Cholera and the Worlds Fair.


The advance Of the cholera to our very
shores created no small degree of constorna-
ton in our large cities on the Atlantic coast,
and it looked for a time as if the utmost en-
deavor Of the authorities would not suffice
to ward off the dreaded disease. The graft
flying success which has resulted from the
quarantine thus far, however, affords
ground for the hope that this country may
escape an epidemic. But a new difficulty
presents itself in connection with the
prevalence % the cholera abroad,
even ii It should be successfully
kept out Of the United States. The best
European medical authorities are agreed in
the belief that the danger from cholera in
western Europe win be far greater next
year than it has been ut any time this
year, aud that tie infection, which is now
deeply planted in several countries, and
exists from the easternmost to the western
most boundaries Of the continent, will al
most certainly continue for another year,
as it has often in past times been active for
two years.
\ proof OF this feeling abroad is furnish
ed by the London Lancet, one of the highest
if not the best medical authority in Europe,
which urges the British government to be-
gin at once to prepare for the next year 1t
says that the coming month must be utilized
in preparing to combat the malady next
season (which Is likely TO bring dangers far
in excess of any we are now running,
The possibility of continuance OF the
endemic next year lends the New York
sun to suggest that it may be necessary to
postpone the Chicago exposition on account
Of the appalling ravnges of the cholera even
though we may be so fortunate as to keer
the disease out OF our own country.
1t must ne confessed that the pros
pect is not assuring. Should the cholera
still prevail in Europe to any alarming de-
gree at the opening Of the exposition, it is
difficult to see how even exhibits could be
received from the countries affected, much
Jess admit their people to our shores, with
the possibility of spreading the epidemic
throughout the length and breadth of the
land. In such n contingency it would UNI
doubtedly be necessary to postpone the ex-
position, but it is hoped that no such con
tingency may arise. There is far greater
possibility that the cholera viii interfere

temporaries must not tlatter themselves that
in cnse the exposition is postponed, Gotham
will have any chance of getting it away

company, which has just been launched at
Glasgow. The Campania is a magnificent
vessel GOO feet long and 60 feet wide, with
a depth Of hold of Al feet. Her tonnage
is IA, 800 tons, exceeding that Of the
largest trans Atlantic steamers by 1000 to
1900 tons. Some idea of the immense size
of this ship may be gained from the fact
that thirteen boilers each with eight fur
naces, viii be required to furnish steam to
turn the screw shaft, which is Of solid steel
over two fcct through. One of her smoke
stacks is nineteen feet and nine in ches in
diameter, and SONS of her fleet of boats are
ms large as good sized yachts.
The ocean travelling public as well as
naval circles will be chiefly interested, how
ever, in the speed to he developed by this
giant craft. The vessel is pronounced by
competent authority to approach as near
{ he perfection of mechanical skill as any
thing that has yet been attempted in the
line of ship building and it is claimed that
her triple expansion engines will develop
power sufficient to produce speed OF 20
miles an hour. Should this wonderful speed
be attained the question of profit would still
remain to be settled. The great bulk of
the ship and rate Of speed desired would
render an immense supply of coal necessary
and the other expenses would be necessarily
very great Whether the Campana will
prove n profitable Investment remains to be
seen and on the result OF this experiment
will largely depend tho size of ocean steam
ers to be constructed hereafter.

ly indebted for their popularity as summer
resorts to the variety AMI extent of their
forests which are one of the chief attrGc-
tons of their up!ands and mountains. The
forests lend life and coloring to the
landscape: and wore the mountains to be
denuded of the growth of trees which
graces their slopng sidea their appearance
would be cherries indeed. Example, of
what would follow are to be found in many
places in the Green Mountain State. The
eyes Of the traveller by rail are occasionally
greeted by the sight of a mountain or hill
which presents the appearance OF having
been struck by the hand of decay. In
place of inviting woods with their cooling
shades there are backeued stubbs of par
TALLY burned trees, ugly stumps and de-
caying logs, the whole presenting an aspect
as forbiding as it is cherries. But this
is only what these heights now so attractive
to summer visitors would come to were they
to be stripped of their trees and foliage.
In Wow of the dangers which thus threat
one Of the most attractive features of this
section of New England wO are glad to note
that Now Hampshire has an opportunity to
try n practical method OF preserving her
forests hoping that Vermont may profit by
the example Of her neghbor. Mr.. Austin
Ccrbin suggests the establishment of mum
bor Of State parks in New Hampshire for
the purpose OF preserving the forests; and
he follows up this excellent and practical
suggestion with an offer &c the ctroct that
be viii contribute five per cent Of the cost
of State park up to the amount of 81 OO0

large park of his own in New Hampshire,
so that lie is not making this oaer without

DISASTERS.

