AS TO TIE CHOLERA VISITATION.

The appearance of cholera IN New
York city was not much of surprise to
any one anywhere who has read the
daily dispatches since the arrival IN the
harbor there of the first cholera infected
vessel, though everybody wished that
the malady might be kept out. Nor has
its appearance caused anything like a
stampede in that city or very serious
apprehensions anywhere else in the
country, The probability of its getting
foothold in this country has stimulated
the municipal authorities in all of the
cities and large towns of the country to
adopt prompt and vigorous precautionary
measures and the result has been to
place the sanitary condition OF the
country in the best situation. AS before
stated all this cannot but have bene-
fetal effects upon the health Of the
urban communities during the balance
of this season. The only thing to be
dreaded now is that the disease, having
gained Judgement, may lie dormant
during the winter and reappear in the
spring of next year. If this danger is
kept in view by the authorities and
proper efforts are continued TO prevent
this the disappearance of the dread
disease with the approach of winter
may be the end of it, otherwise we may
look for terrible results next summer.

ONE MANS LOVE.
A Fair Sample Of the Rest of the sternsr

It was Byron who wrote:
Mans love is OF mans life thing apart
'Tis won&n's whole existence"
Every body in the parlor car knew
they were on their honeymoon trip.
'And you do love me?" she asked
"a hundred times better than all the
rest of the world" he replied
And am more precious than gold?'
"a thousand times more precious than
diamonds"
'And you will never tire of being in
my presence
Not If I should live million years"
And. darling, you will never let any
thing call you from my side not for
moment If you have the power 70 pre-
vent it?''
The other passengers, who were not
unwilling listeners 20 the conversation,
were wondering where the ''trillion"
was coming in when the bridegroom
whispered something in the brides ear
and started towards the forward cad of
the car.
II think you are real mean,' Pouted
the bride

FREE RAGS AND CHOLERA.

In his speech in the house on the
C. Burrows drew the following picture
of the source of the supply the Demo
Gratis were il viting to our shores. This
speech was delivered before the out
break of the cholera epidemic, but is of
added interest in view OF the advances
made by that dread disease. Said Mr..
Burrows:
But having presented measure
which, if enacted into law, would result
in destroying sheep husbandry in the
United States, with the consequent an
nuaI loss to the worlds supply of wool of
300, 900, 900 pounds, the question natur
ally arises, wherewithal then shall we be
clothed? How considerate of the major
ity of the committee to anticipate this
inquiry and promptly allay all appre-
hension by the assuring and comforting
answer-rags, muIgo and shoddy. Yes,
rags are to be free. The chiffonnier with
stick and nail and bag, securing the gut
tiers of foreign cities for wooden rags, or
gathering the cast-off clothing and
blankets which have wrapped putrid
carcasses in the lazar and pest houses of
Europe and Asia, will apply his vocation
with increased zeal and take fresh cour-
age at the prospect Of this new market
for free raw material. The present duty
of 10 cents pound practically excludes
foreign rags from our market while free
trade England adds annually 10 her do
mesic supply 20 600, 900 pounds of for
eign rags which she converts into shod-
CIV for the clothing of her people
How the cholera was introduced into
into New York City is still mystery to
the health officers, though it was pretty
broadly limited, in the dispatches of a
day or two ago, that the disease found
its way through the very channel Mr..
Burrows so graphically portrayed. No
body will deny that rags is the most pro-
life source or vehicle for transmitting
contagious and infectious Diseases, and
as Mr. Burrows stated that is one of the
benefits" the country may expect to re-
suit from free trade if it should prevail.

DON'T GET FRIGHTENED,
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
cat least so per cent Of the people
who die when attacked by cholera die
of fright" said an English army officer
the other night at an uptown hotel.
The officer is a man of middle age, who
has passed over twenty years of his life
in Burmah and India. He has seen gen.
uine Asia:ic cholera in its deadliest
forms, and, like most of the English
men there, 'got used to it" By way of
illustration of his remark, he told the
following story:
"While in Burmah fellow officer, an
old and very intimate friend Of mine,
was attacked with the disease. | was
away at the time he was taken sick, but
returned soon enough to find that he
had been given up by the ply
sicians and all of his friends
and was looked upon as practically
dead, Every one had stopped coming to
see him and be was lying in his room
alone. | couldn't bring myself to be-
lieve that the man who had been
through so many rough experiences
with me was going 10 lie down and die
in that manner and l determined 10
make an attempt to brace him up.
Il Went into his room and walked
over to the bed, and said, Hello, old
boy. What's the matter with You. He
turned over anu said: I'm done for,
this time; the cholera's got me- Non
sense l said. Cholera. You've no
more cholera tEan l have; little attack Of
dys-ntery.'
"Then I looked at the table by his bed
and saw half glass OF milk that he had
been drinking standing there. l took
the milk up aud said: I'm awfully hot.
old fellow: you wont mind my
drinking your milk, will you:
He turned over and said: For Code
sake. don't drink that; I've been drink
ing it: you'd get the cholera. / laughed
and said: Nonsense; tell you you've
no more cholera than | have Then /
drank the milk right in front OK him.
After this | sat down aud talked cheer
fully with him for quite while and left
him feeling much better and more hope
full.

