THE MARCH OF THE CHOLERA.

Another shadow is hanging over
Europe-a shadow which has strick-
en- terror to many a household, and
claimed thousands upon thousands
OF victims. Asiatic cholera is max
ing fearful havoc in the countries
across the water. Marching through
Russia, Persia and other empires, re-
sisting all attempts to control it, the
dread disease has developed in
Germany, has cropped out also in
portions of England, Scotland and
Wales, and threatens to leap the in
tervening space and fix its hold upon
this country-which may a kind
Providence forbid.
The reports which come from the
afflicted countries are appalling IN
the extreme, and have aroused health
authorities elsewhere to a most vigi-
a Mt attitude. Whether America is
to escape the calamity which threat
ems depends entirely on the action of
lllS HSdllH OOdl Us a. 1Oi - VI Gill y,
and we are glad to note that these
officials are awake to the importance
of prompt and stringent measures.
A strict quarantine has been establish
ed at New York and vessels from in
fected ports will be closely watched.
The coming of the cold weather
would check the scourge, but there is
time, between now and then, for the
disease to work sad havoc.
No occasion exists for undue alarm
but in view of the circumstances, local
authorities should be on the alert,
and individuals look well to the OBJ
servance of sanitary regulations.

THE BUFFALO STRIKE.

The attempt on the part of the
striking switchmen at Buffalo to
induce other railroad organiza tons
throughout the country to champion
their cause and show sympathy by
joining in a general strike has failed,
and the strike has been declared off.
Several other labor leaders held a
conference with Grand Master Sar-
gent of the switcfmen's organiza-
ton, but, instead of endorsing the
move he had made in calling out the
switchmen, they advised him to put
an end to the strike, and this was
done.
The result of the ill-timed outbreak
of the switchmen at Buffalo will sur
prise nobody. The riotous conduct
of these strikers from the very first
made their cause lost one, and the
longer the strike was allowed to run
the more bitter did the public con-
demnation of it become. Apparent
ly taking their cue from the hot
heads at Homestead, the ringleaders
of the disturbance at Buffalo main
tanned violent attacks on the
property of the corporations against
which they were contending, and
arson and plumber became their
chief occupation. With this sort Of
thing the American people have no
sympath and even those who are
inclined always to take the side of
the workingman when it comes to a
demand upon corporations for in
creased compensa ton or shorter
hours, soon lose their interest and
sympathy when such violence is re-
sorted to.
The strike has proved an expensive
thing for the people of Erie county,
who will have to foot bill of some
$275,0OO for the support Of the
state militia which was called out to
defend the property Of the railroads
involved in the strike The lesson
taught at Homestead has been repeat
ed at Buffalo-that strikes are
disastrous to both sides, and foolish
in the extreme.

Chairman Carter of the republican
national committee takes cheerful
view of the situation, and says: Il
never saw republican campaign
open with better prospects. Not
only do 1 find thorough organizatio
everywhere working harmoniously
for success, but many political cir
cumstances are contributing to help
u.s."
Congressman Grout has not taken
any part on the stump this fall, but
good use will be made of his speeches
in the last congress. The national
republican committee has ordered
printed million copies of the speech
made by him in the house of re-
presentatives on August 5, upon the
appropria tons made by the session of
congress just closed.
Wade Hampton of South Carolina
said recently that when the repub-
lican convention brought the force
bill so wildly before the people they
wiped the alliance out in the South,
and made those states solid for the
dem ocra tic ticket" But the election
in Alabama, for instance, proved
Hampton anything but true
prophet. ''Wiping out" came near
being the fate of the democracy in
that state.
F. w. McGettrick of St. Adams
told the Brighton democrats, the
other day, that there was more
political corruption in this state to
the square inch than in any other
state of it's size in the Union" This
is the cheapest kind of demagogism,
that never accomplishes anything
save in the minds of those too fond of
ignorance to do any thinking for
themselves and too full of partisan
prejudice to dispute what cheap
orators tell them.
Democracy, as a party, is a con-
sistent group. The national plat
form adopted at Chicago this sum-
mer pledges "relentless opposition to
the republican policy of prohigateex-
penditure. But while this pledge
was being made at Chicago the first
session of the Fifty-second congress
was getting away with $5O7,711,-
1851 of the peoples money,
which is nearly $40, 100000 more
"prohigate' record than its re-
publican predecessor made. How
ever, the democratic exhorters at
local caucuses and general rallies do
not enlarge upon this feature of the
case.