We have had a surfeit of disasters
during the past few days. Each day
has brought it's dismal recital Of hav-
oc wrought by fire or flood or tenn
pest. The loss Of life has been great,
and the destruction of property has
swelled into the millions. The West
ern freshets, extending from the head
waters of the Missouri and Mississippi
to the Gulf of Mexico, have ruined
crops and villages in Illinois, Missouri,
Iowa, Arkansas, Louisiana and Miss
issippi to an extent which we in the
East can but family realize, though
the aggregate loss is estimated at
500, ,O0O, ,000 Then tornado swept
through Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkan-
sas and Texas, leaving destruction
and death in it's wake. The mining
suburb of Creede, Col, known as
Jimtown, went up in flame, and tho
of mushroom growth, the loss is cal
culated at 81 600, 900. From across the
sea come tidings of q horror in Przi-
BRAN, Bohemia: fire started in the
Birkenberg silver mine while 500 un-
fortunates were working in it, Hardly
had we counted the precise number
Of the dead, though it had reached
about 200, when all hearts were ap-
palled by calamity nearer home. At
the time of writing the record Of the
extraordinary disaster in the Penn
sylvania oil regions is not complete.
1t is known only that Oil Greek in the
vicinity OF Titusville became swollen
by heavy rains and overfowed its
banks; tank Of oil undermined, emp
tied it's contents upon the swift wa
ters: Q spark from a locomotive ig-
nited a leaking reservoir Of gasoline;
an explosion followed and the waters
were converted into mass OF rolling,
raging flame, enwrapping houses, hu-
man beings, everything it touched; !;
the fiery torrent swept down upon Oil
City, where other explosions took
/ place, and the victims, caught in their
frantic efforts to escape, perished by
scores. Eighteen miles Of death and
desolation mark the track of this aw-
ful catastrophe. The number of dead
is estimated at above five hundred
and none of the unfortunates could
have believed the day before that
such a fate awaited them. Truly, Gin
the midst hs life we are in death -

wont to deal in taffy, and who could
not be persuaded to praise man fol-
whom he had not genuine and we'll
grounded respect, writes as follows to
the Woodstock Standard:
Iventure the prediction that If Col.
Fuller is the republican nominee for
governor he will pull a larger vote in
this town and county than any of his
predecessors ever received. 1t is we'll
known hereabouts that while Col. Full
er and myself have been in accord
politically, yet we sometimes disa-
greed as to methods. 1t is not for me
to say that he was always wrong, and
that [ was always right, nor will aver
the contrary. I have had a personal
acquaintance with him for nearly thir-
ty years, and can testify to his moral
uprightness, his great business capac-
ity, his unstinted benevolence, his
personal popularity, his deep interest
in everything that is for the general
welfare of the State, and his excellent
knowled dge of public affairs. He has

of self-made men.
Commencing with Gov. Holbrook,
who was elected in 1861, I have had
personal acquaintance with every one
of Vermont's governors since, land, be-
lieving that I have some conception
and knowledge of the kind of ability
and men required to fill that distin-
guished Office, have no hesitation in
saving that Levi K. Fuller is we'll

in reference to my townsman, Colonel
Fuller, to rebut many unjust criticisms
that have been published of him since
this campaign began, and to correct
wrong impressions that are liable to
find lodgment with people who do not
know the man. The kind of warfare
that some of his opponents are wag-
ing against him is wrong and will re-
ceive the condemnation it deserves in
the caucuses of this town and county,

HARRISON.

