The cholera is reported to have
found its way to London, being
brought over by some stowaways
secreted on board a French vessel.
The report has created great panic
in that city and caused the most rigid
sanitary measures. The season il
now so far advanced it is not believ'
ed it will reach this country but
the fact that seasons of cholera In
Europe are charactirizid by an in
crease of other epidemies and disease

most careful and, thorough cleanli'
ness and rigid sanitary conditions to
be exacted BY the sanitary autnori

Among other signs Of progress the
effort to educate the masses in the old
world is noteworthy. This is especi'
ally true in its application to England.
As a nation, we have led England and
other European countries in common
schools. Less than forty years ago,
Eoglsnd had hardly the semblance of
a common school, while for two hun
dred years we have devoted marked
energy to their promotion. 1t has
been said, providence sent the
pilgrim fathers around through Hol
land to find the School House" They
were apt scholars, and far outstripped
their teachers. Our common school
system is one of our great glOries. 1t
is DOW reacting with great force upon
England, and will ultimately produce
the greatest results The parish
school under church supervision
proved itself inefficient, and is giving
way to the more comprehensive and
general system adopted by US. The
old prejudices yield slowly, but the
moss of age will not save them, and
humanity will rejoice in their demise.

The utter depravity and hypocrisy
Of American politics is receiving the
most glaring expose in the present
campaign, and revealing the fact that
party policy and petty place seeking
are tar morelimportant considerations
than patriotism, popular need or ma
tional well being. While we have
parties, and parties contending, pro-
fessedly. for some great general prin-
ciple and expressing the most bitter
hostility towards all factions differing
from them in regard thereto. We
find them in different localities, drop
ping out of sight these great principles,
and making common cause with their
bitterest foes if thereby they believe
they can overcome the popular will
and divide the spoils of Office among
themselves. In Kansas we, witness
the dominant party divided against
itself, one part being in favor Of the
enforcement of the statutory Law and
the other against it. And we find
the democratic party, in order.to gain
power and Office at home, placing at
the head of its ticket, q man who is
leader Of the law; defying. portion
of this dominant party, and who is en-
gagged in an active campaign against
the democratic national ticket, and
amid a wild hurrah these factions
ioin hands. In Iowa the democracy
finds congenial fellowship with the
