OUR IMMINENT PERIL.

The appearance in New York harbor
OF the vessel heavily infected with the
cholera scourge has put that city not
only but the country by the ears. Our
quarantine regulations have been relied
upon TO prevent the approach Of the
dread disease to our shores, and yet
these regulations were not sufficient to
keep it from coming right to the very
door Of our great metropolis With
such a possibility confronting us, it is
worth while to take stock Of our weapons
Of defense. What do they consist of
and how do they compare with the most
modern and approved appliances? Lead
ing New Orleans physicians experienced
IN the use Of disinfecting apparatus, as
sert that the arrangements at New York
and other Atlantic ports are sadly def
Client, Fighting yellow fever every year,
they have become proficient in the
science of disinfection, and their opinion
is worth something. Dr. Joseph Holt,
for long time president of the board of
health of Louisiana, and inventor of the
disinfecting system which for twelve
years past has kept yellow fever out Of
New Orleans without detriment to COM
merce, is quoted thus:
AS for New York and other ports
along the Atlantic seab0Hrd, excepting
Charleston, s. C.,their methods and equip
ments are woefully inadequate to their
necessities. They are, in fact, as revealed
by this emergency, mere political Office re-
warding stations, whose methods are
perfunCtory make-believe to h0odwink the
public with show Of importance, while,
in fact, they lack every essential of scicu-
tlic requirement and trustworthiuess. "
The premise laid down by DR.. Holt,
as to political influence is probably over
drawn, but the present situation bears
out his after statement as correct, as to
New York at least. DR. Holt stands in
the front ranks of quarantine experts.
He is the author Of a system everywhere
acknowledged to be as near perfection
as possible. and he is, presumably, a
man unlikely to make grave public
assertion without reason.
II is not too late to profit by the sug-
questions thrown ont in the matter Of
perfecting the quarantine system in
force along our Atlantic border, and in
addition to tins have the second weapon
ready for instant use extant, and put
into active operation at once at every
exposed point,

THE CONTRAST Is CLEARING.

Senator Perkins says if it were fight
with a Democratic electoral ticket in the
field Cleveland would be beaten by &c.,
600 in Kansas. The people of Kansas
have no use for him. They don't like
mis- position on finance, tariff, pensions
or any public issue. The Democrats.
while they have fused on the state ticket
with the calamity, will not vote to any
great extent. It is a miserably weak
ticket. While they pretend to be a
party working for the interest of the
farmer, they have not a candidate for
state Office that can be considered a rep
resentative of that class. Their candid
ate is third-rate note broker and shaw
era genuine Darkroom shylock. They
have nominated for congressman-at-
large and ex-confederate soldier. This
shows their lack of judgment. There
is no more patriotic state in the union
than Kansas, nor larger proportion of
old soldiers in any other state. The Re-
publican tickes is strong. 1t is well di-
vided geographically, and is made up of
popular representative men"

Topeka Journal: The Knapp build
ing" the new building of the Insane
asylum at Ossawatomie, will be COM
peted and ready for patients by Sept.
-. DIR. Eastman, superintendent of the
Topeka asylum, in a circular just issued
to the probate judges of the state, in re-
gard to the opening Of the new building,
says, that when this new building is
fully occupied, there viii be at least 800
insane in the state who ought to be in
an asylum. The proportion of insane in
Kansas is, however, only one-third to
one-half as large as is found in some of
the older states. DR.. Eastman says the
next legislature should provide for an
other asylum, somewhere in the western
part Of the state.

Revival of the Ballet.

One of the most remarkable features
of the coming theatrical season in New
York city viii be the noticeable preva-
lence of the ballet. OF late years this
form of entertainment seemed to die
out in this country, with the exception
OF such spectacles as the Kiralfys got
up in connection with Barnum's show.
But in tbeaters the ballet had practical
ly ceased 70 exist. All at once there
comes a big and remarkable revival of
this form of entertainment. Perhaps
now that the skirt dances are on the
wane the old-fashioned, voluminous
but short-skirt type of ballet may re
turn to us more popular than ever. II
it proves otherwise it will not be for
want of trying, as no less than six New
York managers are going to expend
heavy money upon the venture.

SERlO-COMlC SINGING.
One of Its Opponents Thinks It Is Moro
Popular Than Ever.

Popular IMAM Ever,
What constitutes success in the serio-
comic line? In my estimation it lies
mainly on two pedals, as it were: First,
the songs to be sung must be composed
on current events, or. in other words,
be up to date. Second, the costumes
must be of the finest, in order 10 sub
stantiate as a background the effect
produced by the songs. AS, for in
stance, you might have the catchiest of
songs and yet, not having an equally
catchy costume, you would fare as well
by remaining of the stage as by go
ing on.
The voice is not such an important
factor as is supposed. The possessor of
a voice-not blessed with vast amount
of sweetuess-would, if it were prop
erly set off by clear distinction in pro-
nunciation, fare, If not better, as well
as one who depended entirely on the
sweetness and music Of the voice. An
exceedingly foolish idea to be enter
tanned by any member Of the serio-
comic branch Of the profession is that
Of relying on the reputation they have
built to carry them through.
Some imagine they can safely say:
well, I am Miss So-and-So; they all
know me The same old songs viii do
them" etc In this instance Shakes
peare's quotation: What fools these
mortals be" would be an appropriate
application, as the public pay new
money every time they visit the
theater, and they want new songs" in
return, not chestnuts-
With q moderate amount OF chic OF
the right sort. fair voice and new,
catchy songs, the success of the seric-
comic can never be in doubt. OF course,
if the artist possesses in addition prct-
~ face and fine figure, her success Ia
assured.

ANOMALOUS CONDITIONS.

The election in Alabama last month, it
seems, has changed the opinions of Peo-
| pies party men throughout the country
in regard to the question Of popular suf-
! frage in the south, and, instead of de-
nouncing the alleged force bill plank in
the national Republican platform-which
! is nothing more than a demand for free
ballot and fair count-as they have by
resolution in convention, state and ma
tional, they are now beginning to appeal
to the country for an adequate election
law. Investigation into the election re-
turns in Alabama has developed the fact
that in many precincts the majOrities re-
TUNED were very much greater than are
actual inhabitants in the precincts, in
Guiding men, women and children of
both races. The Alliance people down
there declare they viii not longer sub
NIT to such outrages. and, as they EN-
brace large portion of the white peo-
pie, it is possible that something will be
done.
The political situation and the status of
parties in this connection is anomalous.
The status Of the South as regards cleo
tons and election methods is not differ
ent now from what it has been for years,
and because it has protested against
them the Republican party has been Wilt
fed and traduced from one end Of the
continent to the other by tAe defenders
of such methods and resulting outrages.
! his denunciation forms a conspicuous
part of the campaign thunder of the
Peoples party in Kansas at this moment.
Notwithstanding the fact that through
the application of the principles advo-
Gated by the Republican party alone in
the southern states can the new party as
such ever hope 10 secure even a show of
recognition in the distribution Of public
favors Independent of the Democratic
party. And not only SO, but the new
party in Kansas has called to its aid in
its warfare against the Republican party,
the very party which III the South is its
bitterest ana most implacahle foe.
Strange infatuation
