A Deceived Health Oflcer.

There are sea captains who will take the
risk Of carrying an infectious disease into a
city and thus putting thousands of lives ia
peril rather than have their ships detained
few days atquarantine. A steamer arrived
at the New York quarantine last Thursday
from Brazilian port on which persons had
died of yellow fever during the voyage. One
of those who died was the steamers doctor
At the quarantine station not word was
said about yellow fever. The only person
who was willing to speak positively about
the matter was locked in the
mail room. 1t is asserted that
he had been locked up to prevent him from
telling Of the fever cases. He had nursed
those who had died on the ship aud he knew
all about the disease from which they had
suffered. The health officer was told by
the steamers officials that four men had
died Of malarial fever.
At this season Of the year there is no
danger of yellow fellow getting a foothoId
in New York, but it is probable that the
officers who concealed the presence of an
infectious disease on the steamer in Novem-
Der would have done 30 in July or August.
Concealing any information relative to an
infectious disease on shipboard should be
made an offense punishable by severe
penalty. There are ship captains who de-
serve TO be taught lesson.

The Harbor Improvement Movement.
Capt Purse and his assistants are meet
ing with gratifying success in the west in
getting Endorsements Of the movement look
ing TO the immediate deepening of Savan-
nah harbor to twenty-six feet. The trade
bodies of the cities they have visited and
the conventions they have attended have
given them a cordial welcome, and have
promptly adopted resolutions commencing
the movement and asking congress to give
it favorable consideration. By the time
congress meets there will be a strong public
sentiment IN the west and south in favor OF
prosecuting continuously and vigorously
the work OF deepening Savannah harbor to
twenty-six feet. 1t looks, in fact, as IL the
sentiment would be SO strong that congress
would hardly take the responsibility of dis
regarding it,
The people OF the west understand how
important deeper water at Savannah would
be to them. At present their products
reach foreign markets by way of the port
OF New York, and they receive the imported
articles they need through that port. To
most Of them Savannah is much nearer.
and, therefore, it would be highly advanta-
geous to them to make her their seaport.
Deeper water at Savannah would be Of
incalculable benefit to very large part of
the south. Georgia. Florida, Alabama,
Tennessee and other southern states now
find seaboard outlet at this port, and their
interest in Savannah harbor will be in
creased In proportion as her harbor is deep
ened.
The deeper harbor movement has been
conducted thus far skillfully and successfully.
If it continues to grow in popularity, and
it certainly will. there is no reason to
doubt that it will command the approval
of congress, and that within very few
years Savannah will have 26-foot channel
to the sea.

NOW I Lay Me Down to Sleep"

Eugene Field in Chicago Nei0s.
The fire upon the hearth is low,
And there is stiffness everywhere;
Like troubled spirits here and there,
The freight shadows fiuttering go.
And as the shadows round me creep,
A childish treble breaks the gloom,
And softly from the further room
Comes; Now lay me down to sleep"
And, somehow, with that little prayer,
And that sweet treble in my ears
My thought goes back to distant years,
Aud fingers with dear one there.
And as l hear the child's amen,
My mothers faith comes back TO me;
Crouched at her side | sesm to be,
And mother holds my hands again.
o! for an hour in that dear place!
o. for the peace of that dear timer
o, for that childish trust sublime
o. for a glimpse OF mothers faoel
Yet as the shadows round me creep,
/ do not seem to be alone
Sweet magic of that treble tone
And Now lay me down to Sleep"

After the manner of all usurpers one of
the first official acts of Dictator Fonseca
was to muzzle the press of Brazil COM
pleteIy. More plainly than anything else
that act alone shows that the dictator is en-
gagged in an enterprise that cannot bear the
light of reason nor Withstand the results of
Justice. For success 1t depends wholly upon
the effects Of ignorance and fear combined
with ambition and greed. Such a cause
cannot long survive in this enhg htened age
of progress.

Just now Gotham is glorying in female

lightweight Bowery pugilist until she
made him very weary. After she had been

the intellectual product of advanced civili-
zation and enlightenment. But it doesn't
look that way from this distance.

