Senator Allison. af Iowa. VINO has boon
particularly prominent .r tho matter ~
silver legislation announces that Do will
vote for the repeal ot the ~iIrer-purch
. clause Of the sherman act. The fact that
hc has been very friendly 20 silver rar o.
number of wears makes this announce
mcut Of great imporfluua. Ia letter
published in the leading republican paper
of his state. he saws. "l ann willing 10
vote to stop the purchase Of silver, leav-
ing other questions 20 be- settled later, on
mature consideration and comparison Of
views, as the whole subject must be dealt
with presently"
There can be no reasonable objection to
this position of Senator Allison What is
demanded now is the prompt repeal Of
tho purchase clause Of the sherman act.
When that demand is complied with con
grcss VIII be in position to give the
silver question the consideration its JIM
portance deserves. II will be a mistake
to undertake to settle the question while
the repeal Of the purchase act is pending,
because the time and thought necessary
for its permanent settlement would not

It is quite generally admitted that
something viii have to be done in respect
TO silver after the purchase of silver by
the government is stopped, but there is a
wide difference of opinion as to what
should be done One Of the suggestions
made by Senator Allison is that the ratio
be changed from IL to ! to - to !. and
that as the price Of silver bullion changes
the ratio be changed. In view of the fact
that the price of silver bullion fuctuates
greatly it is doubtful if this suggestion
is a wise one.
The belief is steadily gaining ground
that the purchase clause will be repealed
Senator Stewart. of Nevada, the leading
champion of the silver producers admit
ted as much day or two ago. He doesn't
intend to vote for its repeal unless such
concessions to silver as the silver produc-
ers demand are granted but he sees that
the drift of public sentiment is against
further purchases of silver by the govern
ment, and he recognizes the fact that
neither the House nor the Senate is likely
to hold out long against that sentiment.

Reports from different parts Of the
country of deaths from cholera may be
expected from now until cool weather
comes The existence of choI-
era in Europe makes people suspicious.
and sudden deaths from cholera m0rbus.
which are likely 10 occur at this season
ofthe year. are very apt 70 be mistaken
rrr genuine cholera. on Thursday it
was announced in the dispatches that
an Austrian immigrant who had just
arrived in this country, had died
at Chester, Pa. from cholera. In our
dispatches yesterday the truth about
the case was told. An onicer
of the Pennsylvania state board Of
health made thorough examination Of
the case. and found that the cause of the
mans death was an aggravated case of
cholera morbus. The man had been liv-
ing at Chester several months, instead of
having arrived recently.
Last year, when the cholera was at
the New York quarantine reports of
deaths from cholera in various parts of
the country were quite frequent, about
all Of which upon investigation, except
those sent out from New York city, were
found to have no foundation.
There is cholera in a number of places
in Europe 1t was announced in our dis
patches yesterday that the disease had
appeared at SaValIette and Aubenas,
France, and there does not seem TO be
any doubt about its presence at a number
Of places in Italy and Russia. It has not
assumed alarming proportions anywhere,
however and there seems to be ground
for hoping it will not.
in this country there are no special
reasons for anxiety. There has been no
cholera on vessels arriving at any of the
ports, and if there should be, prepara-
tions have been made for preventing it
from getting beyond the control Of the
quarantine and health authorities. There
is therefore no reason why the people of
this country should be disturbed by fear
of the cholera, but they should take such
precautions as would tend TO prevent its
spread if il should get into the country.
Municipal authorities should keep their
respective cities clean and provide the
people with pure water.

The VaIetta Verdict.

The verdict of the court martial at Va
letta, Malta, is both ordinary and extra
ordinary II was to be expected that
Capt Bourlle would be held blameless
for the Victoria disaster 1t was shown
that he had used the only means in his
power to induce his chief, Admiral Tryon.
to amend the order that caused the loss
of the ship. but without avail. Had he
done more, he might have made himself
liable 10 punishment for INSTRUMENTATION.
For these reasons his exoneration was
a foregone conclusion.
But it was hardly expected that the
court would say anything that might, in
future, be construed into a warrant for
the disobedience of the orders of supe-
riOr officer That, it would seem, is what
the courts regret that Rear Admiral
Markham, of the Camperdown, did not
carry out his original intention and ig-
more the signal of Admiral Tryon amounts
to-
The commandant of naval feet, under
existing rules, is an autocrat 1t is
not the right or privilege of his sub
ordinates TO question his commands,
nor do they dare disobey them. And,
very naturally so; otherwise how could
perfect discipline be maintained if
each sub-commander were free to exer-
else his own Judgment! 1t may be
doubted, however if the same degree of
unquestioning compliance with orders
will be accorded hereafter in the British
navy. The Valetta verdict may be in
terpreted by the sub-commanders as mean
ing that they may disregard the orders
of a chief if there is doubt in
their minds of the advisability of its cx-
ecution And if a subcommander should
be court martialed for disobedience of an
order, would he not have in the Valetta
verdict a strong defense, provided he
could show the wisdom of the order was
in the least questionable
The finding of the court of inquiry can
hardly help having a marked effect upon
the men in the British naval service. Is
it not possible that they will see in it a
warrant for them to become something
more than mere automatons3 If they
should the boosted efficiency of the
/ English navy would be in danger of being
impaired.

\ young doctor in New York, who holds
the theory, in defiance of accepted medi-
cal theories, that the bacillus of consump-
tion is not the cause of the disease, has
gone to work TO test the correctness of
his conclusions at the risk of his life a
day or two ago he caused himself to be in
oculated with the bacillus of consump-
tion produced by the culture of germs
derived from the human sputum or expcc-
toration. Within ten weeks, if the Young
doctor is wrong, the disease will have
fully developed in his system and he viii
be beyond the power of physical skill to
save. He has no fear, however, of the
outcome. tuberculosis patients, he says,
have fatal faint in the blood, without
which the bacillus is powerless. Inas-
much rs he has not that faint, he expects
to feel no marked i'll effects from the in
oculation.

CUTTING THEM OFF.
Changing the Employees of the Elec-
trio Road.

The employees of the San Francisco and
San Mateo Electric road are in a state of
uncertainty and uneasiness about the way
in which the officials OF the company are
welding the AK during the past fortnight.
Very few Of the old conductors or motor
men are now to be seen on the road, and
more dlsmissals are expected on the first of
the month. Ten more victims, it is said,
will be sacrificed at the end of the present
week.
The reason given for the wholesale dis
missals Is hat number of conductors
returns TO the office did not agree with
those of spoilers recently employed to
keep count of the number of passengers.
The motormen are also blam ed for acct
dents which have occurred lately. and
there is no telling when the changes will
stop.
The officers of the company claim that
careless employees have not observed the
rules In the matter of giving and exchang-
ing transfers, and tnat many patrons of
the road have received transfers from for
eign lines and again received their trans
fer to foreign roads.
In this manner the 2h cents the electric
road should secure as its share has been
entirely lost and passengers carried for
nothing ON the San Mateo line.
