SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER IS. 1892
Cholera and Calmness.

The cholera " scare" in this country is
in striking contrast with the composure
which prevails in most Of the cities of the
Old World. For instance, hundreds of
persons nave died from the disease in
Paris during the summer. but at no time
have its people been alarmed and until
very recently tina. gay city was crowded
with foreign pleasure-seekers. What made
most OF these visitcrs leave was not so
much the fear Of taking the cholera as the
dread that they would be quarantined upon
arriving at their homes.
London scarcely knows that cholera is
abroad except from the influence it has on
SITS commerce; yet the authorities there
have taken great precautions to prevent
;ts introduction, and II it is introduced
will be able 20 treat 1t promptly and deci-
sively. A scare" was not needed to put
Ste machinery into operation. II WIS
necessary. however. IN America. and we
are now probably better prepared to deal
with this scourge OF the East than any Eu-
Jopean government is. and the resu of our
preparation is that a calm Is taking posses
sion of the public mind.
Let us look az the situations Many per-
Sons have died en- rOue from infected ports
20 this country, but the New York quaran-
tine system has been remarkably effective.
AZ has been harsh but successful so sue
oessful, indeed, that only tuflng number
of cases have appeared IN the city. Now
that immigration has been brought to a
halt now that the quarantine system of
the port has been perfected. and the most
stringent sanitary measures have been put
in forcein the city. there is little danger to
Doe apprehendsd. Doubtless cholera cases
will be reported from day 10 day. but we
should always consider their number in
COMPARISON with the immense population
of New York. And the fact that many other
cities are quarantininG against New York.
and are thus iniuring It's good name and
business. will rodouble the exsrtions of
;ts authorities 10 root out the disease as
far as money, skill and scare can do it.
No other city IN the United States could
have acted with more determination than
New York has acted and her health officers
hre entitled to great credit. Instead of
that they have been roundly abused, and
often where they did not al all deserve it.
We might as well prepare ourselves to
hear for weeks TO come OF cholera cases in
New York and ether cities, but we should
always bear in mind that no community is
now likely to be caught mapping.
Cholera 10 now treated more successfully
than ever before, and while the means of
spreading il are greater than formerly,
Warnings OF danger can be communicated
from place to place with speed not
known of old. SO let us face the situation
with confidence proportoned to the prepa-
tations that we have made to protect the
public health.

Mr.. DaYls's Monument.

The conference yesterday between the
representatives of the Davis Monument
Association Of Virginia and the commit
tee of the United Confederate Veterans
removed most of the obstacles that have
hitherto prevented the desired progress in
the matter Of raising funds to erect in
or near this city monument to commend
rate Hon. JEFFERSON DAVIS services. sacri-
fees, and sufferinGs.
In view of the fact that Richmond wes
the capital of the Confederacy and that
Mrs. DAVIS has expressed the wish that it
should be selected both as the permanent
burial-place of her husband and as the
spot for the monument, the veterans com
mittee, who were clothed with ample
powers. in substance agreed that their or
ganization would throw oil of its infu-
ence-and it is very, weighty-in favor of
Richmond.
All other plans and schemes are to be
abandoned, aud there is to be made
throughout the South q united and de-
termined effort in support of the Davis
Monument Association chartered by the
General Assembly of Virginia. When the
people of Richmond subscribed to fund
TO erect a monument TO Mr. DAVIS no con-
dition with respect to location was at
tached. Had Jackson, Miss, or New Or
leans. or Memphis been centred upon, as
Richmond has now been, our money
would have gone 10 such city, and we may
reasonably conclude that every other
southern city will be as patriotic as we
meant TO be.
The permanent burial and monument
are 20 be here. The funds collected for
this purpose by the United Confederate
Veterans will be sent to Richmond, and
we understand that like course will DO
pursued by the Southern Press Association.
MIR. DAVIS will have a suitable monu-
ment. 1t will be erected in Richmond by
the people of all the southern States. All
other plans are to be fused into the plan
of the Virginia association, which will at
once set to work 10 choose a design and
site and to lay the cornerstone.

