THE Sun CHOLERA MIxTURE.-More than
twenty years ago, when it was found that
prevention of cholera was easier than cure q
prescription drawn up by eminent doctors was
published in the New York Sun, and it took
the name of the Sun cholera mixture.
Our contemporary lever lent its name to

use for nearly two score years, and found 1t TO
be the best remedy for looseness of the bowels
ever yet devised.
No one who has this by him. and takes 1t N
time will ever have the cholera.
We commend it to all our friends Even

THE NAvIEs OF THE WoRLD.-Mr.
Alexander D. Anderson. of Washing
ton, was in Baltimore last night. He
said his connection with the Worlds
Fair terminated last February, and he
is now interested in the success of the
great review of the naval squadrons of
the world next April at Hampton
Roads. All the invitations bave been
sent out to the maritime nations of the
world, and of the fifty-nine countries
that have accepted invitations to par
ticipate in the fair, it is expected those
having fleets will send some of their
vessels to the reviews at Hampton or
New York. Congress has appropriated
fifty thousand dollars for the prelimi-
nary expenses, and when the programme
is decided upon by the Secretary of the
Navy, there is no doubt that most of
the nations will have accepted the inyi-
tations. The commander of the British
North Atlantic feet has already been
ordered to take his squadron to Hamp-
ton Roads in April.

AN EFFIcAcIoUs REMEDY.-Two un-
protected women of Warsaw, ILL.,, were
beset by a couple of dissolute men a
few days ago and were subjected to the
vilest of threats. The women barr-
caded their bedroom door and one Of
them armed herself with shotgun,
which she used with good effect upon
one of the scoundrels. This contains =
valuable suggestion for women who are
left at the mercy of rowing tramps and
desperadoes. They should provide
themselves with shotguns and practice
with them until they become proficient
in their use, then when Mr. William
comes along and trys to cut up any of
his tricks they can save the hangman

People who have always doubted the
existence of a genuine sea serpent can
now have their doubts settled with but
little trouble and expense. A recent
dispatch from Saginaw, Mich, conveys
the intelligence that the Green Point
serpent, a regular attraction, has been
killed. The killing was probably done
by disintercstcd parties who had no
sympathy with the hotel business of the
place. The post-mortem dimensions of
the monster were not quite up to the
ante-mortem figures, but they were
large enough to entitle the defunct
terror to be classed as full-blown, sea-
side, summer sea serpent.

TITS peculiar fact, and one that has
attracted considerable attention in
medical circles and journals, that the
affliction, or at least popularity, of
deafness in one ear, is greatly on the
increase. In walking along the street
with friend it is by no means unusual
TO cross to the other sidewalk he is
careful to keep on the same side of his
companion, while if he cannot do this
he strains his head around in an OBJ
viously painful effort to hear. Like al
most all modern troubles this deafness
in one ear is generally attributed to
the grip, but whether this is so Or not,
the defect is certainly much more COM
mon than it was a few years ago.

SENATOR PLATT says President Har-
rison will not ignore the Force bill in
his forthcoming letter formally accept
ing the republican nomination for the
Presidency. No well-informed man
ever supposed he would, in view of his
oft repeated expressions in favor ofthat
bill. But he would be foolish TO do so.

Iect of chat bill Why, the republicans
of Massachusetts are so enamored Of it,

ardent advocate of it, has declined a

Dir. Johnny Davenport is the real au-
thor. Oh, no! Mr.. Harrison may not
call it a Force bill, but he will endorse

Mr.. PECK, the so-called democratic
labor commissioner of New York, may
print as many papers as he chooses in
the vain attempt to show that the Nc
Kinley bill has increased wages and de-
creased the cost ofliving, but they will
not change the popular opinion on that
subject, which has been formed not by
papers, but by sad personal experience.
If AIr. Peck be right, then the recent
strikers have even less sense than they
are generally supposed to have, for
why should sane laborers strike
and commit arson and murder when
their wages have been increased and
the cost of supporting themselves and
their families been diminished?

SENATOR TELLER, of Colorado, who
is one of the most radical silver men
in Congress, has introduced resolu-
ton providing for an international
monetary conference. It is in this
way that the solution of the silver mon
ey question must be consummated,
and it BODIES well for the advocates of
free silver that their leaders have &C
cepted the international plan as the
proper way out. An international
adoption of free silver coinage will
eliminate all trouble over the disparity
of values between silver and gold coin.
Even many of the most ardent advo-
Gates of silver have doubted tine wis
dom Of adopting free coint 5e regard
less of the monetary policies of other
nations, and no doubt this more con-
servative measure of Senator Teller
springs from a.deeper insight as to
how good money may be placed in
circulation and the stability of our
county's finances at the same time al
lowed to run no risk of being impaired.
The west needs more money, and any
measure designed to increase the coin
age of silver will naturally have the
hearty support of our representatives
in Congress.

