DR.. W, NJ. CLARK, secretary of the
State Board of Health, who moved to
adjourn in the meeting of the State
Medical society, when DR.. Wise arose
to offer the resolutions Of the Shelby
county Medical society, comes out in
a card and says that he had no idea,
whatever, of the character of the reso-
lutions, or he would not have made
the motion. If the worthy Doctor
was in such total ignorance he could
have been enlightened by remaining
silent few minutes. Yet it seems
that he had heard of the resolutions
at least, for be says further on
that he had been told some frebrand
resolutions were to be offered as the
result Of a split in the Shelby County
Society, and that he moved to adjourn
to prevent the difficulty from being
thrown into the State Society. There
is an admission that puts the Doctor
in an awkward position. What right
had he to prejudge a set of resolutions
before he knew what they were or
had given the other members an op.
portunity to hear them read. No
matter what they were the gen
tlemen from Shelby were responsible,
and not DR.. Clark or President Wight,
and common courtesy, if nothing else,
should have secured a respectful
hearing, However, we give DR.. Clark
the benefit of his disclaimer. DIR.
Wight seems to have been perfectly
aware Of the nature of the resolutions,
and to have availed himself of his
position as presiding officer to suppress
them. He had worked in his own
self-praise and yoluminous production
and was determined to shut
out all criticism. Afterward he
promised to call the State
Medical Society together again,
although be annouced on the floor that
there was no way to convene the soci-
ETY. until next April, hut he even vio-
lated this promise, called only for the
members Of the society to come to-
gether, and made himself conspicu-
ously absent. 1t is charged that he
declared the meeting adjourned when
in fact large majority voted against
adjournment. His conduct is the
more noticeable because he halls from
a locality that has been particularly
hostile toward Memphis during
the late epidemic, and that has
yillifed our people with all the bitter,
mean malicious adiectives in the Ian
guage. The bare suggestion that the
state board of health should be re-
organized, so as to allow Memphis two
representatives on it who would re-
main at their posts in time of danger,
was enough to settle it in the doctor
mind that the resolutions were unfit
to be read before the state medical
society.

The jackson Sun and Tribune,
which has been the warm friend Of
Memphis through thick and through
thin, is heartily in favor of calling the
legislature together at once. Yester
days issue says:
We trust there will be no unneces-
sary delay in calling the extra session
of the legislature, and when that body
meets we hope measures of relief will
be promptly adopted. We again insist
that the question is one of state i'm
portance and it addresses itself to
every interest in the state. So long as
yellow fever is generated or harbored
in Memphis, so long will the peril of
its spread to all parts of tie state exist,
and 30 long will every material interest
of the state be made to suffer- Again
we urge prompt action on the part of
Governor Marks, and a liberal spirit
on the part of the legislature when it
assemblies in dealing with the measures
that may be suggested.

The correspondent Of the Manches-

is placed in possession of much infor-
nation by landlords in connection
with the rent agitation in Ireland,
which, for obvious reasons, the land
lords cannot make public. These
statements show many tenants who
are in position to pay their rents and
are willing to pay, are kept from doing
SO by fear of outrage from others who
cannot or will not pay. 1t is un-
derstood that a large number of pro-
cessess of ejectment have been and
will be applied for, while it is feared
that an execution of these processes
will produce some difficulty. 1t is
believed that if they are administered
only in cases where there is no want
Of ability to pay, and if the time fol
payment is given to the others agita'
ton will be much reduced.

Courier-J journal: The State Of
Rhode Island does not pay half the
revenue to the Government that
South Carolina does, while the Repub-
lican States Of New Hampshire, Min
nesota, Kansas and Maine do not pay,
altogether, what South Carolina does.
Kentucky, too, pays nearly three
times as much revenue as all the New
England States together. While the
Republican organs are drawing facts
from the internal revenue returns,
they might as well cite the above
facts, too. The Treasury Department
is just now engaged in the partisan
business of trying to make out that
the Northern States pay every dollar
of the revenue tax. We could multi
ply the refutations of that falIacy.
