A Short History Of Cholera.

In view Of the appearance OF cholera In
France, the following short history of tho
disease will prove timoly. The origin OF
the dread scourgc is unknown, but It's cS-
islcncc Is notch rs long ago rs 400 u. {.
by lIippocratcs, who traced It's advent into
Greece to India, and by Galcn in \. ID.
l3l. Since the year 1856 1t has been noted
that the cholera breaks out In India on
the occasion Of the twclyc-ycarly pill
grimagcs to the ilindoo temples. The
attention of English physicians was first
specially directed to It In 1917, when lt
appeared in most ylrulcnt form In Jcs-
sore, Bengal. From then until lSJl IL
gradually approached the European sea-
board, and was thence transmitted TO the
United States by immigrants, extending
with greater or less havoc as far Wcst ~
Chicago, and South to New Orleans, in
which city 5000 perishcd out Of popula-
ton OF $4,000. In 1913 IL was again
brought TO the United States by immi-
grants In ship which arrived ut New
Orleans from IIayrc. This terrible foe to
humanity is always present In one couh-
try or another, ana It's present mcnaclhS
front will do doubt stir up the health OIL

propagator Of the disease, and In guard

a strictly scientific standpoint, which re-

In the columns, side by side,

What fine irony is this
That shades with death or nuptial bliss,
That blends beneath our earnest gaze
The story Of two wond'rous days.
The kiss OF death, OF blushing bride,
Sarcastic blend Unmarried, Died
Throbbing breast Of heart that bleeds,
fearful, bright or dull eyes reads
Lines whose message is not clear
blurred and broken through tear;
Lily fingers, hand OF age.
Trace the lines along the page;
Death and Cupid, side by side,
Snort with man in-Marricd, Died.
Here q requiem, there n song,
Blend and roll their notes along;
Village bells that ring or toll
Greet glad or passing soul;
To the chanccl call the crowd,
Clad III satin. gown or shroud.
To the church we twice may ride:
Need the headlngs-Marricd, Died.
Hoist the anchor, sail away;
Summer winds or sunlit bay
Lure thee DER the outer bar,
Where the white-capped breakers arc;
Staunch thy painted shallop be,
Strong to ride life's restless sea,
God shall rule the surglng tido.

So near the stories-Marricd, Died.

The City,s Green Places.

Numbers of persons find employment at
the present season Of the year in working
with their scythes and lawn mowers in the
many beautiful parks aud reservations for
which Washington city has such an enyiable
notoriety. The parks are beginning to show
their spring charms, and never appeared to
better advantage than they do this season.
The wornout and bald places are being freshly
sodded, and the grass looks as smooth and
even as an emerald-hued carpet. The trees
are budding finely, and. together with the
chirruping birds and bright sunshine, produce
a rcvivifying effect upon the deniaens OF the
district who havo had their feelings for 50
long time depressed by the continued dark

tion. Mr.. Watson, realizing that the
action Of Union county decides the
contest for the nomination, has
gracefully withdrawn, in a man
ly card, which We publish in
another column. This card IL
both proper and timely and does
great credit TO Mr.. Watson, for it
shows 10 he thoroughly unselfsh
in his fealty and devotion to the
Democratic party. Mr.. Watson is
Young and can well afford to wait
his turn for party honor and dis
tinction, for We doubt not his
ability and services will not be
forgotten or neglected. In Judge
Morgan, the Democracy will have
model candidate-of whom we
believe they will have reason TO be
proud. As the Judge well and
truly says, in his card. "the final
contest will not be ehild's.play."
The rac between Judge Morgan
AMI Gen. Chalmers will he close
and interesting, and we doubt If
either side will have many votes
TO spare. Both gentlemen are able
aud popular, and each will spare
NO effort 30 secure success. There
is no more popular Democrat in
this District than Judge Morgan,
aud II has been the Stars belief
for two years that he is the man
TO defeat Gen. Chalmers; nor shall
we believe this an erroneous opin.
ion until conyiu ced to the contra.
ry by facts and figures. We think
Judge Morgan will not only have
the full Democratic vote but will
make substantial gains from the
opposition.

Mr. Blaino's letter Of acceptance
il very lengthy, being composed Of
over six thousand words, lie do
votes about twothirds Of the letter
10 q discussion of The tariff, which
he attempts 10 make the leading
issue Of the campaign, while, M a
matter II fact, there is little, II
any, difference between the Demo
cratic and Republican platforms
on this question. This document
il Disappointing he presents no
new Jr convincing arguments for
retaining the Republican party in
power and the great and only
issue, that Of reform and honest
government, is almost wholly ig-
nored. But tho people Of the Uni.
ted States cannot be duped, or di-
vcrted from the issue Of change
and reform in the Government by
Mr.. Blaine's cunningly construct
ed and laborcd effort to deceive
and mislead by lauding protection,
upholding burdensomo taxation,
defending tho enormous accumu-
lation Of surplus revenue, and Ell
logizing all the policies and prin-
ciples Of the Republican party.
The Republican party, having
been in power twcnty-four years,
has become hopolcssly corrupt and
dsmoralizcd, and tho voters Of the
country are determined to have n
change and a reckoning. II the
Republican party is 10 remain in
definitely in control, we may as
well change the forln OF our gov
ernmcnt, abolish the republic, and
establish a monarchy. II remains
to be demonstrated whether Of. not
the Republican party can be dis
lodged by ~pcaccablc methods, for
the longer they are in the longer
they wish TO stay. The time is at
hand for a change, a majority OF
the people are eager for II, and we
think the signs Of tho times prom.
Use IL almost with certainty. The
Republican party will die hard
but reform and honest government
demand that il should go, and W,
believe the people will enforce The
mandate.
