisle say he
has satisfactory assurances that after q
complimentary vote for Mr.. Cox most
if not all of the New York delegation
will come to him. Mr.. Carlisle il
quoted as saying himself that if an
open ballot is taken in the Democrat
ic caucus he will not have the least
fear of defeat. The secret ballot, il
adhered to. will be no uncomfortable
element in Mr.. Randall's favor, a.
there is no doubt in that event he will
get some votes which ne could moi
otherwise obtain.

letter to James @. Hollock, of Brook
Ign. N. Y, in response to some views
expressed by that gentleman to the
effect that the President has ample
authority to order the redemption OF
