CH1CKENPoX, AFTER ALL.
The Yellow Flag Floated on the Southsid
by the Board of Health.

The Yellow Flag Floated on the Southside
by the Board of Health.
Southside residents were considerably
alarmed yesterday over the report that there
was case of smallpox on Breed street, near
the head of Thirteenth street. Their fears
were warranted, too, tor on the house of a
family named Plank was the smallpox warning
of the Board Of Health. People kept shy of the
yellow portent of epidemic disease, and gave
that section of the city D. wide berth. Yester-
day afternoon, however, the warning was re-
moved suddenly, though the uninitIated could
not account for the action.
On investigation it was found that Hugh
Plank, a boy of IL years. had been stricken
with what DIR. Koeller pronounced varioloid or
smallpox The Board of Health was imme-
diately notified and placed on the house the
customary warning. When DR.. Koeller called
yesterday he decided. that, after all, il was only
a case of chickenpox. and accordingly the sign
was taken down and the nervous tension of tn g
neighborhood residents relieved.

rerday Booth & Flinn's great big stone crusher

who passed along Federal street.
The City Property Committee thought that
in view of the fact that a crusher would OBJ
struct the streets in which 1t was proposed to
lay the tracks of the new electric railway, it
would be better to have the stone bre aking
done on the Diamond. Big cobDle-stones are
being broken there now, and the machine will
continue its work until the tracks on Federal
street have been laid.

The Signal Service predicts a most
direfnl disaster along the Mississippi in
the way Of food. It is predicted that
New Orleans will be under water and all
property and lives destroyed unless this
warning notice is observed and the city
vacated. The prediction is backed up by
such facts as would induce us to get out
Of New Orleans, and seek higher sta
tion. We hope this may not come to
pass, but We should not wait to see the
waters rising in the streets before we left
the city. We could easily 60 back after

The Trne Test for Office.

1t is q foregone conclusion that un
scrupulous men shall have monopoly in
political matters, and that good men shall
keep out Of politics7 Yet general opin-
ion smacks of such an idea. 1t is oft re.
peated that good man cannot run for
Office without going down into the slums
and thrusting conscience and religion
aside. This is deplorable state of affairs.
The fact is, of all men, good men should
go into politics, and bad men should be
kept out. This would be lhe case if men
of principle would not compromise.
True, Church and State should be kept
separate. This ia correct principle, but
it is often wrongly applied. The Church
as an ecclesiastical organization, has
nothing to do with the State; but that re-
ligion has nothing to do with the State
and its political affairs is a wrong appli
cation of the principle. Religion is the
corner stone of all righteous government,
and by religion we mean the religion Of
the Bible. Let politics occupy the high
ground designed for righteous govern.
ment, and God will be honored and right.
eousuess will characterize the adminislra
tion. The voter will be held responsible
for his vote as we'll as for any other act OF
his life. It is diagraceful to any govern.
ment when the best men of that
government cannot mingle in its politics
without going down into the slime and
filth of ungodIiness and public deviltry.
Just let the Christian men of this country
be consistent, aud the political temple will
be purged.
The above, taken from the Southern
Christian Advocate, has the true ring to it.
1t is time that the good people should
take more interest ia politics, and see to
it that good men are selected for office.
We do not believe in union of Church
ane State, nor do ne believe that any one
religious denomination has all the brains
and all the ability to steer the ship of
State successfully, nor do we think that
any one sect has lien on all the State
Offices, and has right to dictate who
shall be Governor, and who skall hold
the other Offices in the State Government.
A mans religious opinions sbould not be
a test to his competency to hold Office,
bot mans hohesty, ability and integrity
should be. Because a nan does not he
lobg 10 one particular denomination
should not dlaqualify him from holding
Office, nor because he happens to belong
to that denomination should not make
him any more eligible or qualified. There
should be no union of Church or State,
neither in theory or practice, and the
people should see 10 it that good men,
irrespective of their Church relations,
shall he placed in Office, and that no
one denomination shall assume to have
all the available material for filling the
Offices of the State. j.
