WASHINGTON, AUGUST 80, 1888.

THE YELLOW FEVER at Jacksonville
has assumed an epidemic form and the
number of cases is increasing, though
the proportionate mortality is not great
1t is more than likely, however, that the
fever has come to stay until its germs
arc nipped by the fall frosts, and the
outlook for the plague-stricken town is
dismal to contemplate.
Much is being done to check and miti-
gate the disease and the establishment of
outlying camps, which proved so effect
ual at Memphis, will 60 far toward di-
minishing its fatality. But we believe
ii to be wholly mistaken, as well as in
human policy, to prevent the egress of
such persons as desire to get out of the
State. One instance is mentioned where
man who had been taken sick at Bou.
logne, in Nassau county, was turned
back to Jacksonville and suffered to die
almost without assistance.
The point that we especially want to
make is this: That all who desire to leave
the infected city for higher lati-
tude should be permitted to do so. 1t
lessons the burden of those who are COM
PEELED to stay and removes to places of
safety so much material that would
otherwise be left for the pestilence to
feed upon.
Of the thousands of people who left
Memphis during her great epidemics, but
an insignificant number were subse-
quenty Frustrated by the fever; and the
most OF these did not leave the State of
Tennessee. Among those who came
North the instances are few and far be-
tween where death occurred from this
cause, while it is well known that the
North was never subjected to the conta-
gion, even in its mlldest form through
the presence of these Southern refugees.
genuine case of yellow fever oc-
Cured several years ago at the Lindell
Hotel, st. Louis, imported from New
Orleans, but it ended there without dis
turbing the composure of the guests Of
the house, and there was never any
fear on the part of the medical authori-
ties that yellow jack" even with all
the advantages of unrestricted river
communication with the South, would
obtain lodgment in the city.
AS Cor danger to the Northern and
Middle States-to the great cities of
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington--it may be considered still
less. Where the fever has never pre-
vailed in an epidemic form it is not
reasonable to suppose it will gain foot
hold now.
If any suspicious cases Of illness arc
found among the North-bound travellers
from Florida they should be promptly
and carefully provided for; but in the
name of humanity do not order them
South again. Give the fugitives q
chance for their lives. Give them un,
quarantined transportation to the North
Human sympathy revolts at the idea o.
standing in the way of those who are
escaping from deadly peril, especially
AZ they leave the peril behind anc
bring none with them. Let them b,
welcomed to our health-giving breezes
instead of being condemned to remain
and perish.

Rev. Henry Blanchard, reporting from
Maine. in the meeting of the New England
Woman's Suffrage Association in Boston,
found this State doing its best work in send
ing suffragists to other States. 1t will not be
easy to secure suffrage while legislators stand
so much in awe of public opinion. The
chief recent gain is that the Changers have
taken up woman suffrage and that the
Knights of Labor recognize women as equals
with the men.
