such eXpectant Democrat was disappointed.
Tariff REFORM" says Mr.. Cleveland, sis
still our purpose" But he Immediately de-
clares that the party wages no extermi-
mating war against any American interest
This assurance is something. The appre-
hension is abroad that the party proposed
to wage an exterminating war against any
and all American interests that cannot COM
pete with like industries in cheap labor
countries. Mr.. Cleveland says The plea
that our infant Industries should be fOs-
tered did service until discredited by our
Stalwart growth" This is equivalent to
saying that the plea aid service until dis
credited by success. Fostering domestic in
dustres should be encouraged until success
has resulted and then fostering should be
abandoned. Mr. Cleveland is the first
public man 10 agree that policy should
be abandoned because it produces good re-
sul.s. Mr.. Cleveland has considerable to
say about Government aid to private enter
prises. Such policy would, he thinks.
rudeiy shock our people if they mad not
been allured from the safe landmark of
principle. jefferson was one Of the men
who thus allured them. jackson was an
other. Mr. Cleveland, in effect, holds up
these two eminent Democrats as cor
rupters of public morals. The talk
about fostering private industries is not
good crOssroad stump-speaking There are
no other industries to foster. What industry
Is the nation or State engaged in? Why,
the people in this State will not willingly
permit the Government to employ convicts
TO manufacture jute bags. The State has
been driven out of the boot and shoe busi-
ness and out Of the furniture business. The
work which is now done in the way of
manufacturing at either of our State peni-
tentiaries is done against protest. Tie Gov
eminent cannot encourage the manufacture
of woolen goods. cotton goods, iron and
steel or tin plate. without extending aid
directly or indirectly to private industries.
The conclusion Mr.. Cleveland arrives at
in respect to the protective policy is that
tariff for revenue only will afford all the
protection our people need. He does not
admit that foreigners pay any part OF this
taxation. When the English steel manu-
faetureT reduces expenses and foregOes profit
to get his product into the American mar
let, Mr.. Cleveland will not admit that a
part at least of the duty is paid by the
foreign manufacturer. He does not con-
tend exactly that protective tariff is un-
constitutional, but believes it unwise. The
fact that good results have come of it goes
for nothing in his estimation. He has made
up his mind that protection to American
labor is impolitie and injgdcous, aad. being
so, it does not matter whether or not it is
also unconstitutional

Is CHOLERA COMING FROM JAPASq

dispatch from Vancouver. B. c., states
that the steamer Empress Of India, which
sailed from a japanese port on September
10, and is due at Vancouver on Sunday next,
has a cholera case on board. The intelli-
gence is said to have been received by wire
from Yokohama, and was accompanied by a
statement that in consequence of the pres
eDce of cholera among the 300 passengers
Of the Empress the port authori at Yoko-
hama refused to allow the steamer to CON-
municate with the shore. All this sounds
strange. II any such step was taken at
Yokohama it is singular that we heard
nothing of it before through the regular
news channels. Still there is nothing i'm
possible in the story.
Cholera is epidemic in Japan. 1t often
prevails at certain seasons in the crowded
cities of Osaka, Kioto and Hiogo, where the
heat Of summer acting on plains which
have been irrigated for rice culture gener-
ates miasma. The o. and o. and Pacific
Mail steamers usually touch at Kobe and
the disease may be brought from that point.
Although the cholera has not heretofore
crossed the Pacific Ocean there is no good
reason why it should not. Ii is quite posi-
bic that If the Empress of India embarked a
cholera patient at Kobe and carried him
across the ocean in the company of 300
steer ge passengers. she may land the dis
ease at Vancouver and spread it from that
point all over the West.
The danger is sufficiently grave to Justify
the adoption of precautionary measures
At New York the quarantine authorities
seemingly have stamped out the plague by
a vigorous policy Of isolation. OF the
cholera patients who arrived in the lower
bay in various stages OF the disease, all
seem to have been disposed of. At all
events, with the frosts Of October the
With such an example before US. we ought
not 10 fall prey to panic if cholera cases
are reported from British Columbia. An
embargo on intercourse with the British
province would involve little inconvenience.
and 1t would be the most effeciual way of
dealing with the danger. Tacoma and
Seattle owe it 10 their people TO deprive
them for the time Of the society of their
Canadian neiehbors. 1t would not be a
very serious matter if railroad commun ca
ton with Vancouver were suspended for a
few weeks.
People have learned enough during the
recent excitement to preserve their self
possession If the disease should appear in
this country. Even among the people who
lay for days in the lower bay of New York,
| cooped up in ships containing patients
dying Of cholera, the mortality was COM
paratively small.

THE APPROACHING ELECTION

Our citizens ought to bear in mind that
every possible effort was made during the
last session Of the Legislature to defeat the
adoption Of the Australian ballot system Of
voting in this State, and when it was real
zed that this could not be done its oppo-
Eents tried to load the bill down with such
provisions as would render it, in the event
Of its becoming law, Of as little use to the
public as possible. The men who have con-
trolled the most of the municipal Offices for
years past. farming some of them out for
percentage OF the salaries received By the
occupants, are as busy as ever in trying TO
defeat the present efforts for reform. Il

SAN FRANCISCO AND CHICO.

Dir. a. A. Hbbard contributes to the
Chico ChToRicle-Rec0rd a paper showing
how water communication between Chico
and San Francisco may be maintained at
cost which will enable Chico TO supply
large surrounding territory. The writer
submits three advantages TO result from
this enterprise as follows:
First-The advantages Of water communlca.
tiOn viii be 10 make Chico a common terminal
point for overland freight, with rates the same
as Sacramento and San Francisco.
Second-Redueing the rate Of freight trans
portauon from San Francisco TO Chico one half
VIII give merchants an advantage over points
without water transportation enabling them TO
sell goods cheap enough to draw trade from a
scope OF country twice the size Of that now sup
Piled by Chico.
Third-Goods shipped to all points in this
vicinity Will be sent Via Chico, thereby Indirectly
increasing the business and trafic OF the town.
To secure these advantages the writer
says that it will be necessary for the citizens
OF Chico to own and run their own boat.
He enters into detailed estimate of cost Of
building boat and running it, which shows
that goods could be landed at Chico Land
ing from San Francisco at g 06 per ton
The Chico enterprise seems entirely feasi-
bic. The natural trade area of any point is
the territory which it can supply at less cost
than any competing distributing point.
The law Of trade which applies to San
Francisco applies also to Chico. When San
Francisco gets merchandise by the water
route, as it soon will, and establishes means
Of communication with interior cities, it
will through its natural advantage as sea-
port be able to supply interior merchants
for hundreds of miles in each direction at
lower rates than any other distributing
point can afford. Such lines as that pro-
pesed to Chico will be movement in the
right direction. Both the seaport and the
interior point want water transportation
wherever it is practicable.

Southern Idaho and have returned 10 Spo-
