THE. BUSINESS" ISSUE.

great deal OF intelligent effort dur
ing the next four years to stimu
late the energies of the people in
the direction of business pursuits
Mr.. Cleveland means to have
politics RELOCATED to the rear as an
e1citant, to the end that the country
may recover from the lethargy that
has characterized the industrial in.
terests of past years. In reply to
some official inquirers, who occupy
anxious seats, as to whether his civ
il service policy will make a ''clean
sweep" of present govern nent Off
Gals, he tells them to "attend to
their business" He has ordered
his private secretaries to destroy all
letters addressed to him asking for
office. He does not propose to
make appointments as one would
give aims to the INDECENT. So far
as the South is concerned, it is very
probable that the new President
will make at least one or two Sc
lections from our section in recoeni-
ton OF Southern craftsmanship and
loyalty to the Constitution. The
South has been solid in her deyo-
ton to the constitutional liberties
OF the people, and has maintained
a ceaseless war against a party that
sought to bring contempt upon that
great American charter of human
rights. To this solidity, in great
measure, is the country indebted
for the final triumph lately achiev-
ed. This triumph cannot be de-
meaned or undervalued as a mere
successful contest for office. 1t
means more than tongue can tell.
1t is the most valuable victory
won in modern times. A victory
not only essential to the preserva-
ton and well-being of our own
country, but one whose effect will
be felt in every cline and country
where human hopes aspire to free
dom. Now, that this magnificent
battle has been fought and won,
sur people can well afford to divert
heir minds and energy to pursuits
'f peace. In this direction a great {
yet awaits us. The new
administration will afford the op-

rope is still making new invasions

The old adage that "an ounce Of
preventive is worth pound of
cure" is correct, hence sanitarians
should endeavor to ascertain the
laboratories of these germs and des-
troy them, which might prove an
easier task than destroying the
germs after once produced. Facts
deduced from observation are the
surest data and best guide for sue
cess, and should not be ignored but
accepted and acted upon, in order
to insure beneficial results. Our
little city during the past summer
and fall months was sorely afflicted
with the disease known as "typho-
malarial" fever, and at this date
there are many anxious households
within the corporate limits on ac-
count of remaining cases. "Typho-
is certainly nisnomer
for this fever, as the symptoms and
treatments fail to sustain the theory
that malaria is the cause or has any
thing to do with its production.-|
