the officers Of the United States steamer
Galena. now AZ Port-au- Prince or vicini-

Yantic started north with yellow fever
on board, and repeated inquiries for news
from the Galena are made at the Navy
Department. But little apprehension -
felt for her there. however. and y i ex-
pected the first information received from
her will report all we'll. She left New
York in perfect sanitary condition. Inc
very fact that she Is fever ship has made
her officers unusually careful, and every
possible precau'ion has been taken 70

foothold on board. She Is kept scrupu.

A little episode occurred very recently
at the White House which newspapers
like the New York Times will doubt
less make the most of. The President
was receiving large delegation of the
Patriotic Sons of America an order
which has been holding its annual con-
vention in Washington. After the de-
livery of the formal address bv men,
Der of the order, a prominent member
of one OF the local camps stepped for
ward and attempted to pin upon the
Presidents coat one of the badges OF
the order. The President dexterously
and gracefully frustrated the movement
by suddenly stepping backwards, and
by a motion OF his hand indicating that
he had no disposition to have the pro-
prieties OF the occasion violated in this
manner. While the President is willing
at all times to show proper respect to
delegations of representative citizens
who call upon him, he declines to per-
NIT himself to be used in any manner
not consistent with his high office.

We have no intention, certainly no
desire, to provoke discussion of any
kind with our Democratic contemporary
of the Cecil County Meas. His news,
paper, however, after its issue is public
property, and his editorial language the
proper subject of legitimate criticism.
In his comment on Thursday on the
Democratic ticket in one sentence he
declares that "the ticket as a whole
does not bear on its face that we'll de-
fined air and impression of certain and
6re-ordained victory that it might and
should have DONE"
In the third sentence thereafter he
asserts that with one or tho exceptions
the nominations of last week are far
above the average of party Demo
cratlc) nominations in the county.
Dare he be candid enough to tell the
people of Cecil County, Vhich of tile
candidates on tile ticket are the one or
tzOo EXCEPTIONS, which in his opinion
are not up to the standard of his party
"Come Mr.. Editor be frank with the
voters of Cecil, and tell them who are
the men you mean.

Between the two straits. of partizan

Between the two straits, of partizan
subserviency on the one hand, and a
candid expression of individual opinion
on the other, our two Democratic CO.
temporaries of Elkton, make lamenta-
BILE showing, IN their comments on the
Democratic ticket.
A little street incident will illustrate
their situation.
"My good woman" said gentleman
to an old apple vendor, who croned
over her basket of tempting fruit, care
your apples sweet or sourP"
She was shrewd, and not knowing
her customers tastes, did not wish to
miss sale. With a peculiar leer OF
her eye she told the story OF her cum
ming by promptly replying-"Sir, nat
urally they are sweet apples, but still they
incline very much to the sour"
She had met in her answer both sides
of the dilemma.
Like the old woman's apples, the
Democratic ticket is to Democratic edl
tors-naturally good, but still is yer,
much inclined to the contrary.
The parallel is complete.

HE LAUGHS ALL THE TINE.
Affection of n Georgia Man Whose
RIsibiIIties Are Affected.

Terrible Afntctfon OF u Georgia Man whose
disabilities Are Affected.
Joseph Oscar johnson, of Macon, Ga u,
is queerly affected, and is condemned to
laugh all his life. He is a paralytic. and
one side is entirely useless. The stroke
came on him some two months ago. He
is locomotive engineer. 1t was in the
town of Clinton, s. c., that the stroke
came on him. He was one day doing
some work on his engine and talking to
some one standing near. At the moment
he received the blow he was in the act OF
laughing, and, strange to say, the mus
Giles ami nerves of the face that are
brought most into play in the act of
laughing are the ones that are most at
fected, and over these he has no control
whatever. He cannot tell of his troubles,
and the doubts and fears that torment
him without laughing. He has wife
and five children, and " Len this aff1iction
came upon him he went to his father in
law, who lives in Wilmington, N. c., and
told him OF his condition. and of his in
ability to care further for his family.
The recital of bis parting with his wife
was most pathetic and heartrending; yet,
with tears in his eyes and heart iull OF
agony, he was forced to laugh as though
he had been telling a most ludicrous incl
dent. He dares not to go to church lest
lie be accused of making sport of the SER
vices and be requested to leave the
church; and as for funeral. it would be
out of the question for him to attend one.
His case is a most pitiable one. and is the
more SO because he is only awaiting the
only relief possible for him, and one tn 1t
he would hail with pleasure and almost
prays for.
