Preparing for the Cholera.

CHICAGO, June 12.-Dr De Wolf, city
health commissioner, is preparing to renew
his request to the city council for large
appropriation of money to be used in carry
ing out a thorough house-to-house vista
ton in the thickly populated parts of the
city i'll anticipation OF the early appearance
of the cholera. At the time of the passage
of the yearly appropriation bill, the health
commissioner asked for 5000 for this
purpose. The item was rejected by the
city council with the understanding that on
the appearance of cholera he should be
allowed the necessary funds to enable him
to do battle with it, DR.. De Wolf thinks
the time for this money to be put at the dis
posal OF his department is almost at hand.
"a thorough cleaning of the entire city,"
said an officer of the health department, lis
absolutely necessary within the next few
weeks. Of the 80, 900 buildings in Chicago
fully $4,000 need watching, both inside and
outside by sanitary inspectors. They are
the novels of the overcrowded tenements
in the poorer quarters of the city, which
are mainly occupied by foreigners. They
cannot be put in good condition except by a
large expenditure of money and by an army
Of inspectors. The health commission can
do little with the funds now at the disposal
of the department. Chicago should learn a
lesson from the smallpox epidemic OF four
years ago. AT that time there were $500
cases of smallpox in the city, from which
there resulted $500 deaths. The facts
were not made public at the time because
the health department carefully suppressed
them in order to prevent panic from the
city and serious injury to the trade. Peo-
pie would have moved away by thousands
if they had known the real condition of af-
fairs, and strangers would scarcely have
dared to come inside the city limits"

THE MAINE RIOT.

Rioting, and away up in Maine! There
must be a mistake about it. Lawlessness
in the state Of JAMES GILLESPIE BLAINE!
What does all this mean? Has the solid
South moved up North and taken possession
of the Pine Tree commonwealth? No. it
cannot be that. When Ku-kiux insurrec-
ton breaks out in the South the negroes are
the victims of the outrages The Ku-klux
in Maine are outraging white people There
is a mystery about all this. While the Re-
publican convention in Ohio was engrafting
Mr.. BLAINE's bloOdy-shirt speech in its
platform, and was arraigning the Southern
states for riotous and disordery conduct,
the neighbors OF Mr.. BLAINE, who lives in
Maine. were out on Il regular jamb0ree,
st0ning the houses of inoifenSive citizens,
MASKING in windows, firing reviewers into
apartments where women and children
were asleep, Ku-kluXing newspaper editors
and kicking up a row generally. such as
would throw any rebel, fire-eating, negro
killing, SOuthern-outrage, Ku-klux organi-
cation into dark shade. If Maine law
lessness goes on at this rate the Ohio Re-
publicans will have to change the text of
their platform or they will have Mr. BLAINE
and his Maine constituency to fight from
the word go.

FAREWELL, SUNSET.

Of all the distinguished Americans who
have gone from us, or are going, to serve
their country at foreign courts, none will
be so universally missed as SUNSET Cox.
Eliminating the wit of Mr.. Cox from the
house of representatives will make the Con-
gressional Record in the future mighty dry
reading. One of the oldest members of
congress in continuous service, Mr.. Cox is
perhaps the best known public man in the
country. 1t was very proper, therefore,
that the metropolis city which he has repre-
sented so long should give him farewell
reception before he leaves for the Orient.
The banquet at the Hoffman house last
Tuesday evening, given by the prominent
citizens of New York to Mr.. Cox, was an
occasion that had more of popular than a
political character, and men of all parties,
factions, professions and business united in
giving him hearty goodbye on his depart
ure for his new post. In the course of his
remarks in reply to the toast of his health,
Mr.. Cox said that ''America sends arms to
the Orient for war and missionaries for
peace, and after sending Turkey our inventive
genius in shooting the body and saving the
soul, we have nothing else to send but
Pennsylvania petroleum, which is to be the
light of Asia" After expressing his regret
that he must leave America Mr.. Cox thus
refers to the close of his long congressional
career:
"It is difficult thing to give up old associ-
atiOns and to form new habitudes. Since /
have resigned my place at the capitol have
wandered about through its corridors and
halls like the ghost of my departed self AL
most every image seemed to wave 'adieu.'
Even the corridors, from the old hall in which
I first served to the new chamber wherein
made the first speech, echoed with personal
thoughts and pleasant associations. But
there must be an end of all occupations, and
for wholesome, thorough living there must
be more or less of change. We must some
times fold our tents like the Arabs. No
longer for me the speakers gavel, with its
rap rap 'rap;' no longer the fierce debate
and the loud applause, which made ambition
virtue No longer the L object from the
Occidental member to spoil the work of many
months. No longer the 1ive-minutes' debate
upon six-penny appropriation. No longer
the previous question-that dynamite which
destroys so much OF parliamentary power.
'Othello's occupation's gone-gone to Helles-
pont.
And now, gentlemen, let me say in con-
clusion that while bear the commission from
the president of the United States, GROVER
CLEVELAND, with which ne has honored the
city that have served by honoring me per-
sonally, I shall also bear with me the remem-
brance of this evening as beyond all the mem
cries of my life. Sweet will be the balm OF
its recolections. / know, sir, how hard it is
to sing the Lords song in q strange land; but
I hope ever to look lovingly and revercntly to
this city of benevolence-the Jerusalem of
nv exile"

Wiley, who permitted J. j. Calvert the
alleged forger, to escape from him on the
railway train between Sandusky and Toledo
while Ell route for Chicago, has rendered
his resignation and it has been accepted.
Wiley says: Il have made fool of my
self; it was all my fault" A high police
official is quoted as stating that the only in
ference to be drawn is that Wiley admitted
the charges Of drunkenness on the train.
wiley is a man who can't stand liquor"
continued the official ''and he had great
many friends in New York with whom he
spent few hours. Calvert was sharp
enough to see Wiley's weakness" Wiley
was appointed on the force fifteen years
ago, and for ten years had been doing de-
tective work at the Central station. He
was considered one of the most efficient
officers in the service. Calvert is the man
whose name has been recently much men
toned in connection with that of Miss Eu-
genia Blair, the actress.

ate select committee on interstate commerce
began session here this forenoon. Sena-
tors Cullom, Harris and Platt were present
on behalf of the committee. John l. Rina-
ier, president of the state railway commits
sion was before the committee, and favored
the appointment of federal commission,
but was opposed to proposition permitting
railways to charge less for long than for
short haul. He believed in requiring that
rates should be given publicly. He thought
any law prescribing rates should be elastic
rather than specific. Marshall Field be-
lieved in government commission. but
thought it should devote its attentions more
to new roads than old established ones. He
believed in legalizing pool contracts, and
believed that railway pools were a benefit
to merchants. E. G. Lewis, another menu
Der of the Illinois railway commission, be-
leved in a federal commission to work in
conjunction with the state commission.

but little ways in an election. All the
Democrats have to do is to nominate good
ticket and the victory is theirs without a

allegation of fraud in the late election. the
waving of the tattered bloody shirt at this
late day, the cowardly change of front on

among themselves, all these things are cal

know they are right and trustful of their
