It may be all very well for the enlored,voter to divide in the So.th when it is to bis interest todo se, but, in the North it is to bis inter- est to vote for the republicep par ty when it is a fact that his vote will keep the republican patty in power and as every seusible begro in this counuy knows that bis salvation in the repablicau patty. Allthat the colored man has received to day, has beev, if not directly, it bas been indirectly through the republican party. President Harrison has been tair just towards the. colored Awerican citizen. He done everything in Lis power to protect zen. f . is and bas the colored cit Some colored men may have au idea that the democratic party will do better towards them thau the republican party, but, the BEE - is of the opinion that Cleveland’s ij last administration demonstrated this to be false The Negroes who have been living of wheat bread and rock fish, ice cream aud cake will retire to their former dishes, smok- ed herring and coru bread, sour milk and black ginger cake. Instead of living in palaces, some of you do now, huts aad hovels will be too good tur you.

The New York Board of Health, on Thursday, the 15th inst., made a report announcing the occurrence of four deaths .rom Asiatic cholerain that city. Other tases and deaths have since appeared. The cholera has also caused deaths at Northfield, Minn., and Empire, Nev. In the latter case, it is believed the case was ied in the baggage that came over with some imported French horses. The cases in New York are declared by the fealth physicians to be sporadic, and the statement is given out that thereis no fear of an epidemic. An investigation shows, however, that in the case of the ild Levinger, the disease was con- cted from four young servant girls, who zame on the steamer Friesland from Ant- werp August 29th. The steamer was quarantined, and the passengers placed pn Ellis Island for three days, The dis- ease germs were evidently carried in the clothing of these girls. Antwerp is one of the infected ports of Europe. The health department is pursuing the same policy in regard to the cholera as was done when typhus fever was prevalent recently. The idea is to overwhelm and stamp out the disease in each house. It is d that, since the cholera epi- lemic of ago, New York has ex- pended #1 00,000 in improving its sanitary condition, and an extensive cholera outbreak is regarded as impos- sible. But one case of cholera has been offi- cially recognized since the first announce- ment of the disease, that of Mary Con- n Irish servant girl, who was ‘k at 692 Second avenue and re- moved to the floating hospital. The Board of Health is convinced that the cholera broke threugh the quarantine and probably came in baggage or cloth- ug on vessels that had no cholera on ooard, The servant girls were quarantined in 1ospitals, and all houses are quarantined where the disease has occurred. Late reports place the number of cases n New York definitely at eight, one of vhich is doubtful. No new cases have oroken out, aud the Board of Health, while convinced that there may be a few sporadic both in the city and at other point: satisfied that no general utbreak is to befeared. The quarantine ias been ruade more stringent, and, as all pest ships that have left Europe are n quarantine, and no others are to be allowed to come, it is believed the dan- er of a cholera outbreak in this country practically over. Columbus Statue Corner Stone. The Stars and Stripes and the flag of fork Friday last in honor of he laying of the corner-stone of the vedestal that is to support the monu- nent to Columbus to be erected by the jan societies of that city, The emonies were preceded by a parade of 5,000 members of ninety-five societies, ind followed by a fete champetre at the “mpire City Colissum which lasted far utothe night.

Wahle, Jr., Dr. Raffaelle Asselta, Carlo Barsetti and Dr. Luigi Ro- ersi; Archbishop Corrigan blessed the statue, and Bishop Potter pronounced he benediction, Altogether the affair Was @ success, Mr. Cleveland's Letter of Aceptance. A well known New York Democrat who was at Gray Gables, Mass., last veek, says that Mr. Cleveland has not vritten a line of his letter of accept- He bas thought it all out, how- isitor that it would » short, less than 2,000 words in length, ind would discuss tariff reform as the sreat issue oefore the country, just as it 5. Now that the deed bas been done, thoughtiul Republicans who would advance our electo- rial ticket and desire the flowing disintegration now going on in the Democratic party to proceed, and would wisb for an opportu- nity to get rid off the Anderson~ McCormick Force bill, should see to it that delegations are sent to the burkeville convention who will simy.y declare that the Res publican party of the Fourth Congressional District forbeara to nominate a Republican candidate for Congress, since there has uot been, and cannot be, any free ex~ cise of the frauchise or honest e~ lection in this district and State under the guidance of the Ander- son-McCormick Force bill.

The Yokouama papers which arrived at San Francisco contain a startling story from Japan. A young man in Bunge Province slew his wife in order to secure ver liver with which to cure his mother's failing eyesight. Some quack told him » try chicken liver for his mother’s lindness, and when this failed sug- cested that he get a human liver, and teclared the mother must eat it raw, He ietermined to sacrifice his child and told is wife the baby mustdie. She refused to permit the sacrifice, but offered her- self instead, and helped him to strangle herself, Then the husband cut out hes liver, but before he could use it his crime was discovered and he was arrested.
