Orleans" were too many fo- her religious

Orleans" were too many fo- her religious
people,"
Prizefghting is one of "the institutions"
Of New Orleans. Why not? It logically
has a right to life in city where the city
press, without exception, were the de-
tenders and apologists of that gigantic
swindIe, the Louisiana State Lottery, and
where the voters of the city gave major
ity for its candidates in the election that
determined its fate. A city and state that
for years maintained the lottery swindle,
when every other state had placed it under
the ban of the law, Is a city where you
might expect that prizefghting would sit
today enshroned. This city of 10000 per-
sons in the days of slavery was
the most brutal slave mart in
the world. Slavery in Kentucky, vir-
GINA and the other border states
was humanity and morality compared
with the scenes witnessed in the slave
market of New Orleans. Its local politics
have always been fearfuliy corrupt; its
social manners repulsively tolerant Of in
temperance. RIGHTEOUSNESS, dueliing and
gambling. It's blood is noisone wash
of French, Spanish, negro and imbruted
Northern white origin; its public justice
is farce; it steps from the high carnival
of corruption within the law and courts
to the ferocious FRANKS and bloody
assizes of Judge Lynch. Honeycombed
with municipal corruption, blood
stained with murders wrought by the
mob, melted in sensuality, sunk
in the deepest ooze Of moral filth; afflicted
with commercial decay, no wonder that in
New Orleans the prizefghter, the natural
pet and idol Of civilization of pimps,
gamblers and prostitutes, surveys his en-
pire and beholds his home.
New Orleans is the plague spot the
Shoreditch of the South. Listless. idle,
luxurious. passionate, licentious and
ferocious, it is the Naples and Palermo
of America. No wonder the offscourings
OF Sicily and Calabria go to New Orleans;
its disgusting and detestable civilization is
nearest their own.

THE CHOLERA.

Much contradictory information con-
corning the cholera is published. The
cholera spreads by being scattered with
the intestinal discharges, communicating
water courses, rivers, streams and wells,
defiling the linen and bed clothing, and
contriving in an infinite number of ways
80 enter thSiluman system again by means
of food end drink. The germs are not dis
seminated through the atmosphere. They
ere not blown by the winds from one place
20 another. They follow !he lines OF travel
and commerce They are propagated by
individuals. The discharges of infected
persons are the centers from which con-
tagion radates.
The gastric juice OF healthy human
stomach destroys the bacillus. Among
the victims of tbs cholera are chiefly those
whose general health is impaired, or who
suffer from disorders of the stomach. such
as dyspepsia and gastric catarrh. With
digestive apparatus in good condition.
plenty Of exercise in tho open air, and
careful selection of ones food and drink, a
healthy person will escape the cholera.
Cholerine is Asiatic cholera; 1T is only a
name given to type of the disease which
IL of medium severity. Concerning the
origin Of the cholera the New York Sun
says:
ne cause OF cholera Is = minute germ or bac-
seduIn. which enters the body by way of the
sl,rieatscy canal, and IL propagated in the In
tsstines. Koch, who discovered the bacillus of
tnbs-culcsis, ant who has indicated by his mar
yclous methods of experiment and research the
direction In which to look for a cure of con-
sumption, was sent by the German government.
81 1888 te India to investigate the cholera cpl
deri'o there. In the intestines Of oil
who died from this disease he found a
anicro-organism OF peculiar shape, curved
and bent ike q comma, and to this was
given the name of comma bacillus. The
Comc,a bacillus has never been observed except
ln the victims OF cholera. Additional proof OF
its being The cause OF this pest was afforded by
further experiments, undertaken not only by
Koch. bill. also by Rietsch and Nicati, who pro-
6accd ohoera In guinea pigs by introducing the
comma bacillus into their in:estines.
"he bacillus enters the system by way of the
stomach aud lives and propagates In the intes-
unes. There IL manufactures a ptomaine. or
poisonous substance, which, being absorbed
lpto tho system, gives rise to the symptoms
which we recognise as those OF cholera.

MISSIONARY WORK IN THE CONGO
STATE.

The hostility Of the Arabs in the Congo
State will put stop to missionary work.
except that which is effected by the shot
gun policy. The truth is that missionary
work with the heather to be effective
must march side by side with the civiliza-
ton of the sword. Not necessarily to use
the sword with brutal injustice, but as
part Of the spectacle of the superior
strength, skill and comfort of the ma
terial power of Christian civilization. This
has always been effective to arrest the
attention Of the deaf and blind to the
presentation of the spiritual superiority of
Christianity, open its eyes and ears to the
appeal of the potentiaiity of its material
superiority over faith in gods. who do not
and cannot give such good gifts to their
devotees as, under the God of the Christian,
are the possession and prize of the whole
people.
1t is notorious fact that the bigotry of
caste in India never yielded appreciably
until steamboats, were placed on the great
rivers of India and railroads began to
spread like vast iron web over its i'm
mense territory. The quick transporta-
ton was welcomed by all, and with this
constant daily contact of Christian with
heather, caste in its original rigidlty began
to be relaxed and the priests to lose some
thing Of their absolute control over the
people. Christianity cannot work its way
to any purpose through the jungles of
barbarism if it marches far ahead of the
material forces and comforts of Christian
civilization, which are necessary to arrest
the attention OF the savage by showing
him the superior practical results that
flourish under our faith and by holding
his savage arrogance and egotism in awe.
The Natal Times once printed the follow.
ing:
"Iet u dine together" said the native king to
the missionary.
"with great pleasure" replied the good man;
"but must be host"
II have planned it differently" said the king,
with bleak light in his eye; "you shall be the
dinner"
This bit of humor is often reality when
the missionary of today initiates the en-
thusasm of Marquette and Joliet and he
filings himself into the wilderness of bar
barism so far from the marching material
forces of civilization in the shape of
swords and soldiers that the savage is i'm
pressed with nothing so much a. the fact
that there is weak white man in his land,
whose defenselessness is q standing invi.
tation to the savage to murder him for the
sake of his clothes and his gun. and for
the sake Of his skull, which in Africa is
popular as pretty 'parlor ornament" for
a Congo king.
The Congo Free State, when thoroughly
protected by European arms, will form
good base for missionary work. but mis-
sionary can do no good playing knight
Errant in the armor of the Lord.

cotton piece goods from the United King
