Sensational kenorts.

Some of the Florida refugees who have
gone to northern and western cities, and
who have been interviewed by ne wspaper
reporters, have made statements about the
condition Of affairs in that state which are
hardly justified by the facts. In Thursdays
New Y ork Tribune, for instance, an allege /
refugee from Gainesville, Fla, is reported
as ssying that the panic which followed the
announcement that the fever was epidemic
in jacksonville lasted about a week, and
that during that time fully 10000 people
left the state. 1t is quite safe to say that
not one-half that number has fed from
F,orida since the outbreak of the fever.
There is always tendency to eraggeraue in
times of danger, and many of the stories
that are finding their way into the public
prints relative to the fever scare have only
very slight foundation. A good many
people, it is true, have left Jacksonville
since the epidemic began, but the number is
probably nearer 1000 than $4,000.
Comparatively few people have left any
other place than Jacksonville, because there
has been no reason for doing so. There is
fever Mt McClenny, Tampa and Manatee,
and, perhaps, in one or two other small places
in the neighborhood of the latter place, but
there has been no very noticeable move
ment of people from that part
Of the state. The larger towns, with
the exception of Jacksonville, have not
been attacked by the disease, and it Is quite
generally thought they will not be. OF
course the inhabitants of them are not
without apprehension, but they are not so
alarmed that they neglect business, or think
seriously of leaving their homes They
have taken such precautions as they think
are sufficient to guard them against the
fever, and unless their towns are actually
invaded by the scourge they will not be-
come refugees.
The statement said to have been made hy
DIR. Gray, OF Palatka, while having his bag
gage funiGatcd at the Chicago health office,
that the fever would soon reach st. Angus
tine, and that it would spread throughout
tao entire south during the fall, is not JUST
lied 10y any known facts, and is. therefore,
iuexcusable. Unless DIR. Gray has some
facts which lead him to think the fever
will he spread over wide area
Of country, he should not in
dulge in alarming predictions. He would
hardly admit that he left Palatka becau9e
he was afraid that the fever would reach
that city. What the pu lie wants is the
truth. There is no desire for sensational
stories and predictions

An UriCsr Charge.


s. far as we have observed, the Chicago
Tribune is tire only paper in the country
that mas been 50 base as 70 iDsinua;e
that the democrats ere more concerned about
the effect TIN. the jacksonville epidemic will
have upon the election in Florida than they

peopl- ~ tho stricken city. 1t says thst
the alarm Of some of tie southern
news apers lest the democrats may lose
Flori "a by reason Of the present
visitation of yellow fever is infinitely
amusing" Wha: southern newspapers are
showing alarmI The Tribune does not
name them. which is pretty good evidence
that there is none. The Tribune doubtless
pretends there are some, in order that il
may have an excuse for saying that cleo
lions are unfairly conducted in Florida, and
that the republicans are not permitted TO
have a free ballot and fair count, but
tina. they will have chance for fair cleo
ton this year. because so many democrats

The fever in Florida Is almost wholly con-
fined TO Jacksonville, and thoss who have
left the state are chiefly from that city. 1t
is probable that there are as many republi
can as democratic refugees. The epidemic,
therefore. II il should continue until the
middle of November, would not make any
dife euce in the result OF the election. Out
side Of Jacksonville the campaign is being
conducted with considerable vigor, and the
Tribune can rest assured that. whether the
epidemic in thai city IS over before the

The Tribune says that the democratic
newspapers may we'll pray for stay of the
scourage lin time to allow their brethren
to get back, and set their familiar machin-
cry at work for DISTINGUISHING republicans.
There will be prayers, of course,
for stay of the scourge, but
prayers will Re prompted by profound
sympathy for the people of sister city and
by the wish that they may be speedily re-
lieved of great scourge that is desolating
their homes and running their business.
The Tribune may not be able to appreciate
any higher motive for prayers than the one
TO which it directs attention. and it knows
that that motive in this instance has
no existence, because the republicans
have as free a ballot and as fair
a count in Florida as they have in
Illinois. 1t is to be regretted that there is
a newspaper anywhere in this broad land
that is capable Of expressing tie belief that
the dem 2crats of Florida are more con-
cerned about the success of their party than
about the welfare of their unfortunaf ia
fellow-citizens of jacksonville.

