Mr.. Biaine's campaign has run against
another snag. A rather excitable paper
in New York, called the Irish WorM,
and edited 10y that rather uncertain
quantity in politics and journalism, Mr.,
Patrick Foord, has been pretending TO
support Blaine as the friend of Ireland.
Now come along a dozen esteemed
contemporaries with reprints from the
Irish World, edited by the same man,
less than three years ago showing what
his opinion was of Blaine when that
statesman was dealing with an interna'
tional question in the matter Of the
prisoners of Kilmainham.
Upon that occasion the Irish World,
In Its issue of December 10, 1881, passed
this judgment on Blaine aud Baineism
Broken In health and threatened with
blindness, Mr.. Boyton has at length been
released from Kllmainham. He passes
from the prison to the hospital, there,
perhaps, to eud his life, the latest victim OF
British tyranny.
There Is no moro shameful chapter in
the history Of our international relations
than the one which records how this Union
soldier has been allowed to pine in hi
prison cell week after week without the
government for which he risked his lii,
interfering to secure for him even so mucl
as trial by jury. The Boyton case will
ever remain blot on our history.
The man who has been guilty Of allow
ing this Union soldier to DO imprisone,
without trial 10 a foreign country on
vague suspicion ought to be driven from
puolic life. In his fiunkeyism to the Eng
lish government James Blaine has refuse(
to protect American citizens whom he wa
bound by every principle Of law to exten,
protection to. Such q man has no concep
tion of what is due to the honor of tn
United States, and should never again b
placed In position where he can disgrac
our government.

The Cholera.

some one has died in Philadelphia with
cholera symptoms, In the fast cholera
time OF less than twenty-four hours i'll
ness, and his physician says 1t was
Asiatic cholera, while other doctors say
it was q severe attack Of cholera morbus !;
as it no doubt was, or at least something
else than Asiatic cholera, as any intelli-
gent person would know, since the
cholera does not appear sporadically,
and when it comes IL leaves long trail
behind IL. 1t is perhaps possible that
the cholera germ could have leapeu
from Toulon to Philadelphia at q
bound, borne b. some European
passenger, but it is altogether impropa-
BILE that II should have reached here 50
quickly In an isolated way without
appearance of the disease on the ocean
or at the Atlantic European ports. We
NAV rest in the safe assurance that the
cholera is not yet among us, and that we
will have further Sarning before 1t
comes. That 1t will be here is very
probable. No quarantine Is likely to
keep it out, and 1t therefore be-
hooves us to prepare for Its
coming with such sanitary pre-
cautions as will limit the power of the
pestilence. DIR. Koch's discovery, that
the disease is spread by living organ
isms in the lower bowels, il 1t is correct
one would think should lead to the find
ing of medicine that will destroy then
where they are created, and 81
diminish the danger of intec
tion as to rob the pest of 1T
destructive effect. Such knowledge as
has been gained ought to give the power
to control the disease, and doubtless VIII
do so in time. Meanwhile We know that
care in what Is taken into the stomach
is invited by disorder that
has its location there. Water
that has been boiled and food
that has been well.cooked will afford
no opportunity for the entrance of living
parasites into the system and dead ones
are not harmful. We need not fear the
cholera If we guard the mouth; which
should make 1t less dreaded than the
fever germ, which enters through the
air we breathe, they say.

many theories iudulged in by those of hor
neighbors, who scout the idea of Divine
intervention. Some say that her disease
could have been nothing more serious
IMAM throat affection. They assert that
the attending physicians diagnosis was
incorrect, aud that tho disease could not
certainly have been consumption, while
there arc many who believe that the doc.
tors treatment and medicine administered
were the cause OF the speedy relief.
However. large number of Miss Ashton's q
friends believe that her recovery is an
other illustration OF faith cure, aud fre-
quently refer to tho affair to induce less
pious people to pay moro attention to their
religious wants.
One lady in New York, in writing t.
Miss Ashton, states that she il alsC
afflicted with consumption, and wants to
know how much time must be spent IL
