Vieksburg Herald.
The defeat of the yellow-feVer quarsn-
tine bill by the over Jealous state rights
idiots in the house representatives has
Just by met with the universal condeen-
nation in this section of the union The
idea that some men could go 50 far IN
pursuit of 8 sentiment hardly existed,
and nothing but the practical demOnstrs-
ton OF the idiOcy given by Messrs. Cox,
GOode, Blackburn, Hooker, and Others
would have been received SIS sufficient
evidence by the people here. These gen
tlemen will be astonished, no doubt, 10
learn that they have gone entirely too
far, but when we tell them that Gen.
Garfield represented the people o. this
section on the yellow fever bill, and that
they misTepresented them, they will
realize the situation. Our people can
| stand a little states rights, though We
can't see anything we have gained IN
many years by thrusting ourselves foT-
ward as the old guard of this sentiment
but they can not and will not take states
| rights doctrine if it is to be mixed with
| yellow fever. In our humble opinion
the doctrine of the hide bound states
rights, anti-subsidy democracy has cost
! the south already too dearly. We have
| to pay millions on interest annually Ga
the bonds spent to build up and develop
| the north and west, but il the south asfB
anything she is stopped by dose OF this
doctrine administered by those who cali
themselves her best friends.
| We have thus far demonstrated in vain,
and have, in preference to revolving,
| submitted to this treatment. But there
is q point beyond which foTbesrance
ceases to be s virtue, and when tame
submission, being cOwardice, only in
vites repeated contumely. In our opinion
the section OF union threatened by yell
| low fever has reached this point. We
feel that we can dispense with little of
this wonderful doctrine that is so precious
to the old fOgies. if We can have the
strong arm OF the government placed be-
tween US and the terrible plague. at
least our people are firmly impressed by
this belle and they don't want Mr. So
and>sO quoted to prove to them that they
don't know what they need. They know
that it Is OF the very first importance to
be protected from yellow fever, not only
this year, but every year, and they never
! will be satisfied until the national gov
eminent is clothed with ample powere
to protect them. They do not wish tbs
quarantine entrusted TO sny state, GER
tainly not to LOuisiana. New Orleans
is too toucheous about her banana and
coffee trade, and there are reasons, too
numerous to mention in this article,
why the protection Of the people of the
various states should be entrusted to
Uncle Samuel.
It seems to US 30 plain that it is the
duty of the government TO combat this
terrible disease when it threatens all the
states In the Mississippi and Ohio val
legs, or the states on the Atlantic coast,
that we have no patience to argue it
with men Whe are mOnOmaHiac8 about
sentiment. When the Emily B. SOuder
appeared of New Orleans with yellow
lever on board, it cannot be denied that
all the states in the Mississippi and Ohio
valleys were threatened. It is history
that this vessel spread the yellow fever
in six states, and yet these states rights
Iuuatics tell us it would not be proper
for the United States to prevent this in
future. In Gods name If it is not proper
} for the government to do things OF this
sort, what can it do? VIII Colonel
Hooker please answer this question for
the information of his constituents
viii Mesls. Goode, Cox, Blackburn
and Others In the democratic party
please answer it also? We want It
answered plainly, for if this Is pure dem
Ocratic doctrine the people of the yellow
fever section prefer some other.
