The suddenness with which an advance in
the price of fuel has been won't to follow a
strike in the "coal regions" has made those
regions" appear TO the needless householder
who puts off buying his coal until winter, the
abodes Of unspeakable terrors. Just where
the coal mines are, and how it happens that
the output is SO susceptible to the influence
Of strikes, few have taken the pains to in
vestigate. The anthracite. or hard coal, SO
generally used in New England, is Penn
sylvania product; SO exclusively a Pennsyl-
yania product that, although the market is
free, without tariffs to keep down foreign
competition, Pennsylvania enjoys practical
monopoly of the market Of New England,
the Middle States and even in the far West
ern country. The trade is practically in the

almost count them on your fngers) which
operate In three regions much talked Of dur
ing the present troubles. Those regions are
the Schuylkill, the Lehigh and the Wyoming.
The list of the principal companies. with
their productions in tons of anthracite for
1887, shows the source and the measure of the
great comfort-producing material of the

The Democratic machine was beaten in
Louisiana and Nichols is the nominee fol-
Governor. The contest, which caused SO
many deaths during the preliminary canvass,
seems to have become very pacific in the
halls of convention. Nichols had 29O votes,
and Governor McEnery none, as his support
ers cast blank ballots. The McEnery men
then moved to make the nomination unani-
nous. This looks as though the Democratic
factions of Louisiana had determined to
shake hands over the bloody chasm, and per-
petuate their rule in the future as they have
in the past. Nichols has in the past gained
a reputation for quite liberal views, espec-
tally as to the treatment of the negroes in
their political relations. As Governor he
will have an opportunity to show whether
the bolt that he led was really step towards
liberalism.

policy which Mr. Cleveland proposed under
cover of most earnest protestations that the

HONoRs FOR HAMILTON.
Georgians Commend His Policy
in Dealing With the Plague.

AUGUSTA, Ca, Sept. 3.-By invitation
of Gov. John B. Gordon, of Georgia, a
conference was held in Augusta to-day
himself. Besides those two there were
present the following: Mayor May,
president of the board of health, Chair
man Young, of the health committee of
the city council, and City Attorney David
son, all of Augusta; Mayor Lester and
DR.. w. +. Brunner, health officer of
Savannah: Mayor Dunn, of Brunswick; f;
DR.. Jerome Cochran, state health officer
of Alabama, and DR.. James r. Reeves,
eX-preSident of the American public
health association and now special COM
missioner appointed by the state board
of health OF Tennessee. The object of
the conference was to consider the stu
alton in Jacksonville and the eXpediency
of allowing the people of Jacksonville
to go to other places, and under what
restrictions.
The following resolutions were re-
ceived by Surgeon General Hamilton
from Atlanta, adopted alta meeting held
there to-day, as the result of the arrival
in that city of special excursion train
from jacksonville:
Resolved, That the board of health of the
operating cordially approves the plan adopt
ed by the surgeon general requiring ten
DAYS quarantine of all persons from infect
ed or suspected districts i'll Florida conven-
iently near to the infected point.
Resolved, That the wholesale removal Eof
persons from the infected district TO popu-
ious cities and aggregation of infected in
dividuals in any part OF this country is re-
garded as hazardous in a sanitary point of
view and is unjust to any community upon
hoy q forced bnpQnG1
probable necessity OF maintaining many OF
them at corporate expense.
After a general discussion and free
expression of opinion by the gentlemen
present, the following resolutions were
adopted by the conference:
Resolved, That this conference cordially
approves the plans of the surgeon general of
the United States marine hospital service, re-
quiring ten days quarantine OF all persons
from infected or suspected places, together
with fumigatiOn and other disinfection of
baggage, etc, from the infected points.
Resolved, That the wholesale remova. OF
persons from the infected districts to pop
ulous cities ana an aggregation of indivldu-
ais from the infected places in any city i'll
this country is regarded as extremely hazard
GUS to such community.
Resolved, That the citizens OF Jackson
vile have not just cause for complaint
against the quarantine regulations as
at present operated, inasmuch as
abundant provision has been and
will be made by establishing
healthful and cleanly camps for the inhabi-
tants of Jacksonville and provision made for
the maintenance of such citizens during de-
tention in camp.
Resolved That in the judgment Of this
conference that, after suspects have been
detained in quarantine camp ten days and
their baggage fumigated under the direction
of the United States government, such per-
sons should be permitted to so to any COM
munity willing to receive them.
The conference adjourned at o'clock,
and Surgeon General Hamilton left to-
night for Camp Perry, st. Marys, Fla.

