THE ALARMING mortality from
cholera in Manila and vicinity and the
great fatality among Americans in that
tropical country has caused many to call
to mind the fact that the plague has
more than once followed in the wake Of
those who have causelessly made con-
quests of other nations. 1t is said, for
instance, that cholera was unknown UNI
til the crusaders invaded Palestine and
that still more loathsome plague was
introduced into Europe by licentious
white men who first visited America and
gave loose reins to their polluted ma
lures. 1t may be that history will re-
produce itself in the case of the Ameri-
can invasion of the Philippine archi-
peiagO.

IL THE naval sham battles to come
off on the New England coast this week,
(planned, it is said, for the benefit Of
the summer resorts along that COAST an
attacking fleet under command of Capt.
Pillsbury is to try to reach the coast
without being discovered by the de-
Tending feet under Admiral Higginson.
Capt. Pillsbury should have been
coached by Admiral Cevera, for it will
be remembered that the latter brought
his fleet from Spain and ran his vessels
into the harbor of Santiago de Cuba
without having ever been seen, though
the entire navy of the United States was
on the lookout for him.

high wind and rain. Some of this grain
was already cut, while some of it was still
uncut. The cut grain in many localities was
washed from the fields" The storm extended
from ROLAND, where a tornado blew down a
farmhouse, killing mother and two children.
Lightning set fire to hundreds of stacks of
grain and bay and a great amount Of live
stock was killed. In South Dakota hail pre-
vailed yesterday accompanied by a terrific
wind and about two inches Of rainfall. A
cloudburst in the southern part of the State

IL THE democratic primaries held in
the Second district yesterday Mr.. Harry
l.. MAYNARD was renOminated for Con
gress by a handsome majority. Mr..
Maynard has served in Congress but one
term, and his fidelity to duty entitled
him to a second term at least Since
he entered Congress he has ever been
on the lookout for the interest of h $
district and his people, and it is doubt
full if any other man could have accom-
plished more for them than did Mr..
Maynard. 1t is now the duty of the
democrats of the Second district to see
that he is elected by big majority.
