JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Aug 2i.-Twenty-
four new cases for twenty-four hours end
ing at 6 o'clock pm. today. Two deaths
during the same period-FranK Martini,
an Italian boy, at the Sand hills, and Mrs.
Mary Ford at st. Luke. Tho latter was
the housekeeper OF Wanklin, who died
Tuesday. The county board OF health
today passed a resolution not to furnish
the names OF yellow fever patients Tor
publication.
The Times onion has organized corpse
OF volunteer reporters, consisting OF some
of the best citizens, TO procure the names
which will be printed. The report that
rigid quarantine is about to be established
| at Waycross created indignation here, as
many healthy places in Georgia, Alabama,
| North Carolina, South Carolina and Ten
ncssee still welcome our people.
| The Times Onion says: This is mis-
| taken policy, and, however kindly in
tended, will be greatly misconstrued to
our injury and, perhaps, cause themolives
| OF the members OF the board to be
uniustly assailed, but whatever the
board OF health may consider its
duty in this matter, the duty
OF public journal is plain. 1t
is to collect and publish news. This the
Times Union proposes TO do. The names
of the sick and dead are what our readers,
above all things, demand, and We must
furnish this information. We will spare
neither labor nor expense TO obtain rs
complete and accurate lists OF the sick rs
is possible under the circumstances of the
denial of official sanction to the reports.

Mr.. BREcKiNRIDGE, OF Arkansas, has

rcsentatiyes for the puposo OF testing the
merits OF Mr.. Baine's statement that
trusts are private affairs Each OF the
bills is aimed at one Of the protected
trusts, and proposes TO put the article on
the free list temporarily or permanently or
reduce the duty. Sugar is one OF them,
jutc bagging is another, coal-oil is the
third, cotton-secd oil the fourth and alco-
hol the fifth. Mr. Breckenridge hopes ia
get his bills considered by the committee
OF ways and means, Of which he is one oI
the Woodworking members, and II hC

followed the main lines of travel
and We have known that several
great trunk lines traverse the state
thus rendering the bringing of the
disease hither almost a matter OF
certainty. But this is not all. We

rapidlty In various parts of the state
We have known that among the

creaslng frequency, as appears by
the report of the commissioner of
Labor Statistics, there being prob
ably upwards of $500 in the state
at present, while an apparently
powerful company announces It's
ability to furnish contractors and
Others with any number of these
men. Nor is even this the whole
story.
The Mediterranean ports, from
which these men embark, are same
from which the infected steamers, to
which reference has already been
made, took their departure, and the
possibilities of avoiding examina.
tion and detection are too many and
too well known by emigrants,
knowing all these things we shall
have only ourselves to blame il
anything in the way of preparation
is lacking; if our cities and vii.
lagos are not in a condition of per.
feet cleanliness both as to public
thoroughfares and private premises
of every kind.
1t Is TO be feared that the mass OF
the citizens have not fully awakened
to the necessity for action in other
parts and that this is especially the
case IN some greatly exposed local
tiles. Every exertion, however
should be made at the earliest
moment in the spring to put all

scrupulous cleanliness"

I WONDER

If the pleasure exceeds the trouble
several parties are experiencing in
trout fishing?
If the snow ever went off better
and the roads dry quicker than this
year?
If the trout fishing fever is not
over high?
If Fountain street will be put in
good travelling condition this sum
mer?
How many are going to be foolish
enough to miss the Good Templars'
dime entertainment tomorrow
night?
If President Cleveland could be
induced to withdraw?
If the BARRIERS will close on Sun
days?
If religion and politics ought not
% be friends?
If public schools are the back
bone of good government?
If time gallops under the spur of
the moment?
If expecting to get to heaven by
singing is trusting to chants?
If any man would rather be a
fool than look like one?
Which is the most profitable:
paying three cents for a single fish
worm, or buying the privilege with
the bottle to fish in private streams?
Who is giving away gold headed
canes?
If the girl who loves William
ever asks her father to foot her Bill:
