The Treasury and the country
have been losing gold for more than
a year past, under a fiscal policy
which the Republican party adopt
ed and maintained, and yet because
the outward flow continued after
the Democratic party assumed con-
troll Of the Government, the organs
of Republicanism cody assert that
the policy of the Democratic party
is not trusted by Europeans who
have invested in American stocks,
and "they are selling out in order
to protect themselves" This bat
tered old campaign bugaboo Of the
foreigner" has been retired by the
people, who can neither be fright
ened nor fooled, and the Republi-
cans must resort to some other sub
terfuge in the next campaign.

MUCH crookedness has been I'M
covered any many business firms
and financial institutions have been
brought to grief by the stringency
of the money market. 1t is true
that the closing Of a number Of the
banks has been due in measure to
having most of their resources tied
up in loans and other investments
which could not be converted into
cash, but the weaker ones have sue
cumbed because Of their general in
efficiency, and there is a feeling that
the business situation is improved
on that account. From a Treasury
standpoint, the financial condition
Of the country showed general i'm
provement last week, commercial
and bank failures are fewer, gold
shipments have ceased, at least for
the present, Europe is buying our
grain in large quantities, confidence
is being restored, and money is not
SO tight. Those financial institu-
tions and business firms that have
passed through so far unscathed are
stronger for having weathered the
financial storm.

UNTIL a Democratic administra-
ton began clearing away the hocus-
pocus of Republican figure juggling
we did not know exactly how badly
off the Treasury was, but enough is
now known to enforce the need of
strict economy in every department
of the Government. The Demo-
cratic party is pledged to do this,
and what a prudent business man
would do in similar circumstances
the Government ought to do.

The Propagation of Cholera.

.Dr. NJ. C. Furnell, who has had great e.
periente as surgeon general of MsIras, is
firmly Of opinion that the general method
of the propagation of cholera in India is by
means Of specifically polluted water, and
he has bad no difficulty in finding masses
of facts in support of his opinions. The e
periences of Calcutta, as observed by DR..
W. j. Simpson, the health officer of that
city, 20 to show that those persons who
have az abundant and pure water supply
namely, the European and better class of
natives escape cholera epidemics, except
In isolated instances which can generally be
account ed for, while the natives, who
necessarily depend IN tank water, suffer
severely when the tank becomes polluted
by the excreta of a cholera patient.
1t must be remembered that the natives
battle and wash their utensils and clothes
In the tank because it is the only available
place for doing so, and that they use the
of the tank, contaminated as it is in
addition by soakage and sewage. for cook
ing and drinking, because it is the only
available water supply for domestic pur-
poses. Dr. Simpson raises a very earnest
cry against the scarcity of pure water. The
drst requisite for Howrah and the suburbs
Of Calcutta is a liberal water supply, while
Calcutta itself needs an Increased supply.
