THE QUARANTINE CONFER.

The quarantine conference winch
closed its session at Montgomery, Ala,
on the 9th INST, seems to have per
formed the work of investigating and
reviewing every accessible detail of
quarantine and sanitation science most
carefully and intelligeutly. The con
ference was composed of some of the
most eminent and experienced ply
sieians from all parts of the country,
and was prolonged three days. Rules
and resolutions were formulated and
adopted, which, if observed, will in
sure exemption from the spread of
even the alternating species IF there
is such, and it was the one thing upon
which the conference materially dis
agreed) of the disease so dreaded, and
which SO rstards the growth of the
fairest portion of our country. The
full proceedings of the conference
have been ordered printed for general
distribution, but 10 the meantime the
Echo gives the gist of some of the
most important resolutions adopted
which will insPire the conviction that,
as the New Orleans TimaeS-DeDsOcrat
remarks, we enter upon the present
summer in far better condition as far
as quarantine and protection from dis,
ease are concerned than we did last
year.
1t urges on all State health boards

REPRESENTATIVE OATS said recently
that the Republican party had no
principles other than present cxpedi-
ency, the truth Of which has been
fully shown by the action of two
cRueuses of the Senate Republicans.
First, they decided that Hoars cleo
tion investigating resolution should
be pressed to a vote They tried for
several days to press it, but on the
Democrats resorting to ilibustering,
they held another cancus and decided
not to press it further There is a
lesson in this action, however week
kneed it may appear, that might
profit the Democratic leaders. In
plain language, there is never any
good to be accomplished by bulting
yonr head against bnck wall Had
not impossibiIities been attempted we
would have inaugurated a good Dem
ocrat Monday instead of Harrison.

TRENTON, March 9-Despite the many pre-.
dicuons to the contrary, the Werts bill has

The session was the first held in many wears
on Friday, and was for the sole purpose of
passing the measure.
When the senate met at II o'clock MIR.
Smith, Of Sussex, said he was not prepared 10
vote ior the bill and moved to lay it over.
This pleased the Republicans, but the party
goad was applied, and Senator Smith did not
press his motion Eleven Democrats voted
for the bill and ten Republicans against il.
Mr. Gardner, Of Atlantic, who IS finishing
his twelfth year in the senate, made the ar
gument for the minority and said that as the
Democrats last year fought the local option
bill because il was unconstitutional and not
because they did not like it, be could not un-
derstand why they objected TO it now, after
the courts, by saying it was constitutional,
had removed their only objection.
Senator Baker said he voted last year for
local option, and be only voted for a new law
because he knew this measure was a better
temperance one than last years law
Senator Edwards explained the object Of
the amendments made in the original bill.
He said that as far as the high license features
were considered this measure and the present
law are alike, but the Baker clauses made
much fairer measure. In cities and towns
having an excise board the people can vote
to have men on the boards who win fix the
fee to suit the voters Ii they do not do 50.
Others can be elected who will. In cities ali
license fees 60 TO the municipalities and he
thought townships should have their fees.
Therefore, when this bill provided that each
township could have an election to fix the
liquor lee for that township, and gave to
that township the exclusive right 10 the fec
thus fixed, it went further toward enlarging
the rights and helping the people then any
law has ever vet done