THE SCHOOL TERM.

The vacation is over, and the pupils
in the public schools are again at their
desks. The young people OF both sexes,
invigorated by the long holiday, have
returned to their books with renewed
Zest and pleasure. For it is mistake
TO suppose that the average American
boy or girl looks upon the school room
with aversion. There are exceptions, it
is true; there are to all general rules;
but our young people, like children of a
larger growth, have pretty fair idea of
what is good for them, and can put a
sufficiently accurate estimate upon the
advantages of education. They are
born to social and material ambitions.
The restless currents which seethe and
boil around them, the necessarily de-
welcoming energies of a new country,
the rise and fall of men, the dis
asters of business and political life,
impress upon early childhood lessons
which, in other countries, are left to
middle age. But in country like this,
where every man is left to push his
own fortune-where boys must carve
the way to fame and wealth by the aid
of their own genius alOne-the mind of
youth is early colored with the hopes
and ambitions of manhood, and is in
ured to that early zest for learning, by
which alone his antieipations can be
realized. lie learns to read and write,
and to form mind and body into definite
shape and purpose. There also he ac-
uuires the meaning of social equality
the influence of mind over matter, and
learns to gauge his real abilities by
comparing them with the capabilities
of other boys.
The parent who permits his child tC
neglect these opportunities chooses be
tween his fealty to an honorable man
hood for his boy and a life of misfor
tune and ignorance. 1t is to be hoped
that there are few such parents in st

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-Mr. Scott, of
Pennsylvania, by unanimous consent,
introduced the following bill, supple
meHting the act approved May 6, 1882, to
execute certain treaty stipulatIons re-
lating to the Chinese:
Section 1 provides that from and after
the passage of this act it shall be unlawful
for any Chinese labOrer, VINO has been or
who may now be, or who may hereafter be
resident within the United States and who
shall have departed therefrom and shall not
nave returned before the passage of this act,
to return TO the United States
Section 2 provides that no certificates of
identity provided for in the fourth and fifth
sections of the act TO which this is a supple
menI shall hereafter be issued, and every GER
tifieate heretofore issued in pursuance thereof
IS hereby declared void aud OF no effect;
and the Chinese laborer claiming admission
by virtue thereof shall not be permitted to
enter the United States.
Section 3 provides that all duties pre-
scribed and liabilities penalties and forfeit
ures prescribed by the second tenth, elev-
enth and twelfth sections of the act TO which
this Is supplement- are hereby extended and
made applicable to the provisions of this
act.
Section provides that all such parts of
the act TO which this is a supplement- as are
inconsistent herewith are hereby repealed.
Mr.. Scott stated that if the report as
to the rejection Of the Chinese treaty
was correct, or if the treaty was here
after ratified, there was nothing in the
bill in violation of any treaty. Mr.. Nor
row, of California, thought the bill was
not complete enough, and was invited
by Mr.. Scott to offer an amendment, but
the bill having been read again, Mr..
Morrow expressed himself satisfied with
it as it stood, The bill was then passed
without division. Among the bills in
trOduced were: To punish persons con-
nected with trusts, and placing cotton
bagging on the free list. The house re-
fused, by vote of So to 81, to consider
the conference report on the sundry
civil bill. An attempt was made by Mr..
Warner, of Missouri, to suspend the
rules and put the Oklahoma bill on its
passage. Mr.. Payson. of Illinois, de-
manded second. On seconding the
motion no quorum voted, and the house
at 5 o'clock adjourned.