Mr clevelnnd.s Ernoaled Letter.


The people are becoming little impa-
tient at the delay Of MIR. CLEVELAND TO
publish his letter accepting the noni-
ton OF the Democratic National Conven-
ton for President Of the United States.
Not that they have sng fear that no will
not be equal 10 the occasion. nor because
he has not let the public get an mixing Of
the contents of that letter. but because it
seems to great many persons that the
campaign has not fully begun until the
nominees of both parties have formally
accepted the nominations rendered to
them.
The appearance OF Mr.. HARRJsoS's letter
OF acceptance has increased the anxiety
of the Democrats TO see and study the
contents aud arguments Of their candi-
dates letter Of acceptance. Mr.. HARm-
sons letter was pennod with the utmost
care and commanded the appreciation Of
his party friends. He advanced some
arguments which it would not be amlss for
Mr.. CLEVELAND TO weigh in the balances
when he comes to issue his own letter OF
acceptance.
Dit. NLENIiAND Ot hhltlN AAhot'N
not to write too long letter. Indeed. so
far rs we are concerned, we should like
for him 10 write a letter as long as Dir.
HARRIsoN's and let the public know what
be thinks OF the arguments OF the Repub-
lican nominee on the various important
questions which the latter passed in review
in his letter of acceptance. Mr.. CLEVELAND
has written large number of letters since
BIO was nominated for President, but be has
not penued a sentence out Of which the
Republicans could make party capital.
We need not fear impolitic utterances
from him.
During his recent visit 70 New York
city Dir. CLEVELAND had abundant oppor-
tunity to consult with the long headed
Tammany leaders and with Mr.. WHITNEY
and number of others of the shrewdest
and abost of the Democrats in the United
States as 70 what sort of letter he should
is, long or short, or argumenta-
tive or not. We would vote, as we have
just said, for full letter; for it has been
so long since he was nominated that the
seems to lack one of his power
full productions. The people oil like to
see what their leader thinks, and how he
can express himself on the great questions
at issue between the two parties.
But If Mr.. CLEVELAND writes long let
ter will he not run the risk of perpetu-
ating blunder? No, indeed. He will not
SIMPLY supply US with new battle-cry
and rouse his followers to the Importance
Of the crisis. but will present new arGu-
ments, or if not new arguments, old argu-
ments in a new dress, and cause the fight
for freedom to be opened all along the
lines. Let us hear from our standard bearer.

Russ,a's Retrogade Movement.


Russia has treated the world to another
surprise by Withdrawing from the Psmr
country.
Two theories are advanced to account
for this action. One is that the YANoFF ex.
petition was purely for the purpose of re-
connoltring the passes leading into China,
India. and Afghanistan, and thus pre-
pairing for the favorable moment for adj
vancing on Cabul and tapping around on
the northeastern frontier of India. The
other Is that the appointment of Lord
RosEBERY as British Foreign Secretary was
recognized by Russia as indicating that it
would not do TO venture too far on the
strength OF Mr.. GLADsToSI's past foreign
policy.
As Russia, even in her recommending ex-
petitions. has seldom failed to hold either
by hook or by crook some strategic adj
vantage in the territory invaded, and as it
is admitted that the Pamirs contain many
valuable strategic points, the greater
weight would seem to attach TO the ROSE
BERY theory,
In any event, however, Russis's retro
grade movement IS calculated 10 rebound
to the benefit of Mr. GLADsToSE's admins
tration. The turmoil existing In Afghan
lstan owing to the rebellion of certain
tribes against the authority Of the Ameer
certainly presented unusually favorable
conditions for Russian aggression in that
quarter. and there were evidences both in
India and England Of feeling that the
situation might call for vigorous measures.
With the return Of Mr. GLADSTONE TO
power there would in all probability have
been most pronounced manifestation Of
this feeling had it not become understood
that he would place Lord RosEBERY in
charge of the Foreign Office.
Mr.. GLADSTONE has. it now appears,
passed successfully the first foreign crisis
in his administration, and no matter how
this was brought about. the effect must be
TO create more confidence in the govern
ment and dissrm in appreciable degree the
criticisms Of the opposition

Registration Laws-Indiana.

