Nothing but a fair trial of the new

state as to their justness. An eva
sion of the law by an appeal to the

constitutional points will reopen
the agitation of the lower rates
with more vehemence than ever.
The certainty of an approach of
cholera to the shores of the United
States this year is discussed in the
Engineering Magazine by Dr. D.
B. St. John Roosa, president of
the New York academy of medi
cine,—not with a view to creating
any alarm, but rather, by explain
ing the nature of this disease, to
allay any fears which may be felt
by the public. In his opinion the
combined knowledge of the medic
al and engineering professions
renders cholera less difficult to
control nowadays than the grip
and many other diseases.
There is no justice in the sys
tem that prevails at Washington
of withholding from deposed offi
cials knowledge of the charges un
der which they were removed.
Why should a man deemed worthy
of appoitnment to official responsi
bility be deprived of the privileges
allowed men in private employ?
If a republican office holder is re
moved simply to make way for a
democrat, why not let that fact be
announced and be done with it.
Such a course would be far prefer
able to that of branding a man as
dishonorable before his neighbors
without giving him an opportunity
to defend himself when attacked
from the ambush.
The misunderstanding between
Theodore Thomas and the world’s
fair Commissioners is exceedingly
unfortunate, to say the least. It
threatens to end in the retirement
of Mr. Thomas as musical director
of the Exposition, and that would
be very widely regretted. The
public will be slow to believe that
Mr. Thomas has been|influenced by
corrupt or mercenary motives. His
character and his record forbid
such a suspicion. It is posible for
him, in common with most other
artists, to cherish a decided pre
ference for certain instruments
without being subsidized by their
makers. The New York firms which
refused to exhibit their pianos at
Chicago for a trivial and imaginary
reason have caused a serious com
plication which will not be simplifi
ed by casting unjust reflections up
on Mr. Thomas.
