THE MAYOR AND TIE SMALLPOX.

We have suggested time and again that
it is al Outrage upon the patience OF the
people of the city TO have a smallpox
hospital located within stones throw of
the High School building, and close to a
thickly populated portion of the city.
The Mayor takes this suggestion for a
text, and addresses the council thus:
The general government takes care Of
sick marines. The Sisters have a contract
with the government to nurse all sick
marines who land at Cairo. Ifa marine
landing here has the smallpox, it Is the
duty of the Sisters to nurse him, under
their contract with the government.
But If the Sisters do not do SO, the
county should. The county collects
taxes for taking care Of paupers, and
therefore takes care of destitute small
pox patients.
The city should not be asked to care.
for smallpox patients.
However II would be well if the gov
eminent represented by Mr.. Fisher, and
the county represented by Mr.. Fisher,
and the city represented by committee
should get together and talk the matter
! over.
We agree with the Mayor in his con.
illusions, and generally in his argument
But Mayor Wood does not seem 10
comprehend the situation.
1t is the duty of the Sisters to take care
of marines afflicted by smallpox, but
must the Council therefore permit the
Sisters to care for such marines within a
few feet Of the public schools: If the
Sisters were TO move their hospital next
door to the Mayors residence, he would
probably suggest that the Council should
enact an ordinance prohibiting the Sisters
from receiving any person afflicted with
II contagious disease into their hospital
What would be the result? The Sister
would provide a hospital for such pa
tients elsewhere.
We do not wish the Council to provid,
for the care of smallpox patients in
spirit Of charity, but to protect the peo'
pie Of Cairo from the dreadful disease
Every year il creates panic. People
with children are in dread for months
The business of the city is injured by thu
alarm it creates. II is therefore the duty
of the city authorities to prevent il posi-

Because the downfall Of the Opposition
party in this state would be in part "our
funeral" and because also the action of
the Opposition members Of the General
Assembly now in session at Springfield
will do much to build up or tear down
the party, We propose to venture at
this time upon II few words of advice to
the gentlemen who have In charge the
interests Of the Coalition" OF the Dem
ocrats and Independent Reformers.
We will not suggest what should be done.
We will be satisfied with the attention of
the leaders of the House and Senate while
we whisper into their ears Don't"
We may be mistaken, but we are in
clined to believe, that the conspiracy Of
the Troublesome Triumvirate-the cour-
teous Cullom, the oratorical Connolly
and the blatant Jones-to anger Speaker
Haines has been successful, and has not
contributed any great amount Of prestige
to the Opposition party. The Triumvi-
rate should not have attempted to take
advantage Of the prominent iniirmity OF
the Speaker. 1t should have been more
magnalIimous. But in these DAYS Of
grab ALL" when there is no chiyalry
visible. it is not surprising that c., c. &
j. had the audacity TO rise to points Of or
der. II is however surprising that Speaker
Haines permitted them to make him an
cry and unjust in his rulings. He should
not have done SO and, if he will permit,
We will advise him that when hereafter
he feels like becoming an
cry ut the Triumvirate, to-dont.
We may be mistaken, but are inclined
to believe, that Mr. Heron, who may be
backed by the Speaker, Is endeavoring to
make his acephelous-no-headed govern
ment-resolutions q political issue. lie
Is evidently attempting to induce the OPP
posiuon caucus TO endorse them. Don't.
We may be mistaken, but believe, that
an attempt Is being made to persuade the
Opposition party in the General Assem-.
bly, to emasculate the railroad law of the
State by amending out Of it the Third aud
Eighth sections. Don't.
| We may be mistaken, but believe. that
The Opposition party may be coaxed to
abolish the board OF Railroad and
Warehouse Commissioners. To do
30 would be TO weaken
the forces now pressing upon
the railroad monopolies OF the State
would compel us TO begin the battle over
again on new ground and at great di.ad.
vantage. The adjustment of the board
at this time would be a monopolist vic
tory. Don't,

Consumptives, Take Notice

Every moment of delay makes yolr cure
more hopeless, and much depends on the
judicious choice OF a remedy. The amount
of testimony in favor OF DR.. Schencks
PulmOnic Syrup, as acurefor consumption,
far exceeds all that can be brought TO sup
port the pretensions Of any other medicine.
See DR.. Schenck's Almanac, containing the
certificates otmany persons OF the highest
responsibility, who have been restored to
health, after being pronounced incurabls
by physicians of acknov lodged sbility
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured
many, as these evidences will show; but
cure is often promoted by tie employment
of two other remedies which DIR. Schenck
provides for the purpose. These additional
remedies are Schcnck's Sea Weed Tonic
and Mandrake Pills. BY the timely use o!
these medicines, according TO directions,
DIR. Schenck certihee that most any case OF
Consumption may be cured.

TnE Sun is wonderfully wise when
discussing political matters, ana rises
into originality when handling the ques-
lions that have grown ont OF affairs at the
South. Our neighbor would move
promptly to a solution of these ques-
tons. He advises the President to kick
out OF Office the Kellogg people, and
the members of the Louisiana legislature
elected last November, and order new
election. The President having concluded
that an election in State has been UNI
fairly conducted has the legal right to de-
clare null and void such election and or
der another election, and if its results do
not please him, has the right to set ii
aside also, and SO continue until he pro-
cures MI election that does please him
This is in effect the doctrine the $40, adj
vocates, and is obnoxious 10 every con-
sideration Of patriotism.

Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation |;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruf and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. BY its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts,, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality |;
and / consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"
