Getting himself Noticed.

| g. F. Peck, the chief Of the bureau OF la
Dor statistics Of New York, has succeeded
| in getting himself noticed at last This
man Peck seems to be democrat in name
aud republican in principle How Sena-
tor Hill, when governor. came to appoint
him is one Of the things that the senator
| himself, perhaps, would find it difficult to
answer.
1t seems from what some of the New
York and Philadelphia papers say nobody
has been paying any attention to Mr..
Peck's annual reports. The Philadelphia
Record says IL examined one OF them two
or three years ago and found it so utterly
useless and unreliable that 1t paid no atten-
ton to his subsequent productions. And
nobody else seems TO have paid any atten-
zion to them. Naturally Mr. Peck resented
that sort Of treatment and he appears to have
concoctsd his report for this year-the re-
port that is just now attracting great deal
of sttention-for the purpose Of compelling
the public to notice it,
In view Of the fact that II is a bungling
attempt to support the Mckinley bill, the
republican papers are trying to make polit-
ical capital out OF it. 1t seems
TO have such little merit, how
ever, that it is not likely to
do the Democratic party any harm. The
Now York Evening Post. in commenting
upon it, says that Peck contradicts Senator
Aldrich, the chief republican wage statistl.
clan "to such degree that if we were to
take both reports as true we should be
driven to the conclusion that the Mex inley
tariff was devised to benefit New York at
the expense OF all the rest Of the country"
Peck has got some notoriety out Of his re-
port, but not the kind that will afford him
great deal Of satisfaction.

Prohibition the Only Means OF 5afetys
A state nent was published In tho New
York papers Of Tuesday that London physi-
clans whose opinions CO nmand attention
had declared that there vas only one way
t. keep the cholera out Of England and the
United States, aud thai was to prohibit
immigration absolutely. Within the last
day or two some OF the New York uuaran-
tine officers have expressed doubt as to
whether It would be possible to stop the
cholera at quarantine.
In view OF these facts, it seems as il the
President would exercise the authority, II
be hasn't It. Of prohibiting immigrants
coming to this country from cholera in
fected cities during the prevalence OF the
cholera In Europe. We are not in need Of
the immigrant, sand there is no reason why
we should run the risk OF having the plague
introduced into this country simply because
people from cholera infected countries want
to come here
There is condition Of affairs at
New York that requires prompt &C.
ton. The prohibition Of immigrA-
ton for a few months wouldn't be
objected TO by any considerable number Of
people. IL would be very generally APP
proved. IL is well understood that
cholera epidemic would not only destroy
thousands Of lives, but would produce stag
nation IN nearly all kinds Of business 1t is
like a holiday now in Hamburg, and it
would be like holiday In New York and In
every otner city in this country il cholera
were to gain lodgment on our shores and
begin to move through the country.
A day or two ago the New York papers
united In rejoicing because the Hamburg
American Packet Company announced that
it would bring no more immigrants to this
country from Hamburg during the preva-
lence OF the epidemic there. The rejoicing,
it seems, was premature. A steamer sailed
from Hamburg for New York on Sunday
having S72 immigrants on board.
It will be strange indeed if cholera doesn't
break out in that load of immigrants.
The announcement that all transatlantic
steamers are 60 be detained at the New
York quarantine for Ave days shows how
serious the situation ia from the standpoint
Of the health officer Of New York He may
talk confidently about keeping the cholera
out Of this country, but he has grave doubts
whether it can DO kept out Let immi-
grants be shut out and the danger OF the
introduction of the disease will be greatly
lsssened. Let them continue to come and
the chances arc that they will bring the
plague with them and distribute It over che
country.
ship from Hamburg arrived at the
New York quarantine yesterday, on which
there had been twenty-five deaths during
the voyage Is 1t not cruel to permit immi-
grants to crowd into ships at infected ports
when ii is almost certain that cholera will
break out among them. and that they will
not be permitted to dissnbark at their port
OF destination until all attacked by the
disease die or recoverl 1t would seem to be
only humane act to prohibit immigration
during the cholera epidemic.

Weaver Haa a Raoord.

When southern men who had been demo
Gratis, but who had Joined the Peoples
party, announced that they were satisfied
with Gen. Weaver as their presidential can
didate, they did not know what sort Of a
record he had. They supposed their represen-
tatives in the Omaha convention had made
themselves thoroughly acquainted with
his career before conserving TO his nomina-
ton. What must be their surprise, there
fore, 20 find that during the civil war he
was one of the blttsrest OF the federal
officers in his feelings toward the south,
and that, II the reports Of his con-
duct are correct, be went out Of his way -
show his hatred of the southern people and
to unnecessarily despoil them OF their prop
erty.
A few weeks ago the MORNISG NEWS
published Gen. Weaver's record as 1t was
presented in the House Of Representatives
by one OF the members Of that body. 1t is
not a record to be proud Of. 1t sho IS that
Gen. Weaver has hArbored bitter feeling
toward the southern people for many years,
and that DO has had no settled views on any
subject for any length OF time. He has
always been ready to join any new party
and advocate any new political demand,
and his chief anxiety has been to attract at
tention to himself and to get into Office.
Judging by Gen. Weavers past career, It
is pretty safe to say that il q new party
should be started next year that promised
to be more popular than the Peoples party
he would join 1t, whatever might
be its doctrines. He is a sort Of political
noun tebank, and II will be- remarkable If
intelligent and thoughtful men, after hnd-
ing out the kind of a man be is, will con-
tinus to support the party Of which he is
the leader.
1t is expected that Gen. Weaver will
speak at several points in this state within
tie next few weeks. His Georgia friends
ought TO insist upon his explaining his
record. He may say that he once hated
the southern people. but that he loves them
now. II what is stated about him, however,
is true, the kind Of hatred he harbored Was
not the kind that is changed to love.
There are some of the third party people
who are so fsnatical that nothing that
could be said Of him would induce them to
abandon him. The larger part OF them,
however. especially those southern demo-
Gratis who are acting with the Peoples
party, will turn away from him II they be
come convinced that he Is not the kind Of
man that should be intrusted with the
leadership Of political party.
