1t is said, that notwithstanding the re-
ports 20 the contrary, that the real cause
Of the epidemic IN Southwestern Virginia
and Southeastern Kentucky is the want of
wholesome food, as well as the bad quail
q and small quantity Of the water. 1t is
difficult to ascertain the true state of
affairs in the stricken section, but it is
pretty certain that the first reports were
not such gross exaggerations after all.

Not Revenue Reform.

Ne5o I0rh GrdDhfc IDe07.I.
The effect of such legislation would be to
make whisky and tobacco free and flood the
country with drunkenness and crime. There
is hardly a country in the world that does not
tax and tax heavily whisky and other dis
titled liquors. Everybody recognizes the ne
cessity for such a tax. To say that we should
abolish it and levy our tax on the necessaries
of life is one of the most absurd things ever
propounded. There need be no fear that any
such plan VIII ever be carried into effect,
however, while Congress is Democratic and
the President a fair minded man. The true
plan and the one advocated by the Demo-
cratic party is TO reduce the national revenue
by lowering or abOlishing the present duties
upon the materials for manufacture and the
articles needed for consumption. What the
neople want is not free whisky but free bread.

Gen. Hawley's bill to compensate the
survivors Of the TallaPOOsa disaster ought
not to pass unless he includes in its bene-
fits the crew Of the coal schooner that
came on victorious in the conflict. The
Senator ought also TO introduce bill to
reward all parties who may wreck a naval
vessel in the future. He would thus con-
vince the country OF his patriotism and
craftsmanship.

Protectionists in Georgia.

DetTOet rfee Feoe tDe"1-J'
There are practical protectIonists down IN
Georgia. They have been bowling that GeOr-
gia's capitol ought to be bnilt of Georgia
granite, and that it is unpatriOtic to invite
proposals from contractors in other states.
But like other protection hOwls, there is a
heavy sub-stratum of selfish interest in this
appeal to patriotism. The owners of the
Georgia stone wanted the State to pay an
exOrbitant price for the patriotic pleasure of
using the home product.

Congressman Reagan, Of Texas, has
been devoting the best part Of his time for
years to an Interstate commerce bill.
The ambition of his life is to get such
bill through Congress. He has got his
bill well along in several Congresses, bat
somehow or other Congress always adj
adjourned before his bill got to point
where a vote could be taken on it. On
last Tuesday he was greatly gratined
when the House consented to take up for
consideration the Interstate commerce
bill. He made long speech, not On the
bill now pending in the House, but on a
substitute containing ten sections which
he offered. The following is brief syn
opsis of the sections Of the substitute as
presented in a Washington special:
The first section makes it unlawful for
a railroad to favor one person more than
another in the transportation OF irelgnt,
either as to facilities, expedition or rates,
and declares that all rates shall be rea-
s0nable, and provides against Intentional
breaks in continuous carriage OF frelghJ
from the place Of shipment 10 the place OF
destination. Section , prohibits the pay
ment or allowance OF rebate or drawback
upon shipments. Section prohibits the
pooling of freights by different and COM
peting railroads. Section 4 fOrbids rail-
road to charge a higher rate for a shorter
than a longer distance. Section .
requires the posting Of schedules,
showing the classification Of freight,
the rates Of transportation between
different places, and the charges for
loading, unloading and other terminal ia
| cilities. Five days notice must be given
on all changes Of schedules. Section 6
makes the act applicable to all descrip-
tons of freight ''On one actually or sub
stantially continuous carriage whether
wholly on one railroad or partly on sew
eral railroads. Section provides that
| persons injured by violation Of the law
may bring suit for damages and gives
them special privileges as suitors in such
cases. Section prescribes as a penalty
| for violation Of the law a fine of $1,000.
Section 8 exempts from the operation of
the act, freight belonging to the United
states or goods transported free or at re-
duced rates for charitable purposes, or to
and from public fairs and expositions for
exhibition.

Senator NOrthen's local option bill,
which passed the Senate yesterday, should
be passed in the House OF Representatives
and become a law. The effect Of such a
law would be to do away with the neces-
sity for great number OF local bills which
consume the time Of the General Assem-
bly, at every session. 1t is a just, wise
and conservative measure, and one which
Mr.. Northen has advocated ever since he
first became legislator. With a general
local option law those counties and
towns which want to prohibit the sale Of
intoxicating liquors within their limits can
do so without going to the Legislature for
authority, and those which favor liquor

II would be we'll for those and for other
citizens To take note of what il occurring Mt

Sonth Carolina. for example, Federal officials
realize that they are in danger, and some of
them are living for their lives In Virginia
others have been notified that it is time to co."
and are packing up. In Florida n riot already
gives the colorcd people bloody warning of
their peril. In 81. Louis speeches by Senator
Vest and other prominent Democrats show
most threatening temper. Yet these are but sur
face indications. The great body of The Demo-
Gratis. whose passions and prcjudiccs must in the
end control the party, have given no sign ia
vet because there has been no certainty of sue
cess.
II has often been said that if the Democrats
should gain control of the Government Once,
they would hold it for many years. On the con-
trary, il might prove that two years of govern
ment under such party would probably be all
that the country would endure. Several times
II Democratic Congress has been chosen, and
the people have at once rccoilcd as soon AS its
incompetence aud disloyalty were shown. Yet
at those times the majority was restrained by
ica, of alarming the people and disturbing the

once feel free to throw of the mask altogether
and show lis spirit without restraint, the
country would learn something not soon to be

THE SPECIAL VERDICT

lcans respected. They were not to Do con-
sidered Democrats, although they were ooihR
what they could to elect Democratic fresi-
dent. They were Republicans who we're 5oS
pure minded to vote for a Republican candlda'e
nominated by the great mass or hcpuDiican
voters. The, were Republicans who could
not forget that they were also Americans anu
were forced to vote against their party upon
what .bey assumed to pronounce q supreme
moral issue" They were so heavily oppressed
with the Importance of this issue that 1ey
would not take the tariff. civil service reform or
any of the great questions of the time INTO ac-
count They clamored for special verdlct
from the American people on two series Oh
stolen letters and insisted for five months that
this was the only question to be decided az the
polls.
Well. what do they think of the finding OF the
National jury7 The vote Of New Ork' they
have assumed, was the one which was 10 nave

Nm York Times and The Hcrdh during Octo-
Der. certainly exceeded 1000. What then
becomes of the punitive verdict y III Is
whitfield down to the lean and barren end OF
nothing.
This is not the special verdict upon which the
sconda-mongcrs were counting. The Stats
tical Deming made careful canvass OF the
State and announced the result about ten days
before the election. There were 10000 indie
pendonts, he said, in the State, outside Brooklyn
and New York, and in those cities there were
thousands upon thousands 80 that Mr.. Cleve-
lands majority would exceed that of 1892 and
not fall short of 5000 That was the

est belief of the supporters Of Mr.. Blaine t'a'
