THREATENED PESTILENCE.

This country must awaken to the very disa-
greeable fact that it is seriously threatened
with two forms of pestilence-the smallpox
and the Asiatic cholera. The former conta-
gion has prevailed with increasing virulence
all summer, at Montreal, where over 1000
deaths have occurred since April last. 1t is
now finding its way across the border, and has
already appeared at some half dozen places
widely separated in the United States. Sew
eral cases have been reported in New York
city, two in Newport, r. L, and one
in Chicago Energetic measures may
result in stamping it out but with
the near approach of cold weather,
be serious undertaking to get rid of it. But
more deadly plague now asserts itself on
the American side Of the Atlantic 1t can
hardly be denied that the Asiatic cholera has
found foothold in Nova Scotia, at port
called Huntsville, where, since the LIST of Sep
TENDER, thrty-two deaths have occurred, be-
ginning with that Of sea captain, fol-
lowed shortly by his entire family. Of course,
this plague will halt during the wintermonths,
as is its custom, but with the return of
warm weather, according to its nature,
it will resume its deadly march
where it left off, 1t would be criminal to ex-
cite undue alarm, for the danger to the United
States is not imminent; but there can be no
doubt that the wisest thing to do, and do at
once, is to take every step toward staying the
plague where it now is. It would not be a
bad idea for the government to take part in
seeing what can be done toward preventing
fresh outbreak of the cholera at Huntsville
next year. Twice before, at least, isscourge
has made its way into this country by way of
Nova Scotia and the st. Lawrence river. The
effort to check it now should be prompt and
energetic

Congressman Cobb's View of the Present Ad-
MISUNDERSTANDING Telephone Stock.
Interview in Washington.
II believe the President to be good man.
am willing to confess now that was afraid of
him when he was nominated. We Western Dem
ocrats are rather chary Of Eastern Democrats,
but think Mr. Cleveland is by all odds the best
of New York Democrats. l do not think that
the Democrats should find TOO much fault with
the administration. 1t is hampered by the civil
service law, which was unduly and improperly
extended by the regulations attached to it by
the last administration. IL the Democratic
party is going to desert the President over
question of patronage, it will simply commit
suicide. If the party does not sustain the Presi-
dent it has no future. There is no getting away
from the logic of the situation. The people of
this country are becoming very impatient over
disputes about Offices. They may rise up some
day and smash both parties. 1 should not be at
all surprised to see such a breakup come"
Mr.. Cobb was asked what he thought, as a
Democrat and a friend of the administration, of
the position of the Attorney general in the tele-
phone case. He said: ''Mr. Garland can only
do one thing; he must get rid of his stock.

IT is superfuous to question Arthur L.
Wright as to his attitude on the $1OO license
His character as man of business and as a
citizen is such as not to allow Of the suspicion
that he would compromise it by failing to
vote as he is morally pledged by the platform
on which he has consented to stand. Mr..
Wright will vote to make the saloon license
800, and, besides this, will, by his experience
and ability, be one of the most valuable MEM
bers the Council could have.

REFERRING to Judge Hoadly's "model
village of Glandorf, to which allusion is
made elsewhere, Judge Foraker replied, in
his speech at the Toledo joint debate:
''He told us that it was the model village of
Ohio, and then told US a number of other
things concerning the habits of the people
who live there, and then told us that not a
single Republican lived there. want to read
to you the following, which has just been
handed to me on this platform: Il lived at
Ottawa, within one mile of Glandorf, for
eighteen years, and it is not an incorporated
village and has more drunkenness than any
other village of its size in Ohio thrice renewed
applause], and it is notorious for petty crimes.
Ottawa has more trouble with Glandorf than
with her own citizens"

DISCOVERY has been made that Ohio is be-
ing flooded with Republican State tickets of
1853. These will defeat all but the head of
the ticket and Brown, for Treasurer as they
are the only ones Of the present ticket who
were on the ticket of 1883. 1t is believed to
be intended to beat the Republican candi-
dates for Supreme Judge and assemblymen,
but it will be fatal to others. Our readers
should be on the alert. The Democratic man
ayers are up to every scoundrelly scheme to
defeat an honest vote and fair count.

In his speech at Toledo, in the Joint debate


with Judge Foraker, Governor Hoadly said:
'"There is model village of Ohio, yet
don't want to pain my distinguished adversary
too much when tell him that there are at
least dozen saloons in GIandorf that after
mass on Sunday the men go to a saloon, men,
women and children, there drink glass of
wine and there drink slightly exhilaratng
glass of beer with their husbands and fathers;
they talk over the news of the week. They
are better citizens for the mass and for the
drinking than they were when they came"
The sacrament and the saloon placed on a
par! Three years ago the Democratic party
carried a transparency in street parade in
Columbus, o., on which the Saviour was de-
picted turning water into wine, with a legend
declaring that Jesus was liquor maker! And
yet, in the interests of such a man and such
party, a Christian minister leaves his pulpit,
and is making political campaign!

A WASHINGTON special says: 'The colored
observer, who has been in charge Of the Pen
sacola office ever since he was assigned to
duty there, will shortly be relieved, as his
presence in an official capacity is distasteful

unnecessary to insist upon his remaining
there. He would not have received that as

had the fact of his being colored occurred to

GRANT AND THE BLOODY SHIRT.
What He Would Probably Say if He Were
Alive at the Present Moment.

Dr6SenG

Suppose that General Grant were living now,
and were fully cognizant of what is going on in
Virginia, what would he be likely to say2 Sup
posing that he should visit Virginia and travel
about the State, what would he behold2 He
would see the Bourbons gathering together at
their meetings to be addressed by Fitzhugh Lee.
He would see Fitzhugh Lee, mounted upon his
uncie's saddle, and the horse he rode arrayed
with Lees old rebel war trappings, riding over
the public highways escorted to his meetings by
troop of rebel cavalry, carrying their old re bel
battle-fags and banners inscribed with notices
intended to recall the lost cause. He
would hear the rebel yells and the South
ern war songs sung at these Democratic
meetings. He would hear speakers who had
been officers in the rebel army appealing to their
hearers with arguments based upon the memo
ries of the Shareholders secession rebellion and
the good times of the chivalry in the days of
slavery, and trying in the most incendiary man
ner TO in1ame them with hatred OF coored
Republicans and their white friends, and to in
tensify their hatred of the national union
North. All about him would be Haunted the
rebel bloody shirt. He would witness fierce
and malicious rebel bloody-shirt campaign and
see the rebel bloody shirt exhibited at all FitZ-
hugh Lees meetings and wherever meeting of
Democrats was held. He would see more intense
bloody-shirtism at one Virginia Bourbon meet
ing than at all the Republican meetings ad-
dressed by John Sherman in Ohio during this
campaign put together

is there any doubt what his utterances would
have been2 Does any one donbt that he would
have famed out with honest indignation, and
that some of the severest and sharpest com
ments that have ever been spoken by him would
have characterized his opinion of these outrages2
If to protest against them is to wave the bloody
shirt, would he not have waved it2

Piles of the platform, otherwise voters will OPP
pose him. The mugwumps who protest
against the Republican platform have ex-

tween these two authorities which ought to
be adjusted before more compliments are
