CHOLERA is increasing at Toulon
and Marseilles alarmingly. The re-
suit of DR.. Koch's Investigations, pub
lished in the dispatches this morning,
will be of deep interest to the scientific
reader. It will be seen that the micro
scope reveals the identity of the dis
ease now raging in Toulon, with that
which prevailed in Egypt and in India.
The microbes which Koch saw in the
Toulon disease infested the intestions.
His prediction that the cholera
will spread in Europe is a melancholy
one, which will, however, be accepted
by the scientific. 1t is notable that
the revelations of DR.. Koeh's micro
scope at Toulon, have eyerlastingly
knocked the spots out of the old hum
bug and pacifier of nervous people
fumigation, at least in SO far as regards
cholera.

SOME of the newspaper correspon-
dents have set themselves up as cen
sors. They are hardly more successful
in that role than in journalism-and
dismal failure is the result. When
one undertakes to keep the press of
Texas to its work, in the proper dis
charge of its duty to the executive and
people, one must not tarry too long at
the tawney cup of beer, else his work
becomes muddy and no one will trem-
BILE over it. 1t is astonishing that the
world doesn't seek out and reward
these embryotic Greeleys, BENEFITS
and Bowles' in some more fitting way
than it has as yet done. There's a
heap of journalistic sweetness wait
ing on the desert air these days, and in
Austin at that.

The statements as to a strike in
this Office on Saturday is all the sheer
est nonsense, positively false in fact
that published by the San Antonio
Express particularly so. Three prin
tiers were discharged for good and
sufficient reasons, one other, being a
brother Of one Of the discharged men,
went out, not gripping our force in
the least. In fact notwithstanding
the discharge of the three men, we
had larger paper Sunday morning
than usual, the Express to the con-
trary etc. Just why such statements
should be made out of whole cloth we
fail to see, or why reputable news
paper should take the statement of
one side alone when that of the other
could have been had with so little la
Dor. 1t is to be construed into that sort
of hostility which would stoop very
low to work in It's spite.

THE Bellows Falls Times of last week
saws the Londonderry SITTER "noml-

county SENATOR" This is not so. The
Londonderry SITTER is not in the NOM
mating business. And why the Times
should make any such statement Is be-
yond comprehension. =
Here is what the SITTER did say and
all it said, editorially:
"In a business letter addressed to the
SITTER, the writer suggests the name
of O. r. Garfield. Of Townshend, for
State Senator from the north end. This
suggestion is a good one, certainly
worthy of thought and consideration.
Mr.. Garfield is level headed farmer Of
much ability, and has no axe to be
ground by any corporation, monopoly
or politician, and would thoroughly
represent the people without fear OF
favor.
Let the suggestion go out. These are
DAYS of discussion and thought, and the
cause of the people and good govern
ment are not likely to suffer thereby"

BrattlcbOrO Correspondence
Springfield Republican.

Either Nichols defeat OF some other
cause has had quieting effect upon
the minds of scores of political athletes
who were bobbing about the state
month or more ago in the mistaken be-
lief that they were ''fixing things" in
the interest of their dictator and for
subsequent ratification by the people.
Their plans, and all Of their calculations
which had hitherto generally been sue
cessful, miscarried. Nichols declined
and Smithisre got an unexpected set
back. A healthy change was at once
noticeable; ring abuses were no longer
denied or even defended. Gov. Smiths
former appologists became silent, and
now everybody seems to be DESTROYS of
reformation. The free-pass holder is
particularly sensitive and shy of his
favors, and finally it is a matter of ex-
IRENE conjecture as to what will be the
outcome of this unexpected conversion.
The change has been so sudden, and so
comparatively easy at last, as to make
the future course of action almost pain
fully uncertain.
The workers Of J. X. Batchelder of
Bennington County are perhaps the
only active ones i'll the field today, and
their efforts are unlikely to be success
full, as there is wide feeling that the
aspiring lawyer is closely allied to
Smiths political fortunes; Ormsbee,
therefore, seems practically sure of the
licutenant-govcrnorship, unless it should
turn out at the ninth hour that Rutland
had stronger candidate to present in
| the convention.
II looks at this time as though Chief
Justice Royce would be compelled to
step down and out this fall; there is a
strong opposition to his reelection, and
it is said that the Central influence will
not be worked in his behalf again. The
charges brought against him by Frank
lin county members of the bar are def
nitely convincing to large majority of
the reading public. State Treasurer
Du Bots, who anticipates reelection,
is sharply criticised by hundreds Of vic
tins for his connection, as one of the
directors, with the defunct Vermont
Accident association Of Rutland, to say
nothing of his close associations with
the Central ring. St. Adams people are
particularly sore over what they char
acterize as Du Bots derelection of duty
in the unfortunate affairs Of the St. AL
bans trust company. 1t will be strange
if these things do not operate against
his reelection.

THE people will soon be called upon
to choose delegates to meet at Montpe-
lier on the 23d of June to nominate a
candidate to represent this district i'll
the next Congress, i'll place of Hon.
Luke P. Poland, the present incumbent
We sincerely hope the people viii
turn out and send men to this conven,
ton who can neither be bought, sold OF
cajoled into voting for any other than
the present incumbent, who stands q
full head and shoulders above his
avovcd opponents in ability, capacity
and everything that goes to make up
the efficient representative. We under
stand that the latest dodge Of the Hook
er "fixcr" is to represent, in this sec
ton, that Hooker and Poland are COM
bining to beat Grout This is the YER
eist bosh, and is only used to obtain
delegates for the former gentleman.
We hope, and believe, that London
derry will send delegates who will
steadfastly vote for Poland, and that if
he cannot be nominated will then vote
for Hon. C. B. Eddy, of Bellows Falls,
whose ability, next to Poland, is in adj
vance of any one now in the field.

Shrewsbury pond is being depleted
of its fish by nets and dynamite. The
parties are known and, we understand,
win be promptly prosecuted under the
law if these Illegal methods of fishing
are prcsistod in by these preachers.
Last dear several parties offending in
this way at the fishing grounds in Mis-
sissquoi bay were prosecuted in the
City court at Burlington. An appeal
was taken to the County court and from
thence to the Supreme court. The SUI
prcme court has sustained the prosecu-
ton, and an execution has been grant
ed against these fish pirates, whose
fines are SO severe that they will not
soon again offend. The present owner
of the pond never posted it; he has al
lowed all persons to fish in it with a
fly; has stocked ii with fine trout and
salmon, and yet these fish pirates sweep
the waters constantly with their nets,
to the utter ruin of these swaters as the
most promising ground for fly-tishing
in this section. Our advice to the
owner is to bring these fish pirates
promptly into court and fine them
heavily as was done at Burlington.
Selling the nets does little good; but
let them once be smartly fined and we
predict they will be slow to plant either
nets or dynamite.-[H Herald.