A CAMPAIGN OF PREJUDICE.

Addle Stevenson has as little regard
for tie intelligence of his North Caro-
lima friends as he has for truth and the
facts of history. His Asheviiie haraugue
Thursday was made up mainly of a dis
cussion O. of Missouri affairs during the
reconstruction period in the seeded
states of the south. He tried to picture
Missouri as one of the greatest sufferers
from the operations of reconstruction
processes, which was purely imaginary
with the speaker. Missouri never seced-
ed from the Union, and consequently
did not require to be reconstructed, as
the seeded states did. Missouri occu-
pied exactly the same attitude that Ken
lucky and Maryland did. Ali three
sympathized largely with the south,
but neither severed its connection with
the Union or withdrew its representa-
tives from congress. Being border states
they were over-run by the armies OF both
sides, and suffered IN consequence, but
that was an unavoidable sequence Of
their geographical situation. And, be-
sides, what has North Carolina OF today
TO do with the condition of Missouri in
1909? And that sort of demagogy
some people call craftsmanship!

of interest paid to them by Kansas Dor
rowers is the direct result of the foolish
and wicked talk of reputation; the wild
eyed speeches Of Elder, Doster, PETER.
Jerry Simpson, John Davis, Congress
man Baker, and fellows like them, who
did the people of Kansas injury in dol
lars and cents it will require years OF
hard work to overcome.
The estimate put upon Kansas securi-
ties by eastern money loaners is based
upon the actual value Of tie land esti-
mated by its productions, and then the
only thing they fear is the possibility OF
legislation, if the Peoples party should
get full control of the state, that would
vitiatethe securities by excessive taxation
or other schemes designed to initiate
against alien interests.

Democrats should not too hastily con-
Guide from the Larned lynching that Re-

Mississippi or Louisiana. They should
remember that according to their own
assertions Kansas Is no longer Republican.
Kansas City journal.
To use a legal phrase. the foregoing is
but plea in avoidance, to which we
demur. Kansas Is Republican state,
and while the Larned incident is depre-
Gated by all, yet there would be little
criticism of such occurrences in Missis-
sippi by Kansas Republicans if the per-
petrators of such alleged offences down
there, like the Larned miscreant, were
fully identified and proof OF their guilt
established, and they not strung up on
mere suspicion.

J The WhOIe trnih.

Major J. X. Hudson has recently made
pretty thorough tour of the western
part of the state, and while in Atchison
the first of the week spoke pretty freely
of the condition of affairs in that part of
the state. He says there is absolutely
no excuse, and never has been any, for
the senseless calamity howls. Out in
Sherman county, which has population
of 5000 people, the wheat crop this year
will amount to million bushels. Thomas
county, which adioins it on the west,
also has big wheat record. In both
these counties the demand for and this
fall has never been equaled. Mr.. Hud
son was surprised at the corn crop 200
miles west of Atchison.

RESg0RE KANSAS.

4 Boston man who ia interested in
Kansas securities in circular letter
dated September /, says:

went begging at $500 per acre; now it is
worth strong $4,000 without improve
ment. In Kansas, that much-talked-
about state, good farmers, though having
had combination of unfortunate hap
penings, are today getting in as good
condition as the farmers of any section
of the country.
The Kansas farmers in 1887 and 1888
were troubled with dry weather, short
crops. and low prices for farm products
in every part of the country. Every
eastern investor called his money from
the state. Can any place stand that :?
Ii every man owing s. mortgage IN Mas
sachussetS was called to pay up at
once. what would be the result: No
new money could be borrowed: nothing
could be realized on real estate: de-
faults must follow. Would any one say
otherwise? This is parallel case with
that which made the good farmers IN
Kansas and other parts of the west de-
inQuentS. Then sprang up the Farmers
Alliance. to further mar the credit OF

leading western states need lose penny.

One OF the comrletest proofs, IL proof
were required, of the utter falsitv of the
declaration of the calamityltes that this
country is on the verge of material ruin
Is the record of the tax sales made the
tifst week in this month and now On tils
In the court houses of the various
counties. (The record for Scdgwick
county we take, is fair sample for the
balance of the state.) The records show
that no farm property was sold for taxes
except in two or three instances where
parties had secured loans amounting TO
more than the land is worth and had
abandoned ii. The great bulk of the sales
which required but three days IN this
county TO dispose OF. consisted of lots in
outlying city additions that have only
nominal value. These facts show that real
property is considered valuable by its
possessors not only, bat that money is
not rs scarce nor the people as hard
pressed as they have been represented

Bad Policy and Bad Precedent.

From the Kansas City Journal
In the case Of the Lsrned culprir there
was no doubt that the gully person was
in custody, and there was no possibility
that he would receive his desserts at the
hands of the court Sill it would have
been better if the lynching had not ben
done; better for the states reputation
and better for the moral tone Of the
Larned community. Ii the laws are not
severe enough make them stronger, but
do not disregard or override them. 1t Is
