President Gowan, of Reading, states that
at no period in the roads history has the
company been so near sold out of coal as at
the present, and that the story circulated
here and in Philadelphia yesterday that the
receivers had defaulted in some payment
now due was false. He says that Jersey will
not only pay its way, but will be q source of
revenue to the Reading company the first
year.
The general manager of the Wabash tele-
graphs that the freight business is immense,
averaging $1,000 cars per day.

Democrats control the administration of
public affairs in the City of New York. A
series of frauds were brought to light, some
months since. in the Controllers Office. As q
result, there have been several Investigations
that have not investigated. The Star, lead
Ing Democi attic newspaper. has been moved to
declare that 3ihe doors seem to be shut aud
barred" against Inquiries going to show how
amuch money has been lost, by whom it was
taken, through what means the dsfalcation
was consummsted, whether the culprit had
saccomplices and who they were, on whom
arests the responsibility of the loss and the
condition of things that made 1t possible"

warehouses. With 80 good system as this,
with ample larbor room for its enforcement,
and with experienced officials to exercise u
vigilant supervision over all the details, New
York is well protected against the approach OF
peStilence from the sea.
Cholera, however, is the most dexterous
blockade-runner that ever sails the seas. IL
sometimes defies even the best system or
quarantine and on this account, even If there
be no chance of its approach by land, the SAM
tary authorities of the city ought not to neg
lect any precautions, but be in readiness for
the dread visitation. New-iork will always
have one striking advantage in n struggle with
the Asiatc scourge. 1t does not depend for its
water supply upon wells or csterns, which in
Eastern countries when cholera is raging
speedily become contaminated and directly
promote the spread of contagion. Its Croton
comes from long distance and cannot become
contain mated, and this season, at least, there is
a fair supply of it, so that the first requisite
for a system of preventive measures is not
lacking. Whatever may be the nature and
origin of cholera, it will breed most rapidly
where there is dirt aud the best way to pre-
pare for its coming is to scour the tenement
districts and clean the streets. There is reason
to believe that the sanitary authorities are al
ready making Efforts to improve the general
hygenic condition of the city. Their vigilance
and energy ought to be unremtting.

NOTHING no SLY.

LISA significant fact that the Democratic
press of the State has substantially nothing to
cav by way of explanation defence, when
confronted with the fact that the Legislature OF
| 1883 declined to act upon any of the valuable
suggestions made by the Tax Commission of
1881. To have passed the bills outlined by
the Commissioned non partisan Commission,
be it remembered-would have been to save
the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dol
lars. Judge Van Colt, the intelligent and trust
worthy chairman of the Commission, has ex-
pressed the opinion that if all the bills pro-
posed or suggested by the Commission had
been passed the revenue from the various
sources thus opened would have been sufficient
! to deiray all the expenses of the State Govern
ment.
This point is not met. 1t cannot be met. The
tax rate fixed by the last Legislature IL 1925, as
against 2.45 the year previous. Was 1t neces-
sary thus to increase the tax rate ! Democratic
apologists say that it was, and then 20 on to
remark that last fall the people voted that tho
canals should be free. Well, the people did ;
and the State is obliged to bear the expenses
of keeping them free. There ia no question on
that point But why were not these bills re-
commended by the Tax Commission nassed,
thus putting money into the Treasury to take
tue place OF money taken out for free canals
What answeri Was this Democratic LegiSla-
ture incapabloi Or were there influences at
work IN the Senate and Assembly which were
hostile to tue billsY Or does the Democratic
party owe the farmers Of the State grulgs,
seeing that farmers as a rule are Republicans
We hardly expect to have these questions
answered Democracy will find it much easier
to maintain silence in regard to the bills and
devote itself to undisputed assertions IN refer
ence to the necessity of paying for free canals.
But the people understand. And because they
understand Democracy will be defeated this

POPULATIONS FOB CHOLERA.

