THIRTY YEARS AHU,
wnen the Uholers Kaysgod Colo

The Lancaster Inquirer, iu view of the
visitation by cholera, of France, INDUCES
in the following historical "reminiscences Of
its appearance in this county thirty years
ago: at is just thirty years since Ian
caster county was visited by tho ravages
of Asiatic cholera Tho epidemic was
confined to Columbia. 1t ragged in that
borough for ten days aud resulted fatally
in 1877 GASES. On the evening of Septem
Der 7, 1854, a family Of sick omigrants got
off the Philadelphia train. Two OF them
died the next day, and physicians pro.
nounced the disease to be cholera. This
was ON Friday. On Saturday twonty three
Columbians lay dead and on Sunday
there were twenty seven more vic
Tins, Half tho population of Columbia
fled the town. The scenes there dur
ing those days, as recited by men
still living who went through them and
suffered by them, were terrible. Men in
apparent good health were stricken on the
street and in an hour were dead, aud in
another hour buried, The sights were
sickening; but they inspired many strong
men and bravo women to faco the dangers
ard to woIk with calm herosm that only
such occasions invoke, and steadily but
surely the dread disease was abated until
finally it's rayages ceased. During this
time there'were at least two deaths In this

Blaine,s New Promises OF Reform.

Mr.. Blaine, In his letter Of acceptance,
took particular occasion to avOw his
attachment to the principles of civil ser
vice reform in the matter of filling con
sulates. In this lies the difference be
tween holding an office aud being a
candidate for one.
When Mr.. Blaine WAS secretary OF
state he used the little patronage of his
department as belonging of his own.
He removed his enemies, appointed his
friends and dependents, and prostituted
the service generally to the lowest of
personal and party necessities. lie then
held unrestrained power, not only in his
own department, but in many others
where the question of patronage was
concerned.
Now that he is a candidate for pre3i-
dent, and a demand for better and
higher service has arisen he Is compelled
to recognize it in theory. But no
sane man believes for moment
that he either could or would, or
would If he could, pay the slightest al
tsntion to these promises if he became
president.
Blaine is nothing If not a spokesman.
The beginning, the continuation and
every stage of his public career, have
been dependent upon spoiIs and spoils
distributions. His only profitable con.
tracts during the war, both before and
after he entered Congress, were at the
expense of the service, both civil and
military, in money and honesty and he
has never failed to follow the precedent
set thus early In his career.

eArURpAY EVENING. JULY ae. ,,se4.
Receiving stolen Goods.

The inefYectiveness Of the execution OF
the laws is we'll exemplifed In the case
Of Mrs. Mandelbaum who has just been
arrested In New York for receiving
stolen goods, although the police say
that she has been carrying on the bust
ness 10 their knowledge for twenty five
years. The only reason suggested for
the impunity with which she has SO long
done q profitable business with thieves,
under the eyes Of the New York police
mon. is that proof of her guilt could
not be obtained. This is itself a
severe indictment of police efficiency.
Certainly where crime is suspected by
police force 1t should find the evidence
that it does or does not exist In less
time than twent y-five years. The busi-
ness OF receiving stolen goods is one
that Is particularly open to discovery. 1t
Is not credible that the evidence Of 1t
could not be discovered with prol er
vigilance. 1t is said that there are
several Of these places in New York
and the police seem to know just where
to 90 to look for the plunder of
thieves. In the Mandelbaum investi
cation 1t haa been found that
goods were carried to her depository by
the piece from the New York stores
where they were stolen. She seems to
have largely confined her business to
such wholesale trade. Her houses were
stored with valuable silks. The detec-
tive who dealt with her bought them by
the thousand dollars worth. One Of the
remarkable features of the case is the
fact that New York store keepers are so
largely robbed without their knowledge.
Seemingly there must be completely on
the part of employees. In fact the suspi- |
cion arises that the chain Of thieves start. |
ing In the store, embra ced the police |
force, before the arrangement was made
That enabled Mrs. Mandelbaum to &C
cumulate fortune IA receiver OF
,tr 'en goods in her three houses. 1t has
long been charged that the disorderly
houses in New York were under police
protection and 1t is generally believed.
With honest executors, their laws are
to the people. The exposures
which are 50 abundant nowadays of the
Of the law, should serve
10 arouse public judgment to the need
Of removing the cause and of establish
lag the vigilant administration of jus
tice which is their one great need.

NOT content with his record AS Pro
hibitionist in Maine, and the many prac
tical evidences he has given for the past
thirty years of sympathy with that idea,
Mr.. Blaine went so far, by means of
friends acting for him, as to solicit the
nomination of that organization at its
recent Pittsburg convention. w. w.
Dudley, pension commissioner, who
recently visited the Maine candidate at
his house, went to Pittsburg with the
svowed intention of securing endorse.
ment or nomination, and another federal
olilcer, Hiram Price, commissioner of
Indian affairs, accompanied him. Aside
from showing where the candidates
sympathies lie, 1t also demonstrates his
idea OF the public service. II he can and
VIII thus use officials while he is merely
q candidate, to what length would he moi

Now forS Tribune, March J, 1885,
Governor Cleveland vetoes the tIv, cont
fare BILL The message containing his
reasons for so doing is straightforward
and iorcible and we believe will be nro.
nouncod sound by most of those who wore
strenuous in their demands for a reduction
OF fares on the elevated roads. \
Mr. Roosevelt, of this city, one OF tho
most influential members of tho House
whose probity is as generally recognized
as his ability, doubtless voiced the sopti-
ment OF many like himself who supported
tho bill whom, after the veto was read
yesterday, he confessed with characteristics
manliness that he had voted for il in
answer to popular clamor and against his
best Judgment, and that no now though,
1t should not become a law. Popula,
olamor passed tho bill. But Governor
Cleveland did not have respect to popular
"'"'nor. lie had respect for the mandates
of the law.
