The Quarantine Question Again.

The SMYRNA TINES advocates the re.
mOval ofthe Quarantine from the Iaza-
rette, near Chester, Pa, to Bombay Hook
and movement is on foot to ACCOMPLISH
it.--heHt NetCS.
Cur contemporary in the above par.
agraph has things wrong. The TINES
does not advocate any such thing as
the removal of the Quarantine from
the LazarettO, near Chester, to Bonn
bay Hook. Others are doing it. and
The Times published it as a matter of
news, which is a very different thing
from advocating it. 1t will be resisted
by the people in this part of the State.
The subject is not likely to rest qui-
etly, however, until it is finally settled.
The Sunday Star, of Wilmington, in its
last issue had the following
said a Wilmington physician in
referring to the quarantine agitation
with the cholera already fastened
on Europe, especially in the seaport
cities which trade with the United
States, the subject of suitable QUAR-
antine station on Delaware bav or
river becomes a pressing one. The
recent conference of PENNSYLVANIA and
Delaware officials on the advisabilitv of
removing the present Lazaretto from
near Chester to Bombay Hook or
some other suitable location in Della.
ware, has aroused interest on the sub
Ject. and the people of Wilmington
are beginning to inquire whether such
q removal would not be the best thing
that could happen, not only for VIII
mingtOn but for the entire State
Bombay Hook is far enough down the
bay to protect the whole of Delaware.
except at Lewes. Besides. Bombay
Hook is isolated from IA densely popn.
lated district and is in every wav
adapted for a quarantine station.
The State of Pennsylvania offers to
buy it and offers further to erect a
quarantine station with the most mod.
ern appliances, at which infected YES
sells bound for Delaware ports shall be
examined and be disinfected free of
cost except that of fumigatiOu. The
LaZaretto at Chester now offers greater
dangers from infection to people pass
ing to and fro on the Wilmington
steamboats, than any place that could
be named. 1t is surrounded nv a
densely- populated district, and in the |
case OF an epidemic, Wilmington would |
be in imminent danger of catching the |
infection from its smaller neighbor. I !
tell you that little reflection will Ger.
tainly induce our Delaware authorities |
to accept the offer to establish the |
quarantine station at Bombay Hook.
1t is the best adapted place on the
whole bay, and in protecting Philadel. |
phia and Wilmington, Delaware would |
also be protected"

A Card from the prinoinal

The attention of parents and guar.
dians is called to the Importance of
entering their children in the puhlic
schools on opening day, Monday. Sent
9th. As work will start promptly in
every department the child who en-.
ters late will necessarily be behind in
his studies, andwhat is worse, find him
self handicapped, that it may be i'm.
possible for him to catch up with his
class. Time and again loss of time at
the start has resulted in the pupiI's
dropping out of his class and then his
dropping out of the school to 90 to
work or to run the streets.
Of course sometimes it is DracticalIv
impossible for pupils to attend from
the very beginning OF the term-at least
1t seems so; but which is more impor.
tant, months wages or years edu-
cation As to those who stay out inst
to make vacation little longer. there
Is nothing need be said.
However, every parent or guardian
whose child cannot be present on the
first day of school is requested to notify
the teacher of the fact, as the attend
ance has every to do with the assign
ment of desks and the distribution of
textbooks. Any pupil entering after
the first day whose teacher has not
been notified before that time will have
TO hrst get permit from the principal.

Duty of Collectors.

IN all cases where there is but one reg

his collection district embraces more
than one election district, then and in
such case, said collector shall sit for the
purpose of receiving taxes during the

The next general election will be
held in Arkansas on Monday, Septem-
ber ., when a governor will be chosen.
On Tuesday, September 6, Vermont
will elect governor. The Democrats
are making strenuous efforts to reduce
the Republican majority in that strong
hold of Republicanism.
Maine will follow on Monday, Sep
tember u. The leading orators of
both parties will speak in that state in
the meantime, and the result there for
governor and congressman will be
watched with that keen interest which
Maine elections always elicit in Presi-
dental years, although the results are
sometimes misleading.
Georgia is the only October state
this year. Her state elections will
take place on Wednesday, October 5,

They have ceased to inspire popular
confidence, and the younger element
has been struggling to get to the front.
That is the first reason; the second
reason is to be found in the economic
condition of the Southern States at
present. Their staple productions are
selling at low and often improbable
figures. There is but q limited de-
mand for Southern agricultural prod
ucts. The railroad situation is quite
complicated, and the intervention of
the courts has had to be invoked to
preserve many railroads from bank
ruptcy. When times are hard, and
business is dull, the advocates of crank
notions have good chance, and the
words of agitatOrs are hearkened to
with seriousness. That is why, in sew
eral States of the South, and more
especially in those where cotton is the
chief production, the allegiance of
many voters to the local Democratic
leaders has been rudely shaken.
Smyrna times., 1892-08-31