In the nomination of President Har-
rison the national convention has CIV
en- to the party, as we fully believe,
the strongest candidate that could be
selected. To have nominated Mr..
Blaine would have been to court GER
tain defeat. MIR. Mckinley though
clean and strong, could hardly be ex-
pected to run in the pivotal States as
well as the president, who having
been tried, is trusted, and who has
demonstrated both capacity and tidel-
ity as an executive. We believe that
he will be elected by a greater major
ity than before. In 1884, under Mr..
Blaine, the republicans lost the cleo
ton. 1888 they carried it. What is
there to make Harrison less strong
now than in 1888? He has behind him,
in addition 10 his strength Of 1888, q
strong, capable, satisfactory admins
tration; and if some other man had
been nominated, the campaign would
have to be made upon the record OF
his administration.
In New York General Harrison re-
ceived the largest number of votes
ever cast in that State for any
man. He received III, 600 more votes
than were cast for j. Sloat Fassett,
the candidate for governor last year.
AS to Indiana, which is perhaps, as
important to US this year as New York,
it is probably the fact, SO far as Indi-
ana is concerned, that General Harri-
son is the only republican that can
carry that State; if General Harrison
can not, no one can. Mr.. Blaine lost
Indiana 6512, and Harrison carried it
by 2348 Mr.. Blaine lost Connecticut
by 1884 plurality; Harrison by only
336. Wisconsin gave Blaine Il, ,698 plu-
rality, Harrison had 81 ,321. Iowa, Mr..
Clarkson's own state, gave Blaine 49,
796, while it gave Harrison 31,721.
Massachusetts gave Blaine q, ,337; !;
Harrison carried it by 80, ,337. Even
Maine, Mr. Blaine's State, gave him a
plurality of 10000; while Harrison
carried it by 3d. 1858. Kansas gave
Blaine 64, 900, and Harrison carried it
by $4,000.
Blaine held down the democratic
majority in Kentucky TO 34,839; Har-
rison reduced it to 6182. Blaine held
the democratic majority in North Car
olina down to II ,884; Harrisonreduced
it to 1918. Blaine held the demo-
cratic majority in West Virginia down
ia 1921; Harrison reduced it to 1873,
and he is going to carry it this time.
Blaine held the democratic majority
in Missouri down to 33,059; HARRISON
reduced it to 25,717. In Virginia the
plurality against Blaine was 5959; While
Harrison held it down to 1928 These
figures give the strength of President
Harrison, as shown in the election of
1888; and those who call him weak
candidate will have to do away with

In President Harrison's few remarks
to newspaper men after the nomina
ton, sentences occur which place in
trong light his title to public conf
dence.
I claim no other credit than that of
having attempted, without sparing
myself as to labor, to discharge public
duties conscientiously. | cannot ex-
Fpect my Democratic friends to think l
have been on right lines always, and
| yet it has been gratifying to me to
know that many things have secured
1.-The approval of my political oppo-
|nents I have been filed with the
/ Thought that this country was coming
| to an epoch when the flag and the
things that it symbolizes viii be on a
|still higher plane than now, and when
|our influence among the powers of the
Hearth will be enlarged wisely and yet
Theoretically. I exclude no section.
I take into my affection and respect
|Aan the States, and all our people. In
|entering upon this campaign / shall
/ do without malice toward any one. :.
/ have asked of all public offic
ers 4 faithful performance of their
duty. I have felt regret that l was
unable to find a suitable place for
Eeyery deserving friend, but have in
sisted that 1 did not disparage those
could not appoint to place. AS Ihave
had light and strength 1 have tried to
discharge my duty for the public good.
These are not the utterances of a
\ tricky and shifty politician nor of a
cold and clammy selfishness, but Of a
Asincere devotion to duty which COM
|Epels the President to put behind him
thoughts Of personal advantage or
favor in his efforts for the Nations
welfare. 1t lifts party in the esti-
M nation of friends and foes to find that
1t manfully appreciates ard rewards
such devotion to duty.

The night before the nomination at
| Chicago in 1860, Horace Greeley tele-
| graphed to his paper that no power
could prevent Seward, whom he was
| opposing, from being the candidate.
The next day, Hanks, one Of Lincoln's
relatives, appeared in the convention
| in the midst of the balloting, carry
ing on his shoulders two rails which
he and Lincoln had split, and in the
midst of the enthusiasm created by
that incident the Illinois rail splitter
went to the front and on to the presi-
dency and to mortality. On the eve
of the Cincinnati convention of 1876,
Joseph Medill, of the Chicago Tribune,
| telegraphed to his paper that Mr..
Blaine, whom he had persistently op-
posed, would be the nominee of the
convention, and the veteran McCu1-
lough of the st. Louis Globe Democrat,
declared Mr.. Hayes out of the race.
| Yet on the following morning Mr..
Hayes was made the nominee. In the
same year, at ST. Louis, astute politi-
cal managers, like John Kelly and S.
S. Cox, predicted that Samuel J. Til
den would be defeated in the conven-
ton and that the nominee would be a
Western man, probably Thomas A.
Hendricks of Indiana. Mr.. Tilden was
nominated on the first ballot and Hen
bricks was forced to take the second
place.
