An exchange tells its readers that a
home without newspaper is no home
at all. 1t is kind of dreary den--a
rendezvous of bedbugs and feas, where
the inhabitants live in blissfull ignor-
ance of what the world is doing. 1t il
inhabited by class who do not know
who is president, or what he is presiden,
of-who never find out that thing has
happened until long after every one else
has forgotten it. The children grow uE
in IGNORANCE and dirt, while the wife
generally finds consolation in darnine
socks, and lugging pipe loaded with
green tobacco, and the man generally
lives because he can't die and is toe
lazy to kill himself.

that he should now be in debt to the

Two Republics, of the City of Mex
leo, commenting on the Texas quar-
antine against Tampico and Vera
Cruz says:
yellow fever cannot be carried
across the high table lands of Mexico
to Texas. Persons who contract the
disease in Vera Cruz rarely get
farther away from that port than
OriZaba although in one or two cases
it has been brought as far as this city,
since the opening of the railroad.
However, neither in this city nor
Orizaba has case of yellow fever
originated by reason of contact
with persons who have contracted
on the cost, and, in fact q
case of yellow fever has never
originated in either city for any cause.
In view of these facts, the fear of the
people of Texas that yellow fever
might be contracted in Vera Cruz and
carried to that state is obviously
groundless. The fear that yellow
fever might be taken to Texas from
Tampic) is still more baseless. con-
sidering that there has not been q
case of that disease in the port named
for nine years. One of the principal
duties of a state government is to
guard against infectious and cOnta.
gious diseases, and since the govern
ment OF Texas so fully realizes this
duty, it is great pity that it
should waste its energy and
revenue sustaining quarantine
which is absolutely useless. If the
health officer of Texas will take the
trouble to investigate this subject, he
will soon become convinced that a
quarantine against overland passen-
gers from Vera Cruz is an unneces-
sary expense. Furthermore it Is an
obstacle to commerce which in the
long-run must prove injurious to
American trade"
The LIGHT is not an authority on
yellow fever, and cannot either affirm
or deny that yellow fever cannot he
carried across the high table lands of
Mexico to Texas" II it cannot, then
there is no occasion for quarantine
save at our gulf ports, aud the Two
criticism is pertinent. Ger
tain it is that no yellow fever ever pen
etrates to this section of the state.

THE campaign in Ohio proceeds
quite encouragingly for the republi-
can party. There is no attempt of
any kind to evade the issues or gloss
over the situation on the part of the
republican speakers. They have al
ready driven the democratic orators
into corner and compelled them to
repudiate the silver plank OF the Ohio
state democracy and are pushing
them to the wall on their free trade
declarations as well. Prominent
business men of the state having
large industries in operation and who
are personally interested in the out
come predict an overwhelming defeat
for Campbell. Now that the governor
has returned to the state Mckinley
has no scruples about attacking his
official record, showing the vows and
promises unkept, the vicious admin
istration of affairs, the unwarranted
expenditures of state funds, the i'll
competency of public officials and al
else that make up a record open tc
the severest criticism. No man, no
even Campbell himself, is better
versed in the minutia of state affairs
than is Mr.. Mckinley, and when HI
meets the governor in joint discussion
1 Campbell will be sorry that he eve
left the east to run the gauntlet o
McKinley's criticism.
