What 10 ne have u legislature for?
Year after year that body meets
at Albany. 1t passes bills, bills, of
doubtful utility. it charters corpor-
ate monopolies for almost every
conceivable purpose. But it never
grapples with the vital subject OF
taxation in which more than nine
teen twentieths OF the people are
directly interested. and the same old
unequal, unjust system, continues TO
grind heavily upon the people. Grip
pie their productive industries, drive
manufacturing enterprise from the

AmAx who knows John Roach wall

A MAN who knows John Roach well
talks a. follows: John Roach was
born in Cork. I was talking about him
che other day with his son Garrett,
when ! asked il his nativity WAS not
Scotch. "He was born ID Ireland"
said Garrett, "but you can set him
down rs thorough American" His
career has been ono Of tho phenomenal
ones in this country. At II years Of
age he came to America alone to hunt
out IN uncle who lived in Texas. He
found that Texas was 30 far from New
York that he concluded to remain
here. The old iron works Of James
Allaire we're then the largest in the
country. The lad sought employment
there, and was told he could be taken
on as m apprentice to learn the trade
by paying 800. He worked at odd
jobs and boarded for over year to get
that sum. When he reported to the
foreman that official called him good
for-nothing Irish brat, and refused to
set him at work. The lad marched
over to the Office. He went up to the
proprietor's desk. Pulling out his
memorandum no said: "AIr. Allaire,
I've paid you my 800. I've got your
receipt. But the foreman says I'm
good for nothing and won't take me on.
/ am good for something, and I want
my chance" Allaire was pleased with
the Irish boys pluck and he got fair
play. He was offered the foremanis
place years later and refused il. After
ward he was made foreman. The works
passed into the hands Of Theodosius
6ecor. and John Roach set up littls
shop in Georck street. His first job
was lot Of grate bars for Williams
burg brewery, which he made and do
livered himself. carrying over two or
three at time. With his own hands
he made the pillars that still form thA
front Of Bellevue Hospital When
James Allaire failed he formed STOCK
company and confined the business
with Alaire at its head. His largest
work was the Harlem Bridge. ~Ae

Labor and capital are on q see-
saw; as capital goes up, labor goes
down. In proportion rs rent and
usury is high labor is low, in such
proportion the one is elevated and
the other depressed. In Europe

ating, their effects are seen in the
pauperixed condition of industry
and the lordly exaetions Of capital.

The epidemics Of 1880, 1845 and 1866
caused the people everywhere to adopt
preventive measures which were
thought to have great efficacy. Care in
diet was considered most important,
Of course. and fruits were almost en-
tirely discarded. Watermelons and
cucumbcrs were looked upon as pois-
onous, and even ripo peaches and other
harmless fruits we're permitted to rot.
So heavy were the losses by fruit-grow-
ers and dealers in the East in 1880 that
for few years after the plague disap-
peared no one would raise melons and
other Objectionable vegetables and
fruits for fear that they could not be
disposed Of. Boiled rice, musl and
milk, and bread and milk became the
principal articles Of diet in many fam
lilies. and meats and other heavy foods
were partaken of very sparingly. Cam
phor came into universal use as o dis
infectant, and nearly everybody wore
some Of it on the person. Flannels
were worn all summer. and plasters Of
various kinds were used on the chest
and back.

The practice Of cholera ayaccina-
ton in Spain appears to be extending
and to be really successful thing.
DR.. Ferran, Of Barcelona, has vacci-
mated moro than 800 persons. among
whom were several medical men, with
IN attenuated cultivation Of cholera
virus. The symptoms of actual inocu-
lation were pronounced and unmistak-
able. After convalescence was fully
established more active dose of the
cultivated virus was injected under the
skin, and invariably without further
effect, fact which would seem to show
that the person was no longer suscepti-
bic to the contagium of cholera. A
Barcelona commission Of inquiry and .
Madrid commission of medical experts
have reported fayorably upon the good
results likely to accrue from, these OK
periments. and the Scolapian fathers
brought all their pupils forward for
vaccination. 1t is yet to be demon
strated that this precaution will afford
protection when cholera is actually
raging in community; but the med
ical experts are confident on the sub
ject. The result OF the experiments
and character of the symptoms pro-
duced certainly confirms the idea that
the true cholera microbe has been dis
covered.

The advocates Of cremation, says the
New York Sun, have often argued that
the graves Of the dead are forgotten
after generation or two have passed
away, and that few centuries suffice
to blot ont Of memory the exact rest
ing place Of the greatest of the worlds
heroes. They may now add to their
stock Of illustrations the fact that DR..
Schliemann is about to begin search
for the grave Of Alexander tho Great,
and that Cuba and Santo Domingo
both claim to possess the bones Of
Christopher Columbus. Until 1877 no
one ventured to doubt that the body Of
tho illustrious navigator was removed
il 1896 from the Cathedral Of Santo
Domingo, where it had reposed for two
centuries and . half, and transferred it
to the Cathedral at Havana. In that
year, however, it was announced that
the people Of Santo Domingo had dis
covered indubitable proofs that the
genuine relics Of the great discoverer
still 10y in Dominican soil, and that the
body which had been conveyed with
great pomp to Havana was not that Of
Columbus. The authentic bones, 20
called. were inferred again with inn
pressive ceremonies in the Cathedral
ct Santo Domingo on September 10,
1877, and q considerable sum of money
was raised to erect q monument over
them. The Spanish government, how
ever, and the Historical Academy Of
Madrid, still declines to admit the au-
thenticity Of the Dominican relics and
assert that the body of Columbus lies
in tho Havana Cathedral To settle
tho interesting question. il possible, the
government of Santo Domingo, it ia
announced. has invited large number
Of savants to attend the international
Congress, which will open in the Capt.
tai Of that Republic on September 10,
next The government will submit to
tho Judgment Of this Congress it,
proofs that Santo Domingo possesses
tho genuine remains Of the great sailor.

Last fall the Republicans colon
lied 100 negroes in Cincinnati, Ohio,
intending to vote them as repeaters
In the several wards Of the city, but
their plans were interfered with in
the arrest Of the repeaters and their
detention until after the close Of the
polls, when they were permitted to
return to Kentucky. The man who
prevented the contamination Of this
outrage upon the ballot-box was ar
rested and convicted upon perjured
testimony and sentenced in Decem-
Der last to . years imprisonment
The President upon presentation Of
the facts has pardoned out the man
Mullen, who was convicted. In the
9Th district Of this state the republic
cams colonized negroes to vote
against ]. G. Cook for congress; they
voted them and then had the colored
men commit perjury as did Cults
and several leading republicans, as
to the time they came into the state.
But Judge Cook secured the cor
respondence with parties ut Staun-
ton. Va, In regard to their being sent,
the time when they left, traced them
to Marshaltown, thence over the
Iowa Central, to the place Of desti-
nation, all OF which demonstrated
that they did not leave Virginia in
time, by three days to make them
citizens and voters in Iowa, ut the
congressional election that year.
Had these 100 illegal voters been
arrested and prevented from CON-
hitting the crime they did upon the
ballot box, we presume the Decerah
Republican would have justified the
punishment Of the man who should
have prevented the consumation OF
their crime Of voting illegally. It is
none too soon that such = rascal was
turned out. The fact that Cults,
elected by fraudulent votes, held his
seat to near the close Of the torn,
drew the salary to which he was not
entitled, and that he was party to
the fraud, issuing and sending the
