APPROACH OF AsIATIO CHOLERA
from the New York Herald.

from the New York Herald.]
The circular letter of the National
Board OF Health to the governors OF all
the states, which wa print here,
is timely warning that our continent
must not expect to escape the scourge
of Asiatic cholera. 1t was reported
some days ago that it has appeared in
South America, Buenos Ayres, in the
Argentine Republic, where there is a
large immigration, in great part from
Mediterranean countries, exceeding
eighty thousand during the last twelve
months.
The subject of precaution is one of
anxious interest to the inhabitants of
New York, ours being the chief port of
entry in North America. 1t is reassur-
ing that the board is hopeful that with
proper care the disease can be restrict
ed and localized. For this purpose,
however, III consideration OF the facil-
ity of locomotion in the United States,
general system for the precautionary
measures is Ieedful, aud accordingly
all states which do not possess u well
organized sanitary service are urged to
provide one promptly, and the COVER
/ nors are exhorted to bring the need to
the attention OF the legislatures.
AT the same time it is announced
from Washington thar Secretary Nc
Culloch will issue circular letter to-
day continuing the embargo against
imports of rags from injected ports,
and including all Mediterranean ports
and French ports whatsoever In the
category.

EATING BEFORE SLEEPING.
A Journalist's Experience, of Value
TO Mankind In General.

david II. Stone In the New York Journal of
Commerce.l
The notion Is widely prevalent that it
is unhealthy to cat late at night or Just
before retiring. This came from the
severe denunciation of "late suppers,"
contained in nearly all the old popular
works Oh diet. The argument in these
publications was directed against
what was involved in late supper, at
a period in which the revelers slipped
from their chairs and spent the night
under the table, or Were carried by
waiting lackeys insensible to their beds.
1t was the midnight debauch that was
the object of attack, and even here it
was less the gluttony than the drunk
enness which alarmed the doctors and
called forth their apprehension. A man
may induce apoplexy by gorging him
self with food at any hour of the day,
but the bottle after bottle of heavy
Wine or the bowls of hot punch at the
evening revel were what did the busi-
hess for most who ran briet career Of
dissipation to an untimely grave.
Man is the only animal that can be
taught to sleep quietly on an empty
stomach. The brute creation resent
all efforts to coax them to such viola
ton OF the laws of nature The lion
roars in the forest until he has found
his prey, and when he has devoured it
he sleeps over it until he needs another
meal. The horse will paw all night in
the stable, and the pig will squeal in the
pen, refusing all rest or seep until they
are fed. The animals which chew the
cud have their own provision for a
late meal just before dropping of to
their night slumbers.
Man can train himself to the habit OF
sleeping without preceding meal, but
only after long years of practice. AS
he comes into the world nature is too
strong for him, and he must be fed be.

A CANDIDATE WHO GREW.
From the Boston Herald.l

Governor Cleveland has been a mod
el candidate. Through all the long and
bitter campaign he conducted himself
with modestv, propriety and dignity.
He constantly attended, with but two
or three brief Interruptions, to the ex-
acting duties of the executive of the
imperial state OF New York, not saving
or writing single word that was net
correct i'll ,a,;e and Judgment. He
has made upon his countrymen the
impression of a level headed, clear
eyed, reticent man, not brilliant, but
weighing well his words and speaking
to the pupose.
The desperate warfare made upon
him was the lowest and dirtiest ever
made on candidate for president.
He stood the investigation well and
constantly gained the respect of the
best men in the country by his modes
~ and candor. Looking back upon
the hot campaign, the supporters of
Governor Cleveland cannot find sim
gle act or word of their candidate to
regret. He steadily grew in public
esteem from the beginning to the end
OF the campaign.

