The Chinese Restriction Bill.

The democrats are showing themselves to
be shrewder politicians than the republicans
in this campaign. They get the better of
their opponents in about every move that
is made. The republicans were certain that
they had put the democrats Gin a holen
when they rejected the fisheries treaty.
the Presidents fisheries message proved to
them that they had made a mistake. By
rejecting the treaty they gave him just the
opportunity he wanted and he improved it.
His message called out a response from all
classes of citizens, particularly the irish
American citizens, whose votes the republic
ans undertoo k to capture, that was hearty
aud sincere.
When it was rumored that the Chinese
government had refused TO ratify the treaty,
which had been negotiated by the represen-
tatives OF that government and this, the
republicans thought they would get back
their lost popularity on the Pacific coast by
reporting a bill shutting out the Chinese
without a treaty. A republican congress
man of California had a bill prepared which
ha proposed to introduce into the House
Just as soon as it was officially known that
China had rejected the treaty. The demo-
Gratis took time by the forelock as it were,
and introduced q bill making Chinese i'm
migration impossible without waiting for
the official notification, and the House
passed it at once. The republicans were
surprised and chagrined, but they had to vote
for the bill The democrats have strength
ened themselves on the Pacific coast, and
the republicans are in a worse condition in
that locality than ever before. With a
presidential candidate who has a record in
favor of Chinese immigration, it is difficult
to sec how they can reasonably expect to
carry the Pacific coast states. They are
making very poor record in this cam
paign. They will have to make a better
showing than they have yet, or they will
lose what little reputation for shrewdness
they have left.

Tighten the Quarantine.

| There is a chance for the quarantine in
spectors on the incoming trains to be little
more vigilant. A gentleman stated at the
| MORNING NEWS Office that he came In on
the Jesup train yesterday morning from
Walthourville, and that he was not required
to show his health certificate and was only
asked where he got on the train. The
day before he travelled from Way
cross to Walthourville. He was not
acquainted with either the conductor
or the inspector on the Jesup train, and it
is reasonable to suppose that he was IN
known to either of them. The fact that he
boarded the train at Walthourville did not
show that he was not from an infected por-
ton of Florida. Persons are making their
way out of Jacksonville all the time They
seek small station on the line
| of some one of the railroads
and go where they please. or at least seek
| to do SO. The gentleman above referred to
| said that week or SO ago a man crossed
| the country from Jacksonville to Thomas
vile. He was driven out of the latter place
as soon as his presence there was discovered
| He then went to Boston, Ga, and after re-
manning there two days came to Savannah
He reached Savannah six days after he left
| Jacksonville Does this look as if the in
spectors were as vigiant as they should be2
There is only one way to make the quar-
antine effective, and that is for the inspect
ors to prevent any one from entering the
city who hasn't certificate showing he is
from a healthy place, or can prove, in some
other way, that he has not been in the
infected district. Is it not possible to have
a quarantine of this kinda Brunswick and
other places, if reports are correct. have it,
and the same kind of quarantine can be
| had here.
| A loose quarantine costs just as much as an
effective one. If we are to have quaran-
at all, it ought to be so strict that it would
not be possible to slip through it easily.
| The effectiveness of the quaran-
tine depends upon the efficiency
of the inspectors. Every reported
delinquency Of the inspectors should be in
vestlgated, and if the charge against any
one of them is sustained, he should be re-
moved and his place filled by another A
strict quarantine Of a few weeks more may
be of incalculable benefit to the city.

SEA-SURF EPISODES.
The Buoyant Girl with Cork Corset
Diamonds in the Breakers.
Fronn the Pittab1tra Press.


From, the Pittsbur0 Press.
She tripped down TO the foamy edge of the
surf and ran back screaming prettily as the
water ran up over her toes. And all the specta-
tors smiled. And then she ran down again and
danced on one toe and then on the other, and
then on both at once as she got in up to her
ankles Then she plucked up all her courage
and as big wave rolled In she ran to meet it.
IL hopped her bang up against the beach,
knocked her sailor hat into shapelessness, and
as 1t receded drew her out as if she had been a
wooden ball. 1t was almost too much. and she
struggled and wriggled and spluttered. And
while she struggled to get a foothold another
wave seized her and she Tipped over the top of
II, as light as egeshen. Quick as thought
came third, and she danced over the top of
feet she was whisked back.
Then she realized that she was beautifully
floating out to sea, and she sent up a scream
that startled the bathers near her. One OF
them, young and brave and strong, rushed-for
1t was too shallow to swim-to her, seized her
by the shoulder, but her feet would not down,
and, being wise and thoughtful lad, he towed
her iuto shore. She scarcely stayed to say
thank you, and with the red blood of confu-
sion showing in her tanned cheeks, rushed
away to change her garments
And the secret was this: She was pru dent
girl, with proper regard for her safety. She
had taken out the whale bones of her corsets
and introduced cork stays, and had put another
layer OF cork In her stockings. She had mis-
calculated the effect, only to find that while
the cork kept her above water it quite as effect
ually prevented her from getting down.

