STREET SAYINGS.

At the Jackson Street Methodist church
yesterday four ministers participated in
the exercises and not one of them alluded
in prayer, remark or sermon to the death of
Vice President Hendricks. Several who
were present remarked upon the fact at
the close of the service. One said it was
because the speakers did not wish to cast
even shadow of gloom over the spirit of
thankfulness that prevailed. while another
said it was because none of the ministers
had read the daily papers and that though
it was eighteen hours old they did not
know that the country had been bereaved.
At any rate they did not let fall syllable
from which any one might infer that OH its
day set apart for thanksgiving the nation
was in mourning.

Bret Harte, as everybody knows, is to lose
the Glasgow consulate for inattentIon to duty.
He has made great struggle to keep the
place, but he must 90. Here Is a story that
illustrates the way be ran the office, which Is
both true and good:
One day an American visiting Glasgow
tried to find the consulate, and after some
trouble succeeded in discovering a bury
Scotchman who held the Office. The visitor
asked if Mr. Harte was in.
"Oh,n said the burly ScOtchman, Mr..
Hertc is never here. He lives In London ana
dev0tes himself to literature"
"Ah," said the stranger, then l Will leave
my card" and saying this he gave tho paste
board to the attendant, who took 1t and read

We're? Then I'd telegraphed MIR. Harte, and
he'd been here Tomorrow morning.

The Erbin Case.

The health officer at Brunswick replies,
in the Brunswick Herald, to an article in
the MORNING News touching the admis-
sion Of the bark ErDin into Brunswick
harbor. The health officer closes his re-
ply as follows:
II the editor OF the NEWS will furnish
the cholera cases from the bark Erbin' |
VIII admit careiessness and negligence
upon the part Of the health authorities OF
Brunswick. If he can neither furnish the
cases nor the germs he must periorce
withdraw the charge be has made. This,
] am sure, he viii have the magnanimlty
to DO.
The MORNING NEWS has already pub
lished the letter of DR.. Blain, the Health
Officer, to DR.. Mcfarland, the Health
Officer Of this city, in which he denies
the statement made by the Captain Of the
Erbin relative to the discharge of
ballast. The immediate occasion of the
article of the MORNING NEWS was the
statement Of the Captain that he had dis
charged ballast, taken from the beach at
Valencia, at the Brunswick quarantine
station. DIR. Blain says that if the MORN
ING NEWS will furnish cholera cases
from the Erbin, or cholera germs, he will
admit carelessness on the part OF the
Brunswick health authorities. The
MORNING NEWS is glad that neither
cases nor germs can be furnished, and
the MORNING NEWS admits that the
health authorities at Brunswick cannot be
charged with either carelessness or neg
hgence il it was their purpose to allow
the ErDn to be brought to their quaran-
tine station.
1t was understood here that it was the
purpose of the Surgeon General Of the
Marine Hospital Service not to allow the
Erbin to enter Brunswick harbOr, and to
prevent her from entering the revenue
cutter Boutwell, was ordered to intercept
her and direct her TO Sapelo. If the
MORNING NEWS is not mistaken the
pilots at this port have directions not to
bring any vessel from a cholera infected
port to the Savannah river quarantine
station, but to take all such
vessels direct to Sapelo. OF course the
/ Brunswick health authorities have a
right to manage their health matters as
they think best, and it must be admitted
that if it was not their intention to assist
inc surgeon GeueIdl Oh Jne AhIlue hOSpl-
tai Service in having the Erbin sent to
sapelO, before being examined at any
other quarantine station, they certainly
cannot be charged with being neg
lectful or careless, but if it
was their intention to assist him
they must admit that they failed TO carry
out their intention. In view of the fact
that cholera infection is carried from one
country to another in ways that are diff
cult to guard against. because it is pres
ent when least suspected, it would
/ seem that the Surgeon General OF the
Marine Hospital Service was not over
cautious in trying TO prevent the
Erbin from entering any harbor be-
/ fore going to SapelO. The MORNING
NEWS does not think that he was over
cautious, and 1t does not think that there
can be too much caution with regard to
vessels from cholera-intected ports. There
is too much at stake to take any risks.

