The Whale Swallowed by Jonah

Some Of the press brethren are dis
posed to question the propricty Of the
ClarioH-Lcdgcr in publishing the Mis-
>iS>ippi Republican, The Radical organ
edited 10y Jim Hill. We never saw a
copy-of the Republican, and are not
prepared to say whether or not it is a
fit publication to cmanate from the
office of the official printer of the
state. 1t will not do to urge that it
is right and proper for a printing
office to publish anything that it can
get pay for publishing, any more than
it would to say that man is justi-
fled i'll doing thing that is wrong
because somebody else would have
done it if he hadm't.-Tupeio Jounal.
This thing of the Democratic State
organ publishing a Radical sheet for
the shekcls there is in it. not only isn't
right, but it forcibly recalls the unhO-
~ alliance for the division of spoils
between the Clarion and Radical Pi-
lot years ago. Getting its name ny
phenated with the Ledger hasn't
changed the nature of the beast. In
stead OF brother Henry's absorbing
the Clarion, the old concern has alb
sorbed him, boosted democracy and
all. Jonah has swallowed the whale.

HOW THE FEVER SPREADS.

HOW TIE FEVER SPREADS.
The M,mphiS Appeal of the 18th
ult., gives history of the origin and
spread of the pestilcnce at Montgom-
cry. Ala. in 1873, audat Jacksonville,
Fla, this year as follows:
The first person who took sick in
Montgomery in 1873 left Pensacola on
the 18th of August, reached here on
the 18th, and on the 18th was sick.
The case was. light one. The next
in different part of the town was of
Il woman who left Pensacola August
.. arrived here August 10 and was
taken sick August II, and died Aug
ust u. Neither of these cases attract
ed any attention 1t was not until al
most the Dist of September that there
had been enough sickness to war
rant the belief that it was yellow few
cr, and on the 9th the people began
to leave the city. 1t was from about
the 18th of August to the Goth OF
September in getting foothold. But
it did get Il foothold and ran its
course. costing Montgomery the lives
of lO2 of its citizens
The epidemic at Jacksonville Origi-
mated with man named Mcconnell
who left Tampa on his way North dur
ing the latter part of July. The pre-
cccdiug fall yellow erhad been rag
ing Tampa and the city was still i'll
quarantine. but Mcconnell had a
clean permit from the Health Board
He felt well and to disappearance was
we'll. On the train a young man oc-
cupicd the same seat with him and
talked with him for three hours
Near jacksonville Mcconnell began
to feel mwell. though no direct symp-
toms Of yellow fever We're apparent
/ y doctor attended him, but did not
detect the nature of the disease until
Il day or two afterwards. His com
pani0n went to work in dry goOd>
store and in week : time was stricken
down with yellow fever. In the
meantime he had given it to every
clerk in the store. Even before it was
known that Mcconnell had yellow fe
yer he had impaired it to many. Thus
the disease spread, and by the middle
of August had assumed the proper
/ lions of an epidemic. We had done
evcrythingw we could to prevent it, anC
the city was ScrupulOusly clean"
There has been in Jacksonville tC
date about 5000 cases and something
over 300 deaths. The fever at Dcca
tur is understood to have originated
from jacksonville refugee, who was
. harhorcd by man named Spencer
who first contracted the disease anC
died. From Spencer may be trace
/ the case of Wilson who died at Wild
wood, Ga. and the two or three case
that were CARED to Louisville, Ky.
The fever at jackson, Miss, it i.
claimed originated from the excava
tons made in laying the foundation
of the new depot building, and the
opening of an old sewer near by. Il
is commended that none of the sick had
/ been cut of jackson for months, but
I perhaps no one can positively say
that none of the people who wert
/ stricken down had not been in contact
with Il refugee from Florida as men.

! that the jackson epidemic owes it
origin to such an accident, rather
than that one to which it is ascribed

Like swift. winged birds?
How large was she?" Why, just tiny thing;
TITS such short time since used to sing
Low sleepy songs and feel her soft arms cling
About my neck.
GLOW old is she2" Why, really, forget;
Just old enough to love and kiss and pet
Only merry little maid, and yet
Not quite child
1t seems but yesterday saw her go
Leading her playmates in laughing row;
If you had met her you would surely know
Her smiling face
You thought her older, more than twelve, you say?
That cannot be until anotherMay
Opens the buds and brings the happy day
That gave her life.

She holds her girish hea Ugh tSyoui OWN
Someone will find her though she goes alone,
You need not fear"
know she's tall and cares more for toys
That's Harry with her, making all this noise;
Why don't he 60 and play with other boys
I'd like to know?

With tender leaves, and all the months between
Have slipped away till she is seventeen

LILLE DEvEREUx BLAKE, who is on lecturing
tour in Wyoming, gives a glowing description OF
her reception there, and Of meetings with persons
prominently connected with the womans suffrage
movement in that territory Among Others she
speaks of an interesting interview with Mrs. Eliza
s. Bovd, the first woman foreman of jury in the
world. and also Mrs. Esther Morris, the first
woman Justice Of the peace who was appointed
when the suffrage law first went into force The
advantage taken of their privilege to vote by the
women of the territory Mrs Blake speaks OF as
follows: "The women of Wyoming, even the
most exclusive all exercise the right OF suffrage
They do not serve on jury, nor do they seek Office
The men outnumber the women in the territory
seven to one and for this reason, perhaps, they
have been little timd in taking any prominent
part in politics. They all spoke of the uniform
courtesy with which they were treated at the pons
and the effect of their enfranchsement is evident
in the laws of the territory Husband and wife
have equal rights in property, and the laws OF aus
tribution are equal There is also law in the
statute book providing that women teachers shall
receive the same pay as men for the same WORK
Several women are employed as engrosslng CLERKS
in the legislature, their salaries, of course beng
the same as those of men doing similar duty IL
is to be hoped that the women OF this favored re-
pion will hereafter make their influence more ae'
lively felt"

NEARLY all papers at the present day print
woman's column. And in the most conservative
of them will appear now and then suffrage notes.
The paper may not advocate it, but in catering to
the requirements of it's readers it realizes the
cessitv of such variety as will necessarily en-
brace this tabooed subject. The enterprising
editor feels that the most intelligent feminine
readers to whom he caters are not to be always en-
tertained by fashion and art notes, recipes for
lemon pie, and directions for tattng work and
knitted lace. If he wants his paper to be abreast
of the times he must tell what some of the worlds
great women are doing. In this way suffrage has
crept into some of the most popular periodicals
The New York Star has opened its pages to the
cause by giving a woman's suffrage column into
the charge of Mr.. Hamilton Wilcox. The Star is
the representative of President Cleveland's adj
minisration in the metropolis and as it is the first
metropolitan daily that has ever opened its col
umns to news Of this nature, it may be regarded
as signal proof of the strength of the suffrage
movement. The Sunday issue in which this cor
umn appears costs three cents copy-Sl.5o
wear. Mr.. Wilcox gives his time and labor gratis,
and any information bearing on the cause will be
thankfully received by him.
