The solidity Of Southern elections this

This is made apparent by the early activity

LAMAR AND THE EPIDEMIC.

Senator Lsmsr. who has returned from a
short visit to Mississippi, says that the &C
counts of the fever are in no sense exsg-
gerated, and that he is very apprehensive
that unless the most stringent measures are
adopted by the National Board of Health
and local authorizes of the South the epi-
demic will be more violent and fatal than
last season. He still thinks, however, that
past experience will contribute largely to
the confinement of the disease to within
narrow limits, and the adoption of more
stingent quarantine regulations in all the
seaport and river towns of the South will
tend TO that end. He says further that the
return Of this dreadful disease following
the colored exodus greatly exaggerates the

The great wheat producing and exporting
countries in Europe are Hungary and Rus
sis. They are the only competitors the
United states have in supplying both Eng.
land and France.
Now, looking at it from a commonplace
business standpoint, the situation appears
to be about this:
Our crops in this country, both grain and
cotton, will, beyond question, be excellent
On the other hand the crops in Europe, as a
rule, are q failure.
in England the grain produced will be
less than usual.
In France it will be very much less than
usual.
Iu Italy the crops are said to be nearly
ruined
In Germany they are reported to be very
fair, though fair only.
But In Austria Hungary and Southern
Russia, the real grsnsries of Europe and
the only countries that compete with the
United States, the grain crops are reported
to be very seriously damaged if not par
tally ruined.
Under these circumstances We can zee no
possible reason why the exports of this
years crops should not bring . larger
amount of money to this cuontry than any
previous year ever brought-bring it in
gold, too.
We think that every indication points to
pocket Of the shipper means money for the
farmer, and indirectly money DOR nearly
every branch OF trade and industry.

A Sensational Paper Taken In.
New York Trfhunel

Miss Duer, who killed her schoolmate
and intimate friend in Maryland, and was
recently acquitted of murder, has come to
grief after all. Within . fortnight of her
acquittal che had the enterprise to sell to q
sensational paper novel entitled, "A Love
Story: They Parted and Met Again. By
Miss Lillian Duer. lately on trial for the
murder OF Miss Ella Hearn." In the first
instslment of that romance she thus de.
scribed . death: "They had been boarding
but FIVE months when her father was taken
seriously ILL Medical aid proved of no
avail. The baleiul breath Of death infused
itself into his body and rendered it inaui-
mate" This is certainly bad enough to be
original, but now . Washington paper de-
claree that the story, With slight change, is
copied from An English novel called Cath
arine" So the sensationaI paper has lost
its $500, and serves it right

NECESSITY OF SANITARY PRE-
CATIONS.

While cieaniine.s is at all times next TO
godiiness, and irdispensably requisite 10
good health, in all seasons, il is especially
to be desired and commended at the present
time. With a temperature versing upon
l00' in the shade the broilIng rays of the
sun search ont every offensive spot, and
nuisencss serd their poisons forth upon the
atmosphere in an Incredibly short spsce OF
time, and in uuu-uslly sirElent forms. If
there ever was time when it was impor-
tant for the people of every town in the
country to look well to their sanitary con
ditions, that time is now. We do not de-
sire to create any unnecessary fears in the
minds of our readers, but it must be re
membered, there is grest difference be
tween fooiish irish: and prudent precau-
tions. The advice given by the National
Board of Health, and published in our tele-
graphic columns yesterday, should be acted
upon without days delay, by every town
that has regard for the health of the peo-
pie. Those that sre known TO be in the
yellow tev.r district, and have had expert
euce with this terrible scourge, Will not
have 10 be told second time to ''clean up"
but the negligence will be on the part of
towns like ours, which regard themselves
as out Of the way Of the fever, and are in
danger Of visit from it. Ii is in such
towns that the proper precautions will be
neglected, and in such, il disesae comes in
the form of yellow fever CT in any other
form, it will find the conditions favorable
to its mos, effective and fatal work.
1t is hardly probable that yellow fever
willev make its appearance in Kansas
and yet such thing may not be impossi-
bic, for the history of the country during
the present century, shows tina; Phils-
delphia, New York, and even Portsmouth,
New Hamp hire, have suffered severely
from tie disease in epidemic form.
And it must be remembered too,
that the characteristics Of the
disesse have materially charged OF late
years. Some years ago the colored people
were entirely exempt from it, and while
white people were dying by thoas ADDS col
ored people could live 10 the very midst
of the pestilence and enjoy complete i'm
munity from ils effects. But such is not
the case nov during the prevalence of the
yellow fever in the South last summer the
colored people were no more exempt from
it than the whites, and In many cases were
the most severe sufferers And If it may
change Its character in so important res
pect as that why may ii not change. or ct
large It's habit ard invsie Districts
which have hitherto feiicita,sd
themselves upoa being beyond the field of

pie who have settled in Kansas during the
