CHNLERA

If the cholera is spreading in Europe, as it
is reported it is, it cannot be kept from our
shores. Its visit may be expected right
speedily If it cannot be kept away, its fatili-
ty must be resisted by precautionary and pre-
ventive measures. The New York state Board
of Health is moving and proclaiming an adj
MONETARY warning of the impending danger.
1t considers the possibility and facilities for
the introduction OF cholera into the country
too obvious to be disregarded Once intro
duced here, it will be difficult, if not impos-
sible to arrest its spread. Timely prevent
i've measures before its arrival should be in
augurated.
The New York state Board of Health says ::
''Now, before the exotic infection has come,
let all local boards of health and all house
holders lose no time in enforcing such thor
ough scavenging and cleansing, such clean
ing of sewers, drains and bitches, and such
ventilating, drying, lime-washfng, and dis
injecting of cellars and all damp and I'M
clean places, that if cholera comes its infect
i've germs shall find no soil or foul service in
which to propagate epidemically."
All local boards of health, all householders
and citizens should give heed to these i'm
portant suggestions. The premises of every
household should be rigidly and thoroughly
cleansed. Neglect will be fatal, and where
there is gross, careless, or ignorant neg. ect,
renovation should be enforcAl by public au-
thority. Neglected premises not only en-
danger their own residents, but surrounding
neighborhoods.
The cholera germs find place in filth, in
foul air, in impure drinking water, and to
neglect to guard against these is to the last
degree perilous. 1t may be regarded as
settled fact that the epidemic is sure to come
tothese shores. The telegraph may announce
any day its arrival at some of the sea-ports
No time should be lost in adopting prevent
i've measures everywhere to meet and ward
off, or mitigate rayages of the dreadful dis
ease.
/ No portion of the country is so remote
from sea-bound ports, or river hsrbors, or
railroad depots, as to be exempt from its Wis
tation. Absolute cleanliness of streets, al
leys and household premises, is the only eff
ectiye weapon we have to resist this dread
pestileuce. Negligence now, in regard to
this is criminal

WARD MURDER TRIALS.
All of the Remaining Cases Dismissed
and the Defendants Discharged.
Especial Telegram to the Globe

GRAND Forks, July 17.-When court assem-
bled to-day Assistant District Attorney Pratt
nollied the indictments in the twelve remaining
cases on the docket for the murder of the Ward
boys
District Attorney Ball said he regretted that
the situation was such as to almost compel this
course, but he concurred with his assistant. He
said the dismissal of the indictments was moved
with the full consent and at the suggestion of
DR.. Ward, father of the deceased men. The ac-
quittal of Lair, whom Turpin swore killed Charles
Ward and Turpin's acknowledgment that he him
self killed Fred Ward, left the prosecution
powerless to convict the others.
The judge, in dismissing the prosecutions, on
motion of the prosecuting attorney, stated that
it was the failure of the jurors aud officers to do
their duty that necessitated this course The
officers referred to are believed to be the sherifTs
deputies and bailiffs.
The prisoners, on being discharged, announced
their intention of returning to DEVILS Lake
The juror, Holbrook, arrested for perjury, to-
day gave bail in 81 900 to appear at the next term
which will be the latter part of OQApber or first
of November.
Gov. Davis and W. W. Erwin left tonight for

WHOLESOME FOREIGN POLICY.

On the anniversary of the destruction of
the Bastile, some French students, stimula
ted by memories of the Rhine and the fate of
Alsace and Lorraine, tore down German
flag or two in Paris. It does not appear that
the flags thus made to trail in the dust were
waving. over any official place. They were
simply flung to the breeze in honor of the
day, as on our Fourth of July, the flags of
other nations are often seen displayed in
company with the stars and stripes. Them
cident has made great stir. The German
authorities took note of it, and demanded an
apology. Minister Terry has very promptly
rendered his regret to the German EN- bassa-
dor and here the matter will pro badly end
for the present
Should some drunken Englishman have
torn down the German flag, instead Of some
French student, does anyone suppose that
there would have been any disturbance about
it, None inthe least. The excitement fol-
lowing this little insignificant act demon
strates how strained are the relations of the
two countries 1t is one of the developments

CHANDLER Taxes TO raE FOODS.

CHANDLER TAXES TO THE FOODS.
1t was getting too hot at Washington for
Bill Chandler, and he has fed to the noun
tains of Hepsidam, or in other words to the
mountains of New Hampshire. The state
ment is made that it is not known at the
Navy department how long Secretary Chand-
Ter will be absent, but he is not expected to
return for some time. Admiral Nichols will
act as Secretary until his return Chandler
has grown very tired of being the target of
so much harsh criticism and is particularly
sore that his party friends are voiceless in
defense of the notorious public plumber that
has been accomplished through the Navy de-
partnent Before he was appointed Secre-
tary of the Navy, Chandler was a lobbyist and
agent for John Roach, into whose princely
fortune has gone no inconsiderable part of
the 1879, 600, 900, that congress has expended
on the Navy in the last eighteen or twenty
years. If the Government had been served
with common honesty, says one thoroughly
eonversant with the matter, allowing a large
margin for favoritism and for waste, the
United States would now be the owner of the
finest navy in the world Congress has
voted more than money enough to build,
equip and send to sea far more powerful
Navy than that of Great Britain.
Allthe time that Chandler was the agent of
Roach the Navy department ''was an organ
lied brokers' shop, where the Secretary job
bed in contracts, or gave them out to favor
ties through middlemen like the Cattells, on
a fixed basis of addition, division, and 81
lence. Honest bidders had no chance for
recognition. Jobbery and rascality ruled.
Every officer who refused countenance and
help to this system of plumber was marked
and prescribed Under all the circum-
stances the Democrats in congress did right
in refusing lavish naval appropr iations to
pass into Chambers hands, on the eve of
Presidential election, with Blaine the Repub-
ican candidate for President.
President Arthur cannot escape his share
of responsibility for connecting such man
as Chandler with the Naval portfolio. When
he selected Chandler for that position he
knew very well that when Garfield appointed
him Solicitor General, the Senate would none
of him, but rejected him without ado, so
devious had been his course and so tainted
was his record.
Senator Conkling, whose advice WIS asked
