AMBITION OF A KIND.

A Bartender Jumps from brooklyn Bridge
and IL Probably Fatally Injured.
NEW York, July 5.-Edward Nc
Carthy, aged 81, bartender, jumped
from the Brooklyn bridge and sus-
tanned injuries which will probably re-
suit in death. Judging from his last
conversation before taking his leap, he
was anxious TO emulate the example of
Steve Brodie and share in the bridge
Jumpers notoriety.
When taken from the river his side
was black from foot TO shoulder where
he struck the water. His body resem-

had taken his fatal jump, Mccarthy
suffered terribly from hemorrhages at
the mouth for an hour after lie was

The Kind of Republicanism Needed.

Auo hlnu OF hepuDllCAnlbm Neeue0.
The basest and most ungrateful
political wretch is he who has re-
ceived the honors and emoluments Of a
political party and then because the
party sees proper TO divide its honors
and emoluments turns around and
tries to stab those who have befriended
him. This senseless howl throughout
the state about the "old crowd" and
young crowd" is simply the rantings
OF disappointed and designing politi-
clans. No such distinctions exist, and
these harpies know 1t. The "old
crowd" is simply clique Of half
dozen old barnacles, and as many youns
Upstairs, who imagine that the great
State OF Kansas would go TO demni-
ton bow-wows II by some fortunate
accident they should be called hence.
While the "yOunR crowd" is composed
OF the same half dozen egotistical up.
starts, aided by the same old fossils,
who have been feeding 80 long at the
public crib that they cannot make a
decent living by their own endeavors,
and as they are standing with their
heads thrown back and their mouths
wide open yelling the "old crowd"
many OF them are in the zenith of their
second childhood, and their legs are
totteriDg on the brink Of eternity. The
facts are that the 'old crowd" and the
young crowd" are practically identi-
cal, and are working the Republicans
for revenue only. They are the young
and the old Office seekers Of the party,
who hope by trying to keep up little
internal strife, the party may keep
them in office.
The proper thing for the Republican
party to do is to knock the "old crowd"
and the "young crowd" class Of politi.
clans in the head, and give no Office to
any man who will try to create strife in
the party. Let the party hunt men who
will command the respect Of the peo'
pie and let both the "old crowd" and
the "young crowd" go to thunder. The
fact is that the old Republicans are the
best Republicans, because they have
born the heat and the burden of the
battles for third of a century. The
young Republicans are earnest and will
get their proportion of the spoils. IL
they are true, and deserving as their
fathers have been before them.
Neither can succeed without the other.
Both can succeed without the barna-

LONDON. July 2s.-The Pail Mall

authority that is deserving of the high
est respect that the Franco-Siamese
difficulty has been settled. France has
agreed to accept Slams proposals, and
has abandoned her claims to the terri
tory lying between the eighteenth and
twenty-third parallels of latitude"
Sir Charles Dixie said in an inter
view he believed that the marquis of
Dufferin and NJ. Develle had reached
an agreement by which France would
abandon her claims to the upper Me-
kong. ''Of course he added, the sur
render will be CLOSED over by some
form of a compromise, but l cannot
imagine England's agreeing to any
thing else
The Picking correspondent of the
Standard says: whilst China is not
likely to attempt to enforce her suzerain
rights so long as the scene of conflict
shall be limited to the Menam and the
lower Mekong, l can state positively
on the highest authority that she is
fully determined to uphold her domin-
ion on the upper Mekong. If France
encroaches above latitude 81 degrees,
she will find China in her path

Lord Dufferin have agreed to compro-
mise on the frontier question The

the Disease Does Not Prevail Except In

NEW YORK. July %. DIR. A. W.
Wheeler, the United States marine
hospital surgeon, who was recently
sent abroad by the treasury depart
ment to examine into the sanitary con-
dition of the ports where emigrants are
embarking for this country. has sent
the following communication to DIR.
Senner, commissioner of emigration:
in reply to your letter asking my
opinion as to the probability of an epi-
demic of cholera appearing in the ports
whence emigration usually comes TO
us, have to state that the outlook l
consider to be most favorable at all ex-
cept Mediterranean ports. At Hamburg,
whence we get large number of peo-
pie. and which was, as you remember,
visited by cholera last year, there has
been no recurrence of the disease. which
it was greatly feared there would
be- The city authorities have done
and are still doing everything in their
power to prevent its introduction from
abroad and to suppress it should it ap-
pear At an enormous expense all the
water in the city now is filtered and
purified.
"As the weeks roll by the chances of
escaping the disease improves so far as
northern ports are concerned.
with regard to the Mediterranean
ports, it may be said that sporadic
cases of cholera appear in Marseilles
and Naples almost every year, and the
presence in those cities of few cases
does not by any means indicate that an
epidemic will follow.
''Since the last epidemic at Naples
the sanitary condition of the city has
been greatly improved; first by the in
PRODUCTION of water from a mountain
lake situated fifty miles in the interior.
An active municipality is also alive to
the dangers of the commerce of Naples
in the event of an epidemic of cholera
and will use every effort to suppress
the disease should It appear.
you will. therefore, see that | am
inclined to be very hopeful regarding
any serious outbreak of cholera in for
eign ports this season. and do not anti
cipate any marked dininution of immi-
grafton from that cause"
