New York was scourged by the yell
low fever in 1898, 1904, 1905, 1922 and
1924. Amboy, n. j., in 1911; Middle
ton, c., in 1919; Philadelphia. in 1898,
1928, l'oS, 1903 and 1920, 4 few cases
appeared in Boston IN 1919. Many
thousand persons died in these cities
during the various epidemics Of the fe-
Yer which prevailed. 1t is now thought
that the quarantine regulations of New
York are so perfect that it will be inn
possible for the fever to get into the
city.

EYpLANATyONS EANTED.

In the examination of Colonel W. L. Pelton
before the Morton Committee. in January, 1877
a report of which was printed III The TRIBUNE
of last Wednesday, occurred the following
questions and answers
Odd you get n dis patch from Columbia along about
the 4,h or 9TH OF DecembeTt Al do not remember
about that especially.
o-Do you remember getting dispatch from the
presidcnt or manager OF tho Charlotte. Columbia and

O-Was there dispatch shown 10 You, have you
any knowledge Of dispatch, IN which the question
asked ~ a man IN South Carolina whether he at
liberty to pay $4,000 for electoral vOtei Al do
not remember any such thing.
We know all about the $4,000 dispatch
now, since The TRIBUNE has printed 1t, and
we see how MIR. PeltOn could frame his eau
tious answer to Senator Morton. because the
proposal was not exactly "tO pay $50, ZOO for
Gan electoral vote" but TO "piacc 10000

little differently the reply might not have

had asked about dispatches 10 the President
of the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Rail
road, instead of dispatches from that gentleman,
Colonel PeltOn might have been embarrassed
The President of that railroad is Colonel John

THE DAATH or BAYARD TAYLOR.

The career of Bayard TAYLOR is one of the
most striking illustrations in recent American
history of the substantial reward which our re-
publican society offers to purely literary ambi-
ton. generation or two ago the man OF letters
was so rare character among us that his
very singularity was a claim to public distinc-
tion. But Mr.. Taylor made his celebrity
long after Dana, and Irving, and Prescott
and Byant, and a score of Others had taught
mankind to respect the taste and scholarship
of the new Western World, and he won his
highest hOnors in the very thick OF
the struggle for literary success which dis
tinguIshes these latter years OF the nineteenth
century. He owed nothing to the accident
of time or of fortune. The prizes
which enriched the close of his life were
| the wel-earned fruit of the hard end
perseyering labors Of more than thirty
Years. From the day when he set out,
poor and unknown, to make the tour
of Europe with knapsack and staff, until he
arrived only few months ago at one of
the greatest of the European courts.
bearing the highest diplomatic rank
1t is in the power OF the United States TO
confer, cheered by the farewell plaudits of his
eOuntrymen, and greeted with marked hOnOrs
by the people and princes of Germany, it
can be said that Bayard Taylor was the
maker of all his own good fortunes,
and that he made them by the
most conscientious and faithful of literary
work. He was simply and always man OF
letters.
This is not the place for critical estimate
of his writings, but there is one conspicuous
quality in them which shOne so brightly also
in his personal character that NO cannot
pass it over here in silence. That
quality is honesty. 1t is seen in the frank
simplicity of his style, the thorough
ness of his workmanship, the clear
ness of his Opinons, the fidelity with
which he held through life to his
chosen work, spariDg no pains to pro-
duee the very best of which he was
capable, however small the subject or
trivial the reward. Nobody could read
one of his books without feeling
the influence Of this virtue. Nobody
could know him without pcrceiying that
tins high literary merit was reflex
of an earnest and simple nature. II
there is a long remembrance for hon
est men, there is no less long life
for honest books. 1t is golden lesson for au-
thors aud journalists that in this instance
literary honesty and personal uprightness have
secured a brilliant success in life, and an en-
duriLg reputation.
There is little doubt that If Mr. Taylor had
| lived TO complete the Life of Goethe, for
which bis foreign appointment gave him the
| long facilities, he would have
crowned his career with greater work
than any in the long list of his books. 1t
was a task to which he brought manly en-
thusiasm and the accumulations of years
of study and industrious collecting. Schol-
ars will lament the uD0imely event which
| deprives American literature of what prom
ised TO be such an important acquisi-
| ton. The craftsmen of letters and
arts will mourn the loss of CON-
panlon endeared to them by thousand

The Southern Investigating Committee OF
the Senate has an unexpected chairman in Mr..
Teller, of Colorado, who is vOuched for rs n
man who will display great energy and
ability in the discharge of his duties.
This may be said to be the first time
that Mr.. Teller. who came to the Senate
without any previous official experience what
ever, has assumed prominent place, and he
has an opportunity now to make National
reputation by elicltiug the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth, in regard to the South
ern outrages. As the chairman OF the
committee he would naturally take charge
of the subcommittee that viii promptly
repair to the State most interested in this
matter-SOuth CarOina-thOugh no such an
nouncement is definitely m1de it Is already
settled that Mr.. Hoar will head the sub-com-
mittee to be sent to Louisiana, where his
experience in the may politics of that State
will be of great service and his well-known
high character will command univer-
sal respect Indeed, the entire Repub-
lican representation in the Committee is
excellent; Messrs. KirkwoOd Cameron and
Mcmillan, the remaining Republicans, are all
admirable selections. The Democrats, also,
have no reason to dread this nquiry-if their
case is good If Mr.. Bayard's ability cannot
save them, they must be III bad way.