At Rutland the other day Senator
Proctor gave the republicans some
good advice, that may be taken home
by every republican in the state.
Here it is:
Il wish to impress upon you the i'm
portance of the coming September cleo
ton. 1t is not state matter but a ma
tional one. The vote for president, and
the expression of your choice bewteen the
principles of the two great parties.
The main question cannot be covered up
by any state. If the republican party
maintains its average majority it will be
hailed as a republican victory. If the
democrats reduce that majority it will
be heralded far and wide as an omen of
democratic success in the nation. You
are individually responsible for a full
vote for Fuller and Stranahan, and be-
levelyou will do Your duty, and see to it
that Vermont rolls up handsome ma
jority in September that will presage the
election of Harrison and Reid in Novem-
ber"

1t seems just trifle queer to read
that messengers and accountants in
the late lamented Maverick Bank at
Boston were allowed to sign notes
for thirty and forty thousand
dollars. But it is not at all queer
that an institution doing that sort

pletely in the hole. Note signers

From Hartford City, Ind, comes a
story that has an unusual color, but
which reveals spirit that might
well be duplicated elsewhere. Five
men were killed by an accident at
the glass works-four of them being
married. J. V. Smith, the contractor,
was away when the accident oc-
Cured, but came home at once, saw
that the dead employees were prop
erly cared for, sought out the
widows and orphans and supplied
their immediate wants, then gave
each widow thousand dollars. All
this in spite of the fact that coron-
er's jury had said that the accident
was unforeseen and unavoidable.
More contractors of that sort would
work better than arbitration in the
settlement of the labor question.

THE STATES POLITICAL OUTLOOK.

A local preacher said recently that
persecution is the remedy of weak
minds when they have been defeat
ed" The preacher was not talking
politics, but it seems to. US that his
remark can find fair application
along political lines in the present
state campaign. There has been
some attempt at petty persecution
on the part of three or four newspa
pers who were prejudiced against
the head of the republican state tick
ct from the start, and who, de-
feated in convention, since the nomi-
nation have kept their pop-guns
going, in the hope of aiding our po-
liticai friends, the enemy, in cutting
down the majority.
If one can Judge anything from the
number and makeup of the republi-
can rallies held throughout the state
within the past two or three weeks,
the petty persecution above referred
to, which in the main has been unjust
and uncalled for, has failed of its pur-
pose. A number Of able speakers
have been heard, great deal of en-
thusiasm has developed in the repub-
lican ranks, and we believe that on
Tuesday next, when the voters go to
the polls to record their preferences,
the majority for Fuller and Strana-
han will be one of which the state
need not be ashamed.
1t is the bounden duty of every re-
publican in Vermont to see that his
sharein this matter is cheerfullv and
completely done, and thatno poorly
~ founded personal feeling on his
part is allowed to interfere with the
end in view-namely, the greatest
success of that party in this state.
There is not the slightest doubt about
Col. Fuller's being the next governor
OF Vermont, if his life is spared until
after election day; and there is not
the slightest doubt either that he
will administer the affairs of the
state in business-like and credita-
BILE manner
But the fact that Vermont is so
surely republican should not lead re-
publicans, either this year or any
other year, into a state of indiffer-
ence. We believe that the party
strength should be fully brought out
at every election, and town commit
tees and everybody else who is inter
ested should see that this is done on
Tuesday next.
The election of Fuller and Strana-
han is not the only duty that Yer
mont republicans will have to attend
to on that day. They areexpected to
make an impression that will tell for
the national ticket all over the coun-
try in November next. The larger
the figures of the majority, the great
er and more inspiring will be the i'm
preston created.

THE CANADIAN DILEMMA.

The platform on which Mr.. Macdonald
presents himself as a candidate to repre-.
sent Toronto in the Ontario Legislature
will evoke a vote on the question of
Canada's annexation to this country His
address contains some forcible truths as to
Canada's present commercial condition,
and some powerful arguments on behalf
of annexation. Thoughtful Canadians are
acknowledging the necessity of political
union with this country in increasing num-
bers. There cannot be doubt as to the
gain which such movement would bring
to Canada. If the Dominion can once
make up its mind to ask for union with us,
England would be powerless to resist it
In fact, England would have very little to
lose commercially, and would politically
gain by the amputation.
The only obstacle in the way of the Ca
nadians, once they have made up their own
minds on the matter, would be offered by
partisan politicians here fearing the un-
known quantity which would tend
to upset the balance of party
organizations. That their objection
would be serious can be judged
from the manner in which is decided the
admission of Territories to Statehood.
There is little chance for Canada's union
with us until our people assert their rights
and refuse to be governed for the benefit Of
machine politicians.

