ALEX ANDRIA.
FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 16.


iact TO the GAZETTE's advice that the oeino
Gratis of the State be sure that the Delegates
,her e,ect to their State convention be men
who will represent them correctly. Ho"
ae,oocrat can object 10 such democratic
advice only the Dispatch knows. Inc DtS,
match also says the GAZETTE ia not 10 accoru
with the State democracy, and has "occa'
.ionaBy expressed decided dissent from Tue
policy Of the present democratic admins
ttation at Washington" The dAzkTTE APP
proves what is good and censures what Is
bal iu its own as we'll as q other parties
aud if I'll the other newspapers In the coun'
fro u.ra Ike it in this particular, their
,es,,.,s and the country would be the better.
I'll. GAZETTE is certainly not In accord
wiki those Virginia democrats who nave To-
nuunce i the cardinal principle OF democracy
areveuue, and adopted the cardinal pr'ncl'
ple Of republicanism, protective tar'n.
Neither is it in accord with those Virginia
democrats who favor the removal OF tne
tax on whisky and tobacco, mems Injuries,
Wills retaining that on clothing, fuel, salt,
rice. sugar. medicine, and the other necessa-
ries of iife which women and children, as
well as men, have to consume in order 10
live. Nor is ii in accord with those who, hav-
ing once urged the payment OF the last dol
lar of Vireinia's honest debt (which was
right, uow 90 beyond the Mathematics IN
their efforts to repudiate that debt. AS re-
CARDS the present national administration
the GAZETTE. jast az certainly, expresses dig
sent from it's policy of retaining in and APP
pointing to office men, who if not now, have
until recently been, offensive republican
partisans; of appointing negroes to othce Tor
no other reason than the fact that they are
negroes OF excluding from the classified
civil service all .Confederates; OF permit
ting the operation of rules which prohibit
the promotion of all x.Confederates hold
ing minor places 10 the departments at
Washington; ofrevoking commissions OF ex-
Confederates because those to whom they
were sent, when boys, had talked and acted
as BOYS; of refusing to allow Mrs. Cleveland
to 60 to Richmond lest she should meet
there the daughter Of Mr.. Jefferson Davis,
and of countermanding the order for the re-
turn of the Southern flags because such
order was Objectionable to partisan repub-
licao Organization in the North. The Ga
zsrTE is not in accord with those democrats
who approve either ths State or national
policy referred to, nor would any OF the
fathers of dem ocrac7 be, could they come
back to their earthly haunts. But the GA
zETTE still clings to the fond belief that the
vast majority of both State and national
democrats are as much opposed to any and
all of such policy as it is. and, so believing:
it repeats its advice to the democrats In all
the towns and counties of the State, to be
sure that the delegates they elect to their
State convention be man who will represent
ther; correctly

ABoUT PAYING STREETS

The conclusion is very general with the
people that our streets must be well paved.
The present make.shiit pavement is so
broken into ruts that il is in some places
dangerous. For u place that pTetends to
be city of 5000 or So 600 people, this
will not do. The appearance Of oul high
ways discredts our status, our claims and
the facts Of our trade and commerce.
We have endured this too long. We can
not endure it any longer unless We delib-
erately resolve TO let trade slip through our
fingers and confess that We are satisfied to
be rated MS nothing more than thriving
town. But this Is, OF course, not to be
thought Of for moment. Tho streets,
then, must be paved, and paved with
granite and concrete and with asphalt,
the only sanitary pavement that is known
Of. But how is this TO be done? We
have no money, and are carrying heavy
load Of debt, reminder Of municipal ex-
trayagance. Pavemanls cannot be put
down without money Where are we TO
get ii? Wei, thcrr are many ways, but
today Tng ArrEAL will present one way,
the way lhoy have Ia Ohio, and ii IS away
that there has recommended itself rs the
best that can DO devised. "A We find it
formulated in Tie I...bvg Commercial
H.dd from the tex OF tn law, il enables
any street, or any specified portion OF a
street. to improve itself by grading gut
tcrug, paving and -D forth as It may de-
sire, and secure tn advantages Of such
improvement on long limo and low
interest, by auan.nf l1r the city to

irirnt portion oii,, wish it improved in a

eminent to have II done. The law en-
powered the city government to have
the work DOUG and to issue the
city's bonds in payment 10 pay
the interest on these bonds and
a sinking fund TO redeem them when due,

ticular property improved. by this plan
any street or square may improve or not,
and any portion tina. does not improve Is
not taxed To pay Tor the improvement OF
some other portion. What do our readers
say 10 this2 Our columns are open and

Samples OF Cotton riagsing.

