Hurope's Epidemic.

Our dispatches for several days have con-
tanned accounts Of an epidemic of influenza
in ST. Petersburg Paris and quite a num-
Der of other European cities are troubled
with the same disease. In St. Petersburg
the disease, while gradually abating, is be-
coming more malignant, though at no time
| has there been in that city any serious alarm
on account of it. There have been corr
paratively few fatal cases, and these have
been either of children or very old and
feeble persons
Ia Paris however, the appearance of the
disease has caused a great deal of alarm.
The alarm is not due to the presence Of the
| influenza, because it is not regarded as
dangerous, but to a belief in the probability
that it is the forerunner Of a greater evil
OF course the greater evil referred to is the
| cholera.
There is no good reason for thinki ng that
the presence of the influenza indicates the
coming of the cholera. 1t is true that the
cholera epidemic of 1S47-'4S il Europe was
preceded by an epidemic of the influenza,
but there have been epidemics of influenza
which were not followed by the cholera,
NAN oAoAo hIfO boSA GpahC4uACS
which were not preceded by the influenza.
The fact that there Is an epidemic of inhu-
enza, therefore, need not occasion any
apprehension of a cholera epidemic.
Unless the greatest vigilance is exercised,
however, by the quarantine authorities of
European ports, Europe may have vista
ton of cholera within the next year. 1t is
prevailing in the region of country east of
the eastern extremity of the Mediterranean.
1t was in the valley of the Euphrates last
summer, having made its way there from
India, where it is to be found all the time
In Mesopotamia, during last August and
September, there were over 5000 deaths
from it, and at the same time its victims in
Bagdad numbered about 800 a day. In
Persia the disease is doing fearful work at
the present time.
The quarantine officers OF this country,
and also of Europe, should take all pos
sible precautions against the introduction
of the terrible disease into their respective
| countries. They have heretofore checked
its advance at the ports, and they may
have chance to do it again. A very great
responsibility rests upon them. 1t is o be
hoped that they will prove themselves equal
TO it.

An Imitator of Mrs. Garfield.

Prof. j. W. Martin, of New Orleans,
failed to profit by the experience of Mrs
Garfield, of Kansas. 1t viii be remem-
bered that several months ago Mrs Can
field, while guest of Nashville. wrote to a
friend in Kansas private letter, in which
she said some very unkind things about the
southern people, and that she was mortified
few days afterward to see her letter in
print. Prof. Martin is having somewhat
similar experience. He was imported to
New Orleans from another state to take
charge of a high school for boys
in that city, and ne had hardly
got well into harness before he
wrote a letter to his friend, the editor of
the Lathrop Mo- Monitor, from which
the following is an extract: "a school
teacher in the north is one who fears
God and loves the little
children. In the south a school
teacher is a person who has we'll devel-
oped muscle and whose watchword is dis
patch. All honor to whom honor is due,
but the pupils here obey only when COM
PEELED by force or fear. You cannot appeal
to their sense of right and honor. for they
been and is now the state of affairs with
the native teacher and pupils, but a north
ern teacher can, in the course of time, after
he has proven his muscle and demonstrated
| that he is not a greeny develop in his
| pupils sense of dignity and honor"
Prof. Martin was not greatly surprised to
| see his letter in the Lathrop Monitor, for
/ he had given the editor permission to print
| any part of it, but he was very much sur
prised to see part of it copied in the New
Orleans press He thought it would never
| get beyond the town in which the Monitor
| is published. He at once wrote to the New
| Orleans States, and made very decided
| effort to crawfish out of his former state
ments. He said that he was not writing
for the New Orleans public, that he had no
intention Of rejecting upon the pupils or
the teachers in southern schools, and that
all he meant was that "more force was
used in the south in the schools than in the
north"
This was an.explanation that did not ex-
plain. Indeed, Prof Martins letter to the
editor of the Lathrop Monitor is so direct a
reflection upon southern teachers, pupils
| and parents tnat IL was mistake Tor him
to say anything about it, unless he wanted
to retract his former statements. and make
a frank admission that he was either i'm
PEELED by prejudice to say what he did, or
that he knew nothing about what he wrote
1t appears that he received a part of his edu-
cation in the south, and that he has taught
school in the south number of years. He
was not ignorant, therefore, upon the sub
iect, and it is to be assumed that he was
controlled by very improper motive. He
certainly acted in a foolish manner, but he
will probably be the only sufferer. His
statements have no doubt caused him to
lose whatever influence for good he may
have had among his pupils, aud such
being the case, his work in New Orleans,
where he has a large school, will soon come,
doubtless, to an end.