Judge HADLHY, of the Hendricks Circuit
Court. of Indiana. has decided that the
registration law of that State is unconsti-
tutionai and therefore null and void. He
holds that it is unconstitutional because,
whilst the Constitution allows a man to
vote who has resided thirty days within
nm election precinct. the Indiana registra-
tion law requires a residence of fifty mine
DAYS. II seems 20 US that this Is clear
case OF uuconstitutiOnality, inasmuch as
the Legislature of Indiana undertook to
add 10 the qualifications required IN
voter by the State Constitution. And yet
81 might be maintained that all registra-
ton laws do IN some measure add TO the
qualifications which person must have
sn order to become voter.
Judge HADLKY holds that the regstra-
ton law Of Indiana is unconstitutional for
another reason-namelv, because tits class
legislation. That is to say. whilst the
Constitution provides for or contemplates
o general registration law, the Indiana law
requires only certain sort Of voters tore
gister--.ay those residing IN cities and
towns.
These two objections may be sufficient
to put an end TO the Indiana registration
law. The Supreme Court of that State
will soon decide. Indeed, that court has
already decided against the constitution
hlity OF certain portion OF the re2istra-
tion law.
1t appears that but few persons paid any
attention 20 the recent call for the voters
TO appear an6 register their names, and
that the time for registration has passed.
So that il the Supreme Court decides the
registration Law 10 DO constitutional thou
sands of voters will be disfranchised.
But there is q case pending in the courts
of Indiana which is much more important
than the two we have mentioned. 1t is
case in which the Supreme Court is asked
10 set aside the appointments of 1885
and 1891 for the election of members of the
Legislature. But IN the name OF reason
what is to become of all the laws which
have been passed by the Legislature of ln-
diana elected under these apportionments?
Ii would be safe tor the courts TO take the
ground that the Reproducing OF the
State for the election OF members OF the
General Assembly was by the Constitution
entrusted TO the Legislature, and that the
sction of that body was final.
We add that the Supreme Court of In
diana is Republican tribunal. This fact
ought not to influence the court in render
ing its decisions in the cases mentioned;
but will probably do so, seeing that the
Republicans openly boast that they have
that court on their side. Thereapportion-
saent question might take such form as
70 change the result of tho presidential
election.

The Force Bill Forshadowed.

At Wilmington. Del, a day or two ago,
WILLIAM b. CURRIS, a Democratic election
officer, was arrested and held TO bail on
the charge of nine negroes that he had re-
fused to register them under the United
States election law. Should the force bill
become law such arrests will be hume
rous enough to deter the Democrats from
attempting to secure their rights as voters.
Negro Federal supervisors arresting white
State officers will be common spectacle.
Be sure you do not contribute your assist
ance TO bring about this condition Of
things. Third-party men and Alliance
men will please take notice and govern
themselves accordingly.

West VirRin.a-Mr. Elkins.

Mr.. EIKINs, in his speech at Davis, w.
Va. made an ingenious appeal to the
pocket.nerve of the Democrats of that
State. He tried to show that she had lag
ged behind in the race for population and
wealth because she had always been Demo-
cratic. Mr.. ELKNs will not succeed in his
effort to carry West Virginiafo HARRISON.
HARRISON failed to carry that State in 1888,
and will tail to carry 1t in 1892. West Viz
ginia Is not going to betray the Demo-
cratic party because she has such i'm
mense fields of coal and iron. She is in a
better condition to-day than Pennsylvania.
Anyhow, we set it down as settled that she
will be true to her mother.
