Shotgun Quarantine.

We publish in another column of this
issue an extract from interesting speech
delivered by Mr. Owens, Traffic Manager
of the Plant system, at a meeting of the
Florida Press Association at Key West.
Mr.. Owens calls attention to the great
trade of the countries to the south of Us,
and expresses the opinion that the. day can
not be distant when the greater part of that
trade will be controlled by this country
The Plant system is doing what it can to
bring it here 1t occupies the most favor
able position for turning it in this direction,
aud when its expectations are realized
Florida will be greatly benefited, because
the trade will pass through her ports and
over her territory.
Mr. Owens calls attention to one thing,
however, that threatens to interfere with
the Plant SYSTEMS efforts to win share of
that trade, and it is a thing that deserves
very careful consideration. 1t is the shot
gun, non-ntercourse quarantine that is es-
tablished whenever there is a case of yellow
fever in a Florida town, or a suspected case.
OF course, if the whole State is going to be
scared every time rumor of yellow fever
gets abroad, and to permit traffic to be
blocked, no progress can be made toward
controlling the trade of the Southern coun-
tries
What is needed is an intelligent, rigidly
enforced quarantine system. The rules and
regulations which have been made for the
steamers of the Plant system are framed in
accordance with the most advanced sani-
tary knowledge, and they are complied
with strictly. Its ships are kept clean, and
there has never been a case of infectious or
contagious disease on them. This record
ought to prevent the adoption of the non
intercourse policy whenever there happens
TO be fever or smallpox at Havana. As
long as the Plant system complies with its
sanitary regulations there is not much
probability that Infectious or contagious
diseases will be introduced into this country
by means of its steamers

found such treasure of modesty.

A Dog Not Property in Maine Until He
is Dead.
Fronl the Leriston Jou,1.al.

From the LeViston Journal
Judge Dresser has given unique decision in
the Auburn Lewis dog case. He has ruled that
live dog is not stealable in Maine Under the
Maine laws a dog is not subject to larceny be-
cause he is not article of food not shade by
the toll of man, and not included in any other
of the classes of stealable property. However,
the hide of dog is stealable, because it is made
valuable by the toll of man. Thus the owner of
dead dog is protected by law, while the owner
of live dog is left to his own resources to pro-
tect his dog. This is quite premium Oh dead
a live dog stealable If the Legislature fails to
do this the dog comes under the common law,
and you can make off with him and, although
lie cost his owner a small fortune and was i'm
ported from Italy, you can't be arrested for
stealing But the owner can bring civil action
either of trespass trover or replevin Hawks
are stealable because they have noble and
generous nature" and are serviceahie to man
kind. Bees are stealable because they produce

Gen. Benjamin Butler has written a let
ter TO Capt Black, with whom he was asso-
ciated in defending the hanged Chicago
Anarchists. He refers to his association
with the Captain as 'our pleasant acquaint-
ance under the most unpleasant circum-
stances, the joint unsuccessful advocacy for
the life of men who were unla wfullv con-
victed and unwisely executed" After de-
claring that he had not believed it possible
that palpabe judicial murders could again
prevail in this country, he proceeds to com

the prosecution of people for witchcraft in

Anarchists to reward him for his devotion
and legal services by nominating him for

Rev. Sam Small is making political
be successful this fall if they discard the
bloody shirt and give the Prohi5itionists
some assurance that they will submit to the
people a pr hibtoiy amendment While
this is encouraging to the Democrats,
amounting as it does to an admission that
it will require union of Republican and
Prohij ition votes to defeat them, it shows
that Mr. Small is not much of a politician.
The Republicans will not discard the bloody
shirt, though it is a dead issue, AMI they
viii not give the Prohibitionists the desired
assurance. Mr.. Small will show wisdom by
combining himself TO religious revivals.

The question of color promises to enter
largely into the race for the Vice Presi-
dental nomination on the Democratic
ticket. Gray seems to be the favorite III
Indiana, while Black is popular in Illinois
and Green would probably be preferred in
New Jersey. Georgia will hardly insist on
Brown, but vii. be satisfied with the de-
cision of the convention.