MR. CLEVELAND AND THE FEDERAL
JUDICIARY.
From the New York Wor,d.l


Within the next four years four of
the judges now on the federal bench
will attain the age of seventy years,
nance OF salary, but will not be reauir-
ed to do go. The probability is that
they will prefer to give up their ardu-
GUS judicial duties. 1t is likely, there
fore, that President Cleveland will be
called upon to appoint at least four
supreme court justices, and he may
have the appointment of still more.
The ranks of the lower federal
judges are also thinned out during
every administration by age, death and
resignation. In the natural course OF
events the selection of number of
these will fall to the next president.
But more than this. It will be the
duty of congress, at its next session, to
relieve the supreme and other United
States courts from the vast amount Of
business that now presses aud cripples
them. OF tho various plans of relief
brought forward the most acceptable
is that embodied in the bill prepared
by Judge Davis when in the senate.
This has received the general approval,
of lawyers, judges and The public. It
passed the senate last year, but was
not acted upon by the house. 1t is the
measure that congress is most likely to
adopt. Should it become a law in its
present form 1t will call for the ap
pointment of eighteen new circuit
justices.
The next president will therefore
have the selection of an unusally
large number of federal judges. The
Importance of a capable, incorruptible
national judiciary cannot be overesti-
mated in these days ofgrowing corpor-
alton wealth and power and the fre-
quent looming up of far reaching finan-
cial, political and constitutional ques-
tions. 1t is fortunate for the welfare of
the country that this important ap-
pointing power is to be exercised by
Mr.. Cleveland instead of James G..
Blaine. This may be a sore disap-
pointment to Jay Gould and some 9th
ers who would like to have a potent
voice in the naming of judges, but
to the people it is cause for congratu-
latiOn.

OUR GOVERNOR ELECT.
{ From the Saline County Democrat

From the Saline County Democrat.
The democrats of Missouri did a
noble thing when they elected General
John s.. Marinaduke governor of our
proud old state by SO handsome ma
jority.
We have been told at every recurring
election since the war, that it is unwise
to nominate all ex-contederaie for gov
ernor OF Missouri during presidential
campaign. But this year lhc demo-
Gratis disregard such craven advice and
nominated the man OF their choice, ex-
confederate though he was, and the
result was not only the election of their
choice, but also the triumphant eec-
ton OF the democratic nominees for
president and vice. president, Thus
concIusively proving that the nomina-
ton OF the peoples choice for governor
has in nowiSe prejudiced the interests
OF the party in other quarters.
Not only has the party in Missouri
forever set at rest the silly proposition
that democrats are to be ostracizrd be-
cause oftheir warrecord, but they have
bestowed high honor upon one Of
Missouri's sons who is in every way
worthy of it.
Brave, honest, straightforward, hat
ing everything that iF false and dishon.
orable, Gen. Marmaduke will make a
model governor and will 90 out OF of
flee honored, trusted and esteemed by
the whole people, even as he goes into
office ulitrammeled by trades or prom
ises and uncontrolled bv cliques or
rings. Tie will seek only 10 know his
duty and to do it in that quiet, manly,
unOstentatious manner that has charac-
terized him through life.
Bred in that old-iashioned school OF
politics which holds that public office
is public trust, he will administer the
affairs of state with AN eye single to the
welfare of the people ana the honor OF
the state.
The handsome vote he received in
spite of the combined efforts of green
hackers, republicans and certain prohi-
bitionists, shows the deep hold he has
upon the affections and confidence OF
the people OF the state, and is at once
high tribute to his character US man
and to the tirmness of the people of the
state in not being led astray by the base
talsehoods and foul calumnies WHICH
were circulated from every stump i'll
the state during the canvass.
There are men calling themselves
democrats in nearly every county in the
state who scratched Gen. Marmaduke's s
name from their tickets. solely because
he had believed with the south and act
ed with the south during the war be-
tween the states.
Now that the heat and turmoil of the
campaign has passed, these men must
deeply feel the ignominy OF their
action. When they remember the zeal
with which ex-comfederate democrats
supported Woodson, and Hardin, and
Phelps, and Crittenden, they must feel
that they have but poorly repaid such
devotion in rewarding faith with
treachery and party fealty with narrow
minded prejudice.
The remaining few who suffered
themselves to be misinformed concern
ing Gen. Marmaduke's character, and
who turned too willing ear to the
slanderous tongue of envy, will, ere he
shall be called upon to surrender that
trust, come to know him as he is and
to appreciate him for what he is worth
as man.

