Millions for Improvements, but not
One Cent for Protection.

The Boston Journal of Monday makes
one or two good points on bill passed
by the Senate, which we think the most
rabid partizan in the south-or north
either-can see the "peaked end":
The bill passed by the Senate on
Friday placing half million dollars at
the disposal of the National Board of
Health to establish guarantees along
the Southern coast where State Gov
ernments have neglected to do so, can
not be regarded as an unwise measure.
The half million will be expended and
many half millions more, and still there
will occur every few years one of those
dreadful visitations of the yellow fever
In the first place, the people of the
South are taking no precautions to pre-
vent recurrence of the ravages of last
season. New Orleans, for instance, has
no system of underground drainage.
Already the Times of that city COM
plains that the surface street "gutters"
are not 'hushed" to carry off the filth
in the streets of the best part of the
city. What is true of New Orleans is
true of all the large towns of the South.

kept in tOlerable condition of cleanli-
ness, and most of them are in a condi-
ton that breeds disease. The passage
of this bill practically commits the
General Government to a policy of
keeping disease out of these cities to
which it is invited by the negligence of
the Inhabitants.
There is another objection to the bill.
1t is passed by Congressman who deny
that the Federal Government has the
right to extend protection to a citizen
within the borders of State. Citizens
may be murdered, deprived of their po-
litical rights, compelled to leave their
property and fly for their lives, and the
men who pass this bill declare that such
prosecuted and wronged citizens have
no remedy outside of State authorities.
Furthermore, this Federal aid to pre-
vent the spread of yellow fever is in
voked for those very States in which,
within ten years, hundreds of citizens
have been shot, whipped and driven
away from their homes, and thousands
have been deprived of the right of suf-
frage when these outrages are perpe-
trated in open defiance of the Federal
Government.

Death of William Lloyd Garrison.

William Lloyd Garrison died at the
residence of his son-in-law, Henry Viii
lard, in New York city, at ii O'Clock,
Saturday evening. He went to New
York five weeks ago, in the hope that
he might receive relief from disease
OF the kidneys that had troubled him,
but he grew steadily worse, and the
physicians informed his friends that
nothing further could be done for him.
His mind remained clear until Friday
night, when after a short struggle pro-
duced by difficulty of breathing, he be-
came unconscious.
Mr.. GarrisOn's name is so prominent
ly and inseparably connected with the
great anti-slavery movement, that the
record of his life is of the highest inter
est. He was born in Newburvport.
Mass, Dec. ~, 1904. His parents were
natives of the province of New Bruns-
wick. His father, Abijah Garrison. was
master of a vessel engaged in the West
INDIA trade, and man of some literary
ability and taste; but he became in
temperate, and abandoned his family
while his children were young. His
mother, left in utter poverty, became a
professional nurse, and in 1914 went to
Lynn. William was at first appren-
tlced to a shoemaker, but afterward
sent to school at Newburyport. partly
supporting himself by aiding a wood
sawyer. In 1915, he went with his
mother to Baltimore, where he remain
ed year in the capacity of an GRAND
boy, and then returned to Newburv-
port. In 1918, he was indentured to
the burypOrt Herald to learn the
art OF printing, and when only Is or II
years of age began to write upon poIiti.
cal and other topics for the Herald.
Mr.. Garrison fingered in Essex county
for few years, writing for several
papers, and series of articles which
he wrote for the Salem Gazette. undar
the signature of "Aristides,r attracted
much attention in political circles. In
1870 ne became the proprietor and edi-
tor OF a journal in his native town
called the Free Press, which proved
unsuccessful. He then worked for .
time as a journeyman in Boston. In
1877, he became the editor of the No
tlonal PhilanthrOpist in Boston. the first
journal ever published to advocate the
cause OF total abstinence )" and in 1898
ne joined friend in the publication Of
the Journal of the Times at Bennin~
Ton Vt. This journal supported John
quincy Adams for the presidency, and
was In part devoted to peace, temner-
ance, antl-slavery and other reforms

Old Alexis Grandmother.

CRYSTAL LAKE, May II, 1879.
Editor CaLedoRian "Old Alex" is a

can who lives about four miles from

hewing timber in which line of business
he is very proficient Large quantities
of Live Oak are cut in Florida and be-
fore the war, his owner used to hire him
out to the lumbermen, such as Swift
Brothers, of New Bedford, Mass, at a
good price per month.

ten feet square, and apparently enjoy

chair $50 called) and had a sort of "SOn-

derneath that she had on some kind of a
nondescript article of apparel made, l
should judge, of unbleached cotton,
which reached nearly to her feet, which
were bare. There wasn't much "wool
on her head in the place where the wool
oughter grow" but what there was, was
white, and she had an old dingy-white
rag tied around her head. She is blind,
and has lost the use of her limbs so that
she has to be helped on to the bed, but
her voice is strong and she converses
with visitors freely.
She said that she felt well. but that

every day, to take her, but she suppos-

Breach of promise suits have not been
very numerously brought in New York,
and of those which have been instituted
few have been productive of anything
but trouble and expense to the plain

into court last week with wounded
heart, and was able to give such a
touching account of her wrongs and
disappointment, that gallant and SYM
pathetic jury awarded her $4,000 for
the healing of her injuries. If this
judgment only proves collectable, l

