The Pest House Question.

The county commissioners are looking
for a site for pest house
| and thus far hsve not sue
ceeded in finding a suitable one. But what
is the use OF hunting for one or incurrIng
the expense Of building pest housei The
great majority OF the people of this county
are residents of this city, and there is no
| good reason why one pest house would not
answer for both the city and the county. II
the city pest house is not large
enough enlarge it Make its accommoda-
| tions sufficient for any demands that are
| likely to be made upon it, but don't burden
the taxpayers with the expense Of main
tanning two pest houses. There we're some
cases Of smallpox in the city last spring
and few in the county outside
Of the city. The most of those
probably for whom the county authorities
were required to find accommodate were
refugees from the city or contracted the
disease in the city.
Inc smallpox may not make its appear
ance lii the county again in a decade, aud
II the county should incur the expense of
erecting pest house it would have to keep
the building in repair and pay some one to
take care Of it all that time without having
any use for it. Such a burden ought not to
be placed upon the taxpayers unless there is
an Imperative necessity for doing so. And
the necessity is not apparent.
The county commissioners, it seems. pro-
pose TO build pest house not because the
county's patients cannot be accommodated
in the city's pest house, but on account of
their inability to make reasonable arrange
ments with the city for the reception and
care OF county patientS But why should the
city burden the county with exorbitaut
chargesl The taxpayers Of the city pay
nearly all the taxes OF the county, and when
the city places unnecessary burdens upon
the county it only increases the burdens of
its own citizens.
There ought to be a clear understanding
between the city and the county relative to
the charges to be made by the city for car
ing for the county patients in the pest
house, and these charges should be no more
than the actual cost of caring for such
patients. The city and county authorities
ought to have no difficulty in arriving at q
satisfactory understanding concerning
the use Of the pest house by
both the city and the county.
If the matter at issue was purely business
one between individuals there would be no
trouble in resching settlement OF it.
There are so many calls upon both the city
and the county that the aim of the county
and city authorities should be to practice
economy in every way they can without
injuring public interests. The state tax
rate has been raised, and the effort should
be to reduce the rates Of the county and the

Playing Philadelnhia Poker

Fred B. Esler OF the Northeastern elevated
railroad enterprise of Philadelphia has just
figured in a poker story. He has q cottage this
season at fashionable Lenox, and in the swell
casino at that place was engaged the other
evening in a game OK eucher one Of the partici-
pants being Gen. F. c. Barlow, says the New
Orleans Times Democrat.
AT the conclusion of the game there was a
suggestion that in order to make up purse for
the servants OF the establishment poker hand
should be dealt around with the privilege of a
draw. 1t must be borne IN mind that the game
having been eucher there were no cards in the
decK lower than seven. Gen Barlow having
You are young man Of nerve Outside OF the
pot would like to wager you the enormous
sum of $40 that my hand will beat yours"
This was before the draw. Esler found that
he had bobtail straight including seven,
elght nine and ten. and forgetting that it was
really only open at one end, and that seven was
the lowest card. which, of course, would not be
the case in full poker deck, he thought that
he would have an excellent opportunity for OIL
ing it at either end in the draw. and accordingly
MAZE the wager. He drew jack. and Gen.
Barlow did not improve the three kings which
he held. When rs er threw down his hand and
raked in the money Gen. Barlow looked at him
in anazement and said:
" on are the young man have been looking
Tor. DO you get your nerve from your Phi a.
delphia birth or your New York residence? The
man who will make a previous wager upon
straight open only at one end excites my admi-
ration. You are entirely TOO brash for this
staid community"
Then for the first time did it dawn upon Esler
that his straight had only been open at one end.
He made no admission of this fact however
and scarcely blush mantled his face as he
coolly replied: "Oh, l knew l would draw the
poker better than grown people in other COM
munitieS."

Blaine Forcsd TO Explain.

When the Mckinley bill was pending In
the House Mr.. Blaine wrote letter to Sena'
tor Frye, in which he said: But there IL
not a section nor line in the entire bill that
will open market for another bushel OF
wheat or another pound Of pork"
This statement of Mr.. Blaine is doing
Maj. Mckinley a great deal OF harm in his
canvass in Ohio. Many Of the democratic
papers keep it standing at the head
Of their editorial columns In order to
nullify the effect OF it Mr.. Blaine has given
an explanation Of how he came to make it.
and has attempted to show that it IS not ap-
| phcable to the Mckinley tariff. His
explanation, however, does not help Maj.
Mckinley. Il is virtual admission that
proteotion is of no benefit to ths farmers,
and Maj. Mckinley is not only Sanding
squarely upon protection platform, but is
defending the Mckinley tariff act. He takes
pride in the fact that the act is a more
emphatic announcement Of the doctrine of
protection than any previous act.
MIR. Blaine explains that when he made
the statement which is giving Maj. McKin>
ley so much trouble the reciprocity feature
had not been incorporated into it. But is
it not a fact that Maj Mckinley strongly
opposed that feature. And is it not also a
fact that reciprocity is free trade in every
respect except in namei There is no pro-
lection in reciprocity, and that is why Maj
Mckinley opposed the Blaine reciprocity
scheme. Maj. Mckinley is not entitled to
any credit for the reciprocity feature Of
the Mckinley tariff, and 1t is therefore diff
fcult TO understand why Mr.. Blaine should
think bis explanation would help Maj. Nc
Kinley.
Mr. Blaine was shrewd enough to see that
the farmers were tired of protection,
but he saw also the necessity for
retaining the good will of the pro-
| tected monopolies upon which the
Republican party relies for money TO con-
duct its political campaigns. and, therefore,
while the Mckinley bill gave the monop-
| olisss all they demanded he had the reciproc-
ity feature inserted in it for the purpose of
| making the farmers believe that their inter
ests were carefully guarded.
The elections last November, however,
ought to have convinced him that the farm
ers were not deceived. They saw that the
reciprocity feature Of the Mckinley tariff
was an admission that they were being
robbed under the system of protection, and
they will not deceived by Mr.. Blaine's ex-
PLANTATION. IL would have been better for
Maj Mckinley if MIR. Blame had made no
explanation
