 Material War Against Cholera.

Material War Against Cholera.
 From the Philadelphia Recordl
 The keenest interest was manifested by the Prostestant Episcopal convention of Pennsylvania, at St. Luke's church, yes terdsy, in the radical address of Bishop Whitaker as to churchman's imperative obligations In view of the threatened cpl demic of cholera the coming summer. The bishop said:
 "The possible manifestation of cholera in the United States is now a source of anxiety from which no one can be wholly free. The danger is no doubt in- creased by the relaxation of the stringency of the quarantine regulations which had been established, and in our own city by the peculiarly favorable conditions existing for its rapid development should 1t once appear. Having these facts in mind, I set forth 8 few weeks since @ prayer to be used in our churches, in which, after referring to the instructions which God gave to the chosen people in the wilderness for pre- serving health and preventing contagion, there follows this petition: Give us wis dom to do all that in us lieth to avoid this
 
 do and are we doing iii The cholera is a dirt disease. It Is born of foulness- It thrives in filth.
 "Ws cannot at once produce any change in our water supply. But we can make every foot of ground over which we have control clean. We can free the houses In which We live from the intrusion of ncx- ious gases by means of perfect plumbing We can insist upon the enforcement of the nity nrdinsnnA. rsspantina cleanliness SO far as the houses which we own or in which we live are concerned. "But there Is larger part of the city the owners and residents of which are either too ignorant or too poor to care for, and these districts are the seat of danger. There ought to be instructions given to those who are ignorant Of sanitary condi- tons.
 "The infuence of 6 strong public opinion | should be brought 10 bear upon the execu- tive of our oity government for the rigid enforcement of the laws. We should in- sist that streets w1ere our poorest people live shan be kept as clean as Chestnut and Broad.
 'I submit to you. my brethren of the clergy, whether you will nave done all that in you lieth to avert so great a plsgue un- til you shall have brought this subject be fore your people and pointed out to them their duty, and encouraged them by your example to do it I recommend that In every church 8 sermon be preached next Sunday or the s ndsy following upon this general subject, with such local spph- cation ss the preacher may deem sdvisa- hle

But such clippers have no heels, and the modern woman couldn't keep her balance without them With all the outcry against the disadvantages of present etyles we have much to be grateful for. At least we have not the hustle, and there seems no chance of 1t. Besides we have not those murderous reeds in the back of our gowns to make us think our selves on a gridiron every time we sit down.

The rice crop of the United States Is now practically in sight, and the follow ing estimates are given out: Louisiana will fractionally sxoeed 7,500, 600 bushels; Carolina, inclusive of the Carolinas and Georgia, 2,00O, 900 bushsla; scattering in other states, 250, 900; total, s,75o, 900 bushels, rough equal say, to 255, ,0Oo, 900 pounds of cleaned or edible rice, of which 130, ,000, 900 pounds have been marketed. The crop is 60 per cent. greater than any previous one, and over two and half times an average rice crop before the war.
 There has been a steady decrease since the beginning of the present decade in at, tendance at the twenty-one universities of Germany. This Is due to two causes-a supsrahundance of highly educated men

THE NORDHoFF ELECTION.
 A novel election took place in Nordhoh, California, the other day, when the people over IS years old voted for the candidate of their choice for postmaster. Two boards of election were appointed, one of men and the other of women. Attention was called to the election through the press and all voters were urged to express an unbiased opinion. There were no public nominations, and every voter had to write the name of the candidate of his choice on a blank sheet of paper in order to make a ballot. The election returns were care fully counted, the tally sheets taken before notary public, their correctness sworn to, and these tally sheets mailed to the postmaster general, President Cleveland and members of congress from that State, and In this way the wishes of the people were placed before the admtnistration.
 The idea Is good one. We should like to see such an election in New Haven this fall, and we have no doubt what the result would be. The present experienced, efl- cient and popular postmaster would have an overwhelming majority.
