1t would be well for all cities and
towns to keep up such a sanitary sys-
TEN as to be always prepared for cholera.
But as this is not done, now is a good
time to make preparations, The fol-
lowing, from the Kansas City Times,
should be needed: "Cholera, the most
dreaded of scourges, is coming west.
Al Toulon, France; on Wednesday last
there were nine deaths, ON Thursday ten
deaths, with about seventy cases in the
naval hospital. The disease is epidem
ic. The city presents, it is reported, a
strange sight. Fires + burning in the
streets for purifying purposes. A post
mOrtem examination of two bodies has
been made. In each case there were
signs of Asiatic cholera. The heart
shrunken and without vesicles; the
blood was drawn to the lungs the peri
Iteneum was shrunken; spots, generally
of a yellow hue, were found on the in
testines. The kidneys were affected,
but the liver was intact. The roads
and mountain passes in France are mar
|rowly guarded to prevent the passage
of persons infected with the disease.
Business in Marseilles is at a s%tandstill.
The public fete which was to have ia
ken place OH July IA, has been given up.
Very great precautions will have to be
taken to prevent its appearance in this
country. Quarantine regulations will
have to be very strict and enforced in
all smaller as we'll IS the larger cities.
Western towns as we'll as eastern cities
and towns should look we'll to their
health condition. The west will be
ripe this summer and fall for all sorts
of diseases. The country is full OF wat.
err. 1t has been thus far an exception
ally cool season.. AS one extreme fol,
lows another we are very apt TO see
some warm weather yet this year. II
will be strange if fully, August and Sep
TENDER are not very hot months. If
they are, with the wonderful growth Of
vegetation, unless more than usual san.
itary precautions are taken, a sickly
season must be expected. If boards OF
health, city physicians, city officials
and town authorities, and what is bet
than all, if the people themselves, will
take care to prevent disease by obeyine
the obvious and ordinary laws of health,
much suffering, disease and death cal
be prevented"

wise ? He is the reverse of our ideas Of
cleanliness in politics and is an enemy
to our customs and interests. How the
Germans will vote depends upon the
democratic nomination. 1 fsuch a man

Mary Walker visited the Capitol TUESDAY
morning, and while there demonstrated her
right to masculine garments, DIR. walker
wears a silk hat, which she obtained per-
mission of the House janitor to leave out
side while she went into the room OF the
committee on claims. Before she put the
hat down she borrowed q rubber from the
accommodating janitor to erase from the hat
band a scurrilous legend, which she said
some puppy had written on it the last time
she laid the hat down. After she had disap--
peared in the committee room, a wag brlbed
a colored employee of the House to put the
doctors hat on, and to so into the commit
tee room and present it to her. The man
did so, but as soon as the doctor caught
sight of him she sprang TO her feet, scream
cd, You impudent scoundrel," and dealt
the offender u blow in the eye winch stag
gered him. She was preparing to repeat
the blow when the colored man dropped the
hat and hastily retired.
