T Nsw York Board Of Health and the
leading physicians Of New 1oik city have
taken prompt and vigorous seps TO pre-
vent the importation Of rags into this
country without thorough disnfection.
This action will be regarded a. timely
and wise. The danger Of the Introduction
OF the cholera into this country wasneVer
80 great as at present. Our relations with
Paris are verv close. Not a European
passenger steamer reaches New YORK but
that brings a greater or less number Of
persons from that city.
The tact that the disease is making
rapid progress in Paris, notwithstanding
the cool weather and the precautions that
have been taken TO guard against 1t, IS
the verv best evidence that it is Of a Vru-
lent character. AID that il has lost little,
if any, Of its power to claim new victims
during its ravages in Southern France
ami Italy.
The action taken By the New York
Health Board ought TO be initiated, as
far as possible, by the health boards OF all
seaport towns on the Atlantic and Gull
coasts. Infected ships, or ships having On
board men who may have the germs Of
| the disease in their systems or in their
| clothing. are liable 10 enter any one Of the
ports Cd the coasts named at any time.
tits much better to attempt to keepthe
dreaded disease out Of the country than To
| depend upon controlling il after II once
finds a lOdgment on our shores.
The Secretary Of the Treasury VIII act
at once. doubtless, On the suggestion Oh
the New York physicians and prohibit
any further importation Of rags, EXCEPT
under such regulations as viii deprive
them Of whatever danger they possess.
It was noticeable that while the cholera
was raging at Marseilles and TOulon il
was said that there was no apprehension
felt in Paris that the disease would v1sii
that city, and it was argued that if 1t die
il would not show itself to an alarming
extent because the city was so clean. Now
that the cholera has actually got posses
sion Of the city it turns out, if reports arr
to be credited, that many parts Of 1t are II
a very filthy condition. 1t is not always
safe 10 accept the statements OF health
authorities. because until danger actually
arrives their aim is to quiet apprehension
It is alleged that the city Of New York i
in most excellent sanitary condition, bu'
if it should have a visitation Of the cholera
it is not at all improbable that the newspa
per reporters would be able to fnd many
localities that would prove TO be cholera
breeding spots.
The health authorities OF New York and
other cities Of the country ought moi t
allow themselves to be deceived about tho
condition Of cities under their care. hiltt
in n and every form is one OF the chic
MEDIUMS through which the germs OF the
plague are scattered. Cleanliness ought L
be insisted on IN every city in the ccun
try.

Never too Late to Mend.

Readers OF Hawthorne's "House Of Seven
Gables" Will recall the pathos with which
poor Clifford Pyncheon, who had been IN
Justly imprisoned since his early manhood,
said, after his release: my life is gone, and
where is my happiness? Oh! give ne my
happiness" But that could be done only in
part, as CLEANS Of warm sunshine occasionally
fall across the gloom Of a New England
autumn day.
In a letter to Messrs. HIsCox 4 Co., Mr.. L.
H. Titus. Of Pennington, n. j., says: 81

Mr.. L. 5. Wells, who needs no introduction
to the people of Jersey City, add The
testimonial Of Mr.. Titus is genuine and VOL
untarv: only he does not adequately portray
the suffering he has endured for many years.
He is nv brother-in-law, and | know the case

whr do Ther Foreet Burchard?

The b~usybodies who are engaged in
I framing Mr.. Cleyeland's Cabinet for him,
and who are insisting that q OF the
/ leaders Of the boiling Republicans shall
have a place in it on account Of the service
which these Republicans rendered the
/ Democratic party, entirely overlook 2
very deserving individual.
We refer to the Reverend Nj. Burchard.
/ This distinguished minister Of the gospel
did not lead an army Of voters 10 the
| polls. and, as far as known, has no fol-
lowers. but the Blaine managers give
MIN the credit Of defeating Mr. Blaine and
| Of electing Mr.. Cleveland. They estimate
that that little address he made to Mr..
Blaine at the Fifth Avenue Hotel a day
OF two before the election, in which he
aimed to say something that would at
tract attention By its sound rather than
by its truth or sense. lost their candidate
10000 votes, and that the majority Of this
number was lost in New York.
H. therefore. the Cabinet is to be made
w on the plan that those who helped TO
defeat Blaine are TO be rewarded, rather
than upon the plan that the statesmen OF
the Democratic party are to be CHOSEN 70
administer the government. the Rev. Mr..
Burchard ought not TO be forgotten. He
is certainly as deserving Of recognition as
any Of the Republicans who intend to re-
main Republicans, but who worked for
Mr.. Cleveland simply to beat Blaine 4
10 defeat Blaineism.
IL is probable, however, that by the
time Mr. Cleveland is ready TO select his
Cabinet the controlling sentiment in the
Democratic party will be that 1t is
a much wiser plan to select the Cabinet
officers from among Democrats. II the
is TO be run OF Democratic
principles there must be Democrats
in charge Of the great departments Of
the government.

The election Of the Democratic candi-
date for Comptroller in Philadelphia while
that city gave a majority Of some $4,000
for Blaine is significant. It shows that
the people Of that city want an honest
municipal administration, even if they
can't see their way clear 70 help reform
the national government. Bradstreets
saws: The successful candidate, Col. K.
r. Dechert, was only IN the field for SIX
DAYS before the election. During recent
years Republican Philadelphia has, for
the most part, kept in Office a Democratic
Comptroller. and apparently on 4 clearly
understood theory that the city accounts
are most likely to be honestly checked by
A representative OF the minority party.
such voting as that in Philadelphia or
Tuesday shows Enthusiastically that a high
er development Of the citizen is coming
about. This fact is suspicious for the fu-
ture Of Democracy. With n further adj
vance Of civil service reform it is reason
able 10 expect that a general feeling OF in
~dependence VIII grow up in relation to all
municipal elections. This accomplished,
the municipal question, so called, VIII

some Of the Republican papers are
already owning Up that they were only
trying 10 brighten the people into voting
their ticket when they cried out that the
Democrats, if victorious, would ruin the
business interests of the country. The
New York Commercial, which was a
strong Blaine organ, now says: "We have
not the least fear that the Democratic
party is disposed 70 have recourse TO the
fanciml schemes which their ad~versaries
say they have been preparing. If Mr..
Cleveland should 90 into the White House
his administration viii probably be so
conservative that the radical elements
among his supporters viii be seriously
disappointed. 1t is highly improbable
that changes will be made through which
any industry will be likely to suffer"