There must have been a very dramatic
scene in the Virginia Republican conven-
ton last Wednesday when Senator Rid
dleberger, 1.-THE game cock Of the valley"
appeared on the platform, and said to the
bowling and perspIring mob that ''there
are white men in Virginia who put negro
troops to the front when they are afraid to
go themselves" The allusion was TO
Senator Malone, who had put up two or
three smart negro orators TO attack
and worry Riddleberger while he
remained behind the scenes and directed
the action OF the convention. Riddle
berger was very mad because the negro
orators had got the best Of him, and had
rasped him until he lost his temper. But
the scene assumed the character of
tragedy when fresh, Whitehead young
Nirginisn named Wilson jumped on the
platform and attempted TO disconcert
Riddleberger by shouting that the gal
leries were packed with the friends Of
GOV. Cameron and Riddleberger.
Gen. Groner, friend of Came
ron, with an oath, sprang at Wilson
for the purpose OF making him take back
his bold charge or suffer the consequences.
A blow at that moment would doubtless
have brought about about collision be-
tween the Riddleberger aud Malone fac
tions which would have resulted probably
in depriying the Republican party of Nir-
glnia of a few voters. Malone, however,
appears TO have been equal 10 the ocea-
sion. lie rushed 10 the front, quieted
the uproar with move Of his
hand, and then quickly approaching
Riddleberger embraced him. In the
presence OF their followers they agreed to
forget their differences, aud let the con-
venton proceed with its business. The
Democrats OF Virginia ought 10 ex-
perienee no difficulty in gaining a victory
over such a motley crowd as that which
composes the Republican party Of that
State.

The assignment of John Roach, the
shipbuilder, is rather surprising. He
was thought to be very rich man. He
has done large and an apparently pro-
fitable business. He certainly hasn't
lost money on his contracts with
the government, for the Dolphin
and two steel cruisers, because
the Dolphin is the only vessel
that he has built. Mr.. Cramp, the we'll
known Philadelphia shipbuilder, says
that Mr.. Roach has received all the pay
ments except one for the Dolphin, and
that he has received S32, 900 beyond the
contract price for extras. Mr.. Cramp
also says that Mr.. Roach has received
nearly all the payments for the steel
cruisers, although he has not yet built
those vessels. Mr.. Chandler, before ne
left the Navy Department, took very good
care of Mr.. Roach.
What, then, is the meaning of Mr..
Roach's assignment? Is be, in fact, in
solvent, or is the assignment piece of
strategy in the fight which he doubtless
expects to have with the Navy De-
partment? 1t really looks as if
he were in financial difficulties,
but it would hardly be safe to conclude,
from what is yet known of his affairs,
that he was forced to take the step that
he has taken.

Is Ferran a CharIatan?

If the latest reports from Valencia,
Spain, in reference to DR.. Ferran's al
legged great discovery are true. the Span
ish governmental authorities were right
in not making haste To recognize the
utility and effectiveness Of incubation as
a safeguard against cholera. The won
derful stories at first told in regard to in
OcuIatiOn were received with a very large
gram of salt, and it now seems very
probable that cholera incubation is not
only of no value, but is an extremely
dangerous expedient, for not only is the
genuine cholera likely to be communi-
Gated thereby, but blood poisoning and
other diseases are spread by means of the
inoculating fluid.
DR.. Ferran has had the usual luck of
charlatans. While he has been frowned
upon by the medical profession on account
Of his irregular and ayariciOus manner Of
bringing his alleged discovery before the
world, he has succeeded in large meas
ure in gaining the confidence of the com-
mon people, and, as recent dispatches
state, has been taking in from : 900 TO
$1,000 per day from his patients, or rather
victims, FOR several weeks.
1t ia probable now that his harvest Of
dollars will very soon be at an end, for the
harvest Of death has already begun among
his inoculated patients. lie has treated
thousands az Valencia, and apparently
the use Of his bacilli has not even checked
the march OF she pestilence.
A very fair test WAS given Ferran's
method IN the Valencia asylum. Eighty
Sisters OF the Poor were inoculated. while
FIVE sisters refused TO be iuoculated. not
withdrawing the earnest advice OF the
asylum chaplain. up 20 Sunday the five
had escaped the disease, while eighteen
OF those who were inoculated had died,
ana the death Of several others was mo-
mentarily expected.
II cannot be long before the world will
be convinced Of the truth or falsity OF DR..
Ferran's claims. II now appears TO be
highly probable that be has merely played
the part Of an ingenious and bold but eX-
ceedingiy interruptions quack.
Ex.seeretary Of the Treasury McCul-
loeb says that there is one thing that can
be done TO put silver in circulation in this
country, and that is TO stop the issue
Of one and twO-dollar United States
notes. The financial policy that forces
the people 20 20 around loaded down with
silver, especially when the mercury is in
the 0Vs, will hardly meet with popular
favor.
