QuarantinEng Against France.

At the request of Surgeon General
Hamilton, the Secretary of State yester-
day sent cable dispatch to the United
States Consul at Toulon, France, with d
view to ascertaining the facts in rela-
ton to the reported outbreak of cholera
at that port II the answer should in
dictate serious epidemic the local quar-
antine stations throughout the United
States will be advised to adopt precau-
lions against the Introduction Of the
disease into this country. In the course
of IL conversation upon the subject.
Surgeon General Hamilton said that he
did not believe that the cholera report
ed to have appeared at TOulon would
extend beyond the control of the French
health officers. 1t had probably been
brought from Egypt in the troop ships
returning to France from that country.
There was little danger of a direct i'm
pOrtation of the disease from Egypt into
the United States, for the reason that
our imports from that country are con-
fined to rags, which are 1igidly inspected
by Government officers. The Surgeon
General added that cholera was, OF all
diseases, perhaps the most difficult to
quarantine against, and localities
threatened by it should adopt every
precaution, in the way of perfect clean
illness and attention to hygienic condi-
tions.-Washingten National Republic

After the nomination of Gov. MdEn-
cry, last.D advised all Dem
ocrats to vete for shin, in order that
they raight be represented in the future
conventions EFF the party. In some of
the wards Of this parish, they failed to
follow cur advice, and Gov. MeEnery
ran behind the ticket; these wards are
now reapiug the fruit sof their neglect.
The parish committee has apportioned
the number of delegates to be sent to
the parish convention on September Sd,
a ccording to the vote received by Gov.
M,cEnery and some ofttse wards have
lost in representation, just n proportion
as they failed to vote fer them. Ihe
Dem ocrats who did not vote for him,
there by put themselves practically out
of the party for they have no repre-
sentati on in its conventions, and Their ;
fore cannot help to defeat Objectionable
persons when put up for nomination.
Where nomination amounts to an
election, it is necessary that every DEM
ocrat should be represented in the con-
yentions; those who failed to vote for
McEnery have lost this representation,
and the act by which they lost it illus
trates the old adage Of "biting off your
no. q spite your face"
