know of the health of Pittsburg who should
stand for 15 minutes at the corner OF Fifth
avenue and Wood street and glance at the
people who went by. This farce was worse
than the other. However, the doctor
seemed satisfied. and we were given per-
mission to proceed, and that contented us
very we'll. 1t did not, however, heighten
our respect for the quarantine authorities.
They appear to have but one preventive,
and that is detention. That preventive, in
the case of the unfortunate Normannia,
they have applied in heroic doses. Our
dose was slight.
In general, there is a conspicuous lack in
New York bay of the qualities Of prompt
ness and thoroughness. DR.. Jenkins is
probably well-meaning man, and ought
not to be personally blamed overmuch for
being the brother-in-law Of Mr.. Richard
Croker, but he is not big enough for the situ-
alton.

BOURBoNIsNI ON BANKS.

The remarkable declaration of the
Democratic platform in favor of reopen
ing the gates to wildcat bank notes by
leaving the subject to the mercies of
Arkansas and Wyoming legislators pro-
duces still more remarkable defense
O. It from the Philadelphia Times. That
Journal accuses the opponents of the
Democratic idea of discussing the thing
from the point of prejudices rather than
facts, with remark about Ignorant
organs" which makes the further asser-
tiOns Of the Democratic organ very inter-
eSting.
The first Of these assertions is that ''the
national banks were given a monopoly of
the issue Of bank notes in order to induce
them to lend money to the United States;"
they were in 1864, but is the Times ignor-
ant that for nearly twenty years that
monopoly has been entirely an imagina-
ton of Bourbon Democrats? Anyone
with the necessary capital can 60 into the
banking business who desires to comply
with the necessary regulations; any one
having done so can issue notes who
wishes to buy the United States bonds as
a security. There are over four times as
many United States bonds outstanding
as there are national bank notes. To
describe as monopoly that which any
man can engage in by complying with the
regulations necessary to protect the public
is an exhibition either of prejudice or
Ignorance.
Next the Times asserts that the national
banking currency had never the impor-
tant merit Of elasticity That is exactly
the opposite of the truth. 1t had that
merit to an exceptional degree. 1t is its
elasticity which, now that money is cheap
and United States bonds are dear, brings
down the issue to its present minimum.
There is no way of more thoroughly COM

PARTY MACHINES DEPRECATED.
Carl Schurz Write, u Letter Because He's
Too Ill to Speak.

Carl Schurz Write, u Letter Because He's
Too Ill to Speak.
NEW YORK, Sept. ls.-Hon Carl Schurz has
written q lengthy letter addressed to the
Cleveland and Stevenson clubs Of Kings
county, and Alexander E. Orr and other
citizens of Brooklyn, giving his views on
the present national political situation.
Mr.. Schurz was invited by the clubs and
citizens to express his opinions in an ad-
dress, but ill-health prevented him from so
doing. After q brief Introduction Mr..
Schurz says:
1--WE are toll that the tariff is the chief
issue Of this campaign. certainly do not
underestimate the Importance of any of its
aspects, but regard 1t only as q part of a
far more comprehensive question. which is
not merely economic, but political In
nature, and concerns the general working,
in fact, the moral vitality OF our democratic
system of government There Is q school OF
pessimists growing up among US, who,
whenever anything goes wrong. are ready
to declare democratic government
failure and to despair OF the republic
to more sharply criticise, 1t would do no
harm. But when every attempt at improve
ment is discouraged as useless, 1t becomes
harmful. By the same methods every KIND
of government would fail and anarchy
would remain. 1t must be a government OF
public opinion, expressed in the form OF
laws. Sucn governments Will Hhno
mistakes, but as long as the growth OF public
opinion in the body polite is free the good
sense of the people may be trusted TO bring
about the correction of existing evils"
Referring to party machines Mr.. Schurz
says: Public spirited citizens form party
because they have substantially the same
objects of public interest in view. They
form committees, clubs and whatever else
effective organization require. This Is
healthy legitimate party organization.
What is a machine? An organization within
a party, composed of office holders and office
seekers, who ostensibly serve public cause
for the purpose of having that cause serve
them; politicians dubbed together for
mutual benefit and support; well disciplined,
under shrewd and energetic leaders, seek
ing in the first place to rule the party
to which they belong so as to make
its victory their spoil. This is the
machine. Nor is that spirit very different
when the office-holding force of a national
Government is called into political service
to promote personal ends On the whole
the development of party organization has
of late years been LARGELY in the direction of
machine methods. What will the effect be
on our political life? Money wrongfully
used in elections corrupts public opinion.
1t serves to raise up race OF unprincipled,
selfish, mercenary politicians, and to repel
from public life men with patriotic ambition
who wish to serve the public welfare ac-
cording to their honest convictions"
In conclusion, Mr. Schurz spoke highly of
Grover Cleveland, and said that he looked
upon his nomination, in spite OF the efforts
of the machine, as good sign. He did not
think highly of President Harrison's ad-

