THEproprietors of the CHRONICLE
have allowed The Ladies' Christian
Temperance Union the use OF one
column in the paper. While the
CHRONICLE is kindly disposed to the
cause of temperance in general way,
it makes no special endorsement of
anything that may appear in this col

entire control and will conduct it in
dependent of the other portion of the
paper. They will no doubt make it
interesting and, we hope, may accom-.
plish much good.

HURRAH for Michigan! 1t has been
the first % the States hitherto held in
Republican thralldOm to throw off the
yoke and join the list of Democratic
States. In the election Monday the
Detroit Free Press claims that the
Democrats have elected their State
ticket by 10000 majority. The Re
publican party is a dead duck. The

THE SANITARY COUNCIL.

The following is the communication
made by the standing committee of
the Sanitary Council of the Mississip-
pi Valley to the President of the Uni
ted States in accordance with the in
structions received at the recent meet
ing of the council in New Orleans:
OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY,
SPRINGFIELD, Ill March, 10. 1856.
GROVER CLEVELAND, President of the
United States. SIR During the re-
cent Seventh Annual Meeting of the
Sanitary Council of the Mississippi
Valley, held in the city of New Or
leans, March 1911, inst, the health or
CARNATIONS and commercial and trans
pOrtation interests OF twelve of the
Valley States being represented, a
special committee was appointed to
formulate an expression of the views
OF the Council concerning the action
necessary to be taken by municipal
ties States and the Federal Govern
ment with reference to the imminent
danger of an invasion of Asiatic chol-
era during the coming season. The
report of this committee was unani-
mously adopted by the Council, and it
was subsequently,
Resolved, That the Executive Com
mittee be, and hereby is, instructed to
forward to the President of the United
States a copy of SO much of the for
mulated views of the Council as relates
to the use of the contingent epidemic
fund and the National Board of
Health.
In accordance with this instruction
we have the honor to submit the fol-
lowing extract from the report as
adopted by the Council:
"The Sanitary Council is gratifed to
learn that Congress has appropriated a
sum OF money to be placed in the
hands of the President of the United
States, to be used in his discretion, in
aid of State and local boards of health
in the event of an actual or threatened
epidemic of cholera or yellow fever,
in preventing the introduction and
spread of the same, and in maintaining
inspections and quarantine mt points
of danger. Asiatic cholera threatens
an incursion into the United States in
the near future, and realizing-in the
interests of life, health and CONNER
cial and industrial welfare-the vast
importance OF such preventive meas
ures and adequate preparation for eff
fective quarantine before the advent of
foreign pestilences, SO that they shall
not come upon us defenseless and
the Sanitary Council
and earnestly petitions
the President of the United States to
immediately convene the National
Board of Health, and authorize it's use
OF so much of the epidemic contingent
fund as may be necessary for prepar-
ing and promptly enforcing a vigor-
Gus system OF preventive measures in
cooperation with, and in aid of State
and local health organizations, with |
reference to Asiatic cholera"
1t is not believed that any argument |
on the merits of this request is neces-
sary; but should Your Excellency de |
sire such, the Committee will take |
pleasure in responding to an intima-
ton TO that effect. /
Very respectfully.

Free Once More.

The divorce case Of Bohb.e L. Flu
qua vs.. RObt. L. Fuqua was called in
Circuit Court Saturday and Judge
Grace granted decree of divorce, re
storing the plaintiff to her former
name OF BobbIe l.. RiveS. The circum-
stances OF this case are familiar to our
readers. Miss Rives was engaged to
be married to Mr. Irving Cayce, Feb.
3, but while in Clarksville, Tenn, a
few weeks before, surprised her friends
and the public by marrring Mr.. Robt.
l.. Fuqua- She returned home after
the wedding and expressed surprise
when informed that the wedding,
which was, as she said, intended for a
joke, was legal and binding. She sued
Tor divorce in the March term OF
Court, alleging fraud against Mr.. Flu
qua. That gentleman, through his
attorneys, protested and resisted the
granting OF the divorce for such
cause. The case went over and the
plaintiff filed an amended petition
the obnoxious clause and
Mr.. Fuqua offering no turthur obiec-
tons, the decree was allowed Saturday.
Miss Rives is now at liberty to act as
her heart and good judgement may
dictate.

If the appointment OF Pearson to
the New York postotiice had been
made with the idea of detracting from
Republican strength it would have
been mistake. Only weakhngs like
Hayes have pursued that kind of poll
cy. The appointment, as we under
stand it, established the precedent Of
making business superior to politics.
1t was an exceptional case and indIca-
ted a general policy only to that extent.

The Contrast.
Mapnnhfc Aualanoho

The contrast is marked between the
gentlemen of the machine, who have
sufficiently overlooked their hand to
raise dead and forgotten issues in order
to secure political point upon as good
men at least and much wiser and far
more modern politicians than those
they have attacked. The friends of
Porter heartily accepted and approved
the nominations of Atkins and Gregg,
the low taXer. The machine people
have been growing and mouthing and
raising dead issues against Jackson
and Porter ever since the nomination
of the latter to be assistant secretary of
state.

prospect therefore is that we will have
a strong demand for good Tugs and

that the higher grades of leaf will be
comparatively neglected.

fairly active, with advancing tendency
for both Burley and dark leaf varied

Pleasant Plains correspondence
Jackson Tribune and Sun: The Sc
we're cold OF the winter proved very
destructive to the wheat crop, and
many farmers are preparing to pillow
up and plant the ground in other
crops. The clover is much damaged,
and on lands inclined to te wet, or
what is called "buck-shot' land, is
totally destroyed. But it is said that
good crop always succeeds a severe
winter, and that an abundant yield in
crops will compensate for the damage
done in wheat and clover.
