In view Of the probable visitation Of
cholera next year. surgeon-General Wy
man thinks that sters should be taken at
once TO prepare for IT, He says that the
authorities Of every city should set about
cleaning up at once. and should put their
cities in the most perfect sanitary con-
dition possible before spring and the cree
ton Of isolation hospitals should not be
delayed where cities are not already pro-
vided with them. Too much Importance
cannot be placed on the complete isola-
ton Of all suspected cases. The health
authorities of every city should instinct
the physicians to lose no time in report
ing every suspected case at once and
ample provision should be made for its
isolation at once There need be no pub
lie announcement Of the existence Of
suspected case so as to get up a scare,
but Che house and room in which the pa
tient Is located should be guarded so as to
prevent any contact whatever with any
other person" The authorities Of the city
OF Richmond should take due notice of
DR. Wymans advice and warming and
govern themselves accordingly. In cholera
visitation one grain of preparation is
worth whole tons Of cure.
Latest reports from Montana and
Wyoming are that the Republicans will
be likely to be frustrated in their efforts
TO steal the United States senatorships Of
those States. The decisions Of the courts
10 whom the matter has been referred
have not yet been given out, but all the
preliminary decisions have been favor
able to the Democrats. BY the way. it is
very singular that the Republicans should
be trying so hard TO defeat the peoples
will when they all declared. when they
first got the news Of the election, that
they were glad the Democrats had Sc
cured the Senate, as 1t would be better
for that party to have full responsibility
for future legislation. They were blatant
enough in making this declaration when
they thought they were beaten beyond
hope. but they were very quick to try
and defraud the Democracy out of United
State senators whenever they saw the re-
hottest opportunity for so doing.
Ex-senator John j. Ingalls,, the states
man out Of a job" in conversation in
Philadelphia day or two ago, was very
severe ON the Republican party. Among
other things. ne declared that "the Re
publican party is now at stage in its
history where it is without leaders and
without hope. and must start anew and
build Itself up. 1t gave no evidence in the
past campaign that there was a single
politician in its ranks who understood
the pure business of modern politics. Not
one This is true, but whether Mr.. In
gals was really expressing his opinion,
or whether or not he was insinuating that
the Republicans badly needed such
leader as himself does not transpire.
The Monetary Conference at Brussels
has adjourned, after adopting a resolu-
ton expressing gratitude to the Govern
ment al Washington for giving it SO good
as opportunity TO again study the position
Of silver. II was decided TO meet again
May 18th. II the respective Governments
agreed thereto. Nothing. therefore. has
been done and as the European nations
are generally opposed TO silver as money.
not much, II any. benefit can be expected
from the Conference in the way OF bring
ing about bimetallism.
Notwithstanding that The Times of
Sunday was a mammoth edition OF
twenty-four pages. a large amount OF
matter which had been already put in
type was crowded out by the enormous
pressure Of advertisements upon our col
umns. This caused many communica-
tions. much local news and number Of
general articles TO be left over. As much
OF the crowded out matter as can be will
be used to-day. and we will try TO use the |
rest at as carly date as possible.