Canada Less warlike.

The English and Canadian newspapers do
not contain % nucn bluster and 80 MANY
threats when speaking o; the Presidents
retaliatory message Il tie fsferies question
as they did Immediately after the M sage
wns made public. They arc wise enough to
see that this country Las something to COM
pam of in connection with tie fisheries,
and that their talk about tho determine
ton of their respective governments
70 maintain the position which they
have taken. even tn the extent OF engaging
in hostiiities, is simply nOase g
Ia the event Of a war Canada would of
course receive some assistance from Eng
land, but it would not lie sufficient to enable
her to meet this country on anything like
equal terms. The United states has 60 ,00O.-
900 Of people, with unlimited wealth and
vast resources Canada has 5000, 600, scat
tered along an immense frontier that
is wholly unprotected. Her wealth
and other resources for carrying on war
are limited Without Englands help she
could not maintain a war with such power
as this very long. And what help would
England be able to render her, English
ironclads Nigh; threaten our seaports, and
might, perhaps, do them some injury, but
England has about all she can do 10 look
after her interests at home. Ireland
is only waiting for favor
able opportunity to revolt against
English rule. and she would not remain
passive long in the event Of trouble between
this country and England. Every other
nation of Europe would view without con-
Germ E1gland's humiliation. Therefore,
England could not reasonably expect aid or
sympathy from any one of them
1t is about as certain as anything can be
that if congress gives the President the
authority he asks for, he will retaliate If
Canada infiicts additional wrongs upon cur
fishermen. If England and Canada think
that the retaliation message meant nothing,
and was simply intended to influence voters
in the present campaign, they are mistaken,
and will discover tina. they are, if they insist
upon enforcing their Interpretation of the
treaty of 1918. The President could not
afford 10 hesitate about authorizing retalia-
tory measures if he wanted to, and it is
quite certain that he would not want to.
But Canada isn't going to afford any OPP
portunity for trouble. Some of the wisest
and most influential of her citizens believe
that she has not dealt justly with this
country. With her own people divided, and
the certainty that the President would re-
taiate, she will be very careful how she
treats American fishermen.

The Disappointed.

There are songs enough for the hero,
Who dwells on the height of fame.
| sing for the disappointed
For thpse who missed their aim.
| sing with fearful cadence
For one who stands in the dark,
And knows that Dis last best arrow
Has bounded tack from the mark,
sing FOR the breathless runner,
The eager, anxious soul,
Who falls with his strength exhausted,
Almost in sight of the goal
Fer the hearts that break in silence
With sorrow all unknown,
For those wno need companions,
Yet walk their ways alone.
There are songs enough for the lovers
Who share loves tender pain;
/ sing for one whose passion
Is given all in vain.
For those whose spirit comrades
Have missed them on the way
| sing with a heart o'ertiowing
This minor strain to-day.
And | know the solar system
Must somewhere keep in space
A prize for that spent runner
Who barely lost the race
For the pain would be imperfect,
Unless it held some sphere,
That paid for the toll and talent
And love that are wasted here.

1t seems that considerable trouble was
experienced the other day al the republican
state convention in Minnesota in formulate
ing tariff plank. A special to the New
York Herald stated that a number of the
members Of the committee on resolutions
favored repudiating the tariff plank of the
Chicago platform, and adopting Congress-
man Knute Nelson's views, which are good
democratic views, on that ia stlon. Our
dispatches yesterday convey tho impression
thai the convention had as little as possible
to say in favor of high protective tariff.
When republicans disagree on their
tional platform, the chances for the tri-
umpl Of tariff reform are increased.
