The City's Querant tine.

Reports arefheard once in while that
some of the quarantine inspectors are not
as vigilant as they should be- We do not
know how much foundation there is for
these report but it is quite certain that it
that the quarantine shall be as strict as it
is possible to make it. If the reports con-
tinue, feeling of uneasiness will take the
place of the feeling of security, and public
sentiment will demand an investigation of
the reports.
1t may be difficult to get in all cases
reliable and conscientious mon for in
spectors, but they can be had, and must be.
The authorities should not rest satisfied
until they know that they have competent
and conscientious men in all places of
responsibility. Quarantine is something
like chain which is no stronger than its
weakest link. One or two worthless in
spectors may nullify the work of all the
good ones.
If there are incompetent and good-for-
nothing men among tho inspectors, let them
be weeded out, and il there is law to punish
them for neglect Of duty, let the law be
enforced to the fullest extent.
There may be inspectors who are willing
to do their duty, but who do not know
how. They should be instructed. 1t will not
do to simply ask traveller bound for this
city whether he is from any place against
which quarantine has been established. He
should be required to show that he is not
from any quarantned place
The city is now very healthy. If the
quarantine is what it ought to be, there is
every reason to believe that it will con-
tinue healthy. The people look to the au-
thorities for quarantine that affords pro-
! lection.

Two Views of Mr.. Blaine.


Mr.. Blaine is the central figure Of the cam
paign on the republican 81 10 He is expect
to announce for the republicans the issues
on which the fight will be made, and it is
by his efforts that they hope to win. Moth
ing more plainly shows this than the man
ner in which the republican organs refer to
HIM. Here are some of the terms which
they have applied to him lately: TIE
U@crowned King" 1.-The Typical Ameri-
can" Our Henry of Navarro" The
Leader Of His Party The First Ameri-
can" ~ he Greatest Living Sta .esman."
Tee New York Tribune was one of the
organs which became hystercal when Mr..
Blaine landed in that city the other day. 1t
proclaimed with shout that he had won,
by many years of unfaltering public
service, higher place in the affection and
honor of American citizens than any ex-
allied official. Then wripging in anguish
its hands as they caught the hot tears at
coursed each other down its cheeks, it
sobbed that Mr.. Blaine. had been pursued
by malice and SANDER as scarcely any
othor American citizen had been, and
though accused for years of the Lasest self
oofAIlIS III MS every aCJ UT WORK, ne IOCk
his place in history as the one citizen of this
great nation who had voluntarily refused
the presidency
1t would not do for the editors of some of
these organs to search their files some years
back, for references to the "uncrowned
king" Under the same management as
at present, the Tribune, which now slob-
bers upon Mr.. Biaine's immaculate shirt
front, at a time when Mr.. Blaine was not
needed to pull a republican presidential
candidate through, said: "Mr. Blaiue's re-
cord in railway matters grows darker as it
is examined. He has never yet given any
explanation of his conduct in peddling stock
in the Fort Smith and Little Rock railroad
among his neighbors in Maine. He has now
an opportunity to rise to an explanation Of
his extensive operations in Union Pacific Z.
ID. stock. 1t may be nobody's business how
he has become a millionaire on congress
mans pay, but it is the business of his
constituents and of the country to know
how the speaker of the house of repro ,enta-
tives came into this rich railroad specula-
ton"
Here we have two very interesting pict-
ures, Which one correctly represents Mr..
Blaine?

from London LUe.
The following story is told in the newly-pub.

some More"

From the Louisville Colwier-JourndL.
Perhaps you have heard without remark,
Or read in ancient lore,
And neer u moments thought gave to
Those simple words, ''Soine more"
Just dance child upon your knee
Till water from each pore
Runs down from off your face,
AND still it says, Some more"
The fast, gay youth, who firt with girls
or high estate and lower,
Is he contelted with bis prey?
Oh, no; he socks Some more"
At college, though he 10 allowed
In dollars daily four.
For horses, wines and suppers late,
He finds he needs Some more"
The banker as he sits at home,
The merchant in his store
Their riches count, vet still they crave
And strive to make "SOmc more"
And when they millionaires become
Their passion is not Ger,
They scheme and bargain ION the street"
To shear the lambs Some more"
Then Caesar, too, in ages past,
Who filled the world with gore,
Though he possessed the earth himself,
He sighed to conquer more.
The aged man, bent down with years,
Or by affection sore,
Still cllngs to life aud Graves the gift
OF health and days Some more"
And so it is. The old the young,
The wealthy and the poor
Contentment seldom fillS their hearts,
All cry: "Some morel Some more"

The 4 lliance Convention.

