/ CHOLERA has taken jump from Italy
and Hungary to the Argentine Rcpub-
F JIG. and ia slowly but surely making its
/ way to this country. II may not reach
us before 1885, but 1t ia as sure Ogive this
country call as death and taxes are.
/ The injury ii viii! do Us will depend en-
| tirely upon the intelligent measures of
( prevention taken. We have nd ample
/ warning as people, as state, and as "a
city. II we heed the voice and prepare
! wisely,th scourge will affect us lightly.
| If We make no preparation and are
! caught in our filth, unCleanltnessr and
the unhealtheness Of present conditions,
our punishment will BE- meted out ac-
ourdingiy. Quarantine is good; santa
tiun is better. The ounce OF preventive
lays over the pound OF cure.

THE anarchists get their little respite.
which viii delay their execution until
the full bench of the supreme court has
passed upon the questions raised by
counsel upon which new trial is de
manded. There is practically nothing
new in the cases as now presented. The
same questions were argued before
Judge Gary in the motion for new
trial which he denied. 1t is claimed
that important legal points not hereto
fore presented will be laid before the
full bench, but there is no intirmatiOn
what they will be. The new hearing
can not TAKE place until after the Holt
days. IL is therefore quite certain
that the accused will take their Christ
mas without any birthstone sccompani-
ments.
CLEvELAND's Reinstatement of Benton,
the nephew Of his big Missouri uncle,
aud his refusal to do ditto by Stone, Of
Pennsylvania, has caused no little un-
favorable comment among the members
of his own gang. This, nos because Of
its manifest and palpable injustice, but
because it will diminish the chances Of
democratic success in 1888. Cleveland
would like nightly to trim his sails for
democratic victory next election but
docs not know how.
There is complaint at nearly every
shipping point in Texas of inadequate
shipping facilities for the live stock that
a ready for market. Dallas has orders
ahead for over 400 cars; Colorado City
has 10000 head that have been waiting
shipment for three weeks. The railroad
authorities give no encouragement of
better state Of things, and claim that the
cars have gone north and have not re
turned. shippers are indignant, and
some talk of Il drive to Kansas City is in
dulged in.
The owners of the old Comstock lode,
without one ounce more of the precious
metal in sight than there has been for
the past year, have forced shares up
from Sl.0O TO $50 90. The design, no
doubt, was TO bull some large bears and
then unload. The result is not known
beyond the fact that one bear has been
squeezed to the extent of turning up
minus quantity with 100000 debts to
his brokers unpaid.
The Adams COleridgr libel suit as it
progresses does not reflect any credit
uDOn The son-in-law, Adams The sym-
pathy is with the defendant, the chief
Justice, who is not responsible for the
scandal or its publicity. He would have
left the family skeleton in the closet
had he been permitted. 1t Ia a sad case
for such a man.
EvICTIONs are still the order on some
Irish estates. Lord Dillon has ordered
$40 evictiOns, but how the order will be
carried out does not yet appear. In
some instances eviction orders are
dead letter, the government refusing the
protection of police or the aid OF the
sherifls in enforcing the orders. In all
such cases eviction attempts are igno-
minious failures.
The cable reports of matters on the
continent are so conflicting that it is al