Notwithstanding the assertions of the
Republicans that they don't want the Mug
wump vote, the return to that party of one
who has committed Mugwumpery" is
greeted with expressions of pleasure. Ex-
Gov. Pound, of Wisconsin, was Mug
wump in 1884, but the announcement that
he will return to the Republican ranks is
met as follows: 1--WE are glad that Broth
er Pound has got back all right He will
find the whole family at home, and in much
better health and spirits than they have en-
joyed for long time" This welcome need
not be kept standing, for it is not probable
that another Mugwump will get back"
soon. Ihe Republican party is enjoying
itself out OF Office so much that the other
brethren would dislike to throw a damper
over ITS spirits.

The Republicans who have been eNulting
over the alleged liability of the Democrats
to unite on a tariff measure would do well
to give less attention to Democratic and
more TO their own discussions The Demc-
Gratis in Congress, with few exceptions, will
unite on the Mills bill, but the Republicans
appear to be at sea. They have not yet
been able TO unite either in opposition TO
the bin Of Mr.. Mills or in favor of that Of
Mr. Randall. The reason of this is that
some of them see that the country demands
tariff reform.

Mr.. Roscoe Conkling had narrow escape
from death in the storm the other night.
He had been in his Office all day, and at
night attempted to walk home, thinking he
could easily do so. He tells the following
story of his experiences: "IU was dark, and
useless to try and pick out path, so went
soldering along through the snow-drifts and
headed for the north. l had no serious
trouble until got to Union Square, where,
in the middle of the square, got confused
from wiping the snow from my eyes trying
to make out my way. l found it impossible
to keep in the path, so l plunged right
through on as straight a line as | could.
When got a little beyond the middle Of the
park was up to my arms III snow. Ipulled
the ice and snow from my eyes and held w
my hands until everything was melted off
so that could see, but it was too dark. For
nearly twenty minutes 1 stuck there l
came as near giving up and sinking down
there to die as any man could and not do it,
Somehow got out and reached the New
York Club House. 1t had taken me three
hours to make the trip which always walk
in twenty minutes"

Ingalls, Mistake.

Senator ingalls, is only in beginning to
understand Row great the mistake was
which he made in his speech in the Senate
the other day when he brutally and
Inherently attacked the President and at
tempted to blacken the memories Of Gen.
Hancock and Gen. Mcclellan. His pur-
pose in making the speech was TO win favor
with the ex-Union soldier element, but he
permitted malice and partisan hatred to
get the better of his judgment. and the
effect he pro luced was Just the opposite of
what he desired.
Ever since the speech was delivered he
has been receiving letters fom prominent
members of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, and their character is not such as to
give him pleasure. On the contrary, the
few that have found their way into the
public prints are calculated to call blush
of shame to his cheek
Gen. Hancock and Gen. Mcclellan had
the love and respect Of the soldiers of the
Union armies in an eminent degree, and
their memories are held in profound respect
by the Union veterans. 1t is only natural,
therefore, that those veterans should resent
Mr.. Ingalls, with regard to them. They re-
member that when men were wanted where
there was fighting TO be done Mr.. Ingalls,
was not at the front. That he skulked
when help was needed was bad enough, but
his attempt TO destroy the regulations of
brave men who did their whole duty is re-
garded by them with unmeasurable con-
tempt.
One of the letters which Mr.. ingalls, has
received was written by Col. Finley Ander
son, who was on Gen. Hancock's staff. He
tells Mr.. ingalls, that he i amazed that any
Senator dared defame the memory of Gen.
Hancock, and advises him to rlsegin his
place in the Senate and make a full retrac-
ton and apology.
The Republican Senators see that their
colleague has made mistake that is going
to do their party harm. but they are afraid
to advise him to make an apology. They
think he is so full of venom and so lacking
in judgment that if he should attempt
correction he would do himself and his
party more harm than good.
The Grand Army men can draw only one
conclusion from Mr.. Ingalls, speech 1t is
that the Republican party has respect for
only tho~e of them who are will
ing to wear the Republican yoke
If they refuse to wear that yoke,
whatever their political convictions may be,
they may expect to receive from that party
nothing but abuse Mr.. Ingalls, has exposed
the real spirit of the Republican organiza-
ton. 1t is not a spirit that is calculated to
excite the admiration of brave and truthful
men. Mr.. Ingalls, has lost his prestige with
his fellow Republican leaders by making
this exposure. His father once said he
would be a great man if he didn't ''slop
over" His father understands him pretty
