Winter
Cholera.

The nev disease of the stomach and bowels
30 prevalent throughout New England has been
named by tho medical profession, Winter
Cholera. Its appearance while the Asiatic
Cholera is raging abroad, is regarded as sig
ntficant, presaging, as 1t does, an outbreak Of
the European scourge with the advent OF early
summer. Winter Cholera undermines tho
constitutions oil Grippe victims, plays havoc
with those who escaped that dread disease, and
payes the way for typhoid and other wasting
fevers Restrictive immigration bills and quar-
autine will avail nothing. Cholera germs are
being cultivated in thousands OF Winter
ChsIera victims throughout New England to-
day. The balmy days Of spring and the hot
days of carly summer will rouse the disease
germs to activity. In Winter Cholera con-
servative physicians see the Haunting OF the
danger signal. The warning has been sounded.
The alarm has been sent forth. Cholera, IN In

The suggestion that has been made In
several localities that postmasters, collec-
tors and other federal officers now appointed
by the President or secretaries OF the diff
ferent departments of the government
shall be chosen at primary elections bss
neither the charm Of novelty nor the sup
port of reason. In the first place the people
have all the elections they can very well at
tend to- In fact, except when the con-
tests are exciting ones a very large percent.
age of the voters do not go 20 the polls,
and the majority of those whose re-
main away are the ones who
are the most deeply interested in
/ having good officials. They are the prop
| erty holders and business men, and, there
fore, the taxpayers. Their absence from
| the polls is not due TO the fact that they are
/ not interested in the elections, but because
they are so occupied that they feel they can
no. spare the time 10 vote.
II there were elections to determine who
! should be appointed postmasters, district
attorneys. collectors Of ports, internal rev.
enus collectors and marshals good part of
the time Of the people in every community
would be taken up with political discussions
and elections And il there are reasons
why the postmasters should be chosen by
ballot there are just as good reasons why
every other official of the government, even
the judges, foreign ministers and consuls,
should be chosen in the same way. Indeed,
II the election idea were accepted for any
class of the Offices that are now sppointive
it would soon be extended TO all the other
classes, because those Of the candidates for
any office having the poorest chance of
being appointed would be certain to insist
upon an election.
Elections such as are suggested would be
expensive and cause a vast amount of
annoyance and trouble. There would be
charges of fraud, and the President or the
official in whom the power OF making the
appointment is lodged would be asked TO
hear the charges and decide whether or not
they possessed any foundation.
1t can be readily seen that in a great
country like this in which there are more
than 10000 postmAsrers and hundreds OF
other officials the President and the menu
bers of his cRbineu would have time
for nothing else, if it should be
understood that only those would be ap>
pointed to Office who secured the votes of a
majority of their fellow citizens at an cleo
ton.
And 1t is about certain that the best and
most desirable men would not get the Offices
under such conditions. Those who care less
about getting good officials than to help
their friends would be found IN the ma
jority at the elections, and it might be that
the purchasabls voters would be there also.
The chances are, therefore, that the Offices
would go to those who could drum UP the
most voters or who had the latest pocket
books.
There is not much probability that the
present system of selecting federal officials
will be changed. Nor is it probable that
the suggestions of those who favor a change
will make any impression upon the public
mind.

hy Not open the streeta?

The alG-rmen are now having impressed
upon ihem some Of tue mistakes made by
their predecessors. Streets which could
have been opened few years ago for few
hundred dollars would now cost the city
mora than as many thousands. Yet the
streets have to be opened, however great
the cost may be. The MORNING News re-
peatsdly called the attention OF the mayor
and aldermen to the trouble and cost Of
delay in this matter, but its warnings were
UNDECIDED, and now the taxpayers will have
to pay for the false economy Of few years
ego.
The MORNING News, despite its previ-
Gus failures to get the aldermen to act in
this matter, offers few suggestions, which,
It hopes will receive attention. There is
necessity for several street extensions
through and beyond what is called the ex-
, tended limits. A good street and road is
needed to the east and west of the line Of
Bull street, or the White Bluff road. These
streets should be opened for mile or two
beyond Estill avenue. The MORNING News
the city lay off the needed
streets and roads, and propose to
the owners Of property through which they
will pass that In consideration of the rights
of way it will put down water mains
| through the streets, and let it be understood
that first come, first served" will be the
rule. Such an inducement would soon
bring the property owners together and
rights OF way for streets would be
rendered the city free of cost. There is a
street which can be opened now TO Estill
avenue at little or no cost to the city,
namely, East Broad street. Nearly all,
and perhaps all, the owners of property are
ready and anxious to give the
right Of way. With the completion
OF the Meridian road through the
new park, East Broad street would be an
important thoroughrare. This street eau
be opened without any conditions as to
water mains. but in respect to Drayton
or Abercorn streets and Montgomery and
West Broad streets some inducements
would ha We to be offered.
In the matter of extending these streets

That Ada Rehan silver statue continues
to be a matter of doubt and perplexity. The
Montana statue of Justice to be exhibited
at the worlds fair is, of course, the thing
referred to. A week ago we were told that
only bust was to be made, after all the
discussion about measurements of imbs
etc. Them later, we we're told that the full
sized statue, 5 feet 10 inches high, had been
successfully cast: that It contained 1000
pounds of sterling silver and cost $4,000.
And now we are told by Mr.. r. H. Parks,
the architect, artist, sculptor, carpenter or
whatever else he may be called-the man
who made the clay model and molds-that
the cost was lot over S35, 600 Amid all Of
these conflicting statements the queries are
pertinent. Is there really statue or bust
of any kind? Is there an Ada Reliant Is

1t appears that reaction In the case Of
Senator Roach, of North Dakota, has set
in. Facts are now alleged to have come
out which. 80 far from sho wing him to have
been a defaulter, put him in the light of
making noble self-sscrifice. For fourteen
years, it is said, he has been standing as a
mark for some one else and bearing the
brunt OF newspaper arraignments for fault
of which he is entirely innocent. A st.
Paul dispatch says: This story has been
confirmed by Senator Frank Palmer, of
North Dakota, who said that Lieut. Mosier,
an officer in the regular army at Fort Tot
ten, had related to him the story OF Roach's
early life. Mosier and Roach were school,
mates, and the former knew all the oircum-
stances of the case. He said that Mr.. Roach
deliberately sacrificed himself and his
fortune to shield a relative, and that this
fact was well known by Roach's intimate
friends"
