YELLOW-FEVER AND DgTATE-50VERElGNTY
| Georgia is one of the Southern States
which, M a r1,le, aro exempt from yollew-
fcvor. Tho scourgo sotnoti,ues visits savan-
nah, bnt the visitation is raro, aud tbs othor
cities OF the State usually escape. Hence n
GooEg'a editor IL in position to contemplate
state-aoreresgnty and yellow-fover apart, his
notions Of tho ono being ontiroty unin1uoncod
by tho nocosaitios Of tho other. It Is not
| surprising, therefore, to find the editor OF
tho Atlanta {GA) Constitution discartling tho
theory Of Nationnlism In connection with

all other institutions. lie expresses himself

Tho purpose Of TnE TnrnuNn'A statement,
which Is made tho text Of the foregoing par.
agraph, was that the bulk Of tho contribu-
tions mado to tho yellow-fovcr sufferers lust
year camo from men who had no sympathy
with the Southern idon Of State.soyereignty
and the various bulldozing methods which
grow out Of il, thero WAS no hint, Of course,
about party contributions, nor any intimntion
that political purpose actuatod the spirit
of generosity that manifested itself through
out tho North. On tho contrary, the drift of
THE TRIpUNK's comment was to show that
the people Of the North, as a general thing,
are inclined to regard tho pooplo Of the South
in any condition Of tlistrcss as citizens Of a
common Nation, and TINS entitled to that
special sympathy and aid which 1t Is trait
Of human nature to extend to ono's own
family and those nearost aud dearest to tho
honrt. But the editor of the Atlanta Constl-
tuition caut comprehend this fosling, and
resonts it. He doeant want auy consribu-
tionH to bo made 10 Southern sufferers
TINT arc prompted by this sentiment
Of National relationship. He desires TINT
contributions from Illinois, for instance,
shall bo sant to tho Boyoreign State Of
Tennessee or the sovereign State Of Missla-
Bippf, from tho snme common motives of
humanity that the people Of Kamschatka
would contribute undor similar circuu,.
stances. We nro inclined to think that tho
stato-rjghts Democrats Of tho North mado
up their contributions on that basis, and It,
is this conviction which juatiflca tho con-
clusion TINT they gave colby and sparingly,
ns they would to missionary to tho South
Son Islands or Far Cashay. But tho poople
who belisyo TINT the Southern States aro