[From the New York uersld.1


From the New York Herald.l
Chairman German, of the democratic
National Committee, last night. issued
the following statement:
| notice In the press various state
ments about alleged contributions by
Mr.. William II. Vanderbilt to the Ma
tional Democratic Committee. Among
them there ia one reported as made by
Gen. b. +. Butler III an interview pub
lisbed In the Washington Star of No

Gen. Butler was speaking of the repub-

that he knows nothing ut all about the
democratic campaign fund, and that in
SAYING he does know he does not speak

lam in position to know about this
matter as fully aud completely as auy
one, and | want to make my denial Of
Gen. Buffers assertion as broad and
strong as it can be made. My reason
for wishing to do So is that these stories
are put out with malicious intent of
creating false impression that Cleve-
land received aid from class of con
tributors and set of influences who.
aid, when given at all, was wholly aud
unstintedly devoted to the service of
Blaine, while the campaign of Cleve-
land and Hendricks was dependent up.
on popular support, given for the most
part in small sums. Some wealthy
democrats did their fair share, and also
some independent republicans of large
means, but there was no aid from great
institutions likely to seek from the ma
tional government new favors in the
future or the continuance of valuable
privileges already enjoyed by them.
Any part in the campaign taken by such
bodies was entirely on the side Of
Blaine and Logan.

A WORD TO THE NEGROES.
[From tbe Marshall Democrat


For twenty years the republican
leaders have been drumming into the
ears of the negroes of the United
States the silly story that the return of
the democracy to power would bring
about the reinstatement of their race.
At each successive election the
negroes have been told that the demo-
Gratis would sell them into slavery if
they ever came into power, and at each
successive election there have been
negroes foolish enough to believe it.
1t is not strange, then, that many
members of the negro race feel nervous
and ill at ease when they see that the
long delayed triumph of the democratic
party is at hand and when they hear
the shouts which greet the announce
ment of Cleveland's election.
That such fears are perfectly ground
less every intelligent man knows, and it
is the duty OF intelligent men to allay
the fears of such negroes as are iguo-
rant enough to believe it.
To make slavery again possible in
the United States would require con-
stitutional amendment, proposed by
congress and ratified by three-fourths
of the states. Even If a faction of the
democratic party desired to see slavery
revived-which is not the case-the
thing would be impossible, because the
states i'll which slave labor would not
be profitable would oppose 1t.
But no state and no faction OF the par
ty desires to see slavery revived in this
country. The very men who once owned
slaves would discountenance anything
Of the kind. The late slave-holding
states are more prosperous now than
ever before, and we must first suppose
the Inhabitants 10 lie tools before we
can imagine them advocating the re-
establishment of slavery. Every thing
is now conducted on a different basis in
those states, and one had as well ex-
pect TO see the Missouri river flow up
stream "a to expect to see slavery ever
revived III any portion OF our country.
But more than this. The rights of
citizenship und r the law are conierr-
ed upon the negroes and can never be
taken away from them as race They
are as secure i'll their rights as the
white people are in the same rights.
The same laws which affect the
white man will affect the black man.
ii the country IS prosperous both Will
prosper alike, if they are alike indus
trious, sober and honest. Ii hard times
come, both must face them and con-
quer them by industry and self denial.
Let the negroes of the United States
be perfectly at ease so far as their
rights are in danger from democrats,
and let them forget the campaign lies
that have been told them SO often to
secure their votes. They have voted as
they pleased in Missouri heretofore,
and they will continue to do so. The
democratic party has not needed their
votes, and yet has treated them fairly
In the state. So it will treat them
hereafter, both in this state and in all
other states.
