EDELBERTo GIRO will be remembered
as the man who was alleged to have en-
trapped the late unhappy and ill-fated
Mrs. Christiancy into the apparent in
discretions upon which her husband S
application for divorce was based Giro
was proven to be most villainous and
Infamous scoundrel. 1t seems that he is
a professional plunderer of women with
money and desire to marry. He is
now in Jail for swindling fond widow
out of 81 900, which he took to invest
for her while their marriage was pend
ing. The chance to give him about
nineteen years in the pen is one that will
be hailed with JOY by the most merciful
Judge in the land.

The democratic party, in national
convention assembled, declares in its
platform that ''it is indispensable fol
the practical application and enforce
ment of these fundamental principles
that the government should not always
be controlled by one party This is a
declaration naturally expected from a
party that has been out in the cold for
twenty-five years. 1t is the only decla-
ration in their platform that is sincere
and sensible.

THE saloon keepers of Dubuque,

THE saloon keepers of Dubuque, Ia,
are paying no attention to the liquor
law that was to go into effect on the
fourth. They are all open and selling
as if there was no law against it. They
closed on Sunday and are more careful
to whom they sell. There are 76 Ii
censed saloons in the city and not one
has closed. They are determined to pay
no attention to the law. Wholesale
dealers are doing business as usual,
except they put their packages up in
different shape and seek new means of
transportation, the railways having de-
clded to obey the law.

no national convention would ever en-

THE cholera has jumped from France
to Germany, it having made its appear
ance at Constance. in the duchy of
Baden. This is in accordance with the
prediction of the eminent German ply
stefan and expert DR.. Koch, who stated
on Monday last that the PROJECT of the
spread of the disease all over Europe was
hourl y more certain, and that perhaps it
would ultimately reach America. Lon
don is crowded with Americans who
have been frightened out of France,
and will soon return home. 1t is not at
all unlikely that some of them will carry
the scourge with them, and possibly
they may, if their return is delayed
much longer, be subjected to long
quarantine before landing Meantime
every American city ought to take I'M
mediate sanitary precautions, the prin
cipal of which is the thorough cleaning
of streets, alleys, sewers, and all other
places where filth has been allowed to
accumulate.

MONDAY was the ninety-ffth anniver-
sary of the storming and destruction of
the Bastile, and it was celebrated by
Frenchmen everywhere. The Bastile
was the state prison or citadel Of Paris,
which was built in 1870 by Charles Y.
1t was political prison, in which noble
men, authors and politicians, who were
victims of royal jealousy, political des-
potism, court intrigue or ecclesiastical
persecution were confined without the
formality of a trial and conviction of
crime. They were summarily sent there
by an arbitrary document called a lettre
de cachet. The prisoners were left in
ignorance of the cause and duration of
their punishment, and were complete
ly debarred from intercourse with their
friends. The destruction of the Bastile
was the first violent symptoms of the
French revolution, and its fall was due to
efforts of the gallant and liberty loving
Frenchmen who fought for Freedoms
cause in the American revolution.
They carried home with them the enthu-
siasm which they had imbibed in Amer
lea, and melted their countrymen into
action. The key OF the Bastile was
presented by La Fayette to George
Washington, and is now one of the most
interesting relics at Mount Vernon.

Mr.. GLADsToNE's warning to the

Mr.. GLADSTONE warning to the
house of lords that it looked as though
they would soon have tc step down and
out of the government, has started a
row all oyer England that promises to
throw into the shade our quadrennial
periods of unpleasantness. The country
was ripe for the declaration. The liberal
journals recognize the signal for charge
on hereditism and aristocratic privileges
with exceeding greatjoy, and the caution
with which Mr.. Gladstone framed his
hint is by no means initiated in their
stirring editorials. Lord Reseberry, in
the very nest Of the nobility, the house
of lords, seconded Mr.. Gladstone's
warning by delivering solemn lecture
on the uselessness of that body, and
said they must reform Or go under.
In the course of Roseberry's speech
he illustrated the practical imbecility
of the lords by contrasting their pres
ent position in the government with
that of the American senate. He said
that 1t was not because the senate was
a more able body of men than the lords,
that they welded greater power and
influence over national affairs, but be-
cause they represented the wishes of
the people and were responsible to them
finally for their action. There was
talent enough in the British hereditary
senate, but it is wasted because of the
want of sympathy with the nation. He
assured his brethren that they now rep
resent nothing but heredity, the church
and the interest of land owners.
