there were over 100 new cases Of cholera In
Lisbon for each day OF last week, and that
the ratio Of mortality was high. We can
not say that there has been any improve

Fortunately for us. we get very few Inn

Talk to the Real ob.tructloni.ts I

There may be misststement, but there
cannot possibly be mistake, as TO who are
the real opponents Of the passage Of a
tafifT bill by the Democratic party in Con-
gress. The Hon. DANIEL W. VOORHEES,
the ADMINISTRATORS agent for bringing the
bill before the Senate, appears TO be willing
10 compromise on any duty In the whole
list Of importations. They may all go up
or down. on or OF. but there must be an in
come tax. The Democratic pledge Of q
tariff for revenue only. can be used to sweep
the floor OF the Senate, but the Populist
plank Of the income tax. says this dlstin-
guished old Democratic statesman. must be
held high and safe.
The stumbling blocks In the way Of tariff
reform. or OF tariff alteration. or Of what
ever 1t may be called are the alleged Demo-
cratic Senators who have nailed the Popu-
list jolly roger to the Democratic mast.
Let the ADMINISTRATION. which Is respon-
sible for the performance OF Democratic
promises. turn its attention to the Popu-
lists in the United States Senate.

fruits Of the last Russian-Turklsh war.
AZ regards Russia and Germany, how
ever, there are special reasons why mar
rage between the Cars eldest con and the
cousin Of the German Kaiser should tend TO
form a tie Of sympathy and friendship be
tween the st. Petersburg and Berlin Gov
ernments. Since the time OF PETER the
Great. the ranks Of the Russian aristocracy
and bureaucracy have received large
Teutonic infusion. and there has been
strong German party at the court and In
the army. Moreover, the Russian dynasty.

call the house OF RoMANoFF. has In truth,

It ls practically all OF one kind. Had new
element been introduced into the RoMASoFF
family; had the Czarewitch been permitted
to marry French princess OF the ORLEANS
line, or one OF the Spanish BoURBoNs. 1t Is
evident that the French party in court and
military circles at st. Petersburg would
have been materially encouraged, and would
reasonably have looked forward to the ex-
ercise OF increased influence as time went
on. Even a German princess Of family

HoHESzoLLERNs. and which presumably de-
sired reparation. would have been compare
lively welcome to those Russian statesmen
and Generals. who. during tho last year.
have striven to bring their country into an
intimate political and military connection
with France. To them the betrothal OF the
Czarewitch to the cousin OF the German
Kaiser may well seem like a death-blow to
their hopes. for 1t rehabilitates the German
party at st. Petersburg even during the
lifetime OF the Gar. and seems to assure
to 1t preponderance In the next reign.
We assume. OF course. that the Berlin
Government. after being at so much pains
to reestablish the former cordial under
standing between the Russian and Prussian
sovereigns. will not undo it all by thwart-
ing. or encouraging England and Austria to
thwart. the Cars interests in Asia and
southeastern Europe. 1t would be for the
profit OF German manufacturers that
Russia. rather than England. should rule
over India: and we have BIsafARcK's word

The Genuine Coxey Army.

The three hundred poor devils whom Mr..
J. SLEcHER CoxEy is now exhibiting to the
Washington public for gate money taken
in the form OF contributions. are ridiculous
and dirty enough. and the washingtonians
are inclined to laugh at their own fears.
Is this the great army Of 100000 that the
great CoxEY was to lead until the Capitol
trembed beneath its clamorp Why. CoxEY's
army is only a fake Of the lowest degree.
But the real CoxEY's army. the real danger
10 the public security, the real beginner Of
sinister innovations in the laws Is not en-
camped in Brightwood Park or parading
the streets Of Washington. The genuine
CoxEY's army is composed Of those men in
the Congress who wish to enact proscrip-
tive law against the rich, erect a system OF
classes and class taxation. and proclaim
the commune upon the statute books.
About this genuine CoxEY's army. the in
come-tax Coxeyites. there Is nothing ridic-
ulous. 1t is a real and an appalling danger
Until 1t is beaten. the red flag will continue
to float over the Capitol.

In New York Next November.

In the election OF November last the
Republican party OF New York came as
near making q clean sweep OF the State
rs a political organization could. without
accomplishing It. They secured all the
elective State Offices. both branches OF
the Legislature, a majority in the Constl-
tutional Convention. and political control
OF several municipalities heretofore Demo-
cratic. However. In their accidental vic
tory, due to causes for which the Democ-
racy was In no wise responsible. the Office
OF Governor was not included; and thereby
the Democracy. in the person OF ROSWELL
p. FLOWER. a veritablo representative. has
stood like bulwark against Republican
politics and encroachments. AS result OF
his course. the threatened destruction OF
the splendid work OF previous Democratic
administrations had 10 be postponed. and
tho Republican triumph fell that much short
OF being a political revolution.
A Governor is to be elected in New York
this year. and the Republicans. hopeful OF
clinching and completing their triumph Of
q year ago. are casting about for strong
candidate. A victory would mean much to
them: q defeat would mean much to the
Democracy. The importance OF New York
to the Democracy can hardly be overesti-
mated. for It is the rallying point Of the
party's hopes In the North. and has been
such ever since the Republicans first came
into power in Washington. The fires OF
Democracy. quenched elsewhere. have
never been permitted to 60 out In New York.
They have continued to burn brightly. as an
inspiration of encouragement to the party
elsewhere. The defeat of the Democracy In
New York. II accomplished next November.
might mean the utter Generalization OF
the party throughout the country. the
breaking down Of the last vestige Of sup
port OF Democratic principles In the North.
and a clear field for the Republicans.
OF the Democracyin Washington the New
York Democrats desire neither injustice
nor favor. They merely ask. before all other
considerations. not to be hamstrung In their
contest. They ask not to be called upon
tostamp on principles whichit has beeftheir
lifelong pride and glory to defend. Upon
the income-tax issue lately precipitated
between Democracy and Populism. the
State Of New York Is represented with In
contestable precision and faithfulness by
