THE DISAPPOINTED.

There are songs enough for the hero,
who dwelis on the height of fame;
sing for the disappointed
For those who miss their aim.
! sing with fearful cadence
For one who stands in the dark,
And knows that his last, best arrow
Has bounded back from the mark.
l sing for the breathless runner,
The eager, anxious soul,
Who falls, with his strength exhausted
Almost in sight of the goal.
For the hearts that break in silence
With a sorrow all unknown,
For those who need companions,
Yet walk their way alone.
There are songs enough for the lovers
Who share loves tender pain;
sing for the one whose passion
Is given all in vain.
For those whose spirit comrades
Have missed them on the way;
sing with heart o 'erfiowing
This minor strain to-day.
And I know the solar system
Must somewhere keep in space
A prize for that spent runner
Who barely lost the race.
For the plan would be imperfect
Unless it held some spere
That paid for the toll and talent
And love that is wasted here.

LATE REPENTANCE--AWFULLY In
A HURRY.

So strange to understand why
elections were so holly contested in
this state two, four, six and
eight years ago,-money spent .
whiskey dispensed; the laws
evaded and violated,-yet nothing
done by the courts or officers OF the
state. The party in power held on to
the majorities and the offices were
theirs. The scene shifts in 1885,
the party goes out and the offices
are abont to be filed with men of
another party. The cry, they come,
fills the party in power and defeat
with alarm the courts wake up, the
officers are on the watch,-frauds
are to be investigated, violations of
law punished, men arrested, wit
nesses called by the hundreds every
where, juries gravely charged,-pow-
er TO be sustained and party control
maintained. 1t may be all right, but
it is hard to understand why a de-
feated party should be more sincere
in complying with their sworn duties
than party was with II working
majority. Guess it's all right; this
is a New Year, new era in politics,
old leaves turned Oyer,-old vices
discarded aud new virtues practiced
Repentance is better late than never.
Weep, Sneeze. Snuff it, and you
will see where the political Moses oil
West Virginia politics were when the
light OF conscience went out.

THE DANGEROUS sMUGGLERs.

Although the care exercised has kept
out the fever this year, Florida is still
menaced with danger. The source is
through the smugglers who ply between
Cuba and Florida. The peninsuiar coast is
sinuous, indented by innumerable bays and
inlets. The vessels used by the smugglers
are of light draft, and can slip into the shall
low bayous where a revenue cutter could
not begin to get near the shore. The coast
guard is insufiA ent to prevent smuggling,

wrote to Surgeon General Hamilton on this
head. His letter was transmitted to the
various agents of the bureau He asserts
that there is practically no protection
against smugglers, the Government having
only one tub, as he calls it, to protect the
long coast of Florida. He saws there are
thousand and one smugglers plying be-
tween Cuba and our shores, and that thew
could be caught daily if there were sufi-
cient coast guards and armed vessels. That
matter has, however, nothing to do with the

YELLOW JACK F0ILED
How the Dreaded ScOurge Has Been
Wholly Kept Out of Florida.
THE MARINE HOSPITAL SERVICE.
Officers Stationed at Every Port and Even
Sent Abroad.
STILL DANGER THROUGH sMUGGLERS

A dispatch from Washington conveys the
information that Surgeon General Hamil-
ton, of the United States Marine Hospital
Bureau, and Health Officer Porter, of
Florida, express the opinion that Florida
and probably the entire southern coast will
this year escape the yellow fever.
After the great epidemic last year there
was general fear, both among the residents
of Florida and other parts of the country,
that the peninsula would be again scourged
this year. Surprise has been frequently e1-
pressed in the North because the fever has
not reappeared. Light was thrown on tie
matter yesterday by information given to
THE DISPATCH by DR.. Paul NJ, Caring
ton, the surgeon of the Marine Hospital
Service located in this city.
81 believe" he SAID, ''that the yellow
fever has been kept out of Florida by the
measures taken and the vigilance exercised
by the United States Marine Hospital SER
vice with the cooperation of the local au-
thorities. The Marine Hospital service
took charge last year of the relief measures
in Florida, but not much could be done
until after the epidemic was over. My in
formation is derived chiefly from the reports
sent to me from Washington. Health
Officer Porter, referred to in the Washing
ton dispatches, was formerly Assistant Sur
geon General in the army, with the rank of
captain. He resigned and volunteered for
work in Florida,

IT COMES FROM CuRA.

yellow fever is brought into Florida
from Cuba and other Southern countries.
If men or goods can be kept out of this coun-
try from infected districts there will be no
yellow fever here. To do this the Marine
Hospital Service has directed its attention
during this year. The work has been diff
cult, but it has been well done. Florida
has a long seacoast and there are many
ports to watch. The bureau has a medical
officer stationed regularly at Havana. There
Is always more or less yellow fever in Cuba.
The officer is connected with the United
States Consulate at Havana, and persons or
goods which come from infected districts
and desire to 60 to United States posts, can
not secure clean bill OF health unless the
officer agrees to it.
"At every Florida port the Marine Hos
pital Service has kept medical officer or
an acting assistant surgeon. Besides that,
there is large staff of sanitary inspectors.
who are medical men. The work of the
bureau during this summer has been prin-
cipally to keep close watch. Whenever a
suspicious case which looks like yellow
fever is reported, an inspector has been sent
to investigate. No genuine case has been
found anywhere in the State during 1889.
1t was rumored last July tina. yellow fever
had appeared at Tampico, Mexico. The
United States service even went so far as to
SEND to that place an acting assistan. sur
geon, who reported that the rumor was
false

HOW THEY WORKED,

"He was placed in charge in Jacksonville,
and did splendid service. During the
prevalence of the fever the officers, after a
yellow fever patient had recovered or died
in 8 house. stamped all the bedding, cur
tains, etc., with the words yellow fever.
If the bedding were untitled for another
patient it was at once burned. If it were
good it was burned after the epidemic was
ended, in December.
at was after the plague had died out or
was extinguished by cold weather, that the
Marine Hospital service officials did the
work which has prevented a recurrence of
the fever this year. In jacksonville and
the other towns where the fever ragged,
every house was inspected. All houses
where there had been case of fever were
thoroughly fumigated with sulphur and
washed down with bi-chloride of mercury.
From 20 to 200 houses were disinfected
daily for period of ten weeks, when the
work in Jacksonville was completed. 1t
was large task, but Mr.. Porter an able
corps of assistants In aid of the Federal
work the city authorities of Jacksonville
drained large section of low and marshy
land about that city.