ings the towns where disaffection has long
honeycombed society would become revo-
lutionary centers, and If the outbreak
should come the army, which is the sole
reliance Of the present regime, might be
found to be as much undermined as the
educational institutions and the profess
SionS
; It is hardly possible that such an up
rising could prevail in Russia without
excesses rivallng in horror those of the
French Revolution. Butif itsucceeded, its
final results, after the people had learned
how to use their freedom, would prove,
like the French Revolution, to be q great
advance. The present calamity is used by
Stepniak as forcible indication Of the
benefits which could be obtained under
free political system which would give the
people access to the knowledge needed for
better agriculture; the power of associa-
ton, which would enable them to carry
into practice this knowledge; and the
public control, which would secure the
proper employment, Of the vast funds
which free government would doubtless
subtract from military expenditure and
put into productive hands.

LOCAL p. r. r. IMPROVEMENTS.

A published interview with Pennsyl;
vania Railroad official states that the old
transfer station at Twenty-sixth street,
about which some talk was heard awhile
ago as a sort of concentrated produce
warehouse, will be used as local freight
station. The intention is stated to be to
use it for freight for the upper part of the
city, while that consigned to or received
from downtown shippers will be handled
at the foot of Liberty street.
This ought to furnish some relief to
Liberty street from the running of freight
. trains on it. 1t is not all that might be
wished for that street, which If relieved of
the tracks would by location and width
naturally become the Broadway of Pitts
burg. But half loaf is better than no
bread; and the news that large share of
the railroad freight now hauled over that
street will be handled at the upper depot
will be accepted as decided improve
ment.
It is to be regretted that with this news
definite information is not forthcoming
concerning that g-hoped-for passenger
station at Seventh avenue. As to that
much-desired benefit, it seems that Pitts
burg must possess its soul in patience for
awhile longer.

THE DAMAGE QUESTION.
Some Very Interesting Figures on the Fur
Seal Business.

Some Very Interesting Figures on the Fur
Seal Business.
New York Tribune.l
WASHINGTON, March 29-Oficials who are
informed on the subject estimate the seal
catch Of the Canadian poachers in Bering
Sea last season at $4,000 skins. This is
exclusive of the number Of seals killed and
not captured and the pups who starved to
death on the islands because of the slaughter
OF their mothers at sea. The catch during
1890 was slightly less than in 1891 and in 1899
was less than in 1890. The fact that the catch
IN 1891. when sealing in Bering Sea was
wholly prohibited. was larger than in 1890,
when it was only partially restricted, Is ex-
planned by the fact that there we're many
more vessels engaged in sealing in 1891 than
in the preceding year.
These figures are interesting as tending to
indicate the amount of damages the United
States would be required to pay in case this
Government agrees to LORD Salisbury's
proposition for q modus vivendi. with an
Indemnity liza oil1ty in the future contingency
that the arbitrators decide against the
United States on the question of its jurisdic-
tional rights in Bering Sea.
On the other hand, if Lord Salisbury's
proposition is adopted and the arbitratOrs
decide against the contention of Great
Britain, that Goverement will be liable for
the claims of the North American CONNER
cial Company against the United States for
non-performance of contract, etc. By this
contract the catch was limited to go, 900 skins
the first year and 100000 each subsequent
year.: Under the terms Of the modus vivendf
the company was restricted to 1900 skins.

The records show that Smith was divorced
In the District Court here in January, 1888,
but no record of his marriage could be found.
The suit for divorce had been fled and the
divorce granted on the same day.
There was fraternal order here In the 70's
was formed to aid unmarried people to save
money, which was paid back to them on
their wedding day. Shares were SO each,
and members were limited to three shares
entitled to draw, for each share held, 50 cents
q day from the time the share was purchased.
The money was raised by assessments levied
on the members.
Smith had three shares, purchased in 1880.
He kept his dues paid up, as he hoped to
draw large sum when he took the last step.
He was engaged to a young lady at Garden
City, but she went back on him at the crit
ical time, and he came to Topeka. Shortly
afterward he learned that the associat tion, OF
which he was a member, was about to go
under, and he was in danger of losing his
money. The only way to save it was to
marry, so he hunted up woman who agreed
to share the bounty and they were married.
he gave her $lC0 to get the divorce, and paid
the costs.
The whole proceeding of fling tie petition
and getting the divorce was attended to in q
few hours. He drew over 81, 200 from the as
sociation, and after all his marriage ex-
penses had 81 900 left.
