No. So Bad as REPRESENTED.

The epidemic Of smallpox at Harris
Neck, although bad enough, is not quite as
bad as represented in our dispatches from
Atlanta. The entire coast is not threat
ened with an epidemic OF the disease, and
there is no reason why people anywhere on
the coast, except at Harris Neck, should be
seriously alarmed. There have been great
many cases in that locality and there is quite
a large number there yet Precautions
have been taken, however. to prevent
the spread of the disease, which,
there is every reason to believe, will
be stamped out by the physicians Of the
marine hospital service In q little while.
Those afflicted will be isolated, and such re-
strictions will be. If they have not already
been, placed upon communication With the
infected locality, that the danger OF carry
ing the disease into new localities will be
almost wholly removed.
1t seems there has been smallpox at
Harris Neck since August. Only within
the last three weeks, however, has
it attracted any attention. When
the authorities of this city be-
came aware OF its existence there
eHSJ WIN PAOOaAAAOAo W PA0FCHN ~ AAOHA
beng brought into this city, and the MORN
ING NEWS warned people to keep away
from the infected section. The warnings
seem to have been effective, because, so far
as known, no cases traceable to Harris
Neck have been discovered outside OF the
limits of that place.
1t is a very difficult matter to stamp out
smallpox in black settlements in the
country. The colored people there pay no
regard to regulations for checking the
spread Of the disease, and in their
homes they give very little attention
to sanitary matters. And, besides, in
isolated districts measures for checking the
spread of the disease are not taken as
promptly as they should b. Indeed, it is
often the case that there is no one having
authority to enforce obedience to health
regulations.
1t is gratifying that the marine hospital
service gave its attention to the Harris
Neck epidemic SO promptly after being re-
quested TO do so. Had nothing been done
with regard to it the chances are that the
disease would have gradually spread over a
wide section of country and reached the
towns and cities. The restrictive regula-
tions should not be relaxed until every trace
Of the disease has disappeared, and the
houses in which there have been cases Of it
should be thoroughly dlsinfected.

Business Principles Applied to Opera

!
The hustlng western merchant, with pretty
good sized bank account and credit that would
make even board of trade man hesitate to
call margins on him, was in the city to buy
some goods says the Baltimore Herald, and
the travelling man had taken him to the matt
nee.
He fidgeted in his seat little as the soprano
sung her best number. and seemed TO be nerv-
GUS while the tenor was doing himself proud
with bis plaintive song Ia fact nearly all the
singing seemed to trouble him. Finally his
companion asked:
Ever heard grand opera before?''A
mo, | haven't" he said, in burst of conf
dence, " "and want to say right now that I'd
like to have the management Of this concern
for about five minutes"
what would you do?"
I'D run it on business principles; that's what
I'd do. l wouldn't let any of those people loaf
on their JOB, that's sure I'd make 'em toe the
mark or I'd know the reason why"
travelling man in surprise.
"Oh. yes, the snging's all right, but it's too
| blamed slow! I've got engagement at 4
o'clock, and they couli finish the whole bust
ness by that time if they were pushed. But
they amt; they just take their time and draw
the thing out. I'd cut down the time of that
fellow with the waXed mustacae five minutes,
and if he couldn't hustle his song IS his love
through in that time I'd discharge him. It's
just case of loaf and lack of business man
agement; that's what 1t is. I'd like to see some
of my employees fool around that way once

Rather curious story comes from Ohio
to the effect that one Hiram Mcknight
argued his own case in court on the quest
Of the legality of trial for one offense when
he had been extradited from New York on
an entirely different charge. and he did it so
cleyerly that the supreme court Of the state
of Ohio sustained him and ordered his dis
charge. But he was Immediately pounced
upon and locked up on the charge for which
he had originally been extradited. Whether
they tried to convict him or not the Ohio
authorities palpably made mistake in not
giving him at least perfunctory trial upon
the charge named in the writ of extradi-
tion.

A Blow at Spoilsm en-.

About all the big and little politicians of
the country are kicking against the civil
service reform law. In New York city the
other day there was meeting of the local
republican politicians to discuss the causes
of the republican defeat in New York 10 the
recent elections. Some OF the ward bosses
said the reason was that many of the places
in the custom house and navy yard were
filed with democrats. He thought If the
President had turned all the democrats
out and put republicans in their places the
result of the election might bave been
different
But the civil service reform law Is not
going to be repealed. A decision was rem
dered by the supreme court Of the District
of Columbia the other day which was
eeyere blow to spoilsmen. It was in the
Newton case. Newton is the man who in
1888, wrote letters from Virginia to govern-
meDt clerks soliciting subscriptions to help
elect Malone governor OF Virginia. The
law prohibits the soliciting of subscriptions
from government clerks for political pur-
poses and Newton was indicted. He de-
INJURED to the eindictment, and his demurrer,
a day or two ago, was overruled.
There IS no doubt about the facts, and, as
he must now stand trial, it is difficult to
see how he can avoid being convicted. II
he should be convicted and severely pun
ished there would be an end of the practice
of assessing government employees for po-
litical purposes. The political atmosphere
would be purer IL the practice was stopped

Appropriations for deepening harbors on
the gulf and improving other harbors are
generally admitted to be reasonable and
proper. But the Omaha Bee thinks that
appropriations for dredging creeks and
scooping the shifting sands out of rivers not
available for commerce are a waste of
money. Money expended for scraping Mis-
souri, river sand bars and deepening the
uncertain channel is simply dumped into the
river to no useful purpose. Funds for Mis-
souri, river improvements should be used
solely in protecting the property of cities
and citizens fronting upon the stream. "
And the editor adds that "the day when
the Missouri river could be regarded as a
navigable stream necessary to commerce is
long since passed. Less than one-tenth of the
vast sums of money that have been wasted
in that way would give to Savannah such
harbor as would render the city one Of the
greatest ports of the world. Money de-
voted to producing such results is well
spent

dignation meeting to roundly berate the

Jealous churchmen are keeping very
watchful eye upon the Rev. DR.. Briggs of
alleged heresy fame. When he preached
az an uptown New York church
last Sunday evening his audience
was literally besprinkled with his
clerical brethren who conspicuously paid
close attention to his discourse and took
copious notes of his utterances. Whether
they were merely curious or trying to find
something that could be tortured into heresy
or wished to train for heresy trial them
selves can only be vaguely conjectured until
we hear from them.