Having disposed Of nay interest In
the GLOBE REPUBLICAN to E. E. Smith,
of this city, /, with this issue of the
paper, sever my connection with the
same and leave it in worthy hands,
my late partner and present manager,
Mr.. w. G. Sbinn, and the new pur
chaser, both well and favorably known
to the people OF this city, county and
state, who, I have no reason to doubt,
will continue its publication and
maintain the same high standard OF
excellency it has attained, for the fu
ture, that was accredited to it in the
past. For the new management be
speak the same generous treatment
and liberal patronage accorded to the
old. Being regarded and recogniz
ed as one of the permanent institu
lions of this city, and having kept
eyen pace with the public spirit and
progress manifested by the people
which it claimed to represent, it is
justly entitled to that generous aid
and support together with an increas
ed patronage from people for whose
interest it has necessarily labored
since its birth, December 25th, 1877.
The very many sal as we'll as thrill
ing events recorded on its pages re
call TO the minds Of its many read
ers that they, too. have an interest in
the preservation and pcrpetuation Of
this historical record in which they
have been SO Intimately connected.
1t has sung your praises; it has ex
pressed your sadness and sorrows; it
has defended your family and your
homes from maligners and wrong
doers; it has recorded the births, mar
riages and deaths of the city; it has
recorded your prosperity and dealt
generously with your adversities; it
has befriended thepoor and needy; it
has stood up for the right as against
wrong or evil -doers; it has been your
oracle of speech when justice demand
ed that you should be heard. It was
my pride and pleasure to do all this
for people with whom 1 nave been
associated SO long and who have be
slowed on me and mine many favors,
acts of kindness, words of comfort
and good cheer. It is with many re
grets that thus sever my connection
with paper for which the best years
of my life and service have been di-
rected, all cf which was willingly |
given and cheerfully rendered, the
acceptability of which has been made
manifest in many ways by the people
in the past. I therefore leave you
with the record made; whether good,
bad, or Indifferent, it must stand. I
could not change it if I would, and
would not change it if I could, but
leave it to be passed upon by a jury
of my severest critics, and, if imparti-
ally considered, will stand by their
verdict. q. N. Frost.

EVERYBODY knows bluff, honest, ole
John Kelsey. He dropped into oul
office the other day and left commun
ication with the remark: "This goes
every word, and it ought to be put
stronger" His name is at the bottom
and that is worth more then score
Of non, de p'umes with which the col
umns of our esteemed contemporaries
have been teeming the last few weeks
If other reliable citizens would take
the trouble 10 do as Mr.. Kelsey has
done, II would be better tl.an calling
in outsiders. Those who have been
moved to sympathy by listening to
tales of bad food, and insufficient quan
tity and quality Of supplies generally,
should go down and visit the place
asking to be shown through the ar
chives, conversing freely with the
old veterans who dwell there, they
could determine for themselves wheth
er or not there were such wrongs as
to justify change in the management.
Then, if their judgment is adverse, it
would be time enough to call in out
siders to judge of the matter, as the
monkey was called in. to. do justice be
tween the cats as to division of cheese.
In other words, if Hayes City or some
other point desirous of securing this
in stitution should manage to have the
investigating committee made up of
parties interested in their behalf, such
rival city could easily do the monkey
act by ingeniously weaving into their
report false statements to the effect
that the location hero at this city was
unfavorable for the general welfare
and good government of the Home.
Such report, though we might all
know its utter absurdity, would have
great weight with the next legislature,
and endanger the very life of this
growing institution. If it is to be
killed in this way, let us first make
ourselves very certain that it deserves
the death penalty. There are no
barred avenues OF forbidding sentries
to impede entrance to the ayenging
investigator. One would suppose
from "Obseryer's" plaintiye appeal in
the Dodge City Times there were Sc
cret, mysterious, unexplored dungeons
there, where the philanthropic inves
tigator may not enter and investigate.
Why does not "Observer" go and in
vestigate, as hundreds of others are
doing. He does not need a royal pass
port to enter those portals. He can
60 unchallenged from house to house,
and from barracks to barracks with
out the slightest objection from any
one, so long as he conducts himself
soberly and decently. Scores of out
siders come and go to and from this
place every week. If any of them feel
like Investigating, there is nothing
under heaven to prevent their doing
SO. Even the books and records of
the institution are opened up for ex-
by any curiously inclined
who may desire to see them.
Only the other day an accredited re-
preventative of the Grand Army Fo-
rum, published in Wichita, went
the Home and thoroughly in
vestigated everything. The result Of
his investigation we reproduce in this
issue for the benefit of our readers.
We also publish a brief letter from
George Malone, over his own sigma
ture, which explains itself.
