The Republicans were not pleased with
the political outlook in Rhode Island. The
Providence Journals scratched ticket
created sensation all over the State and
caused the Republican leaders to hasten To
Providence, where they took counsel, the
result being that tremendous influence was
brought to bear on the Journal, and that
paper Is reported TO have pulled in its
scratched ticket. This was not done, how
ever, until the Journal had given its read
ers quite strong hint concerning the course
they ought TO pursue.

Baltimore is the only city in the United
States that is not i'll a county. 1t was
hemmed by county boundary lines in an
area of fourteen and one-half square miles,
and as a consequence it overran its limits
Houses have gone up in the counties sur
rounding it, and as taxes are lower outside
its limits, population of nearly 100, 900
has grown up nits suburbs. This outside
territory is called "rhe Belt" and an cleo
ton is about to be held to decide whether
the city limits shall be extended SO as to
take in the belt. 1t is thought that a ia
vorable vote will he cast, as the people liv-
ing in the suburbs are to be exempted until
1900 from city taxes above the rates they
now pay.

A Florida Health Question.

A good many of the members Of the Flor
ida Legislature are willing to have an extra
session of that body provided their actual
expenses are paid. Their actual expenses,
however, would not be much less than their
legal compensation, and it would not be an
easy matter to get at the actual expenses of
each member without causing dissatisfac-
tion. If an extra session should be called,
therefore, it is about certain that the MEM
bers would have to be paid their legal COM
pensation, and the State would have to
settle a pretty good sized bill.
But is there much probability that an
extra session will be called! At present
there isn't. The Governor doesn't favor an
extra session, because he doesn't believe
that there is any such emergency as would
justify one.
There is no doubt great need for State
Board of Health, and it is thought by many
that the Legislature ought to be called to-
gether to provide one A great deal of an
noyance was caused throughout the State
by the panic which followed the APP
pearance of yellow fever at Tampa
last year, and doubtless the loss due to the
local quarantines that were enforced was
quite heavy. 1t is not certain, however,
that State Board of Health could prevent
panic if the fever were to appear in a
Florida town this year, or that it would be
able to keep the shotgun quarantine nui-
sance within reasonable bounds, but it
would undoubtedly have good influence,
and might do all its advocates expect.
The Governor, however, is not convinced
that his duty requires him to call an extra
session to create State Board of Health
and from present indications there is not
much probability that he will be convinced
