IT is stated that the greatest dan
ger from cholera, should it reach this
country. will be in those places which
have the poorest drainage and the
most uncleanliness. The Massachu-
sets state board of health asserts
that from past experience the danger
from the disease will be much less in
clean places. Recent Investigations
show that the greatest source of. dan
ger lies in contaminated water. The
e&cretions from the bowels. of the
cholera patients are the principal con-
veyors of the disease. Such excre-
lions should therefore be burned. In
cities and towns most rigid investi-
cation of the security Of the water
supply from such contamination
should be exercised.

BEECHER, the reverend gentleman,
has been heard from again. This time
he is very emphatic in his determining
ton tc support Mr.. CIev Gland for the
presidency. He says:
"While 1 forebore, L waited until l
had adequate light. l am satisfied
now that Cleveland is the proper man
for the president of the United States,
and that as against Mr.. Blaine, Cleve-
land is an angel of light. How any
man can vete fer Blaine and feel a
conscientious scruple about voting for
Cleveland on the ground of morality,
surpasses my conception, for l regard
Blaine as one of the most corrupt men
we ever had in our government. L have
no hesitaney in telling my opinion in
regard to the candidates. What part
L shall take in the advocacy of Cleve-
land, can tell better after 1 return
to the city from my vacation"
Mr.. Cleveland may feel great relief
and take consolation from this decla-
ration, but some Of his friends take it
mildly, very mildly.

The people will not knowingly vote to

intolerable. It is getting monotonous

MEXICO, PAST AND PRESENT.
Great Changes That Have Taken
Place in the Sister Republic.

San Francisco Chronicle.
Mexico has been asleep, but is waking
up. A few years ago its metropolis was
as remote as though vast seas, instead of
the Rio Grande, separated it from the
United States. But in a few months it
will have rail connection with New
York. 1t was land hunger that tempted
the invasion of Mexico in 1848. but trade
suggested the second conquest. The
Americans under Scott carried desola-
ton; those led by railway presidents
have brought increase of wealth. Com
pairing the condition of our nearest
neighbor in 1880 with that of to-day. the
changes observed are radical and sweep
ing. Then Northern Mexico was COM
paratively a wilderness, and but little
was known regarding the interior re-
sources. There were no villages; there
was little business: there was no stability
of government Travelling north or
east or west from Mexico city was a haz-
ardous proceeding. Armed banditti in
tested the highways, and the numbering
stages were breeders of discomforts. So
great, indeed, was the danger to life that
trade had no alternative but to be stag
nant, and the people lived in almost to-
tai ignorance of the present advanced
civilization. Lands We're neglected.
towns and cities were running to waste,
mines were undeveloped and capital did
not dare seek investment where such in
security existed. Mexico, in fact. was
far behind the times ignorant, lazy, use
less. In 1878, the first movements were
inaugurated toward building RAILWAYS
President Diaz then, as now, one of the
most energetic men, begged Americans
to develop his country. Through his
efforts aid was granted railway compa-
nies by the government and public spir-
tied individuals, and the mercantile revo-
luton began. Millions of money were
subscribed in the United States to the
new enterprise. Lines were surveyed
one after another, grades were made, and
the work of laying rails began at once.
