The assertion that Blaine will get the
Irish vote, or the greater part of it, isn't
heard so often now as it was few weeks
ago. The reason Is that it has been dis
covered that it has no real foundation.
There are a good many Irish Republicans,
but their number is not relatively greater
this year than it was last year or the year
before. They made it point, however,
soon after Blaine was nominated to make
a great deal Of noise, and they succeeded
TO some extent in creating the impression
that there was a regular stampede Of the
Irish voters to the Blaine standard. Per-
haps there were a few Irish Democrats
who sincerely believed that the election
Of Blaine would in some way help the
cause of Ireland.
They have, however, been undeceived.
Whatever they may have thought few
weeks ago, they are pretty well satisfied
now that Blaine has no special sympathy
with Ireland. They have only 10 examine
his record while Secretary Of State to be
convinced that Blaine never had any
great love for the Irish people, and that
II he should be elected President. he
would not advocate policy that would
justify Ireland in expecting assistance
Of any kind from this country. How
did he treat the appeals for help Of Irish
American citizens confined in British
prisons as suspected persons? The record
shows that he ignored them for months.
Surely no Irishman who is familiar with
the history of the State Department, so far
as Irish affairs are concerned, during
BIaine's management of it, can regard
the Republican Presidential candidate as
the special friend Of Irishmen or Ireland.
Lately an effort was made TO discover
this alleged strong Blaine sentiment
among Irishmen. and it was not success
full. 1t was found that in about every
case Irishmen who had always been
Democrats were Democrats yet, and would
vote for Cleveland. 1t was reported
that in Albany, n. Y, for instance, the
dissatisfaction among Irishmen with
Cleveland was very great. Investigation
proved that this report was wholly I'M
founded. The Blaine managers have not
been az careful about sticking 10 the
truth as they ought to have been. They
started out with the idea that the way to
win was to claim everything. They did
not take into consideration the effect on
the fortunes of their candidate that the
disprovaI of their claims would have.
Last week it was telegrapbed over the
country that Mrs. Parnell was offering
to sell the Irish vote to the political party
that would guarantee certain legislation
that would be beneficial to Ireland. Mrs.
Parnell denies most emphatically that she
ever entertained such a scheme. In a
letter to a New York paper she says that
she favors the election of Cleveland, and
that it is the interest of wOrkingmen to
sustain the Democratic party. OF course,
Mrs. Parnell, if she entertained such an
intention, could neither dispose of nor
deliver the Irish vote, but it appears she
never had any such intention. Before the
campaign is over the Blaine managers
will discover, probably, that to claim
/ support, where there is no ground for a
claim. is not the wisest way to conduct
/ political campaign.

The New York SUMS chief objection to
Cleveland seems to be that he has not
been a long time in public life, and has
not PLAYED a conspicuous part in national
affairs, 1t saws: ga candidate for Presi-
dent should be one who has rendered
great services to his party and great SER
vices to the country. There are such men
among the leaders of the Democracy, but
the National Democratic Convention OF
1884 passed them by"
The Sun appears to think there are
members of the Democratic party who are
entitled to the Presidential nomination OF
the party, and that the party has no right
to ignore their claims.
The Democratic party doesn't owe It's
leaders anything. Whatever they enjoy
in the way of fame they owe to the party.
Because a man hasrendered great services
to his party and to his country it doesn't
follow that be ought to be hOnOred with
Presidential nomination. y man Is not
nominated for the Presidency on account
of what he has done as a public servant,
but because he has qualities which JUS
tisv the conclusion that he will make
GOOD President, because he represents IN
a more marked degree Il popular pIinci
DIe or governmental measure, or because
he appears to stand a better chance Of
being elected than any one else.
There may be excellent reasons for
passing by all the eminent men in the
party and taking a comparatively obscure
man; and it doesn't follow that man
who has had comparatively little expert
ence in national affairs will make an in
competent President. What amount OF
experience in national affairs had Lincoln
and Arthur when they became PTesl-
dents? 1t will be admitted, however, that
Lincoln was the best President the Re-
publican party has given the country.
and that Arthur's administration Of
affairs has been very generally commend
ed by both political parties.
It is true that Cleveland has not played
any part in national politics, but he has
proved himself capable and honest in the
very important places that he has filled.
The majority of the nominating cOnven-
ton thought his record and his success in
State and municipal offices pointed him
out as the proper man for the Democratic
standard-bearer. Entertaining that view
it was their duty to nominate him. In
making nomination the aim is to do the
best that can be done for the party and
the country, and not to honor man who
has rendered eminent public services.

d. Fl. Elliott, Esq, Travelling Agent
Of the Savannah, Florida and Western
Railway, a gentleman who has done
much to develop the orange culture in
Florida by advocating and building up
quick transportation lines, estimates the
orange crop of "a and 'S5 at a million of
boxes. He says the fruit will be much
larger than heretofore, and the boxes will
average $50 oranges each. This
will make the crop 15O,OOO,OOO
OF about three oranges for
every inhabitant in the United States.
Last year Mr.. Elliott put the crop at
100000 boxes, and it was thought he was
too enthusiastic on the subject. The crop,
however, amounted to $4,000 boxes. The
fruit growers have discovered a means of
overcoming the effects Of the crust mite"
on the orange, and therefore the fruit will
be brighter than heretofore, and ought on
that account to command higher average
prices.

The snrend of the Cholera.

The alarm in this country respecting
the cholera has TO a great extent abated.
The reason is, doubtless, that the season
has advanced so far that there is notmuch
prospect of its finding a lOdgment on our
shores this year. In Europe, however,
it is spreading rapidly and increasing in
virulence. The special report of the New
York Times shows that at the beginning
OF the epidemic at Toulon and Marseilles,
death did not follow an attack of the dis
ease as quickly as it does now. Up to
Aug. 10 no case of death under four hours
after the attack was recorded. Now
deaths in three hours are frequent, and
one death in two hours is mentioned. In
France, up to last Saturday, about 1900
deaths had occurred from cholera. These
deaths were scattered through 131 towns
and villages. Up to Aug. the disease
had made its appearance in only 81
places. but in the two following weeks
it appeared in 81 new places. 1t
is making its way rapidly now i'm
italy and in Switzerland. 1t is not be-
lieved. however, that it will spread to an
alarming extent in Switzerland, as the
cold weather viii soon check it. AL
though the disease is gradually disappear
ing from TouIon and Marseilles, the initial
points of the infection, there is every
reason to think that the worst of the cpl
demie has not vet been seen in Europe.
The health authorities in this country will
make the gravest kind OF a mistake if
they show any Ieniency whatever to yes
sells that are even suspected Of containing
the disease. There are two vessels at the
New York quarantine station at present
which are regarded as dangerous. One is
loaded with rags from Calcutta and the
other is reported to have had cases Of
cholera on board. The Health Officer will
act wisely if he refuses to allow either
vessel to pass up to the city. 1t is better
to damage commerce a little than TO take
the chances of destroying thousands Of
lives and of doing incalculable injury to
commerce,

AS the Republican committees feel
selieacy about actually bulldozing the
department clerks that important work
has been deputed to the Blaine and Logan
climbs. These are beginning to bring the
pressure to bear. The resolutions they
are adopting say ''that each government
emplOye should contribute toward the
legitimate expenses Of the campaign, and
any person who shall, under the guise OF
civil service reform, refuse or neglect 70
perform a plain duty should be regarded
as simply a pretender and as disloyai 70
the party.'' The fact that such resolu-
lions are considered necessary IS very
strong evidence that the rumOrs to the
effect that the clerks are making very few
voluntary contributions to the campaign
fund must be true. II they are really wise