OF ITSELF" 1t is certainly question of
labor, and it was for the people to
determine which of the great parties
is the friend of labor. We find
the same high rate of taxation that
our Republican friends found in 1866,
and we find that money must be given
back to the channels of business, must
be restored back to the men who made
1t. We must have more markets, more
people demanding the products of our
TABOR, and that, of course, calls for more
labor to make them, and consequently
for higher wages to the labor
er. Upon this rock we build
our church and the gates of
hell shall not prevail against it. The
Democratic policy has been placed in

ST. PAUL DAY.

Friday, Sept. z, having been named
as ST. Paul day at the Minneapolis Ex-
position. Acting Mayor BICKEL has ac-
cOrdlngIy issued proclamation calling
the attention of st. Pauls citizens. The
Exposition managers have prepared for
the occasion unusual attractions in the
form of an elaborate floral display and
a special musical programme. In ad-
ditiOn to this, the editors of the state
and Northwest will be present by
special invitation.
The GLOBE takes this occasion to unite
with the acting mayor in imprcSsing
upon our citizens that it is duty they
owe to themselves, as we'll as to the peO-
pie of our sister city, to accept the invl-
tation the Exposition managers have
extended to them to visit the Exposition
next Friday. 1t will be an excellent
opportunity, not only to signify our APP
probation of the Exposition as North
western Institution, but also to demon
strate that st. Paul people entertain no
feeling of rivalry or jealousy.
There is another consideration which
should induce large attendance of st.
Paul people at the Exposition next
Friday. Whenever we have had
special Minneapolis days az our ice
earnivals or state fairs, the Minneapolis
people have always turned out in large
crowds. We certainly ought to be as
generous and neighborly as our friends
up the river. By all means, then, let
there be a good turnout of st. Paul
people on st. Paul day at the Expo
sition. We are assured they will re-
ceive cordial welcome, and that the
entertainment prepared for us will fully
compensate for the time devoted toy visit
| ing the Exposition.

Thirty-Seven New Cases Of Yellow Jack

Georgians Commend Surgeon General
Hamilton and His Action in Deal
ing With the Plague.

JACKSONVILLE. Fla, Sept. 3.-There
were thirtY-seven new cases of yellow
fever reported to the board of health to-
day. There were two deaths, DIR. WI.
Baldwin and George Tyler, a clothing
salesman for P. Fischer. Total cases
to date, 295; total deaths to date, Sc.
The. following is list of the
new cases reported to-day: Hattie
Ferry, Mrs. Ferry, Herman Platte, Mrs.
James O.. Phannel and child, James A.
Dairy, Mrs. NJ. G. Corwin, Frank Cor
win, George Corwin. George Cole,

Riley, John Hedlin, w. w.

The new cases reported to-day are nu-
meroHs, but it is now certain that sew
eral physicians are making reports to
the board of health, asserting that the
posting of yellow flags at patients
gates and publishing the fact
that they have yellow fever
has injurious effect in frighten-
ing them. These physicians tell pa
tients that they only have little bilious
attack, but treat them for yellow fever.
They say the disease frightens more to
death than it kills. 1t is now believed
that the total number of cases OF fever
not reported is large. The board OF
health are indignant at the
NEGLECT OF THE PHYSICIANS
to comply with the law. Some of the
conspicuous offenders viii probably be
prosecuted. The failure to stamp out
the disease in it's incipiency was un-
doubtedly due to the neglect of physi-
clans to report the first suspicious cases
promptly to the board of health. The
press has been very unfortunate during
the past few days. To-day only two
members of the Times-Union editorial
staff are left on duty. The city editor
has four children sick.
The announcement was made to-day
that the Florida Central IL Peninsula
railroad in connection with the Louis
vile IL Nashville will take refugees
in parties through to Nashville
without detention. Many will probably
go by this route during the coming
week. 1t is difficult to get information
without trains in the future. Much unss
certainty prevails among people who
desire to get away. 1t Is estimated that
$1,000 people are vet in the city.