10 the Editor of the Caledonian:
Your last paper, in an article referring
to the action of "The North Eastern
Mutual Life Association" regarding the
policy issued to Mr.. Lewis, deceased re-
Gently, fails to give call the circum-
stances" or facts in the case and, nc
doubt unintentionally, you thereby
convey false impressions to your read
ers, which may tend to the injury OF
the Association. l therefore beg leave
to state the indisputable facts touching
the case, and then leave the matter to
the public.
But first permit me to state, the off
GERS of the Association have no person
al or other interest in deciding the case
referred to or any similar case, Other
than to discharge the plain duty O
their trust. They are merely trustees
for all the members, each and all whom
agree to pay a limited sum, or so much
thereof as may be necessary, on eacf
death, of members. And the contract
or policy stipulates what shall consti.
tute such membership-the prompt
payment of each legal assessment, by
the time limited, of which due notice is
to be mailed each, and on which notice
30 days grace is allowed. The amount
in all cases is trifling, and is a trifle
more in some than that you mention
and less in many more. And, l may
here add, the amount paid benefici.
airy, in all cases, is wholly derived from
small sums. 1t is, therefore, necessary
that these be promptly paid.
You state that Mr.. Lewis was an
agent for the Association. This is true
and discharged his duties as such, tc
our satisfaction, from August IA, 1877,
to May 10, 1873, when he ceased work
And the fact that he was an agent, NAV
be taken as evidence that he knew his
rights and duties as a member. Of this
there is no question, as Mrs. L. admits
that he spoke of his Indebtedness pre-
vious to his injury.
He also became member on the 18th
day of August, 1877, and continued
such in good standing up to February
10, 1879, on which day be was informed
that he was required to remit us a small
sum by the 1912 March. He failed to
do this, and thereby lapsed his policy
We did not suppose he had any inten-
ton to do so, and as usual in such cases
we sent him another assessment March
III, which he was required, by his con
tract, to pay by April 10, on which day
we sent him another. Now, all that
was required of Mr.. L. was to send us
the small sum required and an assu-
rance of his good health, and he could
have been "reiRstated," or in Other
words, had his policy renewed. But
having failed to respond to our notices
OF ~ days standing, we omitted to
send him notice May 10.
The first knowledge we get is from
Mrs. l.. May IA, when she sends S4.I2
and gives us the information of Mr.
Lewis death on the 18th inst. In short
more than 80 days after our demand,
we received a small sum, and are vir-

JACKSONVILLE, May %, 1879.
To-day | have been into the U. S
Court, now in session in fact there are
two courts, one presided over by Judge
Settle and the other by Judge Bradley
of Electoral Commission fame. Judge
Settles court is held over Togni's bill
lard saloon, which is very convenient
for the witnesses and other persons in
attendance, for when the case gets dry,
one can go down stairs and wet the
roots of his tongue. A daIkey, with a
pole, stood at the door of the court
room and made me put on my coat be-
fore | went in, and this is the nearest
that have come to seeing the United
States government for fourteen years.
The case on trial was the aforesaid U.
S. against Noble A. Hull, late Lieut..
Governor of Florida, for fraud at the
election last fall.
The case rests mostly on the follow
ing letter which inclose:
FORT REID, Nov. 8, 1878.
Mr.. Nat. Poyntz:
My Dear Sir: have a dispatch say
ing Bisbee's majority is 941-Orange,
VOlusia, Brevard and Dade to hear
from. This telegram is dated the 9TH,
z p. m, which is the latest news. Now,
as Orange and Volusia only give me 740
majority, l need few ovel 200 to come
from Brevard and Dade to give me a
majority in the district. Can that 200
be had? Will it do any good for you
to go to Brevard ? / would give any
thing if this could be accomplished. l
leave for Jacksonville in the morning,
by steamer Bird, to look after my inter
ests there. If anything can be done,
the cost of the trip is no consideration
with me. Think of it. Your friend,
N. A. HULL.
l am very much mortified at the vote
of Orange and VOlusia. If they had
half performed their duty should have
been all o. K.
The facts seem to have leaked out
because of the same reason that they
did in certain case tried at the last
June term of the Caledonia Co. court,
viz: he didn't pay up. Mr.. Allen, the
agent employed by Poyntz, returned
and reported that be had secured ma
jOrity of 269 in Brevard Co. for Hull,
where there was never more than $50
votes all told cast before. Mr.. Poyntz
testified that he told his agent (Alleu)
that she had knocked the whole thing
all to hell" which shows that it is pos
sible to Overdo a thing. Also he re-
ported that he had promised $500 to
various parties, and as the other $500 |
was not forthcoming, although ''the
cost of the trip is no consideration with
me-" ''Hence these tears" l think
that the Democrats are in danger of
osing one of their very small majority
n the House, unless the jury disagree,
or there are three colored men on it
who will vote right.

morrow at six o'clock a. M, for New
