JUSTIFIABlE,

The prorogation of the general assem-
bly, by -Goxernor Brown, under the
powers conferred on him by the consti-
tuition, is an act made necessary by the
illegal course followed by the Demo-
cratic majority in the house of repre-
sentatives.
IT cannot be claimed that it is parti-
san act, nor will conservative citizens
view it in any other light than proper
and desirable method Of ending the par
tisan strife that has disgraced the good
|. name of the state. The Democrats who
have defied the law and carried things
with such high hand cannot with
truth assert that this action was hastily
taken any more than they will be able
to convince the people that they are not
responsible for hold over government.
They knew what the law was, they
were well aware that by pursuing rev.
olutionary methods they made it i'm
possible for the senate to join the house
in grand committee. The illegality Of
their action was pointed out, and had
they even then rescinded it and reor-
ganized in accordance with law a meet
ing of the grand comnittee- would GER
tainly have been held.
That the clearer minded and less
partisan among them believed this
should be done is plainly shown by the
discussion in the caucus yesterday, but
Colonel Honey succeeded in defeating
a proposition for the following of such
a course. That decision ended all pos
sibility of sitting of the grand com.
mittee and but one thing remained for
the governor to do--the adjournment of
the assembly.
1t is far from a satisfactory settlement
of the difficulty, but it at least upholds
the law and puts it beyond the power of
dangerous politicians to embroil the
commonwealth in a revolution.

LOOK OUT FOR 1T.

With the approach of summer also
come announcements that are ex-
pected, yet dreaded, of the breaking out
of cholera at various points in Europe.
Since the middle of May in the west
ern part of France there have been
forty cases. Official notification has
already been sent to this country from
Hamburg that the plague has again
shown itself in the city by the Ebe.
Asiatic Turkey also contributes its
dread news.
The danger this summer from gen.
eral and worldwide epidemic is stated
to be greater than that which threat
ened last year. During the winter and
spring the cholera germs have been
kept dormant, but with the hot days of
summer will be likely to become active.
The United States, owing to the inn
mense immigration from every part of
the world, is greatly exposed to the
dangers Of contagion.
The ocean flyers have annihilated
space and time and our communication
with Europe is as direct and rapid as
with our Western states. II therefore
is the duty of the government TO begin
early its precautions against this dis :
ease.
1t is a national matter, and President
Cleveland will probably be as alive 10
the emergency as was President Harri-
son. But beside the precautions
taken TO keep out the cholera 1t is also
necessary for the various states and the
big cities to do their share towards pre-.
yention.
Most Of our big cities are in very

THE BOARD OF TRADE.

The anniversary banquet Of the Board
of Trade last night was a notable event
in many respects.
1t brought to the minds of the pro-
gressive men of the city the fact that
the impulse to further the general good
of the business interests of the city by
combined effort is of quite recent
growth. The board is twenty-five years
old, but several of those years were
given up to the getting of firm organ
ization, and the fruitful period cannot
be reckoned as covering more than half,
perhaps, of the life of the board.
Since then, within the past decade,
there have sprung into existence several
other business organizations that have
for their objects concerted work for the
city's growth.
While the most clear-visioned and
progressive among the men of business
may chafe that the city does not more
readily take to the methods that have
built up great cities and hourishing
towns all over the West, 1t is evident
to those who take the trouble to con-
slider the history of the Board of Trade
that the leaven of the modern methods
is working powerfully in our midst.
The Board of Trade ought to feel that
its past justifies and demands an ag-
gressive future.

bad sanitary condition. In the various
s ates there are sections where cholera
would run riot were the disease once 10
get a foothold. The sanitary authors
ties should take these places in hand at
once. An ounce of prevention is worth
many tons of cure.
Very little danger is to be appre-
hended if these places are taken care OF
and ordinary precautions are observed
by our citizens. Still, the danger is
present, and it must not lightly be
brushed aside and ignored.
