The Chicago Convention did not maAe
much progress yesterday. The lnalcS-
tons are now that vote VIII not De
reached before tomorrow. The platform
and resolutions have not been presented
vet. They NAV not occasion discussion,
bur there is pretty certain to be lengthy
debate on the report Of the Committee on
Credentials. The combined opposi-
ton TO Blaine objected to Clayton
for temporary Chairman ana
the Blaine faction will object, douolless'

ton. Only four Of that delegation are LOT

BIaine's interests require the seating Of
the Dezen'Iorf delegation. If a discus
sion Of the relations OF Mahohe
to the Republican party IS once
started it may continue a whole Day
The Hawkins resolution, binding the deie-
gates TO support the nominees Of thecoh-
ventiOn, was not Of so much importance
as the discussion seemed TO lnalcd'e.
similar resolution was offered ana
Withdrawn in the 1880 convention
Inc EE5DiullUu was
Yesterday. doubtless more for the
purpose Of creating an apprehen-
sion i'm the minds Of some Of the WaVerlhS
delegates that there would be a bolt IN
the event of BIaine's nomination. There
is not, however, much probability
Of a bolt, whoever the nominees
NAV be. The Blaine leaders ap-
pear to be as confident as ever. Ihelr
ANALYSIS Of the vote for temporary Chair
man gives Blaine 3G4 votes on the second
or third ballot. They claim only 335 or
$40 on the first ballot. They accord Ar
thur only 29S votes on the first ballot. Ad-
mItting that this statement Of the strength
Of Arthur and Blaine is correct, it doesn't
Indicate the nomination Of Blaine.
If the efforts that are being made to unite
the opposition fail, Blaine's chances Of
being nominated very soon after the bal
Iotfng begins will be greatly improved;
but will these efforts fail: 1t is probable
that tney will not. 1t looks now as if
Blaine would not be able to increase his
strength after the second or third ballot,
and that either he will have to do as he
did in 1880. name the nominee, or suffer a
square defeat such as Grant suffered at
that time

The Epidemic Fund.

The National Board of Health and the
Marine Hospital Service have had their
annual fight before the committees Of
Congress, and as usual, the National
Board Of Health got the worst Of the bat
tie. The National Board tried to get con-
troll Of the epidemic fund. The House
Committee on Public Health reported in
favor Of making the fund $2OO,OO0, and of
giving the President authority to use it
through the National Board or the Marine
Hospital Service, in the event that it be-
came necessary TO use it at all. The
same authority was given the President
last year, and he elected TO put the fund
under the control Of the Marine Hospital
Service. He doubtless will make the
same kind of a decision this year. The
Appropriations Committee reported i'm
favor Of giving the National Board So
600 TO keep it alive, but the board insisted
upon a larger sum. That angered the
committee. and the entire appropriation
was stricken out. 1t is doubtful if it will
be put back. If it isn't the career of the
National Board viii speedily come to an
end. The Secretary of the Treasury and
many influential members Of the House
regard the board as purely ornamental
affair, and would like TO see it drop out of
existence as soon as possible.

A Boom for Bayard.


That public matters have fallen into low
state of ENHANCEMENT and degradation under
the policy, so-called, of the Republican man
ayers, is too manifest to be denied. How the
country can be redeemed from the deplorable

such of his congregation as were specu-

heavily. During the next week wheat
dropped 8 cents per bushel, and twenty

Senator Browns bill providing ior re-
ward Of 500. 900 for the discovery OF the
cause of yellow fever and any certain
means of effecting its cure or preNehllon'
or for anv certain means OF erecting the
prevention or cure of the dreaded disease
without the discovery of its cause, ought
TO meet with the approval of Congress-
The government Of Germany has just
given a large sum as reward 10 the yer
man scientists who visited Egypt ana IN
dia last year in search Of the germ OF
cause of cholera. These scientists claim
to have been successful. Inc reward
provided for by Senator Browns Dill
would enlist the best talent OF the medl-
cal profession in the world. The discov-
cry Of the cause Of cholera, admitting that
the cause has been discovered, is reason
for believing that it is possible to discover
the cause of yellow fever. The epidemic
of this disease in 1873 cost the South many
thousands Of lives and many millions of
dollars. 1t cost the North millions of dol
lars in lost business and contributions to
sufferers. An epidemic Is possible any
summer. Strict quarantine measures
NAV be effective in keeping the disease
out Of the country, but it is not certain
that it will. At none of the ports is quar-
antine perfect, and it is probable that 1t Is
impossible to make it perfect. In view OF
the almost incalculable damage to life
and property that an epidemic causes, no
expense would be too great to incur III
trying to find out the cause of the fever
and the means for its prevention.
Gen. Mansfield Lowell, who died Mon
day in New York, engaged in rice plant

a son of Surgeon General Joseph Lowell,

and served with distinction in the Next
can war. He resigned from the army and
was living in New York when the war
broke out. He joined the Confederate
army and was first gwen command of the
Department of the Gulf, with headquar-
tiers at New Orleans. He afterwards dis
tinguished himself in several battles, win
ming a brilliant victory at CotfeeYille,

Smith, the Republican Mayor Of Phila-
delphia has removed all the Democrats

that city last year made no political test

nearly five hundred of the force under him
were Republicans. Had he been more
partisan in his administration he might
have secured mis- own reelection. The
Republicans rarely ever obey the doc
trines of civil service reform which they
profess to advocate.
