WE PROTEST.

In reply to the statement made in the
Massac Journal, of Metropolis, that small
pox had reached Paducah, the Enterprise,
of the latter city, says:
"We only have one case Of small pox
among us, colored man, who contracted
the loathsome disease in Cairo. He was
Immediately cared for by our authorities,
sent to the pest-house and 20 new cases
have developed. The scare in Paducah has
entirely subsidized"
Some time ago white man named Black
came to the marine hospital station in this
city and applied for admission, saying that
be had fallen into the river and was sick.
He had come here direct from Paducah on
the steamer Gus Fowler, and had gone
straight from the boat to the hospital. He
was admitted to the hospital by the kind
Sisters and DR.. G. r. Carter, the marine
physician, was notified, The doctor came
and saw, and discovered that the man
Black was afflicted with the loathsome dis
ease called smallpox. The doctor told
the man Black that his ailment was small
pox and the man Black replied that he
knew il. He knew it when he started
from Paducah for Cairo he had told the au-
thorities of Paducah, or the men who acted
as such, that he had the smallpox, expect
ing that they would care for him. But
instead Of dong this, the authorities;of Pa
ducah or the men who acted as such, spur
red him, compelled him TO 90 aboard of
the steamer Gus Fowler, and to leave the
city no matter where or how, dead or
alive--no matter if he carried disease and
death into other communities-no matter if
he touched with pcsticial hand the hearth
stones of neighboring cities, or if he trans
formed popular public conveyance into a
floating pest.house. Just so he left Padu-
cab, Just SO Paducah would not be troubled
with the care of this one poor sufferer.
Thus reasoned the authorities of Paducah,
OF those who acted as such in this matter;
and men, with souls and brains more in
finitismal in dimensions than these persons
seem to possess, it would be impossible to
find But Black thought to profit by this
brutal treatment of himself directly and of
this part of the country and the travelling
public in general, indirectly--he
did Cairo the injustice to be-
lieve that her authorities would also
refuse to care for him and send him away
if he told the truth concerning the charac-
ter of his aiment therefore, he did not tell
the truth, but pretended to have fallen into
the river, and thus caught severe cold.
This is the story, which Black told when
he was lying upon what he had reason to
believe would prove to be his death-bed,
and we have as yet not seen any contra
diction of it in the Paducah press. We
have excellent ground, therefore, to be-
lieve the story true. From Blacks arrival
here may be dated the advent of smallpox
here. For Black the city board of health
had its first meeting; for Blacks reception
the city pest-house was repaired and fur
nisbed; Black was its first inmate; since
Black's arrival there have been four more

There have been now seven cases of
smallpox and variocid in this city; one of
them proved fatal the others have either
entirely recovered, or are recovering. All
of these cases were treated, OF originated, in
the marine hospital station, from whence
they were subsequently conveyed to the
pest house. AS natural result the hos.
pital must he infected by the disease and
must be liable TO communieateit to per-
sons going to and from there The hos.

hood of two schools, where upwards of four
hundred children copgregate every day.
If this much could be said of any other
building or institution in the city would
the csty board of health look idly on2 Is
there any good reason why the hospital,
which has now almost assumed the qualities
of q pest.house, should be exempt from the
rules suggested by common sense and ex-
perence for the treatment of premises
infested with contagious diseasel Is
there any good reason why the hospital
should not be quarantined against9 Will

The temperature of the northwest
continued to fall slowly during the twenty
four hours ending at9:11 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. At Bismark the thermometer
fell twelve degrees. Here it stood at the time
mentioned, at thirty-nine degrees, being a
fall Of five degrees.
"A widow woman named Mrs. Payne,
living with her three or four children on
Thirty fourth street, near Commercial av-
enue, suddenly fell down and died yester-
day afternoon. She was in moderate cir
cumstances and her children will feel her
loss severely. Medical attendance was
called in Immediately after the occurrence,
but nothing could be done for the woman; |;
she was dead. Her remains will probably
be buried to-day.
Senator Logan has submitted to the sem
ate bill By which he proposes to set aside
as a national school fund all revenue de-
rived from the taxes on the manufacture
and sale Of distilled spirits. He would dis
tribute this fund among the states and ter
ritories pro rata according to the census
returns. The enactment of the bill would
operate, il seems, to make whisky lessen its
own injurious effects by contributing to-
ward the enlightment of the people and
their consequent sabriety. The bill is GER
tainly good one aud should become
law.
(, "A collision on the Illinois Central rail
road, just above Centraia, was the cause of
q delay of the evening passenger train on
that road on Wednesday. The accident
was caused by an open or imperfect switch.
A train had side-tracked at the point named
and another train coming along jumped
the main track and ran into the train on
the side track, causing the destruction of
considerable property, butn loss of life.
The down train which was TO have arrived
here at 4:l0 yesterday afternoon, did not ar

