Distance No Projection.

Ex-M inister Foster does not think there
is much danger of cholera reaching this
country from Spain, or any part of Europe,
although It is evident that the scourge
will again be prevalent in many parts OF
The continent this summer. He argues
that the distance between Europe and
America is our protection. He says that
where a person has received the cOntagion
Of cholera the disease is sure to break out
within the next three days, and that the
fate of tue victim is nearly always set
tied within torty-eight hours, wnIle he
often dies within three hours. $50 in the
event Of any people leaving Europe who
have been inOculated with the germs Of
cholera." he says, 1.-THE disease Will be
fully developed before reaching this coun-
try" and hence that proper quarantine
regulations Will prevent any danger alter
arrival
The conclusion drawn by Mr.. Foster
may be correct, although it NAV be more
tnan doubted whether his premises are
correct. Practically, with our fast pas
senger steamers. Europe is much nearer
| America now than it has ever be ore been,
and yet 10 ~ not questioned that CHOLERA
has several times been Introduced into
this country from that continent. Por.
tons of the United states were swept by
the scourge even when it required month
or more to make the voyage across the
Atlantic.
| Probably the quarantine regulations
were very lax in those days IL is Ger.
tain that we ought now to rely for ex-
emptiou more on strict quarantine and
other sanitary precautions tnan on dis
lance.
Last year several vessels came TO the
| United States from infected ports with
clean bills Of health, and in one notable
case al Philadelphia no restric ions were
laid upon the landing OF the ship or the
/ discharge Of her cargo. IL behooves our
| government 10 lay down more rigid rules
| for the government OF our consus abroad
in reference TO this matter, and our guar.
antine officers cannot be too careful IN
dealing with vessels from infected or even
suspected ports, no matter what repre-
sensations may be made by those whose
interest II Is 70 have such vessels delay ed
AZ short time as possible.

prosnscts Of Methodist Reunion.

Prospects of Methodist Reunion
1t is evident that there is growing
tendency Dis reunion in the North
ern aud Southern branches of the Metho-
dist Church. 1t has been over forty years
since their separation, and it has been
over twenty years since slavery, which
vas The cause oil the separation, ceased
/ u exist.
The tendency towards reunion of late
ears has not been male manifest by
formal propositions from either of the
divisions OF this great and rapidly grow
ing church, but the general conferences
on each side OF the old line OF separation
are now on the most friendly terms, ana
all the recent conferences have been at
tended by fraternal delegates from the
formerly opposing sections.
The action OF the General Conference at
Richmond last week on The Missouri Me-
mortal in favor of reunion was rather
hopeful. The TACT was developed that
tOere was in the con ference a strong SER
timent in favor of the proposition. Be-
sides, it was shown that the memory even
of the old quarrel has now little to do WITH
keeping the branches of the church apart.
The main arguments used against re-
union relate to policy and economy, il
ne NJ urged that the deu0m nation has
grown so large that two organ cations are
necessary, and that the merging of the
two would be attended WITH d lficulties
That might injurously affect the general
good OF one or both.
Those who favor reunion see how these
difficulties can be gradually overcome.
Ihey argue that the missions, and tn
charitable and educational institutions
OF both branches of the church would be
strengthened rather than weakened b'
e1nion, that rivalry in localities where
Doth branches are nov represented would
be speedily blotted out, and that the great
growth OF Methodsm in the past would
be surpassed in the future.
No doubt this question will soon become
an absorbing one among the Methodists
o The United States, and It's progress to-
wards solution will he watched with
great interest by the whole country.

The Sorghum Craze.

The sorghum craze seems TO be on the
Increase in the Middle and Western
States. Since sugar has been made from
sorghum canes thousands OF farmers have
lost their heads on the subject. and have
visions OF an un United supply of sugar
and syrup, not only for home consump-
ton, but for sale, produced at a nominal
cost. 1t cannot he denied that sorghum
is entitled TO it's place among the pruduc-
lions OF every we'll conducted farm. in Sec
tons where sugar cane cannot be grown.
but an undue importance Is beng given
TO It that must soon lead to great disap-
pontment If not 10 very considerable
losses.
A passabls syrup can be made from
sorghum, but the conversion OF 1t INFO
su sar has not gone beyond the crude eX-
perimental stage. No sorghum sugar
mills nave vet been conducted with profit,
except those in receipt of subsidy either
from tue national government or some one
OF the States, ami sbere rs no good reason
to believe that such mills will be success
ul in oitaDly pro lusin sOrgaun al sar
on a commercial scale ia the near future.
The farmers OF the Mid lie and w Western
States seem TO he laboring under the mis-
apprehension that was universal in the
nth many years ago-that Is, that sor Z
hum is a eneap crop 10 produce. True, IL
does not cost much to prepare the land,
plant the seed and cultivate the crop. but
tie harvesting aud hauling 10 the mill is
a job of considerable magnitude. The
great objection to sorghum as a regular
crop, however, is that II speedily ex.
hausts the land. Three successive
crops Of sorghum have been known
TO reduce fertile fields TO
state bordering on sterility. The
farmer who thinks he is doing remarkably
well when ne sells fifteen tons OF sorghum
canes at 81 per tDn from an acre Of land,
will generally find out In two or three
years where tee leak is. He Will lind
