The reign of cholera in southern
France is devouring the whole continent
of Europe. The disease is very fatal
at TOulOn and other places. Business
is distressed, the pleasure resorts are
deserted, and the people are terror
stricken. There is no telling over what
extent of territory the disease may
spread. EUGENE SUES description of
the plaugue in his Wandering Je,c may
be yet realized. 1t is stated that chOl-
era exists at Parks Mills, near Council
Bluffs, Iowa, but it is probable that
such is not the case.

The steamer Empire State, one Of the
largest excursion steamers in Boston

with about seven hundred people on board
for cruise along tho northern shore Of
Massachusetts, bay. IL was delight
ful day. aud everyone was enjoying the
trip to the utmost, when the boat swung
around To return at about O'Clock. In
going down the vessel had passed in deep
water outside Thatchcr's lslaud, about
forty miles from Boston. In returning the
pilot headed for channel between
rhatcher's and Milk Islands. Captain
Phillips suggested that it would bo better
to 90 outside again, ~ it was only half-tide,
but the pilot replied that thero was water
enough and he attempted to make the
passage. When half way through
the steamer struck a rock, tearing q
hole in the star6oard quarter,
through which tho water rapidly poured.
The shock was severe one and was felt
by oil on board. The passengers were
remarkably self possessed and there was

dining room and hold rushed pell nell

in the saloon aud on the upper deck aud
the excitement did not reach many oi

Some very iadisoreet partisans of Mr..
Blaine have conceived tho idea Of
distracting attention from tho public
record OF their candidate by personal
slaudcr of his opponent, Even IA paper Of
such respectable pretensions ~ Wharton
Barkcrs American, in its latest ISSUE
suggested this a. u very natural, though
not entirely oommendable, method of
political warfare, and the daily Blaine
| organ yesterday announced that a Pitts
bury paper was about To publish some
most damaging disclosures concerning Mr..
Clevelaud's private life. Theso papers
will doubtless profess to condemn the
Pittsburg publication, but they will need
| to make their condemnation very ON
phatic and unqualified to cleanse their
cause OF the disrepute which this kind OF
sneaking, blsckmail warfare brings upon
| it.
Grover Cleveland has grown from youth
to middle age in one community, where he
enjoys the highest respect of all Having
long held conspicuous place in the pub
| lie sight, his fellow citizens chose him to
| be mayor, aud the force aud dignity of his
| character gained him such distinction that
he was elected goverur of the state Of New
| York after heated partisan contest, Ii
there had been any smiToh upon his record
which it concerned the public To know, IL
is most unlikely that IL would have
remained hidden all this time, only To be
brought to light now in q distant city
whore he is not personally known.
To condono in any way such methods Of
attack is an offcnsc against the public
morals. Such ISLANDERS bear no relation
whatever to the accusations against Mr..
Blaine, even suppoSing these accusations
| n ha 'lhpsp nf n
public trust he is charged with the cm-
ployment of official power for self enrich.
mcnt But his most determined opponents
have never thought of dragging Mr.
| Blaine's private and domestic life into the
canvass. NOdoubt his private life is un.
| asSailahlC, but we never have heard of any
one taking the trouble to search for spots
in it and no honest opponentwould have any
patience with such search. ltMr. Blainss
friends eau tiud any such testimony against
MIR. Cleveland's public conduct Us Mr..
Blaine has furnished against himself, its
production will be entirely legitimate and
proper but 10 say that Mt Blaine would
be "doing as ho has been done by in en-
coursgiug his partisaus To pTomulgat
blackmail ISLANDERS and sueakiug insinul-
tions against the opposing candidate is &c
manifest q woful misconception Of what
constitutes truth or decency.
We have no fear that any respectful! e
paper is going far into this scandalmon-
gerry, which can iujure only its authors aud
abettoTs, yet the very suggestion of such Q
thing ought TO call forth determined
protest at the start. Let us have as hot d

A DEEPLY AFFLICTED WOMAN
Jn.t q title shock Make. hsr Bones Iroa Il
iike Piperttms

The wife Of well known minister Of
Winona, Mirn., is sfliicted with what is
known in common English az fragile
bones" All of the bones in her body are
gradually turning to substance resemb
ling hard chalk. Several years ago an
acquaintance in helping her out of a
carriage broke her collar bone. AS soon
as it had healed one of her arms broke
while some one was assisting her from q
vehicle. A little later her other arm
dropped helpless at her side when she
attempted to make some use of it.
After q great deal of trouble both OF the
fractures were reunited, but in a little
while ono of her arms was broken in
another place, the last time by the sufferer
merely lifting sugar bowl. Thus matters
aave run along for several years, the
unfortunate woman breaking one OF her
limbs every little while. The disease is
gradually spreading and is now reducing
the bones of her legs to chalk. The
greatest caro- is exercised TO prevent tho
sufferer making use of her limbs. She is
carefully lifted about and is moved around
in an invalid's chair. Physicians say il
she should fall from her chair or have an
unusual shock, all of the bones of her
body from her knees would snap into
small fragments, and of course, her
death would ensue.

Mr.. Hendricks. who has been a politician
OF singular success In directing the
Democratic organization In Indiana, OF
which he has been the unchallenged
leader for over twenty years, strikes the
key note of the pending presidential
Campaign, when he says the great issue
OF the contest is to be administrative
reform and integrity in public office.
Every circumstance favors this formula
tion OF the supreme question of the can
vass. The Republicans have shaped
1t 30 by the nomination of men
who represent, by their records
and In their persons, the opposing
doctrine; the Democratic candidates
were selected because of their high per
sonal character and we'll proved ofIicla
integrity.

not shifted the issue at all. Indeed 1t ha
