THERE seems to be little doubt
but what there will be an epidemic
of cholera in Europe before many
months, and probably some por-
tons of the United States will also
receive a visit from the dread
scourge. 1t is following in the wake
of la grippe in some parts of Rus
STA, and advices from Persia report
that several cities in that country
are ravaged by an intestinal disease
of excessive fatality. Three thous-
and deaths are reported in Kharas-
san. The exact nature of the dis
ease is unknown, but it is extreme
ly like the Asiatic cholera.

EDISON the inventor, is engaged
taking photographs by wire. This
invention, it is said, is destined to
rival, the telephone and phono-
graph. 1t is worked very much in
the same way as the telephone.
Instead of transmitting sound, how
ever, in some unaccountable way
which the inventor refuses to tell, it
transmits light by means of which
photographs can be taken of per-
sons when sitting at remote dis
tances. Edison has succeeded in
getting very good impressions, but
has not perfected the invention.
He has also just invented ma
chine which separates iron from
the ore. 1t is one of the simplest
and at the same time the most in
genious device for saving labor
that has been invented. The ma
chine consists of a crib, surmounted
by a hopper. By system of mag.
nets the iron is separated from the
ore while falling from the hopper
to the bottom ofthe crib. The mag.
nets, of course, are arranged under
the hopper, but not directly under it.
They are placed on the side of the
crib 80 that as the crushed ore fill
tiers through the hopper the tailings
fall directly to the bottom without
being diverted from their course
while the iron, on the other hand, il
attracted to one side by the mag.
nets and is caught in pan.

THE health officials of the city
of Washington are appalled, at the
number of deaths that have oc-
Cured in that city and vicinity
during the last few weeks. The
total number of deaths last week
reached 100, which is equal to $500
for the year, and would indicate a
death rate Of 3O.42 per 1000 per
annum of population. AS there is
a decrease in the number of cases
of influenza reported, the authori-
ties hope there will be a decrease
of deaths reported this week, as a
large proportion of the deaths for
the last few weeks have been from
pneumonia resulting from influenza.

FATHER DAMIEN'S SUCCESSOR.
A dispatch dated New York, Jan.
80, gives the following account Of
Sister Rose Gertrude, whose name
in the world is Amy Fowler, and
who is going to the Island of Molo-
kai, in the South Pacific, to nurse
the lepers. She was born about
thirty-fve years ago in Bath, Eng
land, where she was reared and ed
ucated. Her parents were wealthy,
but Miss Fowler decided to take
the veil, and joined the order of St.
Dominic. After several years of
usefulness to her fellow-beings,
news came from across the ocean
that Father Damien was dead. His
devotion to the lepers of Molokai
was the sole topic of conversation
among the women who labored daily
under Sister Gertrude's leadership.
She finally decided to master all of
Pasteur's ideas concerning leprosy,
and then 60 to the Island of Molo-
kai and devote the rest of her life
to the lepers. With remarkable
courage she looks forward to her
work OH the disease-stricken island
with more than pleasure. She
knows that she cannot live more
than ten years. Miss Fowler was
seen in her state-room on the Both
MIA this morning. She is q neat
little woman, about thirty-fye years
old. She is about five feet, two in
ches in height, and in build very
slim. She was dressed entirely in
black, but not in nuns clothing.

conclusion. When they have once
reached that point, they cannot fail to
observe that more just reibukes are in

LEAVE THE BALLOT ALONE.

The causes contributing to the sweep
ing democratic victory OF Tuesday are
as widely varied as tho localities in
which the victory was won. In Mon
tana and in other states there were is
sues OF peculiar local Importance that
largely affected the results. On the
other hand there were other reasons.
Beyond the lines of personal strife there
is wider and deeper meaning to this
great expression of the people. The
matter of choice between men is moth
ing to the choice between principles and
the emphasis of the popular voice from
Massachusetts to Montana is evidence
Of mighty change Of opinion. To the
people Of Montana the ballot was To-
cal issue, but to the country at large it
was Of national Importance. The atti-
tude assumed by the present congress
and the Harrison administration to the
expression Of popular will has received
sweeping condemnation. Not only
have the people Of Montana risen to de-
clare against the ballot-box thieves of
our own state, but the people of the
country have likewise expressed their
views on the policy as outlined by
the republican leaders. With few ex-
ceptions those congressman who worked
hardest for the force bill have been re.
tired. Congressman Lodge, the most
conspicuous exception, was all but de-
feated. Mckinley and Joe Cannon viii
remain at home, and scores Of lesser
lights will do likewise. All Of THU
means that their constituents have NJ
use for men who forget common hon
esty in their haste to lntrench the re-
publican party in power. Unseating fairl,
democratic congressman was a pleasant
pastime last winter, but it failed of itt
object. Finally the force bill was de
vised to cllnch republican majority
This has been placed before the people
J, for approval and the result is now very
we'll known. In short, the most striking
feature of the congressional campaign in
a national sense is the warning to the
republican party to leave the ballot
alone.

FISHY

"Whom the gods wish to destroy, they
first drive mad" IL there be any truth
in the ancient adage-and it's continued
existence would seem to afford proof Of
surviving fitness -the republican party
must now be passing through the stage
OF incipient mania, that Immediately
precedes approaching dissolution. The
voters of this country have administered
to that party the most crushing rebuke
in our history. 1t would seem to be the
part and the duty Of wise men to make
some calm and rational endeavor. to
formulate reason or reasons for this
expression Of nations disapproyal.
But, with ostrich-like sagacity, the
party sticks it's head in the sand, and
refuses to discuss the gale Of popular
condemnation that is wrecking every
feather Of its vaunted plumage. It is
merely the peoples usual caprice, they
assert. A patient animal, that people.
But you cannot trust it always. It is
apt to make awkward breaks now and
then, and the trouble is you can't always
tell when they are forthcoming. We
have ridden it, and spurred it, and
goaded it for years. and never kick
But it will lash out sometimes; just
pure cussedness, you know. And that
is what it's doing now. But it's poor
fool of beast anyhow. just give it a
little while to enable it to forget it's sore
sides and its harsh treatment, and we
can bride it fast enough. That is the
value the party sets upon the people and
its verdict. One editorial scribe, with
characteristic elephantine ponderosity
of wit, assures the majority Of the vot-
ers of this state that he ranks them as
geese, and rears his head aloft as he re-
fleets that he and few more wise men
are still left in the state to save it from
the doom Of Sodom and Gomorrak.
But the occasional playfulness of the
animal is apt to arouse feeling Of pro-
found irritation IN the republican party.
On such occasions, it is apt to use I'M
parliamentary language of the people,
where it is safe not to be repeated. Woe
to the unfortunate victim that comes
across its pathway at such a time! It
has got victim now. Unfortunate
