VIENNA. July 2a-Great CONSERVATION has
throuehout Austria, By the reports received
deaths from cholera In Asia and tho
rapid spread Of the epidemic from MeeoS
and Aleppo to northern Syria and the south
coast Of Asia Minor. The public concern is
increased by the knowledee Of the total In
Turkish authorities. That the Turks are
most anxious to keep the disease out Of their
European territories cannot be doubted; but
the executive authorities to whom ali the
measures proposed by the International Sani-
tary Board are intrusted are so little TO- be re-
lied upon that neither the different cordons In
Arabia nor the numerous quarantine stations
that have been established are OF any avail In
chsckiDg the progress Of the epidemic.
The sanitary condition of Mecca Is simply
ter the Sacred City, and the Ignorance and
fsnaticism Of the Mohammedans prevents any
files. The disease continues to spread more
and more, and its advance can onlybs checked
sby the European powers quickly agreeing
upon vigorous concerted measures.

We can well understand the difficult

antipodal races;and weappreciate the
earnest sincerity of his motives"
and "the benevolent ardor of his en-
thBiasm" for the "betterment of
mankind" But the social division
of the Southern races is an unbridged
chasm and "unification" is hardly
yet q subject for speculation, much
less a problem for present solution.

evolve in the revolution of develop

lectual training" and the setting up
of presses directed by the wisdom
and experience OF an older civilian
ton" and fabricated by the "brain
of the newer schools of practical
science" may in time do much to re-
move 'long-seated prejudices," and
open the way to the establishments of
''mixed schools for the e'co-educa-

PreSiU Z II tinI Outrage.

President Harrison has appointed
the negro, Hill, postmaster of the
city of Vicksburg. The nomination
OF Hill was not confirmed by the
Senate, owing to the strong opposi-
tion of the Mississippi Senators. Har-
risen has taken advantage Of this
fact to fill the vacancy by the ap-
pointment of his original nominee,
one of the most Objectionable negro
politicians in the South, and man
peculiarly odious to Mississippi on
account OF his incendiary influence
with the members of his own race.
1t is impossible to think that Har~i-
son can expect a cordial welcome in
the South when he has exposed him
self todeserved censure in an apr oint-
ment so radically opposed to the fun
damental public sentiment of the
Southern people.

gene Field is one of the brightest

years since he was Bohemian of the
Bohemians. Then the very people
who are now ready to give him all
credit were as ready to say disagree

happened that he won. Had he lost
the toss, there would be none so poor
as to do him reverence. This is the
way of the world. There is no more
evidence now that Field hds brains

make money, but he has made the
money, and that is enough for the
great class of intellectual snobs
which must be depended upon to de-
eide the value of better men,"

Fs male ami Alliance Voting tn Han.


In the Kansas municipal elections,
Tuesday, the Alliance had tickets in
the field, fighting all the old parties.
la Kansas City, Kan. all the can
didates provided carriages to take
the women to the polls. About two
thirds of the female vote was cast
there. The greatest activity was
confined 20 few Alliance female
leaders.
The number of negresses that vo,
ted in Kansas City, Kansas, was no.
tleeable. They marched to the polls
with as much pride as their white
sisters, and exercised their right OF
suffrage with a satisfaction peculiar
to their race.
Dispatches from other Of the large
cities of Kansas indicate that the
vote of women compared to the reg
istration was proportionate- to the
male vote.
The returns from several cities
show that the alliance did not cut
much of a figure in the election ex-
cepting where it indorsed the Demo
cratic nominees. In those places
they were successful in electing the
Democratic nominees.
