New Jerseys Big Vote.

New Jersey joins the great Republican |
made before the election. For the second
time in it's history the electoral vote of the
State is given to the Republican Candi-
dates. Even Lincoln received only four
of the seven votes accredited to tbs State
in 1861, and four years later the whole
seven were thrown again into the Demo
cratic column for the benefit of Genera
Mcclellan. The first Republican to geC
New Jerseys's total electoral vote was
General U. s. Grant, and then only in his
campaign against Greeley.
But even in the palmiest days of Demo
cratic triumph in New Jersey the plu-
ralities on that side never ran much above
IA, 900 and few times so high as that. On
Tuesday the Republicans, with the aid of
thousands of patriotic Democrats, rolled
up plurality of not less than 1000 for
Mckinley and Hobart, re-elects eight
Republican Congressman seven of the
eight State Senators and 45 of the go

The Palmer and Buckner vote in the
State may reach total of 5000 or 5000
No such victory was ever won in New
Jersey by any party or on any issue. In
the tidal wave OF 1894 the Republican
plurality on Congressman reached 48,478.
The year following John W. Griggs was
! elected Governor by plurality of 26. 900.
and this was taken to mean that 1894 had
registered the high-water mark of Repub.
Elican success in State that usually gave
from 5000 to $4,000 Democratic plurality.
The tremendous plurality of Tuesday
is attributed to two causes: First, the
personal popularity of Garrett A. Hobart,
now Y ice-P resident-elect, and, secondly,
! theaid rendered by patriotic Democrats
who were anxious to preserve the Nations
EAonor and promote its prosperity rather
than join hands with the Populists who

Some Results of Scientific Investiga
ton.

b1Ous
BY SARAH HACKETT STEVENSON, NJ. D.
! The effects of the agitation of the rela-
ton of alcohol to disease are finding their
way into the most conservative ranks.
Such men as DR.. B. W. Richardson, of
London, and Dr..N. s. Davis, of Chicago,
have paid the penalty of their courage
and originality by being called temper
ance cranks," but the scientific world is
slowly and surely approaching their
standpoint.
1t is my purpose from time 60 time to
give the results of the Investigations that
are going on in various parts of the
civilized world, by way of encourage
ment for those who have labored SO long
in the cause Of Temperance.
Having been obliged to acknowledge
the harmfulness of alcoholic drinks their
friends have declared that the injurious
effects are due to the adulterstians. ever:
and over again this has been proven to be
mistake. Years gos(according to the
journal of the American Medical Asso-
citation, August /, 1896 the Massaehu-
sets Health Besfd examined this theory
of adulteration and abandoned it; the
worst adulterations they could find were
water and coloring matters. and yet the
idea has persisted, and the people are not
a few who firm that if only we could
have "pure" spirits the results of drink
ing would be harmless. Only this
summer the question came before the
London Royal Commission on Licensing
Laws. This government commission is
composed of eminent statesmen, physi-
clans and business men and they have
been taking testimony upon all phases of
the drink question.
DR.. Bannister, the deputy principal of
the government labora tory, testified that
in the examination CT thousands of
spirits the only adulteration was water.
The adulteration of spirits by any other
substance was practically unknown. One
of his most important statements is the
explosion of the idea that age makes
spirits harmless. ''The supposed matur-
ing of spirits by which the fusel oil is
driven off is untrue--that age makes
spirits more harmless is delusion-there
is no difference in the physiologic effects
of spirits made ten years ago and to-
day." The jourpsl states that physicians
who discuss the alcoholic problem and
believe in danger from adulterations will
have to abandon this delusion or make
some original analysis to prove their

The New York Journal, in commenting
on the result of the election, says: 'If
they have condemned the Democratic
proposal to remonetize silver, it is because
they have not been sure of it's expediency
and have been made doubtful of it's
morality. Further time is needed to con-
vince them that it is both expedient and
right. The duty of all good citizens now
IS to acquiesce loyalty and quickly in

RESPONSIBILITY FOR CHOLERA.
An Authority Lays the Blame for 1t to
India.

Washington, September 15.-Great
Britain's responsibility for the spread of
cholera from Its original breeding place,
the delta OF the Ganges, In India, is the
topic of a paper by DR.. James E. Love of
Philadelphia, written from Alexandria,
Egypt, and printed in the public health
reports for the current week, issued by
the Marine Hospital service. 1t calls at
tention to the faou that the operation of
the Suez Canal makes Egypt the high
way of travel to the Orient, and thus
Transmission of cholera to Europe and
America by means of the annual
pilgrimage to Mecca. The cholera plague
now raging in Egypt had its origin in
the pilgrimage OF last spring, and al
ready its victims number 16, 600.
In consideration OF the fact, says DR..
Love, that the current travel which
passes to many parts of Europe and
thence to the United States, centralizes
in Alexandria, your correspondent be-
lieves that the safeguard of these
countries lies in the absolute exclusion
OF cholera from Egypt, and suggests the
following provisions to that end:
The Mohammedan exodus from India
should be effectually stopped until it is
SHOWN tnau no pilgrim carries contagious
or infectious disease with him. When
pilgrims oongregate prior to the depart
ure for Mecca. rigid sanitary measures
should be enforced in order that no germ
laden devotes shall depart. Again, all
pilgrims should be detained to determine
whether any cholera exists among them.
The secondary points of departure from
Mecca should also be carefully guarded,
which might best be done at the entrance
of the Suez canal.
These recommendations shuold be i'm.
pressed upon the British government and
their officials in India. TO the end that
the Asiatio cholera, in the present day of
rapid transportation and large trans CON-
tinental travel, might not be permitted
to follow all who MAY pass through
India and have intercourse with those
who have resided there, as it did with
the recent arrival of body of British
troops from Bombay to Suakim in Egypt
where several cases of the dread disease
broke out, proving the fact that the
source of the evil is in India,
