At the time of the dynamite outrages &c was
said that English employers OF labor would
take revenge for those misdeeds by discharging
all the Irish I'm their service. The story is now
revived In connection with Parnelrs campaign
insarusS Ions To his Irish supporters. 1t is said
that certain liberal members, who have lost
their seats or have had their usual n1ajoritfes
reduced by the transfer Of the Irish vote to the
tory candidates at Mr.. Parnelrs direction,
have met and pledged themselves not to en-
ploy Irish labor i'm the future, and 1t is asserted
that this scheme will be widely pursued by the
liberal capitalists at Birmingham and other in
dustrial centers. But the report cannot he
any better founded now than before Such a
policy would be almost incredibly wrong
headed and stupid. The great majority OF the
employers OF labor in England belong To the
liberal party, and IL would never do for that
party which sets up as the special friend of the
people to take this position against the laboring
classes. Besides, the manufacturers and others
need the labor of the Irish quite as much as the
Irish need employment. There would be a coli
lapse In business in England if the millions of
IRISH laborers were discharged. Self1nterest,
not TO speak of higher considerations, would
prevent the adoption ef any such proscriptive
policy The talk is probably the idlest vapor.
1t Is quite inconsistent with the open anxiety
of Mr.. Gladstone to come to a friendly under
standing with Mr.. Parnell. How absurd ii
would be for these two leaders To be arranging
a political alliance while the capitalists of Mr..
Gsadstone's party were dIscharging their en-
ploy In body because of their race-sympathy
with Mr.. Parneii,

There Is legal maxim to the effect that

be commended to the attention of the custom
house officers VINO recently overnauIed the
JuntAta and compelled the officers to pay duty
on their carios. Altogether about 81. 500 was
collected, which represents the tariff dues on
the kncknacks which a score OF officers had
accumulated, in exchange for their pocket
money, during three years cruise in the an
tipodes.

as pennies he might be better off, The report
OF the Secretary of the Treasury shows that in

system of fraudulent importation in use among
business houses by which the government is
cheated Out OF millions annually. Secretary

Will Cholera Come?


Doctor there seems to be some dispute about
the expected cholera visitation; are youglooking
for itg' we asked of one of our active sanitary
physicians, a few evenings since.
WELL" responded the man of medicine. 81
certainly hope there will be none but don't
think it wise to shut our eyes and do nothing
till the dreaded disease has actually arrived
According to my belief there will be some
cases of cholera here within the next few
weeks. and then the extent of its spread
and devastation will depend entirely upon our
readiness to harbor or suppress it. Ii every
thing about premises is in perfect sanitary
order and every suspicious spot is disinfected
and kept disinfected, there need be no great
alarm but true disinfectants are not used any
thing like universally as they should be, con-
sidering the great danger TO which we are any
day liable
You say true disinfectants; may we ask to
what You refer2'
Certainly and I am glad you asked the aues
tion, for many people yet don't know what to re-
ly upon, and it's wrong that they should waste
money on worthless preparations
MY personal experience with disinfectants
has been constant. and am free to admit that
for the destruction of disease producing mat
ter, for purifying our waste pipes, water Closets
cesspools and vaults-in fact, for all domestic
Notwithstanding vet has proved so useful or
reliable as Platts Chlofides. This article Wa
physicians have used aud recommended for
years aud am glad now to see it advertised
for upon its liberal and universal use base my
hopes that the terrible cholera may be kept
away"
The disinfectant can easily te procured at any
drug store, aud while it is entirely odorless yet
it is very powerful, and is sold at very reason
able price