The Farmers Alliance is getting to be
pretty big institution in this state 1t is
estimated that at least Il, 900 farmers are
members of it, and the number is steadily
increasing. The Macon convention was
very well attended At least 200 delegates
were present, and among them were many
Of the leading farmers of Middle Georgia.
Their meetings were secret, and all the
public knows of their proceedings was what
they furnished to the press. They passed
strong resolutions condemning the bagging
trust, but it does not appear that they made
any practical suggestions looking to the
defeat of the trust.
Is not the Alliance making mistake by
putting the seal of secrecy upon its proceed
ingsl 1t is quite certain that the farmers
of Georgia are not going to do anything
Of which the public should be kept in the
dark. The object Of the Alliance is to en-
able the farmers to better their condition.
1t promises to aid them in getting hotter re-
turns for the products of their farms, and
i'll buying their supplies to better advan-
tags. Il is certainly TO be hoped that this
promise will be realized, and that the farm
ers will find the Alliance helpful in other
ways, but how are the intorestsof the farm
ers to be promoted by secrecy!
The intelligent farmers of the state who
were not present at the Macon convention
would like to know what occurred there.
and the press would like to furnish them
with the information, but their desire,
although very proper one, cannot be graft
fled because of the secrecy with which the
convention was conducted. There may be
business now and then which the Alliance
can transact to better advantage with
closed doors, but it is doubtful if it is ad-
visable for the Alliance to shut out the
| public from all its proceedings.

is Mr.. Blaine going to try to crawfish out
of his defense of trusts! A republican or
gan says there is the best authority for
saying that the CONSTRUCTION" put upon his
passing remark" at Portland will be eff
fectually exploded by his subsequent
speeches in the canvass; and IL was stated
in q special to another organ he other day
that when Mr.. Blaine go,s before an aGdi-
eacc which is in sympathy with him, he
sometimes lets his feelings lead him into
saying what he af;erWard regrets" 1t
looks very much as il Mr.. Blaine intended
to get out of the unpleasant position in which
BIO has placed himself. But can hef He
said plainly: TRUSTS are largely private af-
fairs, with which neither President Glove
lard, nor any private citizen has
any particular right TO intefere."
Unlike his Florence and Paris let
tiers, this admits of but one construction.
Mr.. Blaine apologies for and defends trusts.
and he can't explain away his words,
shrevd as he is.

The New York Times states that the en-
gineer officer at Washington has discovered
an item in the river and harbor bill "that
fairly made his eyes bulge out" 1t is an
appropriation of S25, 5000 for the i'm
provement of little harbor in Maine
Very clearly 5000 was intended, but in
vestigation showed that the error was also
in the enrolled bill. 1t is gratifying to
know that so large a sum will not have to
be spent on the harbor, as tire Secretary of
War can exercise discretion in the expendi-
lures authorized by the bill. That the mis-
take should have occurred is astonishing
when it is considered how many hands the
bill went through. 1t was carefully read
by the engrossing clerks at the government
printing office: it was read a half dozen
times by proof readers, and supposed to
have been carefully read by the cLairlnen
of the house and senate committees on en-
rolled bills, by Mr. Carlisle and Senator
ingalls,, and by President Cleveland and
Chief of Engineer Casey and his assistants.

Mr.. Blaine is very particular about the
publication Of his speeches since no returned
to this country. He gathers the reporters
around him when be has finished talking.
and sees t. it that he is correctly reported.
Sometimes, it is said, he marks out things
he said and inserts Others that he didn't
say. His reference to trusts was correctly
reported, ard according to tho above state
nient, was submitted to him before being
sent out. This does not put the matter in
any better light. to say the least.

AS has been remarked previously, Master
Workman Powderly, of the Knights of
Labor, does not indorse Mr. Blnines views
of trusts. Trusts" says Mr.. Powderly,
"are menace to the welfare of the public
generally, and are organized in the interests
of the few, to control the output, limit the
production and smother small aggregations
Of capital in the same business or crush
them out entirely. They should be wiped
out Of existence as speedily as possible. 4"
These remarks are so sensible, aud are in
such striking contrast with those Of Mr..
Blaine, that no harm viii be done to fix and
keep public attention upon them.

DO FIGURES LIEP

An Example in Arithmetic that Puz-
zled Two Women and a Merchant
from Spence's Paper.
Do figures lie? Let us see.
Two women had thirty chickens each, which
they took to market. They agreed to divide
equally the proceeds of their sale.
One sold her chickens two for 81, getting for
her thirty chickens SIS.
The other sold Lers three for ST. getting for
her chickens $40.
This made S25 realized on the sixty chickens.
The merchant called to divide the money said:
''Yoi sold your thirty chickens two for 81,
and you sold your thirty chickens three for 81
That makes SIXTY chickens at the rate of five
for So Well, Ave into sixty goes twelve times
twice twelve is twenty four. That makes 1921
your chickens brought"
But, as shown above, the women actually had
SS5 in their pockets And yet the merchants
figures right.

When the republican platform was
formulated at Chicago, the New York Tri-
bune professed to ''see Mr.. Blaine in it,"
here is what it said: ''The convention has
put Mr.. Blaine into its platform, whatever
candidates it may nominate. The princi-
pies for which he stands, the ideas which
make him strong with the nation, make
this grand platform lasting memento of
Lis brave spirit and wise leadership" If
Mr.. Blaine was ever in the platform, as the
Tribune states, he has taken himself out of
it. But in defending trusts, he has done
what his party would like, but is afraid to
do. Mr. Blaine Is a republican.
