A GREAT OFFER.
The WEEKLY JOURNAL
for the Campaign at
% CENTS

In order to place the WEEKLY INDIANA
STATEJ JOURNAL in the home of every Repub
Ican in the State, and thus do good campaign
service for the Republican party, we have de-
cided to send the paper till after the presiden-
tial election for 25 cents.
THE WEEKLY JOURNAL is a complete family
newspaper. It is specially edited, and much
of the matter appearing in it is especially pre-
pared for the wants Of the weekly readers. It
is compendium Of the NEWS OF THE WORLD
from all quarters; it has full and accurate mar
ket reports; its editorials are political, social
and general; it has the news Of the State
and Of the city. It's literary and miscellane-
Gus features are Of the best.
The WEEKLY JOURNAL is a newspaper that
should be in every family in Indiana and at
the price named for it there is no reason why
it should not be, at least during the exciting
and important campaign upon which the
country has now entered Political COM
mittees cannot do better than to see that
copies of THE WEEKLY JOURNAL are placed
in the hands of those persons in their
counties who are not now readers Of
some sound Republican paper The
tariff question is the one issue which
is likely to be most prominently dis
cussed, and to this the Journal pays especial
attention advocating the maintenance of the
principle Of protection to American industry
in whatever revision Of the tariff laws may be
made necessary in the future developments Of
business and labor. In this question the
farming community is deeply interested, and
the discussions of the Journal will be
largely directed to the agricultural aspects Of
the question.
THE WEEKLY JOURNAL is the only paper in
Indiana that publishes regularly Ten Pages,
and this will be continued throughout the
campaign, despite the low price. Send in
names at once, either singly or in clubs, and
thus get the full term for the money.

New YORK, Aug. 9.-The Sun of Saturday

Consul Mason,s Renort.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9-Frank H. Mason.
United States consul at Marseilles, in dispatch
to the State Department in relation to the chol-
era at that place and Toulon, says
1t appears that, notwithstanding all the
progress in medical science and the very perfect
arrangements for collecting and treating the
stricken victims of the scourge, more than two
thirds of those attacked have died, even during
the first fortnight of the epidemic when all the
sanitary conditions were most favorable The
almost immediate transmission of the disease
from Toulon to Marseilles, and the enormous
death rate of 20 per cent in tile earliest stage of
the epidemic, seem to prove that sanitary science
and medical skill have made but little substan-
tlal progress in dealing with the AsiatIc cholera.
A second feature of the present epidemic is the
v1gor and deadliness Of its attack as compared
with that of the last great cholera summer, 1865
The rapldity and virulence of this development
are attributed in some measure to the intense
damp and sitting heat which has prevailed dur
ing most of the days since the Both of June
There are physicians of Judgment and ex-
perience who maintain that dessication is the
only effective destroyer ofcholeraic microbe on a
large scale, and that dry. hot weather. while it
may be unfavorabe for those already attacked
is most effective in staying the spread of the
contagion.
Another noticeable feature Of the present
visitation has been the Simultaneous and sudden
appearance of the maady in all parts of the
city Of Marseilles. Fugitiyes from here have
died at Grenoble and other towns in Southern
France but the epidemic has not thus far been
killed there, nor have any persons been at
tackled. except such as brought the contagion
from this city or Toulon. In view of the enor-
nous emigration which has occurred since the
outbreak three weeks ago estimated by good
authority at 100, 600 persons from Marseilles and
81, eco from Toulon, and the distribution of this
vast contingent throughout France Italy,
Switzerland and Netherlands, it is noteworthy
and encouraging that no authenticated case Of
cholera has occurred among this army of fIloi-

six Shocks at Boston.

Boston, Aug 1O.--No less than six distinct

this afternoon. Professor Pickering, Of Harvard
Observatory says he first noticed tremendous
movement Of the earth, followed by the
swaying Of buildings and the cracking
of timbers The shock was first noticed
about. 2:02 PM, continuing about ten seconds
He has no record of previous shocks, they being
SO short as to make it impossible to compute
accurately the extent or duration. The shocks
were plainly felt throughout the city, and were
very slcarly defined in the outlying district

Republican Government.

I.oNDoN Aug. 1o--An inspired article has
appeared in Lloyd's Weekly, the chief organ Of
the working classes, on the politics Of the
Prince Of Wales. The writer says the Prince Of
Wales has no belief in the policy Of effacement
of the empire, and will not shrink, when neces-
sary, from an assertion or extension Of imperial
responsibilities, though opposed to aggression.
He is therefore, drawn to the
Radicals, who have broken from the
traditions of the Manchester peace
party The article further recites that the heir
apparent to the throne of England is free

of the projection policy in other countries on the
ground that hostile tariffs beget other forms Of
international hostility. He considers that many
