A Child Run Down by the Patrol Wagon
Saved by Her Own Daring.

The Central patrol wagon dashed
furiOusly down Clark street yesterday
afternoon with the driver perched in
glory on the front seat, gathering the
gong and flashing his horse. A call had
come from that quarter to take in a
drunken man, and the driver was de-
termined to take him in in fine style. At
the Madison street crossing a 4-year-old
girl in white dress-a little runaway
thing-stopped, covering at the din,
right where the wheels would strike her
But, as the horse plunged by, the wise
midget clutched the shaft, and was borne
on safely, dangling at the horses flank.
Presently the flushed driver became
aware of her danger by seeing pale
little face staring grayely up at him. In
a moment the horse was hurled back
ward by the frightened reigns, land the
brave child was rescued. She was carried
to the sidewalk, and there she stood for
several minutes gazing soberly about at
the ring of glad faces that quickly sur
rounded her. Then her lip began to
culver, and tear trembled on her eye
lid, as she found that she was lost. But
her frightened father presently came to
calm her, and told the admirings crowd
that her name was Rosa.

The Cholera Panic.


There is no brutality like that of the
panic-struck. The deaths at Damietta
from cholera exceed 100a day, though the
population is only 10000. A Gordon OF
troops has been accordingly drawn round
the wretched town, with orders to shoot
any one found leaving it. Consequently,
every one is afraid to enter the place,
which has become a fetid prison, and
there are neither sufficient doctors, guar
dams of order, nor medical comforts. The
people live or die uncared for, relatives
are divided, business is stopped, and,
for all any one knows, the lnhab-
itants may be starving, At the same
time. any one who can bride the police
gets through; so that, if cholera We're con-
tagious, it would be conveyed, in spite OF
the cruel restrictions. 1t is believed that
the outbreak is, in the main, local: ana
Lord Granville on Tuesday read an opln-
ion from Sir William Gull, stating that he
saw little ground for alarm, as severe cpl
denies of cholera were always preceded
by small outbreaks in the previous winter
and spring. All the States of the Medlter-
ranean have published quarantine rules,
and the French and Italian papers insist
that the cholera came from bombay.
There is no ground, Lord Granville says,
for the allegations which, if true, might
be perpetually so, the great Indian cities
never being quite free of cholera cases.

On the Watch.

A sharp lookout is being kept by the
people throughout the country upon yell
low fever news, the reports from Mexico
and Cuba causing some anxiety for ada
cent American ports. There has so far
this season been no cases reported in any
Southern city, though at some of the Cult
ports and at Norfolk it has made its APP
pearance at quarantine. The belief is
now general that this scourge can be kept
away from us by rigorous quarantine,
and with that idea the quarantine at Sa-
vannah has been made very strict, vessels
with sickness aboard not being allowed
to enter the harbor at all, but are sent to
Sapelo Island Quarantine, while those from
infected ports with clean bills ofhealth are
detained at quarantine fifteen days or
longer if required by the Sanitary Board.
DR.. Mcfarland has issued an order re-
duiring all vessels from Gulf ports to stay
at quarantine during the pleasure of the
board. There is or has been some COM
plant about the restrictions put upon the
commerce of this port, butnevertheless the
regulations have been enforced without
fear or favor. New Orleans and Pensa-
cola, however, have gone from one eN-
IRENE to another, and have virtually pro-
claimed nOn-intercourse with all infected
or suspected ports, while at Norfolk it is
proposed to keep infected vessels out of
the harbor. Savannah and Charleston
are doubly protected, having the SapelO
Island Quarantine for all infected ships
and their harbor guarantees for suspected
Ships.

ADangerous Dead-Lock.


The deadlock in the New Hampshire
Legislature is in danger of lasting too
long for the good of the Republican party
i'm that State 1t has already continued
for almost the same period as the great
contest in the New York Legislature of
1881, and with less apparent reason. New
Hampshire is not such an overwhelming
" Republican State that the leaders OF
the party there can prolOng the contest
without taking risks.

Randall and His Rivals.


Joe Blackburn, of Kentucky, is conf
dent of his ability to beat Randall for the
Speakership. For the matter Of that, so
is Mr.. Carlisle and Sunset Cox, of New
York. And yet we think all three of these
gentlemen are counting their chickens a
little prematurely. Mr.. Randall is not a
gentleman much given to Boosting, but
when it comes to the practical business
of politics, engineering and pipe laying
he is second only to Uncle Sammy him.