A phrase which deserves to play some
part in the presidential campaign owes its
origin to a plain old Virginia farmer. who
walked good many miles to seq President
Cleveland in that state the other day. He
eyed the President critically, from head to
foot, and when Mr. Cleveland's shoes came
under inspection, there was an expression
of amazement on the old mans face He
remarked that he expected to see shoes a
yard long, and when the President asked
why, he said: "Well, because Of the way
YOU put your foot down. When it's down,
it's there" Exactly, when it's down it's there.
The republican senators thought so when

The Augusta Conference.

The result OF the Augusta conference
was that people who want to leave Jack
sonvilIe must undergo ten days detention
in the refugee camps, already established
and to be established, before they Will be
permitted 10 60 to places which are willing
to receive them. The decision of the con-
ference was clearly based upon
the action of the Atlanta board
of health, which had concluded
that it would not be wise to receive refugees
direct from Jacksonville. A day or two
ago Atlanta announced that her doors were
open to the refugees, but a sober second
thought induced her to reconsider this an
nouncement There is no fault to be found
with hor for this suddenly developed eau
ton, but there may be those who think that
she was a little too ostentatious in proclaim
ing that her gates were wide open. While
there is not much danger that the fever
would spread within her limits if cases of it
should be developed among the refugees
after reaching her, nevertheless it is prob
ably wiser not to take any risks.
detention of ten days in the refugee
camps will be quite hardship for women
who have children, but doubtless they will
willingly endure it rather than risk carry
ing the fever to the localities
to which they propose to go,
The health authorities Of this city have
decided that they will not admit refugees
here who have not been at least fifteen days
out of Jacksonville. After being discharged
from the camps, therefore, they cannot
come to this city until after five days
There Is no good reason why they should
want to come here at all, since there are other
places to which it would be more advisable
for them to go at this season of the year.
Savannah does not want to even appear
to be Indifferent to the misfortunes
of the people of Jacksonville. She has the
deepest sympathy for them, and is ready to
aid them in every way that she can, but
she does not see any wisdom in endangering
her own health, when by so doing she can
do them no good. The steps she has taken
for her protection she deems necessary. She
is guided by experience, and there Is GER
tainly no better teacher than experience.
The health authorities here should notify
the camps at once that refugees from
them will not be admitted here until five
days after they have left the camp. The
refugees are entitled to this information.
1t might save them great deal Of trouble,
and our inspectors great deal of annoy
ance. If the refugees know they cannot
come here at once, they will not attempt to
do So Indeed, it might not be unwise or
inhuman for us to quarantine against them
during the month of September.

Saved for the Regular Boarcers
From the Phaa delDhia Times.


A traveller, who returned from two weeks
vacation among the Maine watering places, re-
lates an amusing incident that occurred at a
small New England hotel, where he CHANGED to
stop for day or two while journeying to Bar
Harbor. The hotel was small one, and the
principal person in charge of the office was the
daughter Of the proprietor. a buxom lass of
probably twenty summers. When the morning
of departure came, this fair Diana presented the
hotel bill TO the traveller, and it so happened
that neither of them could change a note that
was rendered in payment. In "A gallant way the
traveller who had something of the Don Juan in
street, smilingly offered TO kiss the young lady
and let the change go. she drew herself up
haughtily. I'D like you to know, sir that in this
hotel we don't kiss transients" she replied in
freezing tones such a privilege is only given
to permanent boarders. VIII you take a pros

Tho Case of the Fe.

Our dispatches yesterday stated that there
was a vessel off the Delaware capes with
yellow fever on board. This is not the first
vessel infected with that disease reported
seeking entrance into North Atlantic ports
this season. There have been several OF
| them
A Spanish steamer tried to enter Charles
ton harbor few days ago, and was denied
admittance. She was from Havana, and
was told by the Charleston health authori-
ties that no vessel from Havana would be
admitted to the wharves of that city before
Nov l.
| There is Spanish vessel, the Fe, now at
our quarantine station, where she is being
fumigated. She is from Havana, and
reached the station last Friday, having been
six days on the way.
There is yellow fever at Havana, and
plenty of it. There is more yellow fever
this season on the island of Cuba, outside of
Havana, according to the reports, than
| there has been for long time.
How long is it proposed to keep this Span
ish vessel at our quarantine station before
permitting her to come to the citys There
is report that she is to be permitted to
come to our wharves seven days after the
work of fumigating her is completed. Is it
safe TO permit her to come to the city so
soone This is question which the health
commission ought to consider, and consider
carefully
We are now striving to prevent the fever
from coming in at our back door. Will it
bs wise to take any chances at our front
doors This Spanish vessel may be in a per-
fectly healthy condition, and she may not.
Who can tel9 If she is permitted to come
up the river seven days after being fumi-
gated she will have been out from Havana
only little more than fifteen days when she
reaches our wharves Is 1t not possible for
a ship and her crew to carry yellow fever
infection for a longer period than that?
There is evidence to show that it is.
This Spanish vessel is being fumigated, of
course, but is the fumigation that is done
at our quarantine station the most perfect
that is known to sciences
We call the attention of the health au-
thorities to this vessel because we think
they should give the question of her COM
ing to the city thoughtful consideration
A little longer detention than seven days
may not be of great consequence to her,
but it may be to this city.
