By nominating a State ticket the PrOhibi-
tionists of Ohio have played directly into the
hands OF the Democrats. 1t is impossible to
understand by what process OF reasoning they
thought this would benefit the cause OF TEN
perance. The Republicans are in favor OF
giving the people of the State chance to vote
for prohibitory amendment, as well as on
policy fayorng the restriction OF the sale OF
liuuor What fairer attitude could be assumedT 7
None certainly. The Democrats, on the other
hand, practically favor free rum. Despite this
plain situation the Prohibitionists have turned
from the only party that ever has done any
thing for temperance, to the one that has
always been against it. They could not have
pleased their worst enemies better.
The work accomplished at the State Camp of
Instruction at Peekslill last summer was
highly satisfactory, but we look for even bet
ter results this year. Many improvements
have been made in the grounds which
cannot fail to add to the comfort of
the citizen soldier while training. A caterer
with forty walters and thirty assistants has
been provided. That is indeed comfortable.
The only danger appears to be that too much
may have been done TO render the place at
tractive and that instead of feeling as If
they were actual soldiers in the field and un-
der strict discipline, the whole affair may
seem to the militiamen nothing more nor less
than grand picnic at the expense OF the
State.
If the Nihilists refrained from trying to kill
the Car at Moscow, waiting to Sue il any con-
ccssions were forthcoming from him after his
coronation, they are probably convinced by this
tiue that they have nothing substantial to
hope for. The burdens resting on one or twO
small groups among the Cars eighty million
subjects have been lightened, and now it is
stated that mercy has been extended to several
condemned Nihllists. This is very little, and
it will not placate the Terrorists themselves in
the least. But 1t will weaken them indirectly
by the influence which it will have on the popu-
lar mood The imperial clemency doubtless
will be misunderstood and Overrated and for
s0me time recruits for the Nihilist ranks will
hardly be SO easily obtained as formerly.
Ine most noteworthy thing about the tor
nado at Hampstead, Long Island, is that it
should have happened at all. The usual play
ground of such storms is the Mississippi VAL
ley. They seldom get east of the Allegheny
Mountains, because the atmospheric condi-
tions which precede them are likely to be
less perfect here than on immense open plains.
However, in fifty years. from 1881 to 1881,
there were thirty-fve tornadoes in this State.

In an address before the Medical Department.
of Syracuse University yesterday, DIR. ID. Is.
st. John Roosa made suggestion when inc
legislators and doctors of this State should
consider seriously. He urged that medical col
leges ought not to be allowed to give License
TO practise but that Board of Examiners, like
the Army and Navy Boards. alone should
have the power to say who was quaiihed 10
practise medicine. In this city, some OF the
leading instructors in our medical schools are
interested in the fees of graduation. 1t is
true that most of them are men of so high
character that no scandals have arisen; but
the interests of the community would proba-
bly, be better guarded if all the teachers had to
do was to teach The profession in New ork
may not be ready yet for such change as Is
suggested but the point is more deserving OF
discussion than the revision of the code In
deed, if the State granted all medical diplo-
mas, it is entirely possible that the recent
contentious over the code would not have
arisen at all.

Nevertheless these contests between represent

Fashion Notes.

Jackets Of velvet Of the new royal
French blue Will be worn, trimmed with
gold soutache and small gilt buttons.
The long nurse apron front, with paniers
above it around the hips, is fayorite style
for spring costumes.
One of the lOveliest dresses for midsum-
mer or spring festal wear is of white veil
ing, closely dotted with silk brOcade dots.
Some Of the new undergarments are
lovely. In a trOusseau recently prepared
one Of the night dresses had the entire
front formed Of alternating rows of the
French needlework on linen cambria, and
an inserting of linen lace, with a frill Of
lace down frOnt-collar and cuffs to
match front. Another had tucked front,
with jabOt of lace down front and frill of
the same on sleeves and in neck, loops of
white satin ribbon. Vatican pleats were
in the back of both Of these robes.
An authority in fashions, who is very
much opposed to cOlOred undergarments,
SAYS in lie journal DIES Modes that under
clothing should be a TepOse to the eye
from the cOlOrs worn in the outer dress. 1t
should be calm and candid. 1t cannot be
too snowy. White undertaking Is the
poetry dress. II you make it black, blue
or red you deprive dress of all the delicacy
and purity that should enclOud woman.
Undertaking is wOman's own personal
luxury: it is an egOtistic satisfaction, if
YOU Will, but woman who unrObes her
self over a cloud of white feels better
pleased with herself and respects herself
more than when she sees herself covered
with cOlOred undertaking.

The FIremen-Active Preparations for a
Big Day i'm Macon.

The red-shirted boys are making some
extensive arrangements for making next
Monday a big day in the history Of the
department. The Telegraph says there
is more interest manifested than at
any previous parade. Every night the
several companies practice on the
race ground, and attract great crowds
Of people, and there is seemingly
as much interest taken in the practice as
usually in a regular contest. The several
companies do not lack for friends, and
there is a good deal Of betting going on as
to favorites carrying away the first tro-
phy. The best indication Of the great en-
thusiasm is the opening of pools at Cr0-
meline's. There are seventeen companies
on the list. and the book buyer has ample
means of making a selection. The follow

No Cause for Alarm at Charleston.

\ ridiculous report was telegraphed
from Washington on Wednesday night to
the effect that great alarm was felt in this
city. owing to the arrival at quarantine Of
a number Of vessels with foul bills Of
health. The statement was received here
with surprise and Indignation, as it had
not the slightest foundation in fact. There
has not been a case OF yellow fever at the
quarantine station this year. and there has
not been a vessel at quarantine on which
there had been case Of yellow fever dur
ing the voyage hither. Nobody in Charles
ton had heard even a rumOr of the pro-
pinquity of so unwelcOme a visitor, and
Of course the alarm on the subject had
no existence save in the Imagination of
the mischievOus Munchausen in Wash
ingtOn who cOncOcted the story. It's
proper to add that this contradiction is
made after careful inquiry and upon the
authority OF the Health Officer Of the CITY
-Nelrs and Courier.

A Denial from Revenue Collector Pleas


SAVANNAH, April 10 Editor Morning
Ne,rS: In this mornings issue Of your
paper | see a statement from your Wash
ingtOn correspondent that 1.-The office Of
the Internal Revenue Collector at Sayan-
nah chips in and pays y. y. Wilson "a
stipend This report" is so utterly I'M
true that can conceive of no other origin
for it than that it was Matched by one of
the would be attorneys in Washington
whose Overtures and demands | rejected,
or by one Of my former deputies, who
went to Washington and began crusade
for my official position white living upon
money which was drawn from my Office
and furnished to him by his friend, whom
at his special request L had appointed to
keep his place for him while he was to be
temporarily absent in Atlanta.
While / do not know the facts. pre-
sumo that one Of these has imposed this
tale upon your sagaciOus correspondent.
That Col. A. y. Wilson was ever en-
plOyed by me, or ever received from me
one single cent, is utterly untrue, and
that he has or will receive any money
contributed by the employees in the in
ternal revenue office is also without fOun-
dation in fact, utterly untrue, and only
likely to be thought of by men whose
standard of honor is indicated by their
practices as above referred to.
