MANY things initiated in favor of re-
publican success in 1880, which will be
entirely wanting in 1884. Prominent
among them, is the the sadly altered
condition of the country. In 1880 we
had seasol of unexampled prosperity.
The harvests had been abundant. Pro.
duce found ready market and COM
manded high prices. Employment was
to be found everywhere and the manu-
facturer found demand for his goods,
which taxed his energies to supply
Money was plenty and the state of the
nation was hattering.
This condition of things is sadly chang
ed. Financial failures are the order of
the day. The hard earnings of thous-
ands, have been swept away in the vortex
of ruin, that has visited the county,
The financial centers of the country are
seriously disturbed and whether the dis
turbance will end in disastrous panic
or not, yet remains to be seen. In 1880
the people felt disposed to 'let well
enough alone" In 1884 they may feel
just as strongly disposed to try change
and see if it would not bring about an
altered condition of affairs.
Neither will Dorsey, the man to whom
the republican party is indebted above
all others for its success four years ago,
igure in the campaign of this year. His
methods may be used but it is doubtful
whether the republicans will find such
master hand as he to use them success
fully. The bribing experiment must be
handled very carefully or it will react on
those who use it.

CgoLER.. is the oldest disease of which

;1aoLER.. is the Oldest disease of which
we have any account. 1t was known to
the ancients AGO years before the dawn
of the Christian era. lts birthplace, and
the center from which it radiates, is the
delta of tho Gauges. 1t has repeatedly
played terrible havoc with the rude
denizens of Asia, extending its ravages
as far north as the 50th parallel of lati-
tude and also carrying its conquests into
Europe.
America has had four visitations. One
in 1882, one in 1S4S, one in 1866 and one
in 1873. The cholera which visited
Europe in 1881 fingered in the various
European countries for eight years, and
that of 1S47, twelve years. This was
given several fresh starts, however, by
importations from India, Persia and Asia
Minor. The disease has never originated
IN America but has ALWAYS been imported.
Clothing is the greatest known conductor
of the disease. 1t seems to be able to
retain its germs for great length of time
and that it is almost impossible to disin-
feet it.
The Ganges is to the Hindoo sacred
river. Thousands of Mussulmans from
all parts of Asia and Turkey in Europe,
congregate on its hallowed banks, and
gaze upon its sacred waters every year.
These pious pilgrims contract the dis
ease during their pilgrimages, and those
who escape death carry its germs with
them beyond the confines of this Mos
lem country and implant them in coun-
tries with which the people of Europe
are in constant traffic.
The disease is supposed to be convey
ed by an organism, the nature of which
is very little known. 1t was first sup
posed to be vegetable matter, but is now
generally believed to be the lowest form
of animal organism. Prevention is the
only cure and the disease can be guarded
against to great extent by the proper
use of representatives..

THE Sentinel says that the governor

THE Sentinel says that the governor.
ship is in many states, the stepping stone
to the I. S. Senate and that the Pilot is
in error, in saying that if Col. Villas was
elected governor. it would practically
retire him from the race for the Senate.
Whatever may be the custom in other
states, in regard to electing governors to
seats in the q. S. Senate, it has never
been the custom in Wisconsin. We
know of no governor of this state who
has endeavored to be elected to the Sen
ate, during his tenure of office.
Furthermore it is only very rarely that
the executive of state is sent to the
Senate, and very rarely he seeks to get
there. The Sentinel would find itself at
it's wits end, to point to q half dozen
instances in score of years, where the
governor of great state changed his
position for senatorial seat.
A man who is intrusted by the people
of state with its executive department,
is supposed to fulfill the duties for which
he was chosen and which he agreed to
perform when he put himself forth as a
Candidate for their suffrage and not go
hunting around in quest of greater
things. A ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS may be
able to fill the bill, but he is so seldom
called upon to fill the executive office,
that ftLess for that trust is not taken
into consideration in selecting him. As
general rule he is nonentity. A man
of ability wouldn't bother with the Office
for the sake of the petty emoIument he
could derive from it.

Propaganda property in Rome, b. Tie

sists of a college where students are ed

different languages are spoken, a museum
and a valuable library. Speeches were
delivered on the occasion by James G.
Jenkins, G. W. Hazelton, Geo. W. Allen
and E. A. Chaplin. Letters of regret
were received from many other pomi-
nent men of the state. A resolution was
adopted urging the American govern
ment to- make an effort to save the prop
erty from being despoiled by the vandal
Italian government.

