TELL THE WHOLE TRUTH.

The Buffalo Courier, in reference to
the quotation by Republican cotempo-
rary of the well grounded attack of the
National Grocer On The Sugar Trust, takes
occasion to drag that question into poll
tics by saying:
BY singular oversight, the Express, in
reprinting this severe structure from the
National Grocer, neglects to state that the
law which aids the Sugar Trust to rob the
people is the Mckinley law. That law gives
to the trust its raw material, namely raw
sugar, which the people cannot use, free of
duty, and also gives it protective duty
equal to four times the cost of refining on
lis product, which is the refined sugar that
The people consume.
Here are two assertions made expressly
for campaign ammunition which it is wise
10 test by the comparison of facts One
of them, and the minor one, is that the
law makes raw sugar free, which the peo-
PIE cannot use; the other is that the COM
hnation of sugar refners get degree of
protection from the Mckinley act, which

A WARNING TO BE HEEDED.

Congress and State Legislatures receive
a scattering reproof for their shortsight-
edness in failing to make adequate pro-
visions for dealing with disease from DR..
Irving A. Watson, Chairman of the Inter-
national Quarantine Committee. "There
is not" he says, "a single port on the
North Atlantic coast that is supplied with
the requisite means and methods of
modern maritime sanitary science. This
is state of affairs both dangerous and
discreditable to this country.
If Congress or State Legislatures were
now sitting, or if scourge should fall
upon US before they resume, there is no
doubt that they would all be forced to
take proper precautions for the future.
As it is, if the nation should be spared
from the ravages of serious epidemic,
the people must see to it that when the
edge of this warning has worn off its

peculiar funeral occurred Sunday at Ruffs

The deceased was Miss Rachel johnson, "a
years old, who at the time of her death

she was attacked with something like
strangulation, supposed to be caused by
superfuous flesh about the neck and chest.
Tumor of the stomach developed rapidly
and caused her death.
Sne was buried in special coffin made for
her. 1t was feet long, 2 feet and 10 inches

to use wagon to get the remains to the

OUR APPLIANCES BEHIND THE AGE.
Philadelphia the Only Atlantic Port Well
Equipped to Resist Cholera

Equipped to Resist Cholera.
CONCORD. N. H, Sept. 19-Dr. Irving A.
Watson, Chairman of the international
Quarantine Committee. recently appointed
by the Internal Conference of Boards of
Health for the inspection of the quarantine
facilities at most of the prominent ports on
the North Atlantic coast, has returned.
"There Is not" DIR. Watson said, "a single
port on the North Atlantic coast that Is sup
piled with the requisite means and methods
of modern maritime sanitary science 1t is
sad commentary upon the intelligence
and wisdom OF the national Congress, as
well as of State Legislatures that so little
protection against diseases like cholera and
yellow fever has been provided for. The re-
cent sad and even outrageous experiences
at New York show that that great port is
very inadequately supplied with means that
constitute properly equipped station
against contagion, and it is especially
through the unfiinching determinatio of
the port health officer, in the face of grea ter
difficulties than had ever before confronted
q quarantine official, that so few cases have
reached American soil.
"At no single port was there found q suita-
Bile plant for quickly and efficiently disin-
fecting plague-stricken ships Antiduitared
methods were mostly employed, like for
example, burning pots of sulphur in the
holds of vessels instead OF forcing sulphur
by pressure from blast furnace into every
portion of the vessel and thereby insurins
complete disinfection in few honrs
"While many of our ports are deficient as
regards quarantine stations, cholera is not
very likely to be admitted through these
ports during the present year, although
there is a constant danger ever present OF
its Introduction, and all immi grafton from
cholera-infected countries should be abso-
lutely suspended for year or more.

York during the present season, and the
public should not be alarmed at the appear
ance of the disease. This city is remarka-
bly, clean and looks as if 1t had been swept
over with new broom. The Health De-
partment has done an enormous amount Of
work in the past few weeks upon n system
attic plan.
'The commission found the port of Phila-
delphia to be really the best equipped of any
of the ports examined. The appearance of
a cholera-in fected vessel in that port ought
not to cause the least public alarm, so well
is such an emergency provided for Thus far,
there Is no reason for alarm in this country
nothing that should interfere with Il ONES
tic travel The lateness of the season is in
our favor for this year. and to Congress and
subordinate legislative bodies must we look
for the necessary means to strengthen the
weak points in the defences that are re-
quired to prevent the introduction OF cholera
or any other disease"