ONE of the peculiarities of the final ad-
mission of the Normannia's passengers is
presented by the numerous and fervent dec
larations of the eminent gentlemen who
have had a rather hard time on the useless
ness Of quarantine. 1t is an old and familiar
human quality that the person whose foot is
pinched does not like 1t. Nevertheless any
effort to keep infection away from sixty
million people is likely to be supported by a
large majority.

ALL the Democratic organs have been
smashing Peck because his figures showed
an increase in the aggregate of wages paid,
but not an increase in the rate Of wages to
each individual. But now comes the Demo
cratic Harrisburg Patriot and destroys him
with the assertion that his report shows
that in some branches the wages paid per
hand have increased, while the aggregate
payment of wages has diminished. This is
not half so hard on Peck as on the argu-
ments of the other Democratic organs.

REMARKS the New York Herald: ''The
present admixture of cholera scares and po-
litical excitement may serve to remind good
citizens that the physical system and the

excitement up to the present time this coun-
try would be in a very placid and undis-
turbed frame of mind.

The Disinfection a Farce.

FRIDAY afternoon they sent over q
chick OF a boy to ask us questions. We
formed in line, and inquiry was made about
our luggage. Where was it ten days before
we sailed? If it was on the Continent, an
ominous cross was set against our names.
The next day the chick of a boy came back
and pretended to disinfect the trunks which
had been OH the Continent. The disinfec-
tlon was farce. The boy had little bottle
in his hand filled with some colorless liquid.
This he sprinkled over the suspected lug
gage, putting about ten drops in trunk. II
you were very good to him and not many
were looking he would put in only two
drops. Nobody could find out what the dis
infectant was. 1t was generally believed
among the passengers to be Croton water!
The United States Government, fighting
cholera with this beardless David for
champion armed with little of something
in glass bottle, did not present a particu-
larry dignifled appearance.
At last came the doctor. All the passen-
gers, steerage and cabin, were passed in
procession, before him. He was to judge of
our health. BY the time the helter-skelter
promenade was over the doctor knew just
as much about our condition as one would

LOUISIANA occasionally thinks of some
thing except pugilism and lotteries, and
even the planters of the interior are becom-
ing aroused to the material interest they
have in politics. A meeting was called by
s. r. Gay, of the Third Congressional dis
trict, at which the following sentiments
were expressed: 1.-THE demands of legis-
lative opponents to the protection policy
are constant menace to the sugar, rice and
lumber interests of the Third Congressional
district, and it is an indisputable and self
evident fact th at these interests need the
fostering care of an average protection.
Admittance to and counseling with Con-
gressional protective committees is On in
dispensuble necessity to successful effort on
behalf of these interests, and Democratic
Representatives, although believing in pro-
tective policies, are at a serious disad-
vantage In being debarred entrance to and
caucus with Republican protective con-
mittees; therefore, we, sugar, rice and
lumber representatives, and other business
delegates, in conference this day here
assembled, join in an earnest appeal to the
voters of the Third Congressional district,
irrespective of party. to vote for and sup
port in their iull power the candidate here
to-day by us selected. and we recommend
that the people of the Third district shall
vote for Benjamin Harrison for President