The Real Question.

The real question now is not between
the public and the strikers, but between
the public and the corporation. Is the
company performing that service for the
public which by law it is bound to do and
to do continuously and effectively If it
is not and if for any reason it refuses or
fails to do this then it is violating the law
of It's being, and is liable in damages to
any one who chooses to bring suit; it may
oven forfeit IFS charter.

That the railways of the country are
wonderfully prosperous there can be no
question. ''The Financial Chronicle gives
the gross earnings OF 60 railroads for the
six months of 1888 ending June 30, at
S145, 29S, GAG, a net increase Of ST, 6O9,396
over the same period in 1892. In this in
crease all but 10 of the roads named par
ticipated. The growth of railroad busi-
ness is all the more apparent when ac-
count is taken of the fact that for the
first six months of 1882 the roads then re-
porting and included in this exhibit, %
i'm number, showed an increase Of $lI,-
100000, or IA per cent. over the gross
earnings of the first half of 1881. The in
crease this year is 9 per cent. over the
large increase of last year.

The President of the Louisiana State
Board of Health has made some practical
suggestions relative to sanitary matters
in New Orleans. He was led to do this
by the possibility of cholera visitation.
One of the suggestions is that the burial
of the dead within the city limits
shall cease, and that the bodies already
buried in the city shall be removed to a
place outside of the city proper. Another
suggestion, and far the best one, is that
the dead shall be cremated. The Health
officer of this city stated less than week
ago that the dead of New Orleans ought
to be disposed Of by cremation. The dead
cannot be properly buried there.
The water is within eighteen inches
or two feet of the surface. In fact, COM
paratively few Of the dead are buried
there. They are placed in tombs above
ground. 1t is estimated that at least a
quarter of million of persons are buried
in the intermural cemeteries in New Or
leans. Who can tell how much these cem-
eterles have contributed to the spread of
disease during epidemic years? Good
drainage and cremation are two things
that ought to be warmly advocated in
New Orleans.

The result of the Democratic cOnven-
tiOn at Lynchburg, Va, yesterday must
be disappointing to Malone and his
Northern admirers. The temper displayed
was admirable and the tenor of the plat
form adopted is conservative. 1t was eX-
pected and hoped by some OF the Repub-
lican organs that the color line would be
drawn. This would have driven all the
negroes to MahOne's support. The plank
adopted relative to schools must meet the
approval of all fair-minded Republicans,
white and black. Separate schools with
separate teachers and trustees are de-
manded. The negroes have no cause to
complain as long as they are provided
with good schools and allowed their own
teachers and trustees. The acceptance
of the recent settlement of the debt ques-
ton leaves the Readjuster party without
any reason for existence. The debt issue
called that party into life. That issue
is now dead, and there is no reason why
the Readjuster party shouldn't disband.
The plank cOndemning bossism is timely.
The people are tired of political bosses,
and they are especially fired of Boss
Malone. The President deserves con-
demnation for permitting Malone to use
the Federal patronage to accomplish per-
sOnal ends. and be received it.

We publish this morning the text of a
a bill, which has been prepared and sent
to our delegation in the Legislature, to
authorize the Commissioners of this
county to levy an additional tax. The
taxes which are raised under existing
laws are insufficient to meet
the necessary expenses for the
support of schools and courts, and for
the maintenance of prisoners. The Com
missiOners no doubt hesitated about
taking this step, but there is no other
way TO secure the funds necessary for the
support of the county government. Debts
cannot be contracted, and it is,
perhaps, well that they cannot.
The teachers and judges must
however, be paid, and the prisoners must
be taken care of. There are a good many
other matters, not necessary to enume-
rate, which are neglected on account of
the lack of funds. The only way out of
the difficulty is that chosen by the Com
missiOners. They went TO the Legisla-
ture for assistance only when the exist
ing condition of affairs compelled them.

The statement made by some of the pa
pers that the Western Union Telegraph
Company is losing 100000 a day on ac-
count Of the strike is all nonsense. Last
wear the gross income of the company was
about $47, 900 day, and its expenses in
the neighborhOOd of 100000 a day. The
loss, supposing that the property of the
company is suffering no depreciation,
cannot be more than $4,000 or $4,000 a
day. 1t is probable that it is not so much.
If suits for damages caused by delayed
messages are begun, however, and the
courts hold that the companyis liable, the
company's losses may be very great. One
such suit has been begun and it is proba-
bic others viii follow.
