From u private letter written by
an enthusiastic republican Of In-

sucd that Indiana will he solid for

may be deemed necessary TO prevent
the entrance Of yellow fever into
California.
This address is most timely, and
should not be permitted to pass un-
needed. The state lies open to the
attack of yellow fever, especially
upon the South, where we have di-
rect railroad communication with
states lying upon the verge Of the
infected district, and every precau-
ton should be taken to shut out
even the possibility of the pestilence
reaching us.
1t is believed that yellow fever
cannot become epidemic in this
state, but at the same time we can
not afford to run any risks. The
state can better pay an army Of
health inspectors and quarantine
officers, if necessary, to keep yellow
fever out, than to have to deal with
single case Of it within our borders.
There are mysteries about all such
diseases that science has never faith
omed, and the disease might become
epidemic in spite of all that is known
about it at the present time. Pre-
vention is worth more than all the
which the entire medical
faculty has invented or can invent.

The Farmers of the northwest do
not relish the senseless assertions
made by the democratic press and
orators, that they are mortgaged TO
death. They are sensible men and
understand fully that these mort
cages represent not hard times, but
Accommodations made to enterprising
men by capitalists for the purpose of
developing the resources of new
country. They further understand
that had they not been able to Sc
cure money ON mortgage, seven out
of ton of their number would have
been absolutely unable to build
houses and develop their land.
Under the circumstances they feel
resentful at the circulation of stories
calculated to impair confidence in
their solvency, and If we do not
mistake the indications they will
cast their votes against the party
which sees no other way to retain

POINTS POLITICAL.
The Political Position - Seen by
Many OfOur Exchanges.

A letter from an old soldier friend
in Missouri says that the republi
cans are even threatening to carry
that old commonwealth this season
1t is a contamination devOutly to be
wished, but not hoped for.-Eugene
Register.
Robt. Conn, Of this oity, is an
other Of the long list who voted for
Gen. Ben Harrison's grandfather,
and will vote for Harrison and
Morton in November. He voted for
the elder Harrison twice and will be
at the polls with six sons, each of
whom will vote for protection.-Al-
bany Herald.
The New York correspondent of
the Boston Herald cleveland organ
is candid enough to admit that in
August Cleveland stock fell an
average Of 25 per cent, and now in
the third month of the campaign
"there are bets at only 80 to 100, and
some at even money in favor of
Cleveland, showing a marked de-
cline in Cleveland quotations"
The Whatcom Reveille man says
he will send his paper free for one
year to any one in case Cleveland is
elected, the person to whom the
paper is sent paying 81 if Harrison
be elected. The Walla Walla Union
makes the same offer.
A wealthy and eccentric" Wis
consin democrat, w. NJ. Carson,
proposes to "place $4,000 in the
hands of Gov. Rusk to be given to
disabled ex-Union soldiers in case Il
committee of three, to be composed
of two republican circuit judges and
one republican justice of the SUI
preme court of Wisconsin, will say,
upon due consideration, that Cleve-
lands last annual message is q free
trade document"
This precious bit of information
is CLEANED from an exchange whose
veracity is often questioned but
never positively disputed: In an
Iowa town republican club of
seventy-five girls is sumner. They
wear blue flannel skirts and white
blouses, and have vowed to remain
spinsters until Harrison is elected.
In the same town seventy-five young
men have sworn never TO marry un-
til Cleveland is elected. The case
attracts intense interest on account
of its novelty.
The gold fields of the YucOn are
now claimed by the Canadian au-
thorities. 1t may require an inter
commission or retaliation
from Cleveland to deter

Nlr. Vest On Lleveland's Re.elec.
tiOn.

Senator Vest, of Missouri, was
interviewed at Washington on the
political outlook. After expressing
his opinion that President Cleveland
has made some mistakes, he predicts
in the following terms his re'elec-
ton:
"Cleveland will be elected again.
If his administration continues as it
has gone on for two years, and the
country has no financial hurricane
to sweep over it, he will be nomi.
mated and elected no matter who is
the Republican candidate. The
people at large know he is honest
and fearless in his duty. He works
harder than any subordinate under
him, and he wants others to do their
work also"
"What of his Civil Service ideas?"
"As to Civil Service ideas l have
this to say: No man living is more
anxious than myself to see Demo
Gratis in Office. If 1 had my way I
would fill every position of import.
auce with Democrats, and l would
carry the rule very far, even to sub.
ordinate places; but the president
honestly thinks it is his duty to keep
many Republicans in Office, who, in
my opinion, should 60 out, and l
have no right to denounce him and
his administration for this, when I
have not the slightest doubt that he
is sincere in bis conviction, and
thinks this the right spirit and mean.

elected. At any rate, l do not pro.
pose to abandon the 6rst president

This is the milk in q cocoanut;
yet down here in Louisiana We are
frequently treated to the spectacle Of
party men, who are constantly
preaching party discipline, and who
in local matters ever hold the party

he is not a spoils president. The

They are incompetent as leaders and

We can never succeed as a party

Of negro leadership. There are
numbers of counties in this State in
which the negroes outnumber the
whites and count for nothing at the

money has more influence with them
than political principle. The first
thing resorted to to control a negros
vote is the whisky bottle. If that
does not succeed threats accomplish
