Cholera.

A great many people are consol-
ing themselves with the idea that
the early approach, of frost will
destroy the cholera germ and that
we will escape the plague. The
cholera germ Is not like that of
yellow fever and cold weather
win have no effect on it. The chol-
era scourge Of 1879 first reached
MS in December, 1913. Filth is
the lurking place of the germ and
we should be prepared TO meet it
by keeping everything clean
around us. While its ravages
scarcely ever reach the country
districts in its malignant type,
yet its presence in the country is
always felt by frequent cases Of
cholera morbus and kindred dis
eases. Let cleanliness bs~the

will doubtless be a considerable
factor in West Virginia politics
during the present campaign
The motives Of . large nsnber of
those wko are identified VIII n
are good, and they are honest in
the demands for reform which
they are making. They are clam
orous for q reduction of tariff
duties, the reconciliation Of sill
yer and a cheaper rate Of trans
portation, and we fully agree with
them in these demands. The un-
equal distribution of wealth
shows us that there is something
rotten in the body polite. Prince
ly fortunes are being boarded by
the few, while the masses of the
people have a hard struggle to
make buckle and tongue meet.
A high tariff levied in the inter
est of corporate greed has made
agriculture and commerce the
vassols of the manufacturer. The
gold standard has increased the
rate of interest and made stag
nant the current of life which
should. flow through the channels
Of legitimate trade, while the great
railroad lines are reaping all of
the profits Of our farms and mines
and making the reduction Of wa
ges a necessity While great
majority Of the new party see
these evils and are anxious to cor
rect them they have permitted
themselves to get under the con-
troll of broken-down, sore-headed
politicians of the third class, who
are always watching for an OPP
portunity to advance their own
selfish interests, and as a conse-
quence, we find the party follow
ing the wake of all Of the mush-
rooms which have sprung up since
the war, and forming an alliance
in all of the Democratic counties
in THIS State, with the party
which is responsible for all of the
evils of which they are complain
ing, and which is now seeking by
a Federal elections bill, toNmake
any future reform impossible
The Democratic party is the on
ly party which has ever stood for
the rights Of the people, and the
only party which is able to cor
rect the present abuses. Since
the Democratic party came into
power in this State in 1872 no
State Law has been enacted Civ
ing any special privilege to any
class, but the whole body Of the
people without any distinction
whatever, have alike been
benefited by its wise and whole
some laws. Federal legislation
alone has been oppressive of cur
rights. Federal legislation alone
has had the effect of making the
rich richer and the poor poorer,
and for that legislation the Re-
publican party is alone respon-
