The Geneva Award Fund.

An effort is to be made to find parties to
whom to pay all or n portion of the large
balance in the Treasury to the credit of the
Geneva award fund, by a revival of the
Court of Commissioners on the Alabama
Claims. A bill for this purpose has been
introduced in the Senate by Stanley Mat
thews, which provides that the members of
the commission shall be selected by the
President and confirmed by the Senate, and
makes it their duty to receive and examine
all claims presented within six months from
their first meeting which shall have directly
resulted from damages lone on the high
seas by any Confederate cruisers during the
late rebellion, except such claims as were
provided for by the law of 1874. 1t Ger.
.ninly seems as though we owe it to Great
Britain that the most earnest efforts b.
made to have this money find its way into
the purses of those for whose benefit it WAS
Intended.

Printing! Office secrots.

A properly conducted printing Office is as
much a secret as a Masonic Lodge. The
printers are not under oath Of secrecy. bnt
always feel themselves as truly in honor
bound to keep Office secrets az though triple
oathed. Any employe in q printing office
who willingly d~isregards this fact in relation
to printing-oftice secrets would not only be
scorned by his brethren of the craft, but
would lose his position ut once. We make
this statement because it sometimes hap.
pens that a communication appears in a
newspaper under an assumed signature
which excites comment, and various partiea
try to find out who is the author. Let all
be saved the trouble Of questioning the EN-.
ployes of the printing-ofiice. They are
~know-nothings on such points as these. On
such matters they lave eyes and cars. mo-
month, and if any fail to observe this rule
let them be put down as ~dishonorable mem,
bcrs Of the craft 1t Is the same in lob
printing. If anything is to be printed and
kept secret, let proper notice be given of
the desire for secrecy, and you might as
well question the Sphynx as one OF the
printers, SO that ever the secret books for
are printed without fear.

Bakers Island, in the Pacific Ocean, 700
miles southwest from Honolulu, is in the
dry zone, and rain has never been known at
the Island until recently. The water for
drinking and other domestic uses has here
tofore been obtained by distilling the ocean
water. Lately, however, the ocean current
in that locality has reversed its direction,
and sets eastward, its former direction hav.
ing been to the westward, and heavy rains
have fallen there, in consequence of which
the Island is now severed with u vigorous
growth Of %shrubbery and vegetation. 1t is
conjectured that the change in the ocean
current which has been attended with rains
at Bakers Island may influence the me-
neurological conditions Of this portion of the
Pacific Coast. Contra Cali Costa Gazette.

The Death of Senator Morton.

Oliver Perry Morton, Senator of the
United States from Indiana, died at Indian,
apolis. He was only "a years old, but
though naturally of n very robust constitu-
ton, he had for many years suffered a par.
tial paralysis, which had disabled him from
walking and this disease, aggravated by
accidental causes, finally affected his whole
system and produced his death. He was
educated at the Miami University in Ohio,
was a lawyer by profession, and became n
Judge in Indiana in 1859. He was elected
iiontenant-G Governor of that State in 1860,
and became Governor in 1861. His first
term of service in the United States began
on March a, 1904, and in due time he was
elected 10 the same Office for n second
term, which lacked nearly two years of its
completion.

BUTLER AND YELLOW FEVER.
N. o. Democrat.


Batter, in his proclamation on his retire
ment from his proconsulsbip of this State,
among other go aally false and absurd ben
efits of his benefcent reign, asserted that
he had demonstrated that the pestilence
treferrirg to the yellow feveT) can be kept
from the borders of the State and city.
This preposterous assertion has recently
been revived in many Northern journals.
IL ia repeated by some ignorant and parti-
can residents of our city who, when asked
ss to the method employed to effect this
result, refer to the measures directed by
Butler for cleaning aud sweeping the
streets, opening bitches and drains that
by an utterly lawless exaction Of mil,
lion of dollars from the capitalists and
merchants of the city and the expenditure
of the same on thousands of laborers, to
the great enrichment Of his pets to whom
he gave the contracts, he made the city so
clean as to exclude the pestilence.
To demonstrate this assertion it would
be necessary to assume and prove that the
epidemic originated in the uncleanly con-
ditiOp, aud the lack of such drainage and
lustration, as Batler claims to have origi-
mated, and to Justify bis assertion that the
city was never so thoroughly cleaned and
drained as under his administration, aud
that its former visitations occurred when
it was in such condition of unclesnliDess
and incomplete drainage. These premises
are notoriously falae and in conflict with
past experience.
FirsGv-It is denied that the scavenger-
ing and draining done under Butler was as
thorough and effective as in previous years
when the yellow fever appeared and pre-
vailed with great violence, as in 1S53-54-55.
SeceRdly-The health stRtistics of the
two years previous to that in which Butler
held sway in this city, tO-wit, in 1860 6l ,
exhibited better sanitary condition than
those of 1862.
IhirdLy-ThRt the year 1862 was q pOr-
tion of the period of three and not unfre-
quently of fve and elk years. intermission
of the epidemieal visitation. The present
epidemic comes after an intermiEsion of
eleven years that of 1853 was preceded
by six yesrs of entire exemptioDj so of that
Of 1892.
FourthIy-Tbe epidemic of 1924, which
was a very destructive one, and which
occurred during q very rigorous quaran-
tine was followed by FIVE years Of exemp
tion, when, too, the quarantine had been
abolished.
During these years the city, or that
portion above Canal street, was one huge
quagmlre. DR.. Mcfarland, who was then
a prominent physician Of the city, thus de-
eeFibes its condition at that time:

abuse. Let us feel sure we are right, and then,
like Gen. Jackson, assume the responsibility.

despair Of the success of Mr.. Hales

that the country will not "rally'to

other is that business interests can