Atlanta's Prohibition Campaign.

The campaign in Atlanta in behalf OF
prohibition is stirring up good deal Of bad
blood. Already it has been marked by two
very serious assaults and il is only few
weeks old. If it continues as 1t has begun
it Will be marked by many instances OF
violence, and a feeling of bitterness between
the opposing factions will be aroused that
will be a long time in disappearing.
Epithets, threats and abuse will not make
/ converts to prohibition. They may excite
| the applause Of an unthinking and sympa-
thstic audience, but 70 gain the approval
of friends is not the purpose OF a prohibition
campaign. The purpose is 70 make con-
verts. and they can be made only by argu-
ments and appeals which convince the mind
and touch the heart.
Hard and bitter words provoke opposi-
ton. They make enemies instead OF friends.
Those who are conservative or Indifferent
are aroused into activity by a campaign Of
abuse, and they generally array themselves
on the side of those who are attacked There
are now more active opponents to prohibit
ton in Atlanta, probably, than there were
before the assaults upon two Of the leading
prohibition workers.
Those who made the assaults were OF
course in the wrong, and they ought to be
punished as severely as the law will permit.
IL they had a grievance the way to obtain
redress In peaceable manner was open TO
them They chose, however, to seek redress
in their own way, and must suffer the con-
sequences.
RNrf hn fer hn lanlr a1 hot
the provocation came from the prohibition
lists. There was no good reason why they
should have resorted to personalities. They
could have done much more for the prohibit
ton cause by presenting the benefits Of pro-
hibition. and. if denials became necessary, ,
they should have made them in language
that would not have provoked violence.
A campaign in behalf of prohibition
should be carried on with earnestness and
vigor, but 1t should be kept within proper
bounds. The people engaged in it, taken as
a whole, are somewhat different from those
who conduct a political campaign. Minis
ters and women participate actively in it,
and the aim is to raise the moral standard
of the people by eliminating the saloon.
Whatever is done, therefore, by those adj
vocating the prohibition cause that tends
to provoke violence hurts that cause.
Some Of the Atlanta prohibition leaders
appear to be too abusively aggressive. They
should not forget that the liquor business is
legal one, end that those who are engaged
in it have rights which should be respected
Liquor dealers who comply with the law
should be treated as law-abiding citizens.
The campaign for prohibition should he con-
Quoted on a high plane. A campaign so
conducted is much more likely to be sue
cesssful than one that is chiefly remarkable
for personalities and broken heads

According to recent cable disnatoh fro,

According to a recent cable dispatch from
Italy a paper at Rome called the
Italia has just published an article
in which the writer says that he un-
derstands that "the United States govern
ment has recognized the responsibility of
the federal government for q breach of
international law in the New Orleans lynch
ing affair, and that the only question that
now remains to be settled is the amount of
the indemnity to be paid by the United
States government to the friends Of the
Italian citizens who lost their lives
through the violence Of the New
Orleans mob" Therein the paper
is probably as much mistaken as it was in
its former opinion that the United States
would quickly submit to being bled by the
crafty Rudini at the very first threat Of
war.

SANITARY PLUMBING.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-03-13

NEWSPAPERS do good deal of the
coming OF words in these days, and do
much in fixing or changing the accepted
use Of words, Sometimes this work is
not we'll done. An example may be
found in the word deter. 1t is being
Used In false and indefensible sense
by many newspaper writers at this time.
No less a paper than the New York
World speaks OF deterring gold going
out of the country. Now deter is akin
to terror, and has direct reference to
physical fear. It's Greek root has that
reference, and SO has the still more
ancient Sanscrit. Besides, it has refer
ence to something having animal life
in its effect. Again, while one
may deter person, where
the verb with its transitive
force governs the noun in the oh.
jective case, it will not govern an inani-
mate object so. Fear OF consequences,
effects or difficulties may deter person
from doing some act, or from leaving
some act undone. There is no other
correct use of the word. The word is
being made do duty for prevent or
hinder. These are perfectly euphonious
and well understood words; why moi
use them, and leave deter to its own
uses?
