disease are so marked that there would be
no excuse for an error Of diagnosis. and. in
deed, it has been the experience of most IN
fected ships that the character OF the
trouble is only too evident from the fatality
with which it is attended.
We learn from the Philadelphia Ledger
that
Cholera, according to all recent author-
ties is the result of the taking into the
stomach of certain small vegetable forms
known as the comma bacillus OF Koch.
These. apparently must be swallowed.
They are harmless if inspired, end even

or the water. every article of food or drink
serves az q indus for the growth OF these
microscopic germs. On the other hand, II
their growth Is rapid. their death is no less

with germs will be free from them again.

how after lying dormant all winter, they

less hesitation about the proper means Of
preventing its spread, as means Of destroy

illness will, it is said, prevent It's spread
from one patient 10 another. but the great
trouble is that after the germs get inside the
system they cannot be safely destroyed
and. therefore. mortality from them is still
very high.
Our Philadelphia contemporary is OF the
opinion that with proper quarantine regula-

tons, in the cities exposed to attack, there

OUR DANvILLE CORRESPONDENTS
AGAIN.

OUR DANVILLE CORRESPONDENTS,
AGAIN.
It is always a pleasure to discuss impor-
tant public questions with adversaries as
courteous and sincere as our Danyille cor
respondent, W. S. H., and we add this
morning word to what we said Yesterday
in reply to his letter
W. 5. IL must remember that if ii were
possible for a manufacturer of shoe blacking
to buy up all the elements from which shoe
backing is made and that manufacturer did
actually buy them up he would have as
much right to protection Of his property in
those elements Of shoe blacking as to pro-
lection Of his property in a hogshead Of
tobacco. But since it is obviously impossi-
BILE for any man or ret of men to bny up all
the elements which go to make up shoe
blacking, it is obvious the field for manu-
featuring shoe blacking must always remain
open to the world; and that being So com
petitors against tho manufacturer Of shoe
backing must always arise when the price
of shoe blacking is so high as to hold out
promise of large profits.
W. S. II. also has distinctly in his mind
that whilst it may be all right when one
man gets monopoly of manufacturing and
selling shoe backing by his own energy and
thrift. some injury necessarily accrues TO
society when a number of men confederate
together 10 do the same thing But, we
submit, with entire respect that an act
which is innocent when performed by one
man can never become noxious merely be-
cause it ia performed by two or more acting
together in concert If such could be the
case then mercantile partnerships would
come TO an end. What is called trust" or a
combination" if the end be lawful and the
means employed be lawful, is nothing but
mercantile partnership on a large scale.
There is no element of harm to society in
such combinations. because as soon as 1t
puts the price of the article dealt in to
point where profits are large, competing
trusts" and combinations" will inevitably
spring up against IT,

The official announcement from Eavre,
Antwerp and Hamburg that cholera has
gained foothold there excites just appre-
hension lest 1t should cross the ocean to this
country, as all three of these cities are the
fsyorte ports from which European emf
grants sail for the United States. Remem-
boring what has been suffered in the past,
and how dreadful a scourge this terrible
disease Is. 1t ia not strange that the gravest
fears are expressed about another visitation
Of it TO US from Europe.
The most conservative authorities think.
however, that these fears. while natural.
can with care be rendered groundless. and
that without gross carelessness will DO safe.

WHILE the danger Of the importation Of
Asatic cholera is not great at this late sea-
son of the year the United States authori-
ties cannot be too wary in guarding against
it. A contemporary expresses the opinion
that the quarantine against all the infected
ports should amount to a blockade il neces-
sary. II says very wisely that we are not
suffering for lack of Russian or other
foreign immigrants at present, and We GER
tainly do not want them now or hereafter
il we must admit cholera along with them.

that there is great deal of difference be-
tween party openly raising money for its
own legitimate expenses and doing so for
the purpose of assisting another party to
masquerade under a false name. The Third

lican. and it is very strange that the latter

THE Philadelphia Record recalls an inter
esting piece of history when it says that
from 1916 to 1860, under the operation of a
tariff laid for revenue. theincreass Of domes-
tic exports was 30 per cent. The increase
in imports was 1877 per cent. There has
been no other fourteen years in the history
Of the country when its trade showed such
astonishing advancement In the last four
teen years for example. the increase in ex-
ports has been 81 per cent. and imports p
per cent. As Mr.. Blaine testifes in his
political history the prosperity of the coun-
try after the adoption Of the tariff Of 1916
was unexampled.

