A Health Board Recommended.

Surgeon General Hamilton strongly
recommends a state beard of health for
Florida, with health boards in the different
counties TO cooperate with the state board.
The people of Florida can hardly afford to
ignore this recommendation That state
has suffered severely during the last three
months, not so much from the yellow fever,
which has prevailed in several of her towns,
as from the alarm Of her people and the
prohibitory quarantines which her counties
have declared against each other, and which
other states have established against her
infected places, thus parayzng her bust
ness and bringing many Of her industries to
standstill.
The last legislature of the state was re-
| peatedly urged to provide for state board
Of health, but it did not seem to be i'm
| pressed with the necessity for one Even
| after the legislature adjourned the gov
ernor was requested to call it together again
| for the purpose of creating such board !;
but he seems to have thought that the cost
would be too great, and, besides, it is prob
able that he believed that the legislature
| when 1t was in session would have enacted
the necessary law if it had regarded it as
| important.
OF course it is not certain that if there
| had been a state board it would have kept
the fever ont of the state, but there is
chance that it would. 1t would have had
authority to take greater precautions
| against the introduction of the fever from
| Cuba, and it would have adopted vigorous
measures to stamp it out at Plant City,
where it was known to be nearly all last
winter.
The jurisdiction of the county health
boards does not extend beyond the limits of
their respective countless and it is about inn
possible for them to agree upon any uni
| form regulations for protection against the
fever. If they could act in harmony they
have no authority to enforce regulations
applicable to all parts Of the state
The people should see to it that the legis-
lature that is just now b ing elected is pro
foundly impressed with the importance of
| having state board to deal with all health
matters. That body will meet early next
| spring, and one of its first acts should be n
law for the better protection of the health
of the state.
All the places in other states which
were alarmed by the fever in Florida this
| year viii watch fer the appear
ance of suspicious cases of yellow
fever there next summer, and if any
such cases should occur, quarantine against
Florida will be established at once. 1t viii
be vastly cheaper and far more vie for
Florida to pay the expenses of health
| board tlan to have the experience of this
year repeated, even upon much smaller

A Clerk in O Quandary.
From the baltimore Sim

A clerh in one of the government departments
who is neither one thing nor the other politi-
cally, IS In quandary; He explains his predic-
ament as follows: Some time ago | received
circular inviting me to contribute to the dem
ncratic campaign fund | pondered over this
for several days. and did not know exactly what
to do. | am at work under democratic admin
lstratlon, and my inclination was to make some
slight return for my retention. | had nearly
concluded to make a small donation when re-
celved circular from The republican commit
tee. This turned my thoughts in a new channel
had my choice. OF course. | wish to retain
my position. don't care anything about poli-
tics, hut am very fond of bread If | give to
the democrats and TIE republicans took the
reins again, would rave small chance of con
tinuing to draw salary from the government
On the other hard if | gave my mite to the
republicans, in case of another Jour years of
democratic rule would doubtless receive little
consideration from democratic officials Besides
such an act would seem like ingratitude to me
Before had made up my mind what was best
to co. still another circular Hrrived This last
one came from George William Curtis. and
caied my atteui N C,J the civil service law and
warned me that | would be prosecuted under
its provisions if | contributed money to the
managers Of either party. Her am now still
trying to make up my mind with the three cir
cuiars Before me. | guess ! won't par with
my of my money, and | think that course is
being followed by most of the other clerks
some, Of course, boldly make their contribu-
lions TO the party to which they belong dis
regarding consequences, but think the great
majority are cautious. and therefore hold their
purses tightly"

1t must be very narrowing to the feelings
of the sympathetic republicans to realize
that Mr.. Thurman is again being dragged
around the country" He spoke in Cincin-
natl yesterday, and to-day he will speak in
Lima, o., Chairman Brice's home. If pos
sible, he will be in Rochester, N. Y, to-mor-
row, and next week he will speak in Wheel
ing, w. Va, and in several Ohio towns,
one of them being in the Hooking valley,
where he is greatly respected and loved by
workingmen for services rendered them
some years ago. No doubt the sympathetic
republican organs will repeat their asser-
ton that Mr.. Thurman ought to be at home
in bed, where he could be nursed by his
poor old wife, but Mr.. Thurman doesn't
seem to think so. Like Mr.. Cleveland, he
is declining to accept republican sugges-
tions this year.

1t seems to have been left to the Rev.
Joseph E. Smith, of Chattanooga, to ex-
plain why prohibition was defeated in At
lanta. His theory that it was because the
colored people were not allowed all of their
rights under the civil rights law is one that
has not been advanced heretofore. From
the way in which the colored voters were
petted by both sides in the memorable At
lanta campaign, it is a little strange that
the Rev. Smith should have arrived at the
conclusion stated but the man speaks
like one who is dead sure of what he says.
So probably the only thing left to be done
by the public is to accept his wonderful
theory. The Rev. Smith is considerable of
a genius.

From the Boston Herald I1dD
There is peculiar significance in the fact that
the political prophets of both parties now give
New Jersey to Cleveland. Here is state which,
in proportion to its size contains a larger in
dustrial population than any other state in the
union. TIE hum Of her factories is heard all
over her territory, and their products are those
which are enhanced in price by the tariff. And
yet it is freely conceded that the democrats will
carry the state on the tariff issue. The free
trade bugaboo is unmasked.

Crooked Work in New York.

Mr.. Quay, the chairman Of the national
republican committee, stated, a few days
ago, that he had SO, 900 to assist in secur-
| ing an honest election in New York city.
He offered 81, 900 for the first man arrested
and convicted of attempting to register lille
gally, and $1,000 for the second, etc. 1t
was suspected when Mr. Quay made this
| announcement that his aim was to cover up
his own Illegal schemes
On Tuesday detective arrested a Phila-
delphia repeater, named Geo"g Gordon. He
had registered four times, and he declared
that he was republican. He was convicted
within twelve hours and sentenced to the
peuitentiary for two and half years.
This man Gordon, it is believed, is one OF
| gang of republican repeaters from Phila-
| delphia. The authorities are watching
| them, and will probably have few more
of them in the penitentiary.
The impression in New York is that the
| republicans are preparing to commit frauds
on great scale i'll that city on election
day. As many as 800 negroes are reported
to be colonized in ono assembly district
The republican national campaign commit
tee has, it is understood, full treasury. and
is prepared to pay well for political work

to ard the penitentiary. The republican
managers will have to DO watched closely.
