AsANITARY officer in q little town in North
ern Italy adopted heroic measures to avert the
cholera. The villagers were dirty and would
not wash and the officer believing that the
cleaning Of the streets would avail nothing if
the inhabitants continued filthy, had the most
offensive among them seized by soldiers
stripped and thoroughly bathed in a convenient
stream. While the serubbing was in progress,
the clothes were gathered together and burned
When they came out Of the water, the nude in
nature SO scandalized their wealthier resi-
dents that they hastily procured them new
clothing, and the sanitary officer was satisfied.
This bit Of zeal on the part Of the government
official would doubtless have met with the ap-
proyal Of Thoreau who tells, with great disgust,
in, his Summer notebook about one Of his
neighbors, a Concord farmer, who had not
bathed for sixteen years.

To-day four million grateful Republicans call
down blessings on the accident that made
independent Republicans When the Demo
cratic party allowed them to dictate its
nomination for the first place on the ticket
they took advantage Of the opportunity and
did greater service to the Republican party
than they ever did in all their lives
before When, in Difference to their
opinions, Mr.. Cleveland omitted to declare
himself on the tariff and other public
questions of only less Importance,
the work so devoutly to be wished was
consummated. In deferring to the independ-
ents the Democratic party slapped its Irish
adherents in the face. In nominating Cleve-
land to please Curtis Schun, ct al, the
laboring people were ahenated, and by his
cowardly dodge of the tariff question the pro
lection element was estranged, and even free
traders became lukewarm. Republicans, there
fore, feel justified in congratulating them
selves over the accident that made independ-
ents, and put it into the mind Of the Demo
cratic party to let them manage its campaign.

The New York Sun continues to impale Mr..
Hendricks upon its impartial and independent
pen. It shows up his illconcealed contempt
for Grover Cleveland, and exposes the evident
hope he entertains either Of being pushed to
the head Of the ticket this year or gaining that
honor in 1883 through the defeat Of Cleveland
now. No one can fail to see that this is the
bent of Mr.. Hendricks's mind. He has not
been able to dissemble his ambition.

THE Sentinel, as represented by its attor-
neys, seems disposed to regard its charges
against Mrs. Blaine as joke, thing TO be
laughed at. The public and the court will
hardly coincide. When the Sentinel at
tackled the good name of an honored wife it
did that which no honest man can quietly
submit to, In all lands and in all times this
has been rightfully regarded as one Of the
most infamous crimes that can be committed
against wife and mother. It is vastly
more bastard than personal assault and
outrage. 1t is folly for the Sentinel, as the
representative Of the Democratic party, to at
tempt to laugh this matter out of court, and
it will discover before it is through with it
that the nature of its offending is too grave to
be lightly considered. Its evasive course and
its defiance Of decent sentiment in endeavor-
ing to show that its words were not libelous
must bring down upon it general contempt
The assassin of woman's good name cannot
hope to burlesque himself free from RESPONSE
bility The Sentinel may make up its mind
to meet this thing on some better line Of de-
Tense than attempting to belittle the signif-
canoe Of its attack upon an honored wife and
mother Neither it nor the Democratic party
can afford to turn this most serious business
into farce

financial straits to which it had come, through no
fault of its founders and friends, it will appear
that the friendship of Mr. DePauw was provi-

Asbury should be forfeited was an act that
reflects honor upon him. Risen from the ashes

Bishop Bowman as chancellor. The endowment
has been increased from $137 900 to $257, 000 and
