BESIDES the influenza Europe is threat
ened with an epidemic which has probably
never before invaded its territory. Ithas its
cradle in the peninsula Of the Ganges, and
is called the red fever OF India. 1t is az
eruptiye maladay, disclosing some OF The
characters of measles and scarlatina. There
are in reality two erupti0ns--One initial
and the other final The attack is sudden.
with weakness, lassitude, pain in the head
and affected eyes, and then the first erup-
ton appears in the form Of red blOtches, as
IN scarlatina. The final eruption becomes
apparent from the fourth 10 the sixth day,
and resembles that Of measles, affecting the
feet. hands and limbs, and disappearing in
its turn after a duration Of twenty-iour
hours. COnyalescence is rather slow. The
disease has hitherto been confined chiefly TO
Asia. but it has recently appeared al Con-
etantinople and at Preyesa. lt Is extremely
contagious, but the lateness Of the season
NAV prevent its general spread through
Europe.
THE following is from the Harleian Man
uscript, No. 1852, in the British Museum,
London:
III Christmas day, the truth TO say,

Ihere shall he a hard winter and strong,

Whatever child that day born "a,

And wise and crafty aiaO Of deed,
And ind many In clothes and bread"
THE Toronto Empire, the government or
Gan. says: "The reports which have been
scattered broadcast throughout the United
states TO the effect that the government in
tends not 10 renew the mOdus Yiyendi next
year are entirely unwarranted. by the
treaty Of Washington act, passed 10y the
Dominion parliament last year, the modus
yivendi expires on the 18th OfFebruary next,
and in order 10 renew il further legislation
will be required. Whether il will be re-

JUST as Paris, careless about her sewer
age after the great exposition, is suffering
the penalty for such sights to the goddess
of health in a fearful increase Of her death
rate and the pros;Fatlon OF thousands OIL her
citizens, so may American cities pass
through a similar fearful experience. The
grip found in the gay French capital as con-
Genial a field of operation as it found IN
Russia. Let II not be said that in Rich

The Republican way to meet this SUI
premely delicate and intensely compli-
Gated problem is, the passage Of con
gressional law providing that the ne
gro shall and must vote-at federal
elections, and in the way most often
sive to the whites. "We must have
that vote" say the partyleaders, land
If we cannot have it, we want a plenti-
full crop of Southern outrages on the
negro as basis for firing the Northern
heart"
But a law to secure that vote for the
Republican party in the way proposed
would certainly require federal troops
to enforce it.: and that would bring the
whole South into turmoil and derange
and PROSTATE industry in that part of
the Union, where in the past ten years
Northern men have invested millions
on millions in profitable enterprises.
viii the North patiently endure such
losses? Will it be popular at the
North? Can the Republican party ex-
pect to gain strength by bringing back
the horrors of the era Of reconstruc-
ton in the South? AS a prominent
Republicansenator is reported to have
said of the proposed election law: Il
doubt its expediency. Idon't like it.

missioners with power to consider the
boundaries Of the district, etc, and
whether they shall be described In
the petition for organization, thecourt
holds that the point sought to be made,
viz: that the judges cannot legally
serve as commissioners Is not well
taken, as In such case the judges would
not be acting In an executive position IN
variance with the constitution.
In the Wilson case the question OF
the constitutionality Of that portion OF
the act which provides for the raising
Of the money for doing the work was
called into question. Wilson ct al.
claimed that the constitution express
ly states that all drainage work must
be paid for by special assessment upon
the adjoining property owners and
that the raising of the money by gen.
eral taxation was unconstitutional.
The court disposed of this question in
an elaborate opinion, the grist Of which
is that as the work TO be accomplished
under the drainage act will be bene-
tit to the entire drainage district crea-
ted, therefore the means OF raising
the money to defray the expense Is
constitutional. If for only portion
of the district special assessment would,
Of course, be the only means OF raising
the fund which could be urged by law.
Judge Magruder wrote the dissent
ing opinion, in direct opposition to all
of the findings of the remainder of the

finds as above, it must remain the law

THE SEWAGE BILL.
1t Is Declared Constitutional by the Sn-

1t Is Declared Constitutional by the su-
preme Court.
Twenty-three opinions were filed in
the supreme court Thursday, but OF
tawa is only directly interested in two
of them, the case of the People eX rel.
States Attorney LOngnecker Y. hurry
J. Nelson, and the case Of Wilson v.
the Drainage Trustees. These cases
were brought to fully test the validity
of the Chicago drainage bill, the first
to test its validity as to its purposes
and the second to test its validity as
to the means of raising funds to carry
on the work.
The first question arising in the
Nelson case was that the act of the
legislature was unconstitutional be-
cause it embraced under one title va
riety of subjects. The court holds
that though the act embraces the
opening of a great ditch, the removal
of river distractions, and of, of neces-
Sity, the creating of navigable stream,
yet these are but necessary part OF
the scheme which has for its object
the drainage of Chicago, and that the
act in this PARTICULARS constitutional.
Also that the leasing and controlling
of dock property is but source of rev.
enue and only means of assisting in
payment of the cost of the work. Up
on the question raised as to cumula-
tive voting the court holds that no
such question necessarily arises upon
this point. The right is accorded to
each voter to vote for as many candi-
dates as there trustees or any five Of
them. As to that portion Of the act