THE SIN AND THE WORLD

Our readers will recollect that we left this
controversy yesterday at the point where
the World had printed a certificate from the
manager from each of the four cable COM
panies stating that neither the Bismarck nor
the Schiapparelli interview had been cabled
to the World on August Sth. The World
absolutely ignored everything else that the
Sun had charged, and did not say one word
to disprove the Suns allegation that both
interviews we're spurious. The Sun
yesterday repeated its statements that
the World cabled the interviews TO Lon
don on August Sth and had them
cabled back on that dag with this exp,ana-
ton: The Sun comedies that il is true the
World did nothing in its own name. but 1t
did the job through the Dalziel News
Agency, which has an Office in the Worlds
building, and it prints what it claims to be
fac SMILES of the cables sent by the Dalziel
Agency on August Sth for the World. which
entirely sustains all that the Sun has
charged. II. therefore. :he Suns fac
SMILES are genuine it looks as though it
had made out its case against the World.
1t seems that in the universe of journal
ism We now see what some astronomers
have predicted would be seen in the stellar
regions-the Sun burning up the World.

LETTER FROM PRES. POLK.
He Halls With Rejoicing the
New Party Movement in
MiSSissipDi.

President Polk of the National ALI
ance, has written the following letter
to Mr.. c. w. Bolton, an Alliancemar
of PontotOc county:
DEAR SIR AND BRoTHER-You may
Judge of the thrilling interest with
which | have just read your esteemed
letter, when / tell you that it is the
first intelligence that we have had
from the Peoples Party movement in
Mississippi, but | was not surprised al
the situation, for deep down below
the surface is an irresistible flow oi
public sentiment which is gradually
revealing its power. From all por-
tiOns of the country comes the cheer
ing news that the people are arousing
themselves as never before, and the
outlook now is that this movement
will sweep the country in November.
You may regard this as extravagant,
but if Cleveland and Harrison be NOM
mated, as believe they will be, and
if Congress adjOurns without giving
us substantial financial relief, as /
believe it will do, and if the Omaha
convention shall act wisely, as | think
it will, in the adoption of a platform
and in the selection of candidates we
will witness the greatest political
revolution in our history, and one in
my judgement which will be of such
force and power that it will sweep the
country.
The demand for my services in the
field is greater than ever before, and
1t greatly mOrtifies me to find myself
less able than ever before to respond
to it. And again, by virtue
of the impending campaign the duties
of my Office are becoming more and
more exacting and laborious. Every
day | am forced to decline to accept
invitations from all sections of the
country.
Wish could come to your State,
but do not see that it will be practica-
BILE. North Carolina and Georgia are
at white heat Both will run full
electoral ticket and will be represent
ed at Omaha. ask you as person
al and public favor that you write a
brief letter on the Mississippi situation
and mail it to n. A. Dunning, 239
North Capitol street, Washington, ID.
c., to be published in our newspaper,
which comes out this week. You have
little conception of what joy the news
of your State will be received with
throughout the country. 1t will arouse
new inspiration and new hope, for il
is thought all over the country that
Mississippi is one of the States that
could not make any show in this move
ment. Let me suggest, also, that you
drop note to the Topeka Advocate
Topeka, Kansas, and the Nonconfor-
mist, at Indianapolis, Indiana. 1t will
indeed be news and glorious news tc
all our Northern brethren. Let then
have it by all means.
Yours truly and fraternally,
L. L. Polk.