From tie New York Commercial Bulletin.
Still another aspiant for favor as a GOV.
ering for cotton bales has been sent for the
inspection OF the members Of the cotton
exchange, the new one being made OF lay
crs Of grass bound together with cotton.
The comments OF members Of the ex-
change upon the new sample were very
unfayomble, however, the general impress
sion being that when the grass dried the
fabric would become exceedingly weak and
utterly unfit for the rough usage 10 which
IL would have to DO subjected.
A bale Of cotton covered with Pine
needle mating was ON exhibition before
the main entrance Of the exchange,
and while certainly an improvement over
the sample Of gum board covering which
was exhibited few days ago, it had many
critics
One leading firm had taken samples Of
the mating wrapped around a small guam
THY Of cotton and the bundle placed in q
letter press over night. In tho morning
the cotton had tao appearance OF having
been smoked. Another dealer had placed
a quantity u the pine needle material in q
basin OF water and 1t had discolorcd tho
water. From these experiments IL
appears plain that the pine needle
mating would stain the cotton, aud
this, OF course, would he vital objection.
Another iact that would have considerable
weight against adopting the new bag.dng
as a permanent substitute for the juto
fabric Is that Il does not grow ias. enough.
II is stated on good authority that thcro
might DO enough material 10 cover ono
crop, but II would take yeaB 10 grow
enough for n subsequent crop.
The only substitute for jute bagging that
is at all approved by the general trade is
The cotton covering which the Liverpool
Cotton association LAS agreed 10 make a
good delivery. Against this no very radi.
cal objections are heard, and should tho
prices Of jute be further advanced, there Is
little doubt but that an early movement In
the direction Of adopting this fabric would
result

WORDS OF COAiWENDATION AND
ENCOURAGE CEMENT.

TIE ArPEAL isyery sensible OF the value
of the appreciation Of its labor in time OF
threatened exigency which Judge Clapp
SO frankly gives utterance to. 1t is sensi-
BILE of so kind and generous an expression
Of appreciation of the fidelity that charac-
terized its conduct during the weeks that
have passed into tho history of Memphis
us the time OF the ''yellow fever scare"
Commentator from any good citizen is
always to be priced, but when to the
high standing in the community of such
citizen there is TO be added the
wisdom Of an experience in public life ex-
tending over nearly full haIicentury it is
TO be doubly priced. The object TnE Ap-
PEAL had in view and the sole object, was
the prevention OF the introduction OF even
one case of yellow fever. We never
doubted DR.. Thornton's ability in the di-
rcction Of instant isolation, and careful, rs
well as thoroughly scientific treatment Of
case OF yellow fever. We know him
rs physician and surgeon Of deserved re.
putc, and that his place among sanitarans
is an enviablc one, but knowing, also, the
icrmcntod anxious and tremuous condition
OF the public, We felt that II even one case
occurred il would stampede the whole
population and utterly derango our bust
ness economies until December And
worse than that-thcrc would remain the
stamp and stigma Of the presence OF the
dreaded disease to deter business men
coming here from the West, reduce the
value Of real estate and postpone for
perhaps three or four years u revival
OF general prosperity such rs nc
tiyiiy in real estate is the best expression
Of Thanks to the officials who enforced
non.intcrrouro aud TO the merchants who
20 nobly sustained 1t with their money
and their prompt and sensible advice, no
such stigma reefs upon the city Memphis
passed the ordeal 81 many week, SUCCESS
fully and we'll. BY rigid non intercourse
sho escaped the fever which pr. Stern
berg, au expert Of world wide rcyutc, de
clarcs is Of malignant type at Decatur,
aud that hns not been checked there even
BY lowered aud falling temporal
turc. TINS ArrENL il reasonably proud
Of whatever il contributed Of aid to bring
about this wholesome result, and II Is graf
flied ut 80 generous a recognition oi il ns
Judge Clapp expresses. We had an eye
single 10 the welfare aud iulurc Of the city
whose variations Of mood and condition
have been so faithfully recorded in these
columns for forty-eight years The safety
of tho city was chcaply purchased 10y tho
temporary suspension Of business which
compelled, for one case OF
yellow fever would have closed every door
against us, aud anything like an active
trade would have been impossible until
December.

HJTGUJATED

III again, at any time In the future history OF
the South, such work should become necessary,
uniform authority and uniform methods should
be Instituted over all of the States This can only
DC done by National authority This we most
heartily approve Whether such authority should
be given to the Marine Hospital Service or the
NATIONAL Board OF Health reyiyifed, OF Health
bureau lhallgurated, are patent questions. The
Monthly was the friend OF the National Board of
Health from the time It's present Editor took
charge until Congress ruthessly juguated IT,
FOR II huber OF years before It's ultimate death,
however this Board had no funds and could not
act. Wewere therefore compelled TO look else.
where Tor aid, and the only arm OF the Govern
ment promising hope has been the Marine Hos.
plial Service. While we favor National
effort in In land quarantine for future
purposes, we see no prospect OF securing
the same. The same influences that pre-.
vailed 10 Washington when the National Board of
Health was refused an appropriation for continu.
ing It's work are the influences that govern at

Hero We have another statement OF the
fact-and from one Of the very best au-
thorities-,hat the National Board of
Health, after il had proven its usefulness
by the enforcement of quarantine and a
safe inspection service; after it had given
proofs OF the value OF the dispersal OF the
populations Of infected places, and the isola-
ton of the sick, was, as The Medical Monthly
says, "ruthlessly jugulated" in order that
the Marine Hospital service might
absorb its appropriations. And TIE
NoHhh seeing that the same
influences that prevailed in Washington"

influences that govern ut present." con-
cludes "that nothing need he expected
from Congress in the way OF establishing a
new and permanent health department. 3"
But TnE APPEAL hopes, before another

take heart OF hope" and come to tho
conclusion that 1t is not the part OF 50 pub