CLEVELAND vetoed the five cent fare
bill, on the ground that it was uncon
stitutional. 1t is claimed that the veto
was hardship to the laboring man. If
this were true, it would make no differ
ence. He had sworn to support the con-
stitution of the state of New York, and
if he believed the bill to be unconstitu-
tional, he would have perjured himself
had he pursued any course different from
the one he did. But that bill was no
blessing to the poor man. He does his
travelling to and from the workshop in
the morning and evening, and the fare
at these times in the day is only five
cents. Ten cents is charged only be-
tween the hours of ten and four and the
laboring man does very little travelling
at this time of day. The ystoing of the
bill was much greater hardship to the
rich than to the poor man.
Again, monopolists and corporations
are not ungrateful for executive, iegisla-
tive or judicial fayors received. When
venal servant of the public falls in
their hands, they pay him well for his
apostasy and shield, and support him.
If Cleveland WAS tbs tool of the New
York Elevated r. r. Co., he would GER
tainly receive great favors from the Co.
in return. Is Cleveland the recipient Of
any favor at its hands? Assuredly not.
Cyrus W. Field and Jay Gould are the
principal owners of the New York Ele-
waited Railway. Field is the sole owner
of the New York Mail and Express, one
of the Associated Press papers and Gould
holds controlling stocks in the New York
Tribune, another Associated Press paper.
II Cleveland has fallen into the hands of
these two interruptions and greedy mill
ionaires, there is no position in which
he could be placed wherein he could
render them more assistance than that
of executive of the nation. If they con-
trolled him they certainly would leave
no stone unturned, to secure his election.
Yet Gould's paper attacks him with bar
barrie savageness and the onslaughts
made by Fields paper on the Governor,
are not less ferocious. If they can con-
troll Cleveland, whom they attack with
such virulence, what must be their infiu-
ence over Blaine, whom they laud to the
skies.

SANFORD of The Tribune is a repu

SANFORD of The Tribune is a repub-
lican no longer. He bows himself out
quite gracefully. In his last issue he
says:
cit is not without the deepest feelings
of regret that we have to sever old polit-
ical associations; it is the first time that
the writer will vote any other than re-
publican ticket, although a voter for
nearly twenty years, but the republican
party of to- day has proved recreant to
the grand and glorious record of its
founders and the glorious traditions of
those whose patriotism, honesty, purity
and fidelity gave it an honored name. If
its mission is not ended its usefulness
has been impaired by the trickery, cor
ruption and dishonesty of its present
leaders, and above all for the fear of tax
ing hold of aud urging forward reform
that is grander and purer in it's object.
and holier and more Humanitarian in its
purposes than any reform that has present
ed itself to the American people since
the foundation of the government"

a LITTLE less than one tenth of the
amount of sugar consumed in the United
States is manufactured here. The rest
is imported from various tropical coun-
tries. Louisiana engages in the manu-
facture of this article and of course she
must be protected. During the year
1888 the duty on this ingredient was
S44, SIT, 851, or every man, woman and
child in the United States bad to pay
tariff of SO cents for sugar consumed
In other words for every pound of sugar
that is bought the purchaser is taxed two
cents for the purpose of protecting the
Louisiana sugar manufacturer. Ii the
country was in need of this vast revenue
there might be some excuse for impos-
ing the tax. But it is not. In the vaults
of the treasury one hundred millions of
dollars are stored. They are there, the
product OF over taxation. The public
debt is being paid as rapidly as it is be-
coming due. Scandalous appropriations
are made; thousands are probably stolen
by dishonest officials and still the treas
ury is glutted with the proceeds of I'M
wise and extortionate taxation.
If this enormous tax was raised from
levying tariff on luxuries there might
be some excuse for it, but it is not
Sugar is an article that is consumed by
the rich and poor alike and in large
Louisiana are benefited by it. Hun
dreds of thousands of poor men suffer
from it.

In the event of a war, Germany can
notice 1868, 900, thoroughly disciplined
and well drilled troops, Russia $500, 900
and Austria ], 265,000. The great Euro
pean powers are continual menace to
each other. Millions of dollars are spent
yearly il preparations for wars which
may never come. 1t is little wonder
that some European nations are becom-
ing impoverished, and that their various
peoples arc seeking an asylum in Aneri-
ca, where they will be free from the
grinding taxation which is imposed on
them to support mighty military estab-
Iishmeut.

