THE PLAGUE.
The Dreadful Disease that
Prevails In Cyprus.

The cession to and occupation by
England of Cyprus has drawn public
attention to the plague, which pre-
walls in that island. as throughout the
Levant generally. We ale apt to
think of the plague as of the leprosy
AS a disease of The past, and yet it
RACES more or less every year in the
east, although the Europeans notably
the English, are comparatively ex-
empt from it when residing in the
Levant, from their superior cleanli-
ness, neater habits and love of fresh
air. The plague last visited England
in 1868, but as late as 1920 it de
stroyed nearly half the population of
Marseilles, and 70 years after appear
ed in Russia and Poland.
Since then it has been almost I'M
known in Western Europe. The
plague Of the Lavant is virtually the
same malignant contagious fever.
under the name of the black death,
proved such an awful scourge In the
fourteenth century. In China alone
100000, are reported to have been
swept away by the pestilence; in the
rest Of the East well nigh $4,000, 900,
in Europe, $4,000, 900, and in Africa
100000 to 100000, making a
mortality of not far from 10000, 900.
Animals persisted as well as men by
millions; the earth was black and hor
rible, with agony, terror and decay.
Death was on sea as well as on
land; ships drifted a%iInless over the
ocean, the crews dead and putrefying
on board, and carrying infection and
death in turn to the shores on which
the winds or tides happened to cast
the pestiferous vessel. The imagi-
nation is appalled, at the hideous pic
ture. The fearful mortality gave riso
to other shuddering evils. Supersti-
ton became rife tho Jews were every
where slaughtered on suspicion Of
poisoning the wells-l2,O00 of these
innocent people were cruelty muder-
ed in Mentz alone, many sacrificing
themselves in masses to avoid the fu-
ry of the mob, and in some places be-
ing exterminated to the last man,
woman and child.
Thousands Of people died, of fear,
the ties of kindred were dissolved by
terror; mothers forsook their plague
stricken children, the worldly become
monimaniacs on the subject of sin;
bands of wild devotees roamed
through Europe with criciixers ban
ners and iron pointed thongs, scour-
cling themselves, with the idea of ex-
planning the wickedness of the peo-
pie and ~appeasing Heaven by their
sufferings. Humanity underwent a
total revolution; society became dis
organized; the planet was delivered
over to a chaos of terror, superstl-
ton, crime, pain, pestilence and
death. Fortunately for the race,
such terrific scenes will never be wit
messed again.

States disoordant and ~hcligerent; on
a land. drenched with fraternsl blood.
t"As Democrats We point with pride
TO the fact that since the accession Of
our PARTY to power it has not created
a dollar Of debt, but has paid mil
lions upon existing debts"
l would like to know il you paid
those debts with the money and as
sets Of the Bank of Tennessee, with
the Torbett issue, or with the school
funds; perhaps you may have paid
large sums out of the penitentiary
lease. | do not suppose il was paid
in good Democratic money, such as
we had in 1923 and 4.
"By reason Of circumstances over
which We have had no control, we
are no longer able now to meet the
requirements of our creditors"
This is nearer the truth than any
thing else | see in that wonderful
instrument called the Democratic
platform. 1t is a tacit confession
that the State government is IN a
worse condition than it was years
ago. The Democratic platform as a
whole, may mean anything and every.
thing, in general, and nothing in
particular. 1t is Il low appeal to the
vilest passions of the heterogeneous
mass of homogeneous material Of
which the Rebel Democracy is COM
posed.

No Fever I'm Chattanooga.

The following from the Times ex-
plains itself: Since last Saturday we
have done little else than look into the
grounds for the reports that there is
yellow fever in the city among our
own citizens. There certainly Is none
If we are capable Of weighing testimo-
ny correctly. The reports emanate
from two classes of people. a. Those
who want to make some reputation for
professional wisdom. )2.. Those who
talk whatever enters their minds for
talks sake or for mischief. We have
heard of one medical man who had
fourteen yellow fever patients. lie
has not seen them himself, for some
days; they have been cured and sent
away. These are the Excuses when lie
is asked to show or name them. lie
should suhside before the community
does more than vote him a nuisance,
which has already been done Nnani-
mouSly.
