THE failure Of efforts to wipe out the
cholera in Europe should lead TO all pre-
cautions necessary for the protection of
this country, and yet this work may be
overdone. immigration should not be
suspended until it is absolutely determ-
ined that this is the only way to keep
ont the plague. This method would
surely result in a serious set back to the
growth of new western states. Last
summer when cholera was in New York
harbor and the country seemed threat
ened, the health authorities were sue.
oessful enough to prevent the appear.
ance OF even a single case in this
country. With further time for prepar
alton and study and the employment O
all needed methods, it would seem q.
though the country might be protected
without reaorting to the prohibition o
all immigration.

We should like very much to know
the name of that distinguished individ-
ual credited by the Inter Mountain with
the spilling of the blood of the republi-
can party in Montana, making the
United States senate democratic, and
thereby sacrificing a great principle Of
government. What an enormous weight
for n man to carry, but how restful
must be his soul when he knows how
much good he has accomplished!

THEY CANNOT BUY 1T.

The New York World claims on au-
thority that the movement to steal the
United States senate has been taken in
hand by certain wealthy manufacturers
of the east who hope to carry out the
fraud by the use of money. The Manu-
facturers' club, Of Philadelphia, which
contributed a very large part of the
Doodle fund for the last campaign, is
specially interested and is said to have
raised enough money to pay off all the
debts left over by Mr.. Carter and his
committee. In return they expect the
hearty cooperation of all leading re-
publicans in turning the result SO en-
phatically expressed last November.
1t is certainly not surprising to learn
OF this movement, for it is to the efforts
of these manufacturing plutocrats that
the high tariff has existed SO long.
They of all are most interested in its
continuance, for a revision of the sched-
ule means a fair distribution to the
great army of producers and therefore
fewer profits to the men who have
grown opulent off the wages of others
But this is a contest that cannot be
bought. The legislator who would sell
his vote to either party would meet with
punishment altogether novel in it's eff
fectiveness. The people demanded tariff
reform and they have won it IN a way
that admits of no misunderstanding
they will tolerate no efforts to deprive
them of an honestly won victory. 1t
ia a question outside of politics. The
verdict has been rendered and canno
be reversed by money.

DIR. TALMAeE, in discussing the Park
hurst issue, says that it is his general
idea that the law and the gospel should
do their very best to put down the evil
complained of. The same may be said
concerning state stealing in Montana
and we think it quite time that the law
made the initial movement; that is, tc
put it down, not protect it.

The Press on Hill.

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-The Herald
this morning says Hill has handled
the situation with consummate tacti-
cal shrewdness. He holds New York
state, or st least he thinks he does,
IN his fist. Yesterdays conv ton
emphasizes the fact that New York
state is very badly split. Hill has the
machine without q doubt, but a very
large number of democrats are yet to
be convinced that he has the people.
The party of the state has q
very bitter feud on its hands
and the aggressive policy of Hill
has excited a degree of opposition
which renders the vote of November
uncertain for himself or Cleveland.
A western man who has also the re-
spect of the people-a man like Wat
terson, for instance, with Hill for
second place, would be certain to
carry New York and the country.
The democrats of the state who are
now divided into factions and losing
no opportunity to knife each other
would unite on such q ticket and
carry the banner to undoubted vic
tory"
The World says: "Senator Hill
has a delegation from II state but
there are 43 states yet to be heard
from and even in two months from
now the real fight for the nomination
will be hardly begun.n The World is
an antagonist of Hill throughout its
editorial.
The Tribune says: "The anti Hill
movement is rapidly gaining strength
aud hoo alroodu ha0nnna anrinna
enough to be called q faction. 1t was
and the influential and upright who
are concerned need not wonder that
the general public cannot understand
how it happens that decent democrats
who were not excited at all by the
seal stealing conspiracy, were not
dreadfully moved because the
convention was held rather
earlier than is customary.
Their indignation against Hill does
them credit, but is rather belated and
is open to the criticism of lacking q
first rate moving cause. However, If
they only have the necessary courage
and wisdom, the anti Hillites can
atone for the past by making the most
of their present opportunities. II
they forced the fighting they can
quickly destroy Hill az q presiden-
tial possibility"
The Times says: 1.-THE almost and
all worst Mr.. Hills convention can
serve only as q hindrance to the
nomination OF Mr.. Cleveland. That
1T will ser g rs al effective bindrance
we do not believe and q revelation of
democratic sentiment in all parts of
the country diminishes every day the
doubt upon that point that the work
of this convention with it's body of in
structed delegates. will lead to the
nomination of Mr.. HILL"