IT is to be hoped that whichever pres

pie will be sent to the court of st. james
to look after their interests. Lowell
may do well enough to grind out poetry
and originate far fetched theories, but as
an envoy he is first class failure. He
undoubtedly thinks it is pretty good
thing to be an American, but that it is
much better to be an englis Imam and
probably repines about the fate which
ordained that be should be born on this
side of the Atlantic.

The Republican State Central Com +
mittee is circulating as campaign docu-
ment, all article which was printed in the
Chicago Times in 1880, shortly after the
defeat of Gen. Hancock. The slip on
which the article is reproduced says, that
the Times is democratic paper. This
statement is false. The Times is not a
democratic paper. 1t has done more in
jury to the democratic party OF late years,
than any pronounced republican paper
in Chicago has. 1t generally gives a
lukewarm support to the democratic
nominee for president, but as soon as the
campaign is over its democracy vanlshes,
and for the ensuing three years II IS more
republican than democratic. It is as
unstable and cratic in politics, as is the
mind of its unfortunate editor and pro-
prietor.
The article itself is a masterpiece of
composition, and would be eloquent if
truth were not necessary ingredient of
true eloquence. 1t argues that the dem
ocratic party should die, but signally
fails to show any reason why it should.
Logic is supplanted by defamation. The
portion of the article that is not absolute
ly false, is mere conjecture. 1t won't
cost the democratic party vote, and of
course won't aid the republican party.
If the committee told the truth and said
that it came from paper that had nc
politics, its action would not be open to
criticism. As it is it seeks to make cap
ital by MISREPRESENTATION.

THE Rhinelanders of New York City
belong to the blue blood aristocracy.
They imagine that they are really and
truly "the Lords anointed. Strange
as it may seem. there is one scion of this
princely house who has some sense and
great deal of spirit. He married a
sewing girl and of course disgraced his
puerie relatives. Since that event took
place he has been the victim of cruel
and unrelenting persecution at their
hands. They were not content with dis
owning and disinheriting him, but have
constantly bounded him for years. He
went to Canada to avoid their persecu-
tons but their emissaries followed him
to his retreat and endeavored to bride
his wife to desert him.
One of the most troublesome of the
vermin that infested his abode, was a
New York shyster named Drake, and
Rhinelander concluded to rid himself Of
this unbearable nuisance by shooting

The would be slayer was placed under
arrest but the tormentors didn't want to
have him tried for his alleged offense.-
On the contrary they want to manage his
side of the case as well as their own

assertion they cite the facts of bis having
married beneath his station as they al
lege, and his attempt to kill Drake.
We read in novels about men impris-
oning sane persons in private asylums
for the demented, but to have man
committed to an asylum through the
medium of the courts because his rela-
tives are wealthy and powerful, is some-
thing new and too improbable to make
even theme for novelist. It is to be
hoped that the New York courts are not
yet completely subservient to money
power.

BLAINE is in an unenviable predica-
ment. The New York Tribune entered
into contract with its printers not to
cut their salaries without months notice
A short time ago their salaries were cut
without seconds notice. at this juno
ture they appealed to Blaine to redress
their grievances. He promised to aid
them but hasn't done 50. If he doesn't
do something the Printers Union threat
ems to bolt him, and if he does he fears
he will offend his worthy squire, White
law Reid, of the Tribune. Mr.. Blaine
will no doubt manage it, SO as to concili-
ate both parties, but LIE doesn't seem to
have evolved scheme that is satisfac.
tory to himself. as yet.

1T is now rumored that the democratic
programme in this state is all satisfac-
torily arranged. The threatened war
between Bragg and Delaney is to be
averted. Villas is to be nominated for
governor, Delaney for lieutenant gov
ernor and Bragg will have clear field.
In case the democrats prevail and dem
ocratic Legislature is chosen, Villas will
be sent to the U. S. Senate. In the
event of such complication, Villas will
resign the governorship and Delaney
will become governor. This is a very
nicely arranged programme but it is
hardly natured yet and will have lots of
chances to fall through before the state
convention meets.

IT is barely possible that the House of
Representatives may be called upon to
elect the next president. If Butler
should run he might get the electoral
vote of Massachusetts, and possibly he
might carry one Or two other states.-
There is also chance that st. John may
carry Kansas and his enthusiastic friends
also count on West Virginia. II such
results should be reached it might easily
happen that no candidate would have a
majority of all the votes. In that event
Cleveland would be elected president
aud Logan vice president.