Gen. Alger doesn't propose to let the
President get ahead of him in Matching
pension schemes. He wants census enumer-
ators to collect the names of all old federal
soldiers who are living, and of representa-
tives of those who are dead, with regiment,
company, rank, residence, physical and
financial condition, etc. In a word, Gen.
Alger wants the government to search the
highways and the byways for people upon
whom to bestow pensions. As such reports
would be from government agents, the
government would hardly go back on them,
and as consequence many person who
misrepresented matters to the enumeraters
would get pension. This is a brilliant
scheme--for getting the good will of the
grand army. 1t is on par with President
Harrison's

The Hon. Ham" Disston is grieved be-
cause the Pennsylvania republicans are
divided into factions, and he wants them to
come together, Mr.. Disston might get
them to come together if he would use the
same kind of argument with them that he
proposed for getting Florida democrats to
vote the republican ticket. In the case of
the Florida democrats, they could not be
bought, and Mr.. Disston wisely concluded
not to make an attempt to carry out his
plan, but the Pennsylvania republicans
must believe in Doodle, or they wouldn't
recognize Mr.. Quay as their leader

George H. Thoebe acquired notoriety a
year or two ago by contesting Mr. Carlise's
seat in congress, and he has been before the
public one way and another ever since.
He is now seeking a place under the SER
geant-at-arms of the House, and as he is
backed by Messrs. Mckinley, Butterworth
and Lodge, among others, he will probably
get it. Thoebe is a member of the Knights
of Labor, and when that organization eff
fected some sort of a union with the farm
ers' alliance, republican congressman in-
dorsed his candidacy. They had given
hin the cold shoulder previously.

Simeon to the city council, they would not
have had the opportunity SO early if the
President, on the recommendation of lead
ing Indiana republicans, had not pardoned
him out of the penitentiary. Simeon GER
tainly ought to feel grateful to the Presi-
dent. Mr.. Cleveland refused to do what

HOUSTON'S FARMERS.

Their Present Condition the Best
since the War.
FORT VALLEY, Ga, Dec. 1.-THE farm
ers in this section are in better condition
than ever before since the war. Every crop
has been abundant this year, and many
farmers are already investing in mules, be-
cause they can use their corn crop to better
advantage in fitting young mules to till
another crop than TO sell it at the present
price.
Cotton picking has been finished, but not
near all the cotton has been marketed.
Many farmers also have hogs to sell. 1t
can safely be said that the farmers of no
other county in Georgia are in as good con-
dition, as whole, as are the farmers of

The Philadelphia Inquirer has discovered
that there is something pathetic in the
movement among southern negroes to elude
the census enumerators. This is probably
more in the nature of a prophecy than a
discovery, however. The pathetic part will
come in when the law deals with those
colored people who set it at defiance. But
is there a movement TO elude the census
enumerators? The Inquirer seems to be
the only newspaper that has information
with regard to it.

1t is next to impossible to state exactly
what Congressman Randall's physical con-

ton eorfespondents announce that he is
much better, and will occupy his seat in
the House at once, and the same day others
announce that he is worse and won't be in
the House for quite awhile, if ever again.
The probability is that Mr.. Randall's con-
