TIE CHOLERA.

Last year the cholera reached
Southern France and Spain. This
year it is believed that it will spread
over the whole of Europe and across
the Atlantic into the United States.
The physicians of the Eastern sea-
port towns are preparing for the ad-
vent of the dreaded disease, and med
ical bodies are attempting to create a
healthy public sentiment upon the
subject, in inducing municipalities to
adopt necessary sanitary measures
and preparing the minds of the peo-
ple for &n epidemic. Cholera moves
upon certain fixed rules that are as
well understood by the physician as
the astronomical laws are by the as
tronomer. Once the disease has
started on its journey out of the
plague spots of India, it marches
steadily to the West along the high
ways and by-ways of travel, so long
az it finds human beings and filth to
feed upon. Even the layman recog-
nizes this fact, and there scarcely
was any need for the physicians to
caution the people Of the Atlantic
coast that the advent of the disease
might be looked for late in the sum-
mer. The rush to Europe has ceased
and the tide of fashionable travel is
setting in toward the West this year.
So the cholera scare will prove a
blessing to the West. From New
Mexico, Colorado and the interior re-
sorts of California word comes that
all available accommodations have
been secured for the entire season by
Eastern people. Minnesota has
already profited by the influx, and
the indications are that the National
Park will not be able to accommodate
the rush. There is every reason to
hope that Montana and Idaho will
receive q fair share of this floating
population fleeing from the great
The result of this change OF
the fashionable tide for the summer
will be of material advantage to the
West. 1t will prove a great blessing
to the country, too. It will enlarge
mems minds and give them a better
idea of the greatness of u own
country and the vastness of her re-
sources and the immensely of her
possibilities. Strange as it may seem,
there are nevertheless thousands of
refined, sensible men OF
throughout the East who are
perfectly familiar with all parts of
Europe, who have traversed every
glazier in the Alps, who have sum-
.ered in the Netherlands and win
tered in Italy, but who have never
crossed the Missouri river. To these
Manitou will be indeed "a Garden
of the Gods" Yosemite a marvel and
the Yellowstone Park a revelation
in nature. Not only in a physical
sense, but in a mental and financial
sense will they be benefited by their
summers diversion. Ultimately the
West will be the gamer.

THE CASE CLEARLY STATED.

That staunch, tried and true old
Democratic paper, the Missouri Re
publican, states the present political
situation very tersely and very ex-
actly in the following: ut is enough
to change flesh and blood into stone
statues with wonder to observe the
passionate, newborn devotion of Re-
publicaDs to maxims and principles
of public policy, under q Democratic
administration, which they never
ca ed for under Republican admins
trstions. The. overthrow Of their
party has begotten in them an ardor
for pure and non-partisan admins
tration, that never surged against
their patriotic ribs before. What
serene and elevated views they have
learned to take of official duties, par
ticularly when associated with Of
fetal salaries! How impressively
they warn the country against the
train of dismal woes that wait on that
atroc;o us Democratic rule of ito the
victors belong the spoils'-and with
what a depth of pathos do they dep
recate the adoption of this vicious
and depraved practice, under the
Cleveland Administration! But let
us ask, with all becoming meekness,
to whom were the spoiIs held to be-
long, and to whom were they diligeDt-
ly awarded, under Republican adj
ministrations? To v~anquished Demo
Gratis, or to victorious Republicans?
How many Democrats did Republic

stern and mighty voice of the people,
it went out itself? That army of
bloated patriots now wallowing in
wealth, the proceeds of thrifty man.
ipulation of public moneys, honors,
patronage and authority, for twenty
four years-whose eyes stick out
with fatness-whose bursting for
tunes, from beginning to end, are

arrogant look honest poverty has
become disreputable are they Demo-
Gratis Or Republicans? Who are they

their gaudy and vulgar splendors
through gilded palaces, for the last
quarter of a century? Republicans
all Republicans. Under Grant, under

which these spoils have been wrought
into may be expressed in a thousand

FILTH AND EPIDEMICs.

Death has been very busy In the
little mining town of Plymouth 10
pennsylvania. Typhoid fever In an
endemic form has been preva'hne
there for some weeks. Fourteen
funerals took place in one day. Hun,
dreds are down with the disease, anu
a public relief committee has peen
organized. The livery stables are
unable to supply the demands 1of
carriages for the funerals. Plymouth
is located on the west bank cf 'he
susquehanna river. near Wilkes
barre. 1t has a population OF about
5000. and is the center Of large coal
operations. It is famous as the scene
of the great Avondale coal mine ex-
plosion of nearly twelve years ago.
Ordinarily, it is regarded as an ex-
ceptlonally healthy place. Its destn-
rate has been very small, usually
The cause of the disease remained q
mystery, despite the most strenuous
efforts of the physicians. Finally,
an analysis CT the water furnished
by the public water company was
made and the apparently pure liquid
up the secret. 1t carried death
dealing germs into half the house
holds of the city. An examination
along the banks of the stream led to
the discovery of the fact that last
January a man was taken sick with
typhoid fever, who resided on the
moun'ain top. about forty yards from
the stream which supplies the resi-
dents of the town with water. The
excreta of the sick man was thrown
into the yard. Here it remained
froz IN until broken up by the sum
shine. A warm rain then washed it
into the stream. Those along the
stream who drank the water were
taken sick, while those who drank
well water were not affected at all.
On one of the principal streets Of the
town, where the people Oh n side
drank well water, not one was taken
sick with typhoid, while those ON the
other side, who drank water from
the polluted stream, were nearly all
stricken with the typhoid. The ex-
perience of this little town carries a
lesson to every Incorporated city in
the country. Too much attention
cannot be given to the sources Of
water-supply or to the protection Of
the supply from its sourc to the
point OF delivery. The sanitary con-
dition of streets, alleys and back
yards have a closer relation to the
death-rate of a place than is popu.
larly supposed, and it is a matter for
regret that the authorities seem to
be as densely ignorant as the most
illiterate layman. Protect the wafer
supply and clean up the city.
