The appeal of Cardinal Gibbons to the officers

Maj. Mckinley does not find the tariff
question so interesting as he thought he
would when he began his campaign in Ohio,
and he is therefore dsvoting the greater

He is telling the farmers that il they don't
change their demands they will be carrying
the South American dollar in their pockets
The farmers, however, do not seem TO I'M

The recent heavy and long continued
rains have damaged cotton great deal, but
it is doubtful if the damage is as great as
reported. II good weather prevails until
frost, and frost does not come too soon, the
crop will be pretty big one.

The Brunswick Times says that the jeal-

thing of the past. Yes. 1t is a thing Of the
past, and let it remain so. There was never
any good reason for it, and it never bene-
flied anybody. The two ports can work
together with benefit to each. If they pull
different ways they are certain to do each
other harm. II there is to be rivalry let
it be a friendly one-a rivalry that will
spur each in the direction of greater mate
rial prosperity.

Injured Infant INDUSTRIES. 81

Tinplate Magnate Neidringhaus was
formerly st. Louis congressman. Sufi-
cient intelligence to fit him for the duties
of that responsible Office coupled with a
business experience and capacity sufficient
TO raise him to the crest of the wave of sue
cess should also supply him with tolera-
bly, accurate knowledge Of the national
laws which apply to industries.
Still, when Mr.. Neidringhaus failed to
| find the necessary skilled labor in this
country to operate his tinplate works at st.
| Louis, and was confronted with the inhabi-
ton of the so-called contract labor law
when he thought of sending abroad for
competent help, he took recourse to the
formality of consulting the Secretary of
the United States Treasury before acting
upon the obvious necessity for bringing the
essential mechanics from abroad, and
when that official bluntly denied him the
privilege, Mr.. Nedringhaus decided that he
had right to do so without such permits
| sion.
But in order to secure the right to do
what is essential to operate his mill without
vexatious interference from the party
that boasts so much of 1.-THE protection of
infant industries" this republican manu-
| facturer found it necessary to fall back
upon the sensible enactments of "a demo-
cratic congress. signed by democratic
| President" as he describes them.
What particular laws these are Mr..
Neidringhaus does not state. But it is a
trifle significant that when his business is
actually stopped under all of the promised
benign influences of republican admins
tration and the full operation of the repub-
lican pet policy of high tariff protection
that was to foster American infant indus
tries this staunch republican should i'm
mediately turn for relief to democratic
measures "passed by a democratic congress
and signed by democratic President" and
appeal to a republican high official as a
mere formality.
Possibly this is what the Pittsburg Dis
patch refers to when it says that it will
not enhance his reputation for discretion or
good taste" Come to think of it, the resort
to measures so injurious to the falacious
theories of so-called protection was not
bit lady-like of him.

Health commission.

| DR.. La Hardy, in bis semi-annual report
30 the Citizens Sanitary Association. pre-
sents some very good reasons why all mat
ters relating to the health Of the city
aud county should be placed in the hands
of a commission. a great deal has been
done to improve the health Of the city
within the last ten years, and 1t
is very much better than it used to
be. but much more would have beer done
| In all probability had the sanitary work Of
the city and county been under one man
agement and conducted in accordance with
plans adopted after mature consideration.
The county commissioners have accom-
plished great deal in the way Of draining
the low lands and swsmps in the vicinity of
the city, but there remains vast amount
OF this Kind Of work 20 be done. And it is
question whether the drainage would not
now be more effective than it is had there
been a clearly defined plan when the drain
age work was begun.
The city authorities also frequently con-
slider matters pertaining TO the public
health. Not long ago they were aroused 10
the necessity for inaugurating system Of
house drainage, and later they concluded
that more water was necessary before at
tempting 10 solve the house-drainage prob
lem. They may be right about this, but in
the meantime there are disease breeding
places in this city which ought to receive
more attention than are low given them.
Not only are there vaults which frequently
become offensive, but there are places
where the water remains for several days
after heavy rains. Shallow ponds, under
the influence of the hot sun, are very
likely to produce sickness.
And tbs paving question is highly i'm
portant one in its relations to the public
health 1t is a question that should be
studied carefully in a climate like this. And
there are many other matters
per Raining to the public health
Of which the city and county authori-
ties have jurisdiction. No doubt they
give all the attention to them they can, but
they do not have as much time to consider
them as their Importance demands.
And, besides, there are frequent changes
in both city aud county officials. New
men with different ideas cOms into power.
and before their ideas are put into practice
their places are taken by others. In this
way sanitary work, 80 necessary to the
city's health, is delayed, aud when it is
entered upon it is done without any clearly
defined connection with other work having
sanitation for one of its objects. Hence
years 60 by without needed sanitary work
being begun. A commission-provided 1t
was composed of the right sort of men
would effect a great reform in this matter.

Bernhardt's scheme.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 29.-TO
Sarah Be rnhardt belongs the credit
of projecting the most audicious the
atrical scheme on record. The idea
is a tour of the world on a specially
chartered steamship Of not less than
5000 tons, carrying the company,
scene cry and incidentally freight TO
help pay the expenses, which would
be nearly $1,000 day. Henry +. Alb
hey was In close consultation with
Mr.. Spreckles, of the Oceanic Steam
ship Line, on the subject dur
ing his recent visit to this city.
It is understood that negotiations
for a steamer of the MarIposa type
are about concluded. A two years'
cruise is proposed, sailing from Havrs,
then touch &C the leading ports OF
Portugal and Spain, thence proceed
TO the Mediterranean and then al6Dg
the Riviera; to visit French cities,
Vienna, Buda Pesth and Bucharest
Thence the troupe will go to Malta,
Alexandria and Cairo, through the,
Suez Canal to India, Australia, China,
Japan. Vancouver. San Francisco,
the cities of Spanish-America, the
Argentine Repu bile, Brazil, Cuba and
the eastern coast Of the United States.
Thence, crossing the Atlantic, the
company would finish its tour in Lon