Another Paducah man was taken care
Of by the Cairo authorities yesterday. His
name is Meyer and he is a brick mason,
who came here FROM Paducah few days
ago to work on Mr.. B. McManus' new
brick business house; but being sick he
could not work. He did not have small
poX as the other Paducah man, Black, has ;
his ailment was fts-scvere, periodical at
tacks of fits; and he was found by Chief
Myers and Officer Tyler, lying on the brick
sidewalk, at the corner of Eighth street and
Commercial avenue, Wednesday night,
about eight o'clock. He presented hor.
rible sight; thick white foam was running
from dis mouth and every muscle Of his
body twitching violently, throwing his body
about upon the pavement in manner that
must have resulted in serious injury to the
mani but for the timely assistance Of Chief
Myers and the officer. These attempted to
hold the man down in order to prevent him
from butting his brains out, but they found
it necessary to summon two more men to
assist them, and even ther it was a difficult
task to hold him down. The chief called
for water and brandy, which was with diff
ficulty administered unto the poor fellow
during his moments Of quiet. The man had
four or five such fits before he was in a
condition to be moved. Then Chief Myers
sent him, in company with the officer, to a
restaurant to be given a cup of hot coffee
and something to eat, and then sent him to
place Of shelter for the night. Yesterday
the chief went to several Of our merchants
and succeeded in collecting three or four
dollars, with which he purchased ticket
for Paducah and sent the man home on the
steamer Gus Fowler yesterday afternoon.
Meyer says he has brother and other
relatives living in Paducah.

Reports from here have lately been
scarce, not for want of news, but the
duties of each day took up ell the time,
everybody has been very busy here, and
vet the busy season lasts.
Farmers have been improving the late
long spell of fine weather; the greater
number vf them have their grain all Sc
cured, and few have oven sold their
crops already at fair prices.
The overflow of the Skagit in the
Spring has left its mark in many places;
the grain was light but all in all the
farmers have secured good crops. II. Il.
Whitney and Il few others of the larger
farmers have yet some grain not harvest
ed, Notwithstanding that, for instance,
r. Il. Whitney has four harvest crews
working, but let us have one more week
Of fine weather and most all will have
finished.
Carlson & Morrison have their new
building finished far enough to have
moved their saloon in last Saturday.

pect to have the upper part finished far
enough to give dance there on Friday,

crew with a Delaying pin, his head being
cut, his eyes blacked, his arm and back
terribly bruised. His head is partially
denuded of hair and is raw and bleeding
from wounds received. The mate, while
outside, beat him over the arms until he
could do nothing, then ordered him be-
low to bring up II barrel of beef. Being
crippled in the arms he could not obey,
when the injuries i'll the head were
given him. The Captain has so far failed
to prove that the wounded man is insane.
He is, of course nearly dead from want Of
proper care and from inhuman treat
ment, but he tells his story with remark
able saneness. The case will probably
be investigated by the grand jury here
this week. Judge Burk, of Seattle, re-
ceived telegram last evening, asking
him il he would go to Tacoma to defend
the crew. His reply was Il will defend
the sailors, but not the officers" The
Judge goes to the terminus this morning,
and will see that the sailors are accorded
the justice due to every citizen of the

TIE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

At a late meeting held by the direc
tors Of the public schools of this dis
trict-Doctor Minor, Joseph Kuhn,
Esq, and the undersigned being
present-the fact of the schools hav-
ing been uncomfortably crowded
during previous terms in consequence
Of receiving nonresident pupils from
other counties, was brought to the
notice Of the board, and having been
fully considered a resolution was
unanimously passed, that such schol-
ars should not be received in future,
until proper accommodation could be
afforded them without inconvenience
ing the children of the tax paying
inhabitants OF the district.
The writer has now been informed
that a young woman from Dungeness,
related to a prominent merchant here,
has been admitted to the privileges
OF the school, it not having been CON
sldered necessary Tin her case) to
consult the directors as a whole. or to
rrescind or modify the resolution re-
ferred to which debars all others.
If there is O line where political
influence, or that Of secret societies,
should cease, or where, if Extensively
put forward, should be peremptorily
checked, it is i'll the education of our
youth at the door of the public
school. There the child of the inhu-
ential and rich citizen and of his
struggling neighbor should meet on
equal terms, nor should favor be
granted the one which is denied the
tther.
Let it he understood that the wri-
ter is unacquainted with the young
woman here mentioned; that he re
fleets not upon the natural and praise
worthy desire to obtain an education,
but that he is totally opposed to the
secret and peculiar policy which, un-
der the circumstances, admits her
while excluding all others, and
against it enters this protest through
the public press.