Each days budget of cable dispatches con-
tans ru,nors of the outbreak of cholera in
Europe. The latest reports come from Vale,
and the London Docks, and also from Rostov,
Russian town north OF the Sea of Azov and
not far from AstIakhan, which was tho Euro
pran starting point of cholera in 1S17. These
rumors, like those which have preceded them,
are premature and ought not TO excite serious
alarm. Sporadic cases closely resembling
cholera, which in ordinary years would not at
tract attention, will be reported from various
quarters of Europe in consequence OF the pre-
yailing excitement and their Importance will
be greatly exaggerated. Nevertheless, with
the terrible rate of mortality now recorded ia
Cairo, there is every reason to believe that the
contagion will be communicated to the settle
ments along the Suez Canal and also to Alex
andria. and that the disease will appear on the
European Continent and in Great Britain dur
ing the autumn. The quarantine boards and
sanitary authorities throughout tho United
States ought to act upon the assumption that
any day it may become necessary to protect
the community from European pestilence.
The quarantine boards are expected to be
constantly on their guard against yellow fever,
which is always raging either in the West ln-
dies or in Central America and Brazil. We
are glad to observe indications of unwontea
activity at New Orleans, Newport News, Phil
adelpha and other exposed points. The vigil
ance and skill required for keeping Yellow
Jack at distance will answer the chief de-
mands of safety In the case of cholera. New
York is the most exposed point on the
board, and IA the largest centre of population
ing place for either yellow fever or cholera.
We think it safe to say that there is no other
port of entry in America, and probably not one
in Europe where greater degree of vigilance
is exercised or where more thorough system
of quarantine has been organized. DR.. Nc
Cartney, who enforces the regulations of the
Board at the lower quarantine station, is enc
of the most experienced and efficient officers in
the service. Ample accommodations are found
at Dix and Swinburne islands for sick aud con-
yalescenl patients, and the hospital ship is
large enough for temporary use. Ships from
ports where contagious or epidemic diseases
are prevailing ara not detained 30 long as they
were under old-time regulations, but the
system il more thorough. A ship on which
sickness Is reported is fumigated no fewer than
four times before II Ia allowed to come up to
the city. The cargo is taken out at the quar-
antine wharves by Ightermen, who are not
allowed to leave the island, and IL thoroughly
disinfented before 1T IL sent I'D the bay to the

lie affairs in Chicago. A correspondent oil ihe
CHICAGO Journal makes the point against
Mayor Harrison, of that city, that he ignores
the State law providing for raising revenue
by taxing saloons, and that consequently he
has cut down the amount that ought 10 lie
obtained from tbeliquor traffsc over ST, 0oo,OOo.
"Such actions" adds the indignant writer,
aare degrading, and ought to arouse every
sman who does not wish to he trampled upon
@by petty local government run by whiskey
| and beer"
Democrats control the administration OF pub
lie affairs in Cleveland. The Herald of that
city, states that the small taxpayer whose
q sum total of taxation at the last settlement
"was SO will under the present levy be COM
spelled to pay $40, when he visits the court
house. three or four months from now. And
" this in spite of the fact that $3.50, 900 has been
"paid in from the tax on the liquor traffic. A
Democratic administration has increased the
"taxation one dollar in every nine."
Democrats control the administration of pub
lie affairs in Albany. Democrat lately re-
signed the Office Of Mayor of that city, pre-
ferring to surrender rather than to stand
trial at which 1t would have been demonstrated

upon the ballot-box. Mayor Swinburne, who
was elected and who is now looking closely
into city affairs, in veto message which he
lately addressed to the Democratic Common
Council, used this strong language: We have,
" as you are aware, prospect OF largely in-
creased and excessive taxation, very much
@larger than was ever known before to any
" well governed people. -. No party zeal, no
"political loyalty, indeed, no amount OF patrl-
y otism can enable any one to uphold such
burthen unless they have larger resources
"than most of u.s."
Such is the character of the record that the
Democratic party is now making for itself IN
four of the leading cities OF the country. In
New-Ycrk, neglect to probe great robbery.
In Chicago, defiance of the laws of Illinois Tor
the sake of standing solid with the sample
rooms. In Cleveland, increase of taxation In
face of increased revenues. In Albany, tax
alton very much greater than was ever known
to any we'll governed people.
And yet this is the party that sits up nights,
Just now, to demand with well-simulated relig-
ious fervor that the Republican party must go.
