CHOLERA In CHINA AND JAPAN.

4 passenger who arrived ut San
Francisco September Il, in the S.
S. Rio de Janeiro, from China and
Japan, gave the following state
ment to reporter of the Alta:
"At present China is thrown into
mourning by the terrible cholera
epidemic, which ragged fiercely in
our vicinity. The natives are
dying by hundreds, perhaps by
thousands. Day after day, all day
long, you see the dreary funeral
professions passing the windows.
could not attempt to give you
any statistics of the mortality,
which is something frightful. The
white residents have suffered very
little from the epidemic. They take
care of themselves and keep their
houses clean and well ventilated.
Cholera never frightens us at all.
That it makes such terrible ravages
among the Chinese is due to their
mode of living. Their quarters are
close and filthy, and their food
greasy and unwholesome. The
authorities at the open ports are
taking every precaution against the
spread of the affliction. Every ves-
sci is quarantined and thoroughly
fumigated, as are also the passen-
gers and their effects. This is done
at every port, and can tell you it
proved very tedious to us. as We
had to stop several times on the
way from Shanghai to Hongkong.
The cholera is also prevalent
in Japan, and there also the quar-
antine is very rigorous. Our
steamer was stopped at the quar-.
antine station, several miles from
Yokohama, and thoroughly fumi-
gated. The passengers were placed
in little room and obliged to strip
off every stitch of clothing. The
clothing was passed out in little
baskets and returned in a short
time neatly folded and quite hot
from the process through which 1t
had gone"

TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT.

From certain proceedings at Spokane
Falls during the past two or three weeks it
would appear that few Republicans at
that place imagine themselves the Repub-
lican party of the whole state of Washing
ten. The friends of Mr.. Wilson, on the
aone hand. and the friends of Mr.. Turner
on the other, have apparently forgotten
that the Office of member Of congress from
the state of Washington is something
more than local perquisite, and that ques-
tons OF fitness or unfitness for it must be
determined by body somewhat more inn
portant than ward club; and further,
that the considerations which are likely to
have weight must have q broader basis
than political pique or personal ambition.
Mr.. Turner at the invitation OF a consid.
cradle number OF gentlemen who for one
reason or another do not like Mr.. Wilson,
Is making what is locally called a fight
for Mr.. Wilson's place, and judging from
the clamor it seems to be the prevailing
idea in the city of the falls that the matter
is to be settled by the outcome of this local
con roversy. From the outside it looks
very much as If Spokane Falls were more
likely to lose the congressman altogether
than to dictate who he shall be.
Those who are opposing Mr.. Wilson
have not been wise in their choice of can
didate. They have selected man profess
sionally an office-holder-a man who may
always be found in one of two situations,
namely, either holding Office or seeking
Office. He came to this state an Office
holder only few years ago, and since his
retirement from office has constantly been
on the lookout for a new job. He wanted
to be delegate to congress before the state
was admitted into the Union. I'M
mediately after that he wanted
to be representative in con-
gress. Having failed in that he was
still not discouraged aad wanted to be one
of the supreme judges of the state. Fail
ing in this ambition he then became a can
didate for the United States Senate. Again
he failed and now he hobs up serenely
again as candidate for con-
gress. He seems in short to be
a perpetual candidate for something. So
far as we can learn there has been but one
official position in sight for which he has
not been candidate. This position is
that Of tide land commissioner. to which
the governor appointed him and which he
declined. Ciamoring always for public
employment, he has declined the one
place in which he might have done the
state useful service.
So far as We are able to Judge there is no
general dissatisfaction in the state with
Dir. Wilson. He has been industrious and
attentive To his duties. and il his opponents
expect to defeat him they must have some
better reason than their own dissaiisfsc-
ton over the appointment of postmaster
at Spokane Falls.

to earn . livelihood. resulting in decisions
diametricalIy opposite.
It will be remembered that an American
case was referred to in these columns
short time ago. wherein man In order TO
obtain employment had been required to
agree that after quitting it he would not
for period Of three years engage in the
same employment in that or any other
state. But within the interdicted period he
did quit the employment. remove into
another district, and engage In the same
business. Suit was brought to enforce the
contract, and the court held that 1t was
void because 1t was contrary TO public
policy and an unwarranfable interference
with personal liberty and with mans
right and duty to earn livelihood.
And now comes the report of q case just
decided IN Leek. England. William Cold
straw. under some compulsion, contracted
in 1885 to work for an underlined period at
q rate Of wages which was not fixed, in the
dye works of joshua Wardle & Co. By
one clause OF the contract IL was agreed
that either party must give three months
notice OF termination OF the agreement,
and thereafter Goldstraw should not carry
on the business on his own account nor in
the employ OF another at Leek or within
twenty miles therefrom, nor sell or COM
municate any knowledge acquired while in
the employ Of the Wardles.
GoIdstraw worked four years under this
contract. receiving the munihcent conf
pensation OF rs Is per week, and this year,
to the three months notice, he left their
employ and went to work for another firm
in Leek For this he was restrained by the
Wardles as though he had been bound to
them in perpetual slavery. On the stand
the defendant swore that when he
had signed the contract he had not
understood that it bound him further
than that he should not disclose
their secrets, which restriction he had
faithfully observed, and there was no at
tempt on their part to prove that he had
disclosed any. And 1t was pleaded in his
behalf that restriction so perpetual was
too onerous to stand the test of equity.
Rut the court held the contract to be bind
ing. and Goldstraw Is sternly forbidden by
the British government from engaging in
the only business he understands within a
distance of twenty miles from his home.
The alternative is forced upon this pre-
sumably patriotic Englishman of going
abroad, or to the workhouse, or of starving.
1t would be hard to find two cases more
exactly identical. The difference between
tie decisions is interesting. There is les

The method adopted by commander of an

goes carefully out TO the open sea: outside Of

over the Atlantic track, he turns his ships
head westward, or thereabouts. rings q bell
