The national conference of the State
Boards Of Health just held at Cincinnati Jap
pointed committee to confer with the quar-
antine authorities in the seaboard cities, setA-
tive to preventive measures against the in
PRODUCTION of cholera. The opinion was al
most unanimous among the delegates to the
conference that there, was reason to fear an
outbreak of the diseased this year, and that
the present quarantine arrangements are very
inefficient. There are some cholera nests in
this city that it might be well to break up
before the disease reaches our shores.

to-day, it must be recognized that Demo
cratic President had right to choose q Dem
ocratic Chief-justice, and it would be hard to
find an eminent Democrat who would not
need to have veil drawn over his war record"
This is reported to be from one who is friend
ly to Mr. Fuller's confirmation. L. it no. a
terrible arraignment, if truef Not single smi-
nent Democrat over whose record during the
war veil would not need to be drawn. The
Journal does not believe this to be true.
There are eminent Democrats whose records
during the war are honorable, or, at least,
not dishonorable; but they are not the sort Of
Democrats in favor with the present admin
istration. It is the unreconstructed rebels,
the ''copperheads," and the friends Of elec-
ton thieves and forgers who sit down at the
table to the feast of good things nowadays.

REvrvALIsT SAM JONES should never vista
town but once. After single visit he may
retain remnant of the respect Of decent
people, but second series Of meetings destroys
it all. As matter of fact he il seldom in
vited more than once, but occasionally he is
asked to return. ST. Louis has just had him
for the second time, and one indignant. pastor
says: II have gone to see Jones for the last
time cannot stand his irreverence and
vulgarity. If any man should come into my
Office and speak of any minister, no matter of
what church, as Jones did yesterday, I'd feel
like throwing him into the street. l am
firmly convinced that if any other preacher
than Sam Jones should use such language in
st. Louis he would be kicked out of town.
What has all our work for promoting rever-
ence done if Jones can come here and pull it
down? What of our ideas of sacredness, if be
can sweep them all aside with language unfit
for loaferf" Another preacher says: Bob
Ingersoll has never heaped upon the Christian
religion, upon the sacred calling of sthe min
istry such abuse, such vulgarity, as has Sam
Jones. Ingersoll is never vulgar. Sam lis
always vulgar" The truth is Jones himself
is less to blame for this offense to public taste
than those who invited him to hold services.
He is vulgar and ignorant and nothing bet
ter can be expected from him.. A ''revivalist"
of this class may be successful with his own
kind, but the preachers and deacons who ex-
pect him to win intelligent people are slow to
learn that he cannot do so.
