CLEVELAND scientists" are greatly dis
turbed over the fact that the Cholera fog

different from the ordinary fog in that it is

scientists than she can easily accommodate
whose attention has been called to the
phenomenon do not hesitate to say that the
conditions favorable to the creation Of this
fog are favorable to the spread of cholera con-
tagion. There is good deal Of scientific"
nonsense in general circulation. as there al
ways has been, but the off-hand opinion Of
these learned gentlemen is not half so likely
to spread CONSERVATION as it once was. The
reading public Of the world know that the
Asiatic cholera is communicated only by con-
tact If the city Of Cleveland should come in
contact with the cholera the blue fog would
come mighty handy to diffuse it, or to make
it appear that it had something to do with its
spread. But if this country has good luck,
and the cholera is kept out Of its borders,
Cleveland will escape. and the blue fog will
be out of job.

FIVE able bodied men have been detailed
to keep up the boycott against Mrs. Gray, the
New York baker whose employees did not
care to join the union. She pays union wages
and works union hours, but her men do not
belong to the union, and for that reason her
business must be destroyed, if possible. She
had three men in her employ when the boycott
was ordered. An organization that can afford
to keep mere men idle than would be benefited
by its demands is either very wealthy or has

THE sad and demoralizing effect Of adopting
and cherishing free-trade doctrines is strik-
ingly exemplifed in the cases of the two
McLachlin brothers, members of leading
dry goods firm in Montreal. These gentle
men are wealthy and have been in high
standing in the community, one being prom
inent as church worker, and the other an
active member of the Y M. G. A. 1t has
been discovered, however, that in the inter
val of the discharge of their religious duties
they have been engaged in extensive Gus
toms frauds. Since the disclosure they have
fled to parts unknown, fearing criminal pro-
ceedings on the part of the government. Be-
fore going one brother made clean breast of
the affair, and attempted to justify their ac-
ton by arguing that with the present high
tariff on dry goods it was impossible to make
money, and that being free traders, they
thought II was no harm to defraud a govern
ment capable Of imposing a protective tariff.
AS the government seems inclined to take a
different view Of the matter, and as the COM
munity, generally, holds that even tariff re-
formers must conform to certain common
principles of honesty, the McLachlans have
deep water yet before them. Their cases
should serve as warning to rash young men
on this side Of the Canadian line who are en-
tering on the downward path of free trade.

any newspaper wishes to increase its subscrip-

who refuse to subscribe for it. If any merchant

claim boycott against all who do not patron

in every respect good man for the

the county with honor and credit.