The New York Sun, under the head
"Make all Safe in the South" thus
states the reasons for the existing state
of affairs:
There are signs of tumult on the
horizon of politics in the South. Man
ifestatiOns multiply of factional unrest;
and if present indications are to be
credited, the harvest moon of the Nov
ember fight in that region will have
the earmarks of blood upon its face.
What has occurred in Alabama we
already know. Since the exciting elec-
tion i'm that state, two Democratic
tickets have been put in the field in
Texas and Tennessee. The DemOc-
racy is split squarely in two in South
Carolina, and the shadow of the Peo-
pies party rests heavily upon the
prospects of the Democrats in Georgia.
Florida, Louisiana, Virginia and Ar.
kansas. We see, indeed, this year the
republicans seriously considering their
chances of success in Missouri, North
Carolina, Delaware, and West Vir.
ginia, four stronghOlds where for many
years the Democracy has been regarded
as iDvincible. Two states only of the
said South do not appear to be affected
by disOrganizing and disintegrating
tendency. These are Maryland, where
the influence of Senator German is
still paramount, and Kentucky, where
Col. Watterson has addressed himself
to the task of quelling all disturbance
by the familiar and approved method
of drowning it in noise.
What is the cause of this excitement
and unrest in the solid Democratic
States of the South ? From what does
it spring? How may it be abated
How may the triumph of the Democ-
racy be made sure?
The causes are two in number, and
this is the first: Many of the distin-
guished citizen statesmen, who con-
tributed by their efforts and services
to uphold the cause of the Southern
States upon the battlefield, earned
thereby q title to subsequent recogni-
ton in civil life. The difficult and
delicate duties incident to administra-
tion during the era of reconstruction,
they discharged with vigor, tact
patience, skill, earnestness, and an
abiding sense of patriotic duty and
for such services they have been hon
ored, rewarded, and kept in Office, or
in places of influence. But with the
lapse of quarter of century, and the
appearance of new conditions, the en-
bers of war times have been scattered,
and new forces and new faces have
come into demand. Many of the an
cient leaders lack that rare, cherished.
and most enviable attribute of men
grown old in years. the power to keep
their minds clear, their spirits viva
cious, their aims progressive, and their
surroundings rejuvenated. The Eesult
Is that, in too many cases, these men
have become reminiscent, welded to
past notions and to mossback ideas

The chief feature of the European
news is the rapid advance of cholera
from India and Persia across eastern
to central and western Europe. Rus
sia has thus far suffered the most. 1t
is appalling in this connection to note
the extent of the cholera plague in
Russia. Official bulletins account for
$4,000 deaths But the actual death
list in the empire traceable to this dis
ease is probably over rather than under
$500, for less than one-third of the
centres of Russian rural population are
connected by the telegraphic system,
and big places like KischenefF are
known to have been ravaged for weeks
with the pest, yet are never mentioned
in official returns.
Up to the present there have been
something like 600 deaths in Northern
France. Deaths in Hamburg and
Altoona combined are put at 469, but
private statements estimate the total as
high as 800, and the bulletins show an
alarming spread of a very virulent
kind of epidemic.
At Hamburg prayers were offered in
all the churches Sunday for cessation
of the .scourge. Whole households
have been sent to a cholera hospital.
Relief COMMITTEES have been formed
and appeals for subscriptions issued
throughout the city.
A Vienna correspondent says: ''The
Emperor has abandoned his proposed
visit to Lemberg and unless the sani-
tary condition of Europe improves all
military maneuvers will be abandoned.
The great fear of cholera which un-
questiOnably haunts London since the
three deaths from that dreadful malady
at Glasgow, is, as the correspondent of
the New York Times points out, due in
the main to the frightened condition
of London's East End, where the
RussO-Jewish refugees are quartered.
The poor creatures of this class, scat.
tered throughout Europe to-day, have
evidently done more to spread the con.
tagiOn than all other classes combined
A seaman from Hamburg boat was
seized with cholera after landing at
Middlesborough, England. In Ham
burg the streets have a deserted ap.
pearance and it needs but little to turn
the feeling of unrest into panic. The
Kaiser is deeply interested in the
matter and has given stringent orders
for protecting the troops.
1t is possible that the disease may be
brought to this country this fall, but
not in sufficient numbers to cause
alarm before another year. Quaran-
tine arrangements will be very strict.