ELLSWORTH, Me-, Sept. 3.-A CORE
spondent to-day obtained Mr.. Blaine's
views on the fishery policy as follows:
The fishing season is over. Nearly all
the American vessels have returned,
and Canada will have none to operate
upon until the summer of 1889. In the
meantime anything she may do is mat
ter of supreme indifference to the
fisherman. Therefore it is bet
ter not to clothe the present
president with any additional
powers, since he has shown his
utter ineompetency to deal with the
general subject. But let him carry out
the present law, as he is bound to do,
and this alone may bring Canada to her
senses and secure us justice at her
hands. For Republicans to vote for the
bill reported by Mr. Belmont's commit
tee in the house would be confession
by them that the presidents refusal to
carry out the present law was Justified,
and would put a power IN hrs hands
which he would WELD for partisan puf-
poses. lt is much better to let the mat
ter lie over till the new administration
shall come in, which Will be bet
ter prepared to handle the matter,
free from the excitements of our
pending political contests, and in ample
time to protect every interest. 10 allow
the president now to stop the export
business of Canada through the United
States would seriously interfere with
several of our home transportation
lines, especially those leading to Port
land, and corresp0ndingly depress the
entire commerce of that port. 1t would
also afford Canada pretext for inereas-
ing the demandsin retaliation for such
Inhibition. and render more difficult the
general settlement by negotiation. The
rights of the Pacific coast should also
be remitted to the new administration.

MIDDLE BASS ISLAND, Lake Erie,
Sept. 3.-Shortly after 1 o'clock the
yacht Sigma, with scores OF colored
flags flying from her rigging. steamed
into the middle of the bay and the cot
tagers gathered ON the pier. Gen. and
Mrs. Harrison shook hands cordially
with them and repeatedly expressed
their thanks for the hOspitalities and
courtesies that had been shOwered upon
them. The party, comprising Gen. and
Mrs. Harrison, G. G. Reynolds, owner
of the Sigma; Judge Wood and daugh-
ter, of indianapolis: Mr.. and Mrs. G.
maker. of the Middle Bass club; Hon.
chief Justice; Judge Cummings and
daughter, G. A. Taylor, of Bal
timore; and Private Secretary
Miller and representatives of the two
press associations, We're then rowed
out to the Sigma, the cottagerS cheering
heartily and waving their handker-
chiefs. AT 2 O'Clock the anchors weighed
and amidst renewed cheers and the
booming of small cannon the Sigma
slowly glided away. Gen. Harrison
stood bare-headed in the stern and
bowed continuously until the boat had
rounded the point, while Mrs. Harrison,
with a suspicious moisture in her eyes.
stood beside him waving handker-
chief in each hand. In conversation she
said that she would gladly have re-
manned at the island for another week,
as originally projected, had not impor-
tant business compelled the generals
return to indianapolis.
The Sigma arrived at Toledo shortly
after 5 O'Clock, having made the run of
forty miles i'll trifle over three hours.
The lake was as still as pond, and the
trip delightful one. No public an
nouncement had been made of the time
that the party would reach Toledo, and
consequently there was no crowd at the
dock. Open carriages were in waiting,
and the general and Mrs. Harrison, with
their Indianapolis friends, were driven
to the residence of William Cummings,
whose guests they will be until the
morning. Tonight a private reception
was given in their honor. They Will
leave for home at 1920 tomorrow morn
ing, going via the Wabash to Peru, then
via the Lake Erie d Western to Indian
apolis. Demonstrations are expected at
Defiance, Fort Wayne, Peru and other
DOiDtS.
