THE YELLOW FEVER.

number of deaths from yellow fever
up to eighty. There are sixteen new
cases reported up to this hour, max
ing the total to date GA. Over 500

nurses came from Charleston today,
but the supply is still far below the

in generously from all quarters, but
every penny is needed, as there are

Mr.. j. Z. JOHNSON, the prOhibi-
bition candidate for Governor, and
Rev. d. c. Kelley addressed a crowd
of between one and two hundred peo-
pie from the pavilion in the park
Wednesday afternoon. \ number of
ladies occupied seats on the stand.
Mr.. johnson made very good speech
for a beginner in that line. Mr.. Kel-
ley apparently started out only to
make a few remarks by way of
rounding up, but he soon became
warmed up with his subject and
managed to get in a political speech
of something like an hour. 1t was
devoted chiefly to abuse of both the
old parties. He enumerated various
evils which no one can deny do ex-
list, and attributed their existence to
the old parties, such as election frauds,
trusts, monopolies, alien land owner
ship, ETC., as well as the liquor traffic.
While DIR. Kelley and all others who
are going off after this third party de.
fusion would like to make people be.
lieve that the success ofthe prohibition
party will correct all these evils, Dr.
Kelley was wise enough not to make
any assertion to that effect. The pro
hibition party is striking at but one
of these evils. Now wouldn't it be q
pretty spectacle to put this great gov
eminent in the hands of a party with
but one idea-one principle? Some
of these evils are the result oS the
mate meanness Of human nature, and
not,of partisan rule or misrule. They
are the result of mans avariciousness
together with his greed forSocial and
political power, and any party with

single principle would beimpotent to

single principle would beimpotent to
remedy them. If we thought the
supremacy of the prohibition party
could or would remedy existing evils,
we would willingly support it, but
the prohibition party can never
achieve success, and if it could, it
could not remedy these evils. We
believe that the Democratic party of
fers greater assurance of good govern
ment, that its tendencies are toward
greater good to greater number, and
that its power and capacity to sub
serve the best interests of all the peo-
pie of this country are infinitely SUI
perior to any other political organiza-
ton which has ever existed upon this
continent, and any man who leaves
it to follow after this willapus walli-
pus of a third party is but pursuing
an airy phantom without the faintest
shadow of a substance. The old party
has its faults, we are free to admit,
but we love it still, not for its faults,
but for the grand principles that give
it perpetual existence notwithstand-
ing the faults. We are willing to
fight wrongs and evils wherever they
exist, but believe that the most effect
i've place to do it is inside the party
lines. .l. ia

Fever at Decatur, Ala.

A. ID. Spencer, fruit dealer at De-
catur, Ala, died Tuesday of what was
supposed to be yellow fever, although
the local physicians claim that it was
not yellow fever. The news created
serious fears and apprehensions at
other cities which have suffered from
this plague in past years. News was
received here over the wires Thurs
day that several other deaths have
occurred at Decatur. If this should
ho confirmed. Memphis, Chattanooga,
and many other places will have
good cause for alarm. 1t will be
nearly two months yet before the
occurrence of frosts in the South
heavy enough to check the disease.
LATER.
A later dispatch states that the
report of spread of the disease at
Decatur was unfounded. The Ste
phens case is the only one there so

SOME of our exchanges have been
censuring Col. Patterson for having
little or nothing to.say of Gov. Tay-
lor in the speeches he is now making
over the State. If one of these editors
will hear Col. Patterson once he will
soon see that the speaker has only
two little time to present the ques'
tions involved in the national con-
test, and these questions properly
belong to his canvass. Let Gov.
Taylor and the.legislative candidates
lay the tariff and other national ques-
tions aside and turn their attention
solely to state issues. These ques-
lions belong to them, and not to the
electors and Congressional aspirants.

At 1:2O the cavalry escort. with Major
General SchOheld at its head, came to a
halt beside tbs old Lee mansion, and soon
afterwards the rest Of the cOFtegs, advanc-
ing slowly to the music Of the military fu-
neral diFge. emerged from the city of the
dead and broke up In groups among the
scattered trees When the booming cannon
announced the passage Of the cortegs
through the grounds g squad of police ap-
peared and kept the immediate neighbor-
hood OF the graves free FROM intru-
sion. The procession made its way to the
front, the cavalry and infantry formed a
hollow square, the artillery of the escort
breaking from the line and passing 9ut OF
sight to the lett. and came IN aloI g the
loot OF the hill, where the guns were un-
lmbered.
Eight sergeants Of artillery then lifted
the casket from the caissOR aud bore il to
the mouth Of the open grave, placing it
there upon rods ready to be lowered to its
resJlng place. After a moment of Teverent
silence the clear voice of the bishop-eIect
was heard atteTing Words OF blessing

faithful ind rest, doign TO bless this

rejoice IN Thee with Thy saints; through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen" With
sprig of fir plucked from a neighboriug
branch, holy water was sprinkled ever the
grave, and the caslyet was lowered.
The regular burial service. benin
ming with the Canticles of Zach

the chanting of the De Py.9fuHdis
by choir of Dominion priests, brought the
religious features of the obseauies to an
end. The priests stood aside while the
widow came a step forward, and for one
brief moment looked upon the casket
which held her beloved dead As she
turned away other mourners paid their
tribute of love and respect, and then, at a
signal, the artillery fired q salute of
seventeen guns. The Loyal Legion moved
up IN line and looked in upon the still
uncovered casket, and then filed away.
