The birthplace of the Cholera.

Rochester Union and Advertiser.
Toulon, the city in which the cholera
made its first appearance, is a seaport
city of France, situated at the head of
double bay of the Mediterranean sea. 1t
stands upon ground which rises gradual
ly from the a, and is sheltered by a
ridge ofmountains, extending round the
bay. 1t is strongly fortified, and is es-
pecially rich in fountains, trees and
promenades. The military fort is the
largest on the Mediterranean, and one OF
the most admirable of it's kind, extend
ing over 200 acres, and surrounded by
vast buildings, the arsenal and floating
docks, and corrected with the supple
mentary arsenals of Castignean and
Mourillon. Ship-building is largely car
ried on, but trade and industry are large
ly supported by the naval works, which
employ 10000 men. The most remarka-
BILE feature of this city of $4,000 inhabi-
tants is that it has do sewers. And it is
probably owing to this fact that the city
is now being depopulated by the dread
full cholera plague.

reform, and the power of the Democratic

reform, and the power of the Democratic
repudiatOrs.
No man who is familiar with public
affairs and men would claim that Mr..
Hendricks is in any sense whatever a
representative of the loyal AMI sincere
patriotism of the country, of a sound and
wise financial system, or Improvement
in the Civil Service. He is no more
representative of reform than Fernando
Wood, and no more stands for what
the Democratic platform declares to be
the cardinal necessities of the time than
any other familiar Democratic politician
in the country. His association with Mr..
Tilden upon the ticket is an illustration
of the hollow pretense of the Democrat
ic campaign. There may be Democrats
who in some way represent sagacious
judgment and craftsmanship. and the
elevation of political life, as Mr.. Wheeler
does among the Republicans; but Mr..
Hendricks is no more one of them than
Isaiah Rynders.

A good story comes from boys board

some old style physic in the apple-sauce,
and await the happy results. One bright

the secret mine in his sauce, and pushing
back his plate, shouted to the pedagogue,

The Platform.
wichita EAGLE

Wichita Eagle.
The platform adopted by the Repub-
lican party of Kansas last Thursday in
Topeka, contains two prominent planks.
One of these planks demands obedience
to the Constitution and laws of the ST. ate
The other asserts the right of the law
making power of the State to regulate
railroads and to control all corporations.
The one denounces the usurpation of
the judicial functions by the Execu-
tive; the other says give the
Railroad Commissioners more power.
The one in effect, says so long
as prohibition is the will of the ma
jority, that no minority, however
formidable, shall trample down that will,
and the declaration involves the very
genius, the very foundations of Ameri-
can government and liberty. To have
ignored at this time doctrine of such
prominence would have been cowardly,
to contradict would have been treason.
No patriot, no good citizen, can deny the
truth and entire soundness of the first
proposition laid down in the so-called
prohibition plank. 1t does not deny the
right to resubmit, nor even go so far as
to claim that prohibition is or has been
a success, but it says that it stands there
as the solemn declaration of the people,
legally and formally made, and that,
therefore, it must be respected and
obeyed by the citizens and officers as
well, so long as it shall stand unrepealed.
There is only one way to get rid of OBJ
noxiOus laws. and that is by their legal
repeal in response to the demand of the
majority of the people. No good citizen
of free government where the will of
the majority is law, would pretend to
deny that there was any other way, or
that he should desire any other way.
The Democrats will howl that the
plank referred to denies the right of re-
submission, and declares the prohibitory
law success, but it does neither; only
simply demands that the will of the ma
jority of the people, without regard to
party, shall be respected. The Demo
Gratis say that the minority, headed by a
Governor who usurps the power of the
courts, may trample the will of the ma
jority under their feet. This false and
dangerous doctrine is entirely deniod.
The majority will be heard from in
November, and in its ranks will be found
the law-abiding, home-loving, true, sober
and conscientious citizen.

A writer in the Home Farm says:
"Most soils need salt. Perhaps word
here in reference to salt will not be out
of place. I might say it is indispensable
to plum and pear trees, they needing
from three pints to two quarts to each
tree, or about six bushels per acre, each
year, sown broadcast and not put in large
quantities against the tree; it had better
be applied at different intervals. In a
neighborhood containing large orchards
the owners were quite discouraged about
their apples AS they were very wormy,
they weretall more or less infected. One
of theowners resolved to kill or cure, and
owning a meat market, he had large
quantity of salt and brine. He applied
it in the Spring to the orchards in guam
titles seemingly large enough to kill all
the trees. Yet his trees did better than
usual, producing large crop of sound
apples, while his neighbors' were as bad
as ever"

"A member of "a Presbyterian church
in Warren county, N. j., is in trouble be-
cause he sold peaches which were used

of church members.

WELLINGTON, July IS, 1884.


While on the way to the recent State
Convention, at Topeka, I noticed, all
along the line OF the Santa Fe Railroad,
large amounts of grain in the stack, and
and also other property entirely unpro-
tected from fire. This year there is a
great growth of vegetation which, in
some localities, is already beginning to
get dry, and no doubt soon will be food
for fire all over re State,
called at the General Office of the
Santa Fe road and was informed that
every precaution would be taken on the
part of the road in the way of keeping
the locomotives in perfect repair, and by
jnstructing section men and other en-
ployes to keep a sharp lookout, and thus
protect the road from responsibility. To
save the property, however, cooperation
is necessary on the part of the farmers
themselves, which, in most cases, can
easily be accomplished by blowing safe
guards around the exposed property. A
little timely work on the part of each
farmer who has property thus exposed
may save from the flames the labor of
an entire year, or the accommodations of
many years. Thus far this year little or
no effort appears to have been made by
the farmers, as far as I could see, to pro-
tect such exposed property.
Yours respectfully.
